I really dont need that Extremis set but the Harbinger set coming with another excellent Swampcalla/trio of equally awesome Praetors might make it very worth it for me.

I watched the Warhammer TV videos, plus Duncan Rhodes video on Mega-Gargants which helped make them less intimidating to paint, but also helped with sub assemblies as well. I definitely recommend them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUEhlFRXnFI Captain Magic posted:Do you use BattleScribe?

I don't use Battlescribe for AoS at all, I did try it though, the leader Megas are in the Battleline section, and you can't seem to give them CAs/Artefacts or make them a General  Better off with Warscroll Builder: https://www.warhammer-community.com/warscroll-builder/

MinistryofLard posted:So trying to do some list building, and my guess is that this edition is going to have the same issues 40k did with detachments in that tons of them are effectively taxes. Battalions are not like 40K detachments, they are entirely optional. You can just run Kroak outside of a battalion. Battalions just provide a bonus if you structure parts of your army to fit them. The only “taxes” in an AoS army are the battleline unit requirements. Also I won a 3-game, one day tournament last weekend with a Sons of Behemat 4 mega-gargant list. They are very fun to play with.

I'm probably going to pick up the main boxed set (or maybe one of the other starter sets), mostly with a view to getting back into greenskins. I sold most of my figures nearly a decade ago, think I just have the big spider (couldn't let that thing go) and maybe some night goblins left. Although I'll mostly be buying the models just cos they're fun and will be enjoyable to paint, it'd be good to think about how an overall army would look. Would you just be able to slot in a bunch of extra goblins and Arachnarok into the Dominion set? And more importantly... how easy is it to pull a bunch of weedy gobbos off of square bases and put them onto round ones? (at least I never glued the spider onto its base!)

You can probably ally the goblins in but greenskins have actually been split into two factions with the Orcs going into 'Orruk Warclans' (which is the faction the models in the starter box belong to) and all the Goblins and Trolls getting their own faction called 'Gloomspite Gitz'.

There’s a bunch of gobs and at least one troll in Kruleboyz, tho. Sloggoth’s the biggest troll they’ve done, in fact, with a bunch of goblins riding on its back. E: two trolls. There’s the swamp trogg mounted orruk boss, too. Pity hobgrots suck.

Interesting, I hope there's some scope to combine them for proper games. Back in the day allying was a bit rubbish as people would usually use it as a way of making up for their army's weaknesses, e.g. putting cannons in a Chaos or Vampire army...

Are there any resources out there for sculpting cloaks/furs? I have some Varanguard and I'd like to see if I can visually tie them a little closer to the other chaos warriors.

have been painting the Blood Knights this week and man, a real step up from the usual units I've done----probably the biggest model I've done besides the 40k blighthauler (which was easier due to broader space to slather metal and pink on.) Amazing models though, the entire Sigmar line has extraordinary detail. The least fun models I've done as of late were those Cursed City zombies, which have all those loving tree branches sticking out of an already micro-size model that's a bit hard to paint due to how shrunken it is. No idea why those zombies are so tiny, makes it a bummer to paint.

I primarily am interested in 40k, specifically, Necrons. However, I bought the Indomitus box and thought it was a great value, and am noticing this Dominion box is probably also a good value. I'm not terribly into Fantasy over Scifi, but I am mildly interested in terms of expanding my minis collection to build and paint, so I'm trying to talk myself out of it. Why shouldn't I give it a shot? Is there a sort of 1:1 with the Necrons but AoS?

Closest you'll get are the Ossiarch Bonereapers, who are kind of Byzantine legions of undead skeleton supermen created from artisanal bone and soul sculpting to conquer the world in the name of Skeletor.

Soulblight Gravelords also have a lot of Necron shenanigans going on. Powerful magic and also resurrections (and summons) of battleline units possible on every turn. Tarpit enemies with cheap throwaway skeletons/zombies/wolves and then wait for the hard-hitting elites to jump in.

Bonereapers got the "tough to kill chunky elite army" part of Necrons and SBGL have the "individually fragile but constantly self-regenerating army based around auras" part of Necrons.

Basically all of Necrons is spread out through the entire Death Grand Alliance, the closest are Soulblight Gravelords and Ossiarch Bonereapers but Flayed Ones and Ghouls are basically the same thing so Flesh Eater Courts is pretty much an entire army of Flayed Ones and even Nighthaunt has some parallels. Necrons are meant to be the space undead so they are at least somewhat similar to all of the undead factions.

All the super glue will become fragile, but you would still have to break the bonds. So, if you freeze it, the model will hang together, but it won't be as solid as it was before.

If the surface area is large, complex and tight fitting you might not be able to impart enough shear to the joint to fracture the glue before material failure (for plastic/resin kits). If freezing doesn't work and the model is metal, drop it into a solvent and everything will come apart.

I did some subassembly on my dawnrider bannerman which was a mistake because the glued banner-holding arm is in a position such that the bottom of the banner pole is bent against his foot. Wanted to fix that somehow -- it'd suck to freeze it since it's fully assembled, so I may just have to accept that it's going to be like that.

Quick tip with the super glue freezer trick that the expansion and contraction of the glue will break the bonds so when you take your dollies out of the freezer hit it with a hot hair dryer to make it even easier to break.

If the model is metal I almost always go with the nuclear option of an acetone bath for either stripping or disassembly.

That's is, Dominion ordered. It's funny seeing the 40K thread stressing over the Orks release (which is quite funny) and the comparisons with Dominion; I actually got it at the cheapest I've seen (with an extra 5% off as well), so clearly it's no fully selling out everywhere. But that's a good thing!!

And by the same measure has also meant that  call the game dead in the water because there's so many Dominion boxes left.Meanwhile the box has been moved to last chance to buy on the GW store.

There definitely was a much larger supply or lower demand than expected for Dominion. Discountgamesinc had different discount tiers for when it was going to ship, but mine that was scheduled for December already shipped last Thursday. That being said, I'm pretty sure there was still an insane amount of demand, they just didn't want another Indomitus fiasco on their hands.

Agreed, we actually convinced a few 40k player to play AoS thanks to Dominion availability and price. And this is with a store that still has a couple of boxes of Indomitus

I think they vastly overrated demand. The fact that all these stores that were supposed to get their third waves in November/December wound up getting everything already certainly seems to point to GW thinking they were going to sell a lot more through the web store than they actually did. I think some of it may have to do with a lot of people weren't as receptive to the Krule Boyz. Personally, I would have liked to see classic Orruks / Iron Jawz bolstered by new units, rather than a reimagining of orcs to be bolted onto greenskins. People love their orcs / orks, and I don't think they care for the aesthetic changing.
