crazystray posted:Does this Looncurse teaser that looks like maybe Gloomspite vs Sylvaneth mean they might be done with all Stormcast all the time in the box sets or do you think it is a one off? Either way, I am interested. It's probably a one-off like Plague War or Forgebane, but they tend to feature new models in them, so essentially this might be a mini update for Sylvaneth and we'll get a new battletome off the back of it a la Carrion Empire. That's where the safe bet is.

My first ever Age of Sigmar skirmish game ended with a victory over my friend's Nurgle team.My Guys posted:Allegiance: Order His Guys posted:Allegiance: Chaos The Sequitors bit it quite early on, but the Castigators did some good damage, and were able to hit the sorcerer hiding behind a bush. The thread was right about the Knight-Incantor being super strong, though. My opponent wasn't expecting him to be so good in melee combat, and I got a couple of casts of his big spell off too. Match ended with my Knight-Incantor and Castigator in melee with his Sorcerer; with barely concealed glee, I had my general break two soul flask things, killing his Sorcerer and my Castigator and leaving my general with 1 wound. I made a start on painting my guys as well. Sloppy at the moment due to bad lighting and my hand tremors, but I'm happy with the colour scheme I've picked out.

The Deleter posted:40K thread speculates this is an airbrush of some sort, since Citadel has a range of airbrush paints but only had a (bad) airbrush once, a long time ago. My guess is they are going to stop shipping anything in grey plastic, and have everything come in colored plastic. It feels like they are halfway there already.

Going back a bit butAsmodai_00 posted:If you're wanting to do a full blown Stormcast army, there are worse things you can do than the Soul Wars half. It's got a couple of sticking points though: This is what I ended up going with, and got a pretty good deal on eBay for the Soul Wars part. Combined with what I already have I get exactly 1000 points, and I have ideas in mind further down the line (much further) for expanding to 1500 points.

I’m thinking the rest of the army will be black-based because... yeah it’s a bit much. SteelMentor posted:Please tell me which pinks you are using because I desperately need them in my life. Vallejo “Squid Pink” and “Warlord Purple” (and mixes thereof) with red wash.

Those Pepto Bismorks kick rear end, but I agree black bases would probably help the rest of the models pop. Love the rainbow Gurzag cloak, too. drat. Those blue eyes are very subtle but a nice contrast, too!

A friend of mine lured me into playing AoS. He offered me a box of Orruk Brutes, knowing I like painting stuffs (not just minis, usually scale models). Now I bought the two "Start Collecting" boxes and I have a little army of my own. But I seem to lack some (or any) kind of ranged attack options. I saw that there are some Ork archers but I don't like the idea. I'd like to go the "gently caress subtlety" route for my army and I'm looking for big dudes hurling big rocks. More artillery than archery, in other words. Do I have any options for this?

I'm not sure what the full extent of your options are, like if you splash in other Destruction armies, but from the Ironjawz battle tome specifically you're quite limited for ranged options: Gordrak / Megaboss' mount have an 8" Innard-Bursting Bellow, and the Weirdnob Shaman has a 2D6" range spell and an 18" spell. Other than that, the on-foot Megaboss, Warchanter, Brutes, Gore-Gruntas and Ardboys are all strictly melee. But yea you should be able to splash in some Bonesplitters and pick up some Arrowboys or something. I don't know, I'm still quite new to AoS

Surround him with 3 grots with sticks to 'encourage' him to throw them and you've got a Grot Rock Lobba.

Orcs are not known for their ranged options. I believe you can find various Goblin options - the Doom Diver might still be around. Your best bet is to ally in a Ogre Ironblaster and replace the Ogre motifs with any Orc bits you have spare. It's a weird gun that's hard to hit with and has an insanely swingy damage value, but would fit in perfectly in terms of aesthetic.

Oh yeah I don't mind mixing other Destruction units, don't have to stick to Ironjawz/Orruks. Welp I guess I'll just charge. The Shaman is not too bad but I found that it's hard to actually cast the spells, I seem to keep missing the dice checks. Edit: Would the Rockgut Troggoths? I see that they have a 12" ranged attack where they pick up rocks. Furism fucked around with this message at 15:39 on Apr 2, 2019 |

Can you share your go-to tactic, if there's any? Like I said, all I have for units are the two "Start Collecting" boxes, an extra box of Brutes and a Mega-Boss. My friend plays Stormcasts so that's the only army I'm facing for now.

Furism posted:Welp I guess I'll just charge.  the correct answere; The Start Collecting box comes with 3x Gore-Gruntas right? So you've got 2 min-strength units of those; if you pick up a third unit of Gore-Gruntas then you can run them as a Gorefist Battalion. This lets you make a free 15" move during your Hero Phase on your first turn, then you can still move normally during the actual Movement Phase. So you can move 24" and then Charge which is pretty good. Sab669 fucked around with this message at 15:51 on Apr 2, 2019 |

My friend plays Stormcasts so that's the only army I'm facing for now. A combination of the "Ironfist" battalion movement ability and a bringing in a set of Chronomantic Cogs is usually enough to get you into range for a charge (at +3 with the cogs out!) If you're feeling cheeky and you're made of money you could also field 24+ pigs in a Gorefist with a Krusha to lead them. In either case I bring one or two of the Fungoid Cave Shaman grots to generate CP since that's where a big chunk of your damage is coming from.

Yeah, the usefulness of the Ironfist can't be overstated. I hate to call anything mandatory, but it kinda is. Brute Boss with the klaw/smasha combo becomes really scary to monsters and heroes with the right buffs, like from your Warchanter and your Megaboss on foot. If you want to be super sassy you can take the Ironfist and Ironsuz battalions (hoping for the Ironsunz' -1 to the opponent's hit rolls to go off on a 3+). Let your opponent go first with (again hopefully) a -1 to hit, then move in and pray to Gorkamorka for the double turn. It does require a Megaboss on Maw-Krusha but take heart because pound for pound it's one of the best Behemoths in the game.* It's also a one-drop army since everything's in the Ironsunz battalion. *Honestly you should get a Maw-Krusha anyway. They are amazing and bounding across the board murdering most small units. Dawgstar fucked around with this message at 17:49 on Apr 2, 2019 |
