Does anyone know anything about this ghost army coming out? I realized painting 120 gobbos is why I stopped painting my dwarves in the first place

Idk if someone answered but is there an ETA on the spoopy ghost book? I'm going down to the GW to try a demo game and I like the idea of spookin people

I think I found a paint scheme I like, i saw this but I have no idea what paints these are. Any ideas? Edit: I figure the whispy stuff is that new tech paint and the skin (??) is the new hexflame thing, mostly looking at that dark rear end blue gray color for the hood Business Gorillas fucked around with this message at 15:08 on Jul 5, 2018 |

Played my first game of AoS a couple days ago. I made a comment that the whole "piling in" concept seems like it would be a big pain in the dick when it comes to tournament play. Some guy not involved in the conversation shouted across the room that if I don't like it, I shouldn't play in tournaments. Doesn't seem like good game design to have a core part of the game that breaks when the smallest amount of pressure is applied to it

berzerkmonkey posted:Technically, no GW game is good for, or even made for, a tournament environment. So, even though he was being a smartass, he's correct. Just play AoS or 40K for fun - tournaments are the bane of fun gaming anyway. I mean that's fine, my first impression of AoS was that the game seems to have a veneer of "if you actually play the rules as written the game breaks immediately", which doesn't seem like decent game design Edit: see: the goblin dude up top dealing 64 wounds per goblin connecting with a stick

berzerkmonkey posted:Again, you're equating GW with decent game design! I'm not saying that GW's games aren't fun, but they are certainly not well written, and are ripe for exploitation (as with the goblin example.) I think it's pretty reasonable to expect decent game design considering the amount of buy in GW expects for its game. Edit: like yeah the game is quick and can be "fun" (even though fun is totally subjective), but it's still a bad game

So I ditched the spookies after seeing the base infantry are $4 per model and I picked up the beastclaw whatevers instead because fat mongols own Is there any sort of strategy with them beyond "get the charge"?

The Deleter posted:Not really. Stonehorns are more durable than Thundertusks in general, so if you want beatsticks stick with them. Don't forget to get a Butcher or two - there's no wizards in Beastclaws natively and Butchers have an insane spell that can poo poo mortal wounds onto a single unit. You'll also want them for access to endless spells. i lose the access to beastclaw artifacts and the allegiance abilities if i get a butcher, correct? edit: i also lose the ability for all of my stuff to be battleline if i'm looking at this warscroll builder correctly Business Gorillas fucked around with this message at 03:46 on Aug 5, 2018 |

I think the AoS lore being bad is worth talking about considering the designers of the game actively encourage you to create your own stories in their world If the lore sucks and has no good guys, how the hell are people supposed to relate to it and forge their narratives?

Wizard posted:Speaking of old factions did they ever explain why they took the Tomb Kings out behind the shed? I know they still have rules but I recently got back in and last time i was playing they were still a full faction After they got told to gently caress off wrt trademarking "man in space armor", I imagine they figured that trying to trademark Ancient Egypt was a little too ambitious

What's the general read on the flesh eaters? Are they a good army? Currently play beastclaw and I'm looking for something that can actually compete in the objective game. Was thinking about playing ghoul patrol since summoning + buffing gribblies + ambush shenanigans is what I wanna get out of my army

Yeah my 1500pt list was something like Ghoul king on zombie Dragon Crypt ghast 20 ghouls 20 ghouls 10 ghouls 6 crypt horrors Ghoul patrol Use the majestic horror thing to poo poo out a pair of varghulfs and go from there

The Deleter posted:The Lord-Castellant's warding lantern adds 1 to the save rolls of any unit he puts it on, and causes rolls that total 7 or more to heal a wound. It's really, really easy to combine this with the Staunch Defender command trait and Azyrite Halo and get 2+ rerolling saves that heal on 5s and deal mortal wounds on sixes. You stick that on a blob of Sequitors and you get a murderous brick wall that can only be removed with heavy amounts of rend or mortal wound cascades like Curse of Years or Foot of Gork. You then proceed to lose friends and alienate people. lol

quick q: how does flesh eater healing work with ghoul patrol? if i add 6 models to a 10-man unit, can i use the crypt ghast/varghulf ability to heal back those additional 6, or can i only heal ghouls if the unit goes below 10 models?

Quick question regarding Flesh Eaters: So when I cast Unholy Vitality and get it off, do I effectively have 3 saves on a unit? (armor + deathless + vitality), or does it just make the deathless save better? i've been playing the latter but reading online it looks like the former is true. if the former is true, could someone link something about it explaining it? that seems a little bananas

Macdeo Lurjtux posted:I’m not really sure secret sabotage tracks, all the silly rules in the data sheets was stuff they’d have their Rogue Traders walking around asking people to do at the ‘for fun’ side events at Games Day and other events for both Fantasy and 40K. I think it was just a bad attempt at bringing that level of engagement to friendly games.

Plavski posted:Free Guild are supported and get new and improved rules in the Generals Handbook each year. They just aren't producing new models for them right now, but there could be loads in the future - we don't know. GW have a wide range of products - constantly adding new ones too - and so every faction can't get the miniature love it deserves. They keep on top of the rules though, and even made Bretonnia part of AoS again by canonically confirming they are have become flesh eater courts now. So a free guild army is viable, but holding out for new sculpts might leave you holding out for longer than you'd like. But absolutely nothing is stopping you from buying free guild and a pack of round bases and having at it. just want to point out that this isn't really a consolation to the people that actually have bretonnian models edit: also very minor nitpick but the whole FEC = Brets thing is dumb as hell because its all tongue and cheek with "oooo they're actually part of a looost civilization!!!", but lorewise it's been tens of thousands of years or whatever the whole "deranged remnants of a lost civilization" is a cool idea, but doesn't many any sense in the realmgate lore or whatever they're trying to push with AOS PS: i black out whenever i think about the end times but i'm pretty sure the brets got wiped out before the warhammer world exploded, so good luck having a forgotten civilization of people that canonically stopped existing before sigmar woke up from his coma floating through space, i guess Business Gorillas fucked around with this message at 03:24 on Feb 24, 2019 |

The Deleter posted:The double turn is important but not as deciding as you think. Yeah, it's good to have that uninterrupted stretch of fighting, but you also need to consider certain abilities, your positioning, whether there's predatory Endless Spells around, and all sorts. The average joe playing Ironjawz will love a double turn. Someone fighting an Idoneth player might concede that first turn if the Idoneth player is on High Tide and will fight first anyway, so why not let them make a positioning mistake with those eels instead? Someone with a Purple Sun on the field will go second every time to make sure they can do donuts over the opposing army and get the mortal wounds in. tbh this is a pretty good post in defense of the double turn, considering it says "it isn't a snap decision, you need to make complex tactical decisions". most posts in defense of the double turn just say this and don't actually explain what the tactical decisions are, but you've at least given an explanation of "hope your opponent who double turned you fucks up positioning and doesn't blow a big enough hole in your army that said fuckup doesn't matter". it'd be one thing if there was a sizable disadvantage to taking a double turn, but the only downside is... you might get double turned yourself (which won't matter if you eat enough of your opponent's forces in your first double turn, i might add). don't forget that since you went first that round, you get to break ties on the roll!

Desiden posted:I'm guessing the +20 points to the terrorgeist ghoul king is not going to stop the grousing in my club about that unit. The +40 to the archregent might soothe some butthurt, though 480 for 2 is still pretty good. Tbf the archregent being 200 points meant that if you took the 20 ghoul summon, you'd have him for free
