This recent article about Lumineth allies drops a hint on how Gargant Allies work. Each allegiance can take a single named Mega-Gargant in their army - Order and Destruction get the wonderfully named Bundo Whalebiter, a Kraken-eater Gargant. Presumably Destruction gets access to all of these named Gargants if they want. They presumably take up your Allies point budget, judging by the theme of the article.

We saw their points in GH2020 and they cost 480-490 so i imagine theyll get a note on their datasheet they can ally even over your budget just like Gortrek.

I could really use some advice on a project I've been contemplating for awhile now. I really love the vibe of the old Warhammer Black Dragon with a rider, but hate the dragon himself (mostly his derpy head). So I want to create something to stand in for it, using a different dragon model. But, I've had no end of trouble trying to figure out how to do a conversion. I'm generally no good with green stuff since I'm still a novice with it. This is the dragon I picked up to replace him, so now I just need to figure out how to create or kitbash a saddle + character to work with it. I'd prefer not to also have to buy the Black Dragon kit as I've no guarantee it would even work with mine, but if that seems to be the best idea I may have to. Does anyone have any ideas for how it'd be best to proceed? Ideally I want a really badass dark elf sorceress or something on there in a saddle, so I'd been looking through saddles to see if there were any I could maybe cut away some of the dragons neck to fit in just above his wings but couldn't find any that seemed to come alone, plus there'd be no guarantee they'd work with another figure (the bow legged stance isn't exactly easy to find/convert in my experience so far!)

 I started painting a Slaves to Darkness Warcry warband in january. Then Covid happened and instead of being one of the many things I can do for fun, mini painting became the only thing. Unfortunately I've only managed to squeeze in a couple of games with them during lulls in Covid, but this too shall pass. Special thanks to Splintered fang for being so poo poo at Warcry that they made me pick up a STD starter. That escalated quickly.

How do Nighthaunt sit in terms of competitiveness? Thinking about putting together a small force since by the time I finish painting them it will probably be possible to play games in person again. I'm not looking for like min-max tournament stuff but I also don't want to play an army with bad powercrept rules unless they're at least bad in a really fun way. Also how the hell do people even transport their armies around for games anymore, looking around at 2k lists it seems like every army has like 3-4 gigantic centerpiece minis that are like 2 feet tall and covered in extremely fragile fiddly bits.

Nighthaunt suffer from the being one of the first 2e books. Hope they get a good pass next time around. Going by the Lumineth and how good they are bravery shenanigans I feel the next nighthaunt release could focus a bit more on that.

I want to care about Lumineth but... why cows Gdubs, why... I ended up picking up an Arkanaut Frigate because I just love the model and the idea of sky dorfs in general. Any good Kharadron Overlords lists? Are they decent on the table? Really just looking for excuses to buy more airships.

Had no clue about an AOS thread. Been playing a lot of aos on the west coast and now the midwest since 2.0 came out. Been playing Seraphon, Stormcast, and Fyreslayers for the most part. Taking a break from painting aos at them moment but thinking of my next projects. Been getting in games with the new seraphon book and its been fun as someone whos been playing seraphon since pre points days. Will post some painted pictures later, at work right now. What is every one working on? I need to set some painting goals and get back into things, is that a thing we do in this thread?

I just realized that "osseous" means "made of bone", so a "Ossiarch" is a bone-ruler. So the name of the Ossiarch Bonereapers is Boneruler Bonereaper. They're the boneguys. What do they want? Your bones. Where do they live? In the bonecities. What is their equipment made of? Bones. What ammo does their artillery fire? Bones. Boney bone bones boner boney bone. A fractal made of bones. The closer you look, the more bones you see. Bones. bones

Posted this in the wrong thread originally, but I really like the Heldenhammer paint scheme. I've heard they're a pretty viable faction/subfaction to play assuming you bring along a lot of shooters. Anyone have opinions on the ranking of Stormhosts?

Heldenhammer is a good pick because of the extra activations, generally used with a hard-hitting shooting unit. Not picking a named host and going with the 'Staunch Defender' general trait to stack saves is an older trick. The other hosts were all very similar with the exception of Hammers of Sigmar having a lot of named characters (all of which you would take more for flavour than tabletop power). Bear in mind that Stormcast is an old, old book now and, in general, newer armies get a lot more unique tricks/traits out of their sub-faction pick.

Good info, thanks. I just got the three pack of Stormcast to play around with paints, I haven't settled on a faction. Someone suggested Beastclaw Raiders because of the low unit count, but I've also heard good things about Seraphon and Maggotkin. Argh, all the AoS factions are so good stylistically though!

My wife and I are thinking about taking up painting Ham Mans for a winter hobby. I've got a lot of random unpainted stuff lying around, but I like the idea of having a pair of armies that we could throw against each other while waiting out the plague. After looking around at the various armies in both GW games, we figured that Gloomspite Gitz and Bonereapers aesthetically appeal to us the most. Is there any advice on buying kits that are relatively matched and don't require a multi-hundred dollar upfront investment?

Personally, I wouldn't sweat the specific kits and just make sure that the combined points values of the units you each get are the same. Hypothetically that should balance things for you. You can use Warscroll Builder to help you work out small lists and help plan your purchases. Generally, Gloomspite are a kind of horde army so you have lots of cheap lovely guys, though you can play them with more big things like Arachnarok spiders, Trolls and Mangler Squigs, etc. The Bonereapers are at the other end of the spectrum, being elite skeleton constructs which cost a lot of points resulting in smaller lists. Start Collecting box sets are a relatively cheap ($95 USD) to get a small starting force for most armies, but I don't think the Bonereapers have one yet being a really new army. If you were thinking making small armies is beyond the scope of what you want to do, and just get one box of troops each, a better idea might be to check out Warcry. Its the skirmish scale battle game for Age of Sigmar, and there are rules for the Gloomspite and Bonereapers. A box of the regular Mortek Guard, and a box of Boingrot Bounders should make playable warbands, and if you can track down the rule book and the respective faction cards that's a fun game that plays real quick.

Personally, I enjoy Warcry a lot more than AoS. It’s one of my favorite games now. EDIT: get this box if you want to do gobbos: https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Warcry-Gloomspite-Gitz-2020 It’s $50 and contains the entire $50 squig hopper kit, plus $20 worth of Sneaky Snufflers and all of the gobbo cards. It’s direct-only now but a ton of stores still have it on the shelves. Sulecrist fucked around with this message at 15:37 on Sep 26, 2020 |

Professor Shark posted:Any ideas on what old school/ current school GW models would work for a Elven Cleric DnD character? For currently in stock stuff: One of the new alarith stoneguard if you can replace the head or clip off the bull head topper. Dark eldar llhamaean with some kitbashing. Older stuff: Alarielle on foot though she's more of a mage. Caradryan's armor looks right but he's holding a halberd and a giant helmet. Here's a site I found with some older model pictures. A lot of the characters, like Teclis, could be good with some weapons changeups. There are a ton of non-GW elven cleric models out there but hopefully this gives you a start and somebody has better ideas.
