Its close, but it isnt the same. Zogrod's staf has a leather strap at the end tying the prongs together, and has some science-y tubes. I definitely think this is part of whatever the new Destruction faction will be.

Looks like you’re right. I’m back to being excited for frog hunting Gnoblars.

[The Rumour Thread]

Do we know where the initial Destruction army rumors came from?

The swamp theme doesn’t seem to work with Steppe Hobgoblin wolf riders. Doesn’t feel AoS-y enough. 
 

this rumor engine definitely feels like it could be a Goblinoid frog spear.

 

 

Edit: I take it back. This is the rear end of Zodgrod’s gretchin prodder.

[The Rumour Thread]

I always liked Gnoblars. Would love to see them back in the game.

Agreed. 5 year old stormcast sculpts did not need a redesign, especially when so many factions still have ancient sculpts. 

AoS is setting a precedent for continuous SCE updates while other factions languish with neglect.

 

I understand why you would feel this way.

From my perspective I think the original Stormcast models are atrocious, every model in the range I could never see myself painting a single one. With these new Stormcast I am all in on the starter set and may even make a Stormcast army.

So from a business perspective what they’re doing is pretty smart and will gather new players and sell more models.

[The Rumour Thread]

In regards to the new faction I seem to recall that the community team imply that there were some hints in the Broken Realms short stories.

I skimmed through some of the destruction centered ones and didn’t find much outside of Orruks getting mystical about Kragnos.

I’m slowly building up my Slaves force starting from Warcry. Is there much of a point to taking the Warcry warbands as small  units or is it much more beneficial to double up?

High. No other gods have them separate.

I don’t know. They’re adding 11 new kits for Slaanesh Mortals. That’s a pretty huge battletome with daemons added in.

[AoS 2 - Slaves to Darkness 2 Discussion]

Has anyone given the Idolators list a go? Thematically I think it’s pretty great but it doesn’t seem to be all the fantastic rules wise.

I doubt it's seraphon but could be for underworld. Looks like some xenos for 40k i'm afraid

Now, if it were Exodites For 40K wouldn’t be so disappointed.

Bit of a bump on this thread, but I took some pictures of my finished Warcry stuff tonight.

Those look great. I really like what you did with the Raptoryx wings, looks awesome.

 

im also curious to know how you did your Iron Golems armor. Is that warplock bronze?

[Chaos Warbands - Painting and Conversions]

Here are a few of my Iron Golems and some beasts. I’m in love with Warcry.

They should have saved the Sigvald reveal for the 25th! Nothing says Xmas like Sigvald!

Except maybe Sigvald being...micturated upon by a troll.

Just finished the Bonereapers novel by David Guymer.

It's nothing terribly complicated, it's largely a short siege novella, but if you're interested in the Ossiarch it's worthwhile.

That sounds really cool actually. I love the idea of the Ossiarchs, I just wish their models weren’t so goofy.

[Age of Sigmar RPG]

Is Soulbound canon? I don’t intend to play the RPG but I would love to have that special edition as a background resource.

[So how does everyone feel about Age of Sigmar?]

I like AoS and WHFB for different reasons. Lore and setting wise I liken Age of Sigmar to the Greek Myths and WHFB to a Homeric epic.

very nice looking, i'd be curious how u did the skin of the eel? also some stippling?

 

cheers 

Sure was. The stippling for this one was pretty extensive 

- Vallejo Sinai Grey
- Vallejo Desert Tan
- Vallejo Medium Sea Grey
- Pallid Wych Flesh
- 1:1 Nuln/Lahmian Medium
- 1:1 Agrax/Lahmian
- 1:1 Seraphim Sepia/Lahmian
And a final stipple of Model Masters Transparent Dust to help blend the colors. After that it’s highlight with Pallid Wych Fleah to taste.

For the other two I decided to do a simpler three paint recipe of RMSP Ghoul Skin, Moldy Skin, and Bloodless skin along with the wash stippling from above.

Awesome work, looking really great!!! How did you do the armor parts? Really like the look of them ☺️

Thanks. For the armor I started with a base coat of Rhinox hide followed by stippled layers of RMSP Jungle Moss, Highland Moss, and Pale Lichen. A quick wash of Agrax and then a final edge highlight of Pale Lichen

[AoS 2 - Idoneth Deepkin Discussion]

Finished up the first of my Morsarr.

Seems strange if that is the case, as are they not all models that were released for WFB and just transitioned over to AoS?

That’s true. But I’m sure that aging molds and low sales make it less likely to continue supporting them especially with some unspecified form of support coming for a new edition that may be in a different scale or different visual direction.

[Forgeworld Stripping AoS models]

This likely has to do with making room for the Old World and cleaning house of any minis that will not be supported or just have low sales.

Oh how I wish this was Warmaster scale terrain.

I've recently read Liber Necris and loved it. A bit too short, could have been developed much more. But I liked how it delves into details not found in other sources, like the Vashanesh figure (even if at times, it contradicts previous fluff ).

I now started Blood on the Reik, can't think of a better book to get into the Old World mood! Also got The Life of Sigmar on the waiting list. I think these purely background books publications by Black Library are their true gems, more than the novels. Fascinating stuff.

Regarding novels, I'd love if they re-published Genevieve The Vampire just because an omnibus is so much more convenient than tracking down 4 out of print books. Maybe at some point in the Warhammer Horror line it could fit.

Blood on the Reik is phenomenal. Lots of inspiration for conversions.

 

im pretty sure they did re-releases of all the Geneviève novels. Drachenfels, Silver Nailes, Geneviève Undead, and Beasts in Velvet all got reprinted with fantastic covers

[Warhammer - The Old World]

Has anyone been reading any Black Library books to get in the mood? I was reading the Brunner the Bounty hunter Omnibus when they made the announcement and just jumped into Drachenfels. 
 

i highly recommend both.

[Warhammer - The Old World]

I know this is an Age of Sigmar forum but is there any chance we’ll get an Ol World sub forum?
