    Dead army never getting new models when it was designed for AoS from the ground up. The new and old models clash horribly from a visual perspective. 

    That‘s a pretty pessimistic point of view, don‘t you think so? By this standard, Sylvaneth, Skaven, FeC, Beasts of Chaos, and many other armies are nearly dead...and so would be the game. 
    it‘s pretty clear, that gw is trying to bring all Armies to AoS 2.0 standard. We are just one book apart from that...that is something i rarely experienced in my nearly 18 years in the hobby. They‘re updating every faction within 18-20 months...(it took 3-5 years in warhammer fantasy)...when they are done, they wont drop AoS 3.0 directly...so we are talking of 1-2 years of a release limbo, where we can expect everything from minor updates, over new models for existing factions through Campaigns to totally new factions.

  2. Well, i did the math, and the content prices (german numbers) equal out quite similar to feast of bones

    FoB: 6 Gluttons (32,50€), 2 Leadbealchers 16,25€, Scraplauncher (32,50€) = 81,25€ + hero

    Morghast (47€), Stalkers (40€), 10 Morteks (22,50€) = 109,50 + Hero

    so FoB value is roughly 190€ + two heroes

     

    Aether War:

    6 Skyfires (65€), screamers (25€) = 90€ 

    6 Riggers (65€), Gunhauler (40€) = 105€

    so aether war comes to 195€ plus two heroes.

     

    with this calculation i can totally see Aether war at the same price as Feast of Bones, on the other hand...Looncurses Sylvaneth half was also 98€+ hero...

  3. Wow...the amount if salt and whining is amazingly high in here...i‘m happy we are getting a new book and a flying hero (huge missed opportunity in the first release imo).

    I would have wished for some dice, because i like to collect them for my army...but the book is the thing that‘s important, and i‘m curious to see whats in there

  4. well Bonereapers do tempt me into buying as well as fyreslayers.

    I‘ve got about 180€ to spend on plastic and my deepkin and DoK are good to go without any further additions, i just need to paint. i‘ve got about 1800 points of sylvaneth that i currently paint.

    so before i start a new army, i‘m clearing my backlog and wait patiently for the announcement of the christmas boxes.

  5. I was always fascinated by elves. Dark elves draw my attention, claiming they are the most cultivated culture, based on  known killing methods.

    The Khainite cult in special: Blood crazed elves, rampaging through their own towns one night a year and of course Morathi, the Queen of Scheeming and self sustain.

     

    also own IDK because of weird Aelves, Sylvaneth as spirit tree elf (just wonderful models) and Slaanesh (every Aelf has a special bond with the dark prince)

     

     

  6. DoK ~65%

    Idk 5%

    HoS and Sylvaneth at 0% (waiting for contrast experiments.

     

    i actually don‘t care if i have to field grey or paint, but the big goal is of course 100%.

    The only thing is, that full-time job, Son(3.5 y) and wife have a much higher priority than fielding painted miniatures. Hobby-time gets short when you have a kid.

    i honestly have a bigger problem with gamers turning down a match because of grey masses than with people playing grey, because mostly there are reasons why it‘s not painted yet or takes some time.

    Additionally playing the game motivates me to paint my toys

  7. Well i had no special goals for  2018 until morathi revealed herself and from that on my goal was building a proper DoK-Force and paint them. The Building part was quickly achieved. I have up to 2500 points now. 

    Painting didn‘t work out that well, i need to paint some (60) witch aelves, a cauldron and 5 Heartrenders to finish them.

    I got distracted by Nighthaunt (1500 pts painted), Shadespire Deepkin, pokemon, the witcher 3 and several Books from Markus Heitz...

     

    my plan for 2019:

    1. Finish DoK-Project

    2. Start painting Deepkin

    3. Play at least once a month

    4. Try to blog about painting and playing

    5. Try to write fluff for a GSC-inspired/infected free city for AoS

    6. Stop using my wifes decoration as Terrain stand-in and build my own terrain pieces

    Really nice work there, I like the use of the classic cauldron models! 

     

     

    Also fellow Khanites give me strength to order another 30 Witches! I've decided I won't event attempt batch painting them until I've got my ideal core of 100 witches (90 in 3 groups and 10 "spares" some for conversion work and a couple for sacrifice to the painting gods of experimenting). I've got 30 but its painful to spend this much on core troops! 

    Yeah, spending retail prices on Witch Aelves is really painful. I own 60, bit i did some really good deals on used witches. 

    Maybe you want to keep an eye on trading groups, forums or ebay

  9. Hello fellow Admirals,

     

    I‘m a DoK player at Heart (Morathi was one if the Reason i started Dark Elves back in the old days) but recently i found myself searching for a different playstyle , and the Sky-Dwarf got my Attention. Iloved their design from the Start so i had to buy them at some point. 

    Since my DoK-Army is ready modelwise (no need to buy anything, just paint them) i feel free to start a new Army.

    I basicaly bought the Battleforce without a Frigate for 45€ (Second hand).

    to my surprise, the former owner put the Frigate inside the deal without asking for money. Reason: he tried to convert her, but wasn‘t able to finish the conversion.

    And this is the point of my story, at which i have to involve you.

    My Frigate is missing the following parts:

    The middle sized Endrin ( the straps are there) 

    the Crew-Member sitting in the Big Endrin

    the Main Cannon

    one bomb rack

     

    my biggest concern is the Frontal Endrin. Im located in Germany and i couldn‘t find a bitz store that had the parts in stock.

    Do you guys have any ideas how to replace  the Endrin?
