Twisted Firaun

Thanks

Sorry to disturb but does anyone know when we’ll actually see today’s GAMA update? By my math it should ha e been posted an hour ago in Illinois.

I would be happy with both, the shipwrecks amazing and who doesn't love endless spells?(ignores all the dwarf fans). We all do friend.

I know we’re not supposed to mention this but spikeybitz has the rules for the new models released, obliterators are now available in units of 1

Do we have any more news on gutbusters? I’m sorry I just have about 30 of them and want to know when I should begin rebasing.

sweet mother of Grungi and Grimnir, it's HHHHUUUUUUGGGEEEE!!!!!

Is that the current rumour? I thought the thread was on flesheaters and shaven, ah well my vote then is for the coghauler variant, thought you might want to use a different model then the steam tank.

I feel like the arcane architect is to similar to the atormcast hero(his name escapes me). The coghauler makes sense in my opinion(it’s collegiate). If I had to suggest I would go with something like this: Dissposssed Runeseer lesser runepriests, these duardin dedicate their vast lore in devising strings of runes that force errant magic to bend the knee to the weld.

I vote clash of thunder

Nothing to mind, as I said it was a rough draft.

Lovely bit of lore. and now here's a rough draft for the introduction, I hope it fits the theme well enough. Not all of the forces of Order come are heralded with the flash of thunder or the smell of salt water. Throughout the realms the screech of steam and the smell of black powder herald the Iron Weld. Noble engineers stride on mechanical wonders alongside the laborers whose sacrifice makes their machines function. It is through the production of their mighty factories that the free cities defenses are produced, and it is through their architects that they rise. unlike the hosts of Sigmar or the children of Alarielle, the Ironweld are not gifted or powered by the divine, there is no rebirth or reincarnation waiting for them. Despite the fear of their souls falling into the clutches of daemons, or worse into the hands of the Undying King, the men and women of the weld fight on. though they may lose arms, legs, and even their bodies, and slowly become fuel for the next machine, they fight on. The average man of Weld knows that even if he were to die, the nobility will make certain his sacrifice is not in vain. For it is through their artifice that they become legend.

I can do the faction introduction, as well as the different cities and their take okn the realms. Is that cool?

thanks

so far this seems balanced from my cursory views, but where is everyone getting AOS 2.0 blank war scrolls? I'm just curious

As always sir I am impressed with your conversion skills, and more then a bit jealous of you living near warhammer world.

So we agree on using runes instead of magic? alright then, how do we update some of the current models available to the weld(the official ones) such as the glorious steam tank?

How about instead of focussing on the spells, we get a few more heroes? synergy is a big part of AOS, especially now of all times. we could have a robber baron/captain of industry type who boost's the hit rolls of war machines, at the cost of laborers lives for example.

I always love the subsections of each army, I find that they give some colorful narrative to otherwise bland armies. So here are some I've come up with: Order of the Storm Forged hailing from the realm of heavens, the Order of the Storm Forged are amongst some of the most prestigious(or arrogant depending on who you ask) of the gunnery schools. The Guild Patriarch often claims that his family studied under the famous Six Smiths, and that most of the blessed sigmarite items the Stormcast Eternals used can be traced back to any of the noble houses of the guild. In battle the nobility of the order can often be found marching alongside members of the Hammers of Sigmar, staying behind to fortify newly captured realmgates or laying siege to enemy fortifications. Drakes Foundry Based primarily in Aqshy, the guild Drakes Foundry was founded by a mixture of azyrite immigrants and reclaimed tribes. Instead of the common segregation and thinly veiled racism common amongst the reclaimed, the scholars of the Weld encouraged the intermingling and sharing of knowledge between the two cultures, which led to the discovery of the volcano ring known as Grimnir's Cannons. the magma from the Cannons is rich with various metals, which, once filtered and separated from the molten rock, are of an incredible quality. The rapid expansion and wealth of this relatively new guild exemplify this, and the quality of their weapons have only increased as the guild makes trade deals with multiple Fyreslayer lodges. Ur-Chemist's Hailing from Chamon, this guild is primarily made up of Dispossessed and "mad" human wizards and scholars. The Ur-Chemists seek to restore order to what they consider "Grugni's Workshop", as such they strive to find locations of potent chamonite upon which to build powerful navigation and chronological device, the better to catalogue the realm. The Ur-Chemists have raised certain beings to a state of sainthood, such as Lady Celemnis, who is called upon by the many artisans to bless their blades.

understood

thanks, so where do we put all this stuff down, here or the Ironweld topic page you started?

@Melcavuk, can I help as well?

how are you going to model the swords? and how many templars in a unit?

you're right in the Gloomspite discussion, they do look like pretty great stabbas.

sounds like a Steampunks Bretonnia..... What will you use for conversions/models in general?

Simply amazing as always(and a good choice if the rules I read off of the New Zealand page are to go by) do you have any other conversions planned besides the Skragrott one? perhaps a special shaman variant?
