If you have the models, I would include some more "hammers" - Maybe draw out 20 Plaguebearers to include 3 more drones, so you have a unit of 6 and a 3 drones. Apart from that, it looks fun. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krieger Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I haven't seen anyone post Harbinger spam. Has anyone tried running horseback Archaon and multiple Harbingers in a Plague Touched battalion? The 5++ invul save stacks. You could even add a warshrine for a further 6++ and re-roll wounds. Side note: This is why I think stacking is lame.

MrShyguy Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Hey there, new player getting into aos, and have a modelling question. I'm workin' on the blightkings and was wondering if people in a event would nitpick about not modeling say the icon bearer/sonorous tocsin but claiming you had one in your list?Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vomikron Noxis Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Another modelling question: what base size are your plaguebearers on? I've got 30 something painted atm, just considering whether to rebase them from 25 to 32mm before I assemble and paint the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaux Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Plaguebearers stand on 25mm bases. You can look that up on the GW page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vomikron Noxis Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Yeh that was my first thought, but apparently the start collecting box comes with 32mms. Also looks like the other lesser Daemons all come with 32s now. Just trying to work out if it's worth making the change now before I'm too far down the rabbit hole...

Just trying to work out if it's worth making the change now before I'm too far down the rabbit hole...I'm using 32mm as I prefer bigger bases for little scenery and stuff. I also ordered some 40k Poxwalkers (who come with 25mm bases) and bought a seperate bag of 32mm bases. I'll use them as plaguebearer proxies or i'll mix them in units with PB's. Visually speaking they are in the process of becoming plaguebearers actually Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vomikron Noxis Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I wonder if there'll be a ruling on base sizes in GHB2 or anything. There were rumours but tbh I don't see GW enforcing it any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for basing, I too think that GH2 will not include an explicit rule for it. However I do think they will again adress it in the House-rules section. To be honest there is way too much talk about bases which in the practicle sence make very little difference, largey due to how damage transports over and how certain 'battles' are also won with 1 or 2 models less, who under smaller base circumstances could have walked in there. What I hower do expect from GH2 is relative minor changes to model costs and hopefully much more drastical changes to Core rules designs again. Because honestly (and I know not all agree) the Core rules/Rules of 1/Summoning etc. are causing this game much more of a handicap than it has to have. Look at 40K by comparison. The simple fact that summonning is done after the movement phase, requires you to be 9" away and the way heroes interact is also not done before moving just allows the game to syng up better, much better even. The more I look into AoS costs the more I think it's a job well done. Everytime I create an army I don't think X should most certainly be Y instead. This is also very true for 40K. When I look at AoS' Core rules and GH adaptations I still feel the need to use House-rules on top of that. The moment you (or anyone) needs 3 supplements to play a game correctly who all adress core rules you know the core rules are shaky as heck...

Vomikron Noxis Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Not gonna quote that whole post but I couldn't agree more!! Generally speaking I have a great deal more confidence in GW and their ability to do things "right" than I did even a year ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vomikron Noxis Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Me again... keeping the discussion alive by asking for some feedback on another list... again it's not exactly a killer list, but I want to paint up some blightkings for my Nurgle forces: Allegiance: ChaosHeroesGreat Unclean One (240)- General- Trait: Lord of WarDaemon Prince Of Nurgle (160)- Artefact: Chaos RunebladeDaemon Prince Of Nurgle (160)- Artefact: Chaos RunebladeBattleline10 x Plaguebearers Of Nurgle (100)10 x Plaguebearers Of Nurgle (100)10 x Plaguebearers Of Nurgle (100)5 x Putrid Blightkings (180)- Mortal Nurgle Battleline5 x Putrid Blightkings (180)- Mortal Nurgle BattlelineUnits3 x Plague Drones Of Nurgle (220)3 x Plague Drones Of Nurgle (220)3 x Nurglings (80)3 x Nurglings (80)3 x Nurglings (80)BattalionsTallyband of Nurgle (100)Total: 2000/2000 Pretty much the same sort of thing.

Killax Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Nurgle being their latest 40K example also seems fleshed out really well. I can only hope and expect that trend of Nurgle being replicated into AoS aswell. Meaning Nurgle has the tools soon to deal with swarms on rolls of 6's but otherwise packs a mean but slow punch. As for upcomming Nurgle stuff, I do expect the half of the Glottkin sprue to finally be used for the upcomming Great Unclean One. This is the sprue Im talking about: The prime reason I expect this is because of the art we have seen from Nurgle in the 40K dexes and this part contains but a few Glottkin related parts that can also be used very easily on other models. So what I actually expect is that GW will thake the reversed approach they have taken for Skarbrand and actually have the 'character' enter the game first while I honestly would be suprised if they didn't finish the GUO sculpt years ago. As we more or less for certain know that Skarband's sculpt was also finished when the Bloodthirster sculpts where made. What I am uncertain about is if the Poxwalkers will also appear in AoS like the Tzaangors. It could happen but the current variants dont fit AoS'design completely well however it could very well be that Poxwalkers in their own box will be very different from these in the 8th dual starter box.

Fascinating idea, It would make sense as having such a large kit dedicated to a unique character seems overly costly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowgra Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Imho the guo isn't nearly as slim and tall as the glottkin. Imho it will be much larger and not as tall. The kits i also think will be entirely separated, as they did for skarbrand and bts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing with the Skarbrand kit is that he comes with the Bloodthirster sprue aswell. You get spare stuff so to say. And as above GUO from latest art looks 90% like Glottkin. The head and arms are all that are different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOtherJosh Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Hey there, new player getting into aos, and have a modelling question. I'm workin' on the blightkings and was wondering if people in a event would nitpick about not modeling say the icon bearer/sonorous tocsin but claiming you had one in your list?You can do a whole bunch of "kit bashing" and customization and can use almost any of the bits (with some work) on most of the minis.What is neat is the word-smithing that was used in labeling the Sonorous Tocsin. (Sonorous means deep and resonant and Tocsin is an alarm sounded by bells.) I'm a big fan of the huge bell on the model, and changed out head and torso on my icon bearer.Given that there is no differentiation between having a shield or a second weapon or any particular weapon, the big key is determining who is the Blightlord.
