    Interestingly this sort of upends the traditional wisdom of having the rusty spears be large units. They will benefit less from strength in numbers but will also keep their 3" longer in small units, so probably are suited to 20's, whereas  rusty blades have no drawbacks in large units until they drop below 20 strong.

    Yeah I just finished building my first 20 clanrats with spears. Regret the decision now haha

    All of what you want does actually happen in AOS books...

    Stormcast worship gods/deities that are not Sigmar and he's fine with it. They have inter-host rivalries because some Stormhosts view mortals badly (among other things). They disagree with Sigmar and don't get killed or exiled for it. They can visit their mortal families (if still alive) and are told to record what memories they remember. They have the full range of human emotions if they haven't been reforged too many times. 

    Please read beyond "posterboys are Sigmarines." You do not need a fantasy HH to have internal conflict or make Stormcast interesting.

    Is there any stories you would recommend? I'll be honest other than Gotreks side I only read the books that have stuff to do with the armies I'm currently painting/collecting. I did enjoy the stormcast in Dominion though.

    I think the only side of Aos story I don't like (other than there isn't enough sources of it) is the stormcast side of it. WHF empire were just so much more interesting to me. Stormcast need something interesting to happen so they aren't just loyal god boys, like some internal conflict or something.

    Firstly,

    i doubt that gw is reducing our range by much more.

    if they wanted to throw out everything that was made of meta resin or looked bad, they would have to remove almost everything.

    we would loose:

    clan moulder:

    master moulder, packmasters, rat ogres, giant rats

    Clan eshin:

    night/gutter runners.

    clan skryre:

    skryre acolytes,

    Arch warlock, warlock engineer, all weapon teams.

    clan pestilence,

    plague monks, censer bearers, plague priest on foot.

     

     

    at this point we would be an army

    that has basically Nothing left.

    I doubt this will happen, unless the person who was hired by gw to talk about skaven wasn’t informed correctly and/or was telling a lie when he said he wanted to start an eshin army.

    if every

    thing is gone that wouldn’t be possible.

     

    as for the skaven in total,

    it is true that many of us are probably long time skaven fans, yet in my area rhere have been about 6 person starting a skaven army.

    and I have met a lot more people that would actually like starting them yet are disgusted of the monkey-things the skaven have in their range.

    a range refresh could actually get gw more people into skaven then probably stormcast could have ever done.

    truly skaven are the master race, if gw would just do their job correctly.

    This exactly, I was one of them. I started AOS about 3 years ago and skaven were my first choice but the models just put me off completely. But with 3D printing it doesn't matter now. That being said if GW did update any of the sculpts I'll be 3D printing I'd still buy them, but as it stands I ain't paying the current prices for dog ****** models when I can pay less than half for quality models ripped from my favourite game Total Warhammer.

    He has been moved to the "Warhammer Legends" section but he is still in the app.

    Yeah true, I play matched though so can't use it :P do we know why it was moved? Other than Thanquol there isn't a mounted hero on monster so seems weird.

    He's creepy as hell! What can he count as in game? Just Thanquol? I noticed the clawlord on broodmother isn't a thing on the app anymore :(

    That is perfect!

    if those come out great I might need to get a luck at the night/gutter/ death runner files

    Annoyingly (I say this as lightly as possible as he's done the others for free) the eshin units are some of the only units he hasn't done :(

    I plan on using the Ravenous Hordes prints though. They do have there own unique ratmen look to them however they are covered enough with wraps that's it's not noticeable, so they should fit in.

    There are no words I could use to describe this marvelous looking paintjob.

    ps: is that a 3d print?

    Gee thanks! 

     

    Yeah its by a guy known as EmanG he's basically done every single skaven unit from total warhammer 2 and modelled them pretty much perfectly. The files are completely free to use, I luckily have a guy who has a printer in my group, he printed it for me 

     

    Skaven are my favourite race in the setting but the models put me off, but after finding EmanGs treasure trove I've just jumped right in! Got a unit of 20 total warhammer stormvermin lined up next.

    yeah was thinking that as well. I do wonder however, can Uniques take enhancements? since I think it said in there that it will be treated as such..

    I think it counts as a spell enhancement, which named characters do get right? Also that with the rogue idol (idiot amount of points though) would be +2 :P

    I think being reliant on a very expensive, very fragile, middling range shooting unit with equally fragile expensive support pieces is a big pain point with the army. It's the exact sort of list that the best armies in the game right now rip through like tissue paper. And any build other than boltboyz doesn't really seem to get there, it just doesn't have sufficiently strong options for the combat phase to compete with the top table bruisers. Everything's a little too soft offensively, a little too fragile, a little too expensive.

    This may change going forward if more 3.0 books turn out to be mostly blanket nerfs lol

    Dunno about that :P Idoneth look absolutely insane with their 3.0 book :o

    Sounds like a cool idea, what was the rest if your list like? The teleporting monster is awesome but a little pricey for me, but I'm curious.

    At 180 points the spider is pretty cheap imo. And I've wanted to paint one for sooooo long so with the price drop it felt right 😛

    I played some games last week using a skitterstrand ally. The arachnaroks suck in general but they are damn fine looking models. The rules for them may suck but it still makes your opponent think twice leaving a space in there backline for a spooky spider to crawl out of a realmgate. I found her very helpful for stealing objectives which would have been otherwise impossible for me to grab.
