Total war warhammer has little boat graphics for all the factions, iirc the beastmen ship is just a huge sea creature

Godeaters son had a 40k-rear end Sigmarite flying battle fortress which was a fortified flying mountain pulled by an army of flagellants. The Arkanaut's Oath describes a Kharadron battleship (dwarfing the tabletop Ironclad) that has guns enough to blow away squadrons of Greater Daemons.

They've been completely knocking it out of the park with the warband designs, great way to sprinkle a little variety into some standard units even if their rules as a standalone unit aren't usually any good in AoS.

He feels a bit out of place design-wise, yeah. I've grown to enjoy that he's a whiny pissbaby who would have no charisma whatsoever if any of his followers could understand his whiny tantrums, though. It is very funny to me that they've all made up complex beliefs around him at the urging of Gobsprakk, who is trapped in the hell of being the one person who actually understands what he's saying.

I like the mini in the void but yeah inside the faction he is kinda ech. Gordrakk was fine as ironjaw/orruk leader as he was just big angry orc in style of Grimgor. Kragnos being guy who destroyed his whole race and almost wiped out dragons because he is pissbaby does not endear him to anyone.

Winklebottom posted:Great paintjob! Destruction is by far the least cohesive of the four GAs and trying to squeeze a big Faction Leader into it was kinda silly, and it was never gonna fit well. Trying to make him a figure of worship for the disparate destruction forces was also dumb. Would have been cooler and fit better if he was just this massive destructive dude and all the various orks, goblins, and ogres just went "haha this dude fuckin' rules, let's follow him around and see what he gets up to".

Nah, Order makes sense as a group of weakly-aligned polities united only by their opposition to Chaos. Playing up how shaky their cooperation is would probably be a good idea. Chaos and Death have their own respective bosses, so they're fine. Destruction may as well be "and the rest."

Order being at each other throats is half the plot of broken realms. Its mostly Grungi that plays grown up and keeps it together. As far as chaos having big boos - be'lakor works hard to make sure this is not the case and he is making good progress on that

Chaos - Chaos pantheon Death - Nagash worship Destruction - Various forms of Gorkamorka worship Order - Everything else Order is very obviously the "miscellaneous" GA

I got to see stormcast dragon fliers in action, along with Yndrasta doing her thing, and now I covet herohammer and big stupid monsters. SCE's got the herohammer part down, and obviously the flying and walking reptiles. What else is good for focusing on heroes and monsters? I've been eyeballing Avengorii for both monster mashing and graveyard smashing, and I'm not super hot on Sons.

Stormcast are horrid for herohammer (you want combined arms lists) - STD is where its at (karkadrak, foot wizard and lord, wizard on manticore). You can do also give Flesh Eaters and Soulblight a shot. Or if you want to go hard on heros and monsters you can field all magmadroth Fyreslayers. Hedonites are bad right now but they are also very hero heavy

Nighthaunt is great if you're looking for heroes, but not much in the way of monsters (unless you're counting the Black Coach, I guess). Maggotkin is also good - lots of lists run two or three Maggoth lords, and the Glottkin has been getting some play recently too.

grassy gnoll posted:Can you elaborate on this? I'm coming from a position of pretty profound ignorance and more background is always good. Yeah sure - Stormcast have truckload of heroes of with only few are good combatants for the price. On top of that where stormcast damage comes is units - longstrikes, fulminators, annihilators, stormdrake guard that you have to pay arm and leg for. And for those units to do the do you probably need something that will clear the screens or support them. And here come budget constrains Let's say you want to go with monsters and heroes and that is fine but - 4 stormdrakes+knightdraconis+gardus (because warded stormdrake will make someone cry) will cost you 1150 points. For 6 models. And you need 2 more battleline units. CHeapest will net you 220 but you want to clear chaff so lets say you take judicattors with crossbows - 380 pts. So we are 16 minis in and 1530 out of the wallet. We can round it up with 2 more stormdrakes and some chaff for 130. If we go knights excelsior we are still dumping 1000 points into 10 models (impertant+9 annihilators). What I'm saying you have to save points somewhere and stormcast heroes arent really melee titans. You can stuck lord castelant with 10 protectors as sworn bodygards tho and do hilarious things. As far as Yndrasta goes she is 280 for mismatched skillset - she is decent fighter but not for that cash (240 gets you 3 longstrikes or 2 fulminators and they will always deliver more damage than she) and with her support skills she should camp a few blocks of infantry, but then she is the most expensive babysitter in mortal realms. Hope this is somewhat helpful

Stormcast have massive numbers of warscrolls and any given army is only going to use like seven of them.

Yeah that is the gist of it. There are multiple viable builds but you are not going to use 80% of the available heroes. In general heroes are the weakest part of the book

That is super helpful, thank you! Are lackluster SC heroes a function of how many Warcry/Underworlds/etc models they had to fill out, an artifact of first edition legacy stuff, or just random slipups on GWs part?
