Base sizes:

 

I've just measured all my 50 mm x 100 mm rectangular bases.
They're all illegal since in reality those measue 46.5 mm x 99mm each time XD

Let's just say that the base sizes are mostly irrelevant

That's why I didn't really like it that much from the start. The damage output is obviously insane, but for melee units you always need to have either a delivery mechanism for them (high mobility, deep strike, teleport) or be able to take a hit and counter-punch. Corsairs have neither, and as an extra mark against them, their damage output falls apart if they don't get their spell.

Correct!

imo 20 BG, 1 Sorceress and 20 Corsairs is a good investment and whichever unit survives (the BG ofc) gets the spell

i tried the corsairs with tenebrae and fleetmaster,but was useless also. they were deleted by the new ranged shooting of brod battalion and even when they get to melle they get roared and then their damage is cut down.

 

Indeed. The combo sounds good on paper but corsairs drop like flies, usually they’re killed before they get to strike.

Just because I have a hunch that tournament play will look pretty unrecognizable to casual players

I used to be quite active in the tournament scene back in 8ths. The rules lawyering and exploitation of loopholes ruined the game, that and factions that could spam cheap redirectors in contigents to control the game from the start.

I‘ve had my share and it was bad enough

The one on the left is my all time favorite dwarf sculpt GW ever produced. 

Same! I really need to scour ebay for that one at some point

Exactly. Why are they so scared of having the same faction in both settings?

 

Sales. Each studio tracks their own sales - TOW can‘t track if AoS Models are bought for their System and vise versa

[The Rumour Thread]

I‘d prefer nothing to get canned but for all TOW factions to be supported - srsly stop the infighting among studios. Just imagine getting new Dark Elf kits one could use for both systems.

Hey!

this is great @JackStreicher

There are some sizes missing though and they are unfortunately the ones I need

Single 60mm x 35mm oval to square 
Single 105mm x 70mm oval to square
Single 120mm x 92mm oval to square

These sizes are the ovals, not sure what the square size should be.

I have saved the link just incase it gets updated.

Thanks!

The squares are simply width * height

I‘ll add them later this week and update the thread!
 

for the 60x35 oval: just scale the 25mm adapter to be 60x35mm = the resulting oval shape works perfectly. This might work for the other two as well (haven’t tested it yet)

100%. The Cities of Sigmar are not constrained by weird Bretonnian hangups, they can get knights on foot anytime.

Yes please. Cities are more and more becoming the perfect army

forgive the blurry low res picture, snagged this from a corner of a page shown in the white dwarf preview.  I just wanted to say that I didn't realize until now how much I missed battle reports with pictures that looked like this - they're just so much more legible than top-down pictures of loose models or clusters of circles.

The old white dwarf batreps were ace.

The Carstein Model are super cool. I hope we will see new versions of them for AoS!

 

Spoiler

Completely random: That reminds me of a conversation we had in our club with an american mate recently:

If one wants to pronaunce Carstein so it sounds german: Pronounce the S like shh (hush)and  the ei like the ai of ain't

No Fusiliers (which I agree with after playing with them, they are a build around unit that is not splashable

As I've said: The unit is vastly overrated ^^

The List you posted is interesting, yet that's not what I'd call an army at all, it's a ragtag gang of heroes and some redshirts. Idk, it's not what the game is about for me.

Yet congratz to the winner!

 

Edit: Oops I did some Post-Necromancy right there XD

I'm in two minds as to how to run my witch elves. 

The rules suggest a big unit as they have the horde rule which means they need at least 20 (4 ranks of 5) to benefit from the +3 rank bonus but seeing as they have no armour, 30+ 7 wide would be better. 

However I think they would be better in smaller units say 12 - 14 strong 6 or 7 wide in 2 ranks. Set them up in the front of the army and slam into the enemy knowing they will all die but doing as much damage as possible. 

Thoughts? 

Plausible. Would make for more threats the enemy has to deal with.

A big block works good against shooty enemies (because some will get on target xD)

Witches are great against heavy hitters: rend -2? Who cares? I don’t have armour

I think you need at least 5 wide to get the combat resolution bonus at least for elven spearmen (Regular infantry)

this. Heavy Infantry only needs 4 models per rank iirc

3+ units 7 models wide takes up a lot of space on the board and could be very cumbersome.

Exactly. I struggled with maneuvering and I had:
2x 5 wide
1x 8 wide (+ chariot)
2x 8 wide (croissbows) 
1x 6 wide
1x chariot (Hydra)

Hello!

 

I don't really know where to put this so I put it here (Mods please move this thread if neccessary!)

Clicking this link you will find all Conversion-Tray-Files: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1pfNDvxIiwgzT4TvI9zuvQrFe6hGMm11D
including, but not limited to:
- Several Round to Square adapters.
- Lots of Round to Square Trays
- 20mm square to 25mm square Adapters

 

Please share the link with your friends, family and your club so people don't have to pay money for 5 minutes of work.

Also please test the link and tell me if there's a tray/adapter missing that you'd need.

 

It goes without saying that you are not permitted to sell any of this (neither the files, derivates of it or prints and derivates of it) - Monetizing the work of others is a prerogative of companies. 😛

What are people thinking regarding formations?

I like the look and compact size of 5x4 for infantry. But I’ve read some comments about people going 6 wide, and 3-5 deep.

I’m gonna start by using my old dark elves collection. And right now looking at Spearmen 6x5, xbows 6x2, blackguards 5x4, corsairs 5x3.

We figured this out after our last game. The best size for a unit is ~7 wide (between 6-8)

8 is too unwieldy, 6 not different enough from 5

5 lacks output, yet is very maneuverable

Thx for the nice batrep @Neil Arthur Hotep

I‘ve got one question concerning the Terrain: What’s the name of the floating island waterfall? (So I can scour ebay for it) 😃

[Warhammer - The Old World]

Bretonnia rules Question:

It appears that it’s allowed now to join a Grail Vow Hero to a Questing Vow and or a Knight’s Vow unit - A Questing Vow hero to a Knight‘s Vow unit as well

in short: Higher Vows can join lower Vow units. This is very cool! (iirc this didn’t work back in the old Bretonnia Army Book)
