amsoly Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Progress on my forest dragon! Took a few nights to pin and greenstuff. Getting some paint onto it and really digging it! any suggestions for a “counts as” for glade guard? Love those old sculpts and the theme. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I have re-designated my 30 GG as Shadow Warriors. They're both Aelves with bows and mine are in greens and browns, which is camouflagy enough. I've replaced the 3 Banner Bearers with my 3 Waywatchers - I'll just keep the musicians in even though their music does nothing rules-wise. I already have 20 SotW so feel it would look confusing on the table to have different models representing the same warscroll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amsoly Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 I really enjoy the shadow warrior models as well. Too confusing if I fielded both as shadow warriors I’m guessing. yeah I miss the waywatchers or a waywatchers hero. I first enjoyed waywatchers in 4th edition (?) army book with ridiculous trap rules and whatnot. Never played but sounded amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My plan is to buy some sisters/shadow warriors boxes to replace the Guard bows with the sisters flaming bows. And then I also get a bunch of shadow warriors. I feel icky simply using them as “counts as” without some kind of conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes sense - I'm sure I knew that but somehow got a bit too carried away when sorting out the last couple of hundred points! Are EG still decent? I only remember being able to abuse their save roll with the SotT spell for those defensive mortal wounds. Otherwise, I quite like the look of the SotW rules as a decent source of mortal wounds. EG are incredible, but only if you use them correctly. They are more expensive now but they are probably the most point efficient unit in all of AoS for their role. If you need a unit to sit still and ignore basically everything other than Mortal Wounds, EG are great. They will punch way higher than they should for their points too. If you want a unit that is almost as tanky, but without having to stay still, go Phoenix Guard instead. They're also better against Mortal Wounds obviously. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use them interchangeably as Sisters of the Watch, Darkshards, or Crossbows depending on the list I'm building. They are generic archers and no one has ever had an issue with it, since my army is very heavily themed with several converted units.

I only play with my friends so I’m sure I could push it. I’ve considered using some creative living city “counts as” that probably isn’t original. glade guard as crossbowmen glade lord with greatsword as freeguild general wardancers or swordmasters as greatswords (I got nothing for handgunners) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have a Glade Lord that I use as a General, but I really want mine on the Nomad Prince's 32mm base and the General is on a 25mm I dunno what to use my wardancers as yet either. I use my Wildwood Rangers as Greatswords already, and the Wardancers aren't using great weapons or wearing armor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Hi all Here is my latest variation on LIving City , I have some hammer and anvil units , and some movement shenanigans . I can decide if I want Geminids or Lifeswarm , I doubt I'll get too many spells off , so I might drop the Battlemage for an Anointed on foot to keep the Phoenix guard from running away , if I keep the Anointed with them , it will save me command points for battleshock to keep them fighting. The anointed on foot can dispel as well. I think it will be fun to play with , any suggestions ?

The Red King Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 So after years of thinking Alarielle looked amazing and recently getting into cities (living city to be exact), then playing a game against her and seeing her all painted in person and I needed a big monster to run alongside my cities and wouldn't you know it they had one just sitting on the shelf after all this time... Well a few weeks of quibbling and fretting about whether or not I could risk putting paint on her with my... average at best skill level I finally broke down and did it. I'm not sure about her spear (painted to represent the 4 seasons) and could maybe stand to touch up the bone in places, and of course I still need to add the wings, but all in all I'm actually pretty darn happy with how she turned out. I've never stressed so hard in my life as I did when I dumped super glue on the face of a $100+ dollar model to glue a skull mask on (to match my swampy sylvaneth). She's very golgari inspired for any MTG fans. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are supposed to be Wardancers. Not sure what miniatures they are based on ( would love to know!) , but they would work great as Evocators (ruleswise) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are Hordes models from Privateer Press, Nyss Legionnaires if I remember right. Did weapon swaps and gave them Eternal Guard Shields to make them fit the army better. I use them as my Wood Elf Liberators! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidings Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Here's my WIP fire phoenix. Finished the base last week, working on the bird now! The model is from Coolminiornot but I'm not sure if they still sell it. The rider is just a kitbash from Wild Riders and Glade Guard, the hard part was getting his legs just right and greenstuffing in between. And here's a test for the fire effect on the wings. Lemme know how it could be better! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adreal Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 So, finally got a game in last night against mawtribes. My list Nomad prince with ironoak skin Nomad prince Battlemage with cage of Thorns Black dragon with crossbow and spear of the Hunt 20 eternal guard 20 sisters of the watch 20 sisters of the watch 5 sisters of the thorn 5 wild riders 10 Shadow Warriors Emerald life swarm Extra cp. His list Guy on stonehorn (General) Huskard on thundertusk Huskard on thundertusk 4 mournfang 4 mournfang Butcher with cauldron 3 ogors on foot 3 ogors on foot. Played the mission that was hammer and anvil deployment with 3 objectives in each zone, you can burn them but you get more points if you hold them for longer. Gave him the first turn (we roll off for first turn rather then who drops first chooses) so he moved up and didn't do much at all. My first turn, shadow warriors pop up and take an objective off a ogor unit, dragon appears with them. Sisters kill 5 mournfangs (3 from one unit, 2 from the other), shadow warriors do 5 wounds to ogor unit (enough to kill 1 and hurt a second), dragon kills the second ogor with its crossbow and moves to engage the single mournfang. Wild riders kill two mournfang on the charge, dragon wiffs. His turn two, his general moves up to engage my sisters and my eternal guard (with all the buffs I can put on them, on them). His huskards move up to put some snowballs into my gun line. His charges almost wipe out my eternal guard, hurt the dragon and do nothing to the wild riders (1 wound I think) and the lone ogor engages the shadow warriors. My shooting from sisters take 5 wounds off his general. His attacks kill the dragon (second turn of wiffs), kill a single shadow warrior, kill 3 wild riders, kill almost all the sisters of the watch. Shadow warriors kill the ogor. Wild riders do 4 wounds to huskard. Battleshock removes a sister unit and pulls the eternal guard out of combat. My turn, with shooting I kill the last mournfang (Love shadow warriors, holding an objective and a flank by themselves) and the general (sisters are sooooo good) I have run away with points at this stage, something I never thought wanderers could do..... The next couple of turns see the huskard push up into my gunline, but I do manage to kill another before the game ends. Really fun game, but my first turn shooting really blunted his charge, so he didn't really threaten my home base 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
