I can't for the life of me settle on what tf they wanted this part of her head to be! I think your right. I think paint is why this model didn't turn out.

I can't for the life of me settle on what tf they wanted this part of her head to be! 95% sure that's just her covered gorget/pauldron connection being raised up by her arm and hugging her face. You can see a theme they all have a bit of the golden sigmarite metal uncovered by their necks. It's like the cloaks the Praetors wear. It's stylish and marks them out but after a quick closer look they're still packing a Liberator's worth of massive armor and giant pauldrons under it. Juggernaut in a disguise vibes, there's no hiding that 9-foot tall armored badassery. (It's funnier when he's standing next to the passengers barely taller than his elbows) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malakithe Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Anyone going stormkeep and just loading up on battleline? Might be cool to have 3x10 Vindictors back up by a LRelictor and LCastellant. Stab stab for MWs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanteAlighieri Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Was Lynus Ghalmorian the only named character to get squatted in the new tome? I expect no one gives a ****** since he wasn't great, despite him being one of the few non-Hammers of Sigmar named characters. Was there some ruling on warscrolls originating from white dwarf magazine? Obviously his scroll is utterly out of sync with the new ones so I'm just curious if theres any indication he could be re-added in the future. RIP we hardly knew you.

Stab stab for MWs I am building towards a list with 40 (+krondhys, relictor, vexillor) but painting them will take a while. Hope to test it on TTS in October. I think it can work but it has some obvious limitation and should have a hard time Vs opponents with a very high damage cap. The more I think about lists the more a mixed arms seems a better way to go (a ranged threat, a melee hammer, some redeemers) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hannibal Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Hi everybody, I´ve seen some love for Lord Arcanum on Tauralon in this thread. I just wonder why. In AoS 2.0 nobody seemed to use this model. What changed that LAoT is suddenly a piece to consider? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A nice shield wall with maybe some ranged behind or maybe something with bite to flank and pin something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Comet Trail ability is greatly buffed in utility compared to the 2.0 one. He also has a better spell, but this is minor compared to the points above.

Lengthster Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Speaking of the LAoT, and I'm sorry if this has already been asked, but does his comet trail affect himself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakithe Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 (edited) Not sure if this was discussed and if so I cant sift through all the back pages, buuuut how does Bless Weapons interact with Judicators Celestial Blast(1 MW and attack sequence ends)? Bless Weapons gives 2 hits on a 6 but on a 6 to hit the bow does 1 MW and the attack ends. Does Bless not work on something like that? edit: I guess the same would apply to Vindictors Edited September 18, 2021 by Malakithe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Bless Weapons isnt as useful for units that do MWs on 6s I'm not sure if Bless Weapons works on ranged attacks anyway. If it does though, it's really good on Judicators and Vanguard-Raptors with crossbows, where every hit counts as 2 hits instead of 1.

But I think this is one is really ugly, that's just my point of view :). Lena Stormspire's face was also a pain for the eyes. Still my personal taste, I think some old metal cast or wfb mini were better when it came to female faces. But that's just me Edited September 18, 2021 by Maturin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
