I'm not looking forward to a new Age of Sigmar app. The 40k app is garbage, and the AoS app has been totally fine, I have no idea why they're replacing it.

The official tools for Age of Sigmar are pretty good. The app has images which helps a lot with visually checking your list, it integrates with purchasing the Battletomes, so when you buy the book you get access to the information from it in the list builder, and the interface is much quicker to put something together than Battlescribe. The web app I haven't spent as much time with, but it's pretty quick to toss stuff together there, but it's weird they don't have the images there.

How are people making AoS 3 lists right now? https://www.warhammer-community.com/warscroll-builder/ and Azyr both aren't updated yet, and I want to plan out how I get my Gloomspite army to 2k.

I don't know why I'm surprised, but it still baffles me how poorly organized these launches are. I assumed they would have all this ready to go, pre-patch the apps with the updated points and flip the switch to turn it on today. They also haven't shipped my preorder rulebook I placed 6/19. I thought preorders were supposed to be release date delivery?

There's no AoS app for 3.0 yet, is there? Do the new Battletomes come with a code for a digital version like 40k does now, or will digital and physical be sold separately like AoS 2.0?

So far I really prefer the old app to the new app. For list building, it mixes allies and non-allies in the selection, so for some armies there's a bunch of stuff to scroll through. The other thing I don't like here so far is how they group units. In the old app, you got a heading per unit type, and you added based on unit type. It made it much quicker to scan what was where, and where you were relative to limits.   Exporting the army is way better, at least.

Randalor posted:If I wanted to get into AoS, out of the Seraphons, Overlords or Ogors, which would be the easiest/cheapest to build a starting army for? And which of the three is the most forgiving for making misplays? Seraphon stuff is mostly online order only, so it's a hassle to actively collect.

Marshal Prolapse posted:So I’ve been getting into Warhammer 40 K and working on models and stuff recently and it’s been a lot of fun. I decided to take my son to the Warhammer store (he’s going to be 6 next month and due to COVID we don’t get to go to as many stores as before, but luckily he’s great with masks), because he’s been saying how cool the age of Sigmar stuff looks from the free catalogs. He also thinks the space wolves look cool. He’s super excited to work on the models since they’re push fit ones, so no glue is needed. There are a lot of kid friendly, simple games on Itch that you could probably re-theme, like Clay Creatures https://s-jared.itch.io/clay-creatures you would lose out on the fun of dismantling the fighters, but this ruleset seems otherwise adaptable.

They really want you using your tiny phone with a tiny screen to manage Warhammer stuff instead of your large computer monitor with a nice keyboard and mouse interface. They also stopped selling ebooks of the rules.

Some quick and dirty paint jobs. I'm still recovering from covid so painting was rough, a lot of shaky hands. I also bought these when my backlog was already giant, so I tried to get them done asap to not feel guilty about doing that. I got the big boat boy because he reminds me of one of my favorite Elden Ring bosses. The archers were because it seems useful to have some ranged units in my list.

Marmaduke! posted:I've never gone in to a GW store to ask for their free mini of the month... I find it hard to imagine, do you waltz up to the counter and engage in small talk or some kind of pretence of spending full-retail cash before saying "please sir, gimme the freebie"? But to think that in July the giveaway is a model I previously owned and sold like a hundred of over a decade ago is quite mindboggling... when my buddy tried to get one, he said there's a line before the store even opens when the new monthly model is available and they get gotten real fast, they don't last long at all. I think once they've made it to lunch time the first day of the new model for a month, when it was a less popular model?

Finished 5 more crossbow ghosts, the five on the right. This will probably be it for Age of Sigmar a bit, I've got a huge 40k backlog to get back to. This puts me at over 4,000 points of painted ghosts.

Rules question: For Craventhrone Guard, can the Standard Bearer also be the champion? Wording on the unit card makes it sound like yes: "1 in every 5 models in this unit can be a Spectral Standard Bearer." and "1 model in this unit can be a Craven Huntmaster" but my friends aid you can't, is there something in the core rules preventing it?

GreenBuckanneer posted:OK, probably against my better judgement I'm now debating picking up Gloomspite Gitz: Stampeding Squigalanche The current book sort of divides the army into 4 categories: Goblins, squigs, spiders, and troggoths. This means you get the most synergies sticking to one of those 4 categories as much as possible. However, like everyone else pointed out, the new book is probably going to change things. I don't think AoS 3 books have changed terrain to cost points, so the Loonshrine's probably a good call to get. There's basically no reason to not bring faction terrain in AoS if your faction has it. After that, I'd probably get the Shaman, it's hard to imagine the spell caster of the army becoming worthless in a new book.

IncredibleIgloo posted:12" round might be possible to laser cut on a glowforge Pro, or do in halves on a regular glowforge. Is mylar like clear acrylic or a similar material? Remember those overhead projectors they'd wheel out in the '80s and '90s in class? It's that floppy transparent plastic used on those. I want them to look nice, glued together wouldn't look that nice. I've got the mid-range Glowforge, not a pro. I'm leaning toward these right now: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1150363728/neoprene-zones-for-age-of-sigmar-stony-6 But the gotcha is they wouldn't be here until after the 16th, and I was hoping to get a game in on MLK weekend.

GreenBuckanneer posted:So I was able to find some locals who are just getting started out with playing AoS! I wouldn't use the underworld minis. They tend to be a pain in the rear end to use because every model ends up with a unique weapon, attack range, etc. This means the Looncourt has 4 different weapons, with 3 different ranges (16", 2", 1"), different to hit / wound rolls, etc. Mollog's Mob is the only underworlds team I've found that works ok in Age of Sigmar when I've tried to use them, because the other models aren't gameplay models (they don't die / have attack ranges / etc) so you're basically just bringing a troggoth. 500 point games for age of sigmar are kind of a challenge to play for Age of Sigmar, more-so than 40k, but if you're with other new players and mostly just looking to play introductory games to learn it, you should be able to make it work. I wouldn't randomize the mission to do with the small lists, I would sit down with your opponent and both lists, and try to pick a mission that both of you have a chance of doing much on. At 500 points, you're just not going to have a ton of units to chase after objectives. Realistically you'll probably just play "We put our models on opposite ends of the table, last team standing wins" and not do much for objectives. I don't know much about the other factions, but for Gitz I would recommend, to make an OK 500 point game: Leaders: Fungoid Cave-Shaman and Loonboss on Giant Cave Squig (make him your general) Units: Squig Herd, Boingrot Bounders This comes out to 450 points, and you have a wizard, so you can bring an endless spell if you can proxy in anything for one.

Age of Sigmar reminders is still a fantastic site and I wish 40k had anything similar https://aosreminders.com/

The Deleter posted:Deranged new Deepkin model idea - it's a massive anglerfish that can transport namarti in its mouth and has a devastating bite attack that it can't use when it has said namarti in its mouth. At the beginning of the battle, the Deepkin player secretly writes down one objective marker. At any point in the battle, the Deepkin player can remove that objective marker from the board and replace it with the anglerfish, the objective was the fish's lure.

I thought the reason they didn't put them out was they mixed the sprues in a way they didn't want to resell them? Some combination of having a sprue with mixed High Elf and Skaven parts, and/or having the Rat Ogre parts spread over multiple sprues so they wouldn't be able to cleanly sell them without including a bunch of parts to half build other models. edit: Found images of the sprues, and yeah it's a mess  https://bigorbitgames.co.uk/warhammer-island-of-blood-review/ has all the sprues

GreenBuckanneer posted:for these kind of games I just print off their character sheet or whatever and if someone asks I just point to the sheet GW doesn't put that info on all warscrolls.  You can optionally equip one of these guys with a drum, this one does show the drum, so you could do that there.  But for this one, there are two optional alternate models: Champion and Standard Bearer. Also the app is broken and it lists one twice. A printout wouldn't make it clear which one is the Champion, and which one is the Standard Bearer in the unit. Standard Bearer is usually obvious, with a big flag. Champion is less obvious, so I think it's fair to require models like that to be very clearly marked. I've definitely hosed up and accidentally swapped who my Champion for a unit was mid-game in Age of Sigmar in casual games. I just looked again, adding a Champion is actually optional, too, weird.

I don't know if I'll get one for minis because one of the only places around me I can play is an official GW store. the 3D printers that are good for terrain are a lot safer and easier to use than the ones that do minis. Especially if you have kids/pets, a spool of rolled up plastic is less of a concern than a dangerous liquid that can easily spill.

My interest in Old World is currently at zero. Modern Age of Sigmar basically addresses most of the problems I had with Warhammer Fantasy originally. However, if they announce Vampire Coast as a faction and specifically the Necrofex Colossus getting a model (and the other good stuff like Rotting Leviathan), my interest goes to 100. I'll learn to play the slow square based game that requires you to spend way more on models compared to AoS and 40k if it's got good poo poo like the Necrofex Colossus.

Gato The Elder posted:a friend and i are getting into AoS and have built up a modest collection of a few factions: Gloomspite, Skaven, Nighthaunts, and Seraphon. We plan to play entirely within our friend group, and I'd like any advice you all have on playing AoS 'casually' (a loaded word, I know) and with those factions. The main thing I'd suggest at smaller point sizes is Age of Sigmar moreso than 40k can devolve into everything blobbing up into one melee fight ball. Skew lists in Age of Sigmar at 1,000 points aren't as much of a problem as 40k, luckily, so 1,000 point games are easier to play without coordinating lists as much ahead of time. General list building tips for fun games at 1,000 points: Avoid any models that are over 200 points individually, that's 1/5 of your list and can skew the game. Try to go for more multi-model units than leaders, maybe keep your leader point spend around 300? So basically 300 points for leaders, and 700 points for battleline and other units. If I were to play my Nighthaunt in a 1,000 point game right now, this is roughly what I'd play. I know this isn't meta competitive, but it's a casual 1,000 point game not a competitive game, and I want it to be fun: Leaders: Awlrach the Drowner - 170 points Spirit Torment - 120 points Battleline: Chainrasps - 110 points Chainrasps with reinforcements - 220 points Spirit Hosts - 130 points Grimghast Reapers - 130 points Craventhrone Guard - 90 points Again, not particularly competitive, but this gets me 4 regular size blobs of units on the table, one huge 20 model blob, and two leaders, so 7 units total. I would purposely not bring Kurdoss Valentian, Lady Olynder, the Briar Queen, a Black Coach, or a Mourngul because all of those are more than 200 points for a single model. I've made the mistake of playing a 1,000 point game with like 3 or 4 units before, and it's not fun for either person really.
