Euphanism Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Lets be honest, none of these choices matter anyway. Eventually, you all serve one master: Death. And it does everything better than everyone else. Want to play a list with tons of magic like Tzeench? I'd like to introduce you to Nagash and Arkhan. Laugh as one model unbinds seven different spells effortlessly. The only Change your opponent will need is a change of underwear when their favorite model is caught by the Hand of Dust. Want to play a list with a horde of troops like Skaven? How does 120 skeletons sound to you? Turn everything in front of you to dust as the encroaching tide of death wears down even the most stalwart Stormcast. And unlike the cowardly rat men, your mindless undead will rarely flee. Want to play an elite, low-model count army like Beastclaw Raiders? Prince Vhordrai, Mannfred, and a handful of Blood Knights would like to know if you want your murder dialed up to 11. Just kidding, they've already wiped half the board on the first charge while you thought about that question. Want to summon in unit after unit like some silly space frog? Though technically first-cousins to the alliance of Death, the Flesh Eater Courts are the ridiculous king of underrated summoning. The only thing that will die faster than your opponent is your wallet. Want to run in a straight line and just demolish everything in your path like Khorne? Black Knights, Dire Wolves, a graveyard, and thou. The perfect evening of an unstoppable, constantly replenishing spearhead. Ghosts? The mosts. BONUS ROUND: You can legitimately run a list with two necromancers, two corpse carts, and THREE-HUNDRED ZOMBIES and it actually sort of works because no one can move anywhere and everything is in combat all the time. Only do this for fun battles or you will receive so many squinting stares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have an healthy interest in gold, mines and beards!? Are you homeless? Than dispossessed are the army for you! Field a heavily armoured, grumbling force with a very rational attitude to life in battle... Re-roll your saves and never run away. Record your grudges in a notebook during battle and make sure you don't start a new army before every grudge is crossed out! On a more general note. Last week I played my first match against Brayherds. Suddenly Brayherds and wanderers start to look really good due to their fun ambushing/reposting game! Just a thought.

Reaity splitting axes? Impractically decorated helmets? The patience of a monk painting bronze trim? patholoical dislike of magic? Axes? So many synergies that Einstein would weep tracking it?

Lord_Skrolk Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Man-things lie to you with their speak-squeaks. Traitor meat tell you that other races are better than the Skaven. Let's see how man-things lie with Clan Eshin poison in their throats! Skaven are the most best race in Age of the Great Horned Rat. The weapons of destruction from Clan Skryre can kill more than inferior beard-thing or man-thing or tin can-thing weapons. The insane plague-things from Clan Pestilens kill-slay many enemies of the Great Horned Rat when alive and become even more dangerous when dying! Most regal and noble Verminlords stalk the land. The great-best Deceiver stalks his enemies from the shadows, while the Warlords of Clan Verminus bravely lead from the back. Kill-slay for the Great Horned Rat!

michu Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Yes-yes, he's right. Remember that GHR told us back in the World-that-Was: "YOU SHALL INHERIT!" Everything will be ours soon-soon, so better join us and rule-rule! Our alliance will bring us glory-domination. All Skaven will be ruling the Mortal Realms together (ignore that knife behind my back-shoulders, it's just for scratching). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very 2018. Also, cool masks What? What madness is this no no no no no speak his name in jest not for least his taint stains all! You want to play Sigmar’s Stormcast Eternals because: Technically speaking, the Stormcast Eternals are the single largest collection of failures in any force in the Mortal Realms. They weren’t rewarded for success, they were instead rewarded because they called out in their moment of failure. Sigmar, in his benign wisdom, merely recognized their fanaticism and leveraged that to have one of the largest collection of religious warrior fanatics and religious military zealots in the Mortal Realms. #SigmarIsAnEvilOverlord Play SCE because you want to lead the largest collection of warrior and magic user failures in the Mortal Realms to some level of less failure, with the understanding and assurance that those warriors will become less and less human and relatable and more like a military automatons. Along the way you’ll get continuing support for your faction on a yearly release cycle, and nearly guaranteed access to new models and battletome updates as any scenario issues can result in a Sigmar just pressing his red button and opening a new Warrior Chamber to get that “new model smell” back again for the army.

PKredki Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 No one has talked about Clans Skryre. Shoot them from half the table with a Warp Lightning Cannon, deal mortal wounds. Shoot a poisoned wind mortar into a 20+ man blob and still deal heavy damage, even after the nerf. Every weapon on Stormfiends has some sort of rend or does 2 damage minimum.Even in an age of magic, not many factions have a built in spell that deals d3 or d6 mortal wounds. Also the best part is the Gautfyre Skorch Enginecove. Pop up within 9 inches of an enemy and assassinate their leaders with hot warp flames. Basically, If your opponent has a hero or 2 that their plan is totally dependent on, they die turn 1 or 2 and they're not allowed to play the game.

Nah, tries to cut beard with warp stone scissors. Trips. Falls over. Cuts of tail of latest bone ripper. Thanquol goes of to search for the reincarnation of Gotrek in search of revenge. The, objectively*, best whfb character with the objectively* most impressive voice in AoS. Making it go all full circle back to one of the races that were called the elder races in the previous world. *read: subjectively also Skaven are very cool. Very close second.

Meh, Duardin beards are not as majestic as they once were so that is no big loss. Used to be that you could kill just about any stunty and have yourself quite a fine trophy to hang from your belt or a banner. It was not uncommon to get a nicely braided one that you could scalp and immediately use as a belt. It seems highly likely that a combination of habitat destruction from losing the World-That-Was and simple population-thinning from unrestricted stunty-hunting has combined to make those majestic full beards quite endangered.
