[Let's Chat: Crimson Court]

Are these available now? Can’t see them on any sites?

[Soulblight Gravelords News, Rumours and Speculation]

Thanks both! Just need to see the scale of the newer models now, as I got burned with gigantic chaos knights that look ot of whack with my old ones, so cautious about the Blood Knights being the same. Def on that book though!

[Soulblight Gravelords News, Rumours and Speculation]

Whats the speculation on release date? I'm a long term undead fan and highly likely to buy this book and actually play some AOS accordingly.

The other reason for lotr being smaller was a contractual obligation to make the models incompatible with Warhammer 

This isn’t true.

Rick Priestly confirmed recently that the reason models were smaller was so that they  could fit everything on a single sprue and keep the production costs down per box.

Again: terminology. In either case that would not be a throne unless it‘s in the throneroom.

My throne is in the bathroom.

That makes sense if the throne is only set up wholly within the FEC deployment zone.  But why would they have built it out in the middle of the board? It's like having a baggage train, and sending it out in the middle of the battlefield while the general ranks up his forces.

The throne looks like something that should be in your army's "base camp" which (scenario and/or themed battlefield notwithstanding) would not be halfway between your army and your enemy.  Actually, the more I think about it, I hope the throne's rules stipulate that it has to be set up in your own deployment zone (more likely "within your army's territory").

Well, previously, they were encamped there but driven off by an opposing force. The king, unhappy as the loss of his throne, has decreed that they must push forward and reclaim this for glory when it is in the midst of an enemy army.

 

Done.

[AoS 2 - Flesh-eater Courts Discussion]

I'm fairly happy, as I spent the weekend digging up my old ghoul collection, glued up some of the recent GW plastic ones to add to them and will be painting everything this week............then read a new book is on its way. Perfect timing. I reckon, once I've done the bigger beasts next week, the full project will be done in a fortnight

Don't like that throne much though. Its too ordered, clean and designed for how I see my lot. I know its supposed to be a throne, but it doesn't have to be a literal one. I'd just make one from a big pile of rotting bones thats been sat in.

Legion of Nagash not rated as Very Strong? Have you seen Nagash with 3 battlelines of maxed out Grimghasts

This might use a crude power approximation so new players know what they‘re in for if they choose for example Kharadrons

 

sth. Along the lines of:

(very weak, weak, medium -, medium, medium +, strong, very strong)

power approximation

KO - weak

Bretonnia - Very Weak

LoN - Strong

SCE - Strong

FeC - Medium

DoK - Very Strong

Seraphon - medium +

Beastclaw Raiders - medium -

IdK - Strong

 

etc.

Tiers used to be the WFB way of expressing this.

[Current State of the Armies]

Good idea and a very handy resource. Any clarification on Blades of Khorne? It seems like it’s a 1.0 older book?

[What setting would you like for future WHQ releases?]

Escaped slaves making their way out of a black ark or a witch elf temple

Oh, good take, GOOD TAKE! Thats a winner right there.

Hey- absolutely- i'm wanting to run a range of events- right now we're doing a single monthly one day AoS tournament, but i'd like to do a narrative doubles event, perhaps all in the same realm with all rules in place, with scores for painting etc, along with a two day tournament.

Cool - sounds like just the ticket! Should have read your signature, really

When it happens, get the ads out and we'll see about getting permission from HQ!

[Events UK: Bad Moon Cafe : War in the Mortal Realms]

Maybe not the best place for this, but it seems to be the only Bad Moon Cafe thread I can find - anyone know if anyone may run a narrative event there at some point? I'm not much of a tournament person, but a narrative led event would be a draw.

 

Cheers

Very very nice indeed. My sort of mini. Got a blog?

[[GA: Death] The icy touch of death!]

Nicely done. 

[Spellbreakers at Realm's Edge]

Looking all good so far!

[AoS28 - The Dark Age of Sigmar]

Looking tasty so far!

[Age of Sigmar RPG]

Funnily enough, I was just wondering if this would ever be a thing and dismissed it! Haha

I’d  probably be getting a copy, but would prefer it focussed more on ordinary types rather than the big name characters who appear in and drive much of the current narrative fiction. 

Would probably include Stormcast in that as well - give or take that opinion  - as the more common folk moving through the realms and it’s threats is the sweet spot for me rather than Demi gods in armour.

also - getting the AOS28 bunch involved could be a good move

Yeah the marauder horses come up alot in searches. They look great but its the saddles that bother me. Not sure how hard they would be to remove. Was thinking someting really different and using spider riders but not sure

I'm planning on using the Otherworld Centaurs as the base for the conversions.

 

Backup would be the wood elf wild riders. Bit too active in the posing though.

@Mosquito onthe TenthFloor try reading the new Novella books, they establish peoples and settings really well. Skaven Pestilens also does well even though the civilization it describes is somewhat torn to bits by the rats. 

Cheers! I'll have a flick through one in Waterstones or somewhere to see. Always found much of the Black Library a bit too purple for my taste, but I'll certainly give it a look and see.

[The Rage Quit Amnesty]

Never really rage quit..............drifted away from WFB due to boredom with what it had turned into around 7th and didn't bother with 8th after a couple of tries..........then drifted away from GW altogether from boredom over what they had turned into............went pure historical.

Gave AOS a try when it came out, didn't think much of it really. And I still can't make head nor tails of the setting? Are there actual people in these realms? Society?

But.........I like a modelling project, I like to cut loose with painting and making things, which only goes so far with historical stuff, so a bit of a loose approach is kinda what AOS is for, isn't it? Certainly for me.
