Give use their names then. I think Crematorian and Ivory ones only had titles, not names and Horse guys had nothing (Horek doesn't count)

>>97628334
its not in english.
>>97628361
Ivory Host = Zaras Vintos
Crematorians = Oritan Pharek
Petrifex Elite = Kamir Halkain

>>97628390
what about the art?

>>97628316
>>97628390
Is this new lore? I know next to nothing about obr. How deep do they go into the "subfactions" ? I always like it when they delve deeper into some of the subgroups within a tome, but it seems they don't do much of that for some factions.

Oritan is fighting a helsmith invasion in shysh. the dwarfs are trying to plunder the archives in Lindl, but the most important scrolls have been moved away already. Meanwhile Oritan isn't pushing them out since hashites are following a higher, demonic power that the ossiarchs wanna keep in check. Also, the crematorians are treated as scum by the other legions and wont get reinforced by them as well. Against the Skavendoom, the crematorians are using a burned earth policy. the rats are getting burned out. Meanwhile, Zharr Vyxa is increasing it's attacks on them which the Crems hold off in reckless suicide charges and pyre pits.

my only copium at this point is they're the 5e starter and there's a new range of constructs coming that replace the gap left behind in size and stats by Kavalos and mortek now, explaining their fuckawful stats and role in the army.

Otherwise the new tome makes zero sense. It's far more likely the writer has an extra pair of chromosomes and the army is destined to inherit the tomb king curse of being an after thought for 10+ years.

>>97629054
It’s decent, I like the oak attempt with the eyes. The mice getting out of the warp bath is also cool.

>>97629054
Not bad for a beginer. Some of the pink parts could use a darker wash, lik the ears or the tail, to make them less flat.
Rats being covered in the goop is a decent idea. Blood looks a bit fake

>>97629081
Yea still working on the blood, and I was not intending the rats coming out the bell to be covered in goop, was thinking they would be magical constructs but I like the goop idea better, gonna lean into it a little more

>>97629054
I dig it, hope to see you stick around anon. Always nice to see more models posted around here. I think you could add a bit of rat poking through the glowy effects to help add some contrast, eyes do look pretty fuckin cool.

I’m so-so on the bug riders for sylvaneth.
>What would you change?
Honestly I’m fine with them design wise but I’d like them to be easier to build/paint

Also moths would have been my go to choice for sylvaneths bug motif, or butterfly’s. I think outcasts are going with bees/wasps.
>What would you add if your faction doesn't have any?
Now with this being said, sylvaneth do technically lack grounded cavalry, what I would do is go one of two routes. Continue the trend of kurnoth hybrids which allows them to be a horde Calvary unit that can shit up the board. They should be a 20 man unit at minimum. Give them odd bases too, standard circles, some ovals, really odd shit.

The other route is order of the furrow for heavy armor cavalry that’s designed to stick around rather than focus on dishing out damage. Maybe give the champion a priest keyword too, considering how they’re getting prayers now.

>>97629054
It's a little bit messy at times but pretty good for a beginner's mini anon well done. Would try to clean up the mouldlines next time for example.

Believe not, the beetles are manticore sized, you're basically expected to use the wardroth beetle to make one knight

I'd make a beetle heavy army. That sounds awesome as hell.

>>97630187
hammerhal ghyra also has mantises to pull cannon carriages

>>97630183
This is the kind of shit AoS should be leaning into. Not Californian inner cities of Sigmar and Art Deco Dwarfs.

>>97630208
You've thrown the term art deco at so many factions that I'm left wondering if now you mean kharadrons, fyreslayers, chuardins or the upcoming dispossessed

>>97630183
I don't suppose the beetle can be made to fit tahlia's base?
I think if you wanted to you could find some decent beetle mounts among the necromunda guys to use as cavaliers.
A fulll hammerhal ghyra beetle army like this would be sick man. Cities in general has huge kitbash potential, even now.

>>97630208
You can't have the weird ass shit until the basic ground is covered

The dawnbringers releases are simply necessary, only then, once there's a standard, and enough units to convert and proxy whatever you want, you can actually have meaningful depictions of the realms' extremes

I think these days the only army that can truly be called art deco is chorfs. Ironically they've moved away from art deco with stormcast in favour of more "darksoulsian" aesthetics, for a lack of a better word.

>>97630208
I'm kinda looking forward the two special characters rumoured for this wave of cos, because it will set up cities-specific characters and perhaps set a trend for more characters to represent the others

>>97630265

>>97630253
aos has grown since then, actually

>>97630290
By all quantifiable metrics (tournaments) AoS has declined in player popularity.

>>97630316
Your quantifiable metric is bullshit though.

>>97630283
So what was it again, anvilgard (lol) and settler's gain? Funny that they're both (presumably in the case of jorvan) exiled from their city of choice AND both hate elves.
So we got tahlia for hammerhal (mainly aqsha, but her new book focuses on ghyra I guess), jorvan for anvilgard, erasmus for settler's gain. Oh, and zenestra is also mucking around in embergard or whatever the fuck.
Total Aqshy Victory by the way, since anvilgard is also a great parch location, as is embergard. no seriously gw you gotta let some other realm in the spotlight again I know ghur fucked things up in 3rd but PLEASE

>>97630316
Last time I checked tournament attendance was actually up in 2025 compared to the year before. Though less people went to big events, this was counteracted by smaller grassroots events becoming more popular iirc. Which imo is probably a good trend.
Although to be fair that was a few months ago by now, no idea how things are going currently.

>>97630321
the dawnbringers books had the gal who founded verdigris, turned kurnothi and went away in a cliffhanger, she's a good candidate for a new special character
lethis is also popular and could warrant a character for a different religious cult with the one of morrda

do we count callis and toll for excelsis? the rest of the group cements them into hammerhal

>>97630316
Yeah it dropped 5 points on the adequacy scale and lowered 13% on the viability in regards to painting space marines chart. Shit's rough, GW's probably gonna can it and execute most of the staff so they can mulch them and refill the feed bucket of the 40k team.

I honestly had no idea callis and toll were from excelsis, always thought they were from hhal because of the saviours of cinderfall thing. I guess we can count them but it's not really the same level of association tahlia has with hhal, or the two new elfhating guys seem to have with their cities.
Lethis seems fairly popular to me, as does greywater. I can definitely see lethis getting a character, especially since all the morrda stuff is now intertwined with the reclusian stormcast stuff too.

And the tournament stuff is suspect as fuck, years ago the 'big' stats shows wouldn't even talk about tournaments with less than like 24 people, 3 day, now I listen and they are like 'nine people played in China, huge success.'
Bitch they probably played there years ago, nine people playing there doesn't matter if 900 stopped in the US.

My area didn't have much of a scene to start with but has declined.

Seems like the inflection point was the first ghb failed to keep people hooked in.

For the YouTube views I'm not sure, all I know is I miss mini war gaming and it's funny they quit doing aos and tow because they pulled in like 10x the numbers other active aos channels do. Literally the only streamers that didn't feel fake and had great editing. What's left now is more like marketing for the game, they don't look like they're having as much fun as they used to.

>>97630601
I don't know if youtube views are a good way to gauge. Like TOW/Fantasy has way more creators and more views on average/overall compared to AoS. But I don't think anyone thinks TOW is more popular than AoS, at least for now.

Nobody is saying that hammerhal ghyra is using wardroth beetles, they're using another creature whose name escapes me, but they're a species of beetles the size of large monsters
and this has nothing to do with the blacktalon novel, but the latest vedra novel

>>97630678
>But I don't think anyone thinks TOW is more popular than AoS
Probably depends on the region. I imagine AoS is bigger in England and TOW is bigger in Germany.

>>97630675
>all I know is I miss mini war gaming and it's funny they quit doing aos and tow because they pulled in like 10x the numbers other active aos channels do
They don't do fantasy reports anymore because their friends channel Mountain Miniatures covers TOW exclusively in battle reports, and they use the MWG bunker for all their TOW battle reports. You probably have seen Steve (big fat guy) and Luca (smaller chubby guy) on the MWG videos, they are the TOW guys from Mountain Minis.

I think in general/overall Europe probably has more TOW players than AoS. NA is definitely AoS dominated however. It would be interesting to see some kind of decent Asian stats, I wonder if Cathay did something for the popularity of Fantasy in Asia.

Also I love squigs but I thought the whole 40k version of them was kind of badly executed, they made them too piglike.
The squigosaur is 10/10 kino though I need to get better at sculpting so I can replace the mech foot and use it as the base of a conversion.

It's trying to evoke this style of art, but cranked up to 11 as is appropriate of Warhammer.

>>97630810
Eh I like 40k more because it's somehow less lethal and list building is more dynamic, detachments are much better than battle formations and I really miss faction specific command abilities. I don't have a long history of playing 40k so maybe earlier versions were better but I think it's more interesting than 4e.

I will say both games could use more faction flavor, 4e is much worse about it but 10e has way too many skills that are flat modifiers to a stat than something that's unique that the army can do. Also cutting psychic phase is lame.

>Dark Elves and Bretonnia in TOW
You know come to think of it I've actually never seen a single dark elf army in tow either irl or online. The other legacy armies are less popular than the core ones sure but you still see em pop up from time to time, even chorfs I see someone post their fabelzel stuff once in a blue moon. But dark elves have eluded me.
Weren't they fairly popular in 8th?

Dark Elves are actually one of the most popular legacy factions going by tournament appearances (this tracks from the launch of TOW hence why Cathay is so low)

>>97630810
>right now
I dropped out halfway through 5th.

>>97630853
sure, but they didn't really do a good job at either. If they cranked it up sure, but it still feels too grounded, which is whats in contrast with that pic you posted. they needed to pick or the other and they ultimately didn't succeed in either way. The art is overall really detailed which draws away from the details that matter, which is the dragon(s).

>>97630854
None of those apply to 40k. Its a way, way more lethal game, lisy holding is static with no real warhead choices since you will always take the best one for no extra points, and without any sort of force org 40k is filled with skew lists where everyone just spams their best datasheet. 4th ed aos ain't nothing special but thankfully its better than 10th ed 40k.

>>97630881
Because the art style isn't concerned with realistic faces.

>>97630854
>4e is much worse about it but 10e has way too many skills that are flat modifiers to a stat than something that's unique that the army can do.
You're supposed to play 4e with 3rd edition codexes. The 3.5 CSM codex is one of the most flavorful army books for any GW game ever.

>wood elves only just barely beating out VC
Brutal
>lizardmen and skaven under chorfs
Huh wouldn't have expected that. Are they awful enough that it would affect their tournament appearances even relative to the other legacy factions?
Anyway this makes the lack of dark elves I've seen even more confusing. Where the fuck are they?

>>97630909
Fuck me list building is way more static with no real wargear choices

>>97630920
>wood elves only just barely beating out VC
That's because VC are the strongest army in the game currently and have been arguably since launch, despite being legacy.

>>97630926
I thought that was the chinese lunar new year parade

>>97630931
They got nerfed like a month ago and also they weren't in at launch, VC has been consistently good. Banshee screams are broken and the infantry buffs in 1.5 only made the army even stronger

>>97630931
The balloons at their peak could match VC, but they weren't definitively stronger. The balloons now are really really bad post January balance errata.

It's unlikely to happen, but if it does, I would justify it by saying they are a subgroup of the Bonesplitters who discovered some abandoned Karak Duardin from millennia ago. Inside, they discovered a lot of Duardin technology, and after a very long time testing it and discovering its uses, they began to use it (note that this doesn't mean they know how to build it; they simply found it and are using it). Now they have begun to attack and invade human settlements in search of those who can build and maintain more of their stolen goods. As for the various species of squigs they use, they could be cave squigs that adapted to life on the surface, diversifying into all the species we know that the Beast Snagga use. As for the location, I would place them in Ghur, west of Lendu or Rondhol, in some arid, mountainous place with many valleys and gorges. thus expanding the maps of ghur and not just focusing on the ones we already know.

>>97629925
They were in the neave book too years ago if I remember correctly

I dont disagree, the game just has different design philosophies at that scale that you cant see in 28-32mm games. I just wish they made the game more into an rpg, which is why I like ptg so much.

>>97631250
10th 40k and 4th AoS are practically identical rulesets, if you played those games you'd know but you're clearly a nomodels nogames so what can one expect?

>>97631020
The Beast Snagga are here to stay in 40k and they're not going anywhere, but their concept of an Ork army riding Beast Squigs can be reused, giving us something similar to what they did with the Grots and their new army of cavalry and wolf chariots, but on steroids.

The RPG options of Fantasy are what has lead me to be playing more of that than AoS recently. With AoS it's the same " you have 3 options ". Meanwhile in TOW you can create probably millions of unique characters due to the plethora of army specific as well as generic wargear you can kit out characters/units in. Not to mention more direct RPG traits like Chaotic Mutations or the religious devotion of different units. I hope 5th expands past 3 options for each slot for customization because it does feel like we are being shrimplified to be more like 40k.

personally I dont really care for that because you're always gonna pick the optimal thing. Happens with tow, happens with 40k, happens with any game. The games needs to introduce negative traits you can apply to characters to either make them cheaper or give them keywords that can be influenced, make your own items/battle trait fusions, and do what ptg did with blighted wilds and making your own regiments of renown/spells.

This is what GW apologists who defend the simplification say, but you can look at the thousands of tournament lists online and see that this objectively isn't the case. There is waaaaaaaaaaaay more variety in options taken for characters in TOW than AoS (not that it's a fair comparison with the whole limit of 3 in AoS)

>>97631314
Nah. With TOW theres leeway for you to pick and choose some different options even if sometimes theres one clearly best option

>>97631314
>>97631326
Also im not saying this to shit on AoS. I am saying we as a community should demand more options/choice so we can improve the game. Instead of defending every decision GW makes regarding it good or bad.

This is probably the best book for it because nothing of what katakros does is worth 500, not even the extra rdp. The downside is the entire army is pretty shit and they'll probably lower some units to an obscene amount to fix it. Legitimately the only good warscroll that they would reduce is going to be ig and morghasts, the rest are already insanely low for those types of units. It's another helsmith centaur situation.

Listening to warhammer weekly reviewing the battletome, they brought up the idea that all the bonuses that cost more for reinforced units could become a universal concept in 5E and OBR just happened to be the test case. Personally I think that would make a lot of sense, bonuses that target single units are more useful on reinforced units so making them more expensive should be obvious. It would help cut down on spam lists and encourage more unique listbuilding.
