    Everquest has several. In velious you built up faction with dwarves dragons or the giants. Each was either a city to raid or do massive quests with 

    I've actually started playing Everquest on P99 on and off over the last year, but I'm not up  to Velious content yet.

    I personally feel incredibly lucky to get my dream army. And as @Overread states it can take years. Mine took 2 Decades and a World to be destroyed to become reality.

    Have you always liked giants in fantasy settings?

    I can't really think of many books/games/movies where there were fleshed out giant factions, except a very old PC game called Warlords (storm giants faction).

    I know they have 2 Psychic Awakening books to get out yet but they have a month to drop them before 9th- seems easy and sets up some of the factions for the new edition. 

    I really hope they never do an AoS equivalent of Psychic Awakening. It's absurd how many campaign books there are for 40k now and from what I've seen the only good ones were the two for Vigilus. 

    I mean how many books do people have to take with them to play 40k now? Completely insane to have army rules coming from so many different books, all of which cost money. Should just be core rules + army book, nothing else.

    At this point I suspect you'll only be happy when they finally squat cities so you can dance on their corpse.

    Sounds to me like he owns a cities of sigmar army and is just concerned that any further investment might be a waste of time and money? I can understand that worry and frustration.

    I have no basis for this, other than that there is no new plastic for Cities, and recently it's the only faction without Warcry, and one of the few without Underworlds.

    As for the freedom, I feel that's quite limited with only pregen cities from two realms.

    In lore, they only need to take out these cities to wipe the faction.

    I reckon it's a safe bet that the cities will stay in the lore, particularly ones as widely known as Hammerhall. 

    I agree that the plastic kits are in an odd place. Personally I would like to see a few new plastic kits for cities of sigmar released to give people confirmation that nothing dodgy is going to happen to the army.

    Yeah, it's another reason for me to step back. I suspect Cities isn't going to make AoS 3.

    Edit: I was one of the people suggesting this.

    Man, imagine having a huge collection from WHFB that you then rebased for using as CoS in AoS 2, only to find out they are squatted in AoS 3 and you now need to re-base them back to squares to play in the Old World. 

    I'd be irate.

    I thought the Wrath of Khorne Bloodthirster is mathematically the best one, but sure strategic wise, it totally makes sense to broaden your picks for strategic flexibility.

    So I should take two Slaugtherpriests and remove the Wrathmongers? The Wrathmongers give the Bloodthirsters (and all other Khorne untis in 8") +1 attacks. The plan was to let them run with the bloodthirsters to only buff them.  But with the higher range of the aura from the Bloodsecrator, that can really be better.

    Hmm I would remove the skull grinder from the 2000 point list as well as 1 of the bloodthirsters (or skarbrand). Replace with 2 slaughter priests and gore pilgrims battalion. 

    You'll have some spare points left over for an endless prayer or two depending what you choose to take out. Hexgorger skulls are nice to have.

    What do you think of this army? Are the mortals good to keep up with the movement of the Bloodthirsters in theory? Or are they just too slow?

    I really like to hear your opinion...

    Little bit perplexed why you're planning on running 3 wrath of khorne thirsters instead of 1 of each type? 

    Also, usually people like to take slaughter priests and the gore pilgrims battalion to support the bloodthirsters.

  9. Thanks to the recommendations in this thread I've started on Plague Garden.

    It's by the same author as Spear of Shadows so I'm sure it'll be good...but I must admit I find Stormcast to be a bit on the dull side.

    Might try the Idoneth book after this one, or maybe Gloomspite as quite a few people have been recommending that.

    Because you're the evil poster boy faction.

    Plus you guys have a giant dragon riding character(he's expensive, but so is most of this hobby).

    Eh, rather have a $50 plastic character on foot with good rules than a $1,000 resin dragon from forge world with bad rules.

  11. I've been reading Spear of Shadows by Josh Reynolds and it's been great so far, but today I learned that ol' Josh isn't writing the second or third books for the originally planned trilogy. This makes me a sad.

    Does anyone have any recommendations for what to read next? I've heard Plague Garden is pretty good?

    Thank you.
