    Probably, like I said it's super blurry. The Hammers of Sigmar ability becomes useless in Matched Play if that's "destroyed" instead of "deployed", who is going to set aside points to bring back Libs?

    Given the composition of the force and the fact it's "On a roll of 6" and IF it says 'restores to full strength', I think we're looking at free libs when you roll 6s.

    If it is points for the libs its only flavour in nonmatched.

    I know this is a publicity measure. I know it's nothing serious.
    Still just had an apoplectic fit over it.
    And at least in theory, I'm in PETA's corner.

    Next up, "Is it okay if my Stareagles aren't free-range?" emoji37.png

    I dont think theyve done their research. There's a real fur trade associated that theyve missed.

    But who is ever giving up kolinsky sable brushes at this point?

    Generally agree with your post, but within reason, I don't see this as being too bad.

    Hmm I am thinking of spam in that sense I think, on reflection. Like 7 people posting the screenshot of the super cool chicken commander like "I know this has been posted already but look again!" So I guess yeah, more spam than just a comment about awesomeness.

    Basically, less negativity!

    I would like to comment on the range options of the current stormcast units.

    The example of the Tempestors and the Crossbow Judicators is a moot point as a 12inch range is no ranged threat and with the stats it has they actually can't do any notable damage. Specifically the Tempestors crossbows are for their -1 to hit debuff rather than actually killing anything...

    The Judicators with the longbows are a very decent unit, but their main saving grace is that they are battleline. Other-wise I don't see them at 160pts being that mauch of a threat as they do an average of 3 wounds on a 4+ save unit. For these points there are better shooting units out there.

    The Prosecutors with javelins are nice but if your shooting unit must enter 18 inches in order to shoot you very much risk them getting charged, arcane bolted etc...

    That said I do not feel the need for more shooting units for stormcasts, but as daedalus81 has said some speed and some long range shooting will help get the Stormcasts away from the need to do Warrior Brotherhood all the time...

    I would just ignore the growing stench of sour grapes from some users. It's not reflective of anything other than a 'look at me, satisfy me' attitude. I don't think it should be allowed in a rumour thread for any release really. Same as repeated comments about how awesome the unit is. Or debates over how to use or not use them in game.

    I am working on Stormcast and Beastclaws and I have a few factions I want to see and some factions I don't like at all and if any of these get releases I'll think the releases are cool. Some will be better than others for me for personal reasons, but each release represents more options for more people.

    I get that people can be frustrated that something they want isn't yet released but unless they're 10 years old they can restrain their twitching fingers from incessant complaints on a rumour thread.

    Go make posts in the discussion area where it can be discussed at length, if it's a lengthy discussion you're after.

  5. A bit like, "Why are stormcast getting another release? Instead of more stormcast why not release nothing, put these stormcast on a shelf, and still release the thing I want when it was due to be released in the first place! Seems like a no brainer to me!"

    :P

    Interestingly, I find the opposite to be true for me. Large flat areas require much more careful blending than areas broken up into sections, like scales.

    Give me a saurus to paint over a marine any day!  ☺


    See I paint each scale like it's a small flat area. So fewer large flat areas work!

    I can only be happy drybrushing fur on mounts, not the scales really.

    We know Duardin are coming.  Patience is a virtue.

    There's a misplaced belief that the release of one thing has stopped work on another. In reality everything sits in its place in a long chain of releases in varying degrees of progress.

    My only issue is the same with all the Stormcast cavalry, way too busy for me to enjoy painting. Cavalry has always been a chore for me in the first place, even though I love the aesthetic, and they're only getting bigger and busier in the mortal realms. 

    Unfortunate the photo is so jaggy, makes it look a bit less clean than it should.

    These standard chargers should be easier than the Dracothian Guard to paint imo. Fewer scales and less armour on the mount. Big flat skin areas.

    I know that we are pretty sure the rumor today is a terminator, but do the shoulders seem a bit small to anybody else? I am sure there is a good explaination (including, possibly, that i am just wrong and they really do look normal) but to me they just seem a bit small for terminator shoulders

    Maybe it's due to them not being attached

    Hey guys,

    Getting off the Warhammer quest bandwagon hypetrain express,

    Multiple sources on the aos Reddit are saying there will be a tzeentch demons start collecting up for pre order very soon with 10 pink horrors, 3 flamers and the chariot mult-kit.

    Sorry if someone has already reported this.

    Saw that, sounds like a smart idea. Can't see why not, the other 2 active gods have 1 right? And it's not arcanites (I'd be suspicious of rumours of a tzaangor, skyfire and acolyte box for example)

    Agreed I'm not repainting my troops.  I really dislike the whole colors determine abilities aspect anyways

    For me (and I'm no TO mind you) if you were to say "THIS chamber of the Hammers of Sigmar stormhost like PINK ARMOUR in fact they are nicknamed the pink hammers" just because there's some cool hammers of sigmar rules, I'd say well done sir, well done and clap.

    Looks nice but I can already see complaints and people cursing GW for not announcing another new battletome and bunch of minis right after DoT was released. Still two frequent demands adressed in 2 days: a box of gryphhounds and more Warhammer Quest.

    I think a shipment of SALT has spilled somewhere on the interwebs and some users are imbibing heavily.

    Look I get it that some aren't always happy to see new things, some releases just don't 'zing' for some people but there's this stereotype emerging that is making me roll my eyes.

    It's...

    /drumroll

    Mr or Mrs "<Sigh> Oh look X, where are my Y GW?!!? EVERYONE *absolutely not just a portion of the playerbase* is waiting on this very thing I just asked for!"

    I couldn't shorten that down that much :(

    I can see where the impatience might be coming from,  death players, elf players, dwarf players, the time will come for all (bar anything that is just y'know not coming). Everyone has hobby to enjoy.

    Come on laddos the rumour thread is mostly for excitement!

    Anyway, enough of me whinging about whinging!
