Beerdeer posted:I figured out what really bothered me about the switch. Legions was a new way of doing a Death army that felt interesting, with Morghasts and the other cosmic horrors in the same army as your basic skeleton or zombie. With that flavor gone, Soulblight feels like a massive step backwards to Vampire Counts days. You can't do an interesting Death army because it's all siloed to Ghosts or Vamps or Ghouls or Bone Golems. See I didn't find LoN to be all that interesting, it was basically a placeholder book while Death was waiting for its big 2e updates that eventually came and boy did it feel like it. Vampire Counts redux is a significantly more fun and interesting idea than having what was essentially a few extra rules if you did a Grand Alliance Death soup army. If you really insist on mixing everything together though I still think you can do that under the overarching Grand Alliance Death army.

I'm actually upset that Hedonites got yet another points increase, Hedonites units were already horribly overcosted and piling more points on their units just makes one of the weakest armies in the game even weaker

The Baumann posted:I'm in an area with a pretty big AoS scene and 3.0 seems as good a time as any to start. I like the idea of having a skeleton horde with Soulblight Gravelords and Ray Harryhausening it up. Is it possible to run a skeleton heavy list or are the real stars of the army the vampires in charge? From what Ive heard its less that the vampires are the real stars and more that the zombies are just better than the skeletons right now. Ive seen a lot of people saying that zombies+corpse cart+necromancer is the starting point for every soulblight gravelords list going forward.

Deified Data posted:I got my first game of third in with some of the units from Dominion proxied in and good lord those new crossbow orcs are not okay lol. There's basically no reason to ever use their single shot profile because all you're doing is fishing for mortals on 5+ to hit (with the shaman). Orcs are an elite shooting army now, easily lol. Nothing I had could withstand it. I'm just imagining sitting on an objective with those and a shaman who summoned shackles in front of them and is feeding them poisons to help with mortal fishing

Grizzled Patriarch posted:How are Sons of Behemat looking in the transition to 3.0? The sculpts are amazing and I've always been tempted at the back of my mind to pick one or two up just to paint them someday, but I'm curious if they're gonna be good enough to possibly turn into a side project army down the line. I've been watching Heywoah's streams for the past couple days and his take is that they are the army that is best positioned going into 3.0, Mega-Gargants are now battleline, they now have a bunch of free rules thanks to having the monster keyword army wide and they do not care about coherency he's actually almost talked himself into buying in to the army on his own but said he's gonna wait for the faq

I think you can quibble about GW's reasons for doing so but I think its pretty inarguable that GW wants less models on the table in 3.0. Between the across the board points increases and the reinforcement mechanic its pretty obvious what they're going for.

JBP posted:Just want to say what happened with Warmachine/Hordes is loving sad. I played a lot of that game with other people that were bored with GW like ten years ago. It was such a fun system with so much cool poo poo going on, I loved the trollkin models and game had great risk/reward. Yeah I kept wanting to jump in when I lived back in STL but I just couldn't afford it and by the time I could I was living in another part of the country and 40k 8th edition had just exploded onto the scene and Warmahordes was on its way out. Its a real shame that such a rich setting with such a cool system got flushed down the toilet. I'm not usually a big steampunk guy but their particular blend of it was really compelling. I know they have a sci-fi game now but I looked at it and honestly it just looks like someone desperately trying to ape Infinity. Edit: on a related note I hope Malifaux is doing ok, its almost completely unheard of in the area i'm in now but I had a lot of fun playing the games that I did back in STL and that game is incredibly unique both aesthetically and mechanically AnEdgelord fucked around with this message at 01:22 on Jul 2, 2021 |

Idk I really love all three of the AoS Orc aesthetics and I can understand someone that feels like they are a bit too different but for me I always imagined that taking a Big Waaagh list means that your general is a charismatic conqueror who has unified the various Orc tribes around themselves, and it mostly lasts for that general's lifespan rather than being a truly integrated fighting force. The way I was planning on doing mine was that the Kruleboyz would be in their standard swamp aesthetic with lots of blue body paint like 40k Deathskulls or Celtic Woad Warriors, while the Ironjawz would be done with plains bases and a bit of a steppe nomad aesthetic and I would just say that my general has united the plains and the swamp tribes behind him to go on a great waaagh. Don't know what I'll do with Bonesplitterz but I have plenty of time to work that out.

TheDiceMustRoll posted:Whats the variance in 40k? They all look the same to me aside from a very obvious pirate theme in 40k so this "metal armor"/Caveman/Dark Crystal variance is interesting until recently all orks in 40k were just mad max scrap barbarians but recently GW has created two ork "sub-kulturs" in the form of the speed freaks and the beast snaggas Speed Freaks are orks who are still mad max scrap barbarians but have a bunch of tooled up and hot-rodded out vehicles made to go fast while Beast Snaggas have a bit of a Horizon Zero Dawn/Monster Hunter vibe and ride squigs like horses edit: oh yeah I forgot there is also the Freebooterz who are the pirate guys you saw

DLC Inc posted:wouldn't it be possible to take Orruk Brutes as Battleline allies or can they only be pushed together as such in a Big Waagh? as of right now you can only do that in Big Waaagh and if you do so you lose the Kruleboy allegiance ability of doing mortals on sixes, luckily the book and a ton of new kits are coming out next month but until that happens its gonna be super awkward to put your kruleboyz on the actual table

Marmaduke! posted:I'm probably going to pick up the main boxed set (or maybe one of the other starter sets), mostly with a view to getting back into greenskins. I sold most of my figures nearly a decade ago, think I just have the big spider (couldn't let that thing go) and maybe some night goblins left. Although I'll mostly be buying the models just cos they're fun and will be enjoyable to paint, it'd be good to think about how an overall army would look. Would you just be able to slot in a bunch of extra goblins and Arachnarok into the Dominion set? 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!) You can probably ally the goblins in but greenskins have actually been split into two factions with the Orcs going into 'Orruk Warclans' (which is the faction the models in the starter box belong to) and all the Goblins and Trolls getting their own faction called 'Gloomspite Gitz'.

Basically all of Necrons is spread out through the entire Death Grand Alliance, the closest are Soulblight Gravelords and Ossiarch Bonereapers but Flayed Ones and Ghouls are basically the same thing so Flesh Eater Courts is pretty much an entire army of Flayed Ones and even Nighthaunt has some parallels. Necrons are meant to be the space undead so they are at least somewhat similar to all of the undead factions.

Im an ork lover and the kruleboyz are cool to me. Plus you can just as easily flip it around and say that Stormcast are not space marines no matter how much gw wishes they were and an Elf army of some variety would have been a bigger draw. Without having access to market research its hard to tell what was the stumbling block besides AoS just being less popular than 40k period.
