New year, new models! I just finished a unit of Pistoliers, who will hopefully give my army some mobility. These guys are my favorite horses GW's sculpted:





I also added to my previous block of 20 spears with 10 more:





Great looking duders!


Also aside from Nurgle, which I am ALL in for. My wallet is sad over that. I would like to finally see some new elves!

If this means we get hordes of Chaos barbarians/barbariennes(?) I'd be all over that Conan poo poo.

Thanks! I needed something resembling mobility in this army after Knights of Order proved useless game after game, and my blocks of handgunners were the only ones doing anything.

What are the odds of GW ever bringing back Vampires in a big bad way?

I really miss the days of summoning bat swarms, monstrous vampires and skeleton hordes.

If it's going to happen, it'll be soon - this malign portents thing is the best opportunity.

poo poo I have hosed up. My Mannfred's sickle is facing too much in wards so he does not go on his mount. Freezing and placing a glue dissolver on the arm did not work.

Wonder if GW would be willing to send me another Mannfred. Should I try?

GW customer service is great when it's something they hosed up. They are unlikely to replace even the arm if you hosed it up, let alone send you an entire rider (I don't even know if he's his own sprue in the kit.)

You're probably doing some surgery.

Dry fit your models in the future.

Take a picture and post it so we can see what you're working with. Maybe someone can offer some advice on where to cut/how to angle it.

Though I do have something they did gently caress up that now that I am thinking of it, I should contact them about. (Some screamers of Tzeentch that are missing the part their bases plug into.)

Despite what people say about plastic glue 'fusing' parts together, it's actually quite rare that this fusion is complete (and hence unbreakable). Usually only a small contact area on the edge of the mating surface joins unless you were meticulous about sanding the parts down to fit - if you managed to misalign the part and are asking for help here, then I doubt you've reached that degree of groggy modelling.

Very gently grab arm where it joins the body and see if you can pry it apart. If you do this slowly and watch the part you can do this safely without it snapping (the plastic goes white from the stress first). If it gives, good, otherwise you're probably stuck with trying to chop the arm off.

Alternatively you can also chop the arm at the wrist and reposition the staff there.

I used Super Glue not Plastic Glue I think. (It says super on the bottle.)

The biggest issue there is that it's hard to find a point on Mannfred to grab. (And just as I attempt to do this the staff broke.)

Age of Sigmar really is best thought of as 70s heavy metal album cover fantasy. Much begins to make sense when thought of like that.

True

I will say though that I do hope that a decent writer sits down turns AoS into something more than just a vehicle for Sigmarines and legacy WHFB stuff. It has potential but currently lacks a sense of scale, stakes or corners of the universe that exist outside of the "Sigmar vs Chaos" dichotomy.

Luckily they've been expanding the setting with Kharadron Overlords and the subtle implications that Nagash is turning into the Norse goddess Hel creating another point of conflict besides "gold dude vs spiky dude"

I’m annoyingly hyped for the reveal tomorrow. They seem to have done a good job of keeping things under wraps. Am working on my Disciples of Tzeentch army and reading Sword and Hammer porn AoS stories. Jonesing for another game. Possibly prefer it to 40K even - formations and inter unit interplay is more interesting than flat AoE buffs. Also destiny dice rock.

Anyway we are now 9 hours away from finding out what Malign Portents is.

Is it Age of Sigmar 2e with rules compatible with their current stuff.
Is it a new and expanded Death Range.
Is it a new Campaign (Well yes this one is obvious.)
Is it the four new heroes and nothing else.
Is it the return of the Old World to the setting.
Is it Ghost Pirates.

Who knows. But I am curious.

I'm not a fan of AoS but I'm glad they've finally explained the Mortal Realms, cuz until now it was so vague it made it difficult for me to even have any passing interest in the setting, but giant-rear end flat planets connected by webways teleporters? That's pretty ok
