  1. Thank you. I picked up the idea from an old miniature diorama magazine years ago, then saw people using it on various miniatures and figured it should work well enough. Btw, is the blue on your troggs airbrushed or brush painted? The blend looks really clean.
  2. Evening all (or morning as the case may be) Its great to see more list ideas and wip trogg forces. I've recently come back to my own "bog troggs" and work continues on getting them good and dank. Next up are some fellwater.
  3. Just checking for some clarification on the cloying quagmire spell. As it states SAVE CHARACTERISTIC does that mean a unit with a 4+ save, effected by +1 to save rolls would still require a roll of 4+ to activate? (As the bonus is to the roll not characteristic) Played another nurgle player who tried to convince me otherwise but I'm pretty sure I have it right.
  4. Possible battalions would be an interesting thought. It couldn't be possible to just go "there you go, one battalion for a one drop army, go have fun"
  5. Really hope this army becomes a reality. It could be cool if they added a slightly smaller gargant form that's around the size of the troggboss and then a larger one that's between the gargant and bonegrinder. Either way, gives me an excuse to finish this guy off.
  6. And the great game continues, I'd read it as only effecting marauders and cultists units and disregarded it. Thanks for that
  7. Yeah a few people were running potential lists in front if me today and I had to tell them to re read it....the look on their faces was exactly the same as mine when I first saw it. It almost feels like a faction specific to the "warriors of chaos" style units was just left out.
  8. I think the only reservation I have with this book is that there is no "chaos lord and warriors" type faction inside it. Despoilers is okay but you cant even take a command trait in that one if your not a daemon prince. Feels like a massive missed moment for this book.
  9. @JonnyTheKing I've been thinking of a fun casual list of Lord on karkadrak 2x knights 2x chariots Ruinbringer warband 990 - single drop and nice theme
  10. When making lists for meeting engagements were gluttons cant be taken above 6 models per unit is there still a place for them, or would it be wiser to go ironguts instead for the rend and damage? I still feel the multiple hits on 6's has a place for anti horde as some units can still reach 40 models.
  11. @Agent of Chaos I second the 3+ save on the knights. And as the mawtribes shows they are willing to continue with certain finecast miniatures, then I hope they keep the lord on demonic mount model around as he's one of the best models in the range.
  12. Crossbows took a hit. Lost stand and shoot as well as the ability to gain rend and need to stand still to get an additional shot. They gained 4 inches of range. That hurts after converting 30 of them rather heavily. But the demigryph changes and mortal wound chance for great swords is very welcome.
  13. So I'm going to assume (with a heavy heart) that militia weapons are gone as an option for freeguild guard now. I really hope people are happy for me to still use my unit of 20 as another option. It took forever to model them all. Still this book couldn't have come at a better time. As it pre orders on my local GW stores birthday so I can order that and the stormcast knight questor to go into my city army too
  14. @Batch you would need a third unit of troggs for the battalion but the idea of a souped up troggherd does sound pretty fun.
  15. Evening all Very tempted by a small 1000 point spiderfang army but cant decide which would be better. Shaman on arachnarok 5 spider riders 5 spider riders war party arachnarok war party arachnarok OR change a war party arachnarok for another shaman on arachnarok. difference is 60 points left for endless spells or 20 points for a triumph but more casting?
  16. To answer the original point, No, it is not a requirement of GW or their policy to only play painted armies in store. It is the policy to enforce painted armies at their tournaments. It is however, the right of the manager of any given store to decide what (if any) painting requirements they set in their store. A simple answer to a simple question.
  17. @Maturin thank you. They are cawdor necromunda hangers with various freeguild/brettonian bits mixed in. Super excited for the new battletome. Couldn't have come at a better time either.
  18. @Slackest_Dorf thanks for that, some solid suggestions. I'm going to try out both the gryph feather and amulet and see which makes him more survivable. Also here's a few WIP so far of various members.
  19. Greetings all! I'm currently converting my way through a freeguild project that's designed not to win really but to just look cool on the table. The list currently is composed of General on Griffon General on foot (hand weapon/shield) 20 Guard (militia) 30 Crossbow 10 Greatswords I am at a loss when it comes to artefacts however. Should It be on the Griffon or the foot general? And what would even be worth taking?
  20. At the recent throne of skulls doubles we had to share a single bloodtithe table so the team as a whole got a bloodtithe point for units destroyed not one per player. This was listed in the tournament pack. But the battletome itself makes no obvious reference to what would happen I believe.
  21. I'd love some new chaos ogres (like the warcry model) that fit between the darkoath and chaos warrior aesthetic.
  22. Incarnate elemental of fire - now a greater daemon of chaos undivided (used as an insenate rage bloodthirster) Wish they still sold this guy and the elemental of beasts.
  23. I've been on the fence about this army for a while but these new changes sound interesting. If they introduce an option for megaboss on gore grunta then I think I may just cave in.
  24. So the daemon prince of khorne.... Is it best now to take the sword as his main weapon instead of the axe? Hitting on 2's and -1 rend when he can potentially pile in twice seems far more useful then hitting on 3's with -2. I feel he's either going to be chopping up hordes by tagging a corner or going after hero's with the mortal wound sword so won't need the rend anyways.
