There are three of them right now:
Stirland, Empire - Karl Gerard, younger brother of Karl Gustav who succumbed to his old wounds after he withstood many battles against greenskins, the undead, and, unfortunately, even some dwarves over minor (or major, depending on if you are a dwarf or not) disputes related to some treasures from a long lost hold. Gerard tries to move into the lands that were held by his brother and reclaim whatever is possible after the collapse that followed his death. So far he was unfortunate, losing one of his brother advisors who withheld the ogre advance so the young noble could retreat.

Vampire Counts - Countess Evelyn, an unbearable arisen who was daring enough to oppose her lord when he was at his weakest after robbing dwarven crypts and losing most of his necromancers. While he may have put his hand on many ancient bodies and treasures, his forces were depleted enough that he had to flee to save his hide. Right now he's biding his time and slowly regaining power. Who knows, he may still get back what he lost from one of his old subordinates.

Chaos - Khragdob the trollkin (with his trusty trolls almost finished in the background). Very little is known about this warlord who only recently descended on the shores of Border Princes. So far he has managed to subdue a small beastmen herd led by a wargor named Ghrull. His story is yet to be told.

>>97882216
Driving rn but my models weren’t painted due to the short notice and his models were mostly not painted (various states of unpainted to WIP) so ngl i’d be embarrassed to show pictures but the long and short of it was she wiped out a unit of huscarls with pistoliers, melee didn’t start till turn 3, in which it was a deadlock until my other unit of huscarls with my exalted champion came in and routed them, and then were ran down by a unit of berserkers not in combat, who then in turn 5 got charged by another unit of halberdiers (did I mention my opponent was empire?) and THAT became a deadlock. Eventually some road wardens killed my exalted champions unit of huscarls except for him, and since he was too close to a unit of berserkers he became untargetable by a unit of handgunners with a long rifle engineer in it, who then charged said unit of gunners and made them run for the hills, but was one inch short of running them down. I won by 31 victory points despite losing more points of models because I captured two of his banners and the two banners he killed of mine not being captured. It was my first game and I had a lot of fun

>>97882211
I appreciate the humility, though I can't help but think that a zenithal priming of white over a cream or brown colour could make a good base to work from. Some contrast or washes would make things pop even further. You've got a good idea with the scheme, it's just a matter of execution.

What do you guys think about the rumour that there's a future TK vs WE box coming?
Should I wait before buying into these guys?
>>
>>97883060
I did use a wash, and I'll have to redo the skull and maybe the flowers because of it. It was a desert bone color skull and fey pink flowers with royal purple tips, and they got full on tinted with just the tiniest bit of the wash. The flowers aren't as bad since its going to be purple anyway, but still.
>>
>>97883420
prob true, and (going forward) Bretonnia will be ignored until end times.
>>
>>97883420
I could believe it, but I also think it could be bullshit. The odds of them doing TK as the starter faction twice in a row feel not too high.

>getting into these guys
Which ones? WE or TK? Either way, if the box does come you will probably be able to buy the half you want to expand your collection. And at least for WE I dont see a major update to the model line coming. TK might get skeletons updated? But even that feels like its probably some ways out.

You need more tonal variety and contrast, as the wash is barely noticeable. Also, your light tones are way too light and your darks are too dark.

Power Behind the Throne very well might have killed my campaign. We're 3 years in (including running the Starter Kit) and all of my players are struggling IRL in one way or another and the whole political spy thriller thing after two books of fun mystery action with occasional combat has them overwhelmed.

If, and it's a big if, we somehow continue The Enemy Within, what should I do? We're on Day 3 of Carnival and only just got into the whole Dieter possibly being hypnotized thing, and we're about to investigate Gotthard Wallenstein personally, but I don't think my party, as is, can handle more social investigation RP-heavy stuff.

Otherwise, I might create a campaign off-ramp and just lead the party off on some other adventure, either using pre-existing adventures or making one up based on our party's personal stuff and the consequences of their actions, but I'm concerned that there'd be no overarching plot to guide the party at that point.

Worst case scenario, we shelf the campaign and move on to a different setting entirely, because I'd rather prioritize my players' fun and mental health over trying to force them to continue a campaign they no longer have the energy/willpower to enjoy. Thoughts?

Forgot to take pics, except for my own dudes prior to deployment.
And I faced a wild hunt mounted list, so it was all cavalry except for beastmasters and the wizard (who could fly).
A combination of my inexperience of facing any type of elves, along with a not optimal deployment (due to the first reason) and the typical bad luck of the die lead me to lose the game. Had fun though, and is what’s most important.

I just wrapped “the horned rat”

For my party I did 2 things that really helped the flow:

1 I LOOSELY followed the book and picked out a bunch of story beats I liked, and let my party basically discover the events they wanted to discover. We ended up doing a lot of things out of order, but as long as the big scenes (saving the law lords kidnapped daughter, the garden party, and the attempt on the grafs life) happened, then everything else was just improv.

2. I ran the first bit of “the horned rat” at the same time. Untangling the two intrigues was a mental challenge, but the cover of a more obvious “skaven plot” helped to provide tangible leads to follow up on that weren’t direct red herrings, and it made for a smoother transition into the later encounters in the 4th book.

I recommend for your players that you let them describe the scene they want to have, and feed them the necessary information, even if the scene doesn’t match the exact dialogue or setting of the book.
>>
>>97882211
Dip them in pic related. Give a drybrush of original base color. Spray matt / satin varnish if you want to get rid of the gloss.

That's about 5-10 minutes of work for infinitely better result

>>97883254
Nicely painted but I fucking hate that model. Straight out of Warcraft. I hope if they ever refresh Empire models this won't be the style they will go for.


>>97883420
Highly doubt it because starter boxes usually contain popular factions.

That's how I personally think Empire should be played. I'm building a combined arms list myself. Wont be very competitive but atleast it will look good.

Mechanically? No. Demons are a faction built around their soup, and monogod has no reward for doing it at the cost of "most of your roster and flexibility"

You CAN, and some are stronger than others (tzeench monogod is pretty doable, or was back in the day) but in general you want to mix gods because all your best units are spread out all over the place

>>97881354
More of a more question. But my group has decided we're doing a short game in the WHF setting. Now, I know basically zilch about WHF outside of a bit or random Vermintide 2 stuff, dwarves and their grudge, and no one liking Skaven.

After a quick search I decided I'm going to play an Ogre Leadbelcher merc, mainly because the idea of being a big guy shooting a cannon with his bare hands, then clubbing people with it hilarious. What should I know about Ogres if I want to be the most Ogre possible? I've been filled in that they're always hungry, but that's about all I picked up so far.
>>
>>97887356
Ogre mercs and maneaters usually pick up the culture where they are at, so if he is new to the area he can be asking questions like; Why everyone wears the silly hats (and where he can get one), why that person (a general, priest, etc) is important, and what creatures this land has to offer his palate.
>>
>>97887356
>What should I know about Ogres if I want to be the most Ogre possible?
Honestly, ogres are pretty self-explanatory. Big dumb brutes who like eating and fighting a whole lot and are just smart enough to realise that money can be exchanged for goods and services like food.

Their only real quirk is how surprisingly open-minded they are. Ogres can get on with and later try and mimick almost any culture, whether its chaos, elves, dwarfs, empire or whatever else. Theyre incredibly "mentally flexible" in the sense that theres no "ew, don't like those" at least on a cultural level.
>>
>>97887356
ogres are very hungry
ogres are not dumb, they're merely strong enough that the brutal option for solving their problems is more often than not more than sufficient, so they rarely need to flex their brain muscle, but when they do, they can be scary clever
ogres are very hungry
ogres are weirdly adaptable, mercenary work isn't rare for them and when they stay long enough in one place they end up absorbing the culture, or at least the fashion, of their employers
ogres are very hungry
ogres are not fat, most of their bulk is muscle, think of them less like a very big fat man and more like a human-shaped hippopotamus, if you bother to know or go check their musculature
ogres are very hungry
ogres come from the east, slightly west of the not!china empire of warhammer, they began migrating west after they devoured so much in the region that the chinese sent a meteorite after them, devastating that part of the world, that meteorite formed a crater that the ogres worship as the great maw
ogres are very hungry
the meteorite wasn't a normal meteorite, and the crater isn't a normal crater, it's genuinely a god in the physical world, an abyss into the earth of hungry flesh and enormous teeth that bored to the other end of the world in a second similar abyss in the ocean
ogres are very hungry
the great maw is in the back of the mind of every ogre, they pay homage to it, they respect it, but it curses them with an unnatural hunger and sometimes even less natural compulsions, making the pilgrimage to reach the great maw and actually come back is difficult
>>
>>97887635
ogres are very hungry
a lean belly is a sign of weakness and abnormality in ogre society, kids born too slim are abandoned in caves where they become troglodytic savages, while large bellies are respected and admired
ogres are very hungry
ogre skin is thick enough, and the layers of fat and muscle even more so, that ogres don't really need armor for the most part, and they are so immune to pain that it's not uncommon for them to have very brutal "piercing", or even just knives and hooks piercing their skin as a convention way to carry things along
ogres are very hungry
the two pieces of armor they most often use are the gutplate and an armoured fist, only the butchers go without gutplate in their society
ogres are very hungry
ogres can digest pretty much anything, and if you can imagine their strongest stomachs as akin to natural cauldrons, then you won't be surprised by the fact ogre butchers practice gastromancy, culinary magic, where they devour (sometimes cook) magical ingredients as a mean to unleash spells
ogres are very hungry
ogres, like most other races of the world were uplifted by the unfathomably powerful god-like race known as the old ones, nobody truly remembers them, or knows this, but ogres were made as a last ditch attempt by this race to create a species that would be resistant to chaos, and while chaos ogres do exist, it takes so much exposure to chaos for an ogre before it starts manifesting mutations that it could be argued the old ones succeeded
>>
>>97887639
ogres are very hungry
you know who else is also very hungry? halflings, it's not exactly known, but halflings were uplifted in parallel with ogres and the two share a sort of natural kinship despite their differences
ogres are very hungry
you know who doesn't share a kinship with ogres? giants; the lands where ogres first live in was very much adjacent to the mountain kingdom of the skytitans, and before the chinese hurled a comet at the ogres, the ogres had laid siege to those mountains and devoured the giants. the giants that are left on the world are degenerated inbred descendants, smaller and dumber. and the ogres still take pleasure in breaking them and enslaving them
ogres are very hungry
ogres first saw gunpowder in those wars against the giants, because the giants employed enormous cannons against them, when the giants were toppled, the ogres repurposed to cannons, mounting them on heavy chariots. leadbelchers similarly repurpose smaller cannons, but they don't need chariots for those
ogres are very hungry
ogres don't have a written culture, they have oral traditions and tales and stories of ogres that made great things, amassing names and epithets to oneself is perhaps the second thing ogres most want to do after amassing food
ogres are very hungry
>>
>>97887635
>ogres are not dumb
Anon, the smartest ogre alive is "nearly human" in terms of their intellect (and thats thanks to a magic crown).

Ogres arent trolls, but they are dumb.
>>
>>97887643
>, and before the chinese hurled a comet at the ogres, the ogres had laid siege to those mountains and devoured the giants.
No, that was after. The ogres used to live in the plains near cathay alongside the humans, and were only forced into the mountains of the sky titans by the coming of the maw (and later forced from those peaks by weird weather).

Good to know. We're mostly running towards a mountain currently on a job, though I took the hungry cue and ordered an entire cow's worth of ribs for lunch(and saying I'm eating light because I'm leaving for a job). And when we found some dead guys by the side of the road, I pulled the limbs off one to snack on while we walk, which the DM said was getting into the Ogre spirit.

Sounds like you have the spirit of things.

if youre worried about being too "one note" (which could end up the case if youre JUST "I eat things - the person") consider what quirks your leadbelcher has. Is he particularly trusting/does he have some sort of "Leader"/"manager" in the party? Is he particularly mercenary, a miser who will shake everyone down for all theyre worth? Is he particularly open minded and tries to mimic what others do (even if probably superficially/without really "getting it")?

But yea: Big bastard, likes to eat, likes to fight. Sounds like you get it.

In the first Cathay AJ it outlines that the Ogres had started to encroach onto Sky Titan territory prior to the meteor, prompting the Dragon Emperor to share the secret of black powder with them to try and push them back. The meteor came after to help them out because things weren’t getting better, but it ended up pushing all the ogres into Sky Titan territory, eventually overrunning their fortresses and wiping them out. Considering Ogres got their magic from the Great Maw, caused by the meteor, and their guns and siege cannons from the Sky Titans, Cathay is responsible for unleashing quite the menace of a faction onto The Old World and I’m surprised it was sort of just glossed over. Maybe if Ogres get introduced into the game proper they’ll address it lmao.
>>
>>97888188
I have not read that. But prior lore is pretty clear: The Dragon Emperor summoned the Maw because ogres kept eating cathayan peasants, their homeland (and most of their race) destroyed the Ogres were forced into the sky-titan peaks where they encountered and eventually devoured the solitary giants until magically destructive weather forced them even further into the mountains of mourn.

>and a seat of low prestige.
It feels like you're shooting yourself in the foot by defining the place as not being of particular renown and prestige and then base both of the elven brothers' stories about the claim of this place.
If I were to add or revise something I'd try to make their deal a much more personal affair, so hear me out
>the younger brother was actually the firstborn between the two, but he was born with magical potential, so the parents faked whatever birth certificate dark elves have and sent him as hostage so he wouldn't get killed due to malekith's laws
now the "younger" brother has a much more personal vendetta against your dude because in his eyes he would feel robbed of his life (being male wizard hostage in the cult of khaine must not be very comfortable. and in true DE egocentrism he wouldn't stop to consider the inner causes of how his life turned, namely his wizard powers, but only the external actors: his parents for not finding a better way to cheat the system, and his brother for living the life meant for him)

and on the other side of this rivalry I think your dude's real interest in the location could be stronger; you say he was thought to be dabbling in dark things that were around the place, perhaps getting dethroned made him lose access to those and that's the real treasure he's after, more than the prestige of the tower. or furthermore losing those sites could be why he had to escalate his dealings with chaos, maybe he was already making pacts with slaanesh but those weirder ruins gave him an edge in the interactions so he wouldn't need to dip too much into chaos shit personally, so now his soul is without those leverages and he's forced to serve directly until he gets back to his antique toys and their fix.

also I don't think I've seen one of the two monsters he rides, the text isn't descriptive there, I assume you're the guy with the fell beast conversion

>>
>>97888626
Yes, also a carnosaur (one of the old ones), which really feels more about the size of what the cold ones are described as in the malus darkblade books. So thats the cold one.

As for the other suggestions/notes? Ill keep them in mind. I made Kar Khareth "minor" because for one thing I didnt want as much baggage about established politics, and a smaller fortress far out east feelt like a good way to have a "bottle setting" in a sense. Plus it feels quite dark elven to have a big feud over some sad fucking chunk of rock in the midle of the wastes whos main purpose nowadays is to stop chaos barbarians from reaching anywhere nicer. Its like Naggor I guess.

Making his brother the actual elder and a dark wizard could be interesting, even if having him be "actually the rightful heir" adds something to the dynamic too imo. "A younger brother deposed by a powerful older sibling with dark powers" and "the older and more conventionally powerful sibling overthrown by a younger sniveling wretch" are a bit different as far relationships go. But I do think its a good call to add a bit more to "why he wants to come back".

The "dabbling in dark powers" thing was in my head a lie, the sort of slander someone might spread to forment dissent about someone. I could imagine his younger sibling dropping hints that he/his father were actually dabbling in the sorcerous arts or chaos cultists or something, just enough to present a cassus belli for those with axes to grind anyways. But making it true could also be cool, maybe his expeditions up north produced some interesting finds and he started getting into that shit.

What kind of goals and personality would you give to a Tomb Kings society-centric story? I am going to have some living people among them from Numas but I'm also going to make Settra the Imperishable a bit of a substitute father figure for a young girl. I do intend for him to be big in his goals but not some incompetent dude who wants to be praised for doing nothing but be praised for doing awesome. He still wants everything that called promised him in life and he does not want his subjects to a main mindless and tomaton in general among his average Tomb people.
>>
>>97888658
Not really. Summoning the maw, like summoning tidal waves (another thing he has been known to do) is a "get of my lawn" move against forces cathay cant fight conventionally (like the dark elves).

The Maw (if "The Maw" was even the intended summon, and not just "a meteor") was meant to kill the ogres, and it did, them fleeing to the peaks of the sky titans and subsequently killing them was an unintended consequence which the dragon emperor had both no real ways of stopping or knowing would happen.
There was also no real connection between cathay and the sky titans (until now I guess).

At the end of the day the dragon emperor nuked them from orbit, if the survivors were enough to eat the sky titans theres not really much more he could have done had he not nuked them (because the Maw DID kill most of the ogres)

None. But in those books cold ones are multi-tonne behemoths. In the first book, a couple of berserk cold ones effortlessly smash through an entire phalanx like its not there, and in the chaos wastes Spite fights whole herds of beastmen.

In the game art proper (and models) theyre more horse size, still vicious but clearly more "velociraptor" tier. But in those books theyre true monstrous cavalry.
>>
>>97888911
Compare that art to something like this. And remember Spite is supposed to be a smaller example of a cold one.

Its a "black library-ism", theyre obviously not actually that size "really" and its the books taking liberties, but since I had a conveniently cold one shaped mount of a monstrous cavalry size, I figured I may as well play into it. So instead of a dwarf carnosaur im saying hes riding a particularly big cold one (counts as Daemonic Mount)

Hey Anons, how do WFB 4th and 5th editions play? My brother and I are getting into the game again and I’m wondering if it’s worth learning them or just brushing up on 6th edition instead.

I’m looking for a game that has the characterful rules and charm of older editions, but is also fairly easy to learn. Also, how necessary are the magic cards and stuff? I’m concerned those would be a limiting factor.

If you can stand a 5-minute trip into goybook, I'd strongly suggest you look into Warhammer Renaissance, it's a fan created ruleset that merges the best parts of 4th & 5th, whilst adding some quality of life from 6th & 7th and filing off most of the jank. It has really comprehensive army lists for pretty much every army, it plays fast and feels like the oldies.
You can also find the magic and item card scans in the same group, they can be printed at home with little hassle.

kino, soul, will ask someone to try it out. Although theres no way its balanced right? Im sure you can build a chaos abomination that will kick a dragons ass.

Yea, doing some napkin maths you can build a chaos dragon (sans 2nd breath weapon) for 300~pts

Then for an extra 45pts you make it T10, and then you can add more wounds too. Or make it ignore armor saves (not that you NEED it at S7). The chaos abomination seems really good. As it should be I guess given its a "general unlock" in a warriors of chaos army and the other marks do quite a lot for you.

It's huge, particularly in 4th edition where both players can cast spells during each magic phase. Things are a bit random and break easily, but it's also loads of fun. There's over a hundred spells, though many of them have similar effects.
It's not exactly mandatory, but many armies can benefit a lot from using it.
>>
>>97890557
Me too, much prefer these lads to the mudcore plastics. One of them is an oldhammer knight iirc, but he works perfectly as a militant grail monk, maybe a pious veteran infantryman who's been on crusade and become of the cloth. The other monk is an Empire Warrior Priest I'm converting (literally). I may have to trim the fluting off his breastplate to sell the look.

They're great editions and well worth a shot, especially if you've got a lil' sprinkle of that nostalgia for it.

Getting around the cards is pretty easy, you could just take a pack of regular playing cards and write on their faces (22 power, 8 dispels, 1 each of 6 unique cards).

As long as you have a pdf of the rules you can fill in the blanks no problem.

>>97890626
I say this as a beastman model poster that owns no centigors and has never played with them but if I were to I would give them ambush and great weapons.

GW thought it would be funny to make them initiative 2 so going down to I1 is basically no penalty at all, and spiking your drunk roll and hitting frenzy to double your now S6 AP2 attacks makes the unit actually slap for its points cost.

Ambush in as late as possible and crash into the flank of something already in combat or hunt a warmachine or something.

How bad was 7th edition balance that I keep hearing about people still playing it using 6th edition army books?
>>
>>97891156
Quite.

Some armies (high elves, demons) were just really silly broken and basically playing a different game. The power creep got so bad they had to emergency kill the edition and do 8th (which is why not all armies got their 7e book).
>>
>>97891260
to be fair it was rare for an edition to give an armybook to all the factions
>>
>>97890798
>What makes centigors bad?
Fragile for the cost, unreliable due to drunk. And the damage output isnt that good because they lack lances or the equivalent.
>>
>>97891270
Maybe back in 4th/5th, but by the 2000's/modern warhammer I dont think thats really true any more.
>>
>>97891270
Another point for 6th. I wish the Dogs of War was a real army book like they were in 5th.
>>
>>97890972
Chaos probably. You can build a 2K list from the battalion.

>>97890798
They're pretty expensive for a unit with no armor. The problem is internal balance as beastmen have access to much more better units.

>>97891156

Chaos is historically pretty cheap. The army box gives you a lot of warriors and knights and both are expensive.

A lord on dragon (which you will often field because its one of their few "good" units) is also like 1/4 of your army in pts.
>>
>>97890626
>>97890919
Im the beastwomen player and centigors are wildly under rated. I run the following:

Beastmen Brayherds [341 pts]
Warhoof, Heavy armour, Throwing axes, Shield, Ambushers, Mangelder, Pelt of Midnight - 168
7 Centigor Herd, Great weapons, Throwing axes, Ambushers, Gorehoof (champion) [Scourge of the Burdened] - 173

They operate as a backbone ambush unit to running conjunction with everything else. Scourge of the burdened helps everything that can ambush in some degree, and goes off fairly regularly. Move ungors into position, reposition centigors after shooting to be out of sight. And if you do end up frenzy, you get terror checks and a 17" charge range with warband with 360 degree view. It demands to be answered, and against beastmen which also have crashing front line it causes complex choice.
>>97891273
Susceptibility to magic is their biggest problem, but yes fragility in general. But that's basically all beastmen. They don't do defense.

Assuming you mean first party GW stuff and not 3D print or 3rd party sculpts, which is an entire different calculation, probably WoC.
Aside from those maybe Brets (because of the core box), HElves/WElves and just a shot in the dark maybe Ogre Kingdoms because they don't seem to need many units.
>>
>>97891005
As a Grail Monk, basically acts as a second unit champion. Bretonnia doesn't get many interesting peasant characters unfortunately. Maybe I could house rule him and write my own rules for Warrior Priest-esque prayers, but in most games he'll just be a unit champion. Same with Bertrand the Brigand, I think most games he'll just be my archer unit champion unless my opponent is okay with his old rules.

Everything else is unusable level bad, not even the Wood Elf stuff is salvageable, and the awful Inner Cities of Sigmar niggerslop clad in Playmobil kit isn't even worth saving, you're better off using literally anything else for the amount of work you'd have to put in to make one of the niggers in Fisher-Price-meets-MapleStory armor look like a halfway decent Empire character.

I'm not sure how it looks in TOW. I play 6th and can comment only on that. When you look at three main big boy units, it looks more or less like this. Ogres are the cheapest, and you can kit them out as you want (light/heavy armor, great weapons/additional weapons), which is nice. They are also the cheapest, at 35pts. Minotaurs are clearly the winners when it comes to killing potential with WS4 and I4. They just work and cost 40pts. Trolls, well, they are stupid and cost the most of all of them at 55pts. In theory, regeneration makes them the most resilient, and there's also troll vomit to deal with high armor. But from what I saw, other options outshine them in most of the scenarios you'll encounter on the table. You may ask, then why paint and field them? And here I say that I simply like these dumb freaks, that's good enough for me.

But GW never bothered to follow up on it.

Back in 1st ed smegmar, he was supposed to be a god of Chaos, taking the place of Slaanesh.
Now he gets to be god of his own Realm of Shadow that no one is able to invade, not even GW's writers.
Incidentally Tyrion is still active as a god somewhere but no one seems to know what he's up to.

At least they played off of "Aenarion" for this so I'm more okay with it, but "Malarion" would've made more sense.

I speak the truth. I didn't say that he was wrong or unreliable. Only that he is less reliable than the other rumor mongers, by virtue of having his claims be untested, with DE and VC legacy factions being his first rumor.

I personally also think it's going to happen.

NTG but it's bad when it's pronounced nearly or fully identically to what it's meant to replace. Even a lot of AoS fans don't use abominations like "ogor" or "aelf", and on the 40k side of things, "drukhari" seems to get a lot more use than "aeldari" since the former sounds nothing like "dark eldar".
You would have a better point if you were comparing "dawi" to "duardin".

Thank you anons.

The reason for the colour is purely stylistical.

All my dwarfs have a blue/green colour scheme.
I use a very limited palette and avoid using any red/orange/gold/bronze/yellow etc.

While this isn't a problem for most dwarfs, with slayers I'm very limited since they have little to no clothing. So I decided to try with the hair.

The banner is the first of a series if custom unit banners. Each with the name or the motto of the unit. The hold is Tilean, so I decided to give them latin and italian mottos/names.

There's tons of lore about the hold I used to post here, but this general has been going to shit since the release of TOW so I rarely visit nowadays.

that was a stopgap measure before all the individual books where out so the armies are not completely fleshed out but you can play yes

O&G do quite well with just infantry and monsters. Beastmen, Empire, Cathay, and WoC too. You're only really dependent on cav if you're Bretonnia because you literally have nothing else to do the job of cav, though their infantry game is also great now that Exile infantry and knights on foot are in the mix.

Yes. "Asur"/"druchii"/whatever else are fine, theyre the in universe names that factions would obviously have for themselves.

"aelves" is bad because its just spelling "elves" weird. This isnt even a 40k "asuryani" situation, its just changing eldar to "aeldar" because its presumably easier to copyright.

Duardin on the other hand? Thats fine. I dont like it because I feel like Dawi fits the vibe better, but its not "dworf"

So in other words "most armies do not get dragons". May as well complain chaos and elves dont get cannons.
>>
nobody ever whines about not having manticores or not having mortars

it's almost as if the issue here is that both dragons and cannons should be nerfed
>>
>>97894473
Manticores are available to two factions (dark elves, chaos). Unless you expand it to just mean "flying monster" in which case everyone except like lizardmen, dwarfs and skaven have a "manticore".

Likewise mortars are just stone throwers, which are far more availabe (most factions have one I believe, only lizardmen and elves dont).
>>
>>97894452
do Hell Cannons not count as Cannons now
>>
>>97894489
Hellcannons are stone throwers (as is the warpfire dragon they recently got).

If you want to have Hellcannons fire like cannons (specifically the big bess vampire coast had)? Be my guest, but until then theyre stone throwers.

Can't say yet, I've been using regular army books but want to try it out one day since it had some unique elements.
>>
>>97894814
>But why tho?
because in the older editions they had models, so ravening hordes, which is meant to keep existing armies playable, kept the profile
meanwhile in the serious reinvention of warhammer that was 6e, goblins didn't get an update to the spider riders and the older models weren't included, so the unit profile was not included in the armybook either
then they got updated models in 7th and were reintroduced in the rules as well in 7th
>>
>>97894814
>But why tho?
Ravening hordes was a stopgap designed to keep every army/collection playable. The 6e books were significant reinventions of many factions and warhammer in general so armies lost/gained shit all over.

>>
>>97895705

does this mean the life of an elven scat fetishist involves a lot of waiting?

>>97895685
Yes. Elves are fully biological and have the same muindane needs as everyone else. There are elf butchers and bakers and candlestick makers. There are elf janitors and street cleaners. There are elf sewage people who deal with elf latrines.

They might be more refined and advanced than humans, their latrines will stink less and be more pleasant, but they will still have latrines.

>>97895755
Elves (probably) dont have anything like lembas, nor should they, because within the context of "military stuff" lembas is more OP than even lotr mithril.

Theres a dark elf invasion of ulthuan which was eventually stopped because of food logistics, because the high elves burned down all their villages and stores as they fled and the dark elves were forced to withdraw in winter when they ran out of food (and the high elf navy was able to disrupt the dark elves from supplying themselves that way). If they had lembas you wouldnt have that, and lothern would currently be flying the crescent moon banner.

I dread to think what kind of sick shit bored Dark Elves think up for their captives on a particularly long and dull voyage. I also find Dark Elves much more interesting than Dark Eldar because they do what they do purely out of spite, malice, racism, and boredom rather than relatively morally grey necessity. They just like seeing lesser races suffer because it's funny to them.

When it cures it has better grip for the following coats of paint.

I've played against a guy who used lizardmen cold ones with sculpted horns and painted in many colours for his Tzeench forces. I also once saw Tyranid squigs using 2-3 models to a single 25x50 base as hounds. My dream unit would be getting a full set of the old c23 chaos hounds and recasting them into a handful of units.

>>97896082

>>97896076
I remember someone on Waraeer had a thread dedicated to his "oops! All mutations" horde of chaso army.

He was expanding his units during 8th edition and ended up converting something like 50+ warlords for the sake of it.

Some that always stuck with me were

A mini centaur with the body of a mordheim (?) dog and the torso of an halfling.

A tyranid body with the head of the chaos giant and the hands/fingers of a ghoul

A reverse minotaur with the bovine body and a human head

A four legged shark


But there were many, many more.
For all that it was a fairly shitty forum, warseer did have some very creative members who shared some extremely interesting projects.

While I think this is a fair criticism some of the new models (foot knights, the half ogre character), Cathay has shown that there are still people who look at historical armor and use that as a reference. The entire range of Cathay is filled with historical references.

>>97896616
The models look pretty incredible for the most part. I completely agree with you on the lore being boring. I don't know why they though making Cathay out to be goody two shoes mary sue type people was a good way to take it. Hopefully this is like the first rendition of Tau, and they will also get darkened lorewise in the future. Aesthetically though they are fantastic and filled with historical and cultural references.
>>
>>97896645
Yeah, I expected Cathay to look ridiculous but other than the giant collars on jade warriors I don't really see anything silly there. It's clear from the blog posts that they did a lot of research into historical Chinese armor. Not sure if that's because they're listening to the criticisms they got about the foot knights or if it's just because there's hardly any Chinese-style fantasy armor in GW's back catalog so they had no choice.
>>
>>97896657
Foot knights got no research or effort because Bretonnia gets no research or effort. Just fucking look at the drop in quality from 5th to 6th.
>>
>>97896657
My copium is that the half ogre and foot knights were made by people who no longer work at GW, probably designed 4-5 years ago to be ready for launch. Meanwhile the Cathay stuff was more recent, maybe 2-3 years, and is a sign of quality.

The new Chaos Marauders did a lot to assuage my fears of future TOW kits. The foot marauders look great, and the cav marauders look incredible, probably my favorite chaos sculpts in the range currently.

>>97896645
>the models look pretty incredible for the most part.
Its boring, its not warhammer in the slightest.
>>
>>97896679

This again. Does it even mean anything? What design formula is the chink armor violating compared to, say, a high elf spearman? What's the sacred cow being killed?

I can get just hating chinese armor and aestheticc, not exactly a fan myself, but this argument always reeks of trying to make one's distant sound more 'legitimate' and objective, rather than just being sincere and calling it ugly chinese armor.

Its safe and appeals to no one. No memorable hats, no memorable weapons, inoffensive, its completely subdued. Whose going to remember cathay once it stops getting new waves of support? Or when other ranges get updates? The motifs that are (barely) present arent even vocal within the faction. Its a faction for dullards, by dullards.

>>97896667
I think the reason behind Bretonnia's aesthetic shift is the Perry bros leaving gw. Their Bretonnian vision is more historical with some fantasy, whilst gw went full mudcore, taking out the historical aspect, likely to also keep players from buying historicals to complement their armies, as they did before. The newer foot knights are just a consequence of the new design line, and I'll assume every release going forward will be less and less inspired by reality.

I feel like you're trying to ruin something potentially fun by insisting that everyone is autistic or something and can't communicate. You can safely bring a tower or something to a game as long as you pay the points, and if you're want to bring a castle just talk to the friend you'll be playing with so that he knows ahead of time and brings an extra machine or two.
>>
>>97896977
who decides which side gets to field scenery? surely you're not suggesting both armies should be allowed to bring castles to pitched battles
>well, you roll!
so you expect both sides to have both a castle and siege equipment
or to not be allowed to play anything but a siege scenario as long as the resident gunline faggot wants a castle

it doesn't work
scenery is something the scenario deals with, not the armylist, if you want to bring a castle to a game, discuss with your other player that you want to play a siege scenario instead of arguing you should be allowed to pay points for towers and then that everyone else should discuss with you on how to deal with you after that

Talk like adults. I'm not going to argue with you anon since I can see you already have only the worst situations in your mind and there's no fighting that negativity.

It's almost as if rules suggestions should be tested against those!

By the way, no, you cannot bring 500pts of walls for your empire army.

The odd colored Gor or Ungor does fit in a beastman army, seeing as they might have come from other tribes heeding the call to the beastlord and/or bray shaman.
>>
>>97897282
It's because you're going from a warm colour to a cold color instead of using a different warm color, a better spectrum of tones would be dark brown, normal brown and light brown, instead of using straight up black and grey.

You can also paint all of them with the same light brown and then reapply the brown only on some areas to create darker parts, with those patterns you can do a lot of stuff

Think i'm just going to highlight the greys with a brighter grey colour and redo the black ones. Might try the blotchy skin/fur thing with gor and bestigor blob but probably can't be bothered with mere ungors

I'm new to whf, I want to start a full cav vampire army with vamp lord on dragon, blood knights, wight king on skeletal steed, black knights and dire wolves.
Is it possible, or do I need foot soldiers?
I dont really care if my army woukd get crushed, I just want it to be legal.

Honestly, you could do wonders by kitbashing Empire Greatswords with Flagellants. If you're decent at greenstuff you could take it even further.
Add some choice AoS sigmarite models into the mix and you should be golden.
>>
>>97896076
I've long been considering converting up a bunch of unarmoured quadruped Forsaken to use in lieu of proper dogs.
>>
>>97897492
I got myself some Cawdor, Flagellant, Repentia, Greatsword and Inquisitorial bits. I'll be slapping these together for the coming weeks. Wish I had some Sanctifier monk robes but greenstuff would fix all that.

how do you transport your miniature models? should i shell out for a GW carrying case or bubble wrap every individual nigga and throw them in a plastic bin?

>>97897647
I get those small garage cases for nails and screws, then just pad your guys in bubblewrap. Save yourself the money, no need to get a warhammer lunchbox for 100 bucks.

Use those plastic tubs you buy in packs of 20 for a buck,
Lay down some tissue paper, put down ten dudes. Lay some tissue paper on top, put some more dudes in.

Can fit about 20 dudes to a tub

All of them.

They still are in the 6th ed army book, but only in the form of a unit you get to field with one of the special army lists in the back if I remember correctly.
It was the savage orc army list I think and they use the same profile as wolf riders but ignore terrain and cannot be light cavalry.
>>
I'm considering Cathay but I'm wondering whether one balloon is good enough to actually do stuff on the battlefield? I will only buy one but if only one is useless and you need two then I'm not interested
Also are we missing much from total war? I remember seeing the lion statues which seemed cool
>>
>>97897647
>bubble wrap every individual nigga
Only if you're going on a plane or something
>>
>>97897771
So if you want to use the skull pass goblins you either use them as Black goblins and proxy the spiders as wolf riders, or use the savage orc list and proxy the night goblins as regular ones, nice.

>>97897647
I glued magnets to underside of all my models and a box with a piece of sheet metal on the bottom. Sheet metal movement trays too
>>
>>97897697

you guys don't magnetize your bases?

>>97896268
AoS sculptors get too overzealous with shape motifs and I find it really ugly. Like this guy (and the rest of the CoS range) has way too many of those v shapes going on.
>>97898458
I don't like that model but that's clearly not what they did, outside of maybe the face.
>>
>>97897695
do you have any tips for applying static grass?
>>
>>97898530
It is supposed to be their "twin-tailed comet" but the wavy fire one just mogs this one.
>>
>>97897790
Or just use the 7th ed rules for them?

Does everything need to be endorsed by GW ecumenical council, even old rules for old models used in 25+ years old versions of the game they discontinued?

I have serious doubts any opponent worth your time would ever question let alone complain about it.
>>
>>97898542
I've been using an electric grass box from WWscenics for these ones. The way I did it before I had it was:
Use a generous amount of white glue.
Never apply directly to the plastic base. You need a layer of some painted texture underneath like sand or basing paste.
Make sure the grass fibers are fairly loose in the tub.
Sprinkle the grass on top of the base until the is completely covered. Wait for a minute or so and then very lightly shake off the excess.
After one or two hours when the glue is fully dry shake and tap off the excess more vigorously. Then as a last step take an old brush with very soft bristles and gently brush the grass. It helps remove the last loose fibers and it helps the grass looks less flat.

>Make sure the grass fibers are fairly loose in the tub.
any advice for this?
I just got my first tub of static grass today and it's extremely clumpy. I tried loosening them with my fingers but that doesn't seem to help, I just get fibers all over my fingers.
>>
>>97898651
You don't need to loosen the whole tub. Take some, break and and loosen it between your fingers and make a little pile for the bases you want to do.
>>
>>97896606
This. This is what's wrong with AoS and nu-WFB (including ~6th edition)

The gigantic, unarticulated tassets look like they'd smash his knees to powder as he walked. I don't really like the shape of the cuirass but I'm not an armor nerd so I can't say if there's anything beyond aesthetic concerns wrong with it.
