I've been using the bare heads from the Deathwatch kit alongside a mix of Statuesque's lady heads for my Stormcast. There's a tiny bionic bit over the ear of the Deathwatch guys, but that's easily cut away and sculpted over. Makes them look so much less homogenious.Kung Fu Fist gently caress posted:thats pretty absurd if youve already bought a bunch of overpriced gw crap and decided to use third party bits to make them look less dumb that it would disqualify you from playing in a gw tourney Official line is still about 75% of the model has to be Citadel in GW events, so a headswap or pre-sculpted base is fine.

Booyah- posted:Is there anything in the rumor mill about undead and specifically skeletons and tomb kings? Nothing so far. The rumour engine thing on Warham Community the other week was a tombstone, though that could be anything in Warhams. Lore-wise, Nagash is hiding at home after striking a deal with Archaon to backstab Sigmar (again) while Neferata's doing all the busy work of keeping the Realm of Death from being completely over-run with Chaos Warbands and Flesh Eaters. Stab in the dark, we could see a expanded Vampire faction with Neferata (And Manfred, maybe, if he can keep his betrayal boner in his pants) as head honcho.

They're definitely an interesting faction. I've only played against them a few times, but their replenishment abilities their heroes throw out make them surprisingly resilient. Their lore seems pretty neat as well.

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.

New shots of that Shadespire thing. Looks like an expanded version of Gorechosen. https://www.facebook.com/warhammerunderworlds/videos/1282403365171824/ 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.

Stormcast already have majestically sculpted titties on their armour though  Agreed it's less egregious, but still, a headswap or something would've been much less work surely.

Thing that always hamstrung the Skele kits (and let's face it, a lot of the Fantasy kits in general) was their need to be able to rank up. Daemonettes are a prime example of this, their poses look so awkward as if the sculpter got half way through and went "poo poo, they don't rank up".Mr.Booger posted:Hmm, knew they were going to be shooty as basically every model has a gun, but is it weird if I think they might be too shooty? Not seeing alot of melee anything really. Maybe more will come out when the flying ball guys drop, but I think they use alot of the same weapons, so hard to see them being too much different. The self repairing ships and repairing dudes is a nice touch, but worried the games vs armies like choas might not be that engaging, as you just float around and shoot them.... I wasn't quite expecting AoS to get a Tau-esque shooty-manueverable army, I especially wasn't expecting it to be Dorfs of all factions to get said archetype. Reading the latest battle report in WD has soothed my balance concerns however, pinning them down with quick/expendable units so your hard hitters can catch up seems to be the best strat with dealing with them.

Hidingo Kojimba posted:So, two friends of mine are getting back into Age of Sigmar as something to do on weekends and once summer comes around I'll have some free time so I figure I'll join in. They're going for Stormcast Eternals and Chaos as they're basically planning to buy the bigass box set and build out from there. Ghoul King generals and your Courtier heroes are the lynchpin of a Flesh Eater's army, even more-so than Vamps were back in Fantasy. Your troops will crumble fast without a hero nearby to buff and support them. Best way to take a Ghoul King is on a mount, as sticking one on a Zombie Dragon or a Terrorgeist improves both units immensely. I prefer the Zombie Dragon mount, as it gives your King a bubble of re-rolls and lets you summon Courtiers (which in turn summon more units). Courtiers are cheap beatstick heroes with extra summoning abilities. You'll want at least one Vargulf as they blend most things in combat and can summon any infantry option Flesh Eaters can take. Haunters are best after that, as they're proper killy and can summon your best infantry. Ghasts are pitiful, but cheap and they summon more Ghouls to keep enemy units locked in place for cheap. Infernals are meh, just like their corresponding unit. Crypt Horrors are the boyos and you want as many of them as you can handle alongside some Ghouls as tar-pits. Flayers aren't particularly good, but they can lend your army some maneuverability. As said before, put the points into sticking a Ghoul King on top of a Terrorgeist or Dragon, they're incredibly better with him there. Terrorgeists less so, but they're practically required for Dragons. The SC box is really good for Flesh Eaters, but you'll want to get two if you can. It'll give you enough stuff for around 1500pts, which is the sweet-spot for AoS I find.

Flesh-Eaters got updated before the General's Handbook and the newer design ethos behind Age of Sigmar started, so they don't have bonuses for running pure Flesh-Eater armies at the moment. You've nothing really to lose by chucking in a Mortis Engine or a Necromancer (or Nagash if you want to lose all your friends).

Munchables posted:Howdy, I figured I'd ask this here. I'm using some Stormcasts for 40k, and I grabbed the Storm of Sigmar box because it was cheap for the amount of minis in it. However, I was wondering if there's a way to go about putting the Stormcast upgrade bits on the snapfit models. Any tips or links would be appreciated. You can, but it's gonna take a lot of heavy cutting and filing. Not worth the effort imo.

That's a good ratte right there. I'd maybe give the warpstone one last highlight at the tips to make it look a little sharper, but it looks pretty clean and crisp all around.

WarhammerTV's showing off a pair of linked AoS Skirmish games on Twitch right now. Some snippets I caught: -Skirmish is more akin to Kill Team than Shadow War, more of a side mode than a full game in itself. Uses the same Warscrolls main AoS uses. -Book is super cheap, £6 for the rules. -Book comes with a list of points for every available unit. Base starting Warband is around 50 Renown points. -No Behemoths, only units that have Plastic Kits are represented. -Six scenarios in the book, super objective based. -Warbands are persistent in campaigns ala Mordheim, Necromunda etc. No levelling up and units can't permanently die, but you do win points to spent on new dudes and gear/relics. -Storywise game takes place in the ruins of Shadespire, apparently takes place after the events of the upcoming game Shadespire.

It's amazing just how much better AoS is when you're playing any battle plan other than the bog-standard deathmatch, it's not even funny how much of an improvement it makes.

Pawl posted:Do some people really play without battleplans? Oh god, do they ever. It kills me inside when I see regulars to my store play dull rear end deathmatch games of AoS or 40k and then bitch about how bland the game was... but then when you suggest they play a different scenario or battleplan they balk at the very idea. C'mon my dudes, you're actively making either game worse for yourself.

The guys that are doing the new edition of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay are also doing a Age of Sigmar Roleplay game. http://cubicle7.co.uk/warhammer-age-of-sigmar-roleplaying-game-announced/ Apparently they're going to be completely different systems? Rather curious to see how it turns out, and if it'll solidify some of the Sigmar lore like it desperately needs.

berzerkmonkey posted:I read the Flesh -Eater Courts and am currently reading the Ironjawz Battletomes, and, I have to say they are not bad. I'm still lost as far as the actual setting goes, and think it very poorly defined, but GW is doing a good job with the fluff of the inhabitants. I'm cool with the Ghouls thinking they are some sort of royalty (I don't see them as strictly Bretonnians, like some people do, but whatever,) and I'm finding the Orruk (ugh) stuff funny and very Orc/Ork like: The Khradron and Sylvaneth books are great for the same reason. Say what you will for the wider setting but the individual factions are full of character, cutting ties from the admittably more tradtional fantasy trappings has let the studio go crazy with concepts that probably would have clashed with WHFB.
