Geisladisk posted:Underworlds warbands being bad in AOS seriously has to be a conscious design decision, I can't think of even a single one that isn't a dumpster fire in AOS. I keep an eye on the ones I do buy and it sounds like Godsworn Hunt is marginal (mostly due to the caster being separate and having a unique spell), but yeah. It's not even an availability thing because they still sell the warbands minus the UW components as part of the AOS line.

You'd think they'd go the opposite route. "Hey Underpants players, your models are really good in the 'real' tabletop. You're already half way there c'mooon just buy a few more minis" Rather than trying to convince their AOS players to pick up UW stuff.

The Ironjawz one that's three Brutes is okay. They make a good bodyguard unit, but even then I wouldn't go out of my way to include them but if you find yourself coming up short on points for whatever reason they can do some work.

Yeah, that giant is just helping that giant lizard that was choking on that Kharadron he clearly just swallowed. Everyone is cheering because the Heimlich the giant put on the lizard worked.

Should note that the magmadroth in the picture is a new monster called an Ancient Magmadroth that is much bigger then the normal one. It was created because a normal magmadroth would have only gone up to the Mega-Gargants waist and thus the scene would not have looked as cool.

Realmslayer pretty much implied as much either way so it's not exactly pulled out of nowhere. But I admire the effort of explaining it though.

You're already half way there c'mooon just buy a few more minis" Gonna be the contrarian on this topic and say making a product for another game a Tier 1 choice in AoS is probably a good way to make sure anyone who wants to play Underworlds will never be able to find a copy because tournament players are snatching them up constantly. Also, its a potential complication for making the rest of the game balanced. Better to err on the side of caution, since as everyone has already observed they are completely fine just substituting for models in existing units.

I thought it was new because they said they used it cause a normal one would have been too small. Also here is the blurb on the Bestiary quote:Nightmarish undead horrors drift through sunken cities, twisted daemons stalk blood-soaked lands, and titanic Gargants crush entire villages underfoot. Nowhere is truly safe in the Mortal Realms.

I've got my mortal Khorne start collecting box mostly painted up, so I'm looking at options to expand and... They really don't make it easy to remember what the units are when they're all called Blood_____ or Skull_____  There's a goonhammer article that suggests just buying four of the start collecting boxes but... How viable is mixing and matching demons and mortals? Is that a dumb idea?

I'll probably just go the boring route and start with all mortals. With a couple extra Slaughterpriests that I have coming in the mail tomorrow, I can field a 920pt army so I can at least play starter 1000pt games. Then I can just slowly add to it until I get to 2000 pts  Leader [140pts] - Mighty Lord of Khorne [140pts] (Selections: 0. Hew the Foe, 0. Thronebreaker's Torc, General) Other [100pts] - Khorgoraths [100pts] Battalion: Gore Pilgrims [630pts] - Selections: Gore Pilgrims [140pts] - Blood Warriors [100pts] - Bloodreavers [70pts] - Bloodsecrator [120pts] (Selections: 1. Banner of Rage) - Slaughterpriest [100pts] (Selections: 1. Bronzed Flesh, Hackblade & Wrath-hammer) - Slaughterpriest [100pts] (Selections: 5. Killing Frenzy, Hackblade & Wrath-hammer) Misc - Skull Altar [0pts] - Extra CP [50pts] Allegiance: Khorne Selections: The Goretide

No it just means that you don't get Hew the Foe. Instead you get Khul's Command Ability quote:Lord of the Goretide: Khul’s indomitable Along with Khul's other two unique powers over a normal Lord of Khorne. His ability to be able to fight and pile with a range of 8" if he is within 8" is also amazing. MonsterEnvy fucked around with this message at 03:49 on Feb 3, 2021 |

Talas posted:Are all those Greater Demons the same models that we use in AoS? Weren't they different in WHFB? You can kinda handwave it with daemons because the realm of chaos has a loose concept of time and space. Stuff can happen later in the material realm but happen much earlier in the realm of chaos. Its also why the named daemons also exist in 40k, time and dimensions mean nothing. 40k plays with the idea more with warp travel but the same stuff happens, you travel through the warp and might not pop out until a thousand years later (despite being almost no time at all to you) or even pop out to a time before you even left.
