  1. Someone said there was a new IDK Model in that Trailer. I couldn‘t find it. Does anyone have a screenshot?
  2. awesome models, if I can find a way to integrate them into my CoS I might, once again, walk the way of the knight. however, have they said that the foot knights are plastic? Some features make me nervous, like the very thick shields which scream resin.
  3. As do the mounted knights and honestly anything that didn’t get a revamp.
  4. „Closest kin“ was stated once, if ever in a side mention. What exactly are the criteria of anyone belonging to a faction? Looks? Believes? Maybe an active decision? So anyone belongs to the faction he has nothing, actively to do with now? Oh iirc Grimnir was part of Sigmar’s Hero-Force, Gotrek is his Avatar and he looks for a meaningful life… NOW I GET IT, PUT HIM IN STORMCAST, what greater purpose THAN TO PURGE CHAOS! Gotrek is either factionless or founds a united dwarven force. He has never committed to any faction so far, yet you want to cramp this rogue avatar into Fyreslayer although his journey clearly outlines he does not belong to a faction since he himself has a greater purpose than playing the lapdog of a god. But whatever, think what you want. Idc wishes are granted sometimes
  5. There you have it, you‘ve said yourself that he does not belong into the Fyreslayer Faction Fyreslayers are followers of Grimnir, he is definitely is not, although he is his Avatar and always has been. Wanting him as part of Fyreslayer feels like forcing a Hexagon into a triangle slot, no matter how much you‘d like it. (Grimnir himself was never part of the Fyreslayers since they formed after his demise) He has history with Grimnir, but as he has stated over and over: He is no Fyreslayer. He might fight alongside them here and there but he basically fights alongside everyone. As to his ability to inspire people: Also counts for everyone, not only Fyreslayers. If anything he is a dispossessed or a potential inspiration for a united dwarven force.
  6. You didn’t start the latest audio book, did you? You should. Despite that this means he is also a Kharadron because he was fond of them for quite a while too. Gotrek usually befriends old dwarves because that’s what he is. He is like a missing link of the dwarven race representing all of them. He is no Fyreslayer and never will be. He is Gotrek.
  7. He‘s not. Just an old dwarf with a rune. He‘s against all gods and he’s not of their culture. so adding him to their roster makes no sense. It‘s like claiming an aelf should be part of the Darklings because he wears an Darkling Spear and bears and darkling tattoo against his will.
  8. I own a wight king with Drakenhof Banner from Forgeworld. That freaking hand never sticks to the wrist, the flag pole is bend and regains the bend within a few weeks after fixing. It’s utter pain! So I am more than hesitant to ever buy GW Resin, ever, again. ^^ Edit: Unless it’s dirt cheap, which as we all know it won’t be.
  9. I‘d like a new center piece since I dislike Archaon (haven’t bought one and never will) and I don’t want to buy Be‘lakor
  10. Awesome model. Sadly resin: that banner will never really glue to the model, it‘ll be warped, bend and break all the time ;( (+imbalance on base)
  11. It’s the most cheese one can squeeze into a list. Must make for a fun game, not
  12. Rebased to 28,5mm bases. Added my Pavese stl and this is how they‘ve turned out edit: The Fusils are about 10-20% too small sadly.
  13. I am surprised to see that many orange paint schemes (here and over on reddit)
  14. Oh no, humans have anatomy! Children will be traumatized (not). XD srsly though: Not even nipples so technically not nude. I like the new ghouls (loincloths, yeah!)
  15. The Battle: Lists Turn 1: She takes the turn and runs most of her army up towards the objectives. She puts the 6+ ward onto the Chaos Warriors and the Chaos Knights. Chaos warriors receive mystic shield. She scores 3 Points. I sacrifice one Dreadspear and cast Tenebrael Blades with a 14 targeting the Black Guard. The Warforger fails blazing weapons. Most of my units eveive the advance order, My Elfs almost surround her chaos Warriors, she rolls a solid 1 for redeploy. I fire into the Chaos Knights, she all out defends, dealing 4 damage total. All my elfs charge into the warriors. I complete one elf battletactics for charging with 3 elfs (I also charge in my sorceress to keep the black guard within 3" of her, which turns out to be a grave mistake). Order of execution weirdness: Tenebrael Blades negates the armour, Mystic shield puts it back up to a 6+. Of the 15 Damage the Guards deal she saves 10! (6+, 6++) killing only 2.5 Chaos warriors. She hits my Sorceress with 3 Warriors dealing 3 wounds. The rest of the elfs deals another 5 damage to the warriors. I score 5 points (Battle Tactics + holding more objecitves). Turn 2: I get the double turn. Magic: Blazing Weapons succeeds, as does tenebrael blades. I can't chose a battle tactic that's achievable. My army slowly walks forward, contesting objectives, preparing counter charges. The Fusliers get the supressing fire order and open up into the chaos warriors killing 4. The Warriors are suppressed. The Steelhelms eradicate the marauder Screeen. The elfs kill all but 4 Chaos warriors. The warriors in turn kill the sorceress (she was stuck in the brawl, I couldn't retreat her and rolling 4+ isn't mystrong suit XD - I ecpected to kill way more warriors in turn one than I actually did) I score 3 points. Deamonic might on the Chaos Warriors. 6+ Ward onto the Chosen. Spite Tonguie Curse hits the Steelhelms for 3 Mortal wounds. The rest I managed to unbind. Battle tactgics: Hold one objective without enemies being within 12" Her turn two: Varanguard fight twice, killing off the 20 Steelhelms. Her Knights and chosen charge the 10 Steelhelms to the left flank. I counter charge with my Knights (of the blazing sun). The chosen chose to fight twice. The Steelhelms die. The Knights swing back killing off 2 more Knights and causing 14 Wounds to the chosen. By some miracle she manages to save and ward 8 wounds.... she fights a second time killing off the Knights. My still Tenebraeled Black Guard finally overkill the Chaos Warriors by a lot. Her Furies, who had charged the Chariot retreat onto my home objective. She scores 5 points, which puts us both at 8. Turn three. Since we're 2+ hours into the game and it's getting late we decice to draw sudden death cards, but instead of instantly winning when the condition is met we agree upoin the game ending there and then, the player witrh the most victory points winning. We drew: Killing off 50% of the enemy's army's models causes the game to end. This means she'd have to kill another ~10 Models of my army or I have to kill another 6 Models of her army I get turn 3 In the shooting phase I manage to kill one Varanguard. Chose the order "engange the foe" and charge into the chosen with my Cavalier Marshal and the last 5 Knights. Putting pressure on the Chosen killing off 5 of them, ending the game. Final Scores: 8 to 8 (or minor Victory for both in PtG terms) More images
  16. Had another game today. 2K PtG:It was a draw. I might right a shirt report later. Long story short: Fusiliers + Warforger didn’t do much except support Images:
  17. On that note: The Black Talons could be interesting in the future
  18. That‘d be a mockup. Usually concept art is not at the level of detail of that rendering. The whole reason concepts are made is to avoid wasting resources (like modeling a high fidelity interior with bolts, screws etc.) by setting the design beforehand. 🙂 That‘s at least the way we used it for Animations (and it’s the textbook example of how it’s used) cheers
  19. Just wanted to point out a slight bs from GW. This is not concept Art, it’s the scene rendered with an outline (one can see the polygons of the (Steering-Handle) anyways. The show‘s been very enjoyable so far!
