What he said below And it was a good book for understanding Slaanesh more than just what gets written online by trolls stating "Slaanesh is just drugs and sex". I highly recommend that read.
-
Well that is a bit of an overstatement. The use of a single Razorgor and Great Eagle was more defined by the mechanics of the rules of previous editions. They lack synergy but there is nothing stopping anyone from taking a single Razorgor and making use of it. Also I imagine they and the finecast model will be dropped from the game. I get you are angry (I have 30 years of Wood Elf models) but I think things just changed here. There are a few factors involved.

I used Scyla a lot in 8th because he had LD 10 which was nice to bring to a Throgg army. Malagor would be awesome. I miss him. I felt he was a good nod towards Tzeentch. Oh nice!! I used the KHorne formation from the Godbeasts(?) book a while ago. (3 x Gorbull units, 3 x Ghorgons) I just paid 200 or 250 points for it. We played to the scenario as well. Not having points for that was pretty dumb on GWs part. Fingers crossed

I concur. Anyone could easily add some oversized mushrooms to a classic troll and produced a nicer model. Feel free to go back to to Freebooterz and 'Ere We Go and see what Squigs were originally envisioned as. The trolls around 5th and 6th ed are nice indeed. Granted,.. also cartoony. You mean, gives us older collectors our armies back ? After BoC getting some love I wouldn't be surprised to see some sort of HE book but the rumours of Light vs Dark aelves kinda kills that. This post makes it sound like you've been in this hobby for 2 years. No offense, just,.. this is how armies used to be. Your picture is from 2010 and the final cut of that sprue has the 2014 date stamp. So he showed up in the 5th ed Lore first, then the daemon suppliment PDF or whatever it was? A model in Storm of Chaos and then GW has kept him in fairly high ish profile for a one-off. Gotrek and Felix book, a couple rules packs via the Advent calendar and isn't compendium. I would say GW could indeed keep Be'lakor alive since Daemons just respawn.

Well those operate differently. With the newly named Unpredictable Destruction and an MSU style play you would probably lean too heavily on the one doombull and that's not the true horde style. It isn't uncommon to have Doombulls hitting and wounding on 2s already. How did you get a Chaos Sorcerer lord in a Warherd or Brayherd army? Sounds like generic chaos? In the Path to Glory supplement they were all under BoC and while not good I played them a bit (excuse to finish painting the Shaggoth). I have to admit, seeing BoC gives me hope for Wanderers, etc. GW figuring out if they write a book, players with armies will buy their stuff. Imagine that. I think chaos trolls are definitively gone. You are probably write for Flock of Doom and Call of the Wild. Granted,.. you could do it now? He would fit in AoS really well IMO. Not strictly the moonslieb lore but just that style of character and some Mortal Wound comet damage would be good. He would be awesome. There is a Pestigor in the Bloodbowl team and in 40k in the Death Guard codex there are fluff comments about them. A LOT of people did. GW has missed the boat on them for years They also became Monsters of Chaos and lost a keyword in the procress on top of what Frozenbeast said. Granted I own 15 and Ghorros and miss that army. Me too. Wanderers have 3 Heroes that change what can be BL and honestly,.. it just makes sense. You could in 6th.

The spell Stoke Rage in Chamon is good for Warhead. +1 to charge and wound. Bonus attacks on 4+ at that point.

Found 3 photos of the conversion. There is also a pencil drawing of Aenerion vs a Keeper from the 6th edition HE army book. You may find this http://www.dunkelelfen-georc.de/HTML-Dateien/Naggaroth English/HTML-Dateien/Bilderseiten/Einheiten Ed6/Keeperofsecrets.htm usefull for converting the face. My Keeper is the 1987 bull head one so I'm still fond of that look but I do quite like some reimagining. With FW giving the big ol' FU to anyone outside of the UK this conversion is now more appealing.
-
I like the show, dislike the make-up names like "kitty caters". The host needs to tighten up that for clarity of the audience. Are the Cygors doing anything for you? I prefer Ghorgons but I've yet to face lots of spells yet (mellow local meta). Cogs benefits Bullgors nicely particularly as you're likely not getting 1st turn and not facing an alpha strike list. Ironically the Herdstone would help making me wonder if a really big unit of Bullgors with the Cogs in a Brayherd army is more the way to go. What are your thoughts on 6 man units? I prefer MSU and have noticed other long time players trying it but I'm always keen to hear if people find the extra bodies helpful. Good luck in your games
-
In the Warseer days Hastings would call that "lazy CAD sculpting"
-
I feel with coupling the "primal" keyword, from the endless spell, with the Hammerhal and the rumour about Brayherds we are due soon. A well done battletome would move a lot of product regarding Brayherd, sadly they have finecast chariots, and past infantry are lacking without putting the umbrella of "beasts of chaos" up. A better integration of Brayherd and Warherd at least would solve the issues.
-
Well it at least removes one of the hits still and can make a unit "fish for 6s".
-
That is pretty darn cute.
-
It is generally a good podcast and listen. Silly me that tidbit was at the end of your podcast which I made it through to and I got it wrong Please keep talking about Sylvaneth For those old enough to remember Confrontation by Rackham the "Wood elves" weren't elves and trees but elves and bugs. I tossed all my old catalogs years ago but I wonder if we'll see anything from that range mimicked in any future Sylvaneth releases.
-
It would be 20 sisters. And I agree, I would never take more than 30 GG, for that -3 rend (hearing Rhelion on the Facehammer podcast say Nagash has a spell or item to ignore rend means GG just became a little more outdated as we move along) and 2 or 3 x 10 Sisters (if you wanted the battalion. I still love my Glade Guard (having owned 90 at one point) and they are still fun models to paint. I did the same math over 5 turns (I used a Nomad Prince though). Sadly I started to see the appeal of the 90 Ungor Raider list and why one of the forumers is doing well in tournaments with that list and how Wanderers are lacking. Tempted to convert my GG to Raiders.
-
I am genuinely interested to see if you find 3 Treelords effective. I wish the Lords of the Clan gave them better bonuses. I miss the classic Treelord as a threat on the table. Keep us/me posted
-
They have speed and combined with Hellstriders can be -2 to hit. If you want to hold something up that is effective. I used to use them for that purpose in GHB2017. I used a block of 6 heavily in 8th ed and really liked them back then, and even in 6th and 7th ed 40k so I have the models. I picked up, from somewhere, a tournament player using 2x3 as a utility unit. Not sure if that person would still be using them in GHB2018. They sure lack dmg output. I was wishlisting they would come out with a mtd alluresses Monstrous Cav unit of them long ago. Or even a Chariot pulled by one. Just to see something different.
-
One thing to consider is the Glade Guard models are 13 years old, the Sisters are 4. The aesthetic of the Sisters fits more with modern AoS armies and would look not-out-of-place on 32 mm bases. The GG show their age compared to more recent elf kits. As far as rules it is the alpha strike vs long game.
-
On they latest S&Ws podcast there was mention of Ben Johnson stating there are more waves for Deepkin, Sylvaneth and someone else. They speculated the idea of using the beetle and swarm motif more in the range. If there was a mention of more waves for existing armies by a key person at GW the picture could align with the guess of a bug-like unit.
-
Right. Even Winterleaf, you have Dryads which are combat punch. Trying to find a way to work my 30 Wardancers into my Sylvaneth
-
Called it. GW does a good job making hints align with past references. Well... Glad you came around Back in they days of the Herdstone forum people joined pretty much to the end of 8th ed stating "the infantry models are really appealing and I started for the aesthetic", etc. The 2003 Gor sprue stands up fine as a classic plastic kit and the 2010 version still makes for purdy units.
-
They can take Deepkin now (I missed that)? I guess that makes sense since they've written a short story to back date them.
-
The claws add +2 DMG.; so on 5+s to wound a bonus attack is generated and that is 4 dmg. I wasn't aware of the Chaos GA item. It sounds like they are quite similar. I've found my Doombulls with Great Axes to be very destructive as well. Kudos yours is earning its fame as well The unit doesn't have much in the way of reach. If Great Weapons had a 2" reach, being on 50 mm bases, I would say 6 are good. If you throw 2 x 3 at an enemy unit the enemy has to split attacks. I tend to divide my army up into 3. Each has 3 Bullgors, a Doombull and a Ghorgon. I'll throw all of these at an enemy all at once. The enemy unit has to divide up its attacks and often leaves at least something holding up that enemy unit. Just an MSU throwback to 6th ed Khorne Beasts of Chaos lead by a Doombull
-
I have little faith in the rumour. People are over-hyping it and even the OP has stepped back on it, a couple times now. However, Primal Fury was the rule for Beastmen in 8th and the news released used Primal which I feel is significant enough in drops with rare and subtle clues. And I 100% agree with you about GW not releasing a Chaos Dwarf endless spell for a FW army that isn't being converted to plastic any time soon. My money is on Beasts of Chaos (using the Path to Glory umbrella). I would suggest a Jabberslythe or two. IMO they are a missing key to that army which is reliable mortal wounds on something you can't deal with. You probably don't want to ambush the entire army. And it doesn't hurt to leave a cheap 40 ungor screen around a couple casters, particularly with Realm lores being known but all wizards. I don't recall who does the Mojogorox armies but he tweeted an interesting list. Realm of Beasts, use the Claws of Anrahier on a Doombull with 2 HWs. 5 attacks and 6+ is a bonus 2 dmg. Since he'll generate bonus attacks on a 5+, he seems like a good utility tool. Ghur has a couple other good options for artifacts for Warherds. The other thing about his list is MSU 3-bullgor units. I've been a fan of this for a while. I know people like 6-12 man units for bodies but lacking reach I feel 2 x 3 units vs the enemy is a better option than a single 6 man unit. Oh and he took Cogs. But, like Slaanesh, lacking a good option to get a +1 /+2 stacked in there it seems more like just gambling.
-
I wouldn't look into this much past, the kit sold out due to a few different reasons. It happens fairly frequently. Stuff gets restocked after a while. It is a global company with AFAIK 2-3 manufacturing plants.
-
After David Guymer tweeted about including Wardancers in a Deepkin army for his upcoming novel I've been thinking about allying 30 Namarti Thralls and using my Wardancer models. They wouldn't get the synergy but they would have nice offence.
