Panzer

Well for those Panzer is short for Panzerkampfwagen which is translated to "armoured fighting vehicle". Most other german tanks are named after animals though.

Haha I was wondering whether non-germans would think Panther and Panzer are connected. To enlighten you, no they are not. Panther in german is Panther/Panter. Panzer is tank/shell/armour.

Too bad the only things I actually care for from the box I could get cheaper when buying separately.

I hope you realise yourself how ridiculous it is to talk about monetary tax in this hobby.

Keep painting. That way I can enjoy my colour scheme by proxy until I get to mine.

Yeah, though it was only 8 of those.

I could never play a horde army. 😅

My 7e 2000 points Tomb Kings had only 55 models, just like my 2000 points OBR list now.

Perhaps, but it also shows, in case anyone was doubting it, that just giving it points doesn't automatically make things better. Personally I rather have people use free faction terrain that's a bit too strong than not using any faction terrain at all. At least it can't be spammed like other too strong units.

Please no. I love that the faction terrain is free in AoS. You never see any in 40k because it's just not worth it compared to buying more units. GW just needs to balance them properly.

I honestly would miss the WHFB setting much less if GW had ported every army to AoS. Tomb Kings and Bretons being the obvious ones but also classic elves and dwarfs instead of JUST modern twists on them (and now Cities of Sigmar). The loss of rank&file would still suck since I really enjoyed that kind of gameplay, but the AoS rules have their own set of advantages so I could live with that.

Ironically Petrifex Elite plays a lot like I remember Warriors of Chaos back in 7e WHFB with their super tough infantry unlike anything before (except for some Dwarf units and later Saurus Warriors), strong artillery (okay Warriors of Chaos mainly got it via magic) and tough cavalry. Just that they add healing to it and don't have super killy characters. Too bad AoS doesn't really have counterplay options like catching a super tough infantry block in the flank and such (catching infantry in the flank gave bonuses to the melee result, denied enemy bonuses from ranks to the melee result and denied the bonus point of armour for wielding handweapon+shield, plus the enemy had less models to attack back with).

Oh ****** that's my colour scheme except for the bones which will be a bit more white-ish. Damn you!

Except that at this point you aren't fighting a 130p unit with your 400p unit anymore. You are fighting a 130p unit that gets supported by other units that combined cost a lot more than 400p.

That hasn't been the case for a long time now. GW plastic is just as detailed as FW resin, some of the FW products are plastic as well and finally the main reason for resin was that it doesn't require to sell as many models to pay for the moulds as it would be the case with plastic miniatures.
