I feel like most of the ranges are perfectly fine but I only play little games of Sigmar. I've been playing fish elves with some trees for bulk. Idoneth could use more models, but they're also a brand new faction so I'm ok with the current options because they're all either good or great and the models own.

Is there a decent mounted knights way to play AOS? I have some fish elves but I'd like to paint some cavalry and potentially use them in small games. Would go down the path of Vampires if they can do it because I love me some vampires. Could also stomach Chaos.

I've actually got some metal Blood Knights and a Dragon Knight converted to a mounted VC Lord in a box (dragon prince with some mutilated metal vc bling). Maybe I'll dig them out and try to make a list. I've got a Mortarch kit sitting around gathering dust too because I got distracted by turtle battle platform.

The chaos knights look rad but I've already got a few models for vampires and it might work out. Huge bonus if the army is good.

It isn’t like, auto top 3 at tournaments, but I’ve seen a few different people play it and do well enough. I think some of the lists included Neferata, Vhordrai, 3x5 blood knights and some objective holding fodder like zombies or skeletons

Yeah, by good I mean "isn't bad" more than is super competitive or anything. I don't tend to worry a lot about tournament play or the meta but it sucks playing garbage.

Man a Khorne starter box and a box of chaos knights is a pretty tempting start to a cav force. Not classy like a vampire or order knight, but these models are pretty cool plus I've never played skull edgelords in 25 years of gw slavery.

E: oh yeah and also more skullcrushers and a mounted lord :/

I've got total army paralysis for aos. I wanted a cav army (weird cav) so I've been thinking about Khorne crusher army or an elite Akhelian Corps army because I like the sea and I have an Akhelian King already. Now I'm looking at Sylvaneth because GW keep advertising the poo poo at me and I'm like "maybe they'll get more models soon and the faction will be fleshed out more".

E: gently caress it I'm just going to get two boxes of eels and a turtle this week, that's an army.

The stormcast vanguard-pallador cavalry models are incredibly beautiful.



Those poses are super dynamic and expressive.

Those are good models but I don't really like stormcast as a faction. I really like Deepkin on every level so I should just stick with that. An army with palladors and a stardrake would be sweet to look at though.

I hope in the coming years that Idoneth get a seahorse mounted unit of questing knights.

Squig herd! Although if you want to make that a serious suggestion it looks like Looncurse would be a good place to start.

I thought about it (I like goblins a lot), but I don't really love the idea of painting a heap of tooth balls or potentially a horde. I like the Nautilar backstory and colour palette as well. Also if I want to double turtle my Akhelian Corps one day, I can double turtle them hard :getin:

E: welp I bought six eels and a shark, I don't know if the shark is good but I like it. I'm going to do a hunk of Nautilar that broke off and settled in a ship's graveyard but I don't know if I want it spooky or super colourful. So many hard choices.

What's a good colour mix for bleached coral. My Idoneth are getting a sad barrier Reef theme :australia:

Do you reckon GW gets frustrated that their "starter boxes" just get picked up by people already in the hobby on day one and then chopped down and sold to other people that are already in the hobby? I guess the basic ones are always available but Looncurse going immediately seems to defeat the point of it existing. Or is it just to get people started in another army, idk.

I know that feeling. I've almost totally lost interest in 40k but AoS is really motivating me. Seems more fun spirited? Somehow? :shrug:

I like that AoS has a big focus on flavour and cute little details for each unit. For instance the Idoneth tides of death rule is extremely fun and nothing like it (to my knowledge) exists in 40k.

AoS feels more like playing an RPG in a world of magic than a straight up wargame sometimes, I really like that aspect of it.

The 40 minutes i've had a chance to play so far this morning are extremely positive. I'm a diehard fan of action RPGs. Two of my favorite games in the genre are Path of Exile, and Diablo III. Chaosbane leans more heavily towards Diablo III. The combat is smooth, responsive, and at least in the early game upgrades and loot come really fast.

They seem to be trying to take one thing and going to 11 with it for themes for armies. Fyreslayers are just Old World Slayers the army. Khadoran are engineers, just every single one.

Sigmarites are all golden armor bodies, Ironjawz are all just orks of varying levels of armor. Beast Claw raiders either ride beasts or command them but had no real basic foot troops.

The new Goblins have goblins, squigs, and varying levels of trolls, a huge vareity visually and thematically in one book. This is a big diff compared to the previous and even adding in old options like the hope is with beast claws and old ogores is a better route, at least to me.

On this note, how does using allies work? Is it worth it like in 40k? I've only had a brief look at the system and I'm not sure how you do it.

a friend finally pushed me over the edge to getting some warmans-- i always liked the chaos marauder theme, so slaves to darkness it is.

problem is i don't like 50% of the models in the start collecting! (dont like the chariots, dont like the sorceror)

should i just buy separate units and forgo the "discount" of a starter bundle?

It's going to cost a bit more than a starter, but the Godsworn Warband contains great chaos miniatures.

E: you might not like the gorebeast (I think it's cooler than the regular chariots tbh) but you could just sell it if you don't want it.

I’m thinking about getting into AoS now that it looks decent and the sting of killing Fantasy has worn off but there are actually too many factions to choose from. The nu-greenskins, especially the gobbos, look great, all the spooky spooks look great, all the non-Khorne chaos looks great, Deepkin look great and DoK look great except I can’t imagine painting them...

Since my first love Tomb Kings are gone and there’s as yet no modern version of my other bffs the regular high and dark elves I have no idea what to pick. I might narrow it down to just one Grand Alliance and get a random selection to paint and see what faction I like.

I think you should get some fish elves they're cool.

:shepicide: but with a harpoon gun

You can get away with making an AOS army pretty cheap compared to whfb. Force size is smaller and 1000pts is a general game size. I like eels so I picked up 6 new from lgs with a shark and an Akhelian King. Then I got another 6 eels cheap on ebay. Bam that's a full army.

That sounds perfect. You'll want to boost the numbers/add more as you climb up the points costs, obviously. The pre-GHB 2019 army comp tended to be 1 9 man and 1 6 man Morsarr unit and then a few Ishlaen.

I wish the Namarti stuff was good. :(

Right now with a shark they're 1000 points almost exactly which is good since the club I've started going to has a fair few new armies around that value. I think if I expand from here it's going to be two more sharks and turtle power, then I'll probably bulk up on eels. It's such a fun cav army.
