MonsterEnvy posted:I want to see Chaos Dwarfs so bad. Apparently the original source of the leaks is very reliable, and previously leaked the FEC revamp and Kruleboyz, so I am hyped. Skaven and Chaos Dwarves in the same edition is going to decimate my wallet, though. If BoC get a revamp anytime soon I'm in real trouble.

Talas posted:Rumors going around Discord, seems like most of the legend factions in TOW are getting some kind of update for AoS. I would love for the chorfs to give us chaos hellcannons/equivalents for the Grand Alliance of Chaos. I was kinda shocked that AOS doesn't have the equivalent of that in the game. And i don't really like the look of the plagueclaw even if i can use them with Nurgle.

I actually really hope S2D get their Chaos Dragons back for TOW cross compatibility as well as the fact that Dragons are sick.

It would also make a great centrepiece as a mount that can actually be used, as their only previous Chaos Dragons were stand alone monsters and not mounts.

It's a shame kruleboyz have probably got exclusive rights to the idea of heavy arbalests and ballistas with big jagged spears; I think those would be very on brand for chaos warriors.

"Not being able to interact with an entire phase of them game" has always been an incredibly stupid disadvantage, and should be eliminated at the earliest opportunity Not that S2D should be able to field a full gun line build but one artillery piece that they had in WHFB is not gonna cause that.

There was also this thing: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2024/01/08/spearhead-stormcast-eternals-a-reforged-army-box-to-strike-down-sigmars-foes/ A) I hope this isn't replacing Vanguard boxes, 'cause it's probably going to cost about the same, and B) I really hope this isn't the target unit size for some Combat Patrol equivalent for 4th ed.

Also pretty sure that Vanguard is almost the same as Combat Patrol from what I understand?

It's a mix of Dominion sprue, so Yndrasta, Annihilator and Vexilors in some fashion, and the the Chariot and Vanquishers are from the stand alone boxes. Dominion had the incredibly similarly sounding Vindictor spearmen.

Man, if only Yndrasta was good for her cost in points. I've only used her once and never again... sadly, her model is so pretty.

A pity she's also sculpted onto her far too big base, and trying to remove her from it is a massive pain in the rear end.

She would be amazing if she had a big meaningful anchor ability that made you want to hold her until turn 2-3 then dive in and solve a problem. I used her a couple of times and yeah she just had no impact for the price outside of looking cool.

AoS Combat Patrol would be ok. The Vanguard boxes were such a step down from the Start Collecting ones that tying them to a discrete fixed format game mode would be an improvement.

I'm totally down for AOS Combat Patrol, I just hope this crappy box isn't what they're positioning for that purpose.Talas posted:Man, if only Yndrasta was good for her cost in points. I've only used her once and never again... sadly, her model is so pretty. Snip the tip off her spear, put a brick with a ribbon on it, and bam, instant better Celestant Prime. She needs a bigger base, but if you're good with making a hammer out of a spear, you're qualified to cut a circle out of plastic card.

The article says other factions are getting one, this is probably a full revamp of the Vanguard boxes, which will hopefully make more sense when things get rebalanced in six months.

Oh that is absolutely infuriating. I am thankful that I've managed to pick up a lot of the value boxes for my nurgle army, but this is going to suck for people new to AOS

I wish they would not do a new edition, and extend this one for another 3 years. I really dislike the rapid edition changes of games workshop. They finally get an edition where it should be then have to start all over. They should at least do a whole year between the last published army book. If they want to do products they can do the narrative stuff. Or have they been doing that with the named boxes I am forgetting?

Yeah I also dislike fast edition changes where you have to buy all new, expensive, poo poo every few years. Like, I get to play with my models a few times a year idk what the rest of y'all are doing. I buy a general handbook or whatever the AOS equivalent is to those mission packs and it's out of vogue in 2 months and "everyone" has moved onto the next one like, is everyone going to tournaments biweekly or something?? I'm lucky if there's a tournament in a four hour drive from me

If they want to do products they can do the narrative stuff. Or have they been doing that with the named boxes I am forgetting? Yup, agreed. It is by far my least favorite thing about Warhammer these days. Unfortunately a edition change makes them a lot of money, which is why there seems to be a mandate from the top to do them every 3 years now. Hopefully the new edition is a light touch like the 2->3 change was. There are some things that could be polished (battle tactics, monstrous rampages), but on the whole things are really good right now. I would absolutely hate to go to a Index like 40k just did. Although it was probably warranted in 40ks case and the change there has been on the whole positive, although there were a couple of really rough months as far as balance was concerned. I went to a tournament right after the launch of 10th with my Eldar and it was just absurd. The 3rd edition Battletomes are almost all really well written and fun to play, and have all gone through multiple balance passes at this point. It would be a crying shame to just dumpster all of them next summer in favor of less polished Indexes.

I'm lucky if there's a tournament in a four hour drive from me The General's Handbooks were previously on a 6 month cycle which was way too fast. They seem to have moved to a 12 month cycle which is better, but I feel like the recent one was just way too heavy handed. The changes were way too drastic. Getting a refresh on the missions every so often is nice, and maybe we could have a couple of special rules to shake things up, but the current magic season is just too heavy handed. Hoarfrost and Blizzard are just way too impactful. The vast majority of players are probably in your boat, where they play a handful of games every year, and a 6 month cycle on the GHBs means that for those players the ground just shifts drastically under their feet every couple of times they play. I also kind of wish that just playing the rulebook battlepack was more normalized with casual players. You don't need to play the latest GHB, and I find that the rulebook battlepack is probably by far the most fun one of the ones we've gotten.

I have wonderful news for you - I'm a lazy idiot, so anything I paint is easy to replicate. A) Start with an initial pale flesh basecoat, using your favorite brand - I switched back and forth between Vallejo and Scale75 basically at random during this process. B) Purple wash over the base coat. C) Put your base flesh, some light pale blue, and some purple on your palette for mixing. D) Run some purple into the tight corners of the skin, under the elbow, etc - anywhere with recesses and shadow. E) put a tiny dot of the pale blue as your highest highlight on the relevant spots F) mix your flesh into the highlight and shades to glaze them back out until you're satisfied. Skintones tend to be pretty transparent to begin with, so you shouldn't have to thin them down very much. I used the same purple across the model to shade, including the robes. Toss in some medium blue if you want that kinda bruised look as a middle tone - just sorta paint it on like with the purple, then glaze back over it to smooth the transitions. You can see this along the jacked up arm. If you keep mixing your highlights cold, you basically can't go wrong - the same icy blue was used to highlight the skin, the robes, the leather, even the breastplate.

The LVO reveals had some interesting stuff to show. https://www.warhammer-community.com/2024/01/19/lvo-preview-2024-nighthaunt-and-luminth-realm-lords-engage-in-elemental-battle/ First up there's Pyre and Flood for Warcry, featuring a new Lumineth and Nighthaunt warband. Then there's the announcement of Dawnbringers: Book V – Shadow of the Crone, alongside the model of Krethusa the Croneseer.  Kind of interested where they're going with bringing back Morai-Heg and how much that is going to trip up things for Morathi in the long run. About the new Dawnbringers book: quote:This book covers the Croneseer’s Pariahs, an Army of Renown for worshippers of Morai-Heg, and another for the protectors of Hammerhal, as well as the fourth part of the Twin-Tailed Crusade Path to Glory pack. There are rules for Stronghold Assault, a new Matched Play battlepack that pits teams of four players in a clash between competing redoubts. https://www.warhammer-community.com/2024/01/19/lvo-preview-2024-callis-and-toll-lead-the-saviours-of-cinderfall/ Then two older AoS characters are making their return with models for Callis and Toll. Alongside some friends. And a cat. https://www.warhammer-community.com/2024/01/19/lvo-preview-2024-zondaras-gravebreakers-bring-love-to-the-deathgorge/ Laslyt there's a new Undead team for Underworlds.

This got seeded back in the battle tome, so I’m real glad we are moving along the plot of Morathi losing control over the Daughters.
