DynamicCalories Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Nice to see them get some utility in AoS. Bar the Eldar sculpture there was nothing stopping them from appearing in AoS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidings Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Are these 40k terrain pieces that have been migrated to AoS? They really don't look like they fit in a fantasy setting to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidings Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I suppose there are a few thematic boards they would fit on... but as a Wanderer player I like the more traditional fantasy feel. Slightly off topic, but I miss the flavor of Bretonians, Empire, etc. These terrain pieces would be so out of place on a standard grassy table with those armies on it haha.

Moldek Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Yeah I'm not that into this kind of terrain. I feel if you put a little effort in painting / basing you can easily make some great "alien-looking" terrain with random bits and branches. I wish they would release more modular stuff that you can easily combine instead of set pieces. Stuff like the Garden of Morr that you can easily use in many different ways...

BunkhouseBuster Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 The most remarkable thing to me is that it is an implementation of 40K stuff into AoS. Not a conversion, not a kit-bash, but a straight port of a previously 40K only model being moved into a Fantasy setting. I know that the Chaos Daemons have been able to go back and forth between systems for a long while now, but this is cool to me! I wonder what if there is a chance of anything else jumping between systems now? I do miss some of the more classic Fantasy style terrain though. Sure, the big, flashy, and magical stuff is awesome, but without some of the simpler themes, one can lose appreciation for either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamMatthews Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Was just putting these together. Brought them a while ago in a deal and my mate wanted the next game to be set in the realm of life. Cool to be getting some rules for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkiham Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 i find it interesting as not long ago im sure someone who works for gw started a thread asking what people think of white dwarf an how it can be improved, i could probably dig it up an link but i cba tbh i mentioned on there about adding more warscrolls for aos, new terrain, narrative characters etc etc to make white dwarf magazines more desirable, now this might be coincidence but they might be far more active than we realise on forums checking feedback anonymously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-P Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 The entire range of "Industrial" terrian for 40K would probably fit as well. Just say Kharadron Overlords made it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polarbear Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I like that terrain because it's not on a base. I would like if they did a similar thing with Sylvaneth Woods, as the whole not being able to actually use them with models unless you remove the trees thing is goofy.

MrCharisma Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I like the idea of having alternative terrain, but I don't like the lines being blurred between AoS & 40k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuneBrush Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I think the Shardwrack looks ports over really well (it's crying out to be nurglified), less convinced by the Venomgorse Sadly my immediate reaction was "more mortal wounds?" and then realising it would make a fantastic screen for ranged units! But that's very negative and it's really nice to see warscrolls appearing for more scenery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonlightwolf Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 With the right paint job these could absolutely work in the stranger parts of the mortal realms. I'd use the Venomgorse in the jungle areas of the realm of life. The spines could be tree replacements in the realm of metal, or be part of the bones of some giant beast in the realms of beasts or death. Their paintwork as shown here is very 40K but with a little adaption they really could work well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stato Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Cool idea. But have you seen the price of those things! £80rrp!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb_rex Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 While I really like the look of the Shardwrack Spines for a Choas Wasteland type setting, the tree things just look a bit too alien for my liking but I suppose could work in niche parts of some realms. The only reason they've done this is because the kit isn't selling that well and opening it up to AoS increases the potential size of the market a bit. To be honest I very nearly bought this kit when it came out for 40k, but it was just a bit too expensive and I only really wanted the Spines... They really should have been 2 kits at £30 each and they probably would have sold like Munitorum Containers (hot cakes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
