That's perfectly delightful and sort of what I had in mind when I started working on my skellies. How did you do it?

Thanks! It's a bit freeform, lots of intermediate mixes:

Base body color is VGC Royal Purple

Skin: Screamer Pink -> Screamer Pink + Wild Rider Red, starting at about 75/25 SP/WRR, mixing progressively more Wild Rider into it, until it looks right

Stomach: VGC Hexed Lichen -> VGC Violet Red -> Violet Red + Pink Horror mix, again mixing more Pink Horror until you like the look of the highlight

Crystals: drybrush Wild Rider Red -> VGC Hot Orange -> Fire Dragon Bright -> Yriel Yellow

Both Screamer Pink and Violet Red don't have great coverage, so they allow a bit of the Royal Purple to poke through here and there. Gives the skin a more interesting look, I feel.

And more importantly... how easy is it to pull a bunch of weedy gobbos off of square bases and put them onto round ones? (at least I never glued the spider onto its base!)

Depends on how you've glued them on :v:

Plastic glue, you gotta carefully cut them off. Superglue, throw them in the freezer for a bit and they should snap off.

I'm super super jealous of how "smooth"/matte you get the stuff you post - the paint job is awesome of course, but wowzers I love the texture most

I'm hesitant to recommend it, because they're not a great company, but it's AK Ultra Matte varnish. A goon recommended me Vallejo Mecha Matt as an alternative. Supposedly a lot stronger as well.

I really feel like GW should have been releasing the core kits for the new books before the special heroes etc. I'm kinda tempted to buy another shaman and some gutrippas from ebay from a set splitter, is that GW's intent? Plus it looks like I'll have to run my army as big yellas just to fit core requirements, but I'm not actually going to paint anything yellow. Maybe the fluff text means my guys are really good at yelling...

Do people actually care about matching painting schemes with rules (space marine weirdos notwithstanding)?

Paint your dollies however you like, dont play with people who cares about it

I like that the Stormcast are branching out on which animals they put on their armor. Boar, owl and eagle (or aetherwing or whatever)

Spiderclan’s been around a while, they just don’t at all get talked up by the writing.

I’m expecting them to either be phased out or given a new look at some point, since the whole “Native American goblins” thing doesn’t play so well nowadays

There's 1) forest goblins that ride spiders and dress problematically like native Americans (as envisioned by 80s British nerds) and there's also 2) multi-limbed night goblins who spent too much time around Tzeentch.

The forest goblins spidercult reveres the spider god which AFAIK isn't chaos related, and the trailer indicated chaos.

It would be cool to see spider cult brought into the destruction pantheon, but the trailer mentioned chaos so it's anybody's guess.

Could also be bug-looking beastmen, a throwback to when beastmen could look like anything.

oh yeah, forgot about the silver tower lads. A range of those would be neat, but given the focus on Chaos in the trailer it's probably something else.

My money is on cultist driders of some variety

I just have two pressing questions for Old World:

1) Have they said if Lizardmen/Seraphon will be in it?
2) What about Chaos Dwarves?

Less pressing but still kinda curious:

3) Will we finally see what the armies that weren't in WFB but named dropped look like?

No, no, probably

The factions that are confirmed (as far as I remember) are Empire, Kislev, Bretonnia, High Elves, Wood Elves and Orcs.

Kislev will probably look like the Total War faction more than the old models, and they just revealed Cathay in TW, so I’d be surprised if they didn’t show up in Old World as well.

... I mean, okay, I can see people calling it AOS, but only in the sense of "yes, most of the armies in the TW games DO show up in AOS in one form or another", but WOW? Why WOW? I am genuinely confused about that.

“Looks like WoW” has become the go-to insult for fantasy-aesthetic-I-don’t-like in a lot of places. I’m guessing it’s because of the fantasy China thing, which was also the theme for a WoW expansion.

I will admit that I’m somewhat worried about Cathay…but mostly because of Forge World, which is the branch of GW I trust the least on any kind of racial issue.

I mean, they'll probably just use the TW designs and I'm not chinese but they seem... ok?

What Battletomes are on the horizon other than Nurgle? I haven't been keeping up. Are there any dual-army boxes planned like with what they've been doing with 40k?

40k has a (so far) very accurate leaked release plan going around but I haven't seen one (or at least one that seems to be accurate) for AoS. There were some rumors about Gitz, Ogors and Beasts of Chaos battletomes at some point, I think?

There was a rumor floating around a few months back about nurgle, ogors, gitz and beasts the first batch of battletomes and with the nurgle book coming out that seems like it might be correct.

Gitz need help so bad that I certainly hope they get an update soon. Models that good shouldnt have rules that bad.

So I recently purchased the Stormcast start collecting box in order to get the mandatory Lord-Relictor for my army plus some bonus goodies and now that it has arrived I've noticed a huge problem with the box. There are only three Paladin in the box but all the Paladin units that the kit can assemble have a minimum unit size of 5. Is there somewhere I can get the last two models to fill out the unit? They're pretty much useless without those two models.

you might be able to snag some single models on eBay?

On the topic of starting new armies, I have a buddy that I think I have successfully talked into picking up one of the new Battleforces that are on pre-order now, but he's probably gonna wait until Christmas. Are those something that are limited stock and will be sold out / getting scalped online by then or do they tend to be available for a while?

They are limited stock, but I saw some stray 2020 AoS boxes at my LGSs throughout spring and summer at least. It depends quite a lot on the popularity of the army and size of the discount I think.
