Remake 2.0 for Age of Sigmar Tactics meaningful?
MitGas replied to EMMachine's topic in Age of Sigmar Discussions
This might've been mentioned but in the video game world they balance units, characters, whatever exclusively from the feedback they get from professional players (or by analyzing their matches) - I think that's the right way to go here as well, even if it means that my opinion (or that of other casuals, albeit I'm probably way, way worse at the game than most of you guys here) is of no consequence to them as I'm simply not good enough at the game. I can live with that perfectly fine. -
I've tried lots of stuff and personally my best units were: 6x Enlightened (even without a Shaman) and Gaunt Summoner on Balewind Vortex (with Familiars - he's INSANE). Those two performed extremely well in my games and are a great start for a 1k list IMO. Pink Horrors are decent, mostly for their casting and as speedbumps (due to splitting) though you could also just use some endless spells for the job (I had a lot of success with shackles and prismatic palisade). Kairic Acolytes never did me any good so far but I play against elite armies (Ironjawz, Nurgle, StD), so that is to be expected. Flamers underperformed as well but that might be down to me rolling badly.
-
100% agreed. It's also the only thing I really want mini-wise for my DoT army. And Chaos Warriors are indeed very iconic (probably one of the five most iconic things done by GW), at least way more than SCE...
-
Yeah, with so many changes the book is a true mess. I also think the LoC is highly overcosted at the moment - I mean Thanquol is 400 points and arguably a better pick in most situations.
-
Just shows me how dumb I am - I never thought about just cutting away the round shape and replace it with a magnet... magnetizing the tzaangors to the discs - I totally believe you how hard that is... it's already quite annoying to have them stay in place with normal glue. I think I'll steal that idea from you with magnetizing the accessoires, that seems manageable, but I guess mine will be fixed to the discs with plastic glue when the time comes (I've currently fixated them with a tiny bit of superglue so that I can take it apart when it's time to paint them...).
-
You're pretty handy then! I didn't glue that part yet as my Disc Tzaangors are still unprimed plastic but I'm not sure how if I will pull it off with the tiny Enlightened parts (scrolls, dagger, etc.). Seems pretty damn hard.
-
Thanks so much for the help! I've looked into chinchilla (I hope that's how you spell them...) sand on amazon but didn't order it because I wasn't sure that the sand would be finer. Well, now I at least know that sand for birds is the perfect size! TY!
-
As long as you don't run into THAT guy who complains about them having no quivers (or Enlightened having quivers). A friend told me about that when he visited a local GW, apparently there really are such people around! 😂
-
That archregent looks really great, I really dig the pale, blue-ish look you got going on the skin - and I also love your basing on it. Would you be so kind and give me a hint where you get such fine sand for basing? It looks really awesome as its size works way better with miniatures than most sand I've seen used - hope you don't mind the question but there are so many talented people here I kinda have to ask and learn a few things...
-
Can you quickly get a job at GW just to pitch them those changes?
-
Thanks for the mini-tutorial and the detailed list of colors, it will definitely come in handy. Much appreciated! -
Beautiful color - I hope you don't mind but what color did you use for the main body? A grey with carroburg crimson with a fade to brown/black? Looks exceptional! Great job!
-
Well, they could easily have some kind of Mordheim up at the Allpoints - maybe a haunted city of "normal" people that used to live there. It does sound interesting and I can't wait to see the terrain that might come with it. Personally I was really hoping to see new Chosen minis (or more of Darkoath/Slaanesh in general) but at least the 40k Chaos reveal was lovely. Yeah, I'm impatient. Khorne getting endless spells prayers before Tzeentch is kinda ironic though.
-
Hmm, if it's for ALL players, perhaps they thought about doing stuff like hills or modular rivers, especially with now everyone using printed/textured mats for gaming. Or even printed maps?
-
Terrain as good as the 40k one would be awesome, I just hope it's not another ruined temple/fortress7cathedral as we got the azyrite ruins already and something different would be cooler...
-
"rat and mouse" here, take my like!
-
I've never heard someone do IRL. Just on this forum and I find it hilarious. I've heard it in this awesome (and very weird) video though and loved it:
-
I like the new releases (especially the throne) but sorry to see that not everyone is happy. I don't know why but Skaven are tempting me more and more.... I guess it's Skreech with writing yes-yes or kill-kill all the time, I love it, "Skaven-speak" always makes me smile. Edit: Oh and those dice are the first really cool ones. Easy to read and looking very cool. I wish the Tzeentch ones were this good.
-
I'd say Vilitch is still a great model (I also got one but mine isn't painted yet - nice job btw.) and the right size but Finecast isn't plastic... The Fatemaster needs an update ASAP though, you're right on that one - he really sticks out in a bad way IMO.
-
Well, Darkoath so far doesn't look sophisticated enough for Tzeentch anyways. They're not far from mere animals compared to our glorious minions. Nobody you'd want to play with would mind you using acolytes as marauders though. I hope that we get new Chaos Warriors or at least Chosen/Varanguard on foot. I love my Tzeentch stuff dearly but I want at least a unit or two of sexy new Warriors or Chosen simply because they are iconic, got me into Warhammer and while the basic models are actually still quite good, their static pose really dates em. They'd also be great for converting Curselings and Fatemasters (I do dig Vilitch though).
-
Thanks for the answer - I don't see the extra spell on the online warscroll of the BWV but that is probably outdated. Either way, a Gaunt with three spells is amazing. The guy (and the LoC, though he's so damn expensive at almost 400 points...) is the one character that always does his job.
-
Sorry for troubling you but how do you get the GS to cast 3 spells a turn? That would be truly awesome...
-
Well, as far as I know the points in the warscroll builder are the correct ones - https://www.warhammer-community.com/warscroll-builder/ We had so many changes to our rules/prices our tome is next to useless for the rules. 😂
-
Ah, cool, thanks for the reality check there - I thought DR was a "save after the save" thingy but so far we always played it like it should be played anyways thankfully.
-
What strikes always strikes me as a bit weird is the way their judgement from afar is worded: "... inflicts d3 mortal wounds and the attack sequence ends (do not make a wound/save roll)" - kinda reads as if special abilites like Nurgle's couldn't be used here either (of course they would but the way it's worded it sounds as if no save ability (including Disgustingly resilient) was allowed)
