    Mortal Realms: The End Times? Then Sigmar and the last of his followers float back in time, founding an Empire in the Old World. Circular history. 😄

    Am I the only one who finds those Ogors a bit too... slim?

    To be fair, I recently looked into multiple other miniature lines. 7 Euro is quite standard for a single human-sized 28mm in a roughly comparable quality. Maybe there should be a discount for boxes of 10, but at least the old, not easy to build boxes had lots of neat spare parts that were well worth it. Still, I think 30-35€ for 10 basic infantry, or maybe 15-20 for a small hero I really want is about the maximum I’d pay without feeling ripped off.

    I think prices do lift the bar of the point of entry. If I lived in Australia, I would never have bought my first GW miniature box just out of curiosity. It also may have an effect in the decision to get into a second army. That’s the point where I am now.

    Well, they will come and we have been given some clear views as to which direction their design will go. I, for one, am very interested. 😃 Some correlations could be interesting: Are there people that are interested in only one GA/fantasy race/whatever? If, for example, you like Lumineth, is it more likely to like everything elven? Or are the choices of a person all over the place?
  6. Beastmaster
    Quite unexpected. Slaves, Gitz, Cities, Lumineth, Kharadron. Some of the oldest and some of the latest. Big and small collections. Traditional and very modern design. Seems GW would be well advised to carry on going in a wide range of directions.

    Sorting out the ones with a 14+ from a roll with 60 d20 doesn’t sound like fun either. D20 have small faces and are quite round and rolly. Maybe even faster to roll and sort 60 d6 two times.

    It’s really quite interesting, now that I think about it. The 4 daemon forces all have some absolutely stunning models in my eyes, but they never spoke to me as an army to collect, paint or play. Dunno why.
  9. Beastmaster
    I chose the ones that interest me so much that I considered and still consider collecting them at some point. Regardless if I own nothing of them yet (Idoneth), just a few models (Skaven, Cities, Undead) or a whole army (Mawtribes) right now.

    Haelfliungs?
  11. Beastmaster
    Too gaunt for an Ogor face, if you ask me. I’d say a Gargant‘s head.

    Always have some cheap, rough or already out of form brushes handy for things like mixing paint, applying large areas of basecoat, shaders, drybrushing or putting snow etc on bases. These are all very destructive tasks. Save your good brushes for detail work. If I destroy a brush (or any tool really), it’s often because I got carried away and didn’t switch to the proper tool in time.

    Maybe ask where the player sorts himself into the categories of tournament player/collector/etc? I have the feeling that most people know pretty well where they fit. You could directly see if they prefer different armies.
  14. Beastmaster
    Yea, still sad that the old elf/treeman uneasy alliance vanished. Gave them a certain dynamic and conflict potential within the alliance.

    All the german online Shops seem to have problems with the deliveries from GW at the moment. Many boxes are out of stock. They have banners which say that it’s due to Brexit and COVID-19.
  16. Beastmaster
    One of the bitzshops has new bitz again! Seems they continue. 😃
  17. Beastmaster
    Do you really need the starter set for Warcry? Basic rules, a card pack and one or two unit boxes, plus some stuff to clatter the table with should suffice to play, right?
  18. Beastmaster
    Yhetees can’t compete at the moment IMO. They don’t get the hungry/eating mechanic, they are on large bases and their 6+ save is only offset with frost aura against melee weapons. Also no trampling charge and no Might makes Right. I’d stick with gluttons at the moment. Maybe they’ll get a buff when they finally get new miniatures.
  19. Beastmaster
    Yay! Those new vampires and skeletons just ooze the good old Grimdark/Oldworld feeling. Reminds me of what brought me to Warhammer in the first place. 😃
  20. Beastmaster
    I bought my first box of GW minis because of the Mordheim PC game. Now I have a 2000 p army. It can happen.
  21. Beastmaster
    I’d hate it to discuss the details of which rules to use before every game, and to have to remember them during the game. It’s the opposite of beginner friendly.
  22. Beastmaster
    Current Mawtribes line consists of 100% Ogre Kingdoms units. No need to reinvent the wheel.
  23. Beastmaster
    I’m actually quite chilled about ToW at the moment. I see it just as a nice potential source for alternative models. If they are in 28ish mm and I like one or the other, I’ll consider where and if I could use them for some project (Wfrp, Mordheim, AoS, whatever). If the answer is no, it doesn’t take anything away from the hobby as it is now. Just happy that the Old World lives on in many ways.
  24. Beastmaster
    You’re right, Beastmen worked better in the old world. Dark forests in which animal people celebrate bloody rituals were pretty much a defining feature of the Empire. I also saw them as a dark mirror to the (already quite dark) Wood Elves. Maybe Beastmen will have a comeback as an Oldworld force?
  25. Beastmaster
    Personal interest in the army may play into that. 😅 But for what it’s worth, I think Skaven are in dire need to have at least their metal replaced.
