They could pull off the TK separation from Nagash by having the AoS TK capture their souls in canopic jars upon death or something. This would keep the Canon of the separation between the two factions. Hell, that would also allow for TK to be an Order army. You could even faction in human units who are subservient to the lich priests and perform the rank and file roles, leaving the heavy lifting (tomb guard, ushabti, etc) to the undead portions of the army.

Thought I’d share progress on my Sylvaneth army, I’ve been working on them since a little before Christmas. These have been a real pleasure to paint, lots of dry brushing and washes mean they come together quick.  Rest of the gallery here: https://imgur.com/gallery/ofVWDMu

At the end of the day Skeletons are Skeletons so you can easily run Tomb Kings as normal Death Rattle stuff with no effort.

 Finished this Saurus Oldblood over the weekend, my fastest painted model yet. It ended up looking good but I'm kinda  over the model as a whole. Especially in comparison to other Seraphon kits.

On a whim I ordered the Gloomspite Battletome. No clue how they play at the moment, but I adore the models and would love building a little force of them if nothing else. Recommendations for initial purchases? Does anyone have their Path to Glory table?

Yeah I noticed that lol, I was asking in the discord earlier about my options with a Path to Glory campaign coming up - it's either wait it out and miss games or go all in with a warband that has no bodies...so basically all trolls or all squigs. Both sound fun but I'm not sure which approach to take.

Goons can relate to the grots. Spiteful creatures who fear and hate the sun and get high off various substances, possibly losing an arm in the process.

I really wanted to paint some stone. These guys went from purchased to assembled to primed to painted in one full day of work. Really satisfying.  I love the scenic bases for these guys. If they did a pack of 'em I'd buy an entire army's worth.

There are loads of places that do really good sculpted resin bases that look great. Some companies even do them pre painted which can be useful if you're trying to get table top ready ASAP.

Painted some more Skeletons Which means I've done the full 1500pts I promised myself I'd do before moving on to some Skaven. Here's the 1480pts of my Grand Host of Nagash from the Realm of Life that started as 4 Glaivewraith Stalkers last month, and spiralled out of control a bit.  And some of the units  Mr Boss McBones  Mrs Deadington (complete with messed up finecast face)  Senior Skullomancer  Old Man Spooks  The Inhuman Torch  Souls without Hosts  Hosts without Souls  Banhammers.  Goregoyles I do still have Arkhan the Black and a Zombie Dragon to paint, but they're waiting for my Airbrush setup to be finished before I go anywhere near them. Those two and the remaining skeletons I have will make it to around 2500pts.

Wizard posted:Just wow. Thats all i got these are amazing. Is that a citadel blue or ankther company? Thanks. The basecoat for the blue is Thousand Sons blue it's a really nice colour with the bonus that it cover's really well, and the highlights are Baharroth Blue (I may use this more than the average person), and a dot of Ulthuan Grey here and there. Sab669 posted:How much time in a week do you spend painting, richyp? Depends, usually a couple of hours in the evenings here and there depending on whether richyp jr. is alseep and/or MrsP is occupied. Let's go with 6-8hrs a week during painting season. A character will take me 1 or 2 sessions (The Vampire and the Wight King were pretty quick, maybe 2-3hrs each) and i'll paint Batteline stuff in 10's usually over 2 or 3 nights. It's brought up a lot on the Discord about how long it takes me to paint stuff, but in summary I paint mostly with washes and glazes over white or grey primer and a large brush for pretty much everything, and use a hairdryer after every layer/wash to save a lot of time. e.g. 10 Skeletons over 2 nights is usually: Day 1: Prime white Wash Sepia : Hairdyer Paint the metals, (VMC Gunmetal, Stipple Rhinox Hide, Stipple Troll Slayer Orange, Agrax wash, Stipple Gunmetal again) Day 2: Paint 1k sons blue bits Paint any other detail color (banner colours, text etc..) Hairdryer Highlight (skip 2nd highlight because there's so many and  )After doing 10-20 of those I'll do something different like a character or a unit with a different set of colours e.g. the Vargheists, to break up the monotony. Also the Graveguard took a lot longer because I was doing one colour/wash while painting characters over the same week, so I did the Vampire Lady after I'd done the metals on them, and when I did the blues on the Wight King, I also did it on them too. etc....

I would've guessed a lot more time than that, drat. I just finished up this Sequitor last night:  I should go back and re-do the edge highlights. Previously I just hit the cloth with some clean Khaki and it didn't pop enough; tried straight white and now it seems to be too much. But I don't want to go back because I've got 9 more of these guys to paint. I'd like to get 4 more done by this Saturday but that seems unlikely to happen. They are honestly a very quick paint scheme but I burned myself out trying to Assembly Line my Death Guard, which are way too detailed for me / that approach so I've been reluctant to try and Assembly Line my Stormcast.

Crosspostin from the discord, whoever gets to it first. If a Loonboss on Mangler Squig has the Fight Another Day trait that lets them move after they do their weapon attacks, does that mean just the Loonboss can attack or can you attack with him, the crew, and the squigs and then move? If you can't do the latter, can you decide the order of your attacks and just save the Boss's attacks for last?

Artifacts and Command Traits are explicitly called out as only affecting the owners attacks, never the mounts or hangers on. I’m pretty sure you can choose whatever order you want for the attack sequence though.

Finished up the last 3 of these guys, for a group of 4. The guy with the crow was previously finished.  All my painted Nighthaunt guys to this point:  So far I'm really digging the Sigar models even more than the 40k stuff I've done, and I like a lot of the 40k stuff. Somehow I've picked armies across both games that are a hassle to store and transport.

Got in another game of Sigmar, this time with: Scar-Vet on Carnosaur Trogolodon 1x 20 Saurus Warriors 3x 5 Saurus Knights 1x 10 Skinks 1x 3 Ripperdactyls The Scar-Vet and Saurus Knights were in the Firelance Starhost battalion. I lost pretty badly. Did good: Scar-Vet on Carnosaur, Ripperdactyls, Saurus Warriors. Did horrifically godawful: Saurus Knights, Skinks. The Skinks I know it's because I didn't bring enough, but good lord the Saurus Knights haven't been worth their points even kinda any time I've used them. I'll inflict a wound on something, and so far the mortal wounds on charges have literally never triggered once. Starting to think I should go all in on Saurus Warriors (at least with what I have), keep using the Scar-Vet on Carnosaur, and try to get another box of Ripperdactyls because they've been shredding the gently caress out of whatever I point them at.

For my gobbos, I'm thinking a very pale green for their flesh - maybe rakarth, pallid wych flesh, and some light green wash. I want their robes in red. Maybe purple for squigs. I'm gonna have to buy so much paint this weekend.

If you want pale you can probably get away with a Coelia Greenshade over a White basecoat.

 Another project I managed to finish in two days. Kinda proud how I managed to get the eyes mostly right. Also it turns out both my Flayed One Flesh and Pallid Wych Flesh end up looking really chalky so the skin didn't end up looking as pale as I wanted it to. Turns out a 2 to 1 ratio of Flayed One/Kislev FLesh ratio didn't help making it that much paler either. Also if I ever paint another one of those I'm leaving the hair until last because of how it curls in front of the leg.

Could you post a few more of this? I just started painting my Soul Wars Ballista this week and I'm really struggling to pull it together. It's so unlike all of the actual dudes that I can't figure out how to approach it. Unrelated, but I was reading an article on Reddit titled, "Heroin for middle-class nerds: How Warhammer conquered gaming". In comments I found this post: quote:Did they at least remove all of the silly IRL nonsense from AoS again? Or do you still have to be a sexist pig to power up a leader and so on? I'm only just getting into AoS obviously, so I have no idea what AoSV1 was like. So... wtf is this guy on about?

The sexist pig part was implicit instead of explicit, many units had rules that gave you a benefit for doing something in real life, like making eye contact, insulting your opponent until they reacted or pretending to ride a horse. They’d pretty much all been removed as part of the first General’s Handbook. Oh the sexist part might have been the bonus to combat certain Empire units got if your real life mustache was nicer than your opponents and I think Dwarves got a beard comparison rule. The designers have mentioned that their intention was you’d wear a fake one if you couldn’t grow one yourself. Macdeo Lurjtux fucked around with this message at 17:07 on Jan 29, 2019 |

Sab669 posted:I'm only just getting into AoS obviously, so I have no idea what AoSV1 was like. So... wtf is this guy on about? So when AoS first released, the powers that be were insistent on this idea that the game was essentially a role-playing system that would be used to make cool stories. Never mind that the setting, at that moment, was a vaguely defined mystery. Never mind that the two sides were "golden hammer men" and "Khorne(?)". Never mind that there was no system to personalize your guys or get invested in them, one of the strongest points of an RPG! Anyway, in order to push this idea, the legacy rules for old armies had roleplaying rules around special characters. Mannfred had a rule where you had to pretend to talk to the model in order to get rerolls. If you had Settra, the old Tomb Kings leader, you instantly lost a battle if you knelt for any reason because Settra Does Not Kneel. These are the least embarrassing ones I can remember, and I think they all just made everyone mad. Nowadays, the story-telling thing is still implied with the Narrative rules, but they're entirely optional and don't involve embarrassing yourself in public. More than playing AoS usually does anyway.

Ah. That sounds anywhere from Stupid (beard) to Comical (kneeling). But also terrible for a game where you're supposed to dump literal hundreds of dollars on models.
