You're getting 36 of them instead of 20 for one thing, and they actually have options in how you build them, unlike Deathrattle. Current Deathrattle come with sword and spear options, don't they? Anyway, if number of models is what you're after, just get those Wargames Atlantic skeleton at 35€ for 32 models. The Tomb Kings skeletons are definitely not worth that price with their low fidelity and awful building experience. Speaking as someone who has built and painted, like, 30 of those dudes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're getting 36 of them instead of 20 for one thing, and they actually have options in how you build them, unlike Deathrattle. For the quantity there are far better options that are also far cheaper. Also I don't think that pure numbers is an excuse to charge that much for pretty bad and old models. At that point would you buy stick figure-ish blobs of plastic as troops for £40 just because you get quite a lot of them? No, clearly quality is part of the equation and it is not as if GW has had to design them and create the molds from scratch so cost is not really an excuse here, all the work was already done 20 years ago. And as has been pointed out the new skellies have weapon options, I have a pegleg skelly weitlding duel cutlasses from that kit. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Krungharr Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I think I finally have all the dudes and monsters to make a full fledged Chaos Dwarves army now, at least 3K worth. Took the plunge and splurged on a Sorcerer on Lammasu, just too fun of a masterpiece to not have! All the infantry will be Dispossessed converted to big hats with sculpted thumbtacks and appropriate beards as needed. The Chorfs have a bit of speed options with the Bull Centaurs/Tauruks, and Taurus/Lammasu heroes. I think they can be run in a variety of ways and hold their own. Anyone used or faced them yet in TOW? 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the wargames atlantic skeletons are not exactly shining beacons of quality and building experience. Shoutouts to the spindly spears all having 4 connector points on the sprue and tiny little joins connecting the torsos to the arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerekKruger Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) I just order 15 Dark Riders/Doomfire Warlocks. Never have I been so happy GW included them in every budget box, and that they are kinda meh on AoS 😄 Now all I am lacking for my Dark Elves in Bolt Throwers, and I'm not sure what to do for them. Metal ones go for a lot on eBay, and the 3d printed ones on Etsy look not great. I'm wondering how hard it would be to built the Bolt Thrower itself somehow, and kit bash some Dark Elf warriors as crew. Other option is I wait for High Elf ones to get rereleased and Dark Elfify them, but I don't know how viable that would be.

JackStreicher Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 (edited) Tabled the Lizardmen after getting all my Executioners and my Sorceress shredded by arcane missles. So I won’t know if Executioners are worth it He had his Slann left who he ket flee off the board on purpose the Kharabdyss was solid, witches were brutal the (basically 3) bolt throwers (2 reapers + chariot) killed 2 krixigors, 4 Cold one Knights, a Stegadon with Skink and dealt 3 wounds to a bastiladon - super solid when one can place them on a wood! Lizardmen really struggle against the high initiative of Elves. Cauldron: This thing is just weird, in the last turn it basically couldn’t move due to only being 6 Wyches left. It’s just odd and clunky. The bound spell is bad (since everyone brings a lv 4 wizard). Idk if I‘ll add it again or if I‘ll just add another 10 Wyches/Executioners. after this image I killed the Temple Guard, reformed. he charged his monsters, killed my wyches. I charged and killed the Dkinks + Bastilladon. His monsters were shot. he had killed 787 points of mine. 570 of them in shooting (spells and Javelins) All magical Vortexs in the game did nothing and either stayed on the spot or scattered away from enemies. (They never seem to do anything in every game xD) Edited February 27 by JackStreicher 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo Wyches are the best unit in the entire book. They’re also the only non-monster melee unit that packs a punch, the whole rest has too little attacks to do anything (including Black Guards) idk about Sisters of Slaughter - they don’t have poison and they have less attacks while being absurdly expensive. I‘d argue they’re just bad. Executioners are plainly overcosted imo. The Hydra and the Kharibdyss are solid.

Ejecutor Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Guys, it could be a coincidence or GW getting ready for an announcement tomorrow during the Warhammer World Open Day, but it is appearing me in the site that the big Bret box is back in stock: Warhammer: The Old World Core Set – Kingdom of Bretonnia Edition (Inglés) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogregut Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Decided that Warriors of Chaos will be my next army so had a dig through the backlog and put a couple of units together tonight. Army will be a mix of marks, so far I have 10 marauders of Tzeench and 10 Forsaken of Slannesh 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
