well, that kills my enthusiasm! not going to lie, saurus's are the main draw for me.
How about the leaders? is there a way to make it work for the leaders like the oldblood or scar vet on carnosaur? -
hope this isnt a thread necromancy...}
Is there any hope for a saurus heavy list? -

for marble you might want to start with a prime of white or a light grey, and paint it white. after that I'd stipple on a very light grey, then freehand veins of a darker grey in. for bronze I would basecoat in dark aqua, then drybrush on a brass or bronze color
didn't even consider a dark aqua for the bronze! I think I decided to do bronze for a different model, mostly one that is made for front line combat. since a cannon can be killed easily, it makes sense if it crumbles easily.
Now, are there any good painting tutorials for this? -
so.... is it still taboo to play with 3d printed models?

Hello! I got a crazy idea for painting a war machine with a third party miniature. I am planning on taking a Zeus miniature from Of gods and men and painting him up to look like a statue construct to use as a cannon. I plan on painting the cloth on his model purple, but how would I go about painting such a thing? I know I want to have a stone texture, or even a bronze one, but aside from that I don't exactly know what would look good. Anyone have any tips on painting marble or brass?

100% personnel aesthetic opinion only here.
From what iv seen a unit of 2 or 4 dragons as part of a bigger army look fantastic on the table. I run a Cities list with a unit of 2 (for cities there a great combo of wounds/save/mobility _good harrassers) and they look awsome. I can't quit put my finger on it, but when iv seen a full army of dragons on table I think they look awful. Just this pile wings and ****** popping out everywhere.
And again, never played against or with a full dragon list but oh wow, it looks like more work getting stuff done than a table full of Sylvaneth trees.
Nothing to do with how they play. Just an opinion on how they look.
I mean I get it, but after having an army of 20 eels I am used to the uniform look. they get put together only one way essentially. Still, I get your point...
but come on, where else can I get a full army of dragons?!-

Personally if I was doing that I'd be a bit "Meta be damned" and just take a variety of sculpts, starting with the ones I like most. I'd hate to buy 12 Dracothian guard and them all be identical, winning or not.
well, I do plan on having them all be magnetized or at least pinned, so I could change out the arms where I can.
Here is a sample list that is subject to change! AlsoI need a good way to copy and paste lists
SpoilerChoose a Grand Alliance
Choose Allegiance & Mortal Realm
Choose Grand Strategy

Battalion:

In all honesty, I just want to run an army of dragons or close to dragons. I was very dissapointed by the lumineth in this regaurd, so I am thinking of just doing storm casts. Meta chasing will always be a thing, And I am more looking at lists surrounding the two true dragons than anything else (while still remaining a threat)
-
hate to double post but what is the "proper" loadout for the stormdrake guard? and which flavor of dracoth rider is the best usually?

The big dragons are pretty overcosted atm so they're hard to fit into a list. They're also a bit fragile for points.
The smaller dragon rider guys are absolutely tearing up the meta and probably in line to get nerfed (again lol)
yea, i was afraid of that. I am slowly working up the courage to buy one and turn it into the magic dragon. I plan on using it to keep at a distance and bully small units or something. The other components of this list is x2 squads of dracoth guard, a knight draconis and a seperate guard, and 2 units of prosecutors.
this is super far off, so I may post my in progress list soon.
Edit: whelp, this is my list!
Allegiance: Stormcast Eternals -
Stormhost: Hammers of Sigmar (Scions of the Storm) -
Mortal Realm: Chamon -
Grand Strategy: Hold the Line -
Triumphs:
LEADERS Yndrasta, The Celestial Spear (320)
* Lord-Celestant on Dracoth (215)* - General - Command Trait: Envoy of the Heavens - Stormstrike Glaive & Thundershield - Artefact: Drakescale Armour - Mount Trait: Celestial Instincts
Lord-Imperatant (175)* - Artefact: Hammer of Might
UNITS
2 x Dracothian Guard Concussors (220)
10 x Vindictors (260)
5 x Vindictors (130)
3 x Annihilators with Meteoric Grandhammers (240)
3 x Annihilators (200)
3 x Praetors (165)
3 x Aetherwings (65)
CORE BATTALIONS *Warlord ADDITIONAL ENHANCEMENTS Artefact
So this list is just the barebones of what I can get / use without purchasing too much. What I would need to get is L-C on dracoth, the warcry box of stormcasts, the concussors, and second hand aetherwings.
I have no clue what I am doing -
Alright, slowly coming back to AoS because I cannot resist the allure of dragon armies. I know they are very much the meta, but I didn't see a lot of the actual dragons in lists
How do the two Dracoth models fair? -

I must be missing something because as far as I understand, bladelords are not battleline... and tinkering in army builder also indicated that they are not, albeit army builder isn’t always reliable.
They are battle line if you have one Scinari unit
-
I wish there was a command point from the regent that allows you to reform a shining company. That would be handy
-
Kinda confused on why they would get rid of battalions, considering Broken realms gave us a lot of them
-
Nah guys, you are thinking too small for the mysterious dwarf...
it is so obviously Grimnir after he ran out of hair dye, took up smoking, and his bro smithing together enough pieces of gold to remake him!

Hello, I Have come once again to extol the virtues of the lord reagent And wardens
played a game against night haunt and he was pretty much key for allowing my 20 man wardens to both attack and defend. One squad pretty much folded up an entire flank and won me the game after I fully buffed them with ethereal blessings, G power of hysh, speed of hysh (cast from archers) and an all out attack from him following them around.
Also helped to kill a unit of blade gheists before they slaughtered my wardens.
Now if only the books will treat wardens with the respect they deserve...

Really glad to see the warcry rules for the showdown between Light of Eltharion and Arkhan.
Thought it was odd that BR:Teclis missed out that cool bit of the narrative in the scenarios section, makes more sense now
I am just happy I can play with blade lords and lore seeker now. Those guys were custom made for skirmish games it feels, and look more fun to play then the stone horns

I hope there are some more fun stories of other armies being stuck in Chamon. Could think of some fun ideas of a lumineth detachment getting stuck in Chamon on the way to heal a part of the realm, and maybe allying with dwarfs to make it through this miniature age of chaos now. Or, maybe a faction is working to make a realmgate into Chamon, and the forces of order need to protect it and make sure it doesn’t get corrupted?
-
I want to see some stories of Armies now trapped in Chamon. This is basically a miniature Age of Chaos event, and could have some fun stories involved. Biggest thing I wanna see is a story where some civilizations of Chamon start to build a new realmgate, and have it be a danger of accidentally becoming a new chaos portal. Maybe with some Lumineth there to help / make sure they don’t hurt the realm more.
Honestly having a teclian vanguard army becoming trapped in the realm of metal could be a fun basis for a story overall.-

The only thing I wanna see now is Teclis’s Reaction after Belakor.
”Awesome. I brought hope to the realms, won against Nagash, and most importantly ended the necroquake aftershocks. Now magic can finally return back to norma-“
*The sound of every realmgate Chamon blowing up from massive backlashes of chaos magic.*
”God..... Dammit.”-

I just wanna see a novel or story where wardens are shown as awesome and their weapons actually doing things, instead of just letting the aralith shine (*Cough* BR:Teclis *Cough* )

I played a few games with lumineth, and I gotta say there is a whole lot that can go wrong or right with them in any given game. I got lucky with my last game and had gotten the top of turn for every round, and it was pretty harrowing making sure I had every buff in place in order to withstand a charge from a bunch of very angry Bullgors. The lord-regeant really did prove himself vital with this, as the Greater power of Hysh spell is worth it's weight in gold in my opinion. When combined with my wardens it allowed me to get an offensive buff off in addition to ethereal blessings / Protection of hysh, which gave them a whole lot of longevity.
Also finally learned to just put speed of hysh on my dawn riders. I always mean to cast it with someone else but lumineth almost need a flow chart of what to cast when. I tried going for lambient light, but it wasn't always helpful if I was being honest. I may put it on my cathallar in the future just because she will be walking with my wardens up the field.-

I honestly can’t see how this is better than morathi? Morathi was basically just plot-******, where somehow everything goes absolutely right for Morathi and she really faces no hardship, her nor her daughters.

On the traitor bit... Think it’s Morathi? Alarielle wasn’t part of the binding of Slaanesh, so it makes sense that she could be the traitor in “your” midst, and thus leave herself out of it?
I honestly like the idea of the good side having a complete victory for once (even if it is pyrrhic in it’s own way) and not have to deal with another “just as planned” justification. Feels good to have the closest thing to a victory since the End times!-

Yea, then a ladder league wouldn’t be the best place to try this out. It’s a real shame, because I am starting a Kings of War salamander army, so I was hoping to double dip with a big Saurus force since that’s most of the models I am bringing. I think I’ll stick with my idoneth for this kinda stuff then, cause eels pretty much do everything I want saurs to do anyways.
still, it’s a damn shame that skinks seem to be the eternal victors of lizardmen.
