Do 40k rules actually require your Blood Angels to be painted red if you want to use their rules?

No, you just need to declare that you're using whatever chapter tactics you're using before the game and have a legal army if it has any restrictions.

I love it. GW incentivizes buying their insanely priced gold paint by giving units bonuses for being painted with more gold

I like that the dwarf ballooners have lead balloons - that they're deliberately something that feels so heavy and ponderous. But I wish they'd leaned into it, and made that airship's balloons a giant anvil.

I like the basic troops and think they'd make a good Frostgrave or Mordheim style force. They also look like they'd paint up nice.

Yeah I can't say I am a huge fan of the big armored guys. I like the big flying boats, although I want to see them in person first.

But that unit of pirate dwarfs, oh yes I am all over that for modeling purposes!

Are the Bloodbound guys any good? I was thinking about buying one of those cheap "babby's first model" kits to paint up for fun (and to potentially use for an rpg mini) and wanted to know what I was in for if I woke up one day with an army.

They are pretty good, they get a new book this month which will almost certainly increase their power or utility at least

Not at all really, and probably won't be. They new focus seems to be models with a particular flavor instead of undivided. They can devote themselves to any god though and gain all the appropriate buffs though so they work to fill out armies.

I'm going to jump in to the deep end and say that I like Age of Sigmar quite a lot. A big part of this likely comes from the fact that I don't play competitive as I don't find it fun and just play games at my local store for fun. I know that at my local store we now have a lot of Age of Sigmar players when back in the old WHFB days we only had a small select few playing with their usually over powered lists while us casuals were driven out. That's not to say AoS doesn't have problems as it does but in my opinion it is still more fun than WHFB.

Nothing wrong with enjoying a game. It's just a shame the people in your club went from WHFB to AoS and not to KoW. Better games are better for casual gaming.

It isn't a club unfortunately, we play at the local GW thus why we play GW games, there is a gaming club nearby but until recently work patterns and such meant I couldn't go so my only choice for war gaming was GW. Even then the games that I know people play are either GW ones, Malifaux and Warmachine plus a few others now and then.

Do we have a KoW thread as I hear it a lot but don't know anything about it.

You realized you closed it during honest discussion of game mechanics and right after someone went to the trouble of posting a battle report right? Like there were probably other times the thread was "worth" closing by your criteria, but at that moment it was super bizarre. Also you don't have to close the thread just because you're the OP. The thread could go on indefinitely without your participating if you weren't happy with it.

Also jfc I'm glad they pulled the trigger on finally doing a lady Stormcast, but were the slimmed down armour and tit-bump really necessary.
