The horns make me thing Nurgle, but the body doesn't seem rotund enough. the body and limbs look dwarf-shaped.

What are the good AoS books, anyways (dead tree form ones)?

Spear of Shadows is really good, as is basically anything by Josh Reynalds as the dude just gets how to make AoS compelling. City of Secrets is a good short read as well.

I hope that book doesn't write out Epidemius like I feel it will.

But on the other hand, I am ready for more nurgle love. Just gonna use my Exalted as a proxy for big boy at first I think, too much stuff to buy and I am a poor student

Based on the latest Malign Portents video, if we're lucky, pirate skeletons with flying ghost ships would be right on point.


Please tell me this happens. I’ve been trying to get into AoS and have the death Start Collecting box, but damnit if I can have ghost pirates and the Flying Dutchman I’d be so happy. :allears:

Got caught looking at Sylvaneth stuff while trying to convince myself not to succumb to AoS, but got gifted a box of Tree-Revenants anyways.

Not sure how I wanna build them or where I wanna go next, but i really like the Sylvaneth Aesthetic.

I just dug up my old 40k models and have a bunch of Daemons I am hoping to use for Age of Sigmar. I have 20 or so Pink Hororrs, 10 Bloodletters, an Ogroid Thaumaturge 3 Flamers and 3 Screamers. and a Tzeentch Herald on Disc. How close am I to getting something playable? Daemons seems to be split up into Warscrolls now am I gonna have to buy more horrors?

the warscroll for pink horrors doesn't mention anything rules wise about pink horrors splitting into blue horrors is that just a fluff thing now?

It's on the warscroll for Blue Horrors, and the rules for splitting blues is on the Brimstone scroll.

Last one is a new special character called Rotigus. I guess he's a replacement for Kugath who will be getting removed from the rules at some point.

They are awful sadly, and also not battleline.

I'd likely find a use for 3 if they were battleline

All of them.

Mannfred looks coolest.
Also probably synergizes best with the rest of the box?

I plan to get all of them eventually. Mainly just wondering who to start with.

For those somehow unfamiliar these are all three.

Neferata

Mannfred

Arkhan the Black

To elaborate, Arkhan synergizes with having other Death Wizards. Neferata has an aura which reduces enemy hit rolls by 1 and she can also vampirize enemy heroes into Vampire Lords (models you don't have.) Mannfred has an aura to reroll 1s on hit and wound for all your skeleton buddies.

Yeah so Mannfred would be best for now as I don't have any other Death Wizards.

Correction: My girlfriend got me Tree-Revenants AND a box of Dryads after watching me oggle them online and stare wistfully while at the LGS, anyone got good recommendations for tutorial videos or Sylvaneth strategy type stuff? I'll have time to watch quite a bit while putting these together and figuring out what I'll wanna get next (Spirit of Durthu and Kurnoth Hunters look sweet.)

He doesn't beat out Mannfred riding Bahamut from Final Fantasy.

Though since the wizard is the identifiable part nothing to stop you from putting Arkhan on Bahamut.

And from I remember from the kit the riders are pretty interchangeable. Build the dragon how you like and just swap the wizards out as needed.
