  1. Same. Also games aren‘t by default competetive. Games usually fulfill a central task: Leisure, teaching, fun and there are games you play to win. AoS encompasses leisure, creativity, fun, narrative even an element of teaching (maths, stochastic, understanding of color etc.) and you can play it to win. Yet treating the whole game as a „winning is all“ game is only one way of many to see it. Especially since GW‘s games are mostly do called „beer and Bretzel“ games which means: fun and narrative.
  2. Depends on the wording. If it says „if a command point is spent“ then you are right. If it says „if the wearer spends a command point“ then it‘s limited to the artefact bearer.
  3. You can make semi viable lists with IDK by going MSU with Namartii and Reavers while adding sharks and the likes =} So you might say that the whole army is somewhat playable
  4. You roll for each ability separately. edit: yes you can generate multiple CP, and yes you can spend them right after and try to generate another X CP from abilities.
  5. For dead scribe everything is always only competetive, so he would. Though I doubt that talking to him will necessarily give you any answer or relevant input. I don‘t say that to be rude towards DS, but he has a very strong opinion on this topic and I do not think that anything will make him think differently ^^ cheers jack
  6. This whole issue wouldn‘t be as bad as it is if GW would balance their games properly. By balance I mean: every choice should feel viable. That way even fluff lists can be played without being massacred each and every time. Also stupidly powerful combos should be restricted or avoided. As to a Rather successful approach: I tend to switch armies really often (which is easy since my collection is vast) and when I play a list I usually think about what units it‘d need to feel right, what units I want to play and what units I need to include to not automatically lose and to not build a tournament list. So my process of building the army usually looks like this: -Adding all the units the army should have (depending on theme I chose) - adding all the units I‘d love to field -adding all the units I need to not be slaughtered -then I try to get some synergies in - The final and hardest step is to remove units until one meets the point requirements This works okay-ish and also makes casual games interesting You even stand a decent chance against pure cheese lists. If both players build their army this way it makes for great games. Also: Random Army matches are a joy!
  7. It‘s Game Development (Informatics), Game Design, AR and VR Applications, Character Design and Modeling which has its basics in (character) design theory (silhouette, gaze guiding, visual cues, some have overlaps with AR and VR) and 3D Generalism. =} thx for the interest
  8. Why? In my case it is because I want to like the models so I write down what bothers me about them as well as some more objective feedback based on my field of study. I usually hope then that someone comes up with a good explanation or makes me rethink my opinion based on something I might have overlooked. Also It vents frustration rather efficiently. yet usually I receive either answers of people who didn‘t read what I wrote or took it out of context or of people who are angry or feel insulted that I don‘t like the models. Some might be in the same boat as me yet they dislike what I say since it is not riding along the hype train(?). Yet my goal is not to make others feel different about the release but for others to make me like the army, otherwise I would not bother writing into the faction thread. it‘s frustrating to write anything even remotely critical on these forums.
  9. More helmets like that and perhaps an alternative version of the Beefer of Secrets (waterfall shoulders and a Dragon head?) would actually make me buy into the faction big time.
  10. Well Idoneth have Kraken crests, now there‘s a Kraken Eater Giant. WHEN will Idoneth finally get a Kraken!? 😭
  11. Sadly actually. I would love to have an Akhelian Prince on Allopex/Eel tbh. Same goes for the Tide caster.
  12. 1: Implement runes she has to put into the right order (3tries) and place hints within the room (on dead dwarves or explorers and the likes). 2: If she likes math: A physical Formular she has to solve (maybe calculating how much weight has to be put on a trigger). That‘d be a clan skyre riddle 3: positioning riddle. There are some hints as to what you need to do: there‘re three spots and each spot needs to be occupied by something special: one needs electricity. One needs metal (she loses an item), one needs a feather. And she needs to figure it out within 4 turns of moving for example.
  13. judging by the markets one could think we‘ve only seen half of the helmet designs?
  14. That getting started with Lumineth box looks neat. All the models I like are in there (I am just wondering if I could proxx them for my CoS) 🤔 (I already have models for my Darkling Covens units)
  15. I bet Ya beardlings did not even have a proper breakfast today!? beer, beard wax and more ale! just joking I‘ve been playing me dwarves rather often recently (CoS) and those lads are fun. Yet for some reason I keep rolling bad if there‘s not at least one dark ale in the room...
  16. Short answer: Only one thing: The teleportation Spell of S2D. In pretty any other case you are better off playing S2D units in one of the mono god tomes. Slaanesh ist still strong and nothing that would affect Marauders was nerfed =} cheers
  17. Home Office grants me the opportunity to use work breaks for painting Images
  18. I painted in in my work breaks 🤔 40-60 minutes I guess (to be fair I tested some techniques so it took me about 40% longer than usual)
  19. It‘s oro Elfico of Scale75. I often call it „Gold of gods“ since it‘s the nicest, smoothest and brightest gold I’ve ever seen =} Edit: Washed the recesses with a heavily thinned down purple shade. the basing is done now as well
  20. I’d love that! Flesh Eaters are in dire need of MOAR units! I personally would also really really love more choice for my Idoneth.
  21. Alright all I need to do now is adding a shattered dominion base
  22. Those dwarves have strangely long legs 🤔🤣 looks rather good this way. Someone posted a version of the with the riders helmets which also looked great!
