The rage/controversy over the new models seems ultra fake. The models are good and above average, the armor is odd from a lore perspective that's all. Elite combat infantry with a good save will be quite good in the army if it retains its buff-stacking playstyle.

Pretty disappointing, not opposed to an army's visual identity changing if its good (see Wood Elves --> Slyvaneth) but today's new models are just so muted and gay. Can't stand the random holes in the bodysuit either.
Just watered down to appeal to feminists...

Have the picture of my closest game in a long time from last month. Wind spirit not failing his 3+ rampage would’ve won me the game. I didn’t bother taking a picture of the game after that because it was such a stomp. Please enjoy my probably garbage deployment.
Hoping we get the loomie book scanned soon, I want to read the lore.
>>
>>
>>97646095
I think the new models look pretty good. I just don't really get the lore, because they have the same 'go unarmored to show skill in combat' as drukhari and elves don't really lose physical ability as they age so even though these are presumably witch milfs they shouldn't NEED armor vs. the choice to wear it.
But I think the champion and standard bearer are really nice models and the unit as a whole is pretty solid. They'll paint very nice in red/blood-slicked armor.
I hope they are actually a good combat unit and don't have just have the do mortals on charge/when charged the blurb implies. I'm not asking for Chosen but something Chosen-adjacent would be really nice in the army.

They are pretty similar man. The Scathborn are different because they have the whole 'we are literally our god' thing going on, but the regular witch elves aren't massively different apart from being more female supremacist.
>>
>>97646166
>Because random shit like that is literally fashion.
Find me set of clothing with random holes in the upper arm area and also sometimes on random other parts of the body, because actual fashion uses holes and gaps in cloth for emphasis (like putting a hole between the bust and hips to emphasize both of them).
You don't actually understand fashion. Which explains why you like garbage models. No taste.

This is weird and a very obvious unrestrained CAD job on an otherwise excellent model. A simple gemstone or pattern would have been much better. Posing is great but bizarre knee ornament really takes away from it.

>>97646211
Yeah. I'm so high on the base model: great pose, great silhouette, great face. The hair adds to the sense of motion, even the hero rock isn't too stupid because it's like a downward stroke. But the knee really breaks up the visual profile and I think something more muted would have been much better.
>>
>>97646200
It's on a few of the other models too if you look closely, though the one on the champion is more pronounced obviously. I kinda like it, random faces on the knees are very warhammer imo. Though the spikes are maybe a bit much.
The champion is easily the best model of the lot too, great posing. Love the sword too, I hope the others get it as an option too but from the description and pics they gave it doesn't sound like it, which is a shame.

NTA but that sounds like a junior sculptor was in charge of the main part and a more senior sculptor got to make passes to try and correct the models. We know sculpts are a team endeavor and no longer are attributed to a single person.

Before I go on Google I just gotta ask when I do show you a bunch of clothes from low and high fashion with random holes on it what’s going to be your argument? Are you going to suddenly concede like a normal person that’s it’s fashion or just move the goalposts and say it’s ugly or something?

You already googled and couldn't find anything like the shitty new sculpts, so you're doing this to try and get a win where you wouldn't be able to.

incredibly boring new shrine thats so much worse than the old bloodwrack shrine, and heavily armored units for the monster girls and naked woman faction. I'm not a DoK fan by any stretch, but I don't see they would be happy about this. At least this pretty much confirms they're going to be shotgunning these battle tomes out every other week in the lead up to 40kek 11th. Decent odds we get the Cogfort/ogor refresh announcement before summer.

The bloodwrack shrine is responsible for like half the warscrolls in DoK, which isn't the most varied army anyway. Though they're probably getting souped with umbraneth in 5th, so I guess that's not that big of a deal anyway.
...actually, could the new unit be more covered up to serve as a bridge between malerion's units and the existing witch elves, aesthetically?

This could actualy be an intresting spin on the "more mutated" shit coming from the cauldron and the history of Morathi hidding the more mutated parts of her race, with some hints of deformities below the veil. Like maybe a very strong breed to good to pass upon, but too horifying to see/show.

"Decorative face on the knee" has been a warhammer thing since forever, it's everywhere in old art.
Dark elves specifically had it too, not quite as old but the 8e cover (by dainton I believe) has something similar going on.
Also gordrakk's is obviously a little different since it's a trophy helmet instead of just a sculpted face in the armour.

An annoying thing is, since the elves are wearing a black body suit you kinda have to paint them in light skin colors to have that contrast.
Otherwise if you like having them be dusky it'll just look goofy.

I hope not. TOW is good because of the player spirit of conversion and homebrew, all shuttling this game down and moving people to Old World would accomplish is drag people that demand a toy e-sport experience to a game alien to it and would in turn ruin it further.

This game has always had the stink of a corpse about it. From the very beginning the universe and """lore""" was a failure: something doodled on the back of a beer mat by an underpaid intern at the Nottingham Canalhouse. It was born entirely out of corporate greed from non-hobby suits who destroyed the beloved WHFB to create it.
Every original idea AoS has tried to sell has failed. The entire lifespan of the game is a succession of flop after flop. The only times it has had any small measure of success is when it's taken a WHFB concept and reimagined it, usually by adding women and blacks. The game cannot "die" because it is already dead, it has never been alive. It was born from a corpse and has always been a corpse itself.
Accept the final failure of your embarrassing counterfeit and take comfort in the knowledge Nagash won.

You just know that a bunch of fags who don't care are going to buy it up though, thus showing GW that it's a good model and they should do more like that. Especially if it has good rules. WAACfags will buy fucking anything if it makes their army stronger. Look at the dogshit space marines that GW puts out. The Desolation nerf guns, the travesty that was the whole Blood Angels line, the go kart...
Anon is being a little overdramatic with the lizard comparison, but he's not totally off base either.

>aos was outselling fantasy...
Well when Fantasy straight up wasn't selling, it's not a hard bar to clear. New players weren't getting in because it was a huge time and money commitment to get even a smal army going and old players had the armies they wanted. An occasional purchase by a guy who already has 3 full armies can't sustain a game. So even the awful models AOS launched with were more than enough to outsell Fantasy.

a lot of total war secondaries have a chip on their shoulder that AoS is more popular than fantasy ever was.

I don’t play AoS I play TOW I just want you to know I don’t have AoS nor do actual TOW players afaik. Personally I want AoS to always exist beside TOW as a sort of containment setting for the more ideologically driven designers/investors at GW. That way TOW can be keep being billed as the historical setting and respect the logical consistency of the setting regarding stuff like demographics.

>>97647223
I don't think it's that because secondaries wouldn't even know how good (or bad) whfb was compared to aos, popularity wise.
I think it's just a case of whfb grogs telling them aos was responsible for the end times and fantasy getting shitcanned when twwh1 came out, and them just running with that for a decade plus. It's why you'll frequently see them bring up the no points thing or the joke rules 10 years later because those were the big things to get mad about at the time.

The rumours come from credible sources, the refresh is 100% coming. As for playstyle that might also change, especially if unit sizes change. Right now they're glassier than you probably expect, they can't take a hit as well as you'd think.

the best way to proxy them is by using the shrine maidens of the cauldron's kit, they're literally them in both the use of masks and spears and their role in guarding the shrines.
just gotta replace them with normal bitch elves on the cauldron or leave the cauldron emptier than normal

Looks kino. Could also make the creases cuts or scars, though honestly if you just paint them the same flesh colour I don't think they'd show up all that much if you don't highlight them.
The random holes are going to be a problem though, wouldn't be too difficult to just fill them up with some greenstuff or the like I suppose.

Lizardmen were always around? Literally the first battletome of the game after the two launch box factions.
Anyway of the ones you mentioned only really Lizardmen and Skaven can really be considered barely altered. Maybe vampires too until they went all slavic/barrow direction.

Anyone played against new OBR yet?
I'm trying to understand if the "strikes first" spell overrides "strike last" effect from new Katakros command.
Because, if it is, it allows OBR to attack twice in the row.
Seems pretty busted, provided you can teleport Katakros to the attacking unit to issue the command

it never made much sense to me, I always took it as trolling or human nature for people to pick a tribe and sling shit.
The ironic part is it's the same god damn company that makes both games and is profiting no matter what angle you look at it from, and if there is an internal competition it's more against 40k than the small slice of pie that both AoS and TOW hold which is what I really want to see grow.
Also being a player of both games, I'd rather not see TOW get shrimpified which seems to happen more often to non-specialist games.

this guy just straight up admits to it >>97646154

The last full /wfg/ thread (also around 400 replies) >>97636457 mentions aos in 20 different unique posts, plus one "smegmar", bringing our total up to 21.
21>17, ergo, aos lives rent free in /wfg/'s head more than vice versa.

That is really strange. Assuming you’re priming correctly.
I know the early batch of wpf’s are somewhat hydrophobic and I have a couple that don’t like getting thinned down or staying wet for long but they’ve apparently fixed that in later batches. Ice Yellow and Tomb King Tan, but I haven’t had the issue of them not adhering.

>normal
yes, this thread is filled with shitstirrers as we've established, and the previous one was up to 700+ replies and wouldn't have been good to compare to the last wfg thread, which is slightly above 400.
(although tow is actually mentioned about the same in the 700 reply thread as in the 400 reply thread, so it doesn't even really matter.
QED, anons btfo yet again, go back, etc etc.
>>
>>97650364
That doesn't help though.
The ability only grants strike last for the second attack. Unless you are trying to say that since the unit has strike first, the strike last, which only effects the second effect, overrides the strike first, and at this point the unit can essentially strike twice at the normal combat initiative.
If you are the active player facing no opposing strike first, this is actually a huge buff. Instead of potentially having to wait until the opponents entire army strikes you before hitting a second time in the strike last portion of the phase, you can attack first, wait a single activation, then immediately strike again.
Wouldn't it make more sense that you would get your strike first, and then the strike last kicks in for the second attack, meaning you are waiting until the strike last phase for your second strike?
To be clear, this is really only a fucking issue because they started doing this faggot 'fight twice but the second time MUST have strike last' bullshit stipulation that never use to exist.

They've definitely become more of a "collector's item" as it were, even compared to say 10 years ago. But yeah there's a reason they love putting these in army sets, the sales must've dropped dramatically (relative to the rest of their products of course).
Y'know personally if they brought out the opposite of the gamer's edition that is just lore and paint guides and artwork and none of the rules stuff for a lower price I'd actually be somewhat inclined. That's the only real reason to buy these books nowadays anyway.
>>
I really hate the rules for kharadron. Ships need to come down, like 200 for a frigate, 300 for an ironclad, 100 for a gunhauler, and adjust the profiles accordingly
With ships more expensive than greater daemons and troops more expensive ppm than ogres for a 2 health dwarf, it's miserable to build lists for. I get a couple boats and like 15 guys. If you have to nerf the damage or the speed or the health or whatever, make it happen, but I just fantasy stand how I can't even field half my collection in a single list. Every edition they just keep getting more elite and more sparse, it looked like salvagers might finally give us something we can field a decent amount of and then those went up in pts 40% overnight
Fuck, I just want to put an army on the table, not a 10 man skirmish squad and their 500pt taxi
>>
>>
>>
>>97652099
Awful awful take. KO is the transport faction and the whole point is having boats to maneuver your dwarves so they can shoot at range safely. They’re a high tech society with metal armor, guns and flying units, of course they're more elite than the average spear wielding horse riding faction. What you want is to have your cake and eat it too. You can very reasonably field one of each boat and a decent amount of infantry, they dont need a points decrease

He's technically his own thing, more into the shadow bullshit of malerion than morathi'a khaine murder stuff, though thematically he's much closer to the latter of course (unlike say saih).
I kinda dig him honestly. As "witch elf but male" he works pretty well. I wonder if malerion's guys will have a unit like that, though that's probably a long shot.
Speaking of, I do hope malerion's guys don't look too much like the existing shadow stalker stuff of DoK. I actually really like saih but the two warcry/uw warbands felt pretty meh to me, except for the leaders I guess. Dunno why.
>>
>>97652152
taking one of each boat and 2 small foot heroes for detachments to put them in already sets you back 1200-1300pts
you get absolutely nothing left to work with to actually build an army. a """transport army" doesnt work when the fucking transports take up the first 2/3s of your armies points
imagine a dark eldar 40k army where each raider cost 500pts and each venom is 300pts. its god damn insane

transport capacity wouldnt really help because you would still only be left with 700pts, and all the transport capacity in the world wont help you when you dont have points left to take the dudes you want to transport

I meant if you increased the transport capacity you wouldn't need to take quite as many boats.
I get what you mean by wanting one if each, but at the end of the day they are just pretty big models. The arkanaut *is* effectively your big centrepiece god model. In fact I think it's quite literally priced the same as nagash, and that guy is like 800 points. (To be fair on the other end of the spectrum you've got shit like the black coach which is 250 or so).
If you take two frigates instead (also quite big models) and a gunhauler you end up at like 750 points, about a third of your list, which I feel is reasonable for the amount of plastic.
>>
>>
>>97652486
That's a bit harsh, the chieftain is certainly head and shoulders above the rest, but most of the darkoath are fine. Savagers are just marauders but better in every way, (even though I'm still not super fond of the kit besides the few obvious greats). Fellriders are decent, the warqueen is fine, chieftain on horse is really nice. Then you've got some other cool models like the gnarlspirit pack or the commemorative split eye guy. Oh and the wilderfiend, which I admit is kind of odd but has grown on me somewhat. I'll concede he's not everyone's cup of tea though.
Yeah no I think the range has potential it's just let down by its most basic troop choice being so utterly garbage, genuinely on par with kamendora's blades as one of aos' worst kits.
Oh, and the fact that they're kind of forever stuck as chaff and can't get much room to expand beyond that because they share their range with the ultra elite warriors of chaos.at least there's like 15 different flavours of warcry warbands you can use as marauder replacements, if you can find them

They clash too hard with the rest of the darkoath range, and since there's only the marauders and horse marauders that might be a problem unless you specifically only want those two units in your StD army.
