Skaven are getting their range refresh one Warband at a time. Thankfully, the Warbands are really nice. The Eshin one in particular looks like it will be super fun in a game of AOS with the assassin being able to sneak in and out of combat thanks to his friends.

Yeah, I ran the monthly meet up at my local store for over a year, getting maybe 1-3 people each time, trying to keep it alive after a couple people moved away. The breaking point was when I organized a tournament, with prize support I provided, multiple people RSVP’d to it, and then nobody showed up.

Is a low model count viable for them? What other armies would work well? (open to most factions except human ones). I know Gloomspite Gitz supposedly work well but not a huge fan of the way the big units look Maggotkin are pretty good for this, especially if you lean into Mortals and/or go Pusgoyle heavy.

I just got myself huge collection of underworlds second hand (gnarlwood, harrowdeep, direchasm, nightvault, shadespire and starter set + 10 or so bands) so I think I will push for more whu in my lgs. There was a moment underworlds got really popular but then it faltered. Now that you can play rivals format and don't have to buy everything it should be way easier to get people in

I haven't painted seraphon but gitz are my favorite army that I've ever painted. Weird little Jim Henson villains. Squigs especially are fun, I probably wouldn't enjoy painting a bunch of stabbas.

Would the Dawnbringers: Gloomspite Gitz – Braggit’s Bottle-snatchaz box set be a good place to start then? It seems a bit more focused than the Vanguard box set

Would you say it's still worth it despite the HQ not being good? There's also a bunch of cave squigs.

Looking at the sprue, it wouldn’t be too hard to convert the hero into a regular Loonboss. Just leave off the skull headdress, maybe replace his bare head with the big hat champion head from the squig hoppers kit (which you wouldn’t be using if you make the boingrot bounders).

I mean its just one dude and his rules will likely change over time. JUst relegate him to display shelf for time being and use everything else in that box

Running sub optimal stuff is perfectly fine unless you are going to a tournament and taking it seriously, or just have a toxic rear end local meta. Like many games, just paint a variety of cool things and have a good time. It can be worth keeping an eye on the larger meta just to make sure you are not playing something abysmal but to start just build and paint some factions Vanguard box and go from there. 1k points is a fine place to start with AoS.

Also unless you're playing in strict circumstances you can just tell your opponent "this guy is just a shaman or boss or unit champ etc"

My opponent will be mostly playing Stormcast. What should I look out for and what works well against them? I think outnumbering them is probably good but I want to try to keep the model count low because I have plenty to paint as it stands. Mortal wounds and rend? Going for a squig focused list so I'll have access to rend and some mortal wounds.

I think outnumbering them is probably good but I want to try to keep the model count low because I have plenty to paint as it stands. Mortal wounds and rend? Going for a squig focused list so I'll have access to rend and some mortal wounds. Almost literally anything. SCE are weak to things with high rend and exceptionally weak to things that deal mortals, so you're on the right track. Take some cheap chaff to slow down any melee hammers you might come up against (if you can lock Fulminators into combat they're effectively neutered), plus something maneuverable to either stomp up to crossbows in a hurry or to counterplay deep strike shenanigans. After you break his favorite toy, go stand on the circles and play your tactics and you'll win every time.

Thank you! I want to try to get to 1000pts initially. So far I own: Loonboss on Giant Cave Squig - 130 Boingrot Bounderz - 150 Boingrot Bounderz - 150 Squig Herd - 140 Gobbapalooza - 170 That's 740 points. I'm looking for one more thing to buy. Preferably low model count but if something like Stabbas are going to make or break the list, I think I'm up for speed painting them. Adding Mangler Squigs gets me to exactly 1000 but maybe there's something better? I also want to get a Loonshrine but that'll come later. e: I just realized I forgot about my Underworld warbands: I also own Mollog's Mob but I'm guessing that's not a great fit, and Grinkrak's Looncourt which I also am not sure is going to synergize well
