Kugane Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Morathi has me wondering if she is splashable in other order armies. Such a nice model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyriakin Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 (edited) Note that Scourge Privateers are still an ally option. Therefore, I guess they were neither renamed to, folded into or replaced by this new nautical elf faction.

Captain Marius Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Loving all the new weapon options for witch aelves, sisters of slaughter and doomfire warlocks, and the rules for animating the avatars of khaine are awesome! The new fluff really fleshes out some of existing lore too which is nice. And the Morathi models themselves are some of GWs best work - what a great release! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barkanaut Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Huzzah I don’t want an elf faction tied to their gods. I’m not a fan of the warhammer elves. These Deepkin sound right up my alley. Assuming your speculation is right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These Azyrite walls have more in common with the super thin original LotR ruins. I've just built a few pieces of scenery with those and think I'll stick with them over this new stuff. The 40k Moon Base kits have depth to them, details. These Azyrite are so plain, no specific detail to them, where are the big icons or symbols?. I guess it stops them looking repetitive if you have a lot but it just doesn't have the interest I was expecting from new AoS specific scenery. If they do more kits and this matches the style then I could see myself change my mind, but as a standalone kit I'm a little disappointed (may change when I see them in the flesh of course). I retract my previous statement. Just seen this in the weekly pre-order preview. Really shows the details on the models better than the box art does. What is obvious though is the ruin-and-board kit has an additional sprue in it with curved windows, not just the square ones included in the ruins box. This is what they did on the moon-base kit, I believe because that specific sprue is bigger than the box they use for the separate ruins, I presume this is the same situation here.

Sharkbelly Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I was wondering how they would fit in with the other AoS terrain. That looks pretty cool. I wonder what the Archway and Occulum would look like with that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah It has but that's not the arch I mean. The ruins set has 2 sprues it seems which makes 3 ruins (with a few swappable bits). The battle set looks to have one of these and another sprue with round arches. Means buying the battle set if you want more variation but the ruin set seems to have enough if your not buying multiples of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't notice them before. After further scrutiny, I believe those are not windows but doorways actually. We'll need to see the kit when it'll be available for preorder, but I have the feeling that the doorway can be either open or condemned with bricks. Maybe we can choose to glue a brickwall inside them. Take a look at the condemned doorways on the bottom pieces of this first picture and compare them with the open doorways on this second picture: the pillars are the same.

I hope that's the case, as more LOS blocking terrain is welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuneBrush Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Quite liking the new ruins despite the points about them being not having a huge impact on LoS. I think assembling them into ruined buildings on a base rather than scatter terrain would solve some of those issues though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoreCommander Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Ah, these ruins. They'd go nicely with the arcane ruins set. Also I have about 20 Cthulhu statues (don't ask) so I can make a proper underwater city 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlphaKennyThing Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I'm personally going to pick up the Blasted Hallowheart set. Despite it not being a full 6'x4' board, it's only 3.5" off width ways, and 5.5" or so off lengthways. Slightly adjusted deployment zones and it's still game on. I'm after the ruins, which are going to be £20-25 alone, so I'll just pay the extra £25 for essentially two extra game boards. They'll be great for a quick thrown down with the Open War cards, or a more relaxed Matched Play game, or even Path to Glory. May use half of it for a Skirmish game, or something like that. Either way, it'll get used, and it fits much nicer on my dining room table than precariously balancing my Realm of Battle board off each edge! They get a lot of stick for being card, but the detail is really nice on 'em. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use them as terrain in AoS. The bigger ones are about 3 inches high while the smaller ones stand at 1" and are more useful as board details and decorations. I even had home rules for the statues warping space and time ("Broken Space, Broken Time") and apocalypse hour clock based on the forces attracting the attention of the Old Ones by fighting there.

GeneralZero Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Well, judging by the complete ruins build example, it seems that you need quite a lot of those boxes to do such a diaporama! I'd like more decors that are blocking ALL LoS, like in the 40K decors product line... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw someone share an image on instagram of the original Warhammer quest diorama by Mike Mcvey, so good.

Based on how these break down (and looking at the 40k ones), do you think if you just use half of them it would be big enough for a skirmish?
