Is the price for these listed anywhere yet? They’re usually about 100-125 Britain bucks, right?

The Battleforce is likely only here for the holidays, but all the individual parts are things you can grab any time. You'll just end up probably paying slightly more all told.

Honestly the Lumineth one isn't bad, except for the Bannerblade. The original battleforce or whatever isn't worth the money anymore anyway so this is solid. You get a decent set of infantry and cavalry, the Lord-Regent is a good hero, the Ballista is fine. Only thing really missing are Sentinels and a Cathallar. I guess the bladelords don't really make a ton of sense since there's no Scinari in that box to bodyguard. Dreylad fucked around with this message at 02:15 on Nov 19, 2021 |

So I'm bored at work so did a point rundown of the boxes for whomever it might matter OBR: Can make a legal 1000 pts army, box clocks on 1140 pts LRL: Is legal at 1000 points but is only around 815 pts, so some additional purchase would be required HOS: 1030(sligltly more if you build painbringers as twinsouls) but only has one battleline. This can be remedied by grabbing lord of pain as general. SG: Only 875 but you get two standard battlelines and a conditional one. 125 left over is about the cost of necromancer

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2021/11/19/dragons-are-on-their-way-but-not-before-a-quick-balance-pass So apparently GW has done something as unheard of as in doing more playtesting and subsequently dragons are seeing a points increase. There's also a balance sheet for AoS coming next month. No word on when the dragons themselves will land though.

The Battleforce boxes have become a bit of a trap, imo. I've bought two so far - the Skaven one from two years ago, and the Tzeentch Arcanite one the year before. Both times, the armies have been nerfed into the ground afterwards and are in really rough shape now.

Looking forward to the balance update next month, I wonder what other shifts are coming. E: also if you think Tzeentch is in a bad place right now, I’m not sure what you’re looking at. Tzeentch remains an extremely powerful faction.

It's bizarre that they do considering they just dropped this article https://www.warhammer-community.com/2021/11/19/the-imperium-is-driven-by-hate-warhammer-is-not/ I'm not a big fan of Stormcast, but at least some of the lore I've read firmly puts them in "not good guy, just against Chaos" category. The snippet that comes to mind is when they "saved" a village from a Chaos incursion. After the Chaos forces were beaten (nurgle, iirc) the villagers ran up saying "thank you for saving us". The leader just said "we weren't saving you, we were stopping Chaos" then proceeded to order the execution of the entire village to prevent any tainting.

Stormcast being good guys depends entirely on which Stormcast group you're dealing with. Some of them are genuinely great people who love and protect, like the Hallowed Knights and the Anvils of the Heldenhammer. Others are just the worst loving people, as bad as the worst of the Space Marines, like the Knights Excelsior or the Celestial Vindicators. e: the core ones, the gold and blue Hammers of Sigmar, are very much 'well i guess you aren't the worst but you guys have done some bad poo poo'

I never paid attention to the dragons and holy poo poo their warscrolls are insane. The really good news in that rebalancing article is that AoS is getting the same quarterly rebalancing efforts as 40k which is great.

You are responding to a guy who says Tzeentch was nerfed to the ground, so I would take that statement with a grain of salt 2. Slanesh is easy to fix since what brings them down hardest is pricing (180 pts for archers wtf is that) GreenBuckanneer posted:Thanks for this, I've been thinking about OBR 500 points is not really supported, but you can start playing Path to Glory at around that level(600 more likely) if you have people for it. Game is not really build for games smaller than 1000 pts beyond PtG imho. As far as contents of the box I'm not super savvy on OBR but since you can already build legal 1000 list I think you might either bulk up on guard or add some cavalry/additional stalkers.

From up there to 2000 its 44x60. Gw sells this cardboard-mat packs (you don't need them, of course) and a single pack of those is sized for 1000 points.

GreenBuckanneer posted:Thanks for this, I've been thinking about OBR For 2k points add Katakros with Arkhan, or if you want to go cheap, just add Nagash. Replace the Soulreaper and the Harvester with another 20 Mortek Guard and 5 Kavalos Deathriders. Soulreaper is one of the worst OBR units and the Harvester has always underperformed for me. The Guard is much better, survivable and punchy, Kavalos for speed and grab objectives and the heroes I mentioned can bring back a bunch of models every turn. OBR is not in the best place of the meta, thanks to the fact that you can't stack command abilities and they can't use the generic ones, so you've to think way more about what to use depending the situation.

Few months ago I asked here about how to build a 1000 point army and I had my general as a changecaster on burning chariot but like are they even any good? It seems like it probably isn't.

If they're just GW... sweet, does anyone have any suggestions for what I can use them for in 40k standard? I kind of want an entire army of tiny knights in 40k.

There are plastic AT knights. The Acastus, Cerastus and Questoris are available from the GW store in this case. But they're like the size of a terminator so maybe combat servitors for AdMech?

Same - I figured that the conductor on the right doesn't count as caroling because he has a shape that is very distinct from a musical note near his head whereas the other three all have notes. Joke's gonna be on us though when it turns out we over-analyzed the world's easiest question.
