  1. I shared my Hedonites in the painting thread but I saw people were sharing them here too, so I hope it's okay for me to give you all some photos of the things i've painted since March.

    I think the tome sounds fun, but also I am not a comp AoS player. I adore the models, and that is 90% of my investment in any army. I have only painted mortals yet, but I have 10 Hellstriders on the way, and then after that I think i'll look at the daemon half for summon/list variety. I have very much enjoyed painting this stuff, it's been the first AoS army i've really fallen for since Maggotkin when I started out a few years ago. Shame the tome isn't landing with a lot of people, when all this lockdown stuff ends, I am looking forward to getting my army to the table! 

     

    Anyway, photos, which is what people care about!

    Predictably, Glutos is too big to fit into the army shot, so here he is, in all his excessive glory.

    Hey guys, I've been getting back into warhammer for the past 8 or so months since last playing back in 6th edition. I've meddled with both stormcast and nurgle and have decided to focus on my nurgle force and practice improving my game sense and tactics. 

    I've mainly been playing as a mortal nurgle army, mostly a rotbringer force. I want to experiment with some demons and I know plague drones seem to be rated as a pretty core unit for demon armies.  One question I did have about them is that the warscroll says the drones attack with either their probiscous or their mouthparts. Do you need to choose which attack to use or can you use both attack profiles?

     

     

    I believe it’s dependent on how they are modelled - foul mouthparts are the smaller heads, proboscis is the long trunk heads 

  3. Stacking debuffs sounds fun, I have had fun in the past with Favoured Poxes (I believe?) but this is my first time running a rotbringer/mortal sorcerer so I had kind of assumed Blades was a Given?

     

    Will have to have a think and a few games when I have her and my last 3 drones painted. Will DM you for sure.

  4. I dunno if it was mentioned here but GW said Adepticon would be their biggest showing ever this year, my very hasty finger-math reckons they could get enough articles out of the remaining revelaed Lumineth models (2 on horses, 2 on teclis, 2 on Eltharion) to save any new stuff until then.

     

    Hang on, I am dumb. They're Bi-weekly. So... 1 for each of those kits :D

    Really liked your write up! Some friends of mine are going to LGT and they had 2 Teams full and one Team at3 players... so they roped me in. that means I have to do a LOT of training to actually learn AoS properly, but I don't intend to win, just have a good time as I have a very poor Maggotkin collection. I might post my current list here to see what you can think of to improve it, witht he caveat that I am sure it's a terrible list but money and my Masters course will keep me from expanding it big time in the future :D

     

    Actually here's the list so far. No Relics yet as I haven't really figured that side out. I think i'll be taking Munifcent Wanderers from the new WotE book, but not 100% yet cos I think it locks you into a subpar relic?

    Leaders
    Great Unlcean One  w/Bell and Bile Blade - 340
    Fecula Flyblown & the Wurmspat - 180

    Poxbringer - 120
    Harbinger of Decay - 160

    Battleline
    30x Plaguebearer - 320
    10x Putrid Blightkings - 320
    5x Putrid Blightkings - 160

    Other Units
    6x Plague Drones - 400

    The vague plan is to use the PBs as a big anvil, especially with the Munificent Command Ability that does mortals if they are attacked in Melee, whilst using Fecula as a tanky wizard (she can pass wounds off to her bodyguard) to use Blades on the Drones or Blightkings - whichever unit needs it more. Harbinge is there to hit the DR onthe BKs if they need it, otherwise that CP will be used by the GUO to give the Drones Grandfather's Joy  - Poxbrigner is doing Locus duties. It's probably a shambles of a list, but the rest of my collections is basically - all the other smaller heroes for nurgle (No Glottkin or maggoth) and Rotigus, 9 nurgling bases, and some Slaves to Darkness stuff. I could be tempted to swing elsewhere with units but I am not painting 80 or even 40 marauders!

    Following the teachings of Teclis, the Lumineth also learned to communicate with, and even channel, the geomantic spirits of Hysh – specifically those of the mountains, rivers, wind and zenith. This affected every aspect of their existence, from the knowledge they accumulated to the way they fought and the magic they employed.

    I think it's an Elven hammer, and that the Army will have units that represent Mountains, Rivers, Wind and Zenith - not only in magic, but in martial inspiration as well.

  7. Hullo,

    I play AoS in a non-competetive setting primarily, and have just bought into beasts of Chaos a little becuase their Battalions will let me buy and paint up the two greater daemons I like (LoC, KoS).

     

    The announcement of the new Ogroid model seems like a prime Doombull conversion (as mentioned above) but I was wondering about Bullgors - are Great Axes really the way to go? Do dual axes not to as much work, if not more due to the better roll to hit?

     

    Cheers in advance!

  8. It's been a very long time since I graced these pages and I am going to be taking the time to have a look at everyone's work ASAP

    Currently working on reinforcements for my Maggotkin, so here's my latest hero model, probably the best thing i've painted so far

  9. 100% gonna get something concrete on the Idoneth in my opinion, if only because the DoK Battletome will be in people's hands by then and it will be weird to have the allies list available to everyone who doesn't follow the online stuff.
