    Thank you for the write-up. I just want to say that it took me an embarrising long time to understand that uYnHP means "until Your next Hero Phase". I thought at first its some kind of Slaan incantation 😄

    But maybe I just destroyed my brain today while trying to come up with a name for my Temple-Ship (I settled on Tsil-Hubhub btw.)

    I actually have it in a box on the first time it is written at page 4, Slann spells (ii). I knew I should have written it at the top of the page but had no room at the time 😅

  2. Hey fellow lizzies. So as I couldn't wait for the actual book to arrive, I took notes of our Allegiances, Traits, Artefacts and Spells. Thought I should share for people that might be interested 😁  I 'll share at all Seraphon platforms.

    Every page is numbered and has a "whole page photo" and then 2 more with half the page zoomed in so it will be as readable as I could get. Kinda suck at taking photos but still think they are readable 😅

    Still missing batallions as I didn't have the time for it. I wrote the notes as careful as I could. If a spell misses the "visible" word for example is because it doesn't need it ( most of them do so it 'll seem weird that one or so doesn't )

    Finally a NEW BOOK ! 

     

    ** Edit : Found the info from the YT Videos by freezing the screen and so on so credits to the guys that uploaded it for us . Used the Dark Artisan video but it's also been uploaded by the Guerilla Miniature Games

  3. @SzPtr I 'm a Troggoth lover myself but my pick is the Mangler. Since you want someone for rerolls after tp and so on, you need something mobile to have a good chance to be close. Another thing that it's gonna help you with, is that you 'll have  a threat that is super mobile AND can fly and thus fly OVER the opponents' screen. This will make him think twice. Also the damage is way more stable and thus way more :P

    Is there any good reasons or thought son taking Squig hoppers over Boingrot Bounderz? I plan on getting the christmas battleforce box to add my budding grot force but I don't plan on running a mono-squigs list. For 10pts less all I can see is they move abit faster and can be battleline, but apart from that the bounderz just seem better in every way.

    I 've tried hard building around them but the difference it's just too big. Riders almost doesnt exist damage wise, worse bravery ( which was already bad to begin with ) 2 saves less  AND their ability works per MODEL which is the final shot to the "maybe I can use them". You can't. Not if you want to have a good fight ( unless the opponent also takes the most random units that are as weak as they can etc ) It is a shame but it is what it is

    Trying to decide between these two color schemes for my grots. I like the contrast of the yellow skin tone with the blue robes but I also love the brightness of the orange. What do you all think.

    Both look amazing but over big units of Grots you should definitely go for the vibrant orange. It will be amazing, good job

    The mechanic is very unforgiving. If it works out is just unbelievebale reliant on the army, that is played. As @Xaszmentioned, we Khorne players just can't take a double turn. In most of the cases we will be shred to pieces, just ebcause the army concept itself is not working good.

    That circumstances give us a clear point, where we lost a game due to a double turn of the opponent. People, who do have mechanics to outcome those ( Stormcast resiliance, Nightuant / LoN uprisign of units for 1CP, etc. ) might not have this issues with the double turns, ut certain armies do.

    And therefore we got to be very anxious about this. If all armies where balanced, then it wouldn't be an issue, but they are not.
    That makes the IGOUGO mechanic a problem for the entire gameplay balance itself.

    Many other games got rid of that IGOUGO aspect and have other options to interact. And those are the way for the future.
    Just as I saied, Bolt Action does have a really good system, where each player can interact with the opponent while playing the game turn.

    That's the way to go.
    And to balance the armies.

    Your realm problem - and unlike the double turn is totally understandable - is the lack of balance between armies. 

    Ideally this must be fixed, agreed. Double turn has nothing to do about it. If the balance won't be fixed, you' ll still lose 95% of games against a top tier army. Only thing that would change is that you 'd lose a couple of turns later - same result. Just waste time. The only thing that double turn does in these situations, is give an extra chance to the underling

  7. @ColonelJay the ETC is being played with "outdated" lists as it's with GH2018  which makes sense as it happens in August and they wouldn't have the time to check the lists etc so when they are published, keep that in mind. It also has many house rules - some of them don't even make sense. For example you MUST take artefacts only from your ALLEGIANCE and not generic order and thus an Order Draconis player with 2 batallions is left without any artefacts at all 😂

  8. Hey everyone, 

     

    So I am interested into buying a wargaming table so I can play AoS at home whenever needed. It definitely has to be foldable so I ll be saving space whenever not playing.

    I know that there are some out there but can’t recall the names of the companies. 

    I would love your suggestions / feedback for a table that works well without spending too much money on it. 

    Thanks a bunch !

    So, despite being a bit standoffish to starting the faction with no real changes, I decided to just go ahead and get started.. after all there will be an update at some point. When taking competitivity into account (as much as Dispossessed can be) I'm going between 2 rough list ideas with the new points changes in mind. I really wanted something with heavy shooting emphasis as my 3rd (and final for awhile) army so I lean more towards the 2nd... but I don't feel that Cannons are worth it when they, on average, will do about 3-4 wounds after saves.

    Anyway, curious to hear thoughts and suggested changes. I'll hold out for that extra wound across the board.

    Both are nice but I am a fun of the 2nd one - and also made a similar list due to this : If the opponent lets you go first, he needs to be afraid of something or else you are losing a whole round without really doing anything. Another thing to keep in mind, is that with all these ultra strong units, having big units is probably not ot our biggest advantage.  A terrorgheist will wipe Breakers even at 20. Better to split them at units of 10 - also more manoeuvrable - and hit the enemy in waves. You can always keep 1 x20 unit of course, but 1 should be the max imo !

     

  10. Mediocre allegiance ? No dice involved, this is a huge improvement. No more gambles. Hope it' ll stay this way. Also 3 out of 6 are useful - 2 are top. This is what happens with all the spell lores pretty much so it;s not like we got the short end of the stick.

    @Calebexnihilo when playing on a tournament that you wanna hit top 3 -> and thus win all the games not some of them, the gamble ain't worth it due to the times you stay still. You can program better this way. Oh, the Cogs are better than ever for us

    Thanks for bearing with me

    Bad lighting but I was in a hurry; finished batch Tomb Banshee, Garkorr and Darrakar (black flames for now)

    Any idea where to find the Guardian of Souls with Mortality Glass?  Does anyone know what happens in the tournaments if you don't have the actual model since it didn't get published everywhere unfortunately ?

    Or do we know whether they sell this in Nottingham ? thanks !

    Hey guys, i was watching a video from Vince , who was inside the seminar fo AoS.

    According to him, GW staff has a plan to have all factions covered with Battletomes in about a year or so. They claimed to have a schedule for it.

    They also said that the tomes may not come as we expect, with merged factions, reimagined ones or mixes of old an new.

    On this questionary GW said they are aware of the public that feel left out without tomes, afraid to dive into the game and be discontinued. They said it is holding AoS back and that their goal right now is to fix it.

    Ps: i dont play Dwarfs, i play High Elf, but i respect you guys for all the perseverance to keep your faction  togheter so i decided to stop by and share the news.

     

    Cheers

    And that was so kind of you - too kind to be expected from a pointy ear person ! Thanks a bunch man, really gives the beardlings lots of hope ( and many more other factions of course ! )

    Thank you very much! :)

     

    Of course you can. You mean the elf i guess. :) So i paint with vallejo colors so i dont know the Citadel color names. So with vallejo you base with the FLAT EARTH and wash it with 50/50 SMOKE and water, then you paint some highlights with DARK SAND and then you shade with again SMOKE and a mix of SMOKE and BLACK at the end. So the caps are the color names, Smoke is a realy realy good and versatile color, its an dark not redish brown, flat earth is an yellowish-orange brown, also very versatile and one of my favorite colors and dark sand is an yellowish bleached bone. ;) i hope this helps, if you got further question just ask.

    Thanks a bunch ! Looking forward to see more of your painting !
