  1. Mostly Citadel out of familiarity, but I'm gradually picking up more Monument Pro Acryl and Two Thin Coats stuff and I really like both ranges. Mostly Scale75 for metallics, but I might switch to TTC for those as well in the future. I'd like to get some of Army Painter's triads, too.

  2. @CrashStacy The Mirkwood spiders are nice models but they're huge, they're on 60mm bases. The spiders for WHQ are actually very small, the original minis were on 25mm bases. It's hard to get spiders that size these days.

    For the rats I'm using some old metal ones from the Skaven range, they used to come with a packmaster. I got mine for Mordheim originally. I have a few plastic rats of various sizes from different Skaven sprues as well, some of which are big enough to do the job (or can be paired up on 25mm rounds to make them a bit more imposing).

    How about a gnashtoof cavalry? My pour wallet... 😢

    I don't think it's a good idea to pour anything in your wallet. ;) 
    Is there a rumour of a cavalry unit? I haven't seen it. I'd like us to get one! (and it would make the "great" gnashtoof make more sense if there were regular size ones as a unit..)

  4. Yes, they did a short (and poorly advertised) AoS run of those models as "Spire of Dawn" in some territories before disappearing them back into oblivion. It's a shame, because that set is the only place the skaven mortar has ever existed, the clanrats are pretty nice, and the engineer is very good for a starter set mini of his era. If TOW means they want people to start stacking clanrats into 40-strong rectangles again, bringing back those sprues would make it a lot easier.

  5. The temple range from Gamer's Grass will get you ruined flagstones like this in every size, but you'd need to add your own roots and leaves to them. Leaves are pretty simple to make, so this wouldn't be too taxing if you did them in batches.

    Just looked at sprue again on Gdubs site, i didn't see any drums on the Hobs sprue. 

    Can someone who has it confirm?

    There's a drum and a horn, yes. They only have pictures of two of the three hobgrot sprues on the website, for some reason.

  7. BoC and S2D currently have too many units between them to share a book, I think. I'd rather see a refreshed and expanded BoC line with coalition rules allowing them to work with Slaves to Darkness. If they were crammed into the same book, I'd expect to see a lot of old Beasts stuff disappear.

  8. Anything with the "Leader" battlefield role, unless I'm missing something.

    If your general has the right W stat to qualify, there's no reason you couldn't have that model take up a subcommander slot in a core battalion. It's a little odd thematically, but it seems fine rules-wise.

    We need a hero to paint three subfactions in the same tone, tbh

    Then we can truly see the overall effect, the official showcase just doesn’t work.

    I'm on it, but since I'm the slowest hobbyist alive you might have to wait a few years. ;)

    I do think brutes and gutrippas will look great in variations the same colour scheme, though.

  10. The former I think. He still doesn't have the relevant keywords to use the allegiance abilities himself, he just doesn't disrupt your allegiance. Archaon has the same rule so he can be taken in a Blades of Khorne or Maggotkin army (etc) without having to be an ally. Neither Ironjawz nor Kragnos got much out of the new FAQs.

  11. New models are incredible, even better than I was expecting. Very surprised by multipart man-skewers. The sludgeraker is my new favourite Warhammer monster.

    The AoS books going hardback-only with just the rules in the app, though... that sucks a lot.

    Honestly, at this point, I would look for images and design ideas for a 3D printer and just make your own. (.stl). Any originals, you’ll have to pay out the butt for.

    I would if I had access to a 3D printer, but I don't unfortunately.

    Anyway, new spiders from Spellcrow: https://www.spellcrow.com/forest-spider-pre-order-p-971.html

    These look good and they're the ideal size for WHQ 95. Actually obtaining them could be awkward, but I'll keep an eye out.
