It's hard to compare them because all the factions are mashed up and the lines between armies are super fuzzy. The newer armies tend to get more love because GW likes money so they generally get more options for mortal wounds/formations of deepstrike and movement tricks. Ogres are big and hit hard and are multiwound. This makes them harder to knock down for battleshock, but if they do fail battleshock tests they really feel it (since battleshock is purely based on model count). Lizardmen have good bravery but are pretty average all around, with the saurus warriors themselves being fairly weak unless you mass them up. But why do that when you have other options available that can dish it out? EDIT: Old fantasy was about working with your blocks of infantry and trying to foil your enemies plans. AoS is more about... dumping as many buff on models since they took out half the stats (S, T, I, Ws) that made armies different. LordAba fucked around with this message at 00:30 on Mar 1, 2017 |

mango sentinel posted:Adepticon has a pretty concrete idea of the demand for different games, and we do not. GW money will likely tip the scales of triage at the edges but I doubt they're effectively cancelling 9th Age so GW can have empty tables with Sigmar banners dangling from them. I'm protesting by not playing any of their games. In fact, I'm playing Aetherium! Everyone should join me on Saturday.

Texmo posted:It's incorrect to imply that, since rolling D6x2 could be represented by a D12 or whatever, a D6 based system is a Flawed Design. Dude, 2D6 is SUCH not the same thing as a D12. Dude. Just dude. MasterSlowPoke posted:I quite like Wrath of Kings. It's kind of a Warmahordes/Guild Ball-lite style game. It's D10 based, and pretty quick and fun. The art direction leaves a bit to be desired with some of the female models, though I play Hadross (fish people) and avoid most of that mess. It's a pretty darn great game. Though I mostly play Goritsi for the same issues you have.

Kung Fu Fist gently caress posted:witch elves/sisters of slaughter are a more recent dual kit that also happened to be an elite unit for dark elves pre-aos tho? and youre getting double the models compared to the medusas and harpies. a better comparison would be the warlocks, a 5 cav box for 35, compared to 5 snake women for 50 "Elite" infantry that was able to be taken as basic troops, that were still fragile so you practically needed to take them in units of 15-20, and I believe they could be taken as troops with the right HQ? Granted they were obscene when they came out, and still kinda obscene now. Though who could forget the blood knight vampires that are 5 for 100.

I believe someone else made the "Guillermo del Toro" reference, but I second it. Look good! EDIT: Though I dunno about stabbing books. I've just been reading them. Maybe I'm wrong.

moths posted:I'm so glad that poo poo does not fly here. Weren't the other Mortarch's on giant skeleton monsters? I'm guessing Mortarch is just a title for their elite generals. Haven't looked at the undead fluff in a while (at least not since the end times).

on the fluff, and can't help but think this stuff should be part of a goddamn fantastic Von Carstein army.

MonsterEnvy posted:Actully other then Arkhan is is considered First amoung them, the Mortarchs are all supposed to be equal in rank. (Vlad was a member as well lets not forget and was not a puppet or enthralled.) I'll have to check if Vlad's wife is still duel faction with Nurgle. That was an... interest part of the end times, even if it did come out of nowhere (like much of endtimes).
