>>97943584
>What do you think of the Arcane Journal system
It's basically physical DLC innit. Which I don't mind in and of itself. But with regular releases comes a hype cycle and with a hype cycle comes the consoomers who shit up the hobby. So all things considered I preferred when it was one army book every 6 months or so, which was its own form of gatekeeping and made for a very comfy game.

>>97943625
Interesting kitbash. Looks like the 6th ed Questing Knight ornament on the "Agravain de Beaumarchais" QK champ torso/legs, with the arm of the KOTR standard bearer, and a greenstuff-sculpted hand over an infantry standard's fleur de lys as the lance tip. Beautiful rider. That use of the 6e horse body aggravates me greatly though, stupid fucking shield pattern on the caparison and useless leather straps. The handful of models that went into this kitbash are like $250 today btw.

it's shit, there's not enough space in them to have any substance on any given topic and they waste that little space to a disgusting degree. the rules they get are minimal, stuff that once would have been handed out in a white dwarf article.
>Do you prefer smaller but more frequent book releases?
no.
>Or do you prefer the older Army Book style once an edition release?
7th edition had the best armybooks to me, if I count everything BUT the balance
I want fluff dense books full of shit and good artworks.

TOW is a time period that asks for a more in-depth exploration of a status quo that's meant to be different from the one people are used to, and cathay is a brand new faction that is begging for a sourcebook that actually adds depth to it, and yet they have done absolutely fucking nothing but release tie-in booklets for model releases.

C7 really needs to release an RPG sourcebook for Cathay to flesh it out. What are they waiting for?

>>97943755
They would most definitely release that for the tow rpg rather than the normal whfrpg, so chances are they're waiting for the tow rpg to take off.

Going to repost the question I asked in the last thread: What's a good way to play Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay online? I tried using Foundry, but the module there is overly automated and seems to expect you to actually buy things. Is there a better alternative?

Also, I should probably add: Is there a way to just pirate the paid modules?

I like them overall. They bring more frequent updates than the standard edition cycle would for armies. Their quality is definitely a mixed bag however, especially early on, but the newer ones have been better in my eyes.

You don’t see the problem with that? So it’s on sale for 1 month then after that where do you get the rules if you’re a new player? Battle March being tailored for newcomers would make no sense releasing in a limited monthly magazine. That absolutely needs to be in an evergreen book.

The local shop still has magazines from like four months ago. No one's actually buying them because it's all AoS/40k bullshit. Putting Old World content in WD would actually be beneficial for moving stock and prevent shitty sparse $30 books being hucked at us repeatedly.
It's not like WD compendiums didn't exist before for when enough amass. But again GW could just have these articles as pdf downloads a month after the WD goes to print. They don't out of greed.

>>97944271
It’s a Cathay book first and foremost. Oh yeah, I’m sure people are also happy to spend more than $90, $30 more than a codex for what are essentially updates that are somehow more sparse than what some factions get for a data slate in 40k.

>>97944284
Right but realistically that isn’t happening. WD is an advertisement for 40k first and foremost and AoS when 40k doesn’t have releases. Ideally we’d go back to the old fantasy white dwarf content drops but that isn’t happening as a specialist game.

>>97944292
Is it really $30 in the us? Here I get them for just under 30 Canadian, so it’s like $22 USD. $22 once ever 3-4 months really isn’t some kind of exorbitant price even if you have a part time job.

>>97944284
I’ll buy WD issues when there’s an army showcase I want to see, I feel like I’d buy more if TOW got more attention in that regard too.

Unlike you I’m not exactly happy to shill out for the old world at a moments notice. I will pay for shit what is worth its due, and arcane journals are not that. I was pissed when I read the “treatment” warriors of chaos got with their respective journals that I took a break from tow altogether. If something similar happened where I would need to buy several arcane journals for a different army I’d outright dismiss tow entirely. This stuff could be a pdf at best.

>>97944344
That’s fine, no one is asking you to shill. In fact most of the AJ’s are available here for free in the form of pdfs as is. I’m just saying that $25ish bucks every 3-4 months isn’t some crazy scam price that you’re making it out to be.

To stay anonymous. There are non-evil "black knights" in Bretonnia who take the Questing/Exile Vows to redeem themselves and hide their heraldry in shame and go all-black, kind of like the Black Shields in the Deathwatch from 40k. One theory from the Full Tilt game book is that Gilles le Breton/Green Knight does this to compete in tournaments anonymously because there's a gigachad black knight who always wins. Probably hides his power level with illusion magic and wears beat-up regular KOTR armor to blend in.

>>97944630
This is the most autistic thing I will ever admit to but female miniatures bothers me.

My thoughts on Arcane Journals are extremely mixed. On the one hand, more rules is fun, a secondary revenue stream for the company is good (anything to dispel the notion that WHFB isn't profitable), and it's nice to get more books in general, because, in theory at least, more books = higher chances for good books to be released. On the other, Chaos has received two AJs and they were both rancid butt-ass. Wolves of the Sea was a mistake, Heralds of Darkness is utterly worthless, Chaotic Traits are a great idea that was utterly wasted because half of them are useless, one of them is objectively overpowered but requires you to engage in rules shenaniganery to make the most of it, and Daemon Princes aren't allowed to take them (Why!? They're Daemon Princes! You're telling me some shitter marauders can have a CT, but a DP having one is beyond the pale?), the things they did to marauders could be classified as war crimes, and every bit of fluff they've written about Chaos for TOW (with the possible exception of that one story about the twins, which still wasn't great) has just been awful. As for the other AJs, it's cool that they exist but the extremely low page count often means that buying them just isn't worth it. The matched play guide was kinda cool (GW really ought to keep its grubby mitts off of the competitive scene, the community is already handling that just fine) and the little side-modes and options they've been releasing through the more generic AJs are also nice. However, having to bring all these books to a game is annoying. I don't think this whole business model is going to continue if/when TOW gets a second edition.
This all being said, for the love of God, just start making proper army books again. The Forces of Fantasy/Ravening Horde books were an awful idea and AJs are absolutely not a substitute for a good army book.

Amazing, not a single word in your post refers to anything I actually typed. Go read what the traits do, anon. They're not well designed regardless of how good or bad they are. They're not fun because half them literally don't do anything/can only be taken on specific units, the one trait everyone agrees is overpowered (unnatural fortitude, if you're too retarded to look at them for yourself) is either a must-take or only good because of a technicality), and in general they're far too restrictive. That has nothing to do with WAACfaggery, you absolute chimp. Never reply to me again.

Who cares, once you start arguing for things to be “usable” you’re basically asking for shit to be removed.

I don’t like it at all in HH and I barely even acknowledge arcane journals in tow.

>>97944858
What is the issue with the format in HH/LI compared to it in TOW?

>>97944824
NTA but I would actually say WoC is one of the few armies I'm ok with have a couple women models for. The two armies I think make sense to have a larger percentage of front line women are Tomb Kings and dwarfs. Dwarfs only because in siege situations the women would naturally join to defend the hold. Women shouldn't be in front line positions and I say that as the beastwomen player where the contradiction is the point

>>97944843
Again, you've managed to read and respond to words that were never included in any of my posts. No, anon! I don't want anything to be removed! I want what's been added to the game to be fun and interesting! Chaotic Traits aren't fun or interesting! They're restrictive! They're lame! WAACfags only use 2 of them because the rest are either a) designed bad on purpose or b) just bad. Tell me, why are the Longstriders and Unnatrual Fortitude traits only usable by marauders, marauder horsemen, and characters wearing the Armour of Meteoric Iron, the Armour of Silvered Steel, and the Glittering Scales? Why does Battle Reflexes only apply to hand weapons? Why can't Daemon Princes take any traits? Why does Battle Hunger, the single coolest and most interesting Chaotic Trait, only work if every model in a unit has it? The answer to every single one of these questions has absolutely nothing to do with balance or WAACfaggotry and I don't want any of these, or the other traits I didn't mention, to be removed. I want them to be cool! I want them to be fun! I want you to actually read the words that are actually written in posts instead of reading words you have conjured up from the aether!

>>97944630

Why not women elfs? That's been a thing since the beginning, and they're not human so you can't do the "women are weaker" argument

>>97945144
Mostly cause they tend to be better at other things instead of front lining. Call it more of a specialization situation than mixing the sexes in each unit. But sure, I'll grant that I suppose.

>>97944880
I think Fromsoftware’s catalogue consistently proves that people are fine with women warriors in dark fantasy settings, it’s just a matter of presentation. I think Warhammer constantly “fails” at adding more of them because it’s clear that they’re doing it out of obligation to outside forces instead of making a decision to enrich the setting.

>>97945311
I'll push back against that in an important way. People have always been ok with women Heroes and Villains. And those heroes can be warriors or fighters. It's the generic women warriors that get the hate.

>>97944630
Some of my skeletons are girls and you won't be able to tell which.

>>97945342
Yes I can, men and women have different proportioned skeletons. If they are all the same it’s almost certainly all men

>>97945311
But that's not clear at all? They haven't crammed TOW full of women. The French ladies have been part of the setting for ages and Miao Ying was introduced in Total Warhammer years before TOW started. The new characters are what, that new Elf pirate lady and Frydaal? Both of whom are totally standard characters who just are women and it's not important to their stories. Like, how would them being men "enrich the setting" more than them being women?

>>97945350
>men and women have different proportioned skeletons
Not exactly. Men and women have different proportion ranges, but there is significant overlap. It's often difficult to definitively sex a skeleton if there aren't any other markers of gender found with it.

The problem is when it sucks. When Lords of the Lance added female Grail Knights it was dumb because they didn’t need to throw away Bretonnia’s culture to add women combatants in their army before. They smoothed over a “rough” edge of the faction for no real reason other than appeasing modern sensibilities.

>>97945548
See, this is what I mean. The whole backstory of AoS is about massive migrations and refugee crises. Humans from all over the Realms fled to Azyr during the Age of Chaos and then were unleashed back on the Realms during the Age of Sigmar. Cities grow and send out Dawnbringer Crusades to go found new cities, and along the way they sometimes meet and incorporate tribes of humans who survived the Age of Chaos. Cities fall and the survivors flee to nearby safety. Every single human settlement in AoS outside of Azyr was settled by the descendants of refugees from all over the Realms.

The AoS lore basically demands diversity in human settlements.

So, as I said, just admit you don't like black people. Don't act like the lore justifies it, because you are incontrovertibly wrong.

>being wrong about the lore
Lol. Yes, absolutely, I'm sure there's a fascinating, rivetingly well-explained reason absolutely CRUCIAL to the rich and deep millennial English major's cumrag lore as to why Sigmar has a bunch of pygmies and Southlanders in his nu-human Empire instead of, y'know, the Men of the Empire, who are literally his blood relatives. You can be a brownoid Warhammer Fantasy/TOW player without needing to smear shit all over the setting, there are several established nonwhite and non-human factions to choose from if you can't help but seethe over the White people factions being homogenous in a setting created by White people.

You are one miserable little faggot, aren't you? Sigmarites were exclusively fair-skinned Men of the Empire, I don't care what your cynically written corpokike faggot pulp says to justify shoehorning different real-life ethnicities into their dogshit.

>>97944638
In order to get cute girls out of warhammer female miniatures, you need to bend over backwards, metaphorically speaking. The sheer amount of effort required to not get an ugly face makes the whole process a gigantic pain the ass.

I dont actually like how they just dropped female soldiers in cathay. Miao ying I can ignore because named characters are gay (doubly so for primarchs), but not giving gendered roles is just fucking awful and put me off from the army altogether. that little nuance just irks me, harmony mechanics would be more important than weapon gear to me.

>>97945585
Humans are all the same to a dragon, so them not giving a shit and doing the equivalent of dragging and clicking then right clicking on the target from whatever they have is kinda nice.

>>97945585
That does bother me too, never gave Cathay much thought or played against them though.

This isn't 40k. CoS was fun when you could mix and match elf and dwarf and human units and take coalition units from all over the place so you could fluff up your own fun unique city-state.
Now all it is and apparently is gonna be according to leaks is "40k imperium but medieval" which is awful.

>It's a whole different setting, man.
It's based on the Warhammer world, whose Sigmarites are based on Western Europe. Why the fuck is the Sigmarite afterlife so brown?
>>97945654
Every non-Chaos human fucking died when Archaon literally destroyed the fucking planet, literally every city and town was destroyed, where else did they come from? If the Empire of Man fell, how the fuck would Southlander retards have survived? Go ahead and cite Daishiki Shitto the Stormcast's novel, I genuinely want an explanation.

>>97945658
Yeah Chaos Space Marines are just Chaos Warriors in space

>>97945671
Not him, but there were already people living in the realms before the endtimes. Also not everyone died in the endtimes before the planet blew up, people had ways to transporting to other realms, not even just the ones in Aos. A handful of bretonians if I remember followed into some pocket dimension entirely.

>>97945671
Sigmarite afterlife? What the fuck are you talking about? The Mortal Realms aren't the afterlife of Fantasy. And the first humans in the Mortal Realms weren't Sigmarites. They were scattered tribes until Sigmar showed up and helped them build great civilizations.

Do you see what I mean about you not knowing shit about the lore?

yeah it is very stupid looking, the guy has on all this decorative stuff like tassels and skulls but he's wearing a flimsy cloak full of holes? just because he's edgy ig?

Even more retarded than I thought.

>>97945701
Anon. The Mortal Realms aren't a planet.
And the humans Sigmar finds in them weren't surviivors of The End Times, they were native to the Mortal Realms.
And the souls Sigmar forges into Stormcaat aren't from The Old World, they're from people who lived and died in the Mortal Realms.

Then this thread would be empty, because TOW is for the vidya fans, and vidya is where the troons come from. But you know that, since that's where you come from!

>>97945701
AoS has almost nothing to do with WHF.
It's more connected to Fantasy than Fantasy is to 40k but that's really not saying much. The connections exist almost entirely for marketing reasons. AoS is first and foremost a sandbox setting that you can put any fantasy models you like in, no matter how outlandish or disconnected from existing lore.

>>97945787
No. Look at the marauder arcane journal. It should be in the OP. Chaotic traits are extra points-costed upgrades you can give to specific units. They're also on Old World Builder.

So /aosg/ is dead (like their game and setting) so they are raiding us? Lmao

Man you can't call other games dead when there has been no TOW news at all fotlr like three months. I'm not happy about it either, but have some self-awareness.

>>97945821
That's because troons cry louder when they need new stuff to consoom, so gw keeps releasing shit to keep their game from dying, even though nobody plays it

NTA but I've traveled around the central midwest US recently and I have literally never seen anyone play AoS except maybe a couple times, and I don't think they were even proper games because there were like 20 models on the table in total. Saw AoS product literally collecting dust in most places, and one shop in a relatively major city literally made a throne out of their unsold Skaventide boxes that stayed perfectly untouched for a month. Only wargames around here other than historicals are 40k and grogs playing WFB.

>>97945821
We're in a 40k release window. That's to be expected. Also GW plans shit years in advance.

I felt bad for them about their setting being squatted next year but people like the spammer make me rethink that.

>>97945913
Relative to older kits. But then again the jade lancers were worse than the jade warriors and the sentinel even worse still.

>>97945809
I saw it. It is the marauders' journal, so normal things would be more for them and with some scraps for the Warriors.
I play Beastmen, so being stuck with the hand weapon while having some cool ability is normal, and also it would be a unbalanced having a magic weapon that can be hitting at +2 init.
The others seems all right to me, keeping in mind the focus on marauders. Warriors/knights striking at +2 init or having a simili swiftstride or even giving a -1 Ld for break test is pretty intresting

If you need to believe that AoS is dead and only gets way more new releases than TOW just because people buy them except they don't buy them ever, and even when they do buy them it doesn't count, and that makes you feel better about the slow TOW release schedule, then go for it my sister in christ.

>>97945971
I believe that, Spearhead has overshadowed AoS in terms of popularity for sure. Which is funny how AoS players think this is a win. 4th has seen actual AoS decline massively in popularity, while Spearhead has surged in popularity. City of Ash being the Spearhead starter set.

>>97945987
Once again, GW release schedules are planned years ahead. If you want to see how well AoS sells relative to new TOW factions (ie Cathay), you're going to have to wait more than a year to see the result of it coming out of the production pipeline.

I don't have much of an answer yet.
I'm worried more frequent rules updates could in theory result in greater power/scope creep than with Army Books (if you assume there's a powercreep every iteration of the rules, and there's more iterations = faster creep).
But in practice I don't think that's happened. So that seems good.

But it atomizes the rules and also LORE. Army Books seems to incentivize more effort into developing the direction of an army's lore, and then more careful consideration of how that lore is expressed in rules. I'm loretistic, so I care about that.

>>97946211
They're gonna milk Cathay for all it's worth first. Not that I mind, more units is a good thing.

Got 500 points of my beastieboys painted and about another 50 - 100 half done. Starting to think about my baggage train.

>>97943584
they've been fine for this 'nostalgia' edition aimed at grogs who know the lore but they should be scrapped moving forwards and some effort should be put back into the army books. I'm not even bothered about hardbacks but the lore has suffered this edition and most new players still have no clue what their faction is about since the lore is split between the rulebook, 5 pages in a journal and two pages in the hordes books.

I guess I just don't understand why you feel so strongly about the y'know background and "how things work" of a setting you self-admittedly know so little about. Like why?
Don't get me wrong I fully understand disliking aos, I just find it strange that you go around inventing essentially your own homebrew aos lore to then also get mad about.

I'm biased because 6th-8th was when Stillmaniac Bretonnia kino died and mudcore medieval filter ahistorical pop fantasy took over. Literally every model in the range got worse, and Questing Knights became a weird sidegrade instead of part of the Errant -> KOTR -> QK -> GK progression tree. Then they shelved Bretonnia entirely when they were done shitting it up.
That being said, 6th is still the gold standard in terms of gameplay. TOW isn't so bad either aside from the shrimplified magic.

My mistake. Constant /aosg/ayboy raids today. But yeah, I mostly shit on AoS for the shit models, shit gameplay, shit community, and creative bankruptcy in general, that's hardly a strawman, though you're right about my willful ignorance. I will never ever read tranny game's "lore," just like I'll never read the absolute vitriolic slop that was the End Times novels. I don't need to be a "lore" master to know I hate that faggot game and everything it stands for, it's simply not for me. I'm just as baffled that anyone actually enjoys total fucking slop like Idoneth or ICoS.

Tuomas-sama is a /his/bro and a total fucking chad, he was not responsible for mudcore Bretonnia, that would be Anthony Reynolds.
>>97946499
My apologies elder-grog.

>>97946522
He might not have been responsible for mudcore bretonnia, but he set the stage for the setting to become way darker and grittier than 5th, and that lead to mudcore bretonnia.
I should mention I don't care about brets one way or the other desu, I am a massive Empirefag at heart and both permutations of Bretonnia are boring to me.

To each their own
One final question, are you the guy that periodically goes "I wish warhammer fantasy was real and I could live there vgh"?
The writing style is superficially similar but I'm not sure and it's been bugging me

>>97946464
You are welcome Jop. I will add the Google search training to my repertoire.
Mayonnaise-bashing aside, there are stores in Germany buying shit from Poland and selling it with 20% discount as well. Shipping is as cheap as 7-8EUR per order and Dutch stores offer free shipping for orders of 100EUR+ only so it's often a better deal to buy from real Germany than here in the handicapped Germany anyway.

>>97945139
Yeah I feel like the RPG sourcebooks are at least as evocative as the army books when it comes to inspiring people to start/expand their collections. It's a shame GW will only ever acknowledge them in passing because they're written by third parties and aren't integrated with the big GW marketing machine.

>>97945552
Even beyond that, that book was such lazy, last minute, paid-by-the-word garbage. The fact the author couldn't even be bothered to remember TOW is supposed to happen 200 years before SoC/ET is so incredibly funny. And some people have the gall to pretend anything that comes from BL is anything other than long form ads for plastic toys.

>>97945658
I've been saying the same for ages

She's a male chaos warrior body with a female head plonked on. About as low-effort as the 40gay crowd's female space marine conversions. If she actually looked feminine and was distinct from male chaos warriors in some way she'd be great, see: Elysse, Valkia, handmaiden of the everqueen, handmaiden of the lady, hell even the female model from the wurmspat.

But no, we get "generic chaos warrior C with girlboss head, oh btw she's the big bad of the setting get used to it". Incredible disappointment, chaos deserved better, female miniatures deserved better.

That's purely self inflicted. What would possess you to order so many boxes for a niche army for a niche space marine game?

>>97946608
Marines are the opposite of niche.

>>97946611
30k is. And mech are notably not marines.

So after reading, you're saying I SHOULDNT order Defenders of the Great Bastion.

I'm glad the goblin cheese strat hasn't been used for decades.
For context, that that was the practice of taking 5 minimum cost goblin melee heroes to make up the whole of the front rank of a goblin unit so the enemy had to divide attacks and couldn't focus on one nor pick off the shittt goblins in the back.
I think it died with 7th's slot system and then never came back with 8th.

>are you the guy that periodically goes "I wish warhammer fantasy was real and I could live there vgh"
Lol no.

>>97946701
There was actually some pretty good tech into that you might not have been aware of that every army bar high and wood elves had access to,

You could actually reach over the table and beat that motherbitch to fuck death and then put your penis inside his MtF girlfriends bussy.

Helves and Woodies can't because their wrists would snap

Didn't there used to be a WFRP general you could ask in?

I think Cathay is done for a year, year and a half at least. It has a full range now, it's good to go. My bet is the rest of this year is going to be bringing other Core armies up to snuff and the promotion of Dark Elfs to Core.

Maybe Kislev wave 1 in November/December, mostly because AoS would be entering the end of edition narrative and 40k just finally ramping up out of post-edition launch doldrums, so they'd be getting reasonable but not huge releases so something like Kislev would fit in there. But I wouldn't bet money on that.

To be honest I think holding Kislev back until the other armies are in a little better place would benefit the whole game. Cathay was huge, it put TOW on the map and established that this wasn't a side project for Grogs that was going to get forgotten about like, fuckin, Aeronautica Imperialis or whatever. That was good. But it did shine a light on how rough some of the model ranges are. So when they do the next big splashy new army, it would be better if, for example, a Tomb King army didn't look ridiculously cartoony. That way when it gets people's eyes back on the game, even if they don go with Kislev they'll still be like, "oh damn, this game looks a lot more up to date than it did last time I hear about it"

>>97947067
they'll announce new stuff for TOW soon, then we'll be able to talk about that.

It's gotta happen eventually, right?

Had an fun and amazing 1000p game against Dark Elves today, my Beastmen was met with some deadly force. We played a regular pitched battle and my opponent used the renegade ruleset for his DElves.
It was a very swingy battle but in the end I scraped out a victory due to my Bestigor unit camping on one of the objectives, mainly due me failing my charges because his unit of warriors fleeing every turn so they remained in place to snag points.

This is a fundamental misunderstanding of how GW works now. If an army sells well on its initial run, it will get more units until it stops selling. If it doesn't sell, it will get a pity hero or a warcry/underworlds/kill team release occasionally when its new book rolls around.

Look at Lumineth vs. Idoneth for AOS. Or just 40k in general. So there will be lots more Cathay and there will not be bringing the other Core armies up to snuff.

>>97947339
You are the fundamental misunderstanding of how gw works, GW already decided ahead of time that they would shower lumineth with releases and keep idoneth dry.
There's no adjustment to sales.

>>97947312
None of the shit is really needed in the next year though
Cathay is basically in the same state now as a lot of 1st edition aos armies. Tow makes a lot more efficient use of sprues (since just copying them is less of a problem because of ranknflank) so I don't think it'll be quite as long until they get touched again, but for now they're fine.

>>97947063

Are tzaangor legs too wide to fit on 25mm squares?

My champion is done, he will lead the joined force of beastmen and warriors till I hit ~1,5k mark. He's a little bit tilted but it's to late to change it now (I don't want to fuck up this dude any more). I should have done more dry fitting.

Well done on the victory beastbro, show those filthy DElves what it means to suffer!

>>97947463
Looks great anon. Liking the mix of red and black. Ye made any fluff on him yet or a name?

>>97947463
I really like how warm the gold looks. You did a great job with the scratch-marks on the armour too. Good stuff, anon! You may want to pass over the red bits again, the coat is a bit see-through in certain places, but you still painted up a lovely chaos champion. May he take many skulls in Khorne's name!

>>97943887
> Most eye catching part of the model is the fucking rim of the base
Complete failure of a paint job

Did they sculpt breasts onto then individually or is it a 3d print

>>97944630
Women infantry don't make sense, nor archers because using a long bow (or any bow) takes a lot of fucking upper body strength women just don't have
I actually don't think women knights would be that big of a deal though. The lance and the impact of the horse do 99% of the work, even a woman can hold that shit (armor doesn't weigh that much and she is riding a fucking horse), in combat she is striking from the height advantage and any knight pulled off the horse is basically fucked anyway.
But there is like no circumstance that involves infantry work were women make sense

>>97947403
not at all, I have ten on 25s
their weapons make them a bit tricky to rank up but its very doable

>>97947339
>Look at Lumineth vs. Idoneth
Lumineth got a split release, it had nothing to do with popularity. They didn't design and push out an entire second wave in under a year.
Hedonites of slaanesh also had a split release, and those guys are fyreslayers-tier unpopular.

>>97947493
>>97947505
lol,
rofl even

>>97947339
Didn't Lumineth get two big waves early on and then fall into the occasional foot hero, terrain, Warcry warband schedule?

Doesn't that support my theory that we won't get any big Cathay releases in the next year or so?

>>97947312
So they can do a foot hero or two to keep interest and then do a small wave with a dragon and a couple other units or a big animal person focused wave in three or four years. Sounds good to me.
