Uveron

That fits into the stories that have been told to the USA sales team that the reason there are so many products not available is that the factory upgrades have lowered current capacity!

Home from work for a few days, and wife's taken the kid to up to see family early for thanksgiving so I get to spend evening painting these guys Lets see how much I can get done!

Looks like some type of fallen stormcast... just what we need!

So, what do people think about the reviled books at the Black Library Weekender? Looks like a pair of good books, but not sure how they tie to other possible releases

TBH, Other than the Overlords, we have had few brand new armies. All other forces have at their core a set of older models. Which means sales will always be undermined by 2nd hand markets.

The best solution for the Pox Walker kit, is to put out a upgrade pack that can be used with existing 40k models for them.... and then in AOS for Zombies. I doubt it will happen but its the elegant solution.

Iam kinda skeptical of that.. as we have 4 other known warbands for Shadespire that dont include anything Elven. If it is Elven then it would make sense that its for AOS. That beeing said, It could be 40K exodites, or Shadespire Stormcast bowmen.

The Quiver could be Vanguard-Hunters for shadespire? But my guess is Elves.

Vampires sometimes have fancy hats...

Looking Good! Love to see some of the older Skeletons in the mix! I wish I had 80 Skeletons, sounds like you need another 40 more! So that could be a problem! (For 3 blocks at max size!)

Given the slow removal deadhold, I think it could be soon!

You can do that? I thought it was all or one at a time? Do you have a page reference?

This is what I am trying to deduce at the momen; to build a list that will stand a chance of geting to the top tables of a major event do you need a battalion for the extra flexibility on number of drops. It kinda feels as long as you are not paying more than 200pts for a Battalion and keeping your army so that it can be set up in less than 5 drops (Bonus if you can go to over 10), you are setting yourself up well to be able to control the flow of the game.. which is worth the points.

Greetings So I have been spending my days recently thinking about what I want my 2018 tournament army to look like for Age of Sigmar. In all likeyhood the army will be some type of Chaos force (Probably Khorne). But I am becoming stuck; just how useful are Battalions in the current game? I do suppose it changes from build to build, but it appears that the best preforming lists all use them. I expect this is a matter of opinion, and depends on the faction of you’re the army? (And the Battalion..)

That's just the cycle of the industry. In my local area they AOS is picking up steam. And they havent been silent.. as I said they talked about the production issues to staff and it is being talked about here.. Ah well, I will get of my soap box now and let everyone get back ' to thinking the sky is falling'.

They can dress it up a lot more in the finacial reports, and hide the lack of new models behind other stats. AKA with the pile of new 40K codex's hitting shelves I dont think they will be making any less profit, which is the bottom line. By just talking about it without explaining the whole plan to keep parting us with our money, the stock takes a hit.

By telling the retail staff they basicly have! any more open they risk the stock price.

I think it cannot be understated about the size of production problems facing GW. I have had a number of sources tell me that retail teams have been brifed on it and to expect a slow down in the release schedule for new plastics. Major work has to be completed in the factory. As such we basically can expect one thing, More products being made in China. So Books and Scenery Kits. Which is basically what we have been getting the last 6 months. And the fact retail teams have been brifed makes me think we could have another 6 months of wait before the work is finished! Still what we get now is a avalanche of products compared to 2000..

Overall: So the first month of the league is over, all but 4 of the games have been played. (72% Completion Rate). Two players have max points; only one player who’s played hasn’t won a game! Currently Chaos is leading the event, and the rest of the factions are about equal. I cannot be happier with the uptick in Age of Sigmar play in the group. Personally: I got to play a pair of games. The first was against an order list based around the old high elf army. It was the players first game of AOS so I tried to play nice, but even so I the game was a bit one sided. Not going to do a blow by blow of this game. The second game was against a death army, playing battle of the pass against a more experienced player. His list was a Unit of 40 Skeletons, 10 Grave Guard, 1 Wright King, Necomancer and Tomb Wraith. (I think that was the whole list). On one flank his Grave Guard, Necomancer and Wraith moved up the table on the other the Skeletons and Wright King made their move up the table they were met my army also broken into groups. The Deamonprince, Wolves, And Blood Warriors moved up one flank to meet the Grave Guard, the Marauders and Aspiring Deathbringer moved up the on the flank towards the Skeletons. (The Blood secretor sat on my objective in my territory. The units collided in turn 2. But the Death Army failed to important charges (the Wright King, and Tomb Wraith), and my Blood warriors also failed. The Graveyard destroyed the wolves, but the Demon Prince put out enough damage to wipe of the squad. In the fight of the large mobs the Skeletons didn’t close well and they only killed 8 of them; in return the marauders and the Aspiring Deathbringer took out over 20 of them. In battleshock phase the Grave Guard and Skeletons were removed. In the turn 3 the mop up was conducted, the with the game being called before initiative was rolled in turn 4. Over all quite happy with the performance of the list.. will talk about it more in a future post.

Greetings, Today I shall focus my attention on the final list I want to have available to me my 1250pt list. Again like my 1000pt list it’s not exactly what I want but it is the models I have painted at the moment. And I do not play with unpainted models! == Leaders Aspiring Deathbringer – General: Command Traits: Great Destroyer - (Bloodaxe and Wrath Hammer) Bloodsecrator Daemon Prince - Deamonic Axe, Wings. Artefacts: Daemon Weapon. Bloodmaster, Herald of Khorne Units 40 x Chaos Marauders – Axes and Shields. Mark of Khorne. 5 x Blood Warriors – Goreaxes and gorefists 20 – Bloodletters Bullgors – Twin Axes 10 x Chaos Warhounds == I plan on running this list using the Chaos Allegiance, as until I hit the 1500pt level the Khorne one provides little benefit. So currently this is the same as my 1000pt list with the edition of a block of 20 Bloodletters. These along with the Bloodmaster gives me a second unit to aggressively score objectives with. But it does leave me with 30pts left over.. I have to the end of the year to get guys painted so I could add 30 Blood Reavers, or any of the other hero’s from the AOS starter box! What would you add?

Thanks!

Greetings. So I wanted some feedback on how I am scoring the games of the league. These are my objectives: Reward players to play with painted armies Reward players to play as many games as they can Do not punish players who cannot play all games To deal with this mixed bag of objectives, I established two paths to victory. And I will be giving awards for the player who scores the most points, and the player who scores the best average point. At the end of every game I will award the following points: 4 points will be awarded for a major victory. 3 points will be awarded for a minor victory. 1 point will be awarded for a draw. 0 points is awarded for any type of loss. 1 extra point will be awarded if photos of the fully painted army are posted to the club Facebook page (2 extra points will be awarded for a ‘battle host’ game) The Average points score will be calculated by dividing the total points scored, Providing 6 more games have been played, less than that the Average points will be one 5th of the total points. So looking for feedback; If you were doing this would you score points differently? If so how?

Greetings, I thought I would take a moment to talk about battlefield terrain. A key part of the Dark Shadows campaign pack was a page that described the battlefields of the Fens of Albion. I thought that I should try and recreate the table for the campaign. A number of these items will require me to spend time working on building Terrain for the tables. == The Battle Fields of the: ' Shrouded Fens’. When setting up the Terrain for a game of age of sigmar using the Time of War: Ghur: ' Shrouded Fens’ rules it is recommend to try and uses Terrain features that match these following list. A Myiscial Ruins: more than one section of Ruins representing the remains of the fallen kingdom. Fetid Swamps and Morasses – Areas of Stagnant Pools and Rotting Vegetation: This feature should not block line of sight but is considered Dangerous in all weather conditions Small Lakes– An area of open water. These are Impossible to cross. Broken Moorland – Rocky outcrops and bushes. Fen – A area of water and odd tree.. Should not block line of sight but will slow charges. Woods == Additional features like Rivers and Hills are also good, but the key thoughts are to provide Terrain that will not block line of site but slow movement down. I am going to try and work on building Terrain for the league. It should also be noted that because the factions actions within the Shrouded Fens, areas which have more traditional battlefield aspect can be found.

Greetings! So this week I was able to get up my local game store and get some games in. (Sadly not league games) but I gave me an opportunity to take some photos Due to the large number I took I have hid them behind Spoilers to make it manageable. Aspiring Deathbringer! Chaos Hounds! Chaos Marauders!! Blood Warriors (pre-Snowbase)!! The Full Warband!! Temple of Skulls!!

Well I played my first game with Gareks Reavers this week at my local GW store. The game played well, the primary hurdles that needs to be overcame by the Reavers is making sure you can get an early glory point. Upgrades to improve damage is very important! The stormcasts are able to one shot most of the Reavers , it takes time for us to do the same. And landing them with a lot of hits is a good way to make them inspired. So you need to pick a guy to be the target of the buffs use the other reavers to screen him, and work hard on getting as many objectives in round one! At the start of the game skip ones that require you to kill anyone, securing objectives in the first round is good. Once you have the glory then you can focus on takeing out one of the golden boys, focus the whole warband one at a time. well they are my intial thoughts.
