[I have a Knight-Incantor, the book, and $200. What do I buy?]

How does something like this look? I like the look of the old Swordmasters of Hoeth minis, and may have just snagged two units of the plastics to represent Black Guard or Phoenix Warriors. Obviously going up to 2000pts from this I would add in the Hallowheart Battalion, etc. Thinking about converting the Hurricanum to be more....Arcane looking...thinking the Chained Floaty Rock from the Shattered Dominion set as a focal point and call back to the City's sigil.

 

 

[AoS 2 - Living City Discussion]

Has anyone used Skaeth's Wild Hunt in a Living City list? For reference:

I'm new to AoS so it may be hot garbage, but I love the models, especially Skaeth. It's a shame Nomad Princes can't have a mount, would be such a cool general.

The start collecting  for whatever city you fancy is definitely a good way to go, it gets you a decent amount of models for a really good price. Also, for your son, Seraphon is getting a new battletome within the next couple of weeks, so I would wait to see what changes before purchasing any models.

Awesome! good to know on the Seraphon front! Thank you for your reply.

For Cities, start out with a Celestial Hurricanum.

After that, it depends what you want to do. One of my favourites is the General on Griffin, which also gives you a regular General and battlemage, and incidentally is a real good sculpt.

If you want grimdark, try Sorceresses and Coven infantry. She'll sacrifice lots of them every game (for the greater good, of course).

If you like dwarves, get the Greywater Fastness SC.

I'm not sure the Firestorm boxes are still worth it at that price.

Which city strikes your fancy?

I like them all in their own way, but Anvilguard and Tempest's Eye are probably my favorite.

Howdy all! First post about my first foray int AoS! I played a little bit of 40k (Space Marines, natch) but I have always looked at WHF and AoS  lovingly from afar. My step-son wants dinosaurs, so I will be getting him some Seraphon, but that is not what this thread is about. No, this thread is about the "normies" we all know and love: Cities of Sigmar.

As the title says, I have come into the possession of the lovely Xandria Azurebolt from the "Mortal Realms" monthly subscription thing that GW does, as well as the Cities of Sigmar Army Book. EvilBay strikes again! I have about $200 to spend on my initial purchases for this army and I come seeking advice on what exactly I should get. I have found a few of the Warriors of the Great Cities boxes still left in the wild for about $170...are these worthy purchases still, or should I be focusing on the start collecting boxes and maybe some cherry-picked units? A bit of fluff from 40k I really dug was the Tyrants Legion, or basically Space Marines in command of Imperial Guardsmen, to bulk out their numbers but also used as meat-shields. Now, surely the Stormcasts are not nearly so callous (or maybe, hopefully, they are, I need some grimdark), but that is a theme I am interested in pursuing: Transhuman/Supernatural Warriors leading Mortals into battle, spending their lives so that the Mighty may live...thats a fun quote: "So that the Mighty might live".

Anyway, maybe that will give you guys an idea of what I am looking at, any advice is appreciated. Only stipulation is for now the General or Adjutant MUST be a Knight Incantor.

 

Thanks!
