The Lost Sigmarite

I really do feel like these new universal/Grand Alliance battle tactics were made as a response to how impactful faction specific battle tactics are in this edition - some factions lived or died by their battle tactics and how easy/difficult they were to score. At least now, you won't see degenerate SBGL players clogging the board with zombies to get easy battle tactics scoring (same goes for you Tzeentch). I wonder however how certain factions that don't fit the "standard" mold of their GA will use their battle tactics. For example, the Order tactic they showed requires map control, something let's say SCE might do with teleporting or IDK with their fast units, but a more "castle" army like CoS might not score it. As for me, these battle tactics are simple and straightforward, I'll have little problem remembering them by heart, which is great. Because this edition I had to constantly shuffle between documents to keep track of battle tactics.

Lately, I have been feeling a bit down, and painting Warhammer has helped me deal with that. So I guess this is what keeps me motivated to paint : to know I am creating something beautiful, no matter how slow I paint (painting ~45 minutes a day when I can, it's gonna be slow).

The fact the number of Ogres resin/metal kits went to 7 to 6 recently when plastic Gorgers were added via Warcry is a very good sign they'll get a revamp somewhere down the line. And Ogres are quite popular from my experience, it'd be weird no to capitalise on that.

I'd be so cool if they made some made to order with these old AoS terrain pieces...

Hi everyone ! I wanted to start a more relaxed and fun thread about our small anectodes and secrets about the hobby. I was inspired by Louise Sugden's video on that same topic on Rogue Hobbies, and thought "why not bring it to TGA ?". So, a thread were we can banter, tell each other funny little stories, things like that. This is meant to be a judgment free place, so please don't mock fellow TGA members if they share some weird stories they had while engaging in our favourite hobby. We're a positive place ! As I'm starting this thread, I guess it's up to me to tell you my hobby secret. I have never won a single game of AoS, ever. And I play since 1st edition... My performances in game range from "valiant attempt at winning" to "getting absolutely crushed in 2 rounds". Tbf I don't play often so I forget how to play my lists between games, but it's still rough. I hope AoS4 will give me my first Warhammer W. That's my story. What's yours ?

I like what they showed today. A 4 rounds universal scenario is perfect for casuals like me who don't want to be bogged down in 5 rounds game that can take a lot of time. And underdog mechanics are perfect for people like me (I lose a lot of games of AoS). I'm not playing general's handbook yet, but it's unusually generous from GW to include it in the launch box, so I like it. More of this kind of behaviour please GW. I like the suggested scenery placement. When I was a beginner (I'm still a bit at playing the game), some players in my FLGS would manipulate the scenery so they had the good terrain on their side... This won't be happening anymore with this, I hope.

I'd say around 100 pts like what they are now. 20 pts/SCE is a good metric for points and to help players quickly gauge a model's power.

So far I like what I'm seeing from the core rules. I just hope GW won't cut down points to force players to buy more minis.

100% getting a Skryre battle formation with all sorts of Skaven pew-pews.

Feels refreshing to see a Skaven not being in a hunched posture.

Looks like someone posted the mini reveal ahead of schedule...

Absolute shame Grombrindal is a limited edition Legends mini, because he's a lovely mini worthy of White Dwarf 500.

Warlock Engineers were translated as Technomages in the French translations of WFB. So it's the same thing and probably this mini yes.

Really think they sat on the shelves at GW for the best part of 2nd and 3rd edition ? The Darkoath Warqueen was released during the transition from AoS1 to AoS2, but we only see Darkoath now. You're right, it is weird.

Or maybe the new Freeguild aesthetic was such a closely guarded secret that they used old Empire aesthetic as long as possible to not blow up the surprise when the CoS refresh came.

Little easter egg about Empire I feel like. Nothing more.

They should have put dual axes guy in the center, would have broken that "clone" effect the 2 with shields have.

A better look at the Reclusians kit.

It's OK to feel hobby burn-out and to take a break from the hobby if you don't feel into Warhammer as long as you don't abandon the hobby and your projects entirely. You can always come back to it later.

I would love for them to clarify new rend. This and how Control works is what I want clarified the most.

I don't get what that means : If you have a 3 mini unit who each have 6 wounds, and I inflict 5 wounds, does that mean one mini has 1 wound and the others 6 ? Or the unit has 13/18 wounds ? Or he can split wounds between models, like all models lose 1 wound and 2 lose 2 ?

People love them because of their suggestive poses, lack of clothing and advantageous physiques. Simple as.

This makes me wish for new demonettes sculpts.

If there isn't a miniature to go along White Dwarf 500, that's a big missed opportunity.

I was thinking the exact same thing.
