Yea that’s what I meant. I was just curious if placing some kind of space marine helmet from puppets war would fit the model. Otherwise, very valuable info!

You have to tell us how he helmets fit together, and maybe how they compare proportionally to space marine helmets if you have any. Gotta update that conversion post somehow. also, how easy would it be to magnetize everything on mister mountain? I’m thinking the arms, head and possibly the mountain on the back just so I can swap out from aralith to avalorn

I know of a few locals in my area that love these guys too, so I think it’s safe to say that the outlook may be pretty good. I agree with how beautiful they are. They look absolutely amazing in formation, even with only 8 guys completed. Can’t wait to see 50 of them on the table!

I know I'm going to get a lot of hate for saying this... but honestly one of my most dissapointing units is the Morrsarr Guard. They are the only worthwhile hammer in my idoneth, but off the charge they are so pillow-fisted. unless your opponent gets unlucky against the onslaught of rend '-' eel attacks, they don't do too much damage without the rend or charge bonuses they get. I can remember so many times where a squad of 9 failed to even kill 5 liberators with their spears off the charge because of how badly I rolled.

on the topic of dice... I absolutely love mine. They are super fun to roll, and I think I'm going to find more. Anyone know what shape they are considered? I looked up barrel and crystal styles but they are not exactly the same.

got any source for that?

holy carp on a canoe batman, Those prices! Dear lord I expected 5 guys to be 50$, why in the hell are they 60?! at least the moo mountain is reasonably priced, but ****** me till I ****** that will be $120 for a squad of 10! who the heck thought that the warden build would be the cheaper option?

Yea, that and the fact that they all have -1 rend, and every 6 explodes into two extra hits... sounds a bit broke, but also very, very tempting.

As an elf player, I can only say that I would throw the gauntlet down... but considering the height difference I feel that I would have an unfair advantage when it gives you a concussion. anyways, how brutal is a lurid Haze army with a ****** ton of marauders? Is it as much of a no brained as it sounds?

SO I decided to try another list, this time featuring my favorite (non Gor) units: the bullgors! Allegiance: Beasts of Chaos - Mortal Realm: Ghyran - Greatfray: Gavespawn LEADERS Doombull (100) - General Tzaangor Shaman (150) UNITS 9 x Bullgors (420) - Great Axes 6 x Bullgors (280) - Great axes 6 x Bullgors (280) - Shield 3 x Chaos Spawn (150) BEHEMOTHS Cygor (140) Ghorgon (160) Ghorgon (160) BATTALIONS Hungering Warherd (150) This was just something I threw together for fun, so I know it probably stinks, but what the heck. Didn’t pick out relics or spells, but I don’t know any of them anyways.

Same. I got the horses to paint and I got three more wardens from the original box set, not to mention Eltharion and the mist weaver to do. Also, They released all the painting guides today on the Lumineth.... except for Ziatrec? What the heck?

From personal Experience at least the leviadon from the akhelian corps to give at least 1 re-roll, but if you can have the Akhelian King follow them around telling them to hit better then that’s the best support you can give IMO. If you can afford it then the Eidolon of the storm is great for re-rolling wounds, but usually you cannot afford one in a list.

Honestly I would love a lore update annually. It helps keep the players up to date, and maybe could be a compendium for ‘era specific’ rules like the necroquake and the storm of Sigmar rules, or for old abbreviated campaigns like the city fighting rules.

I can’t say running a unit of 4, but I have ran a unit of three. They are hit and miss to be honest, but are fairly valuable to provide something that doesn’t rely on a charge in order to do damage. They are also pretty tough, so they can soak up some damage before losing combat efficiency. Best used with the akhelian corps so they get one re-roll, but outside of that they can be good. Just be careful of monster hunters.

Honestly I am pretty excited to see the warband. With such a short unit roster any extra units make me excited, especially a small glimpse at a new temple! I hope we get some more info on them soon too. I honestly wish they started with river over the mountain aspect to be honest. plus, I wonder how each temple will be implemented in the future. Will every Tyrian nation be solely devoted to a temple like Ymetrica is? Or will the temples become their own thing and each nation will be getting their own special rules like Ziatrec or Syar?

I honestly think a river spirit might be a horse or centaur or something. They are fast, fitting the flowing nature of rivers, majestic, and it’s a nice call back to that LOTR scene with the Ringwraiths in the river. Other than that, I think there is room for more sea serpents, dragons and reptiles in AoS. After all it’s a motif for a reason, and there is ample room for more of them in the game. For zenith, I’m thinking it’s going to be some kind of hawk, Phoenix or something. There is too many associations with sun gods and birds for GW to pass it up I think. That or it will be a dragon or even an angel, something to show the light lumineth love so much.

I think depravity only works with heroes, but the idea is strong for everything else. The problem I have with Ungors is that their not gors. I absolutely love the god model and the lore behind them, and with Ungors being lesser I kinda don’t care about them as much? Kinda weird, but still I like the big Gor energy. I understand that Ungors are probably better all around though. May just use Bestigors exclusively though? Other than that, thanks for the advice. Again I am a long way off from doing this, but I am sorely tempted, especially after having so much fun playing Beastmen in Total war and Rim world.

At least you guys aren’t wondering if you brought your dawnriders inside after priming. It’s 2:16am and raining outside, and I can’t remember if I brought them in.

Okay, sounds good. I may go with Darkwalkers instead because I like the outflanking, but it's not set in stone. I think I Like both, but I wouldnt be playing it any time soon so no worries. Just wanted to give a little thought exercise for this to be frank. I don't know what I want more fluff wise though. my vision for the general is a beastlord or doombull that used to be lumineth and got turned into a beast via a transmutation spell, and retains enough thought to become a shaman / leader of his tribe.

Okay, that makes a bit of sense. I managed to make two lists despite not knowing what the heck I am doing, so hopefully they don't suck! Don't have anything picked out besides the realm they are from (hysh) for background fluff ideas. 1st list: Depraved warheard: And next is the depraved drove, which I guess can be played with hedonites if I wanna be crazy.

So I'm getting really tempted by starting this army as a counter to my high borne lumineth. What is a good build for beginners? I want to move towards an undivided kinda army with a lean towards slaanesh, but tzaangors are so good. What do you guys recommend?

I played warcry with them and it wasn’t too bad? Didn’t really have a chance to go to base to base and they were largely singular models, but still not too bad.

Yea, this is going to be a slow grow for me, if even that. I want to get 40 more wardens and 30 sentinels, but ****** me sideways the price gouging is real. And, as others in my gaming group pointed out these models are not even that good to play with because of how flimsy the spears are. I’m sure glad I’m paying premium for a model that can break if you look at it sideways. yea, I think it’s time I start finding cheaper ways to pick them up. I love the army and fluff, but even without the near 200 dollar Teclis model picking up guys is going to cost me at least 500 buckerinos for a solid core even before the mountains come out. I can already tell that the stone guard are going to be, like, 50$ for 5 too... if I want Aelves I can probably play cities of Sigmar cheaper and have more options. what really pisses me off too is that good sales do not guarantee more product down the line either, so it’s kinda souring the mood for me too.

Yea, I think that Once The lumineth fully release we will be getting more data beyond TTS. The wardens look really useful, and with the right spells I think they will be pretty versatile depending on the spells. The ethereal blessings one in particular is something that I am pretty keen to look at, especially with the re-rolling 1’s battalion. If all spells go off then you can have a pretty solid front line against rend. When combat starts pop an aether quartz on them and cast power of Hysh, and you could be getting some good damage out of them (I hope.) i can’t wait till I can get my whole army together. The price is what’ll get me though. Never played a horde army first hand, so seeing that it will be 420$ for the core troops will be harsh

Not going to lie that sounds a little too floppy for what I have in mind. I was thinking mini mag tray as well, but these look great for lining boxes!
