I just found this on Reddit:

People, just get a chatroom. This is far beyind the original scope of the thread for quite a while now.

Midwinter Minis has a tutorial on sparkly bits for Eldar wraith things using glitter. Quite shiny. Well, we can't truly know until we see it. GW has done a few creative interpretations. Apart from the obvious two reasons why not*, it wouldn't be too outlandish for them. We have skeletons with bulges in their pants and muscles, for instance. * A) IP concerns * B) Just enough knowledge of their customers not to do this.

You're all about sparkles, dubious relations with teenage girls and 100 year high school careers then?

Well, I'd hazard to guess, it bleaches them.

If you don't like the smell of bleach, paint thinner could also work, or white spirit. (don't actually do the latter, it will warp GW plastic) (EDIT: Don't do the former either, but especially not the latter)

Teclis puts out a 5+ fnp bubble, and can, assuming the warscroll means what it states, drop some 20d3 mortal wounds on average per round in very specific builds. Up to 40-ish mw's on average if you really go for it. If I assemble an army, it is either TE or KO. Both of which can take him out if the L player isn't really careful, or at least make the mw output a lot smaller by shrinking the aura.

No idea, but the game gets a lot harder if Teclis can't be removed before he bubbles everything and starts blasting mortal wounds simply by casting cogs or similar. Lumineth is not a vs new player friendly army.

And something like insectoid eyes, lizard-like crest (the metal bits at the ears also fit there), beastman-like horns, kurnothi like antlers, a crescent moon, and even a tattoo onto the bone. No idea what the symbol behind it means. There's a lot in there.

I usually don't look at the site and start painting, and not a lot of my stuff came in boxes with art on them.

If you have friends you're seeing regularely anyway, that might be a good start. I started playing Frostgrave and Rangers with some people quite close to me and I don't see a reason why AoS could not work the same way, setting up a table isn't that much work (depending on your sense of disbelief), and you'll get a few games in.

The solution, of course, is not to touch each other's models, and playing outside. Preferably when it's windy and rainy, so it's well ventilated and to clean everything you only need to spray soap over the battlefield. Scotland seems perfect for this.

The issue is, again, in phrasing. It would be clear if it stated "Spells or endless spells cast by enemy wizards" "Endless spells, or spells cast by enemy wizards" "Endless spells controlled by enemy wizards or spells cast by enemy wizards" The current wording falls in the middle of the first two, nudging towards the second. The intended wording, in my opinion, is the third.

From the Gotrek and Mortal Wounds discussion, a lot of the wording needs to be better. If I made an instruction that has different functions with naming as similar as the whole damage/wound mess, I'd have very angry users. English has a lot of different words, use them, and have descriptions match the effect (like, mortal wounds, which need not be mortal at all). Making wording clearer would help a lot. I would also like less rules that affect an opponent paywalled in battletomes, but that's not the direction GW seems to be taking.

Ah, nice that a fix was placed. I'd state it would be "controlled by enemy wizard". Also, note that the endless spell in a bottle would not trigger with this wording, as it's not cast by a wizard.

Correct, he can't do that in GA Order, that's just needed to get a lot of aether wings to fuel the aura mw engine, a Frost phoenix can put him in a -1 to hit aura though. (Short summary: cast 4 endless spells that cover the area of your aura, have every unit roll to deal d3 mw to enemies, that's all. Be glad the Hounds just got dumped, that would be about 20d3 mw extra. Possible spells: Cogs, Horrorghast, Sousnare shackles, shards of Valaghar, even the Burning Head).

Yes, it would be a score for books. It would also push many people out of AoS, because their faction was removed. I'd say the books matter less than the people. I don't know a lot about 40K. You might be correct. Still a missed opportunity for a line refresh. As said, I am not well versed in the lore, but in AoS, for non-seraphon, non-stormcast order and destruction, dead is dead, and even stormcast souls could be taken. They can get destroyed, it's just harder.

If you're not facing a GA Order Teclis with lots of cheap units and area Endless spells to deliver 40d3 MW per turn (his aura doesn't state the endless spells need to be controlled by enemies), I'd argue the Cathaller needs to die first. I really hate that warscroll. Widening the difference between having BS immunity and not, and killing through everyone's favourite mechanic, battleshock.

I think they are gone, the new realm warscroll gives a spell (the same as the battlemages have, it seems). I do not have the GHB, however, so don't take too much stock of my words.

I think, in AoS, at one point the whole of Cities will get squatted in lore, but that's more because GW doesn't like it and would get rid of the faction. Probably. That would make books consequential, but it's a business decision with a few books as additional income. Contrary, when planning the fall of Cadia, it would be an excellent timing to replace the Cadian sets with others. The Cadians already made would be the guards in service off planet, but slowly, they would stop being the majority. That would give an excellent in-lore reason to update an aging line. They didn't. They didn't even change the name of the unit. As for named characters, it was my understnding that they only very rarely truly are in danger. Most are just miraculously victorious or saved.

With Lumineth, you need to kill Teclis in the first round, before his spell is up.

Yes. There's monotheistic stuff (a faction governed by one god) dripping all over the setting (two exceptions in Chaos, and the Kharadron), and I don't like the smell of that sauce.

When Cadia fell, no faction was gone, and Cadians are still quite numerous in the store (8 sets starting with that name). Now I don't know what's right. I hate removal of warscrolls, but I also really can't care about a book that's written as high stakes, when the result either doesn't matter or is predetermined so as to not upset existing factions.

Teclis and Cathaller both need to die asap.

Noted. My reply was a bit middle of the night. Sarcasm detectors lose their accuracy past 3:00 AM. As an aside, I am the sort of person that, when reading that in heaven "Seven suns shine, each as brightly as seven suns" wants to know the power of the holy airconditioning, starts imagining how that must feel with a migraine, and looks up whether hell or heaven is hotter (barring divine cooling).
