I found it easy to have on in the background. I found Vince's slang annoying as I am not overly familiar with the units they spoke of so hearing a nick name was useless and a detriment to the show.
-
In 8th ed Beastmen had Primal Fury and Primal was a key word hint used in the GW release of the image. The face of the bull doesn't look too dissimilar to the Minotaur/Bullgor head either. And while the Oldhammer Chaos Dwarf spell fits, I can't see an Endless spell for a FW faction.
-
oh for sure. I just don't recall it as well as you :) And yeah it would be nice to see him back, as a strong presence of Chaos driving the Brayherds

I dabbled with on in v1 in my Warherd and he died. I used him a bit more and he died. I guess chucking rocks is kinda cool in his realm, maybe like the kid whose calmly trying to skip rocks at the beach but in game he failed to accomplish anything. Even with the points drop and 30" unbind I would still rather just have a Great Bray-Shaman. I would apply that logic to Slaanesh as well. The Jabberslythe is better when it comes to allying in a Monster of Chaos. There was a guy who took the Cygor kit and made an Exalted. The pictures are blurry and there was a fair bit of green stuff involved but why not just do that? The original KoS had a bull head, two sword arms and two fists. That way you kinda get both in the deal and you can decide through your own play testing which suits you better

I put both on. There are two sections of spites on the arm. Just half and half.
-
Does Alarielle still do that? I thought Ariel did and that was in the Old World. Morghur would be nice. I used him in a tournament at the end of 6th ed with a bunch of Khorne stuff, and then someone terrorbombed me which I hadn't been prepared for. So not Morghurs best outing.
-
No not Kholek. I was hoping the big kit that turned into the Mutalith had been KHolek. He could comeback now in a freak lightening storm and it could be a good release in AoS.
-
Yes. It seems so. Winterleaf or Harvestboon have benefits to Dryad blobs (being based around the unit)
-
I would like to see units like the Beastmaster return. And a large scale Orion. I think the idea of a fast cav unit akin to Glade Riders isn't very AoS-like. Sisters of the Thorn and those Dark Elf mage ones kinda work based on utility. pffft. I started my autumn army in 2005 before it was cool to do autumn; and then saw the copy cats come out like mad. Since then I've switched back cause I have some good recipes for green and brown. After seeing that I immediately got out my old one (the autumn theme ) to finish. I used to use the twins on an eagle in 8th. The most interesting thing to note there is the 60mm round base. Only have the wing membranes and horns and teeth left. I know they won't get the Wanderer keyword but it will be enough for me to just play the girls on the dragon for kicks. Oh GW you keep missing the boat on bridging those players with models they really love back into AoS.
-
I see Shaggoths show up time to time. And with a "heal" spell for a caster. I've never made one work, but my experience was limited to Path to Glory. I feel Daemonic Power would really suit a Shaggoth well. Hastings had a rumour back in 8th that he saw CAD of a Monstrous Beast (old 8th ed classification) sized Centigors but never saw anything past that. My guess is they were shelved and I am wondering if this Brayherd rumour is true for Sept, that would be something GW could resurrect. From time to time I wonder about revisiting the Dakka Dakka rumour tracker again to see if stuff from Pre-AOS made it to AoS. I get the sense that Kurnoth Hunters may have been such a unit.
-
I'll admit to being salty. The cynicism is GW will once again not get Beastmen, not give them marks and water down what players want. People went to the Herdstone monthly saying "I love the models" and got a fairly weak army GW neglected. but yes, Irrelevant what I think cause GW will indeed do what they do. I can't miss too much the old world as it is dead and AoS armies are indeed quite different (I don't miss Dwarf gunlines at all) and all for the better.
-
Much thanks guys.
-
Yes BLs site but I often just buy them through iTunes or iBooks on my phone. Guy Haley just admitted here Interview that there are 3 more parts to the Wanderer Nomad Prince planned/in the works, in addition to the digital short story and audio drama. He touches on the character. The love story revolving the outcast or wandering aelf.
-
What changed that the masque is now more popular? Or was just the movement shenanigans that useful in the past but people didn't take her much? Just looking for insight on her.
-
They pair very well with Sisters of the Thorn as the +2 save dance (and if in cover) means they are bouncing mortal wounds back on a 3+. Re-rolling saves too. The classic 1987 models alone mean that's an option worth looking at. Honestly hard to say but I would be more shocked if you didn't get a good 3-4 more years of playing them. GW is stocking stores with the kits. That alone is significant as shelf space is key in a retail store. Guardians of the Forest was a Graham MacNeil novel released in August 2005 for the reboot of the army. Guy Haley has done both a short story and audio drama on a Nomad Prince (who rides a great stag) set in the current time line that is quite good. Buy them both to support more Wanderer stuff (Guy has indicated he wants to continue with the character).
-
I don't want that. It is a dumb idea. Beasts of Chaos a la Path to Glory was a better focus or grouping. It makes no sense to add two horde armies. "hey kids? did you want your favourite goat men to be the meat shield of marauders? here is some salt instead of ice cream." Brayherds needs a better merging of some heavy hitters or synergy and battalions, they don't need marauders. Oh they need marks back too.
-
@Mirage8112 I've been looking at Ironbark for a bit and thinking about the viability of a 30-man Tree Revenant unit. A buddy takes 30-man thralls (while they have a fair bit that differs them) it was something I've been tempted to try. Or do you think this is just not wise?
-
This is an overstatement of a declaration. There were a multiple people who knew about AoS. Both Hastings and Harry as well as lots of others knew AoS was coming. I'll stay skeptical given the rumour thread is mostly discussing stuff GW has released. In the end I would be pleasantly surprised for a Brayherd book but I'm not holding my breath. Also anyone can predict Slaanesh (early) 2019. Just look at the pattern of the other chaos armies.
-
It totally baffled me people argued about this. Citadel woods block LOS and Sylvaneth Wildwoods are made of Citadel Woods. I saw it pretty logical. The FB groups are super heated over it
-
Where did you guys read this? I've been to the dakka dakka rumour tracker thread and I've found things have pretty much dried up regarding rumours. Even if something is leaked (like Rogue Trader for kill team) GW does the official news an hour later.
-
Exodites were an army in Epic. And I think there was a little tidbit in the sketchbook alluding to making them in 40k. I took some cold ones and guardians and made some "Wind riders". You could make an Exodite forest army playable in both games fairly easily Alarielle: Wraithknight Treelord: Wraithlord Spellweaver: Bonesinger/Spirit Seer Treekin/Hunters: Wraithguard (I own 15 Treekin and they are on 40 mm so that worked for me) Wardancers: Harlequin Troupe Shadowdancer: Shadowseer/Troupemaster Great Eagles: Venoms (can't recall the Harlequin transport) I own Alarielle and a Wraithknight anyway but it would mean you show up at the FLGS with one army playable in two games.
-
That is amazing. I never thought of it that way. I always played it the -1 makes the 6. The re-rolls before modifiers really throws me off still. I need to get more used to it. I can see that making sense in a fluff/gaming sense? A non-MW would be a bit of Pleasure from Pain idea. A MW would outright make the hero angry ?
-
Pretty much this. Don't dismiss 80 Ungors either if you can find them. That is 900 points of that army.
-
My thoughts are: I've always wanted one and wish I had the money, time and resources to use one.
-
Yeah me too. Exactly! I think there is a lot to explore with revamping Wanderers as the classic range. A wanderer battalion with a Wardancer hero isn't out of the realm of possibility and having them "shadow strike" or fly up or whatever mechanic and then being harder to hit back would be pretty cool. There is an Opeth song Harlequin Forest and I've always wanted to meld my Wardanders and Harlequins more. I read in that Aeldari Sketchbook that even Jes said the two were the allusion to each other in each game system.
