    What about conversions? Conversions can help with fluff while also helping with building a strong army if its something your interested in. My current army is skaven and I'm loving it there's a loose eshin/skryre theme without playing eshin only, I could quite easily add a stronger unit like stormvermin (not the best unit but works for an example) by converting them a bit into "eshin triads" which in fluff are their version of elite but there's no model for them, PLaguemonks painted in black robes and maybe slight changes wouldn't look out of place at all, grey seer? Eshin sorcerer. I'm no expert on most aos armies but surely there's room in alot to do fluffy conversions to blend in units that wouldn't fit in with lore etc

    How did they do vs other shooting/ranged armies? They are a cool unit and I had a alternative model in mind but I play vs alot of spell and shooting forces, just assumed they'd get sniped easily without investing into the bridge spell that was mentioned earlier

    Sorry double post

    I'm trying to convert up Veskit from mordheim into a more over the top AOS style and would like him to try live up to his old reputation. I know deathmasters aren't very good but to make one even slightly threatening which do people recommend between sword of judgement (d6 mw on 6 vs heros) and dimensional blade (-3 ap), ones more consistent but still only 1 damage, casual games obviously not tournament level.

    Don't think they are short but not aslong as the admech sniper people often use, been awhile since I played against necrons Was just curious really should look ace either way in my opinion 👍

    I was thinking of using deathmark rifles too be very interested to see how yours turn out, are you planning to extend them at all to make them longer?

    Has my first game today 4 player free for all, My list Arch warlock, 2xstormfiends, 2xdoomwheel Kharadron Khemist, balloon hero, frigate, 10 thunderers, 2xarkanaut Slaanesh Keeper of secrets, mask, harp lady, 3xdaemonettes Seraphon starborn Slaan, sunblood, asroloth bearer, 2xsaurus, bastilodon Turn 1 I went first decided to pop shot slaanesh and sent in both doomwheels (one wiffed) ended up killing 1 almost 2 daemonette units and wounding harp lady. Seraphon moved towards kharadron not much really happened. Kharadron dealt alot of damage in return to seraphon. Slaanesh moved towards me (whelp) lost both wheels. Turn 2 Kharadron went first and wrecked the seraphon. Slaanesh went second (was really needing to go before them to shoot his keeper) summoned in some hellstriders? Chicken riders 😂 thankfully he wiffed big time with the keeper, I scurried away the warlock from the mask and the stormfiends all survived in combat leaving the keeper on 1 wound! Seraphon went next trying in vain to damage kharadron (he put everything into the frigate that just kept healing) and was left with just a bastilodon in the end while I killed the mask and keeper losing a single fiend. Skaven turn i moved the fiends forward towards slaanesh deployment to try kill his last hero so he couldn't use all his summon points, failed mmwp but still blasted him leaving 3 hellstriders, 5 daemonettes and no heros failed the charges otherwise would have wiped the hellstriders. Had to call the game there due to late start but it was really fun! I love this army even though I think the dorfs would have won since seraphon literally did nothing to them. The doomwheels did OK actually but I think the fulminator artefact could have been better used on something else like vigordust injector it was great turn 1 but then out of range maybe I played it wrong? All in all really happy how the army performed stormfiends are just brutal. Shame I forgot pictures was very chaotic

    WIP on an warlock engineer, trying to do some greenstuff smoke/smog from out of the exhausts
  9. Gypsy_Pistolero
    Cheers for the explanation, I'm definitely investing in shooting just curious really about things a bit outside of the usual stuff like monks 😅
  10. Gypsy_Pistolero
    Do gutter runners fall under "damage dealers"? Their warscroll doesn't look bad to my untrained eyes especially if getting reroll wounds from deciever/eshin bonus
  11. Gypsy_Pistolero
    Excellent! Should save on the painting time and be cool on the table 😁
  12. Gypsy_Pistolero
    What's everyone's thoughts on msu stormvermin for battleline tax? Possibly viable? Not tournament level or anything but strong ish casual if that's a thing. Currently building pure skryre but the long term plan is to mix eshin and skryre so I need a universal battleline however, really not too keen on the idea of 60 clanrats and stormvermin are the same cost for 3x10
  13. Gypsy_Pistolero
    Thank you 😁 any tips on how to use them effectively? Very rare Iv seen one used at all and when it has its just suicided straight into something without doing much at all

    Got my first game with skaven coming up in a couple weeks, excited not played skaven since mordheim at school! It's a 4 player free for all 1000 points each so should be amazingly chaotic. 😂 My list is, Arch-Warlock (160) - General - Command Trait: Deranged Inventor - Artefact: Vial of the Fulminator - Lore of Warpvolt Galvanism: More-more-more Warp Power! 3 x Stormfiends (260) - 1x Windlaunchers - 1x Ratling Cannons - 1x Doomflayer Gauntlets 3 x Stormfiends (260) - 1x Windlaunchers - 1x Ratling Cannons - 1x Doomflayer Gauntlets 1 x Doomwheel (160) 1 x Doomwheel (160) Total: 1000 / 1000 Will be playing against slaanesh and seraphon that I've never played against as well as my mates kharadron which after their reboot destroyed my gloomspite so looking scary, should be fun 😁
  15. Gypsy_Pistolero
    Seems like the perfect time to start the kharadron army Iv always wanted 😂 Thinking 2 start collecting boxes if I convert the endrinmaster to the new hero for, Flying endrinmaster 2x3 skywardens battleline 10 thunderers 2x gunhaulers 960 points apparently if right
  16. Gypsy_Pistolero
    Fair enough, I didn't know that I'm fairly new to gaming, dabbled in 40k back at school but fantasy always put me off sounded very confusing until age of sigmar. If I were to suggest a rule system for it I'd probably go the route of transports in 40k, so the riders weapons couldn't be used while mounted except for ranged attacks/abilities, then when the mount dies roll a dice on a 1 he's crushed under his beast, otherwise you get a foot hero. Gives a trade off of saving a hero for late game where assets may be short and protection from sniping (kinda lol we all know they can be nuked 😂) with the inherit risk of him dying too without much use I just like it for theatrics, I quite like the current system I love my sneaky little loonboss on foot as well as his big ol troggboss bodyguard who's totally not the real general no matter what lies have been said! 😂
  17. Gypsy_Pistolero
    Never going to happen but Iv always thought it would be cool if heros could dismount or their mounts could be killed separately like the witch King in LOTR, would be broken as hell but so awesome 😂 Imagine bringing down a black dragon then having the dreadlord striding out from the crash to keep going like a boss haha
  18. Gypsy_Pistolero
    From what I've read in the cities group arlielle can't ambush because of the wholly within 6" of the board edge and her base is too big, unless house ruling to let her hang off the edge
  19. Gypsy_Pistolero
    Thanks for the feedback, it's very helpful I'm quite inexperienced with aos especially with positioning so will definitely take your advice. The aura of glory to be honest was just incase really, figured I'd be using warscroll spells more but will change it for the cp spell Volley gun over rockets is mainly just because I prefer the model lol but also cheaper and can still fire if enemies are close
  20. Gypsy_Pistolero
    So with the info from above how does this look for a list? I play relatively casual, never competitive but some lists can get quite strong like slaanesh 😂 not played them yet Allegiance: Cities of Sigmar- City: Tempest's EyeLeadersCogsmith (60)- Artefact: Seerstone AmuletFreeguild General on Griffon (320)- Shield & GreathammerRunelord (90)- General- Trait: Hawk-eyedSorceress (90)- Spell: Lore of Eagles - Strike of Eagles (Tempest's Eye Wizard)Celestial Hurricanum With Celestial Battlemage (280)- Artefact: Patrician's Helm- Spell: Lore of Eagles - Aura of Glory (Tempest's Eye Wizard)Battleline20 x Darkshards (200)20 x Irondrakes (300)5 x Freeguild Pistoliers (100)5 x Freeguild Pistoliers (100)5 x Freeguild Pistoliers (100)War MachinesHelblaster Volley Gun (120)Helblaster Volley Gun (120)BattalionsAetherguard Windrunners (120)Total: 2000 / 2000Extra Command Points: 1Allies: 0 / 400Wounds: 123 Tried to spread out the importance of each character because I play against kharadron alot and don't want to be hero sniped
  21. Gypsy_Pistolero
    Thanks for the write up, suppose I'll wait and see how my list plays at 1k and see which would fit best
  22. Gypsy_Pistolero
    Is there a consensus on pistoliers vs out riders? Initially I thought pistoliers for the battalion because rule of cool but heard outriders out class them
  23. Gypsy_Pistolero
    Looking at starting a dwarf focused city army was wondering peoples opinions of 2 possible starting lists, Allegiance: Cities of Sigmar- City: Greywater FastnessLeadersLord-Ordinator (140)Cogsmith (60)- General- Trait: DrillmasterRunelord (90)Battleline10 x Irondrakes (150)10 x Irondrakes (150)Units10 x Hammerers (140)War MachinesHelblaster Volley Gun (120)Helblaster Volley Gun (120)Total: 970 / 1000Extra Command Points: 0Allies: 0 / 200Wounds: 59 List 2 is pretty much the same except making the rune lord the general and dropping a unit of drakes and the Lord ordinator for a celestial hurricanum with mage
