My problem is actually that my hobby time is very limited. Mental challanges and busy family life makes it hard to find any time at all. This also means building an army takes a very long time. Is that GWs problem? I guess not, but it is something that can be expected as many if us arent living the student life. I have been busy gathering orruks for a Big Waaagg army and i already know it will be invalidated by the time ill finish building and painting it all. I will finish it because i already spend precious money and time on it, but it does really dampen my motivation.

My guess it that its based on the roadmap. GW could have talked about it on the last reveal stream. I watched it without audio last time so i am not sure about that. Thats said, i can see Warcry moving to another setting along with 4th edition. I understand why people would think that.

Just wanted to talk about staying motivated. Im having issues at the moment about how much time i want to spend on this hobby. I didnt like 3rd edition all that much. I think the lore regarding Destruction forces has been a major letdown so far. Cherry on top is the removal of my beloved Bonesplitterz and Spiderfang being neglected also doesnt help. I was really hoping for some Qulathis style Kurnothi and that didnt happen. Warcry/ Underworlds warbands getting removed also doesnt sit well with me. Gitmob is in a really weird spot, first they get put into legends, now we only have Snarlfangs with the Gitmob Keyword. The new Ironjawz wave is whats kinda keeping me into AoS as the moment. I still want to paint the projects i have invested in but i dont feel motivated to start anything new. I hope 4th edition will be a great rule set and i can get some games in. I hope they release something that will boost my motivation as i do like the hobby itself. Anyone has similar issues or stories? Would u start a new project or get rid of old ones? Dont really know where im going with this but i needed to clear my thoughts. Would not like to lose interrest, but i just dont like getting my models removed every few years. What do u do when u feel burned out on certain aspects of the hobby? Edit: I think i will focus on building terrain and finishing projects for a while. Edit: i used to switch to 40k if i was feeljng burned out on AoS. But so far im not feeling either 9th or 10th edition.

Same, i cut the bristles and use them for drybrushing or painting scenery. Worst brushes i have bought so far.

Same. I would like to try other paints too.

I think there is is difference now with Warcry units. Some of them are announced as both Warcry and AoS units. I think that was the case with the Wildercorpse Hunters and the Gorgers. Dont remember if they did the same with the recent warbands. Edit: Could have only been on the stream.

Funny thing that some are using citadel paint because of availability and not the quality of the product.

Double

What about daemons like pink horrors or the coloured gods? GW wants to move away from that too? We are talking about marines etc but isnt this the same problem? I think it would be great to not have daemons locked into a scheme. I know it isnt a rule, but ive never seen anyone move away from the GW scheme.

Must be like why i actually bought bladeguards once. (And sold them again because i didnt want to go on the primaris train after all)

I just had the most happy idea. What if we had another end times event within AoS where Gorkamorkas followers actually manage to destoy everything that has been build within the mortal realms. If Chaos gets their win why cant we get one too. (Or let nagash not feel like mojojojo)

Im not bashing one or the other. Just think they have a similar design. These might draw in some 40k people because these stormcast feel familiar.

Bladeguard Eternals lol.

Agreed, i wonder how they look on round bases.

Yeah im not talking rules actually. I could be wrong but it feels like they release half of the models at the end of the edition with the narrative campaign. Could have just been the slow start of 3rd edition.

If only they could not release those products within a few months away from the next edition.

This is great! I dont really know whats out there besides the weird colorshift paints some of my friends use. This has been helpfull. I quite like the AK products, might look into their paints too, didnt know they had those.

Seems like this was wishlisting based on the events of the Dawnbringer books? I havent read them myself but it seems like thats the case.

What brand of paint do u use and why? I use citadel paints, just because that is whats available almost every where. I read recently that vallejo paints have a more matt finish than citadel paints and i am wanting to try those. But i keep seeing these "model" or "game" color ranges. Does anyone know the difference and whats best for painting minis?

All this talk about Stormcast proves how little i know about them. Didnt know half these models even existed. I do like these new ones. I guess its the Death side of things that pulls me in.

Maw Krusha = Huge Wyvern Gore Grunta = Big Pigs cav unit Maw Grunta = Huge Pig If GW wants to go full circle with their naming we need the last one. Gore Krusha = Big Wyverns cav unit???

Weird things. Weird Brutes.. Weird Nobz... Weird Boars??? Weird Wyverns??? (Please give me Gore Krushas) Plenty of Waaagh energy is a challenge to logic! Give me a Bonesplitterz refresh/ replacement ! ! !

Soul Calibur! (Astaroth main). (They should make a Blazblue game in the style of SF4)

I think this is a decent way to solve this problem. Allowing or even supporting mixed lists in CoS by simply using kits from other armies. Everyone can be creative and kitbash their own city models that way. It would be hard to balance I would love to see a Scourge Privateers wave though.

Life in the mortal realms are sad if your favourite factions are Spiderfang, Bonesplitterz, Gitmob and Wanderers. At least Ironjawz are here to stay.
