  1. Put together an Arachanok w/ shaman. Didn't like the howdah or the Spiderfang aesthetic in general so I decided to kitbash a rider.
  2. Spiderfang aside, I think Gitz are the least in need of new/updated models right now, at least within Destruction. It's a pretty big and eclectic mix of new and well-aged models. A plastic Scuttleboss along with the Battletome is probably the most I'd expect.
  3. The sum total of my gobbos so far, pretty much just the Fungal Loonhorde battleforce and some odds-and-ends I picked up (including a half-assembled Mangler Boss that I haven't included here). I didn't like the tiny skull hat that came with the Troggboss so I repurposed Mortarch spares to give them a suitably impressive crown.
  4. I'm going to try and be a little conservative in a somewhat hectic January and just finish off some Grots and a Shaman that I left before Christmas.
  5. Season of War have the format down and their reports are really clearly presented, even if I'd prefer fluffier lists from time to time. The dream for me is the video equivalent of the early-mid-2000s White Dwarf battle reports, though maybe nostalgia is playing a not insignificant part there.
  6. Yeah I can't speak for everyone, but personally I very rarely complete a Total War campaign anyway, I just play until it stops being fun. If you took my completion stats as an indication of popularity, my favourite factions would be Empire and Beastmen, when in reality Skaven and Vampire Counts make up the bulk of my playtime.
  7. Personally I hope that CoS don't become an entirely human army. I know you could just ally in other Order factions were that to become the case, but thematically I like the idea of an army of Humans, Elves and Dwarves fighting under the same banner. Maybe newer kits could even have all three represented in a single unit?
  8. I suppose, though I would have thought that a larger point disparity could have done that just as well without feeling quite so arbitrary. They're both pretty cheap as-is so I don't know whether making Madcaps cheaper or Fungoids dearer would be preferable. I'm also not sure how Spore Maws matches up to Night Shroud in a world with Unleash Hell but I guess the 4+ ward save and extra command point could be worth more than 10pts and a non-generic artefact.
  9. What's the deal with Fungoid Cave-Shamans not being able to take Gloomspite artefacts? It seems like a weird restriction when every other Hero unit can.
  10. I imagined that a new Avatar of Khaine would be a cross-system model like Be'lakor, but I suppose that would leave the existing model in the AoS Cauldron of Blood kit in a really weird place.
  11. Gitz actually already have something similar with the Glowy Howzit for Dankhold Troggbosses (4+ ward, but he eats it if you ever roll a 1).
  12. Even outside of AoS communites, the first thing people will give it is that it has some really nice models, so I guess it's no surprise it's done well for itself in the mini of the year rankings. Be'lakor's there to fly the flag for both 40K and AoS though, and well deserved too.
  13. Hi all, I used to play 40K and WHFB about 15 years ago, with an odd smattering of Empire or Orcs from the 6th edition starter set as my main forces. A year ago in lockdown I found I had a lot of spare time inside to dedicated to painting (and much more patience and will than teenage me, to boot) so I decided to pick it up again. I always quite fond of the Night Goblin aesthetic so I was quite happy to see that Gloomspite Gitz carry on with that aesthetic, even if their recent competitiveness apparently leaves a lot to be desired. Slowly working towards 2k points of those and maybe look into rolling some dice sometime, so if anyone knows of any good AoS communities in the northeast of England I'd be happy to hear about them. Been lurking in a few Warhammer forums/subreddits since getting back into it but this one seems to have a nice community feel and good spread of AoS discussion, so I thought I'd make myself known. Great to meet you all! Brian
