    Drakespawn Knights

    in Cities of Sigmar

    Posted

    I appreciate all the input, it's given me some things to think about. I suppose they could be used as tanky objective holders in an all cav army, or possibly a fast-moving (if maybe a bit expensive) tar pit, especially with Tempest's Eye giving them 2+ save in the first battle round.

    Trial of Champions Roster

    in Warcry

    I assume it'd have space to put in the stuff that gets added when you play champion mode, i.e injuries and territories. It's not like there isn't room to do it on the regular sheet, I'd just like not to have to write in the margins, rather keep it neat.

    Quick question: It says in the Tome of Champions 2019 that there is a warband roster specifically for champion mode to be downloaded on the Warcry website, but I can't find it, nor does it seem to be in the downloads section on the community page. Anyone know if/where this roster can be found?

    Drakespawn Knights

    So I've been itching to make a cavalry heavy Cities list that doesn't revolve around demigryphs and I really want to put some drakespawns in there (probably using historical cavalry minis) but as we all know by now they are for some reason absolutely atrocious. My question is, does anyone else feel like this is just a weird mistake that GW just haven't bothered correcting? I mean, as far as I know they're literally the only heavy cavalry unit in the game where the riders only have one attack each. And would giving them an extra attack be what they need to bring them in line or do they need something more?

    They definitely haven't been replaced, Anvilgard and all the other cities in the CoS battletome are still playable. Furthermore I find it unlikely they will put more rules for the Cities in coming broken realms books, campaign books rarely (never?) focus on the same faction more than once in the series.

    Battleforce 2019 speculations

    Since Cities of Sigmar got one SC! box for dwarves and one for elves (or Greywater Fastness and Avilgard) it wouldn't surprise me if humans got a battleforce instead, possibly marked Hammerhal. They might even throw in some stormcast so they can get the golden boys in without having to give them another dedicated battleforce.

    What's Storm of Chaos? Is that a novella?

    Oh my sweet summer child (said the 26 year old with only hazy memories of the actual aftermath of Storm of Chaos). I'd say they handled it a wee bit better in End Times but that's probaby because everything didn't ostensibly hinge on the results of a worldwide online campaign.

    She's a special character and so can't have command traits or magic items.

    Gah I knew I missed something (also, maybe too many eggs in one basket, eh?)... can she still be given the spells from the lore though?

    Never had to worry about stuff like this while playing free peeps But it is rather exciting to have so many new thing to keep track of.

    I'm also looking forward to trying out Drycha in a LC army, and of course I'll convert her to look like a life mage wearing a tree mech suit beacuse how cool wouldn't that be? I might even make her the general and give her the "knows all spells from the lore"-trait, or is that a bit much considering she can still only cast one spell per turn?

    With Cities of Sigmar now a thing, what Made to Order runs do you want?

    Was made to order the last chance to buy? If not:

     

    as answer to your question: Dreadspears/Darkshards, Chariots but certainly not the Drakespawn knights

    Do you mean the old versions of those units? 'Cause all of those kits are still in production.

     

    As for me, it'd be the old empire engineers (even the mechanical steed one) or the old bright mage, I mean just look at this madman!

    Im not sure about the support elements. Right now I have 2 Rocket Batteries and one Cogsmith but im not sure if Hammerhal is the right city for Artillery support...

    I'd say artillery support belongs in every city.

    The Fall of Hollenstahl

    in Painting and Modelling

    Posted

    So with the imminent arrival of the Cities of Sigmar battletome my motivation has yet again been invigorated, and the other day I wrote up some fluff and started sketching on a map to flesh out my little area of the Mortal Realms:

     

    Quote

     

    Greenmont Peninsula 

    Along the rimward edge of one of Ghur’s central continents, with shores to the Silent Serpent Sea, lies the Greenmont Peninsula. Named after the mountain range that splits the peninsula in half it is a verdant and surprisingly civilised land, less of a unified nation and more a loose alliance of city-states. Following the reconstruction during the Age of Sigmar the region saw internal strife as the more powerful of these cities and their rulers vied for power. After years of minor wars the city-states were forced into an alliance following an invasion of marauding orruk tribes. After successfully fighting back the threat the cities declared a (somewhat uneasy) peace and informally defer to the leadership of the aelven lords of Highward. This peace is now seeing the ultimate test as the Greenmont Peninsula is yet again under attack, this time from a more sinister foe and the sacking of Hollenstahl proved a rude awakening forcing the rulers of each city to choose between providing aid during the crisis or doubling up the defences and try to ride out the storm on their own.

    Model-wise I've built a small unit of stormcast using a mix of vanguard kits to make a counts-as Steelheart's Champions:

    Does CoS need new models?

    in Cities of Sigmar

    Posted

    I for one am relieved CoS didn't get faction specific scenery or endless spells, none of the faction scenery kits released so far have made any sense to me (these dwarves brought a what to the battlefield?!) and none of the spells have been necessary in the least after the initial ones released. They've just felt like GW were releasing models for the new books solely to have something to release.

    I think this is a valid concern.

    Why would any new hobbyist pick up Cities of Sigmar? Not a single new model. This book could very well be just a temporary provision of rules for the grogs until their model lines go the way of the greenskins.

    And to this I would like to answer that maybe new hobbyists like that the models that aready existed now actually have a book connected to them and maybe some new uses for old models they might not have considered before. It's borderline insulting to imply that a new hobbyist can only pick up a new army if it comes with new models. 

    I don't see this book as "pandering to the grogs", more of a bridging the gap between the old and new. Do I wish they could have done it better? Of course! Would I have liked some new models to replace the ones we lost? Sure, but on the other hand I can now play humans with magical and artillery support without being restricted by how many allies I can take.

    @CrashQuest I say go for it! And paint him however the hell you want, a cohesive army look is more important than clumsily justifying your counts-as, if it's obvious you're not playing him as a freeguild griffon or black dragon then that's good enough in my book (of course, as pointed out earlier the ones you should ask are the poeple you play with since our opinions don't count for jack if your opponents disagree).
