The great big Generals Handbook 2019 Discussion Topic
Jetengine replied to RuneBrush's topic in Age of Sigmar Discussions
Dont just paint them red. Convert them. -
I remember the last time GW made "Enough product to meet demand". It was called Dreadfleet. You can still find copies in the backrooms of some GWs. Similarly Gorkamorka nearly broke them.
-
I dont know if their 'exact' replacements but Army Painter do multiple colour sprays
-
I'm intrigued by the Alien RPG, especially what lore theyll use since theres so much.

How do you guys deal with frustration or losing games?
Jetengine replied to Charleston's topic in Age of Sigmar Discussions
Wargaming is like Roleplay games. Its all about finding what kind of group you want to play with. If your current group is hard-core competetive people and you just want to roll dice then maybe you need to find a more chilled group, vice versa as well fgor those who take the competetive scene seriously. Alternatively you need to have a frank discussion about what kind of game you want to play and be aware of what your faction can do. -
What do you reckon will get cheaper ?
-
No, he legitimately DID have rules to have a dragon as his steed. It was whether it was during 7th (The era of "Do what you want, we cant make models for everything") or 8th (Which started like 7th but as soon as Chapterhouse becamea thing it was "Rules only for kits") which will influence if the kit was meant to be a kitbash or a new model. If the kit was made during 7th to be released in 8th then the thought would have been "Eh they can just glue Franz on one of the several dragons we make" if it was made during 8th however then they would have intended to make a new kit for it which would be odd
-
Did Franz even have rules for his Dragon in 8th ed ? Cause I know thats when they bought out the Griffon kit that could make Karl Franz and GW dont like doubling up kits.

So, who does want Tomb Kings and Bretonnians back?
Jetengine replied to EccentricCircle's topic in Age of Sigmar Discussions
Just with the plastics.... Tomb Guard w/Halberds Tomb Guard with Sword Sepulchral Stalkers Necropolis Knights Tomb King on Foot (from the Sphinx Kit) War Sphinx Necrosphinx Thats 7 units from 3 kits. You could make more by doing what the FEC did and make unit Champions heroes. In which case you could get up to 10. -

From a buisness perspective bringing Tomb Kings back using the 8th ed plastics is a smart idea. Much smarter then making all new models. Skaven literally have 1 new model yet sell like hotcakes. If GW are unsure about Tomb Kings then throwing out a Battletome, Endless Spells and Terrain with reboxed kits is easier then making new ones and if they dont sell well ? Then next edition they get absorbed by LON. -
Steam is garbage though tbf.

For a newbie/guy interested in this faction, whats its strengths and weaknesses etc ? I've got Dispossesed and find them underwhelming (slow, boring, hordey) and am curious if their cousins play better ?

What allies would you guys suggest for Elderitch Council btw ?
-
I dont play my dispossesed anymore which is frustrating cause I love Dwarfs and have alot. They need SOMETHING cause atm their (debatably) free peoples with beards and slower. The new boatmen endless spell (with an allied wizard) may help with mobility
-
Its one of the things making me wary of starting the faction is the amount of big beasties needed. I've no problem with tons of Infantry or monstrous infantry but the Bats with their huge bases and wings look like a PITA to transport.
-
How does Spiderfang play now ? In the old days it was just "Get Scuttleboss and Shaman on Arachnarock within bubble range, drop buffs then CQC everything to death"
-
I'm concerned about my Elderitch Council. To be exact that they'll get squatted since the Swordmasters are Resin.

They bought pikes because like most european* colonists and explorers they assumed that their weapons and tactics would work anywhere. *Fantasy spain or italy iirc. -

I also think from a buisness perspective dumping the 8th ed TK moulds is a dumb idea. Your literally throwing money away. -
The funny thing is the Undead of Vampire coast was already a thing in WFB. Back in....6th ed I think ? They were going to be a forgeworld army, big resin ships the whole shebang. Then Pirates of the Carribean came out and GW got very awkward, concerned that Disney might take them to court and squashed the idea. The most that came of it was their involvement in the Lustria campaign book and a White Dwarf army list. Now though Pirates of the Carribean is a dead franchise no one cares about (Disney make more money from Marvel movies) and GW can theoretically mine the idea (since the OG idea is very old world based) for an AOS faction.

Easy way to make them stand out. They flat out ignore mortal wounds. An actual wound is someone going to the effort of stabbing something to death and ensuring its dead. MW are big explosions and cool magic attacks which kill most living things but ignore that zombies keep coming.

Jetengine replied to EccentricCircle's topic in Age of Sigmar Discussions
Id say thats debateable. Especially with the "We've made 1000pts more balanced" thing. -
Where can we talk about it then because its DIRECTLY AFFECTING age of sigmar. Sylvaneth was the first Battletome halted by it but since all the "Tome, dice, scenery, endless spell" stuff which is what has made up 4 faction releases so far (and theoretically another 3) is made in China it will still be effecting it.
