Awesome, thanks

Feeling uneasy about the First Nations/ Native American inspiration now, though

it's more apparent on your guy than the full models, as far as I'm aware no existing culture ever rode giant spiders into war

It'll happen when it'll happen in this case. Considering they're also busy with 30k 2nd ed and on the fantasy front redesigning Cities of Sigmar from the ground up.

There's probably some overlap between Cities of Sigmar and the armies of the Old World, I would think

Question about the S.O.B.s,. if they're in the destruction faction why does the big guy have khorne symbols? Can you still take them as mercs in any army? If not can you take them in a Chaos/Khorne army?

No, cause it heavily depends on the city and location.

Ok so fantasy Feudalism just like the Imperialism.

the extent in which the authoritarian tyranny can actually exercise power is entirely dependant on plot considerations!

Well the best cities are not authoritarian tyrannies. By default none of them are supposed to be as they are supposed run by councils with elected membership.

What gives you the impression that Sigmar's Regime is more fascist?

The power of church state and economy all concentrated under one ruler and an army of brainwashed super soldiers who follow his every order.

and also the general aesthetic.

Mors Rattus posted:

Its main problem in AoS is it costs 250 points, and what you get for that is a relatively fragile monster that can't decide if it wants to be in melee or not. Like, if it costed 150, it'd be pretty usable, but at 250 it's too unfocused and has relatively little defensive tech besides having 18 Wounds and a 4+ save. It can run and shoot, but its guns are only okay and it gets less Move as it gets shot. It has a pretty great range of melee attacks, but its ranged attacks and run-and-shoot seem to suggest it shouldn't be getting into melee, and "has great melee attacks" is not rare within Slaves to Darkness to begin with, while ranged attacks are.

Looks fuckin' cool, tho.

thanks for the breakdown sounds like he'll be a points filler untill I can collect the rest of the army. I'm getting the army box with the Demon Prince who I hear is also not great

Chorfs in AoS will probably get the Lumineth treatment and be quite different from the old chorfs... and maybe a couple of battletomes per year, who knows.

Chorfs 2.0 were already quite different so it won't make a big splash wether or not they have hats

I think part of WHFB's appeal was that it's relatable and somewhat grounded. Like, I get how tough a Kislev dude riding a polar bear is because polar bears exist IRL. Empire soldiers are regular humans with fancy hats. It's a real feeling place, where all these creatures live and have jobs and try to kill each other.

AoS's pan-dimensional sphere of battle universes feels to me like trying to relate to a pinball machine.
I felt like this untill I read up on some Planescape lore and I started to see what they were going for.
