Carnelian

haven't been in here in months but just popped by to say congrats to @KingBrodd! you've finally arrived

You son of a *****, I'm in! Truly perfection has been achieved:

We had this discussion on here before and someone much cleverer than meade the point that as well as size of sample, what is key is how the sample is selected. So a truly random sample of 800 people could in some circumstances be a v good indicator of a much larger population. That is why randomised nationwide polls can have a bit more value - the goonhammer web poll is more akin to a poll that is put on a political parties own web page in terms of randomisation - and that's why it's right to be very sceptical of the data. That said, that doesn't mean the data isn't useful or interesting and I certainly don't mean to imply that goonhammer act in bad faith like a political party would do!

Richard Strachan: Blood of the Everchosen The way he describes the land of the eightpoints and how the inhabitants survive in it is fantastic

I don't really understand who Pepe is but I understand he is some how related to wronguns. Can I like and share these Pepes without coming across as a rightwing nutter?

Don't think I agree with you at all on this The Idoneth are one of the best looking ranges ever produced by gw. But even better for me are the Warcry warbands and the sphiranx. The OBR are sweet too - the bone catapult and the guy on the chair are top top top! A new range would be extremely exciting for me

not a rumour but a wishlist but fun nonetheless

Do I mean nothing to you?

I never thought about Fyreslayers as the opposite of DoK but it's a cool comparison Should be Fyreslayers vs DOK not IDK

These are leaks from the preview video to be shown at LVO so I cannot see why a playtester would have access to these The leaks must have been from someone else

I can't wait for the Dwarven Soup battletome to include chaos dwarves

Great lost! Richard Strachan has been hitting it out of the park recently too so I'm v excited for Hallowed Ground

Fantastic - thank you for sharing your story and for the amazing sentiment - the hobby certainly is for everyone! I am glad you are happier now and hopefully the hobby and hobby community can continue to act as a place of refuge for anyone who needs it

I haven't yet read Day of Ascension but i am excited to do so, despite never having read any 40k - the author Adrian Tchaikovsky is responsible for some of my favourite sci fi work of the last few years! (I highly recommend Children of Time). It's v exciting to see him doing a 40k book...now just need him to take one step further and do AOS!

imo Bloodtithe rules are some of the funnest in the entire game They're not strong and could do with some powering up but i love the mechanic I wish Slaanesh and Nurgle and Tzeentch got an equivalent thematic alternative to summoning

Charging in opponent's turn is super strong and annoying ability. Stick him behind some vulkites who die then disrupt your opponent's turn by charging a big block of hench dwarfmen who were behind the vulkites. Seems good to me

Difficulty with OBR and a few mortals here and there is they just got healed back up by Arkhan. Think I need to focus fire more on them next time Thanks - although I don't think any of these add extra rend to deal with armour do they? Are there ways to get extra attacks on the KOS?

had my first game with Slaanesh tonight (on TTS) v OBR took a summoning heavy list based on the new box managed to summon well - a Keeper turn 2 and 30 daemonettes turn 3 however everything pretty much bounced off the morteks rerolling saves. I had much greater expectations for the summoned Daemons! What are the best ways to buff a KOS to actually do any damage against well armoured foes? In fact how does Slaanesh deal with armour in general?

For anyone who wants "proof" that many ppl don't care about playing matched play, just go to hobby discords and hang out or listen to all the hobby podcasts that aren't focused on matched play Hell, a significant number of people who go to the big matched play tournaments will tell you that their preferred method of play is to play narratively or that they're at the tournament primarily for the painting awards

haha this looks so terrible it could be good, if only this was all that it contained

thanks all!

Hi, old hand at aos but new to slaanesh. Picked up the new Xmas box and came here to ask re slickblade seekers or blissbarb seekers but see that has already been asked. My question instead then: what do people use the Fane of Slaanesh for? Seems like most heroes who want to get the plus one to hit aren't going to stick around near the fane (although I guess you place it quite aggressively for summoning off of it). Is it really there just to generate a DP?

thanks That's why I am going Godseekers - for that +1 to charge

If GW did a preview and showed all of this, it might be the best release ever

may i ask why you summon so many infernal enrapturesses? I love the model but (having not yet played a game with Slaanesh) am struggling to get it into lists but love the idea of summoning it. But three? Would love to know why? When I look at the summoning table to me it looks like only worth summoning Keepers or blocks of Daemonettes!
