Mr. White

Also....Nightvault drops in October?! I'm 4 warbands behind in Shadespire....

Is this a warband of 9 models for Underworlds or AoS? Either way, we now know Nighthaunt, Sacrosant, and Moonclan are in NightVault. Anyone wanna take bets on Darkoath?

The first NightVault model revealed.

Magore and crew ready to delve into Shadespire...

Thanks, @ClockworkGeo91! I thought I was done with it for 1k, but have decided I want to add another 3 Horrors and a second Varghulf. This one will be different from the sharp dressed bat.

Realm of Metal! That's where my army is based out of in the fluff. Not sure what it means for realm artefacts....haven't looked into that.

@ClockworkGeo91...gotcha! I missed the Battalion bonuses.

I'm new to 1K points, so trying to follow along... How does the above list have 2x artefacts? It looks like it has none. Also, how does it have an extra command point? Finally with the 2 varghulfs and the ghast...isn't it actually 3x 6 (18 total) dice every turn and not 3d6? Cheers!

Rumor! I always heard the Bretonnian range was a bone thrown to the Perry twins to scratch their historical interest itch. The line gave them an opportunity to sculpt more traditional knights and men-at-arms and such. It seems it was less a line GW wanted and more a clause to appease their talent, near as I can tell. There were some sweet models in that range, but the rumor made sense. I'm not surprised it ultimately went away....and I say this as a guy who had a Bret army. Then again, I'm cool with the current direction of fantasy warhammer and would rather see GW continue to develop more new rather than revisit old...

@KTHXBYE on your first turn are you summoning 2 vargulfs then having them summon flayers? The varghulf can summon on the same turn they're summoned?

At 1K...I need a suggestion on what best to summon....a 3rd unit of ghouls or a 2nd varghulf? My current list is: 2 units of ghouls 1 unit of horrors 1 varghulf 1 ghast and a ghoul king/terrorgheist/zombie dragon in whatever combo I need.

Out of curiosity...let's say there are more waves of Sylvaneth. Would that mean a new Battletome? Same with Deepkin. If some new units came out, would there be a new Battletome? So soon? I guess my perception of that logistic obstacle is why I've been ok with some armies lagging in the Battletome release schedule. I mean, I guess GW could throw a BT out there, but why if they know at some point they want to refresh/update the line?

I mean, how do you decide what neutral cards to include? Just randomly draw some? Omit some faction specific cards? Who do you often play Shadespire with? Are they ok with this setup?

I would like to see the beastmen joined in with Darkoath. Both tribal barbarians living in the shadow of Chaos. All GW needs to do is create a few Darkoath units, fold in the existing Bray/Warherd units, then they have a new, decently sized faction, without having to devote large amounts of resources to a full new line like Deepkin. Seems the smart way to go.

I've had recent success, and fun, introducing new players to the game using the decks posted by @Mortarch_of_Night. However, i do like the idea of running more faction unique and specific decks. I posted some ideas here: @Kaptain Murder Do you have a formula or procedure you follow in adding a few neutrals about?

Don't we still have gobbo and darkoath factions upcoming to match the MP heralds? My guess is that Endless Spell is for Darkoath.

I took new pictures of my warbands and someone on fb draped filters over the images. They look pretty cool, but I can see the result wearing thin after awhile if the pageantry starts trumping the minis. in the meantime, i dig the results.

Just finished 1K of FEC. http://www.tga.community/forums/topic/17081-fec-chamber-of-the-bloodied-dawn/ It looks like: GK Terrorghiest varghulf ghast courtier 10 ghouls 10 ghouls 3 horrors I'm going to be playing with a bunch of guys that are pretty experienced, whereas AoS is still new to me. I'll eventually learn my list and future options, but to hit the ground running and give my opponent a decent game, does anyone have any tips on how to run this list as is? Thanks!

Wait...the made to order models released last week were in plastic? I thought made to order was done in their original materials. If i missed an all plastic Zacharias...

I have to say...I'm a bit skeptical about this 'left out by mistake' explanation also. I mean, if that's the case, then AoS 2 would have surely been an opportune time to bring them back. The molds and models are there...all they need is a Battletome. It's as simple as a the FEC battletome. A little tweaked fluff...some warscrolls...boom new Death army and players are happy everywhere. So, giving this story the benefit of the doubt during the AoS 1e initial release, doesn't make sense when there's been a new opportunity with a new edition.

Here's a rumor from over in the Shadespire area. Apparently, the new Nighthaunt battletome mentions a 'Briar Queen'. From reddit: "The Briar Queen - nemesis of the cursed city of Shadespire - is unleashed by Nagash to menace other lands. She is tasked with claiming certain souls that have cheated Nagash. With the aid of her spectral army - the Thorns of the Briar Queen - she visits each of the Mortal Realms, always bringing back her target's soul. Between missions the Briar Queen returns to Shadespire, for her need for vengeance there remains unsatisfied." Perhaps, in the Shadespire wave/season 2 we see this Nighthaunt character leading the Nighthaunt warband?

Yeah... the aelf situation is the only misfire in AoS, imo. Aelves should have been split amongst all four grand alliances for variety. Sylvaneth - aelves that want to maintain the cycle of life - Order Deepkin - aelves pillaging and taking what isn't theres - Destruction Daughters - aelves worshipping Khaine - Chaos [new faction] - aelves that, though they live long, are jealous of the soulblight. they want immortal life as well and are the new stewards of the power of shadeglass. Now being immortal they need undying servants as well...maybe an army of shadeglass constructs powered by the souls trapped in the shadeglass of shadespire - Death (i know Order doesn't mean 'good', but the current aelf alliance situation seems more based on racial identity rather than their ideologies in the fluff.)

Giving this an initial pass...do the fiends look stronger? I mean, i understand they're a solid warband, but on top of that their deck generates a wooping 24 glory whereas some of the others as low as 15.

So, there's no overlap with these decks? I'm also wanting to build some casual decks to introduce the game with. Heck, I might just keep the game at 'casual play' level.

i can see that. her helmet looks very similar to the turtle drummer and as a whole she looks like she sort of matches up with some of the characters. Plus, 'mistweaving' seems pretty close to some sort of mystical water-type conjuring.
