>Invent a new unit for a faction you don't play
Musicians of slaanesh. denys deep strikes, and boosts control score of (1) unit it sees. The unit loses their abilities if they are on the point though.
kit would only have musicians (duh), champion would be a very modern idol wielding a microphone thats implied to have belonged to a khadron thats being used a tactical rock. The rest are a mix of mortals and demons that, in contrast to the champion, are more visibly erratic.

Ironically though I'm really not a fun of trugg. Just a very cluttered model.

>>97636696
>cascade of end of edition models
How many factions could be possibly expect to get something? I require more lizards and more skeletons

>>97636044
As other Anon said, just chuck what you don't want on ebay, as long as it's not overproduced box-chaff you'll most likely be able to get something for it.

>>97636704
I would expect something for chaos mostly. Idk if blades will get anything, it'd be a shame if they didnt, esp considering how prominent how khul is supposed to be in the narrative. Maybe slaanesh to tie in with the elf happenings in 5th? Wouldnt be surprised if smiths also get something. For non chaos though, idk. I also cant figure out if fyreslayers are going to be tied to the end of edition narrative. Like how corsairs are for 40k, or how world eaters/guard were.

>>97636704
I mean lizards are still due to their tome and pity hero. There's a rumour on tga saying they'll also get refreshed saurus guard but it's not from one of the usual reliable guys so could just be nothing.
I don't know enough about 40k releases to come up with a pattern for their end of edition stuff (beyond more marines = more money) but I assume it's mostly factions that didn't get that much during their normal release wave? Like csm and now knights?

>>97636660

End of 2E gave us LRL 2nd wave, SBGL, Kragnos, the Slaanesh twins, Lord Kroak, and more.

End of 3E gave us 2nd waves for Ironjawz, FEC, and STD (Darkoath) plus a full army release for CoS, and the usual hero/centerpiece spam on top.

The pattern is pretty clear, there will be update waves that were held back from earlier in the edition. There will be a bunch of heroes, including centerpiece models, etc etc

Also doesn't this kind of go against the end times thing where malekith is the true phoenix king or whatever the fuck I never read any of that.

>>97638937
I meant celennar = lileath of course, typed too fast. Don't think that's actually the case to be clear, but it is a path they could take.

Not to start a shitstorm but what is so bad about the OBR tome? Haven't played a of AoS and I only have the two spearheads so i haven't done any list building.

>>97638944
>Bland game design
A lot of abilities are on a dice roll so your unit can just randomly do nothing, which is a feelbad. The return of tithe point is also designed so you're forced to play katakros or lose a bunch of power.
>Nerfs when compared to the index
The army always had crit 2 hit on all of their units, the tome remove them from most unit and you need a battle trait to get it on one unit and on a roll; also cavalry no longer have their +1dmg when charging, unless you bring a specific lord.
>Clash between lore and rules
OBR are supposed to be built from scratch using the best parts of bones and souls to create the strongest soldiers. Meanwhile the new rules make your cavalry a weak unit made to constantly run away, the new entries are horde-like, and with the exception of morghasts there isn't any "big hitter" in the army

>>97638937
maybe he now embodies the role of ruler/keeper of the elven underworld? as in ereth kial or nethu, in a way that would still make him the "eternity king" of the old world elves, because they're the dead he would be meant to guard over

What's Warcry exactly, is it the kill team equivalent for Sigma?

>>97638991
Moreof it's own game with Sigmar models. Kill Team is jsut small 40k, isn't it?

>>97638971
That'd be a clever solution, which means gw definitely didn't think of it.
>>97638991
Basically. Though it's a little bit more nuanced than that. You don't have to play with the specific kill team kits for example, you can build your own warband out of normal aos models. But it occupies mostly the same niche yes.

>mally gets to be "eternity king" over a dead world
holy kino

>>97639059
I was bored and curious so I decided to check the index and the tome for those abilities
Half of the warscrolls have abilities that only work on a 3+ or a "roll a d3 on 2+..." for both the index and the tome (9 out of 19 for the index, 11 out of 24 for the tome). But out of the battle formation/artifact/trait the index only had 1 ability on a roll whereas the tome has 3 out of the ten.

Indexes having rolls for abilities is fine because they have to make all of them quickly for the new edition, and it's an easy albeit boring way of making sure something isn't too broken. But having them on the battletome is annoying because you'd expect designer to put some work into them.

>>97639138
Kino, but is that the mage from the Goonar kit on the right?

Literally insane or fucking bait.
RDP is the most restricted and unfun it's ever been. Do you want your single hammer unit to get s 5+ ward? Well that's ALL YOUR RDP FOR A BATTLE ROUND (ignore how lumineth can do this repeatedly for two or more units).
Our artifacts are, like the 4th edition standard, 66% shit, and one is DECENT but even then, has fucking stipulations (you can't charge... God forbid all the combat MONSTERS of the OBR tome-so zero non unique heroes- ask to not be executed if they charge in. The subfactions are some of the worst shit I have ever seen printed. Literally don't even bother taking one. They took away crit 2 hits, our bland but serviable army rule from the index, from all our combat units BUT THE ONES THAT ABUSED IT THE MOST, ensuring that you never want anything but a Morghast in combat. They also seem to be under the idea that a combat army actually doesn't want to have cool attack profiles, instead just roll a d3 for MW, FOR ONE UNIT ONLY OER TURN, to do some middling and boring effect.
> Death rider spammers complain

Nagash didn't start out as *the* god of death, he had to (and is still in the process of) conquering the other underworlds of shyish. If gazul has held out so far it stands to reason that the elves could too.
Though I think anon meant it more as the keeper of the dead specifically of [the elves of] the world that was, mallus, and not like in general the dead elves of right now in aos times.

Pretty sure outside of MLP rest were brutally mogged by anime and manga, just like western comics spectrum.

>>97639939
anime was nothing in the west in the 80's
that's more of a late 90's/early 2000's phenomenon

>>97639939

In their heyday? Fuck no, not even close. Manga overshadowing western comics is also a recent development and has more to do with comics going down the toilet than manga getting better.

You're actually retarded and definitely were not even alive during the 80/90s. Anime only barely started getting traction in the west in the late 90s with Dragonball. Nowdays, yes, manga shits all over comics but that's still mostly because DC/Marvel are a shadow of what they used to be after decades of decline.

As opposed?
I am really curious to see sales numbers in retrospective.

>>97640011
Nah, things were very different
https://rsmwriter.blogspot.com/2023/01/comics-sales-1985-1986.html

1980's Comics Sales numbers in the US are comparable to Manga Sales in Japan currently.

>>97640041
>https://rsmwriter.blogspot.com/2023/01/comics-sales-1985-1986.html
Thanks you but:
>The accompanying numbers are the average per-issue paid circulations reported in the forms.

>>97639862
No one is going to care if you use one for the other if that's what you're worried about

>>97640041
>1980's Comics Sales numbers in the US are comparable to Manga Sales in Japan currently.
So basically proving my point
>Ford sales were high untill Volkswagen and Toyota landed on US market

>>97640049
It's the closest thing to hard numbers you are going to get. Even today, hard sales numbers are basically impossible to find.

>>97640040
They don't publish sales numbers anymore since COVID for a variety of reason but we can look at pre-COVID numbers
In Feb 2006, the highest-selling comic was Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-Men #13 at 140,603, followed by New Avengers #16at 121,446. The highest selling Dc book was Justice #4 at 110,447.
Fast forward to Feb 2020 and outside of the outlier of #1 Wolverine at 190,568(Number ones always sell well due to variant covers Wolverin #2 in March only sold 74,228), next one down is #7 X-Men 92,287. The highest-selling DC comic was Batman at #74,423.
so as you see quite a drop after only 14 years, and I don't think it's improved in the half-decade since Covid.

I wonder how they will handle the faces if they make khanate stuff for old world. They brought up the khanate a lot in the old world articles before anything released but it seems like all their plans got scrapped with how weird everything with it has been

>>97640149
Going for the khanate of all things seems like it would have been a weird choice. It's not even in the total war games is it?
That being said hobgrots do seem to be quite different from their old world counterparts, I don't think the one would influence the other if that's what you're getting at.

>>97640149
I like both but I prefer the AoS version just because it differentiates them more than regular goblins

>>97640162
Allegedly there was plans for at least a few khanate models for the tamurkhan series that never happened so it's not impossible

>>97640149
the goblins have been mentioned again in the latest arcane journal
but I think people are severely overestimation how much of a faction they are or would be or should be

it's stuff like black orcs, forest goblins and savage orcs, one or two units in the old world, not really a capital F faction

>>97640162
They tease Hobgoblin Empire stuff even in AoS, I'll believe they'll actually do it when I see it, though.

>The cover of this month’s White Dwarf says it all – “Space Pirates” – yes, it's getting into the Corsair fun! Along with a look at Huron and his friends, issue 522 features a Paint Splatter guide for the Corsair Skyreavers, a suitably piratical Warhammer 40,000 battle report, and an Army of Renown based around Nagash himself. There are also rules for using an Akhelian Thrallmaster, Isharann Soulrender, Ikon of the Sea, and Ikon of the Storm as heroes in your games of Warhammer Quest: Darkwater.

Damn even more minis? Anything for us you guys figure or more 40k end of edition stuff?

>Nurgle, OBR, LRL, Tzeentch released, Sylvaneth soon
>Remaining Armies are CoS, Ogres, Seraphon, DoK, Fyreslayers, Slaanesh, SoB.
It's not impossible they'll throw out another pity hero reveal, IMO. Adepticon will almost certainly be the CoS/Skaven reveals

>>97640397
It could be Slaanesh since they're the only one with a firm pity hero-only rumor or SoB since they're unlikely to ever get more than one kit at a time. Seraphon has Old Blood on foot, Saurus Guard, and Endless Spells for a rumor, DoK has some sort of new infantry unit. The others have their rumors/leaks accounted for.

They explicitly called junk and the stuff Helsmith students make while learning.

So basically they are high school science projects the Helsmiths aren't going to risk giving to their own troops.

Boole said 5th edition starter set will be Death and that it is not OBR. Unless a new Death faction is introduced, we have 3 choices.

Nighthaunt already were a starter faction, so unlikely. Soulblight got a large update this edition.

So FEC?

>>97640527
FEC are the game directors main army and obvious studio darlings so its a likely choice

>>97640584
Vampirates are basically sea Soulblight, making entire new faction that is just sea Soulblight is a bit shallow. Add them to Soulblight and done.

Game already has far too many factions.

>>97639862
Does look like they are bigger. They just hunch over.

>>97639862
I wish there was more continuity and some way of running them together. Maybe we could've gotten tankier Hobgrots or pure range instead of Slittaz v.2 but they may as well be a different race because of how different they look

>>97640584
VCoast is never happening for either game

>>97640674
The only major difference is the cloaks, the armor is the same besides the kruleboyz, bump, things and the vandalz are more hunched over

>>97640569
Do you do anything 25 times and not get better at it? That's how powercreep works.

>>97640527
The fact Boole said it is not OBR makes me thinm it is one of three Death factions and not a new one.

If it was new faction, he would just say Death and be silent.

By saying not OBR, he is limiting the number, implying that one of three is starter faction.

I think it is likely FEC end up being starter faction.

>>97640744
To be fair wasn't that kind of in response to people on tga theorycrafting about obr being in the starter

>>97640776
You are could be right.

Still, I could see FEC being starter set faction for 5th edition.

Vampirates are nautical Soulblight. Make them another dynasty.

>so now there are warclan hobgrots, warclan hobgrots that trade captives with the dwarfs for industrial refuses turned equipment, non-warclan hobgrots that work as partners with the dwarfs, and hobgrots that are enslaved by the dwarfs
the above must be clearly read under the lens that the hobgrots engineered a falseflag, revealed the location of the tunnels they probably dug as slaves, and played both sides so that they would come out as necessary intermediates where an alliance between orcs and dwarfs would have probably ended up with them getting the short end of the stick

>>97640888

The thing is "Vampirates" are only nominally Vampires. Basically just Luthor Harkon really. The actual thing that makes them unique is the hordes of zombie pirates with guns.

Basically what I'm saying is they could easily do a Zombie Pirate army that's completely divorced from Soulblight.

Oh hello no games secondary. I see you're spewing bullshit again. RDP was fucking AWFUL in 2nd edition when OBR launched, and this new iteration sucks even more!

So please, shut the fuck up and go faceplant a railroad spike, you disingenuous nigger.

>>97641183
I don't sacrosanct will be making a return as the 5th edition starter, or at least they won't be the main course. I think they'll probably redo vanguard stormies first since those are the remaining fatcast. Maybe include extremis too and have a few dracoths in the box.
As for their antagonists I'm less sure. Obr has been ruled out, sbgl is kind of bloated already, nighthaunt has been done before, and while fec are a fan favourite I'm not sure they appeal enough to the 12 year olds and their mothers looking to buy them a gift who are a huge part of the target demographic of these starter boxes.
Speaking of I think they should go a bit lower in volume of models and price, skaventide was great savings but a bit intimidating for newcomers at like 250 dollars or whatever it was.
I guess 11th edition 40k starter box might be a good indicator for that

>>97640527

Anon, mothers bought starter sets with Skaven and Nighthaunt, both who have tons of gruesome and horror elements.

If Death is indedd 5th starter faction, then it is either FEC or a brand new Death faction.

FEC are beloved by AoS community AND designers at GW. They sold really fucking good.

The one reason why I do not see them as starter faction is because I can not see them as big bad of 5th edition. Not large enough for story impact.

>>97641441
It's not so much the horror aspect that I think would be the problem, just that they're not as recognizable as say skaven (massive secondary popularity) or nighthaunt (bedsheet ghosts are a classic). Even the more out there kruleboyz were kind of recognizable as lotr orcs or whatever. Fec are like I said a fan favourite among aos fans, but a major goal of these starter boxes is precisely to reel in non aos-players, and I think the fec gimmick of "bloodthirsty ghouls who believe themselves to be noble lords" doesn't read as immediate as "ghosts" and "orcs".

>>97641183
FEC are a creative goldmine.

People here had so many amazing fucking ideas for new heroes, units, monsters.

Had a really good game today, tried out the new OBR tome. Really, really like it, much more fun than the faction pack. A blob of Immortis+Mortek+Soulreaper was great and stonewalled the fuck out of Morathi (turning off her crit mortals was insanely useful, and the Shard of Necris protected the Soulreaper very well).I was running out of RDP a lot, even with 10 from Katakros and zero shooting in the list, but I do think I was probably overspending. The on demand 5+ ward is sweet, as is the +1 to wound. I was playing the minimum 4 run battle formation, so I rarely had to give extra movement, but retreat and charge came in handy several times. New Kavalos are a fucking meme, they suck shit in combat but they're so mobile it basically doesn't matter. I didn't have a liege-kavalos with them and only a single unit of deathriders, but next time I'm gonna experiment with Imperious Will and a liege-kavalos along with two units of deathriders, that seems like a funny package, and a potential 6d3 mortals on top of the liege-kavalos attacks doesn't seem terrible either. All in all, happy the battletome is fun, and looking forward to more outings for my boners.

nah, if physical sales didn't matter anymore DC comics anymore wouldn't be banging on about how Absolute Batman reached its 11th printing or how Marvel wouldn't restrict certain series like Punisher or Blade to being physical only with no digital release.
If digital services mattered than Marvel Unlimited wouldn't be Gimped to being on a three-month delay from when they release in LCSs as anyone who wanted to read those comics digitally will just get a pirated copy.
LCSs have a very large influence on the comic industry which wouldn't be the case if Floppy sales didn't matter anymore

>>97640728
Or... they could have a plan in place for the entire edition for general power for armies and at least a rough draft for every army book before the edition launches so that things stay roughly equal and they can do minor updates as needed. You know, like a competent game maker would when they insist of spreading book releases out over years instead of having every army in a playable state day one.

If you manage to fit everything together they look decent though, and are one of the only places to find some variety in the nighthaunt look.

What do Inquisitors have in terms of anti astartes weapons? Say an ordos hereticus Inquisitor comes across a strike team of marines deviating into heresy, what might the Inquisition call upon?

Just ignore this fag, he's just a ragebaiter. No one who's a "true" OBR fan actually gives *that* much of a shit about being an OBR fan, unless their life was completely devoid of purpose otherwise. I'd bet my life savings he doesn't even own a single built or painted OBR model. Probably bought a Spearhead that's just gathering dust in his room, and now he's short of cash but seethes at the idea of selling it at a loss, so now he's desperately trying to hype himself and his choice of faction up, so he doesn't cry himself to sleep over his wasted money.

Better question: When is Nighthaunt going to get a model that doesn't look or play the same as every single other model in its range? Nighthaunt is seriously one of the coolest-looking factions in AoS... if you only plan to collect the hero models (and the coach) and nothing else, because holy shit is it dull as fuck when you actually try to build a complete NH army. Every infantry unit does the same thing, so there's no point in playing anything other than spamming whatever happens to be cheapest at the time, and every bedsheet ghost looks the fucking same, so it's utterly boring to display, as well.

I can already imagine a sunk-cost NH player trying to refute this:
>Nuh uh! This bedsheet ghost has a sword, but *this* bedsheet ghost has a scythe! They're totally different!
This is exactly the kind of brainless sheep GW loves to have as a customer.

Our first Seraphon rumour has arrived

I don't think ghouls will be in the starter, I'm betting on zombies
but ghoul could get arbitrarily dangerous the moment their madness gets even more infectious

I can imagine a plotline that involves the blisterkin doing something in hysh so that for a single day everyone in all other realms goes crazy like a ghoul
one single day like that can be a historical moment of the timeline and change the realms' status quo

oh shit let's fucking go

>>97641961
We must have spindlier models
Everything must snap

>>97643571
Cool i guess. Did this ever had an official model or were they putting them on art for 30 years without making it?

>>97643679
It's never been a real model.

>>97643685
the model he posted was a real model
but it's very very old warhammer
