I didn't get the GHB this year either. I just didn't see a point to it.

Interested to hear any thoughts on a list like this: Allegiance: Ironjawz - Warclan: Ironsunz Leaders Megaboss on Maw-Krusha (460) - General - Boss Gore-hacka and Choppa - Command Trait: Right Fist of Dakkbad - Artefact: Sunzblessed Armour - Mount Trait: Mean 'Un Orruk Megaboss (140) - Artefact: The Golden Toof Orruk Megaboss (140) Orruk Warchanter (110) - Warbeat: Fixin' Beat Orruk Warchanter (110) - Warbeat: Get 'Em Beat Battleline 10 x Orruk Brutes (260) - Jagged Gore-hackas - 2x Gore Choppas 10 x Orruk Brutes (260) - Jagged Gore-hackas - 2x Gore Choppas 10 x Orruk Brutes (260) - Jagged Gore-hackas - 2x Gore Choppas Battalions Da Boss Fist (220) Total: 1960 / 2000 Extra Command Points: 0 Allies: 0 / 400 Wounds: 131

The Cities are the first strike points that Sigmar sent his Stormcast Eternals. They took the first ground and cleared them of chaos and are invaluable to transporation across the realms. It's like an interrealm high-way, but Chaos still holds the 8 points. Without the Cities and the gates they protect the realms would be isolated from each other making the forces against Chaos, and amongst themselves, much harder to collaborate logistically.

I'm from Tennessee, and honestly this sounds like a ton of fun! In fact we had a Path to Glory campaign started in early February...but unfortunately Covid hit and it died. We even got bonus points from writing Narratives of the battles and such. Short stories for our armies and having a backstory.

If I could find people who weren't die hard competitive to try out open and narrative play I would but alas I'm in perma-tournament prep mode Although I have fun with that too. I'm more like I'll just play anything. I'm even open to other full-scale fantasy wargames. I only know of 2 though. Kings of War and 9th Age lol.

Megaboss on Maw-Krusha.

Aside from battletomes...has any warscroll ever been updated or reworked outside of FAQ clearing up a sentence? I've never seen anything get a brand new warscroll unless it was with a brand new battletome.

Funnily enough I've seen quite a few battle reports saying "Oh I guess we freaked out over nothing" regarding Lumineth Realm Lords and they actually aren't that good. However only half their range is out so you're only playing with half an army ATM.

Did you look at Thunderquake/Thunder Lizard lists? Engine of the Gods, Slann, Kroak, Stegadon Chieftan, Bastiladon, Stegadons, Kroxigors. The list I'm tweaking and perfecting has like 40 models in it. 30 of them are skinks.

So in other words the +1 save is coming from the Prayer (probably from a Slaughterpriest, but possibly from the Warshrine) called Bronzed Flesh which gives +1 to save rolls.

If I ever get another army after Seraphon it would be trolls. All trolls. Although really I'm sitting on my hands hoping for vampires and hoping they're ALL vampires and elite small model count. Cuz they're the best of the best of the undead. but...idk dare to dream. If they ever come out odds are they'll be some horde army or something with like thralls for battleline

Well, I don't really have a dog in this fight, but any playtester are welcome at Nashcon and they can bring any book they like. Now whether or not you want to travel to Nashville, Tennessee for Nashcon and whether or not it's an event large enough to be on anyone's radar aside from those of us who live in the Southeast USA is another question. Still welcoming you to Nashcon.

I always thought metagaming was when you as a human real life person player know something that your in game character does not know, but you act as the human person with that knowledge in the game when it is something your character cannot know. Like "I choose to attack the Orcs around that corner" because you can see the miniatures on the map, but your character can't see around corners in the game. Then people get mad at you.

If I understand the terminology it means Meta-Game, or "The Game within the Game" which typically seems to be "The best possible and most optimum" way to play the game. Why is there no game within the game?

Yeah I was gonna be like League of Legends honestly. How the heroes and mechanics have evolved and changed, how they went back and redid all the Season like 1-3 heroes released to revise their kits to keep up with the newest and latest heroes. How they've changed the games to mostly skill shots from point and clickers, etc. They keep revising the jungle. It just keeps moving forward and the meta shifts. I guess I should have just started with that. Then there's you know, like Tribe 2. And if you're like "what?" well...that's exactly my point.

Well yes, I understand that, I was just using an example of a game that's changed over time due to constant development. Unlike a game which nobody touches and it dies. I could use video games instead.. ?

Yeah or maybe they just aren't degenerate heretics and stay loyal to the God-King Sigmar!

You know, I think that this is really a positive thing. The designers are pushing the boundaries, they're experimenting with the rules and they're trying new things out. I think that shows the game is progressing and growing. It's moving forward and they're thinking about it. Dungeons and Dragons 3.0 was a totally different game by the time Dungeons and Dragons 4th Edition came out. Even Pathfinder was a different game by the time Pathfinder 2E came out. Yes, there was power creep, but the game was being supported, and it was growing and it made for new, awesome characters. Because the thing is what's broken now may become the new norm, and when it comes round to circling back to YOUR battletome, they may push the boundaries even further, or give you what's now the new norm. It will cycle like this, forever, but I think that's honestly okay. I've only heard legends of the World That Was, but allegedly some armies would languish for years with nothing. Not 1 model, not one rule...they'd just have a book for like 3 Editions with 0 changes. And that's why fantasy died. Nobody cared and it stagnated.

Oof. I guess my post wasn't funny enough to pass on the joke.

Bro....I hate to tell you.... the reason people didn't jump on the Bandwagon is cuz them some REAL ugly models 😢

I'm playing Big Waaagh! Just with basically all Ironjawz models because I don't like Bonesplittas.

Yeah GSC was released in 8th edition, but GeneStealers have been in the books and stuff for...forever. Hell I read a charcaradons story about a genestealer uprising they had to get through on a planet they'd visited for the red tithe to supplement their chapter.

The fact he bans more than 1 Warchanter from Orruk Warclans.... bruh. What even is this. I'd never play in his club. I take 2 and just about need them both just to survive in my club.

I can identity the very very light blue nearly white as ice blue. I’m going to guess the darkest parts are something like Cerulean Blue in the Citadel Colour App. However it’s the main skin tone I literally can’t figure out. And I’m not entirely sure what the mid-tone between the skin and the forearms and legs is... The mid tone almost seems to be “just blue”?

I somehow found myself with even more openlock terrain, haha. Unfortunately I don't have an FDM printer for the larger pieces though 😢
