Oh nice, thanks

No one pays full price for the kharadron overlords skywardens and gunhaulers, you get a start collecting. This box set is 2 start collecting boxes worth of content and I'm fine with it, I brought the new battlebox but it's not 190 quids worth of stuff.

Anyone know of any shields that would suit arkanauts?

No one has mentioned the Stormcast endless spell Everblaze Comet. 36" range can cause up to 3 MW to units within 10" first turn then up to D3 MW each battleround after it is cast, plus subtract 1 from cast rolls for wizards within 5". can not be moved so its not coming back to hurt you.. plant it on an objective in the back field and let the enemy deal with it.

I'm all for waiting for the rules but after 3 years it would have been nice for something new to paint outside of a hero and the underworld warband. That's what I'm 'salty' about. I play once, maybe twice a month but I paint everyday. I was looking forward to new models. I will buy the battle box, get the battletome and enjoy the games I play but I won't need to buy anymore KO, I don't need to chase whatever the meta will be. I have enough.

Was hoping for kharadron overlord style endless spells ,thinking drones etc but apparently I have more imagination then games workshop.

I can see thunderers having there unique weapons turned into 'are equipped with an assortment of weapons' and now having just the one gun profile. Same damage,less jump through hoops to get to it. They did this with brutes and the thunderers profile is way worse.

The new white dwarf? It is out now. My local asda had it , which was odd because they normally do not stock it.

Would be a shame if the ships were regulated to display pieces again because they were just 'ok' on the tabletop. I have a beastclaw raider army and since the new book I've not ran thundertusks at all, it's stonehorn all the way if I'm running BCR or mixed ogors. I will say the new white dwarf and battle box are all about air battles, so I'm interested to see if that affects how the battletomes are written.

Not sure KO can be done in either style because the large ships are troop carriers as well. The ships ,outside the gunhauler, are costed as troop carriers and their warscrolls are built around moving troops about. It is why they have always been lacking in armour and damage output. They would not work like other behemoth armies. Actually thinking about it, you could have two warscrolls for each ship, including the gunhauler. One that allows troops to be carried , let's say 3 ballon boys for a gunhauler, 10 foot troops for the frigate and 15 for the ironclads plus the rule for more troops equals movement loss. Then the other warscrolls could be straight up battle ships with higher armour and better weapons but they lose the troop carrying ability. For the non troop version you could have make different KO heros into the captain of each ship and have them unlock different abilities. An admiral as captain of a ship could unlock the abilitie to make ships battleline. Khemist could unlock double shoots on a ship etc. Would require a complete rework but that's what new battletomes are for.

So 6 ballon boys, 1 gunhauler and the new hero. Would have preferred the thunderers from the start collecting but I guess the box will be about air battles so they need flying units.

If that's true then what am I ment to do for the rest of the day? Talk to people?

Looks like I've found my fire belly model.

I've done it with leadbelchers and it looks like they are bracing to shoot, ironguts would just look odd. You could try putting a gnobler in front of the model to block the view of the legs

There was a ruomor from earlier this year about a clockwork army. I always assumed it was the clockwork constructs that mine sigmarite as the rumor was it was an order army but it could be Aelves.

I painted up this ogor on maw-krusha as a gordrakk stand in as ogors are the true masters of destruction, then they changed his warscroll and we can not ally him in Now he nevers sees the board anymore unless I go full fat destruction and lose those MW on charge 😭

A 3+ means nothing in a MW spam meta (warp cannon does MW for instance), the 5++ is nice but against a lot of attacks your struggle, Also I wouldn't relie on the slaughtermaster healing/buffing because of 'wholly within' and our large base sizes, you will have to make an objective choice and split up your army.

I toke a similar list to this, I ended up giving up turn 3 against a skaven tide list which destroyed me with two warp cannons and magic. He got a double turn and that was it. I would drop the frost Lord or gluttons and take 10 leadbelchers. The leadbelchers help force your opponent to not sit back and nuke from afar.

This is my slaughtermistress, it is a model from the boardgames Hatred.

Thanks, That's a shame.

Quick question, does the battalion 'Butchers band' allow me to use a slaughtermaster as the butcher as he has the butcher keyword? Arguing with a friend about it, AOS uses keywords for things like this so I think it is fine.

Mournfang are units of 4 now. I know the changes do not look that great but i am holding out on our points dropping a lot. I have a large collection and it sucks having to leave so much on the shelf.

I don't really trust GW and removing models. Until I saw a rule referencing yetis or a warscroll I was not going to believe they were still in.

Call of the blizzard answers if we still have yetis.

So those traits are if that model is the general? They seem kinda rubbish, I hope they each have a few to choose from.
