Is Age of Sigmar: Fury of the Deep, the new box with Idoneth and Fire Dwarves a limited time release? Or will it be available for the foreseeable future?

 Finished the last model of Morgwaeth's Blade-coven yesterday. Got them as a gift from a friend last year and I hate that it took me until now to finally get them painted up. I really don't like painting fully assembled models, especially when they're so twisty like some of these are. But it's kinda hard to do subassemblies with the Underworld models.

Yeah painting any model with thin whips makes me nervous. I want to make some sort of painting handle with a protective cage that somehow still lets me apply paint.

Cleaning the halberd was a lot more worrying than painting it or the whip. That thing feels really, really flimsy and I was definitely worried it'd snap as I was trying to clean off some cruft on it. I generally don't like whips on models because they always balloon out too much, even if they're not liable to snap.

Man, they finally made rituals worth thinking about! That ebb tide one is wild, although I don't know if anyone will be picking it without building around it. Wonder what the third round ritual is.

Amazingly already got my order, less than 24 hours after placing it. This modern world has some marvelous convenience sometimes. I only wish I had a local store to buy paint from. The closest is probably 70 miles away or so.

The real trick is figuring out which rounds you want to be good at on the start of round 1, and then having to declare it so your opponent knows when it's coming. But with benefits like that, knowing may not help.

Was really hoping a mix of eels, sharks, and turtles would be competitive but it sounds like the new Idoneth book is just switching eel spam for shark spam instead. Really wish they'd write the AoS rules in a way that didn't just encourage taking as many of whatever the current busted unit is as you can + whatever heroes buff them.

Thankfully, most people don't chase meta outside 40k locally... and that's one of a few reasons why I don't play 40k.

We've got no clue how the Idoneth book will shake out - is itin the wild yet? The sharks seem cool but a 4+ save doesn't make those 10 wounds go far.

Won't know all of the details until tomorrow but the source of leaks on it that has been reliable so far apparently said that eels are going to up 195 points and Leviadons are going to be 500, and that thrall-heavy lists are going to be really, really good now. I hope they're full of poo poo because that's like the exact opposite of what I want lol, I hate the Namarti sculpts and all the cool sea life was the entire reason I got interested in Idoneth. I love the sharks but I don't want my army to just be 8-10 of them because everything else is overcosted. My local meta is semi-competitive so I can probably get by with some degree of just playing whatever units I like the look of, within reason.

Well I have a ton of Namarti now and lol if it makes them own. Shame about the turtles, that's a hefty price point. Anything else about eel rules? I'd like a coherency change at the very least.

This is all absolutely fine for me since I have a ton of namarti and a third shark from Fury of the Deep, so I'm gonna be rocking Bloodthirsty Shivers or fuckin Charge and Fight Again Namarti hordes. Seems like this book owns imo.

Reviews from Goonhammer: https://www.goonhammer.com/battletome-fyreslayers-3rd-edition-review/ https://www.goonhammer.com/battletome-idoneth-deepkin-the-goonhammer-review/ The new books seem fine(?) Not sure how their players are going to react, but if we see more variety in lists, that's a win for me.

I'm hoping my first impressions of the book are overblown but it just kinda feels like trading one kind of spam for another. Eels seem strictly inferior to sharks now, and the Leviadon is pretty drat powerful but absolutely not 500 points powerful. Kinda weird anyway since eel spam was already basically disappearing from the competitive scene in favor of sharks already, and now they're even better. Probably just a result of books being written well in advance and not getting to keep up with how the meta shifts, though. It's a good, strong book and seems well balanced apart from needing a couple of small points adjustments here and there, I'm just bummed that every time I start putting together a list that seems fun and capable of hanging in a pretty competitive local meta a new book comes out and knocks it down a peg.

You either take the moment in stride and accept your books sucks/rules and it'll change in the future, or you take the models and a copy of a different game you like and play that instead.

I would be interested to know how many people actually play the game. I collect, assemble, and occasionally paint the models, and that is the most fun portion for me. I might get a few games in per edition. The army list gives me an interesting guide in how I collect my miniatures, and provides a fun thought experiment, but again, that portion, for me, significantly outweighs how much actually playing I will do. If the models were ugly and low end would anyone play age of sigmar or anything by GW? I really find it to be a hobby with a game attached as a bonus option. That being said, a fair number of people must play the game because the releases are obviously designed to entice sales. Each release either shakes up an army, adds power creep, or some combination of that until there needs to be a big reset and a new edition launched. Or in the case of WHFB it gets to the point where they just say "gently caress your models and your armies, we're doing something different now".

Having played some Necromunda back in the day, the narrative stuff can be really compelling because it's less competitive and more about telling a story which is fun. I'd like to play the game but I haven't been able to since I got back into the hobby with the Lumineth box nearly two years ago

I saw a review and someone mentioned that, and that they thought it might work better with a varnish coat applied. Yours look like the paint was fine, did you varnish the base colors first?

Selling some old stuff that's been sitting around in my closet (a half done Sylvaneth army and SCE army) and buying some Ironjawz since I love orks (excuse me, "Orruks"). Two start collecting boxes, two mawkrushas, and a shaman would give me: Boss on Mawkrusha Boss on Mawkrusha Warchanter Warchanter Shaman 5x Ardboys 5x Ardboys 5x Ardboys 5x Ardboys 3x Goregruntas 3x Goregruntas Which seems like a pretty straightforward way to get a 2000 pt army for relatively cheap. Am I running into any big pitfalls with this list?

The base's paint is coated in transparent craft glue to increase cracklyness, so I've avoided that issue. I wasn't aware it damages paints but thanks for mentioning it.

Yeah, I read this article and it seems kind of hard to describe, but I guess the mordant earth can suck up pigment from the paint and cause it to look milky and broken? https://www.goonhammer.com/how-to-base-everything-the-floor-is-lava/

I really *want* to play more games but every store near me has either cancelled all in-person play or is full of people who refuse to mask, so while I'm boostered up and in good health I would feel extremely dumb if I got sick over playing army men.

I feel like game stores only exist in two opposite forms; those that are strongly inclusive and have a bunch of interesting people who feel comfortable shopping and gaming there, and are therefore likely closed to in-person still, or those stores people go to get swastika decals to make their armies look "more historically accurate" and have 40k armies festooned in various "dark energy runes", and unsurprisingly those places are full of chuds without masks.

The main store in my area for 40k/AoS is finally reopening to in-store play, but have said that they will still require masks while inside the store. Dunno how the "Nazi" situation is there, but it used to be pretty good about keeping those fucks out.
