Us Skaven Players are so starved for something we're doing a jigsaw puzzle with the sprue image
And it‘s great that you‘ll soon finally get lots of new toys. Much deserved!

I have been cursed by a vile spell from the Realms - bound upon these forums, at the mere mention of Chorfs, I am forced to draw a new image in MS paint and post it here to lukewarm response. The balance of this forum would be in jeopardy otherwise - now, no matter the rumours, no faction's fans will get the upper hand in the rumour thread.
😂 You've got my vote for post of the day. Not that it matters but hey, it's at least something.

All Chorf memery aside (OK, I'll admit, I really wanted to post my newest Chorf creation that I literally made a few minutes ago because I am in desperate need for validation in form of forum reactions), I am very happy for all the ratboys, ratgirls and non-binary giant rats because hey, you deserve this. For too long has Skaven players been the most oppressed minority in this hobby (they got old sculpts)
Let's hope the Chorf memery won't turn into a memory though.
I'm so clever Tzeentch just threw a cookie at me. 👌 -

Alright, do we expect this to be talked about this weekend? Or is GW gonna play this leak off like they did the crypt guard sprues until Adepticon?
I can't speak about anything, I'm already playing FF7 Rebirth. One of my LoCs will get painted like a Chocobo.

For the our ratbrats, yes yes. -

Honestly in regards to Mordheim they might as well bring it back and tie it into the Old World (Mordheim the game itself took place like a hundred years before the Old World, but the city itself was only destroyed when Magnus the Pious became Emperor so during TOW times it should still be around and there's probably still adventurers going there).
I mean, the setting was great but could also also be easily replicated in AoS if they wanted to. I figure they won‘t focus too much on side games set in TOW outside of the main game.
I‘d be happy with either solution personally as long as the style is as gloomy as Mordheim‘s.

I wouldn‘t use the narrative as a clear indicator who‘s the mightiest, just saying. Different authors use different constellations to hype various figures. There are different kinds of strength too so even between the same two heroes/villains the outcome could go either way, factor in the circumstances and it‘s a coin toss. I guess Kragnos is somewhere in the god-beast tier, I‘d argue gods outrank god-beasts but depending on circumstances god-beasts could slay gods. I guess the strongest gods would be very likely winners however but the same could probably be said about strong god-beasts.
Either way, it‘s difficult to say anything concise. They‘re all strong but Kragnos has the ugliest face. 😋

Well, I started in WHFB with Chaos and gravitated towards Tzeentch in time, mostly due to the artwork, the final nail in the coffin were Thousand Sons however. Magic wasn‘t actually a deciding factor. I liked their look instantly but what I liked even more was their background, where the Emperor falsely condemned them (back then the background was a bit different; now they (Magnus) are pretty much fools and destined to become traitors. I prefer the old way more however.
everything else about Tzeentch, from lovecraftian themes to mutations to his capricious nature made it even better.
I like a ton of armies however, even some Eldar and Aelfs! 😋 But I‘ll always be a loyal Tzeentchian (mostly due to me being too lazy)!

I usually use varnish in between steps; like after using oils and the like. Bright metallic highlights I usually paint after varnishing, if the models are supposed to be reflective I don’t varnish them at all in the later stages for metals (it really dulls em down) or varnish clothes etc. by hand. It’s a slow process that way.
Plastic minis are pretty forgiving even without varnish as the final layer in my experience, at least my current way has worked for me so far. I don’t think I’ve got chipped paint anywhere yet. Personally I haven‘t had any bad experience with an airbrush varnish, I certainly won‘t go back to rattle cans though after a bad experience. I use a lot more (and thicker!) varnish on scenery than on my army in general.

No need to be sorry, you‘ve developed a wonderful taste in armies after your misguided aelf-youth! 😜

I'd like to open a new topic about a funny idea : what do you think would be the theme songs of the AoS armies ? Like, one song for every army in the game (faction or subfaction) that fits their vibe/lore/minis/theming the best.
Feel free to add your ideas and suggestions in the thread ! You absolutely can write your own songs in that you think work best for that particular army. The only rule is : one army = one song only. No need to tell to be cool with other people's music tastes because TGA members are wholesome !
Since I'm starting the thread, I'm starting with my theme song suggestions ! Here goes :
- Stormcasts Eternals : Ride The Lightning - Metallica
- Seraphon : Welcome To The Jungle - Guns N Roses
- Khorne : Raining Blood - Slayer
- Nurgle : Pestilence And Plague - Judas Priest
- Tzeentch : Master Of Puppets - Metallica
- Skaven : Pinkie and the Brain opening theme
- Ironjawz : The Boys Are Back In Town - Thin Lizzy
- Ossiarch Bonerepears : Spooky Scary Skeletons
What would you suggest as alternatives ? What songs would you pick for the other missing armies ? It's up to you to decide...
If we go with actual songs, I think Master of Puppets is a safe (due to its title) but musically kinda unfitting choice for big T. Heard this one being suggested for like 15 years now.
Personally, I can picture only a song by a "weird" band like Mr.Bungle to fit him, e.g.
It's weird enough, ranging from almost melodic to heavy, transitioning between different styles/musical genres... it's not an easy listen number but hey, it's complex enough for a convoluted being. I picture talking to Tzeentch must feel like listening to that song for the very first time!
Generally I tend to go more of classical or instrumental/orchestral music to convey moods. I think "Blood-starved beast" from Bloodborne e.g. would work well for an Ushoran battle. I've got a weird taste in music though (thanks. Mr.Bungle!) so I guess not many would like my picks. 😂-

The funny thing is he is actually in AoS, reborn in one of short stories

Thought I‘d share it as I immediately looked it up. Hmmm, perhaps this would be a wonderful idea for a conversion! 🤔🥰

I am divided on this one.
The overall picture looks bonesplitterz-ish, the round mark looks tau-ish to me and the top bits around what looks like a stone/ gem look idoneth-ish.If we put them together now, it would go something like ID-BONE-TAU - Slaanesh confirmed!

What team could be?
Geese of Höllenheim. It's just a team of very angry geese, hellbent on biting anyone that dares enter their turf. 🤙

I would agree that there are so many possibilities for new stories it might be a waste to just retell the old ones.
But then i just recently had my old WHFB 5.Ed Champions of Chaos book in hand and mused about those that actually never got a model or more than a few pages of fluff
Count Mordrek is just SUCH an interesting concept. Immortality as a curse might no longer count as "new" but it does work quite well in AoS over the top storytelling.
https://whfb.lexicanum.com/wiki/Mordrek
Just saw your post after I replied... oh yeah - and Imagine a model with a hulking stance like Ushoran but with more armor and tons of mutations breaking through his armor. It would be magnificent! Like Godrick the grafted but cool!
It would kinda treat on Morghur's shtick tho... 🤔 -
I think Aekold Helbrass would work well from a background perspective as his touch revived things so it would kinda work if he got revived himself.
Egrimm Van Horstmann I'd like to see cause I think it would make for a sick triple kit for Chaos. Egrimm on Baudros, Galrauch and perhaps a generic Chaos Lord on Chaos dragon.
But if I could revive anyone it would be Count Mordrek the Damned! He was like the almost Chaos spawn version of Gotrek, hoping for the sweet release of death but basically the Chaos gods didn't want him to die so he suffered mutation after mutation while retaining his sanity, which might have made things even worse for the poor sod.
I also always loved Valnir the Reaper, who also got resurrected once before by Nurgle as Papa Nurgle loved him.
I also always really liked Krell and Arbaal theUndefeated.
Oh and another dude that definitely deserves a comeback is none other than Engra Deathsword IMO. The artwork is iconic, the design splendid, he was suddenly missing after his Everchosen was slain.... there's much that could be done with him!
All of my picks are pretty darn unlikely but oh well, I hold them dear.-

BY LONG LOST NEHEKHARA RUN!!!! GW IS BRINGING GEESE TO WARHAMMER!!!!
This agent of change is an ill-tempered, foul and truly scary beast!
Fun fact: in some prisons they use geese instead of guard dogs as they are fierce, extra-territorial guardians that cannot be negotiated with or bribed unlike doggos!
I was hoping for cool armored sorcerer-warriors but a unit of angry geese might be actually even more what my army truly needed!!!

Well, they said the same thing about final fantasy and now we got 16 of them!

One of the most insane things Ive ever seen regarding Warhammer. GW has your money already, youre just hurting yourself.
I wonder if theyre interested in TOW...
They‘ll definitely cry a second time if TOW gets DE again, although they could use them already. 🤭

My Slaaneshi acquaintance in the cubicle next to mine read my screen and she reaaaally wants to meet you now. Sorry. If you are truly desperate, it might work out ok I guess? 😫

It wasn't misogynistic at all, if anything it falls under misandry as it was a joke at the expense of men. I strongly disagree with this assessment but whatever...
