That's a nasty difference in currencies ugh. So it saves us what, like 30 USD in total? Basically the hero unit for 'free' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EccentricCircle Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Very disappointed to hear that they are getting rid of the gloss wash paints. That seems like quite a poor trade off for what they are adding. I use Nuln oil gloss on so many things... Does anyone know of a good alternative? Does one of the other paint ranges make a good gloss black wash, or is there a reliable gloss varnish I could put over whatever the regular Nuln oil ends up looking like? I've got some big projects in progress which are going to need buckets of the stuff, so I'm quite alarmed that they are just scrapping it with little warning! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuln oil and a couple of drops of gloss varnish. I doubt the colour of the existing shades will change just how they go on a model. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general I find just using a gloss varnish on top creates a similar effect. Even GW's 'ardcoat should do the trick. I tend to spray my models with a matte varnish when I'm done painting, so if I want something to appear slick I'll go back and put the gloss varnish over those parts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I have been buying gloss and matte medium from artist's stores and mixing them 1:1 with water and a drop of dish soap in old paint bottles. You can thin inks with those mixtures to make them behave like washes with the appropriate finish. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose that it will be "4 wounds or less" to help Gluttons. Ogres just need to have 2" reach or their coherency rules adjusted. Their issues shouldn't be addressed by a 6-month long special GHB rule. If it's less than 4 wounds, my Ogres continue their damnation in the closet. If it's 4 or less, cool, I might bring them out for a few games...but their rules are still pretty awful right now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I painted up a leadbelcher heavy kragnos alpha list that would get a huge boost from this. Its kragnos + soulscream bridge + big units of leadbelchers, where the strat is to bridge out the leadbelchers, shoot with the extra shots, 3d6 charge for impact hits, then clean up whats left in melee. Its probably got some consistency issues because of bridge being inconsistent with ogors but I haven't gotten it on the table yet. The list: Spoiler Allegiance: Ogor Mawtribes- Mawtribe: None- Grand Strategy:- Triumphs:LeadersIcebrow Hunter (125)*- General- Command Trait: Winter RangerSlaughtermaster (140)*- Artefact: Wizardflesh ApronKragnos, The End of Empires (720)*Battleline2 x Frost Sabres (55)*2 x Frost Sabres (55)*4 x Frost Sabres (110)*- Reinforced x 1Units8 x Leadbelchers (360)*- Reinforced x 18 x Leadbelchers (360)*- Reinforced x 1Endless Spells & InvocationsSoulscream Bridge (70)Core Battalions*Battle RegimentTotal: 1995 / 2000Reinforced Units: 3 / 4Allies: 0 / 400Wounds: 112Drops: 1 I went with winter ranger hunter for the general to get those extra CP for all out attacks. I've been meaning to go back and make changes to possibly add kronspine, some variant of this could be pretty interesting if they fight in two ranks.

GenericEdgyName Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I know it's a very minor thing, but Frontier developments mentioned in a financial document that the AoS rts they're making is set to release in 2024, so that's a long time away, but at least we know it's still being made. The rumour engine is very exciting for me though. Ferns are to me really evocative of anything prehistoric and they do appear on the underworlds warband, so I'm excited for the best faction in all of warhammer to get the glory that the scaly children of the old ones deserve! 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always viewed gluttons as more of a wound sink. They are about 11 points a wound. I'd think they could drop that a bit and suddenly gluttons would be a very interesting counter to the meta move towards "high quality wounds" i.e. things that do mortals or high rend. Like vanguard raptors. For elite armies built around precisions mortals, a block of 12 gluttons can actually present an issue. I'd like to see them more like 9 points a wound though.

The switch from unit size 3 to 6 hurt gluttons in a big way too. Sure 12-18 gluttons are a ridiculous number of wounds and own objectives well but its hard to listbuild around. A lot of units got nerfed through the size changes now that I think about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yukishiro1 Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) It's hard for me to believe they'd do something like modifying fighting ranges in a battlepack, that seems weird even by GW's standards. Surely that's a core rules tweak, not something to pop into a battlepack. Why would Ogors in Thondia have shorter range than Ogors in InsertRandomlyGeneratedPlacenameHere?
