    Given they've got predatory spell rules, the choice to make it move over board segements is a little weird but overall the rules aren't any stranger than the Idoneth Deepkin ones. Random mortal wounds to enemy characters only helps the game. Hurting those "buff my units to be unbeatable" helps

    Saw these over at the Warhammer FB, definitely interested in watching them progress and stealing some ideas for my own Gloomspite Gitz band, a tribe from the Realm of Fire who harvest volcanic fungi

    They're week 2, so the soonest we'll see those are around Tuesday to Wednesday next week

    Maths on the base says 30mm radius vs 17.5 mm width from centre, leaving 12.5mm difference 2 x 12.5mm = 25mm, which is 1" basically, so when the 60mm is touching, they're 1" apart in reality, so all good right?

    It's 2am, my tone sucks when my brain no worky gud, sorry!

    Wrong! Re-read the Designers Commentary again, specifically the lines about "suggested" base sizes, and what to do if it's on a different size. So, you can mount your spiders on say, a 60mm round base for aesthetics, but make sure there's a 60 x 35mm marking on the base to help measure from

    Use a bigger base, it really doesn't matter

    So new WD has landed. Nothing extra to report but it did give me an army theme idea. Aqushy Goblins - A tribe that lives in the Realm of Fire to collect rare fungi and lichen that grow in the fire scorched realm. Better equiped and smaller in numbers due to the dangerous conditions and rich rewards on offer, they tend to wear red / orange robes, often badly skorched and their skin is naturally darker to better stand the heat (thinking Dark Angels green) Squigs will tend to be brighter yellows, or maybe some striking purples to better contrast with the red robed riders What do people think? Nifty concept??

    Spare space on the sprue means they get to have a bit of fun

    Der Knights dat go BOOIIIINNNNGGGG!

    Grot Scutlings are a strong possibility to be released as their own kit. Silver Tower is OOP, and aesthetic wise, they bridge the gap nicely between Spiderfang and Moonclan forces

    Got the same model for my Rogue Idol, it's a bit short and definitely won't get accepted at Warhammer World as it's from another company, no matter how many bits you stick on it

    Chariot's gone, so I suspect that everything will go once it's sold out of the current stock
  14. Lucio
    Previews are all looking good, and it's good that they've combined the various Grot and Troggoth factions together, even if it does mean saying bye to the Doomdiver and Wolf chariots. The overal army vibe is very strong, a bunch of lunatics who are in it for the hell of it. Definitely gotta buy a Skarsnik model now, and look to kitbash it with the newer models for a unique vibe

    Currently I think 2019 is a predominately 40k year, with Vigilus shaping up, plus Blackstone Fortress proving popular, AoS will get 3 to 4 armies. Popular choices include Grots, Slaanesh, some new aelf choice (my money's on flying aelves or shadow based teleporting aelves), Ogors are possible, but they'll need to have a seriously good theme in mind, Ricky's Suneaters might give them some ideas for fire-based Ogor tribes as a counter-point to the BeastClaw Riders. Outside army concepts are Freepeople (they have some ideas there thanks to Nick Horth's work via Callis and Toll series), Dispossesed etc. Skaven are likely heading to a Beasts of Chaos style release with few new miniatures and a way to link together the clans.

    Right, found the quoted FAQ in the Designer's Commentary. It's specifically saying that Allies don't count as Allies if the Batallion is the same allegiance However, here's the thing, as the models in the Batallion have the correct keyword, they're not allies, so that FAQ part doesn't apply At best, rules as written, you can argue that the Batallion cost comes from your allies allowance, but the units in it? Well they've got the correct Keyword. There may be a tiny grey area over the Allies matrix being out of date, but frankly, arguing that Brayherd != Beasts of Chaos because the faction got a rename is douchebaggery of the highest order.
  17. Lucio
    See, I've seen the arguement, that they have the alleigance of the batallion but there's nothing saying you get only one alleigance on a unit. Tzaangor get Tzeentch and Beasts of Chaos as an example Also, unless I'm really blind, the quoted FAQ is no longer present? At least not in the AoS app FAQ document?
  18. Lucio
    No FAQ needed, it has the KHORNE keyword, that's all you need to join a Blades of Khorne army. Same as Maggotkin of Nurgle is just the NURGLE keyword or Disciples of Tzeentch is just the TZEENTCH keyword. That's why you can include things like Slaves to Darkness models in the army directly
  19. Lucio
    Yes, they don't count as Allies as they had the God keyword. So your allegiance is Blades of Khorne and therefore you can include a Brass Despoilers formation as all the models gain the KHORNE keyword. Means you don't get a Herdstone, the choice of a Great Frey, any ambush abilities etc. However the members of the Brass Despoilers get any allegiance abilities of Blades of Khorne
  20. Lucio
    That'd be cool if added as a fifth Mark of Chaos, the Horned Rat

    Personally I'm using some Gorebeast Chariots for mine, partially because I've been able to get some cheaply, partially because the Gorebeast is an amazing model and partially because my "theme" is a Knightly Order of Nurgle pledged Beastmen
  22. Lucio
    No, units of 6 to make them easier to buff with your Shoggoth. With a cunning mix of Saraus warrior and maurauder you could also build some Bestigor or Gors which are lizard legs and human torsos to fit into the army theme
  23. Lucio
    So, building an Order of the Flies themed army, mixing in Chaos Warrior, Knights and Chariot models to keep the feel of a bestial knightly order (as Gors/Bestigors, Centigors and Razigor Charriots) How could I convert some of the larger models into the army?
  24. Lucio
    I'm keen to see how this works out, as I've wanted to an army based on the Order of the Fly, using a mix of Chaos Warrior and Beastmen parts

    He's said Tabletop Simulator, which is a relatively well known sandbox and then used Community Mods for the armies, and tables.
