Hobby as stress relief. Once you start putting pressure on yourself to get better you insert stress again

Yeah, that was debunked about 1-2 years ago

I used to be on the side of "nah double turns are fine!" However since AoS 3 I am pretty sick of them. They've destroyed so many games that would have been fun using the normal turn-order. DTs usually act as a situation-multiplier: It's not going well for you? How about your opponent going twice in a row? Oh you are utterly destroying your opponent? How about you get to go again? I've played ~20-23 games so far and the double turn ruined 15 of them. It saved 4 of them and the rest went in normal turn order.

Unpopular opinion: Slaves to Darkness should have access to ALL mortal chaos followers and maybe one greater Demon as coalition ally or simply 1 in 4 daemons (general‘s keyword).

Only one of the mentioned armies is an issue :D. I also did not say that you should refuse to play against an army but a list. I don’t see an issue If you want to help her prep for a Tournament. You could get rid of the Prophets in several ways (ofc dependent on deployment and all that): 1. Vyrkos -Use Magic: Soulwind, Arcane bolt, Vile Transference etc. 2. Use Nagash, he will one-shot them with the spellportal 3. A combination of Dire Wolves (2 units) and the Terrorgheist scream and Soulwind 5. Put pressure on his units surrounding the Prophet to bait her into spellcasting instead. 6. Zombie Dragon with the amulet of Destiny to tank the damage 7. Block Line of Sight with Ghost Mist (the spell everyone can choose)

@Gery81 don’t Play with her. The Prophet is such a bad game design (for some reason GW loves to give such unfun nonsense to Orks) and she‘s abusing it by fielding 2. Simply tell her that the Prophet is unfun to such a degree that you won’t play against a list with 2. Orks Are Good enough without The nuclear prophet. (The designer of This Warscroll should be punished by 105 hits with a pool noodle - this model would be fine if it had no ward save) This game is supposed to be fun to both of you. Don’t let the abuse of abviously botched rules ruin it. You could also just play Nagash, ally in a Mortek Crawler and nuke her Prophets - such fun! 🙄

Same! Another one from me: Creating one-use artefacts that can fail on a 1 should be punishable with 30 hits from a pool-noodle. And Another: Battletomes are becoming more and more bland with less fun abilities that make the faction's playstyle sterile and unthematic (Soulblight, Stormcast) And Another: Creating a Rule that needs no roll to add +1 to damage should be punishable by 36 hits with a pool noodle.

Unpopular opinion: Lumineth Realmlords are an overtooled abomination; consisting of 50% great and 50% terrible models. *throws wood into the fire* and the game would be better off without another constellation of 50% of their army. Another unpopular opinion: Malerion is the rightful ruler and god of all aelf-kind change my mind!

I smell Pirrrates, YIAAARRH!

Is he really called Uther? Because hectares looks like Uther of Warcraft

Vampire Knight heads or (if those fit) Stormcast heads/ Warriors of chaos heads

I really love the new Vampire Lord. We rarely see fit / sporty women in games and I really like her slender, noble shape with the overdone, eccentric armour. The head is something one has to get used to (easily switched), yet the overall composition and paintjob is great. (The conor looks Sandy around the stomach?) I wished we had Vampire infantry 🩸🥲 some more images:

I am guessing she won’t have a unhelmeted version? XD

A Khorne Ravager Karkadrak with Eternal Vendetta and the amulet of destiny slaughtered 1k points of Stormcast the other day

I really like the Art that's been shown for the Blacktalon series. I might even sub once when it all is released to binch it (a two hour binch, wow XD) More AoS please!

Sums up most (except dragons) of the book imo ^^

Good idea, I was toying around tryin to figure out how to effctively use a wight king (tbh, they're so bad. They simply don't do anything, imo 60 points is what they should cost.). The biggest issue being that he does not benefit of off any Subfaction trait (which is overall a huge oversight concerning or BT, too many traits are locked behind Keywords for no reason). Your suggestion might actually work

Simple answer to the Thread's header: A metric ton of introduction games ;D I pretty much build my former community single-handedly. One of the issues evoloves over time however: I don't want to have introduction games anymore x_X

I played 1250 pts of Stormcast vs Slaves to Darkness. The Khorne Xhaos Lord on Karkadrak with eternal vendetta and the Amulet of Destiny killed my entire army (including my general, priest and Knight Judicator) 🥲 I was tabled by a single model (and the fact that rolling 1s and 2s for Armour isn’t any good) mit was still a good game since the last dice roll decided who would win.

The biggest issue of the book is the high point costs imo. We have really few models on the table, although most of them hit decently they evaporate to MWs which makes the objective game incredibly hard in later turns. Dragons counteract this a little due to their damage capabilities, their resilience and speed. However I‘m expecting the latter to be merged before the models can be bought

That‘s what I fear as well. Normal Paladins would be hardly playable

So, since SCE are super vulnerable to MWs especially since we’re putting an only an average of 26 models on the table, I‘d like to know if anyone found a way to make our units more resilient? Every MW hurts my soul when playing SCE 🥲

It also opens up the possiblity to mere faction and develop them into their own identity etc.

Also Celestial Vindicators? I love their color scheme

@Whitefang ?
