What's the community opinion of ratling guns?
-
A few of the Old World models are being remade for a short time, including Kurt Helborg and Ludwig Schwartzhelm!

Do the beastmen have any Plastic hero other then the shaman? because if they don't that hampers their chances of getting a start collecting box just like why Bonesplitterz never got one. the Shaman could have work but he has his leg pined into a square base like the Savage Big boss so I don't think they would use him for a SC box either.
I don't know, the Wight King has a foot connected to a square base too and he's in the Deathrattle Barrow Lords box.

Do you guys think Beasts will get a special character in the new book? Malagor's model still exists, and of all the beastman special characters he (and Morghur) are - in my opinion at least - the most likely candidates to return to the Mortal Realms. Not saying I wouldn't prefer some of the others but I would rather have something than nothing.
I'm so divided on whether I want to pick up Beasts again. I had a... substantial collection, and that's even BEFORE I bought the huge set that was released during the End Times.

Would you all say the Skryre battalion is near-mandatory? If so, what enginecovens are good for what? After looking at Gautfyre I feel like I hate it considerably, but nobe of the others seem at all interesting.

Easiest bits to get hold of will probably be the Stormfiends, Warplightning Cannon and Doomwheel, as they all have very nice plastic kits and are generally available. Some of the rest, like the old metal Arch-Warlock, can be found on GW's website, but the really nice plastic Warlock, poison wind mortar and warpfire thrower can only be found on the second-hand market these days. For Skryre Acolytes, you'll have to cough up for ancient metal models or, as many people do, convert your own (mine are mostly kitbashes of Stormvermin and gasmasked heads from other Skaven kits).
Skryre allegiance abilities can be found in the General's Handbook 2018, for what they're worth (not a great deal), and the rules for the Skryre battalion and Enginecovens are in the Grand Alliance: Chaos book.
Hope that helps, now go forth and delete your opponents with mortal wounds!
Thanks so much!

I've been very interested in starting up Clan Skryre, so any advice I can get would be great! May I ask what I should start with for my collection? And where can I find the rules for the Enginecovens?

That's Tretch Craventail. A very high-ranking warlord of clan Rictus in the old world
Also featured in the new Total War: Warhammer 2 game if you want to see him in action.
He is a warlord, but I'm sure you could easily run him as an assassin as well. I'll leave that to your personal preference
Tangentially related, but I think I was one of the few people who was actually thrilled to get him as a Legendary Lord. I get why others weren't, but I have always liked his character.

Quick question - has anyone here used the Manann's Blades models for their Freeguild Guard?
-
What does everyone think of the different Wargroves in this edition? Which ones are the winners and which the losers? I'm seeing a lot of Gnarlroot, I've noticed.
-
Awesome!

Are Nighthaunt really so bad for Sylvaneth? I know Sylvaneth don't really have much save-after-the-save mechanics but they don't do THAT many Mortal Wounds, do they?

I have both, and the gryph chargers are bigger, say 30% more because of stylized stances. The riders are also bigger. As long as you find lances, halberds, and shields for them, they should work.
I converted mine to have outrider heads, and they look quite good. Scale fits and everything.
I don't suppose you have pictures?

Different purposes. Crossbows no longer get the extra shot until there’s 20 of them, archers are great screens and board denial chaff, handgunners get the long rifle and rend, so damage wise probably the gunners
Ah, I was thinking crossbowmen got the extra shot for not moving - it's hanginners with the +1 to hit. Thanks!
The free move archers get might be handy in the beginning but I agree, handgunners might be a better choice in the long run.
-
Quick question - if fielded in units of 10 which is best: Archers, Crossbowmen, or Handgunners? Without the unit size bonus I think maybe it'd be crossbowmen.

Hello everyone, I'm hoping to get some advice for an upcoming Path to Glory game. My opponent is going to be fielding Nighthaunt and I, Stormcast (specifically Sancrosact Stormcast). We're picking units to begin with and rolling for reinforcements.
I've been kicking around the following list:
Lord-Ordinator
Celestar Ballista
3 Sequitors
And either 3 Sequitors or 3 Castigators
I expect to get rolled over by Chainrasps with so few models. The Celestar and Castigators are there to try and thin the herd a little.
Alternatively I've been considering:
Lord-Exorcist
3 Evocators
2 units of 3 Sequitors.
What do you all think? I like the Lord-Exorcist quite a bit but the LOrdinator will be able to give me quite a boost if I can recruit some other Order warmachines. -
Hi everyone, I have a quick request for anyone who has the book: can you tell me who the Sancrosact hero options are for Path to Glory?
Edit: Never mind, picked up my copy!

Speaking of painting, I really like the greenish skin of the GW Wild Riders. Does anyone know how they got that look, or a similar one? I checked the WarhammerTV channel but while there's a tutorial on painting the stags there's not one for the riders.
I just tried Ionrach/Biel-tan (watered)/Deepkin/Pallid Wych but it may be a little too yellow for me. Maybe a Waywatcher glaze will fix it? I think next I'll try Rakarth/Biel-tan/Pallid Wych next.

The problem I have with Allariele is that, as the Everqueen, she merged with Isha, Aelven Goddess of Nature, during the End Times which ensured she would survive as the Incarnate of Life in the new reality. But she rejected her Aelven heritage and her people without explanation. The old Wood Elves worshipped Isha in the Old World and she cared for them, but in her new form she has abandoned the descendants of her followers.
I'll be honest, that kinda bugs me too. I get that Isha is a life goddess but a great deal of her portfolio (and Alarielle's previous life) revolved around her love for and protection of the elvish people. Hell, I could even see Ariel becoming this person more easily.
On the other hand she has had aeons beyond measuring to change into this new person. And we don't even know what her earlier seasonal incarnations were like, or their opinions regarding the aelven race. Could the Wanderer/Sylvaneth split have been worse for her than we know?

Ah, the infamous Stormcast hate. It’s a wonder those folks haven’t got it out of their system by now after having two solid years of crying into their 4th Edition WFB duvet covers.
?
Those covers were limited edition, sir. Show some respect.

Does anybody have any idea what the Path to Glory tables look like? Thinking about starting one up with Sancrosact models!

Oh wow, I REALLY need to get this book!

I get you. I'm just trying to figure out what I want to convert my Island of Blood warpfire throwers to!
