Not AOS, but here is the reason my April pledge was so low. The slough is real.

Has anybody picked up some of these models from Punga? They look fantastic but I would love to see some real life pics or hear a couple user reviews before I pull the trigger and buy a bunch. http://pungaminiatures.com/ratman-warriors/

Hi Guys,
I recently got an FEC Army that I want to paint up soon. I love the Lore and like the models, yet I couldn´t find a color sheme that I could get along well. So I tought I may ask you for some pictures of some nice color shemes as inspiration 😮Here is what I went with, harkening back to an old empire army I had.

I have a bunch of 40k orks to get through this month, but I am at least going to finish this unit of Spirit Hosts.

@Ben & @RuneBrush Any idea on the next theme? Because I'm excited it an even bigger project this month!
+1 to this. I have to say that I loved the March contest and want to thank you guys for putting it together and for all the members that contributed. It jump started my hobby fire and has skyrocketed my engagement with the forum again. Thanks all, you rock.

I disagree... Not with GW clinging on to books as their main source for gaming rules. Carrying an enormous army to a game is already hard enough without the need of several books to play with a single army.
If they actually swapped to a full card based system for rules (with a binder to keep it together and to allow players to make their own battletome with only the units/rules they are using)… I would love PA style expansions.
Right now, 40k is an absolute mess of rules diffusion... What they set out to fix at the end of seventh ed is back with a vengeance in less than two years. I actually still feel like I was ripped off buying most of the 40k rule books.
I see your point, having to have a couple of books definitely sucks. I just feel that given the choice between that and having to wait years between updates as was the old way, I will take some rules bloat.

I have actually really enjoyed the Psychic Awakening approach in 40k. It has breathed new life and excitement into armies that were most likely years away from getting traditional updates. Just imagine if a Psychic Awakening style AOS supplement dropped some new battalions and other goodies for older armies like Legions of Nagash, would be sweet!!!!!

Did you try with washes ? Before Constrast paints came out, I wanted to paint the hundreds of Night Goblins I own with washes following this guy's technique :
I have other armies that I have gotten up to tabletop standard, but goblins were always one of favorites, so I want to really knock them out of the park and take the entire army to my highest standard. That's a great idea but the daunting reality of that has kept them all gray.
-
I have been pretty good at getting most of my stuff painted, but my big grey shame is my goblin army. I keep wanting to make them my highest level painted army but that has just resulted in my pushing them off and never starting. So now I have over 4,000 points of shame.

The quarantine has been painting nirvana for me. I have had an extra hour or two a day to sink into the hobby and it has paid off. Splitting time between AOS and 40K projects, I have finished 20 Ork boys and and almost 20 clan rats (what can I say I have been in horde mode). Have also cranked out a couple super heroes for Marvel Crisis Protocol as palate cleansers (Modok and Red Skull).

Hey, how many Flayers do we need to own yo build a competitive list centered around them ? Is 9 enough?
Thanks !
9 is the bare minimum and probably not quite enough. The Deadwatch battalion makes you run three units and if you are super Flayer heavy you probably need at least 3 units of them for battle line too. That puts you at 3 units if 3. Ok but not optimal. Most of the competitive Blisterkin builds run units of 6,3 and 3.

I don’t mind the new ads a bit. They asked for donations, probably did not get enough, then put up some ads to cover their costs. I got no problem with that whatsoever.

Most matt varnishes are not that durable. The most common practice for a good hard seal is to hit a model with a good gloss varnish (which is much more durable) then put a coat of matt varnish on over that to get rid of the shine.

Test model for some Iron Jawz to go along with my Bonesplitterz in a Big Waaagh. Was a blast to paint up and was happy with how he turned out. Just need to start grinding on his friends.

Looks like Big Waaghhh lists are picking up steam. This weekend Big Waaghh lists took the top spot at both the New Zealand Masters and Frozen Empires. Here are both the list from the Honest Wargamer: https://thehonestwargamer.com/aos-results-2nd-december-2019/
Really interesting that neither list runs Gordrakk but instead builds Waaghh points with Chanters and Shamans. One list is mostly an Ardfist build splashing 30 Arrowboyz while the other is basically an Ironjawz Ironfist build. I like that the Waaghh is getting some good play now, though the Bonesplitterz player in me wishes these lists had more naked orcs in them.

Not exactly AOS related, but I bought the new Marvel Crisis Protocol starter box and spent last night putting the models together and holy cow they made me remember how spoiled we are with GW kits. The models are pretty nice but so dang fiddly I was cursing like a sailor the entire time I was getting the things assembled.

Maybe I’m crazy....but has anyone thought about running a huge unit of 8 Mournfang? I know it’s a lot more than the same wounds worth of Gluttons, but with the right buffs I think it could be worth it. This would probably hinge on getting the Huskard +1 to wound prayer going tho. Not exceptionally reliable. Thoughts?
I am really interested in running them in the Eurlbad battalion for the juicy exploding 6s additional mortal wounds. A pack of 6 and a pack of 4, with the Butcher to buff them with the +1 attack for more juicy 6s.

It really hasn't really impacted me too much at all. This is my chosen hobby and the aesthetics of the models and my collection preferences drive my purchases much more than price variations. I picked up the new Beastgrave Ghoul box because ghouls are one of my first loves. I will pass on the new bone boys not because of the price but because the models do not appeal to me. On the 40k side I have had an Eldar army for 10 years so the new box Craftworld stuff has been a long time coming for me. I have held off on the Primaris stuff merely because I am waiting for the inevitable Blood Angels release. When they drop I will cross the Primaris Rubicon. So for me, the driving force is still just my taste and collections.

As a new BCR player are you planning on using gargant hackers or other weapons now? I can't seem to figure out which is best now.
I would say the Prey Hacker and Ironfists are the way to go. The traditional problem with MF was that they whiffed a lot of the time. So the Hackes with 3 attacks 3 up, 3 up no rend 2 damage seems much better that 2 attacks 4 up 3 up -1 rend 3 damage. Especially in with the Eurlbad battalion that gives additional mortals on 6s, I think the move will be to throw out as many attacks as possible.

Looking over the stuff as mostly a BCR player and a couple thing look good:
Mournfang, looking legit now with the upgrades and the buffs we can get on them.
Eurlbad battalion: Additional mortal wounds on 6s from melee attacks for the whole battalion, for 140. Yes please. This thing seems like a no brainer. All my initial thoughts have started there.

Man I am loving some of those alternate paint jobs. Especially, the ivory bone with amber looking blades. Makes these models pop a lot more for me.

Man this future release from Punga minatures has me stoked. This is a vampire pirate fantasy football team but the conversion potential is fantastic. I think the kickstarter is supposed to get going soon.
