I absolutly will. I´m not the best painter but i hope to make them ok. also, battlrerports coming up. But it will propably take some time as I need more models. My plan is to buy some more models in june. Thinking about 4 pack of twinsouls and painbringer. Make them into three units of 1x10 painbringers, and 2x5 twinsoul. What do you think about that? Then will my next step be some more hero and daemonettes so summon.

So good new. Yesterday I bought the armybook, the fane (I was not planing to but as it seems every store, and GW, has it as outsold at this moment, I could not miss a chance to pick it up from my local gamestore), a unit of blissbarb archers and a shardspeaker. All for starting my new army of hedonites! So far I have only starting to read the book (which I love) and I hope to fix under the weekend some of the minatures. For a long time I´m actually looking forward to put some paint on some minatures!

I actually like that we didn´t stay as a superpower. The fact that it now take some skill to win is much more intersting, both for me and my opponents. Of course you always want to win but not because the writer has written a bad book (or in the this case, a too good book). That we can win against almost every army and lose to them is a good selling point for me. But of course it looks that soem fixing could be done but I think that will happend in AoS3.0

It sounds intersting that finding the points to summon is not to hard. I like that. Also thanks for the reports. Sounds like some thought battles but several that could have gone your way with a bit of mroe luck.

T bad to hear about the Slaangors. I really like the models and the bakcground behind them. But as I´m starting up I will chose other units but later I think I will buy some anyway, just because of the models. And who know, perhaps they will get better in time? I feel its strange that they dont have one more wound and lower points.

It seems to me that as the new armybook is diffrent from the old one and we got a couple of new units (specially mortals) it lot to think about and so far I guess not all has yet fallen into place. But I really do like the sounds of that its a fun army. Because i´m looking for something that si both fun for me and for my opponent. I hate it when you meet an army that you allready from the start know that you will lose, and lose big even. A fun army together with all the new wonderful miniature sounds great. Then I can agree that it sounds that GW still need to check in on some things, like points, but I think a lot will change when AoS 3.0 will come. So better way and see what happends there. I know in 40k some armies had a very high price in 8:ed got few or hardly any points increase when 9:ed came (like custodes). Something similiar could happend to us. We get few points increase and the rest get higher in price (or who knows, pehaps everyone will go down in price, only GW knows at this point, luckly it´s only 30 days left until new edition).

Thanks for your answer and advice. I like you list very much as it has lot of mortals in it. But I don´t mind daemons (I know a hedonites army will summon some) it´s just that I really really like the new mortal units! They looks so good. So a couple of daemons is allright. Seems like a intersting list with lots of cool minatures. Any more advice or good thing to know?

Hello fellow Hedonites. I´m thinking to perhaps start with hedonites but I´m wondering what is a good start? Number one is of course to get armybook but I´m wondering what is next step? I want to focus on mortals and summon daemons. How important is is to get the endless spells and the fane? I´m thinking to start with a unit of blissbarb archers and shardspeaker. Is that good. Anyone that also got some tactic, advice or something else to keep in mind?

@Molkaice Thanks for your respond. I think you are right. Is seems like inte the calm before the storm. But I just love miniatures and just finishen the Book, king of a blind court that was a fun Read. It really fleashed out our background.

How is it that this part of the forum is very quit? I see few new posts about Idoneth and wonder why? Is it because of the old armybook and that it was a long time since we got any new minatures (but now some new are coming at leasts, in underworld), beautiful if I may say so and who don´t like crabs?). I´m thinking to start a new AoS army and right now this is one of the main candidates. I think the fluff are intersting, the minatures are wonderful and gameplay looks intersting too (even if eel seems to good).

I also really like the warband and it´s new animals really open up some new options for ID. Would love some crab cavalery. Also I hope the warband gets some good AoS rules too so we can use them. ID really need some new units in AoS.

Thanks, this sounds very intersting both of your views. I actually like the models and it´s intersting to play an "elite" force of death as they usually are more of a horde army in most settings. It also sounds that you can do diffrent tactics, all from cavalery charge, wall of undead soldiers, medium monster army and shooting. So thats a fun mix.

Hello Bonereapers. Im new to AoS and Im thinking to perhaps start OBR. But Im wondering of they are fun to play with and against? Why do you like them?

Thanks for your quick answer and if feels good that we played is right. Now I know. Powerful ability but as several of you have said, as soon as our heros dies then we start to lose power. but I really like the army and it was so fun. The fun aspect actually surpised me as I have played so much 40k the last couple of years and in my gaming group both AoS and FEC had a bad reputation (bad game system and few and ugly models). But when I playe dit was the oppositet for me. I love the models, they where intersting and fun to game with and the gamesystem was strong. So I´m happy to give it a new chance and I´m allreaady looking forward to another game. Now I just need to find a throne, seems most places has sold out of them, even GW.

Had my first fight in a long time with my FEC this saturday and I had a lot of fun. Me and a friend have restarted AoS and I play FEC and he plays ironjaws. Both the armies and the game was intersintg and fun. I will contuie to play (and paint) as I feel the army was very intersting with tactical options. Also AoS was really fun and strategical, much better then I remember it (have mostly played 1:ed) which usually eneded in a big brawl in the middle of the board. Just one question after the game, can a varghulf courtier bring back more then one model to a unit? Because I was lucky to get three dice in one round to become 5+ and we played it that it could bring back 3 models to a horror unit. But is that right? Feels powerful.

Its very intersting that GW release so many AoS factions(which I love) but has seem to forgot some of original factions, like fyreslayers, sylvanth and ironjaws. All iconic for AoS but sadly not geting anything new(except for some endless spells). This is not critisms but rather for GW to see a window for selling more miniatures. They should do classic revival of the orginal factions! Would be cool too. While Nagash and everyone has been waring, the old factions is back with new weapons and units!

One of the thing that can me this faction more intersting is a bigger range. I think the few option, specially as many see them as similiar (I dont really agree but I can understand it) is the big brake for our faction. Just two three new units would help. It would help visual and tactial. I think vulkite berzekers should be our battleline, and the rest more elite. but I´m also more of a lore background, I would never use more then one runefather in my army

One of the thing I like about the fyreslayers is that much is unexplored and a good writer with a nice team of minatures makers could do so much. It seems that right now the army is not so popular but that could easy change, if GW really put some into them. Perhaps they have allready done(as we now GW some times have minatures waiting for up to three year before release). Would be nice if they just could spoil a bit if something is on it´s way. Also, introduce some female models, we don´t need to be a full male faction. I really like the fluff behind Vostags that was in the white dwarf about, Grimnir (I think his name is) him having a daughter and it seems her destiny is to take up the crown!

Im actually hoping we are not being rolled into a united tome as I like our unique aspect. What I would like is to expand with more units and make some background (fluff) more clear. I´m really looking forward and as I bought my fyreslayer when they where released I´m going to buy the new endlesspells, our terrain and ofc the new book. After that I will try to get some more Hearthguards Btw, most of my gamestores around where I live has sold out most of the things for fyreslayers. Is that just bad luck for me or is it similiar in other stories too (thinking specially about armybook, terrain and endless spells)?

I´m thinking to restart my fyreslayers. I´m looking forward to start with a new paint work, geting some extra models etc. Do you have any nice advice for me? Second, do you think GW has forgotten us? Because I think they could do so many fun things with our faction. Like some cavalery, dwarf with molten lances on smaller lizards, perhaps some female miniatures operating some sort of warmachine, perhaps a avatar of Grimnir (huge dwarf slayer with a big axe roaming around), etc. Or what do you think? Are GW planing something for the future or will they let us rest for a while?

I will start to reach 1000p but later on my goal is at least 2000p, perhaps even more! Ironguts sounds like a good idea with a butcher and slaughtermaster. Later on I want some beastclaws too. I really enjoy this army. I have glued all together and hope to get some basic ground spray on tonight so I can tomorrow start painting them

So i just got the armybook, one Tyrant, one unit of 6 gutbusters and 4 leadbelchers to start with my AoS army. Do you have any advice what to buy next to reach 1000p? I´m thinking to get our get started box and one butcher but should I get something else or more?

So with the new cards out, what do people think about the stormcasts? I´m tempted to use my Aos stormcast and use them in warcry but I don´t know yet if they would be fun to play?

Thanks, good idea

Just a question about the game, what rules did the orks use? Great pictures otherwise
