Genghis Cohen posted:Yeah, absolutely. Like every other chaos player, I have the underworld set, Khagra's Ravagers, not for their janky mini-unit AoS incarnation, but as a Sorcerer and 3 aspiring/exalted champions or potentially even Chaos Lords. I just bought a second set of them the other day for exactly this reason. I already have them for shadespire, but I needed another wizard for my army and figured what the hell. Khagra herself is an easy character model and the two mooks will wind up as conversion fodder or unit champions or something. I just have to get them onto square bases.

New warcry box or Underworlds. Seems unlikely timing for AoS main for anything but the Stormcast/Skaven in the new edition.

GW likes sticking their little pets in Warcry in particular, so why not throw in a weird cyclopean bone-tigers with the Ossiarch warband. With that said, the last few Warcry releases have been more obviously intended to fill holes in regular AoS so could be a hint there. Some sort of Ossiarch scout/skirmisher unit seems like the clearest gap? There was that one bone archer dude in WHU, maybe they could expand him out.

Winklebottom posted:now I'm trying to imagine an OBR war elephant They’re crying out for something like that, something big and lumbering with a howdah/ballista on top would really fit their ancient vibes. Also not something you see in other Death armies tbh. RE: the Blanche art, what’s almost surprising is how 1:1 some of the AoS minis are from the sketches. The Darkoath guy, the kharadron, Skaggrot.

So what do people think Sigmar lied about? The two theories I've heard is either that Azyr isn't as safe as claimed and there's about to be a massive Skaven/Chaos invasion of it or that there is no such thing as a "cure" for The Flaw in Reforging and that the Stormcast can only degenerate further and further with each death.

I’m not a AoS expert at all, so what is the furthest a storm cast has gone due to reforging. Eventually just a silent killing machine for Sigmar?

I think it is both. I think the Skaven have figured out how to breach into Azyr and every other place and have decided to do so en masse. Also, Stormcast are degrading and may have been lied to about a great number of things. My buddy is convinced this will lead to more weirdo, "Empty" Stormcast like the Death Company for Blood Angels but who knows. Skaven may have also figured out a weapon that can destroy souls and that worries the powers that be. All in all, I'm pretty excited for all the rumors of new Skaven even if my wallet trembles.

I’m looking to start painting my SBGL, new to AoS. Can someone point me toward a reasonable starting 2000 point list I can use to prioritize my painting? I have: Soulblight Gravelords 30x skeletons 50x zombies 10x Blood Knights 1x Vengorian Lord/Lauka Vai 6x corpse rats 6x bat swarms 3x fell bats 10x dire wolves Vargskyr 3x Vyrkos Blood-born 2x Kosargi Nightguard Radukar the Wolf Torgillius the Chamberlain Watch Captain Halgrim Gorslav the Gravekeeper Cado Ezechiar Karlina von Carstein Sekhar, Fang of Nulahmia Crimson Court Exiled Dead Sepulchral Guard Open to buying more if it makes sense. Local shop still has Vengorian Court Battleforce in stock as well.

Archaon lost a lot when he went from WHFB to AoS. He suffered for going from a hateful nihilist former knight who has managed to pull together a horde for the End Times to just another god who commands all chaos by right. Moreover the mini was a real step down. 6th ed WHFB Archaon was an all time classic while AoS Archaon has aged worse than most other 1st ed AoS sculpts. Really chunky, angular and WoW-ish.

He's just a little dude perched on top of a giant monster. I don't really like how GW feels that they have to stick these hugely powerful lore-centric demigods on monsters because they don't seem to be comfortable with a human-sized model being extremely powerful. Even Teclis, a literal god of magic, had to be saddled with some kind of giant monster to turn him into a centerpiece model. Just let Archaon be on foot and slap hard. Let him be like 500 points of murder hopped up on god-juice even if the size of the model isn't in proportion to it's point cost.

I don't necessarily mind the Archaon model but the lack of a Slaanesh head bothers me. Also Be'lakor is the superior centerpiece model

Between that and the abandoned Ynnari plot in 40k it seems like there was some behind the scenes thing going on with Slaanesh that no one has ever fully explained, luckily they seem to have managed to turn a potential squatting into a fun storyline.

That’s the thing, he’s actually huge! Like big enough that folks have converted him on foot using Abaddon’s legs, and he’s already nearly primarch-big. But you’re right, he’s barely the secondary focus of the overall mini compared to the three brightly coloured monster heads.
