  1. Miniwargaming did one but you have to have a free trial or subscription to see it.
  2. He looks very cool and the backstory really fits! Well done, looking forward to seeing him painted. Will you be sharing in the Aos28 thread as well?
  3. Well than you might be in for a treat tomorrow I already finished painting the command squad. Only I forgot to base the Standard Bearers arm so will have to finish that one tomorrow.
  4. Yeah I just made the others without pools only thin lines Luckily it was a bit of an experiment but I think that because it is wider it would need a more gradual fade to yellow. Hence the thin lines on the others.
  5. Progress time. As my slaanesh gang moves back from the shadow realm into the fire realm I wanted suitable dark bases that still ties them to the fire realm. i like the ' river' ones. The puddle not so much. What do you guys think?
  6. Haha of you are ever in Amsterdam we'll play a pick up game and it will work I guarantee it no but seriously yes people will break it but I'm convinced even more people will have great experiences with it. Unless I get the rules next week and they suck of course
  7. haha never thought of this. But to be honest it doesn't look to me like GW is trying to create a perfect system just a fun little add-on. If that isn't for you that's of course fine. Can't imagine anyone in my gaming group trying to break a system like this. But you are right, there probably will be people doing stuff like that if you organise a skirmish tournament. Then again just houserule it to maximum 20 models or something.
  8. Watch the Miniwargaming review. They talk about the limits of creation a bit. Your concern is valid but handled it seems. You can only take that many of a single warscroll and the warscroll options seem very limited.
  9. Well that makes my opinion totally invalid. Well argued But if you are so determined to see only the bad in a box like that i'll leave it at that. Just feels like a lot of negativity.
  10. Well it isn't meant for that now is it.... Those boxes are designed to easily build a warband for Skirmish. A game we don't know the full rules to, (the twitch stream didn't really offer all the designing warbands details) and you are bashing for not being suitable to start a full scale army... This of course is very true
  11. This week I'm trying to find the time to build a command squad for my Warriors. First pose of the champion. I also have some different weapon options. What do you think? i might just lose the shield and go for the claw and sword (tying the unit a bit more with my daemonettes)
  12. thanks so much for the highlights! On thing is missing though... Did it look fun?! In your eyes did it see like a fun way to play the game without to much clutter (something that regularly happend with the whfb supplements)
  13. Thanks for the compliment! It's one of the few things I miss from warhammer. The influence from different cultures. I like that the sword I found is not dissimilar to their Xiphos-sword: But you are right that the spear is more iconic.
  14. Couldn't find the time to paint but did find the time to assemble the champion of the Chaos Warriors. But... I can't decide on the weapon! So what else to do than to ask you fine people of the internets for your wisdom and insights! The choices from top to bottom: on the model - a dark elf sword which quite resembles the sword Spartans preferred. A Chaos Knight spear (would have to remove the hand and scale it down a bit) A dark elf spear same as the other Warriors (the helmet already indentifies him as the champion) A ornate kairic mace the Kairic scroll A Daomonettes claw - the big advantage is that it ties it to the daemonic part of the of the army The Corsair Fleetmaster sword - tougher to pose naturally but vicious looking A Chaos Knight sword - I feel it's to big but it's very much a Chaos weapon Sudden idea: I could also remove the shield (maybe add it to the back) and give him a weapon besides the claw.
  15. And time for the next update. Painting continues after a brief dry spell to prepare a campaign. We ended up playing hinterlands due to the birth of someone's first kid. Great joy all around ? Model in back is almost done and the two others getting there. I decided to challenge myself by adding a freehand sigil on the shield, never done so before, so now for a design...
  16. No they are from Scibor miniatures. http://www.sciborminiatures.com/en_,shop.php?art=868
  17. Well sylvaneth do the same with the wyldwoods I think. So yeah that could be interesting.
  18. Good call to bring this back to life. On my work table yesterday... three converted spartan style slaanesh Chaos Warriors.
  19. Going further on that sentiment I would love it if it also impacted gameplay. So maybe turning Skaven Verminus/Moulder/skryre into a underground assault force. Big mole like creatures digging up during the course of the battle (visual- bigger broodhorror) with the classical Skaven randomness added to it. hordes of weak skaven pouring out of those holes. Could tie in to their fluff of being the only race capable of creating gateways between the realms. I find it hard to invision something like that with a 'Water' theme but it would certainly be cool.
  20. The problem with these arguments is that although you might loose a few battles your hero will kill and will grow so much stronger that it will become even more unstoppable. And, as you say yourself, some scenarios don't really compensate for that. While I understand the wish to make things balanced... everything is designed for larger battles and thus prised that way. It will never really scale down. Every model you field with an ability that needs X+ models should also be factored in the point cost. But it doesn't apply to Hinterlands. All in all I agree with keeping the rules a bit fluid but don't expect to create a perfectly balanced system.
  21. Haha very nice of you, won't be giving up but you have to admit it did sound better than: 'Good job'.
  22. This is just ridiculous There are too many details and beautiful fades for a 28mm model. This just makes me want to give up or really commit to getting better. Scr*w Kim Kardashian, Lady Ninsar has the butt that breaks the internet. Well done sir/madam
