Perhaps. AoS is so much more diverse with its Deepkin, Kharadrons, Gloomspite, Chaos, Seraphon, Sylvaneth and many more.

To be honest I didn't understand hype for Sisters in the first place but I perceive them as one of the most boring army so far. Maybe 40k minis are just not for me. Every time I see new minis for 40k they all look the same for me.

Sorry if this was mentioned earlier but I'm just curious if you guys have thought of decent Katakros list?

How about this? Allegiance: Ossiarch Bonereapers Leaders Liege-Kavalos (200) Mortisan Soulmason (140) Vokmortian, Master of the Bone-tithe (180) Battleline 20 x Mortek Guard (260) - Nadirite Blade and Shield 10 x Mortek Guard (130) - Nadirite Blade and Shield 10 x Mortek Guard (130) - Nadirite Blade and Shield Units 3 x Necropolis Stalkers (200) 3 x Necropolis Stalkers (200) Behemoths Mortek Crawler (200) Mortek Crawler (200) Battalions Mortek Ballistari (100) Total: 1940 / 2000 Extra Command Points: 1 Allies: 0 / 400 Wounds: 106 So the idea is to wreak havoc with Crawlers from afar guarded by 1 unit of 20 Mortek Guard and supported by Soulmason and Liege-Kavalos. Other units for objective capture. There is room left for an Endless Spell.

Thanks. Am I correct that Ogors come in old boxes? Not the "white ones"?

I see that Ogors mostly come in old pre-AoS boxes (at least so they appear on GW site). Does it mean that they have square bases inside and I need to buy round bases seperately?

@Sception Wow, thank you. You put a lot of effort into that mini guide. Thanks. There is a lot to think through. Based on what you write I guess I will go for both ways of assembling. Not at once. I mean - have an army that is fun to paint and one that is more competetive. Comparing Stalkers and Immortis I think that the first is better but I like the look of Immortis more. Same goes with Mortek Swords and Spears. Maybe while having 2 boxes of FoB I will assemble both 1 of each, just for the sake of cool appearance, and later on prospectively get 1 extra set of either of them. Sadly, Morghast seem to be the least competetive although I think they are one of the best looking models in AoS. They are most likely to be droped from my 2k list. So far I like sth like this: Allegiance: Ossiarch Bonereapers Leaders Vokmortian, Master of the Bone-tithe (180) Mortisan Boneshaper (130) Battleline 20 x Mortek Guard (260) - Nadirite Blade and Shield 20 x Mortek Guard (260) - Nadirite Spear and Shield Units 3 x Necropolis Stalkers (200) 3 x Necropolis Stalkers (200) Behemoths Mortek Crawler (200) Mortek Crawler (200) Battalions Mortek Ballistari (100) Total: 1730 / 2000 Extra Command Points: 1 Allies: 0 / 400 Wounds: 99 Probably need more leaders. Need to read more into warscrolls. Thanks again for your help. It will take a while to complete those OBR.

@GeneralZero2k. Not super competetive but competetive & cool. 😊 Woild love to have Katakros and/or catapults.

@Sception Where would you go next with 2 boxes of Feast of Bones? So far I've been thinking around Mawtribes but would lik to hear some suggestions on OBR as well.

Oh I think AoS isn't too strict about cohesion of themes across armies. Think of it as another chamber/clan/guild. We've lately seen a lot of that Ironjawz and Bonesplitterz in one battletome. Gutbusters and Beastclaw Raiders. Glommspite Gitz that Grots, Throggoths and Spiderfang together. Not to mention Stormcasts, CoS or Skaven. Little effort is needed to bring together sky machines and ground machines together. "Years ago Kharadrons divided themselves for those that will rule the sky and those that will live on the ground but they had both in common the love for Aether-devices. Bla, Bla, Bla.... Now they stand together once again to face the terror of Chaos and Death forces on the horizon. Bla, Bla, Bla... Done. Let's face it. Mechs are always cool.

Funny or tragic thing is I have close to 2k points of Kharadron Overlords still in boxes. Not because I lost interest or sth. From the reveal day I knew it will be my favourite or at least in top 3 just because of glorious design. They are still in boxes because I expect them to get a full rework in terms of rules. Many units have weapon choices and thus I feel it's too risky to build them now when after a new battletome roles of some units may completely differ from what they do now. Hope it's not just point reduction. Skyvessels should be fearsome war machines that your opponent will treat with respect. Spamming them at 100p reduction is not the way when a bunch of peasents can destroy them. I'd rather keep them high with their cost but give them strength of Durthu/Cabbage/Bloodthirster. In terms of unit expansions it's easy - ground forces. Mechs, tanks.

Nah. We are all probably murderers in real life because we enjoy killing our mniature soldiers with rolling dice.

Edit: How to insert a build from w-h.com builder? Allegiance: Destruction LEADERS Tyrant (160) - General Butcher (140) - Cleaver Frostlord on Stonehorn (400) UNITS 12 x Ogor Gluttons (400) - Clubs or Blades with Iron Fists 4 x Ironguts (220) 4 x Leadbelchers (160) 4 x Mournfang Pack (280) - Gargant Hackers 2 x Ironblaster (240) TOTAL: 2000/2000 EXTRA COMMAND POINTS: 0 WOUNDS: 150 LEADERS: 3/6 BATTLELINES: 1 (3+) BEHEMOTHS: 1/4 ARTILLERY: 1/4 ARTEFACTS: 0/1 ALLIES: 0/400 Basically it's 2x Feast of Bones and 1 Start Collecting. What do you think of it?

Those Monsters for Warcry are great. If there was any impulse for me to start a Slaves to Darkness it would be them, not new chaos warriors /knights. To ordinary for my taste. Khorne does it better for me. Although great GW did that with a SC box.

I've been planning my 2k Gloomspite Squig army today. Before battleforces were shown. Really. This box is 90% of what I need. 2x battleforce, Looncurse part and I'm pretty close to my list.

Yeah, same here. I've ordered 2 boxes of Feast (think most of the stuff will be useful for 2k armies) and refreshed the site twice that day before preorder went online. Sadly with the Looncurse I had an argument with the very same e-shop but in the end they sent me my copy of the box. Guess they've learned their lesson as Feast was impossible to order later that day, probably after they had sold several copies.

Funny thing. It might be the first time I feel satisfied with all the armies and not looking for further army releases. Not that I don't want them - just happy with current state of the game.

So I'm the only one that likes primary painting scheme most? I find it good enough not to change anything and paint it as is.

At first I thought that I order Feast of Bones only for OBR and then sell Ogors. Now I think I will build and paint Ogors first, lol. It was a great year for AoS by the way. Perhaps the best so far. Many battletomes (somebody did count?), Gloomspite, Slaanesh, Bonereapers, best GHB. To be perfect it only lacked models, terrain and/or spells for older armies (Fyreslayers, and Orruks negligence is most annoying). EDIT I would almost forget - no new Stormcast army! That's gold! And great boxes - Looncurse, Feast of Bones and the first one with FEC and Skaven.

Great there are both weapon choices in Feast for Bones. I'm ordering two boxes if the price is right (similar to Looncurse).

I really don't get GW marketing. Whole week some boring stuff on the w-c and then all of a sudden they give kind of preorder preview without any introduction. We are talking here about brand new large army and two battletomes.

Yeah, If they lack anything it's ranged. Full of everything else.

It would seem strange to get yet another Stormcast battleforce. They already had plenty sets. But since everybody are in love with Stormcasts.... Even so I'm happy GW refrained itself from releasing another SCE army this year. Much needed break. If those rumours are true I would 100% take Gloomspite and maybe Nighthaunt if it's packed with units I lack (already have over 2k points of them painted)

What was on these pictures?

I wish diversity and representation didn't just mean black people. As far as I know there are no Far East or Middle East Asians in AoS. Just as in all Western movies, games, etc.
