  1. I am a very slow painter as i enjoy the models but not painting and still haven't painted a majority of khorne units from 2016. By the time i manage to paint a whole army to finally use it happily at the table, GW has hammered it to the ground or the newest shiny stuff just outclasses it. Games Workshop's approach has kept me from playing at any tournaments and i only play kitchen table games at home now. If that was one of the reasons that WFB died, i can see why
  2. I enjoy reading this thread and it is the first one i check daily when i browse the forums. I don't mind people chitchatting as the thread would be a wasteland without it and love reading peoples' thoughts and opinions between rumors. Since this is the most active thread in tga i bet that the majority of people share my thinking and like the chitchatting. As The Jabber Tzeentch said you can tag him to update the first post with any relevant rumors, so people who don't like to read the extra conversations can just check the first post each time and let the rest of us enjoy this beautiful mess of a thread in peace .
  3. Most likely 60x35mm Oval Bases. They also had these bases suggested for Flesh hounds in the first "Designer's Commentary on Base Sizes" pdf that they released in Summer and people emailed them about it and they later changed the suggested size to 50mm round for consistency.
  4. The one standing on th rock looks a lot like it could be a unit leader which the current warscroll doesn't have. Curious to see if they change them as well. Bummed that they are changing the bases again, i have mine on 50mm and they are metal, i won't only have to rebase them, but repaint the lower halves as well since paint will chip away during rebasing and my backlog is tremendous already as it is ?
  5. Wonder what the Bloodletter Herald might be. We have the Herald on foot, the herald on Bloodthrone (? poor warscroll) and the Herad on Juggernaught. What if he is mounted on a big Flesh Hound to accompany the rumored plastic flesh hounds.
  6. The rider Lord on the top is too hideous for a khorne muscle bound slaughterer. I would prefer a helmeted head (which they should offer by default as an additional option for this price) than a centrepiece Khorne Lord that looks like he came out of a "Wrong Turn/The Hills have eyes" movie.
  7. Marauders are ok if you swap all their old goofy heads with heads from the Marauder Horsemen kit. They should sell a pack of heads for updating them to this century. Can't wait long enough for the Darkoath, very excited to see what unique twist they come up with for their faction, from cavalry to monsters.
  8. Oh ok, thanks! I hoped it was from the future Darkoath warband so that would hint to it being released this year instead of the assumed February 2019 (if they relase them like they did with Shadespire warbands).
  9. Do we know where the Darkoath Nighvault card was previewed? Is it from the upcoming warband or the core set?
  10. I would be fine seeing a mixed green soup Battletome for Greenskinz if they got the Beasts of Chaos treatment. I know Ironjawz have their own lore differentiating them from the classic greenskinz and are most likely the future of the Orcs for Age of Sigmar but i could see them fighting alongside Greenskinz in a great Waagh war. Thunderscorn, Brayherds and Warherds now all get their own mini bonuses inside a Beast of Chaos army and you can mix them without handicapping yourself or relying on allies like in the past, so a green soup tome could work well for the time being.
  11. I was hoping to have a little taste of Darkoath earlier than February, oh well then ?
  12. I hope for Darkoath as well, or Everhosen. I need an Age of Sigmar Chaos Dragon in my life!!!
  13. @RexHavoc Thanks, i have a physical copy of the first general's handbook. I plan to update Gorthor the Beastlord's warcsroll with the current keywords to use him in casual games with friends I was mostly wondering about some characters that received significant changes or improvements to their warscroll in the Legends pdf compared to the first Compendium pdfs and would require different point values than the ones in GH 2016 like Malekith and other named characters.
  14. @Overread If someone plays Shadespire and already has the models, i absolutely agree. But as a consumer currently playing Age of Sigmar, there is no reason to pay 22.5 euros for 5 Bloodreavers (Garrek's Reavers) with fixed poses when i can pay 46 euros for 20 Bloodreavers with full command, extra bits and customization options. If the warscrolls were more thought out to be either an upgrade to an existing unit of Bloodreavers or had a unique hero warscroll like they do with Nightvault, i would surely pick it up and very likely branch out to try the Underworlds game as well. Not saying the warscrolls should be an auto-include for Age of Sigmar competitive games, just useful or unique enough to help get AoS players interested in them and potentially delve into the board game as well. They seem to have taken that into account with Nightvault and hopefully it will help increase sales even more and lead to us getting even more releases and support for that game.
  15. Agreed! In addition to that, inho it didn't help that the majority of Shadespire warbands did not translate well into Age of Sigmar when they were given warscrolls. I didn't delve into Shadespire because the khorne warbands ,which interested me, felt subpar to their equivalents of Bloodwarriors and Bloodreavers when they got warscrolls and points. It appears they are taking a different approach this year, by having one leader in each warband be a hero with a unique warscroll, which i like so far.
  16. Anyones knows if there are any fan-made point value tables made for the Warhammer Legends pdfs? I searched google but couldn't find anything.
  17. Indeed these were the two first spoiled. Do we know how spread the Nightvault releases will be? Is it going to be 2 warbands every 1-2 months like with Shadespire?
  18. Do the Nightvault releases come in waves of 2 warbands each time? I am sure if this is the case the first 2 are the Tzeentch and Grot warbands that were shown off first, but i am looking forward to the Darkoath warband as their warscrolls for AoS might have hints of what we will see in a future full faction release.
  19. I am trying to avoid another heavy hordes army as i already have Khorne with Bloodletters and Bloodreavers, Plaguebearers in Nurgle and hundreds of goats in Beasts of Chaos and many units of these armies are still unpainted ? I do like the daemonettes but not sure yet if i will have the strength to paint so many or the space to store 30s of them so i am thinking on starting with mortals and perhaps expand with some daemons when Wrath and Rupture is released. Here is hoping they release some elite Slaanesh Chosen like Skullreapers/Blightkings when the narrative focus switches to the Lord of Excess.
  20. What are people's thoughts on a Slaanesh mortal army (with Slaves to Darkness to cover the slots), is it feasible? How useful are Hellstriders?
  21. Nice to see less warscrolls with degrading monster profiles, less things to keep track of while playing. Do we know if the Shaggoth gets the same treatment?
  22. I did like most of the changes in today's preview and look forward to finally start painting my Shaggoth and beasts. **Tin foil hat comment: Anyone thinks that they are streaming a "Beasts vs Beasts" game on Warhammer TV instead of a "Beasts vs Death/Order etc." to have a beast army win in any case and keep that hype going? ?
  23. That teasing with the "Gift of Morghur" ability.. Boy what would i give for a huge "ascended" Morghur plastic kit , greater daemon style!!
  24. I am all up for conversions but i don't see how i could possibly convert this metal beauty to hold two smaller axes ? But i agree, it is the profile itself that is underwhelming, i had hoped for his ability to be upgraded in a similar way to an Aspiring Deathbringer or the old compendium Gorthor, in that you could trigger it each turn without having to kill things.
  25. Indeed, and they removed the Shield and Great Axe options from his profile so no 3+ save to stick in combar for longer or -2 rend to get that damage through. I dislike the new trend of only having weapon options for the current miniature being sold. Warhammer is and has been a hobby about conversions and people have been embracing this for decades. Now anyone that has older Beastlords with great axes or Beastlords converted with shields can't use them in WYSIWYG games.
