Awesome work and congrats on the painting nom at Heat 1. In great company there looking at Twitter!

These are great. Ironically a very clean painting style for Nurgle... Did you paint the axe head's cutting surface all silver / steel or is it the way it's catching the light?

Ah I see, without a helmeted option. Then yes, I think you have it with that short list.

There's not a sub-forum for Skirmish, but there are a number of threads in the Narrative sub-forum, although I don't think anyone would mind if you posted in the General Discussion section (Moderators might give you a better stear on this). Skirmish points are calculated slightly differently, although at the beginning of this thread there is a rough calculation you can use to work out Renown values. The Skirmish Rule Book is £6.00 and you combine this with the free pdf download 4 pages of AOS rules. The pre-built Skirmish Warbands are £40.00 from Games Workshop and probably a good place to start if you like any of the armies involved. In theory, you could spend £86.00 (assuming that you have some of the other essentials like glue, clippers, dice, etc.) and have everything you needed to play.

Neave Blacktalon, Gavriel Sureheart, Hunter Prime, Pallador Prime, Knight Errant and the Knight Aquilor has a no helmet option. Might be more, but those are the ones that came to mind. Talking of rumours, has anyone heard anything about the power supply upgrade at the GW production centre? I don't see two new armies in January without this being resolved, as it's been cited as the reason for production slowing down in the back half of last year. Granted we may have placed more importance on this than necessary (who us, endlessly speculating based on a few scraps of information?! ), but it seems like a stumbling block that I've not heard about being removed.

Looking good. Really like the controlled, limited colour palette you've used and looking forward to seeing the application of the warpaint. Thinking of doing something similar with a the Shadespire Skeletons, so will be watching with interest. Keep it up!

Man that Giant is so cool. Loving all the pics, even the ones I've already seen, so keep 'em coming (in case you were thinking about stopping...)!

Thanks @kubermann, that's pretty handy. Lacks the subtelty of edge highlighting in different colours for example, but really solid for getting a feel for what colours would work together. Great resource.

Those are some beautiful armies gents, should probably be the advert for games at Warhammer World!

Yeah, I like it so far, the only thing that I'd like them to add is a blank model that you can colour each section of and try out different colour combinations next to each other. I'm not sure if this would mean that they would have to paint a spacemarine for example with every colour scheme they list, so you could select the different sections, but It'd be a great feature.

Yeah, only just properly had a look at this map, and I suspect I'm just around the corner Will PM in a bit, been meaning to reach out to the South London Legion as well, so two birds and all that! Cheers

Yeah, I'll definitely give that a spin and particularly like the real life colour matches. I've got a bunch of photos on my phone of things I've taken pictures of that I might try and recreate for various armies if I ever get around to doing them and, while I could probably eyeball them with reasonable accuracy, if this works well, why wouldn't i do it?

Ah good stuff, I wondered whether they might be by far the more undesirable side of the deal, but I guess we still have to wait and see what other potential new goodies for Nurgle there might be as well. Glad it's potentially a good foundation.

I'm slightly disappointed by the Nurgle side of the box. Horticulous is obviously awesome, but not so sure about the rest. Would you consider two Nurgle halves of the set if you wanted a Nurgle army? Stormcast side is great though, have had my eye on the Vanguard for a little while and this looks like a nice start and Black Arrow could be a beast. Bonus attacks / to hit / to wound against characters maybe if the description is anything to wildly speculate from?

I was excited about Shadespire, then I saw my man in the red fall asleep playing it and I started to reconsider...

I completely agree, you'd just have to find the greater evil. At the moment there isn't one that could cause Duardin and Orruks to unite, but in the past Sigmar and Gorkamorka did, so it proves that it's possible. 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend' until such time as we don't share an enemy any more!

What if the theme is an uneasy alliance, based on the need for both to exploit a Realmgate, without the cost of destroying each other? An uneasy alliance based on necessity, based on being able to conduct a war on many fronts without being weakened and without unwittingly making Chaos' job easier?

New Squigs!

These are fantastic. Never have the good guys looked so bad! Reckon the Aquilor has definitely had a reforging too many...

Agreed. I think they'd have to do quite a few different cities with good background lore and distinct abilities to make them work, something along the lines of the different Overlord Skyports. I could see it being a cool hobby project for someone deeper into the lore that I, but just struck me as a way a mixed allegiance could work, assuming that they port from P2G to GHB 2017, which is by no means a sure thing.

We know that at least 18 factions are getting Allegiance abilities in GHB 2017, so it's not a long shot to say that these are good bets to pick up new rules. Likely to be more than are mentioned here, as there are obviously some factions that have new abilities already (Khorne, Overlords, etc.). Destruction, Order and Death catch-alls could be interesting. Possibly different city allegiances, like Hammerhall for example, with unique abilities and possibly paint schemes?

The Starpriest is listed in the Skirmish supplement at 16 renown, so has been adjusted by GW based on abilities, forthcoming points, or whatever reason that various units have slightly different renown values. The other has been worked out with the basic formula with no adjustment.

Iron Jawz SC box is a £37.83 saving, so fairly close to the £40.00 mark: 1 Warchanter £18.50 10 Ardboys £21.33 (adjusted from 15) 3 Gore Gruntas £48.00 I don't think that means that we'll see the Magmadroth in the box though, it just seems too expensive a model and it would mean that GW would effectively be cutting the price of a £65.00 kit as literally no one would buy it. At present the most expensive kits in the SC boxes are the Montarch and the Gore Gruntaz, both come in at £48.00, so under £50.00. They represent a a really good saving, but are not below RRP for a single kit, although this may herald a price cut for Fyre Slayers...
