I play KO and they're great fun but I only have a few games played so I'm new to AOS. They're great to build and easy to paint. Boats are easy to spray a solid base then paint in the metal and add weathering. There's a lot of detail to fill in but it's rewarding and fun. Regular dudes are really easy to paint given they're not super detailed and washes will do all the hard work. Playing with them is great. They're all in on guns and some armies have a really tough time dealing with it. They're also able to get to objectives in their skyships and have huge mobility so long as they're no on the ground where they naturally become standard dwarfs. That being said dwarfs are tough as poo poo and have good armour so they can hold objectives and some of them can fight extremely effectively. All the cute stuff like issuing orders and etc makes them flavourful to play. I like them.

KOs only "drawback" is that theyre currently considered the best army competitively so you might be seen as "that guy" but dont let salty nerds stand in the way of fun.

I figure by the time I play anybody, KO will be a little less strong. What color did you base your KO in? I remember somewhere reading that someone used like, Leadbelcher/Gunmetal, but idk if basing in metallics is a good idea.

Love the base as well. Did you paint in subassemblies at all? I have an airbrush as well and I’m not sure if it’s a thing you do with one. Also I didn’t know you could airbrush washes! Do they work the same or did you just want super thin layers? I was kind of thinking of making mine something like a bright blue and gold; I haven’t decided. Just tired of black and silver from my 40K Deathwatch; I want brightness! Tropical orange and blue! Edit: man all those portholes and goggles look boss as well, really nice

I used the wash like a stain so it was coloured green but not bold, I just kept spraying until it looked wet and let it dry. Cam out how I wanted with no real strategy. I've started doing a lot of staining using washes and glazes lately because it's really fast. I'm all about shortcuts. All my infantry were leadbelcher base then I picked out some parts of the armour with green wash to unify everything. Also yeah sub assemblies are easy. I just put the boats together and do the endrins separately then put it together. I've seen some awesome bright coloured KO. I think they can work with any scheme you like, but my second option was tropical holiday themed.

IMHO it would look better if more of the smaller details were picked out in colour as well. Edit - or use gold instead of silver for the metallics just to add a little colour.

I painted during the old WHFB days but never played - did the game board get smaller in AoS the way it has in 40k? It seems like boards getting smaller + bases getting bigger is going to eventually reach a point where you're gonna be able to consistently make turn 1 charges.

Nah AOS is still 6 by 4 foot for 2k games. AOS also has significantly fewer models on the table than WFB did.

If you watch AoS games on TTS or battle reports, yeah, alot of t1 charges, and nothing really lives through them. If a unit touches an enemy unit, basically one of them poofs off the table, makes games quick, and fits the mythological heroic fantasy setting they are doing pretty well. Though I must admit, not particularly as satisfying gameplay to one who enjoyed rank and flank, drawn out fights. Its still enjoyable as a game, but it has tended to get more fast-play, everything is a hammer style as it goes along. models are top notch of course, GWs more ambitious sculptors seem to get the AoS stuff.

berzerkmonkey posted:40K had to shrink the table size because games were taking 6 hours to play. Oh don't get me wrong I definitely think it was the right move, it's just interesting to me that base sizes are also steadily creeping up - seems like it's not too far off from the classic gunline armies being almost obsolete. Maybe that's a good thing too, but I do like seeing different playstyles. I have no desire to play 6 hour games, but I do enjoy a more drawn-out fight now and then. I think stuff like Kill Team / Underworlds / Warcry already lends itself to very fast in-and-out games so I also don't want to see things get *too* streamlined to the point where most armies play almost identically except for a few special rules here and there.

I'm usually a Death Guard / Nurgle player so a zippy shooty army seems like a great alternative when I don't feel like throwing down with Papa's Blessings. I've also never played AoS, but have a few 40K, Warcry and Underworlds games under my belt.

Wow that's surprising, the videos and blogs I read (mainly vincey V and goonhammer) don't seem to reflect that, but I don't have the brains or time to play competitively at this point in my life anyway, my army selections are about 90% hobby 10% gameplay. Captain Magic posted:I figure by the time I play anybody, KO will be a little less strong. I followed this guide: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AteSCS5FgGo) to do my Iron Golems which has leadbelcher as a base with contrast paints over the top. I thought I'd do something similar for my KO, I really liked how the effect came out, and it seems like it'd translate well. As KO seem to be mostly gold metallic, if you wanted to stick closer to the core aesthetic, maybe a balthazar gold undercoat would do the trick?

The tier rating stuff is not always a great reflection of reality - like KO and Seraphon are generally considered the "best" armies, but they don't really have a dominant tournament presence the way some other top armies have had - you'll see them in the Top 3/ Top 5 pretty often but I rarely see a tourney where like all 3 of the top spots are taken by them like you used to see with Slaanesh lists, and there are tons of tourneys where they don't show up in the Top 5 at all. They're very good and statistically they're favored to win like sub-60% of their games, but there's still a ton of variety in the meta right now.

If you specifically like the new Be'Lakor there is a decent chance he will be more than 400 points after the new model and book drops and so not ally-able into a Khorne army.
