I just noticed that the killbow and breakaboss are pushfit models. Whats the meaning behind this? Are pushfit models becomming a thing now? Are we getting another box set including the killbow? Are they doing the Nighhaunt thing of a monopose pushfit army? Are we getting reasonably priced models for the kruleboyz? Am i overthinking this XD???

I mean that just furthers my point... troggoths are all pretty monstrous in my opinion.
Plus it seems like the term monster is defined largely by human terms as I am pretty certain that a Grot or Skink would consider a lightening wreathed paladin with wings of light to be a monster.Also if i'm not mistaken they used to be monsters in fantasy. Dont really know what changed this.

Considering the Mirebrute's Keywords, I am not sure if Games Workshop and I agree on the definition of 'Monster'...
Its only fair, all the gloomspite gitz throggoth also arent monsters. (although i still agree with u)

Its probably a distraction carnifex for the kruleboyz. Not important enough to kill and killy enough to be a threat.

Does this mean i can use the troggoth in a gloomspite gitz troggoth list? Dont know how this works in 3.0.
If so i will buy him and replace the orruk with squighopper riders.
(forgive me for only having access to paint at work)-

Hello everyone!
I have been meaning to start a thread about my Soulblight Gravelords/Tomb Kings army, and I guess now is as good a time as any
Some time around two years back I got back into painting miniatures, mostly for games like Dungeons and Dragons at first. I had previously tried to get into Warhammer about 10 years prior, but only ever managed to paint one unit of Tomb Kings skeletons.
At the time, I had optimistically purchased a Tomb Kings battalion box, and it seemed like a waste to let all those skeletons go unpainted, so I picked the army that would allow me to field them in an actual game of Warhammer most easily, which at the time was Legions of Nagash.
By now that little project has certainly progressed quite a bit. I have written some original fluff for the army that fits into the Mortal Realms and have even managed to add a few conversions of modern models to the old Tomb Kings aesthetic. I hope to share some of my writing, painting and conversion efforts with you soon and hope you find them interesting!
Very nice project!
May i ask how u painted the purple cloak? -
I guess its wishlisting because those battletomes are in need of a 3.0 update. Nighthaunt is missing from that list though XD.

I really empathize with this because I am also in a position to be working full time with a small child, so I basically only get to paint on weekends. And when I first started Warhammer, I burned myself out for a while by trying to paint to a too high standard.
Since I do like painting for it's own sake, though, I don't feel the pressure to motivate myself as much as other people. I know that I will eventually get around to painting all the stuff I have, given enough time, so I don't get anxiety from having a pile of shame.
What has helped me actually get results is to set reasonable expectations for myself. I slow grow my army by painting just about a box of models per month, less in the winter because the lack of natural light makes it harder to paint late in the day. I, too, mostly suck at blending colours, so I tend to go for impactful high-contrast paint jobs instead. Blending is just hard with acrylic paints if you don't have an airbrush. Instead, I focus my effort into techniques that I can do reliably without getting frustrated, like edge highlights and blacklining. The thing you mention about focal points of a model is also something I do: I put effort into the face and other important details, but boots are fine with a layer of brown paint and Agrax.
I also think it helps to recognize where you should put in effort an where you should not. For those 30 battleline guys, it's probably not worth painting them all to the highest standard. In such cases, my benchmark for determining whether the models are tabletop ready is very literal: I look at them from about one or two meters away on a tabletop and if they look good, they are done. Centerpiece models and heroes are worth putting time into. Skeleton Warrior #37 just needs to get done.
The approach works for me, and I have been able to paint more than 5000 points in two or so years this way. But still, I recognize that the effort I put into painting is more than some people are willing to invest, because I still shoot for a fairly high overall standard.
It seems like we have the same style of painting for the most part. May i ask if u use washes? I am starting to question using washes or at least use it less because it dulls the color of the model if i try to go for a higher contrast paint job. Also where can i find something on blacklining. I've not heard of this before.
I have like 2 to 4 hours a week to paint, i've been busy with a black coach last 2 weeks and i think i have at least another 2 to go XD. It is actually hard for me to lower my standards for painting but i really want to put some color on my pile of shame.

While we are on the topic of painting standards i have another question. What are your standards for a tabletop ready model or unit?
I am trying to figure out where the sweetspot is for me. I am taking way to long painting my armies imo. Although it is also because my skills are lacking for what i am trying to accomplish. I am horrible at blending colors and i have to put the time in to learn that skill at some point but i just cant find the time between work and having a daughter thats only 2 months old. I am thinking about spending less time on the details of basic troops and put some work into leaders and behemoths. I've also read something about saving time using the focal point of a model and concentrate on details there and less on the other parts. In a way i have been gatekeeping myself XD.I think i have to change my mindset of what is tabletop ready. Do u paint your armies using different standards or do u all paint them up to be the same level?

Is Gordrakk getting reboxed? He's no longer available online.
-
Somehow i feel like he was meant to be a chaos model. Then they remembered they already have Archaon and Belakor.
Dont get me wrong i love that destruction got some love but i just dont get it from a designers perspective.
-
I actually am hoping we get more access to shooting with the ranged options of the kruleboyz in the big waaagh.

Considering @Whitefang has returned and liked your post, I'm definitely more inclined to believe that they're going nowhere.
If this is the case i would like someone to explain to me why destruction got a random centaur god. The only things i can think of right now is that they had something else planned and they shoved it into destruction last minute. Or they just needed something to introduce dragons and had nowhere to put him and then shoved it into destruction. It just feels like they copy pasted him into the Excelsis battle.
Edit: Or we have a lot more beast goodness commin our way this edition. Might have to steal the mannaroth idea XD.

Sure. But does every 11 year old have a smart phone with this ability (before you say it's an expensive hobby or everyone has a smart phone, keep in mind some new kids find their dad's old collection and they are looking for a way to explore the game as new players)? I'm guessing they are outdated for most but not everyone.
To be honest i have seen 11 year olds with a better smart phone than i have. I get your stance on this but they are already putting things behind a digital paywall and that doesnt strike me as childfriendly either. I cant see many parents giving their children a subscription to warhammer+.
I dont really support the way things are shaping up to be now digitally but it might open some doors for future content.-

For the casual hobby part u should do whatever u want. If u want to join a tournament just meet the requirements to enter that tournament. Everything else imo is people making other people feel bad about their minis to make themselves feel better. I just cant wrap my mind around why someone would give a negative comment on another players minis if not asked directly. And if u like to play against someone with only high level painted minis thats also ok and good luck with that. People look for different things in this hobby and thats fine.

I do like the physical aspect of this hobby aswell after a day of working behind a computer. But the problem for me is missing out on many rules. Yeah i can find them online but i dont have it all inside one battletome that i can brind to the table. Like with the broken realms rules or white dwarf releases i dont have access to the newer gloomspite gitz and nighthaunt rules within the battletome.

It would be a massive shame for current Beasts of Chaos fans who like them for their current lore, though. And also for those who have bought and converted BoC models to fit into their other armies
While they technically could fit in Destruction with their aesthetic (and a lore re-write), I don't know if it would add anything to them? Destruction aren't usually included as a 'big bad' faction; even now, Kragnos and the Kruel Boyz seem more in the background, considering they failed to conquer Excellis. Beasts of Chaos becoming Beasts of Destruction would require alienating their older fans, alienating those who have made chaos conversions, and then a large full range refresh to bring them more in line with Destruction. In return, Beasts would get access to Kragnos and a range refresh that may look aesthetically dissimilar to their old models for better or worse.
Personally, I don't think a move to Destruction would benefit BoC much, nor would it massively help Destruction either.
While i agree with most of this i cant help but tell u of what GW did to my orks and goblins army that i painted and converted to all look as one army.
They put the savage orruks i had in their own battletome and then put them into orruk warclans.
They got rid of my regular orks and grots.
They made gloomspite gitz where they used the spiderfang, nightgoblins and rivertrolls and added a whole new range of models to go along with it.
The giants got their own battletome now.I wouldnt rule out the possible drastic changes to ones army.

I don't want to sound rude, but anyone who thinks BoC should be in Destruction knows nothing about BoC. Read any page from their battletome and you'd know they're tied to Chaos at the deepest possible levels, even beyond some of the god-marked armies. And I'm sorry for even alluding to swearwords on this good, Sigmarite forum, but Chaos is in their name, ffs
Back to an actual rumor, but does the idea of them getting souped with S2D have any real teeth? I'd honestly believe that GW forgetting about them for some stuff is more likely.
Because destruction got a random centaur god added to their list without any models to go along with it. I think he looks really out of place. Would it be awesome if we could run him along some beastman, yesh i think it would. Also their mindset is not that different from the kruleboyz. I still think gw wont ever move them to destruction but i get where people get the idea.

Would be sweet if BoC becomes a Destruction faction with the return of Kragnos. Maybe they start worshipping a NEW god...
I would like this but i think a lot of chaos players would ragequit if that happened.

We should tell gw about this and they can do a limited edition Space Marines one with girlyman on the cover. It will happen for sure!
Ok all kidding aside. I do think they need to up their game with the apps. The reason imo with people looking for 3rd party stuff is that their own stuff just isnt good enough. They can try to make all content illegal but they will never get rid of all fanmade stuff. And i think fanmade content just adds to their popularity. They should focus on just being better and people will be drawn to them for quality content. Isnt that how we ended up here anyway? Quality minis.-

I don't some people comprehend what they are asking for.
Do you need constant updates to your battletome every time another army gets a Battletome? Do you want minutia changes on a weekly basis to try and "balance" the meta? Because I don't want to live in that world, and neither do you. It works fine for online games where they get a thousand games in a week and can make a change from 150 damage to 140 damage because such and such is a little too good. But in this game, where we get one game a week if we're lucky, we don't need our rules changed monthly. This is a major problem that Warmahordes had two years ago and it really just messed with new and returning players.
A paper book is fine, especially for a game we don't entirely play online with no real models.
They are already doing this in the form of faq's and white dwarf releases. And what about new models that arent included in a battletome. Sometimes it is already outdated after a month or 2. Slaanesh got 2 battletomes in 2 years.
