  1. The miniatures are beautiful, albeit too detailed (GW's worst sin). I don't know how someone could dislike them, unless having a fixated idea of what they should look like.

    That's completely fine of course, and I understand some high elf veterans might want different things. However, if we just focus on the outlook I think the sculpts are very pretty.

  2. Thanks for the feedback and help! This is the "polished version". Not a big change, but feels good on paper having 10 more archers and it goes for 2000 pts exactly.

    Alarith Stonemage (130)
    Alarith Stonemage (130)
    Alarith Spirit of the Mountain (340)
    Avalenor, the Stoneheart King (360)
    10 x Alarith Stoneguard (200) - Stone Mallets
    10 x Alarith Stoneguard (200) - Diamondpick Hammers
    5 x Alarith Stoneguard (100) - Diamondpick Hammers
    20 x Vanari Auralan Sentinels (280)
    10 x Vanari Auralan Sentinels (140)
    BATTALIONS Alarith Temple (120)

    TOTAL: 2000/2000 WOUNDS: 116

    You have two castles you can move forward and a minor board-wide threat with your archers. From there I guess you have to test a bit. If you really need 30 Stoneguard of if 1 x 10 and 2 x 5 are enough, and you can take something different for example. 

    Why do you want to avoid Wardens in the first place? 

    I want to avoid Wardens, because I really don't like the figures. If 1x10 and 2x5 Stoneguard would be enough, I could get more Sentinels and possibly Dawnriders. It could also remove the need for 2 stonemages. 

    Surely this looks fun:

    Alarith Stonemage 

    Avalenor

    Alarith

    1x10 Stoneguard

    2x5 Stoneguard

    2x20 Sentinels

    1x5 Dawnriders

  4. Thoughts about this list, even remotely playable? Avoids playing Wardens, max cows and has ranged element

    Alarith Stonemage x2

    Avalenor

    Alarith

    3x10 Stoneguard

    2x10 Sentinels

    Alarith Temple Battalion

    It's a bit slow, but I don't know how else to go for Wardenless battlelines. 3x5 Stoneguards doesn't sound like they'd do much.

    I see Sigvald and Chaos Warriors redone and it makes me more angry with GW about the ****** that is Lumineth.

    Dark Elves got to keep their models and now new lore going and High Elves got squatted and replaced by freaking garbage cows.

     

    Look at this new models! People are excited, people are happy! Sigvald is not wearing a @#%¨& racoon hat! Chaos Warriors are not half fish!

    It is just stuff people love redone with modern tecnology!

     

    If they were going to take a ****** at High Elves they could have had the courtesy of keeping the old subfactions in CoS!

    Calm down. I think the new Slaanesh models look awful as well. Sigvald has 1$ base, spaghetti hair and stupid horns. Also the flow of the cape is horribly done. The golden dudes.. too many details, Santa's elf shoes and they have no focus point at all, nothing to look at. On the other hand,  put on the faces and you can't unwatch the horror - not that they look scary, but rather make you feel if this is the pinnacle of miniature design, perhaps there are some other normal hobbies like mountain biking or guitar playing, where you actually get good feelings instead of abysmal hatred. :D

    I still liked the models though.

    Eh I think you might be approaching the game/army wrong if you mean that sincerely. 

    Anyone else have any overpowered lists? Thanks for the Slaanesh tip, they are very interesting as well, but buying units for summoning is probably the stupidest thing I've faced during my 20+ years of playing a huge variety of miniature wargames both competitively and casually.

    The model honestly looks better in the video.  Go look again and see if you agree.

    Holy moly, you're correct! I absolutely hated Teclis after the photo, and now I suddenly love it after seeing the video. Rollercoaster of emotions. Bold sculpting and idea, but it actually really works live it seems.

    they all have the same weaknesses. Low wound count..

    This is what made me to start KO project, and possibly (finally) AoS. I've had 3 AoS projects during the last year, but all failed before even playing as the "correct" way to play seemed to be: "buy ton of dudes full of details and mold lines". Yuck. I love painting, but painting 80-160 same guys is not a hobby - it's a job.  Needless to say, finding out this the hard way is what basically made me focus on other games like Malifaux and Bushido. 

    Don't get me wrong, the models are another thing. I tested the waters with the Nightvault warband, and well.. the steampunk dwarves really hit the spot for me. I've never been more excited of GW's miniatures! Even if the clutter could still be less, I still adore these models. 

    This is probably an entire discussion by itself, but I really don't get why the community let's GW push them towards insane model counts. I want my models to matter, instead of being chaff just to be removed inc multitudes after 10 seconds of playing and moving my army with a snow-shovel.  Tongue in cheeck btw, don't take it too seriously.

    I merely wanted to say I love KO for multiple reasons, and low model count is one of them!

  9. Idk, I asked the best list few pages ago. No-one clearly answered, but I've gathered it's Petrifex: Katakros or Liege-K+Boneshaper, Soulmason, Boneshaper, 60 Mortek Guard, 6 Stalkers, few spells. Something like that..adjust to taste. 

  10. So you want good looking models, but don't want to do anything about it? :D

    I mean, what's the hurry? Take your time. Most of you probably have other armies to play with. You won't regret painting your army well, but you'll almost certainly regret painting it bad.

    I know people are looking for instant gratification these days, and it shows even in our hobby, but it's sometimes good to have a bit of patience and honest work.
