The Red King

Honestly most of my games feel that way. I've had a few games were the enemy just ends up running away after they break on my bubble but they've already massacred me on VP. I think this is due to the fact a lot of our bonuses are tied to standing still (which is very counterintuitive I might add) so we have to decide if we want to kill the enemy and lose the game or try to play objectives while our army gets torn to shreds by the enemy we didnt diminish. Also it's past my bedtime but I can officially start on my waywatcher.

Normally I would wait to post the painted model but I got so excited about this conversion I just had to share. I wanted a waywatcher that would stand out in my 3 way watchers battalion list as the general (SotW battleline) so I converted up the mistweaver with some kurnoth hunter bits and skulls. This is Badb Catha, the crow, and hopefully I'll have a painted update for yall, but i'm gonna force myself to finish my unit of wild riders on the table first.

Can we get any more info on what the eventual starter set is going to be like? Or maybe what I mean is the wait between core book and starter set. I would love to buy a preorder bundle that includes both because I intend to get EVERYTHING for this game but I'll need a good starter set to get my group of pure D&D players into it.

Yeah im in a slow grow too. And having run that same list at 500 allow me to suggest you drop 10 sisters for a nomad prince and 10 eternal guard. You really need some kind of speed bump to keep the ladies shooting and the rerolls from the prince are priceless. As far as tactical advice I'd reccomend deploying as far back as possible. Forget thematics just cheese the range because plenty of armies will turn 1 charge you and then the double turn will kill your entire army. Sad but true.

So not to double post but I had my first real game of AoS and wanderers today. The mission was total conquest and the points were 750. My list was Nomad Prince w/ghyrstrike Waywatcher general w/master hunter Spellweaver + soulsnare shackles 10 eternal guard 10 sisters ×2 His list was Knight of shrouds 5 hexwraiths ×2 Black coach I totally misplayed my deployment going for what looked thematic instead of what was tactical. End result all 10 of my eternal guard and the spellweaver died on his first turn. On my first turn I fired everything into his knight of shrouds and killed it (despite getting 1 wound from 9 hits on my waywatcher). His turn 2 (we forgot to roll off to see if I could've gotten the double turn) the coach plus 5 wraiths charges one unit of sisters plus my HQ's and wiped out all but 3 of the sisters (we forgot to battle shock them) and leaving the hqs wounded. My turn 2 the small group of sisters shot up some of his wraiths as well as the hqs. Leaving one wounded sgt after combat. The large group of sisters stood and fired into his coach leaving it with ONE freaking wound. My nomad prince who had fallen back to give his buff to them actually then took the last wound with his hawk. His turn 3 (we rolled from now on but nobody got a double) he ran the wounded guy away and brought in the other 5 to charge my sisters. In the end all my sisters died to battle shock and he ended up with a 1 wound sgt left. At this point he knew he'd won on objectives but was just trying to not get tabled. Long story short the ghost horses couldnt outrun my arrows. So I wiped him out and then lost on VP. All in all... moral victory. I tabled a night haunt list with wanderers and killed a black coach with a hawk. I couldnt really play to the objectives because without standing still I couldnt kill him and without killing him I'd get tabled. So I did what I could.

Some work in progress shots of my Eternal guard with Dryad masks. Converted spellsinger. And a glowing way stone marker that turns on and off.

Just the beast skulls from the citadel skull box. Im loving that box.

I mean... seems worth it to me. 10 inches is pretty decent and they suffer from fragility more than mobility. Im at work though, so is that all that changed for us?

Painted my allied unit of hunters.

Yeah even magnetizing I had to give up. Maybe if you just magnetize at the hands and resign yourself to some wonky pose?

I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but does anyone here have the sisters of twilight (just the sisters and not the dragon) that they would be interested in selling or trading? I really want them to serve as the figureheads of my army because I want to base my dark forest elves around the "old tales" of them.

I'm really excited to check this out but TGA wont let me open it?? It says it's been removed or you didnt have permission to share it? Any ideas?

Okay this time a completed and based version.

Don't know how to add this to my above post but GW called out Prince Maesa as getting another short story in the advent calendar. HYPE!

He's actually a Hordes figure "The lord of the feast. Except I carved the face and moved the deer skull down, as well as swapping his sword with a bow and quiver from the melusai kit. Wanted to make sure he stands out from my other two wayeatchers as he will be the general most likely. Also thank you. I can't wait to get the rest of my characters painted up at least.

Not sure where to post this but I've finished my first "dark forest" waywatcher as a test model and though I'll probably end up doing a more vibrant brown I'm overall happy with how he turned out.

Woah woah woah. Is that Vince "the reason im sitting 5 feet from an airbrush" Venturella? I love your YouTube videos man. I was at work 6 videos in thinking, should I get an airbrush and then boom. Video 6 "just buy an airbrush" ordered it before I left work lol. Also thanks to everyone over the last 16 pages I've learned a lot.
