Ogregut Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 5 minutes ago, Neverchosen said: This is extremely well put! I am loving the recent rules for named character models as they feel really characterful but as you point out they are not always the most balanced or geared towards competitive play. I typically only use named characters if the opponent is also using them or when going past 2000 points. Yndrasta will pose a bit of an issue as she is my favourite model in dominion and lacks a generic alternate warscroll and I am intentionally keeping my stormcast army relatively small. However, I also love the angelic look particularly as a counter to my demon prince and have developed a narrative around that opposition. Could you not use her as a Knight-Azyros? Her base is bigger sure but I can't see anyone objecting to that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her base is bigger sure but I can't see anyone objecting to that. This is a great idea! I could even have her start as a Knight-Azyros/Knight-Venator and upgrade her to Yndrasta's profile during a narrative campaign. Hopefully proxying her as a Knight-Azyros will also net me enough points to add the beautiful new dragon riders into my army. Although, I feel like I will likely round out my army with a pair of ballistas and a Lord Ordinator. But as points seem to be trending upward I am not planning on anything in particular and might find myself closer to a complete 2000 point army than I realize.

azdimy Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 7 minutes ago, Ar-Pharazôn said: 50? I checked a currency converter and it said £30 is around $41 or so. If that is GW prices before third party discount, wouldn't you only be paying 36 or so? As stated by Heijoshin GW do not base its global pricing on current currency value. It also caps online third party discounts at 15% in the us and those prices do not include sales tax added later on so even going to a discounter it will be about $47 after tax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scurvydog Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 6 hours ago, Rachmani said: (From a consistency & lore PoV, we all know that tournament success might be based off of different factors.) It doesn't matter if they make a model with 10 attacks, rend 4 and damage 5, it still will not beat Gotrek for his 430 points. The only thing right now that can shift this balance is if ward save ignoring rules pop up more, which also kind of defeats the purpose of wards in the first place... As you well put it, tournament success depends so much more on stacking synergies in a given army, expect of course Gotrek who could probably defeat every single unit in the game, if they lined up and came at him 1 unit at a time. Scarbrand, Mawkrushas, mega gargants, it doesn't matter. I will agree in any other context the newer characters for Stormcast does appear to be very cool and thematic, as they both can put out some hurt while also doing things for the army and opening synergies for play, even if it is not meta defining synergy (time will tell). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernNurgling Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 I'm really curious to see the size of this model and if I can replace the head with a Dire Wolf or Thunderwolf so I can have a Skin-Wolf for my Darkoath army.

It’ll most likely be similar in size to the existing Necromantic werewolves which are roughly human-sized: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosskelot Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 It does suck but also was anyone really expecting anything different? £30 has been the cost for 40k codexes since 9th dropped.

Neverchosen Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Part of me is actually wondering if the reason their has been such an emphasis on Dawnbringer's is not simply for a rebranding of cities but a new unified identity within order. Namely I am wondering if Dawnbringer's will be reflected in the rumoured combined Duardin book as an aspect of the Dispossessed new identity. Less a focus on isolationist miners and more on craftsfolk helping build settlements in the mortal realms. Then we could have some Dawnbringer flavour in Duardin, Cities of Sigmar and Stormcast armies which would explain why there was such a huge emphasis on it in the Core rules. I know that Seraphon are terraforming parts of the mortal realms and that Morathi is kind of making big plays at spreading her cult so it could also thematically go beyond the armies I listed. I am not a big fan of the Crusade/Manifest Destiny plot but it does have some potential as a narrative theme for the edition that will hopefully result in the Chaos Gods realizing that they need to hold the lines and then wrecking some of the major cities leading into 4.0 with the armies of order more scattered than before. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
