  1. 2018: I'm 15 days away from completing last year's resolution of doing something hobby related every day for the full year.

    Pros: I got a lot of models built and painted, including ~3500 point army of Stormcast. Cons: Bringing painting supplies on vacation, those days where it became 11:45 and I still hadn't done anything because I wasn't feeling it. Neutrals: Nobody watched my awkward VLog.

    I don't recommend sticking to the must do something every day regiment. I do recommend painting and modeling as often as you feel it though. 

    2019: Take a day off from the hobby, get into exercise, learn something new (the guitar?), and finish some armies (Shooting for 6 1,000 point armies).

    I believe something similar has been done multiple times, and been shut down as many times.

    also what exactly would a only rumor forum look like.

    dont get me wrong it sounds interesting, but not beeing able to show possible seen releases from other sides that aren’t related with games workshop at all, will probably mean that the forum will be used like maybe ones per month, if at all.

    This rumor chat forum would just be plain boring, if no man-thing gives his oppinion of what army and why it could be released next.

     

    It has not been tried here on TGA, because all we have ever had on TGA is this thread. Honestly, it would look a lot like this: Dakka .

    Currently there’d be a few active threads in the forum: Wrath and Rapture, Moonclan, etc, and threads for previous rumors (Nightvault, AoSv2, Beasts of Chaos, etc).

    You'd may also lower a few of the speculation threads on the main forum (the Wrath and Rapture one for example). That whole thread would be great discussion that could have taken place in this thread, but it would currently be buried under a ton of comments.

    There is not much left to  sort out really. The kit is what it is. It was misleading, but now we know.  If you want the sprues that are actually in it (which you can read this thread for the details) then buy it.

    No. Missing product is never a “deal with it situation”. Imagine buying a car from a dealership, but they forgot to put in the engine.

    This is also still up on their website without any sort of notification or disclaimer, with the same picture that shows everything.

    Then there is the fact that they appear to be going against their usual Customer Service and not issuing any replacement parts. They can ask for proof of purchase, which is either the receipt, or if they are to be trusted, the barcode ripped off the box.

    I have a feeling they knew about it. This was a big terrain release and they hardly promoted it at all. 

    My account of things, I recall on launch day that it wasn’t listed among the preorder terrain button, but that you had to dig through pre-orders to find it. My local FLGS did not receive one on launch day (States) and I had to order it separately through them (Which I didn’t receive until today).

    So I have this funny idea that they may have known there was an issue with the box.

    In today's preview, the 3rd list contains 20 Tzaangors, 6 Skyfires and a Shaman. Unless I'm mistaken, these units are worth 980 points.

    So either the endless spell is free, or we should expect a point change for at least one of these units (or maybe they just made a mistake).

    Do you think it's possible these units will have different points when used as BoC or Tzeentch units?

    If there’s a 20 point reduction on either, that would put the spell right at 40 points. 80 if both.

    This is either an early concept for the mounted Knight of Shrouds or perhaps a hint at NEW BLOODKNIGHTS!?

    Considering the similar color scheme to the Nighthaunt stuff, I think it’s concept art for the Knight of Shrouds

    Is this an actual GW store or an FLGS?

    My local non-GW put everything not in the new boxes on a discount shelf.

    There are a lot of clampack heroes there. Clampacks I would think wouldn’t be selling well since a) they’re too expensive for one model and b) you can pick them up in the SC or other starter boxes.

    On second thought, extend that to a few of the unit boxes listed there.

  7. I was at 50,000 points of models, which dropped to 48,000 with GHB2018, and then back up with Soul Wars and Malign Sorcery.

    It all began long ago.

    It started with collecting Battalion Boxes in 8th Ed. There were a few bigger boxes. There were a few eBay collections.

    Then it ballooned to 1000 points. In this expansion I looked at a lot of 2000 point army lists and planned the 1000 point armies to use similar unit choices.

    This expanded to 2000 points for a few armies when GW killed the old world. TK and Brets have been there since, changing point cost only with GHB.

    New model additions at that point came to fill the new armies. 

    In the past year, I’ve gone back to buying big boxes. It’s just not worth the price to buy and build the old sets, and worth waiting for the SC or Battleforces.

    For using these in play in casual games, I recall that prior to the GHB 2016 there were a number of gamer created “points” equivalents in use.

    I recall the use of “wounds” and a variety of points systems that were in use based on calculations based on unit stats. 

    Or Bring X number of warscrolls.

    While certainly not perfect it’s a valid method to do rough estimates.

    Technically ... for legacy 8e armies against legacy 8e armies one might be able to do points entirely based on the points from 8e.

    And still get to benefit from the streamlined play rules in AoS.

    Or just use the points from the original GHB.

    What is this model on the right hand side? It doesn't look like anything mentioned in the reveal. Some sort of terrain maybe?

    Screen Shot 2018-03-22 at 16.11.47.png

    There's also the ship we've seen before.

    And the ruins elsewhere in the video are new too I believe.

  10. Well, there's this article, which talks about ad revenue for a website: https://www.rankxl.com/100-day-traffic/

    According to it, 150,000 people/month ~= $100/day. So 50,000 people/mo should be at least $25/day, or the site funded in 10 days each month.

    Also, if you choose the right ads (Thinking a number of the online retailers would probably be on board), they can probably pay you up front and you can avoid the wrong ad-sites. Like the one that has the slideshow stories that doesn't have the image I actually clicked on to see. You all know the one.

    So yea, ads seem like pretty much bank.

    More likes, better reputation system.  better titles/profile system.  Members only ‘off topic’ chat area. Groups and clubs system. Most of the things that regularly get requested.  

    I would want to see this first before signing up for it.

    I was hoping that we’d see a nurgle battletome and some new nurgle mortals this side of Christmas, but Im slowly losing all hope (how fitting). Seems to me, we may get a couple of new factions early next year, which annoys me somewhat cause I was hoping to treat myself for Christmas. But oh well, better late than never I guess. 

    Ps I have no evidence for this and damn I hope I’m wrong. 

    Like how most rumors start, there wasn't anything concrete. But there were a few things that pointed to the potential of a Nurgle Release:

    • Tzeentch got the Disciples Book
    • Khorne (which previously had a book in Bloodbound) got a book (Blades of Khorne)
    • Unlike Slaanesh, Nurgle is believed to have GW's silent blessing to exist
    • No Allegiance Rules in GHB2017 (Again, unlike Slaanesh)
    • 40K Death Guard release
    • Mention by GW that Poxwalkers would not be present in AoS, but AoS would be receiving something different

    At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if Blightwar is what they have for Nurgle. There is still November left to go though.

    Oh wow this diagram is perfect thank you muchly. 

    I would actually recommend listening to the podcast Garagehammer's reviews of the bottom half of the image (Quest for Ghal Maraz, Balance of Power, Godbeasts, and Sir not appearing in this image, All-Gates). I mean, you could buy them, but that actually costs money. David is pretty exuberant about the fluff and gives thorough coverage of it. Really hard not to recommend the podcast if you aren't looking for competitive AoS.

  13. Heraldry is important. For painters it may just be a Paint Scheme, but it was important in Bretonnia, and should be for hobbyists.

    Some colors have symbolism or meaning (Green in Bretonnia involved something spectral). There's the rule of tincture (no colors can be placed on one another, no metals on metals). Divisions (How Leoncoeur's red and blue are allowed to touch despite appearing to violate the Rule of Tincture), Charges, Arrangements, etc.

    Here is a relatively quick page on Blazonry.

  14. #1 (or #0) needs to be "What is Age of Sigmar?"

    I think many older people have no idea that the Warhammer Fantasy game they probably played (6th Ed, etc) is pretty much gone. Likewise new people to the hobby who have never heard of a wargame need to understand that getting into this game will be a massive sink for both time and money. If this is going to be a stickied Tips and Tricks, this needs to be Tip #1.

  15. Posted in the 1K thread, then noticed you updated your own post instead.

    I think the yellow is nailed down on both these, and the Mawcrusha (which I dig, since I bleed purple and gold as its my alma mater's colors). The Green in greenskin though, it seems kind of muted. I think you got it right on the Warchanter, but the rest of the army doesn't have the pop. I actually get more of a Imperial Fists feel than an Orcs feel (which is why I'm not really a fan of Ironjawz in the first place)

    As far as painting quality goes though, they're awesome!
