With look out sir and all out defense they become less of a juicy target. I'll rather shoot at the threat coming for my objectives or shoot at units holding objectives or the monster that gives me victory points for killing. AoS isn't won just by killing stuff, it's all about the objectives and strategies. Also the battlesmiths ability range is 18'' as he's a totem which is a fairly decent range for rally. I am pretty sure consensus is that foot hero with 6 wounds are often time a liability to shooting and MW spam unless they have a way to protect themselves ( not just measly 6+ ward). In actuality Foot hero are sort of in a bad spot right now compare to monster heroes. Look out sir is not that good and All out defense has better uses on monster then foot hero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJetski Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Hypothetically speaking what if Fyreslayers had a ton of bodyguard units and every subfaction could fight first? Man that sure would be a crazy army Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they‘d have won before the Exodia kicks in they can also keep your miniatures 🙃🍪 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between all the mummies, vampires and now Frankenstein monsters, I might be able to manage a full Castlevania army! Or at least a DnD campaign. If one picks up the new war band, both undead blood bowl teams, the soul blight gravelords kits, and has access to Tomb Kings models, they could potentially create an army based on The Universal Studios Monsters. That is an army I'd pay good money to see completed. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragest Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) Imo Rally is, with coherency, the most boring and unfun rule of 3rd edition.

But hard be positive when every single leak are only nerfs for every single unit of a army that was allready a middle\bottom tier. Vulkites nerfed Heqrthguards nerfed Auric nerfed Magmadroth breaths nerfed Grimwrath in broken realm nerfed Now battlesmith nerfed again And also we know we gonna loose every unique lodge enhacement and cp as every 3.0 tome So,so far we know every single unit have been nerfed and now also some heroes nerfed too,only for a sligth buff to runes. Yes im too much negative but so far we (fyreslayers players) havent nothing to be positive The fires of Grimnir burn within you my guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indecisive Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 40K World Eaters are totally happening this year, summer-ish maybe after. Khorne here at the same time makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh that seems optimistic since the rumor leak suggest they still far away like after all the codexes come out especially since Knights and IG are pending in the pipeline after Tyranids and Chaos space marines i would even think they are the next edition starter box army given the timeline for 40K Edited March 1, 2022 by novakai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly it usually the Chaos marine legion and then a few month later it the AoS God army and then 40K get the daemon codex update out afterward. of course it depends on your definition of dual release. only thousand sons and disciple of tzeentch currently had any relavant units cross between the two army with Tzaangors when they where release. Deathguard and Maggotkin of Nurgle while both came out within 6 month of each other didn’t share any unit and the new daemon of Nurgle models where updated in the daemon codex instead along with Slaanesh. It unknown if this is the time they will release Khorngors for both system. 1 hour ago, zilberfrid said: Aren't world eaters just more space marines, but arguably cringier?

I mean yes but generally CSM are not look in the same light as the regular marines as they then to be more flavorful then your generic blue ultramarine release and get release at a fairer pace. then again Khorne is more of a straight forward concept and World eater are basically the current Khorne blood warriors but more powered armor ( since they are base on them) so it basically comes down to what you find is creative. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beliman Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 (edited) Chaos Space marines are close to what we have in Disciples, Maggotkin, Blades and Hedonites, with some Power-Armor elements. But they are far away from being "space marines in blue, white, black, red, etc...". Deathguard marines are a good example fo that: Spoiler Rubric Marines are really nice too: Spoiler Kharn the Betrayer is the first new "khorne" miniature for 40k (really close to our Blood warriors btw): Spoiler Slaanesh has "noise marines", saddly, they are still not updated (yet), but we have a nice model commemorating the old glam-rock look: Spoiler I hope to see the new Emperor's Children (Hedonites of Slaanesh 40k-style) because they look awesome!

zilberfrid Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 I do agree the different chaos space marines are not exactly the same like other colours of space marine, but it's mostly variations on a theme, with Tzeench keeping close and Nurgle straying further. I just really don't vibe with the Khorny design. I like metal for my ears, but that design feels old and overdone. But then I really don't like any flavour of space marine, so the variation I'd want to make them palatable would be more than fans of the design would like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea what is getting converted, but something definitely is. I have been meaning to make a blog post about using classic video game sprites as a guide for mini painting. Because they are so similar: Both game sprites and miniatures are small objects that have to be readable and impactful from far away. Seems like a perfect opportunity to do this with some Castlevania sprites. Edited March 1, 2022 by Neil Arthur Hotep 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
