  1. I still don't understand the train of thought behind that decision of resurrecting the old world, in whatever form. Anyway, for the fans, enjoy.
  2. From a new player perspective, I don't see the point. At all. Yes it will be a success. Yes the new gameplay will be certainly cool. But I find this announcement counter-productive to the point of irrelevancy. AoS is not even 5 years olds, and still, they announce the resurrection of its predecessor. Anyway, even if dug Total war warhammer a lot, I guess I am not the target.
  3. My 2 eurocents Stormcast: the easy to build Stormcast model with the hammer on her shoulder. For me one of the most beautiful model in the AoS range. Legion of Nagash: the Wight king with baleful tomb blade. Amazing model Orruk warclan: the savage big boss. such a cool movement
  4. Guess we will see a lot of that colour scheme popping up as my local geedub store manager showed me the exact same project 4 days ago
  5. Dear fellow Age of Sigmar players, I would like to organise a small Meeting engagement event at my local geedub before the end of the year. I want to organise that for several reasons: After my first tournament ever this week end (Bloodshed in the shires 2019 which saw me going from 8 games ever played to 12!!! ), I am really motivated to play more Even if I did not have the chance to play it, I am convinced that ME is fun after watching a couple of ME battle reports on the interweb. In addition, I don't have any friends to play with (my only toy soldiers friend is living overseas), only the usual bunch at my local geedub. My local geedub's (bi-) monthly events are usually from 13h to 18h (5 hours), on 4*4 tables (because unfortunately they don't have much place), and I have been a little frustrated to never finish 1 game properly there since I started playing, because the time allowed to play is too short even for 1.5k points games. So my goal here is to experience with this format at least once and ensure that all player can play 2 games in this narrow 5 hours slot. But because I don't think it makes sense to bring something like Archaon, Morathi or Nagash (whom I don't think you can anyway), I thought that a point limitation could be relevant. My rule of thumb would be to restrict any unit that is over 1/3 of the 1000 points ME limit, because it feels that those units are not designed for less than 1.5k if not 2k games. So I started a small survey on twitter (check below), but you are welcome to comment here, and not on the relevance of Meeting engagement. I don't want to start a never-ending discussion à la "is zero a number?" Points limitation on this survey are 300, 350, 450 and no point limitation, to stick around the "inferior to 1/3 of 1000 points, because I want to keep hte restriction as simple as I can. Also, concerning the time frame, it seems that I could guaranty 2 * 1h15min games for up to 8 people in 5 hours: For 8 players (tight schedule) First round 13h -> 14h15, players 1 to 4 Second round 14h20 -> 15h35, players 5 to 8 Third round 15h40 -> 16h55, players: 1, 3, 5 and 7 Fourth round 14h -> 18h15, players: 2, 4, 6 and 8 For 6 players (either with a 4th round for 4 of the 6 players or with 90 minutes games) First round 13h -> 14h15, players 1 to 4 Second round 14h20 -> 15h35, players: 5, 6, 1 and 3 Third round 15h40 -> 16h55, players: 5, 6, 2 and 4 What do you experienced warmongers think? https://twitter.com/pseudorythme/status/1188855811390484480?s=20
  6. Hope the « counter attack » token is not just rules for this box set
  7. So... my super interesting opinion. I am not a fan, but still, I like the WTF concept behind it. Moreover, if feasible, I could picture myself building it without its throne, floating in the air, and using the throne as a Death balewind vortex
  8. @Thomas Lyons is talking about it in the last Warhammer weekly
  9. So more or less @Thomas Lyons WIP Nighthanut/Cities of Sigmar army project
  10. A mousetrap warmachine or endless spell would be hilarious
  11. For vampires, I would go either super classical with werewolves and the likes or 40k Genestealer Cult like with the possibility to use humans models with at least upgrade sprues. In the first case it won't be "AoSed", but I trust GW to be able to put out gorgeous and highly dynamic classical monsters.In the second case, it would develop their scheming and infiltration nature in the human society. I guess it could only be done after/along a big humans release. Don't really see another vampire trope they could expand on, or subvert (like they did the KO).
  12. You should send an email to AoSFAQ@gwplc.com withe hope it will be answered in the upcoming FAQ
  13. No expert, but it would seem logical to me that you can pick a unit that was meant to combat last. It's like your big boss ability is redefining the priority order on that unit.
  14. A funny away to do that would be a big narrative arc around Skaven (synched with a big Skaven release) which ends with Nagash messing Skaven plans 👌
  15. Thanks @recoilia and @RuneBrush, My initial intuition was to run 2*5 black knights for board control (and I had a pretty good experience of 5 of them vaporizing a unit of 10 unbuffed witchelves). Also I really had no idea about the Spirit hosts. So this saturday, will be my 1st 2k game (I only played 1.5k game until now), and will try the 1*10 Black knights and 1*6 Spîrit hosts. I agree on the Guardian of souls, it is just a pity as I bloody love the Wight king sculpt and my paintjob My only problem with the @Gravetide @RuneBrush, is that it's not yet painted 😅 So it will depend if I can paint my 2 Morghasts, finish my Necromancer and my black knights in the upcoming 3 weeks (which is feasible). Wish me luck and thanks again mates!
  16. Did anyone already thought of a 50/50 Bonesplitterz/Insecure orruks list?
  17. Yup, an Orruc warclans battleforce mixing both Bonesplitterz and Insecure orruks
  18. Thanks, but I am not planning to buy and paint models that I don’t have right now 😅 So no Wightking on steed nor Dire wolves.
  19. Dear fellow wargamers, I am a French dude who has entered the second half of his life (maybe his last third) and who has only 6 games of AoS under his belt, and I need you help because I am going to Bloodshed in the Shire in late October. Very important disclaimer: I am not going there to win, I don’t have an optimised list because I more or less don’t care and don’t want to paint 30000 times the same models. So basically, the core motivation behind the following list is the rule of cool. And I don’t plan to buy anything as of today for that tournament. So here are my couple of questions: Should I take my Wight king with baleful tomb blade because I love the sculpt and am pretty proud of my paint job, or the Guardian of souls who would be useful for supporting my chainrasps and be an additional wizard? Should I take 2*5 or 1*10 Black knights? Should I take 2*3 or 1*6 Spirit hosts ? Which endless should I take to complete and go to 2000 points? Thanks in advance people Allegiance: Grand Host of Nagash Mortal Realm: Shyish Leaders (850 / 870) Vampire Lord (140) Arkhan the Black Mortarch of Sacrament (340) Spirit Torment (120) Necromancer (130) Option Wight King with Baleful Tomb Blade (120) Guardian of Souls with Nightmare Lantern (140) Battleline (380) 20 x Chainrasp Horde (160) 10 x Grave Guard with Great Wight Blades (140) 10 x Skeleton Warriors with Ancient spears (80) Units (680) 5 x Black Knights (120) 5 x Black Knights (120) 2 x Morghast Harbingers with Spirit halberds (200) 3 x Spirit Hosts (120) 3 x Spirit Hosts (120) Endless Spells / Terrain (50) Purple Sun of Shyish (50) option Soulsnare Shackles (40) (if Wight king) Malevolent Maelstrom (10) (if Guardian of souls) Suffocating gravetide (20) (if Guardian of souls) Total: 1960/1980 Extra Command Points: 0 Allies: 0 / 400 Wounds: 117
  20. I would be more than happy to see GW going even further into the "memory dudes". Please GW, if you read this, push the thing up to 11.
  21. I am really not sure about a squatting of Seraphon, as I feel that there is far more love for them that there is for the late Bretonians and Tomb kings. And when you see the sculpts they did with a recent kickstarter that is a complete rip-off of GW line, I strongly believe that GW could do an amazing overall of the faction. with great success. As for 3.0 speculations, my feeling was (still is?) that they would go Destruction as the main antagonist, and monsters heavy after the endless spells with lots of roaming beasts on the battlefield. My hopes are up again since the announcement of Beastgrave and the Warcry first expansion. We'll see...
