Reasons?

I've had an idea for a shipwreck graveyard themed board for awhile now. Like all smashed up in a cove but still playable on. Warcry would be the perfect size I think.

I do hope that whitefang confused reaction is pertaining to your gitmob reference, @Shankelton. 🤞

You rat fans have got to be getting all gooey fo sho!! Been a long time coming. Hope it's everything y'all could want. 🤜🤛🐀🤘

Just need to lay it out on a board, glue it down and start shaping your base foundation. @Dracovski has some great points. I'd suggest an initial layer or two of just glue over foam for a solid working foundation then start with texture. Just need to pick a landscape type; rocky steppes, dessert, jungle, etc so you have a good design flow and focus to follow. Again as it's your first I'd find an image of one you like and just copy it's layout then just tweak to your preference and materials available. Like you could use the layout of that 2nd and use your coffeesticks and cardboard to make some burned out or ruined structures. One last thing is be patient. This isn't an overnight project so don't rush the important steps like preparing the foam for a good base so your project has a solid foundation. One more last thing, heh, if you go through with it... POST THEM W.I.P. PICS, forum friend!!! 🤘

That second pic is impressive! I'd open the buildings up but overall damn nice. I'd say find one you like, copy it and tweak to your liking. Keep it simple and start with step one, the ground. You stated not flat so go from there. What kind of foam do you have?

@Gitzdee A few questions to get the focus going may help. Are you thinking modular or fixed design? What is the landscape you're wanting? Will it have buildings or all wilds?

Interesting indeed. 🤔

I use varnish of all different sheens. For cloth I'll use matte. For most skins I use satin or a 50/50 of satin and matte. For mouths and gross bits I use gloss or a 50/50 glass and satin. This all adds a bit of realism. I also use Vallejo through an airbrush at 50/50 water.

Kruleboyz: Design. The model range themselves are incredible to me! Everything from anatomy to what I refer to as "functional fantasy' in their armor, weapons, etc is just incredibly well designed an I still get big smile every time I look upon them. They lack the more cartoonist and stylized look of their cousins in gitz and jawz and really give off a sinister vibe that is lacking in other Os &Gs ranges an I'm totally and completely here for It. Theme: I've mentioned it before but it was a bit of a gamble for Geedubs to deviate from their tried and true greenskins design and I'm glad hey did. It really does set them apart and make them unique to AoS. Cunning orcs that still maintain that brutal savage strength to rip a man's arm out of its socket is impressive. And to see them use ranged weaponry with such precision justs rounds off the appeal for me. Their use of psychological warfare is terrifying. The eery swamp theme is just icing on the cake! Can't wait to see what's next for them.

Ahhh yeeees... this old AI generated corpo ******.🤬 Hopefully you get it sorted.

They saved Middle Earth, damnit!!! Show them some love and respect on the tabletop!! 😁

Different strokes for different folks. I look at AoS and ToW as a parent and child dycotamy. I don't want to keep reading and hearing about the exploits of the parent (ToW) as It gets stagnant. I do want to read and hear about new adventures and paths forged (AoS) by new characters and hear of their stories. As far as uniquely AoS ideas I'd say that yes it is a continuation of an established setting but there are things that are definitely different enough while still maintaining the wonderful and rich groundwork provided by ToW. I'll use orcs (orruks) as an example. Ironjawz are definitely grounded in the black orc archetype but they're also different enough. They spent the entire age of chaos up to their tusked filled chins deep in battle with chaos (ultimately keeping chaos in check until order could regroup. 😜 but that's another topic) and it actually physically changed them enough to become these massive mountains of green warrior meat so much that a typical Ardboy troop rivals Warbooses of old. Kruleboyz changed equally as much to become taller, smarter, and lankier to better adapt to their new surroundings and develop ranged warriors that rival elves of old. So again I wouldn't say uniquely AoS but enough removed from the stereotypes of old. Old or new I hope everyone gets something they can appreciate and click with. Edit:typos

@Baron Klatz Thank you. I appreciate that. I dont know how they'd portray them on the tabletop though. They seem beyond reasonable miniature size albeit a really cool idea. That story bit tells of ironjawz transports. This is definitely something I'd love to see on the tabletop more. Using Kruleboyz and gitmob as an example I think a gnarly water buffalo for krules and a gnarly plains bison for gitmob would make for wonderful and fun minis as well as new and fun gameplay. One could only imagine many things for other factions. Why should the overlords have all the transport fun. I've never been a fan of the magically teleporting of units across the tabletop for most armies. Things like Tzeentch, etc I can understand but for the most part it just seem creatively and mechanically lazy. Bring on transport beasts!!! 🤘

Oh man, hope it's Zagnog (leaked Kruleboyz killaboss) and the wizard sce if there is. 🤞 I actually emailed geedubs asking about these and just got a typical corpo ****** answer that was probably created by AI.. 😑

Heard they'll be buff, half naked, and riding horses. This is just a rumor so swallow with salt.

Kinda meh for my stuff. My ironjawz as of yet finished army just gained an extra 90 points though.

I dont play ogors or collect outside of a couple models but I will say that the CoS warhulk model is on point with scale and design and I hope that a total and complete refresh of this range will reflect this model going forward. Not one ogor model should be on anything less than a 50mm. This is just my opinion. If this occurs then consider me an ogor collector.

Bring it on!!! 🤘

Interesting setting.

Option 1.

Not to get our "Fantasty" forum too off track but I don't think we'll see knarloc riders. Maybe a greater at best. I think they'd overlap too much with rampagers. The unreleased rider silhouette has got to be a krootor (maybe a new name) unless they've redone the knarloc design. Anyone of these would be appreciated though. So excited for this release!! Won't say anymore as this is an AoS forum.

@Gitzdee You could add a dankboss , two rockgut battline, and the burning head endless spell. This puts you at 1000 exactly and the burning skull endless spell kinda represents Glareface in a way. 😉

Wasn't there army shots that had the old models in it?

It's been stated in lore that glooms and gits do not really trust each other and that an uneasy alliance has formed as of late.
