I wonder how good that spell will look without the amazing paint job which is giving it far more texture and detail than the model itself. 

I guarantee you that it will be a 3-piece model. One for the base, two for the "neck" that will slit down the middle symmetry.  So however much detail they can get with suck few dimensions is your answer.

What I find odd about the new spell (which is superb) is that they have used static grass on the base. Which is odd as they dropped it from their stores not so long ago. Wonder if it will make a return.

Gamesworkshop has an entire team of staff that paints models and build scenery for their photo-shoots (not the Heavymetal team, but an internal, salaried team for Age of Sigmar specifically). They build props using non-GW products, so i wouldn't read into what you see in their photos.

The skin from face maybe for destraction ogros butcher comes to mind

Possibly, but in all the previous ogor models, they have never flayed human skin (lots of bones, meats, corpses, and organs though). Some models sport animal hides, but that's it.

Also:

"distraction ogros"

Ah, this means that the horn is maybe an endless spell... hopefully not.

I really don't think so. Look at how the highlights scale on the model; This piece is very small. It could easily be a prop fro a new unit or hero, but not a horn-themed endless spell.

Well me too but I keep resisting the urge to buy Stormcast Eternals and go full red white and silver and call them the Scarlet Crusade from WoW and have them go full crazy and think everyone is chaos heretic scum that must be purged. 

I also love ****** as much as Andrew but I’m with John Roy on totally not getting the Slaanesh thing and not needing my army to be things I want to bone down. I feel like this podcast is two sides of myself arguing and vying for dominance. 

I love the Idea of a Scarlet Crusade. You could convert a lord exorcist to look like Whitemane, or at least give them the Chapeau!

i know how you feel, these guys perfectly capture a lot of my thoughts about the game.

@Ravinsild Every time I listen to this podcast, I'm reminded that I'm a grown adult playing with little toys and painting dolls. LotPM reminds me to not take things too seriously and just enjoy the game for the elaborate yatzee that it is.

I hope that the Terrain feature for the Nighthaunt is just a wire-frame that we have to drape our own bedsheet over.

[AoS 2 - Nighthaunt Discussion]

I am very close to building my first 2000pts Nighthaunt list, and I'm looking for some advice of how to round it out. Here is what I have so far:

Allegiance: Nighthaunt

LEADERS

Lady Olynder, Mortarch of Grief (240)
- General
- Lore of the Underworlds : Shademist

Reikenor the Grimhailer (180)
- Lore of the Underworlds : Spectral Tether

Guardian of Souls with Nightmare Lantern (140)
- Lore of the Underworlds : Soul Cage
- Infernal Lantern (Artefact) : Beacon of Nagashizzar

Knight of Shrouds on Ethereal Steed (140)
Spirit Torment (120)

Vampire Lord (140)
- Flying Horror
- Allies

UNITS
20 x Chainrasp Horde (160)
30 x Grimghast Reapers (360)
9 x Spirit Hosts (360)

TOTAL: 1840/2000
WOUNDS: 112
LEADERS: 6/6 BATTLELINES: 3 (3+) BEHEMOTHS: 0/4 ARTILLERY: 0/4
ARTEFACTS: 1/1 ALLIES: 140/400

As a huge noob, I'm looking for any and all advice. Not only do i need to fill another 160 points, but I'd be find with removing some stuff to add others. I don't know my local meta, so i can tune for that later.

Thanks in advance!

A new warrior kit, that more closely resembles the longbeard models, would be sweet.  Basically, no more horned helmets, they now wear a mixture of scale mail and solid plate rather than chain mail, have bigger and more detailed shields, and come in a batch of 20 with both weapon options.  

Lets be real. They'll come in a batch of 10 and be $50.00 per box.

Anyone have any tips or tricks for spicing up Ogor pants? Painting my lot up and decided on blues and reds, but they seem a tad plain! 

Skin I plan to do a few tattoos, or at least try too. But Im at a bit of a loss for the britches. Don't really like the old style of pin stripes. Bit too old world for me!

One of the reasons i really enjoy Ogors is that each Ogor, in lore, makes their own clothes and armor from stuff they've pillaged. Each of my ogors have pants made from a different cloth. Try to imagine what kind of cloth an Ogor might find after eating a village, then use that as the pattern for the pants. 

Flags, tablecloths, cloaks, sails, burlap, etc. I'll often make teach leg a different color too, seamed up the butt with those massive seam lines.

Lovely trailer, i really like how iT says that stormcast going to the extremes of killing innocent people gives power to Slaanesh. Finally a little more depth and less ‘slaanesh is about sex and bondage’ 

let’s hope we’ll see some amazing mini’s

That's refreshing. Honestly, the idea of playing a slaanesh army is kind of repulsive as I feel like it draws too much attention towards the "thirsty neckbeard" stereotype. I hope there are fewer nipple piercings and more diverse representations of indulgence.

Hi guys, sorry for the question but how do you bring the miniature around? I have a tournament in 2 week and i willbring nighthaunt, but i do not know how to move them without them to be damaged. On internet i did not find nothing that seems safe enough, apart from feldherr but those are really expensive and i'm not sure that those are enough safe for nighhaunt.

I use the foam trays, similar to felherr cases, that came with a GameWorkshop branded carrying case, about 200 dollars CAD from a few years ago. Has more than enough room for 2000 pts.  They protect the models real nicely, but you still have to be careful when placing or removing them. The little whispy bits get caught in the foam sometimes.
