Ugly John posted:Only at 2k points - you only need two battleline at 1k That's more sensible then. It's still a really character-heavy box which is where my "put everything in it into the builder and wonder why it's illegal" confusion came from. Either way I've got my first ever game of AOS this weekend so I'm eager to see how my stuff fares.

Hero-heavy is a thing this edition seems to want to do. I’m all for it because heroes and monsters are cool.

What i am unclear on is if Stormkeep vs Scions is a subfaction thing or an allegiance thing that subfactions lay on top of.

I'm assuming its identical to the current version where you're basically choosing at army creation which of two special rules applies to your army.

I'm looking to turn the start collecting tzeentch box into a 1000 point army. I'm planning to build the fateskimmer on chariot and then running the army under the eternal conflagration change coven and running the pink horrors and flamers as battleline. I'm also planning on running the screamers which leaves me with 370 points left. I know I want to run a second leader unit and I was originally thinking a magister because they're cheap. But maybe there's something better I should run I'm not sure. For the points that are left I was thinking of running either a unit of tzaangors, a unit from beasts/STD or a behemoth from beats/STD. Any suggestions?

I bought Dominion on something of a whim because the new Stormcast spoke to me. I'm thinking about a full trade with another local player to double up on the Stormcast half, and while I know this certainly wouldn't be a top tier choice is it a bad idea to the extent that I'll never use 2 of any of the units in the box? I know the bigger characters are probably in that group, but I don't mind a spare of those.

okay first off I think you might be using old point values because you should have 330pts left. being tzeentch is squishy so I feel like you need a) more casting and b) a unit that can take some hits. A Changcaster + Tzaangors is exactly 330pts. Magister + Tzeentch marked Warriors is 325. Also keep in mind you also have an Exalted Flamer in the kit, but that leaves behind a bit of an awkward points value that's just over the threshold where you can take tzaangors. Alternatively the Pink Horrors can be your tanky unit by grabbing two boxes of blue/brimstones. You should probably get these anyway. If you wanna go with a behemoth option, the Sorceror on a Manticore is actually priced to move at 270pts and gets you another caster, but leaves you with a 60pt gap you can really only fill with an endless spell.

I know the bigger characters are probably in that group, but I don't mind a spare of those. You literally can’t field two Yndrastas, but that’s the only unique unit you need to worry about.the other heroes you probably don’t strictly need two of, but having two of everything means added flexibility in listbuilding.

Der Waffle Mous posted:okay first off I think you might be using old point values because you should have 330pts left. You're right about the points I just hosed up the count. I will definitely get extra horrors when I start expanding but for now with this army I need the pink horrors alone to fill the required 2 battleline units. Unless I misunderstood how that works. If I went for the StD sorcerer what would be a good endless spell to fill with? Honestly I think I want to avoid this option but it depends how good the new monster rules are and not having one is make or break.

I'm thinking of selling my old Tomb King's army and could use some advice: A) Is there any demand for this stuff anymore? B) If so, could anyone help me figure out how to price it? I poked around on ebay and there wasn't much on there, which either indicates it's rare or no one gives a poo poo about Tomb Kings anymore (if they ever did).

There is a large demand for old models still. I recently sold my Bretonnians and I got over £700 for it in the end, some pieces went for over £100. Mine was mostly unpainted so you probably wouldnt get quite that much but you will definitely find interested parties

I sold some of my old High Elves stuff through a miniswap discord. There may be an increase in demand because of the eventual release of the Old World but that's years away. Tomb Kings is out of print as far as I know, so that also might increase its value. But basically: if it's in a blister you can probably sell it for its MSRP. If it's assembled and unprimed, probably 80-90% If it's primed 60-70% And if it's painted, probably 40-50%. If it's painted to a very high standard you can sometimes get more, but it depends.

Are Khorne a viable team at the moment? Seems like they did reasonably well in the 3.0 changes. I've got a few blood warriors and a blood secrator who I bought mainly for the fun of painting, but I'm now considering a larger picture for them so that I can get them into an army potentially in the future.

Lucinice posted:You're right about the points I just hosed up the count. horrors stay battlline as long as the unit starts with pinks, they can still split and stuff. Also you can use the blues, brimstones, and exalted flamer as summoned units. monsters are heavily pushed and can get you (or cost you) extra victory points in the current battlepack. as for endless spells I'm not sure. Chronomantic Cogs is a good one at 45pts but unless you can somehow snag one separately its part of an expensive boxed set. Never really had much experience with the tzeentch endless spells.

I mean its dancing around the idea that the correct answer to "what monster do I use in a Tzeentch army" is a Lord of Change but a Manticore is almost a third of the price and still quite good.

At this point I’m unsure if anyone has actually figured out how good endless spells are in the new meta. With the new control and movement rules, I expect them to be surprisingly good.

With the new control and movement rules, I expect them to be surprisingly good. All Endless Spells I have used have been quite useful with one exception. The exception was when I summoned the Purple Sun and got two turns of use out of it before the end of the game. But on three of those uses I rolled a one making it deal no damage, so I just very unlucky.

Done my test dudes and like them so it's on to batch painting the rest of dominion then play a game on Tuesday. Going to do the blades like the moonlight sword from bloodborne but waiting on some colours.  E: got to say big props on the new stormcast armour it's so much better than the blocky boys. Couldn't help but go with the full metal. JBP fucked around with this message at 07:23 on Jul 30, 2021 |

Class Warcraft posted:I'm thinking of selling my old Tomb King's army and could use some advice: lol TKs are in extremely high demand. Do an ebay search on the unit name (i.e. warhammer ushabti) and then filter for "Sold Items." That will show you anything sold in the last 90 days (iirc) and give you an idea of what you should be charging. Items like ushabti, snake surfers, tomb guard, and warsphinxes go for a very good price. Skeletons do pretty well also. Chariots tend to be on the lower end, and horsemen can go either way. Sealed items will command a much higher price - I sold a box of sepulchral stalkers for $200 a few months ago. Just remember a couple of things: 1) Buy It Now is your friend - auctions don't always go as well as you might hope. 2) If you price a bit high, you can always come down later - you can't reverse a sale if you price something too low. 3) Unless you're a pro, painted doesn't mean anything other than "I've got to strip this and repaint it" to most people, so don't expect to charge a premium for painted models. 4)If you sell the entire army at once, expect to make less than parting it out - the higher price will lock some people out, and the ones who can afford it don't necessarily need everything you're selling - in effect, they would be paying more to buy the units they do need, and then either having extra stuff, or having to sell the extras themselves. It's a fine line. Finally, if you're not in a rush, get some good photos showing condition and wait until people start getting hyped for the Old World - you may be able to capitalize on that and make even more money. Good luck!

Yeah of course but for a 1k point army a lord of change would be way overkill. Maybe this shows I don't really need monsters for a 1k point game.

Talas posted:If you are very patient, those prices are going to go way up when The Old World releases... or not, it's still a gamble. i cracked open my vault of dwarf minis that i was never going to use (lots of old 6th ed metal minis, battle for skull pass sets, 7th ed plastics) and got MSRP for metal models that were heavily used and stripped of paint if you have OOP models on the sprue, those are gold (ex. last i checked the 7th ed dwarf warriors are $80-$100/box still on the sprue). tbh, i'd sell everything now, especially bretonnia, which is bonkers and absolutely will be getting new sculpts in Old World edit: personally, i'm keeping my old 2500 point 8th ed dwarf army for sentimental purposes and selling everything else off. bought a KO army with the funds and now have a funny money account berzerkmonkey posted:2) If you price a bit high, you can always come down later - you can't reverse a sale if you price something too low. adding onto this, ebay even has a function now where if yout item goes unsold, you can toggle it to automatically relist the item for 5% less Business Gorillas fucked around with this message at 14:20 on Jul 30, 2021 |

AnEdgelord posted:Some rules previews for warclans quote:You don’t have to give up all your subfaction’s battle traits, either – each of the three retains their best ability. That's pretty cool, I don't think it was the case in the previous Big Waagh! But they only mention even more new Kruleboyz units, nothing for the other Orruks and that's a bummer. I want to see some Ironjawz monsters that aren't mounts, even if it's just an unmounted Maw-Krusha or a herd of Gore-Gruntaz. Maybe some ranged units too (just have some big Orruks really into hurling big rocks at things) so I don't have to Big Waagh! just for the Kruleboyz units.
