    For many, it's the other way around. 6-10-15 mm would have ensured I'd never buy a single sprue of them.

    Also, have you all spotted "Half Orc" in the list of rumours? And Kragnos?

    It makes sense to target the whales I guess. It was just exciting for a moment that it was a possibility we might be able to replicate the massive battles experienced in total war without it taking up my entire house. Just sad it's gonna be another small skirmish game with giant models that are hard to transport.il keep hoping for a small remaster of warmaster :')

    Mousillon should be your aim I think.

    Maybe go for Kastelai as the theme, with The Red Duke (Prince Vhordrai or a VLoZD) leading his troops from his castle.

    You can stick some wings on the Vengorian Lord and have him as a deformed pegasus knight or something.

    Skeletons as Militia and Zombies as Peasants, with Blood Knights as your core.

     

    Middenland and Mousillon are Coming to Campaign - Total War Warhammer -  YouTubeSteam Workshop::Bare Bones Mousillon Unlocker

    Yes Mousillon was the plan! I'm looking forwards to learning why everyone hates painting yellow 😢 i have to admit the Vengorian lord is the thing I'm finding hardest to figure out a decent conversion for !

    You should definitely take a look over in the general discussion thread. People are posting solid lists over there all the time.

    I think if you want to build a Bretonnia-inspired army, you will probably want both the lowly peasants and their high lords to be represented.

    For peasants, both skeletons and zombies work. Skeletons are the tankier option of the two. You can run a block of 30 with a Necromancer to support it (skeletons heal by activating in combat, and the Necromancer has a spell that lets them activate twice, potentially giving you double healing) and it will be a decent anvil. Zombies, by contrast, are more there for their bodies than anything else. You can run them in 20s or 40s and they can be very annoying for your opponent: They get to pile in and attack from 6" away, so they don't need to charge, and they do most of their damage as mortal wounds so they are a threat even to high armour models. The downside is that they can't take a punch. They are good, but they just die. If you want to support them, a +1 attack buff literally doubles their damage output.

    For mounted knights, there are two obvious options in the book in Black Knights and Blood Knights. Black Knights are kinda not so good at the moment, but you can probably run a unit of 5 of them to represent questing knights and be fine. Blood Knights on the other hand are great! Run them in units of 5, with or without support. They will definitely do work and are probably the best unit in the Gravelords book. You can easily take up to 15 or so Blood Knights in a list without stretching yourself too thin.

    The subfaction you will probably want to run is Kastelai, because it supports Blood Knights the best, and Bretonnia is all about their knights after all. If you instead want a subfaction that leans more magical and wants to run lots of heroes, you can take a look at Vyrkos.

    One more thing: In AoS 3, units with the MONSTER keyword are pretty good, and you should probably try to put at least one in your list (unless you are playing purely to theme). The Vampire Lord on Zombie Dragon and Vengorian Lord are both good choices, but I have no idea how you would convert them to be more Bretonnian.

    Thanks, this is really detailed and I appreciate it! Il check out the general forum and hopefully find a list that checks enough of my conversion ideas, which is going to be awkward as I really want to convert both a corpse Cart and skeletons and I'm pretty sure having both zombies and skeletons is inefficient! 

  4. Hi, so my lifelong dream army was a converted undead brettonian force but I never had the finances for a large aos army until recently. 

    Luckily I have had a large amount of Brettonian bits and terribly painted models stored for atleast 15 years and now seems the time to get chopping and green stuffing and bring my dream to life..( unlife) my problem is I have no idea how to actually start list wise , I've no plans to play in tournaments but I'd enjoy a list capable of winning and have purchased some blood knights to start me off, could anyone recommend a list or some units to help me build a decent and thematic list? 

     

    Sorry for the essay, any replies are greatly appreciated

    At this point I believe whatever Grimdark Live is going to say (unless contradicted by Whitefang, of course 😉) considering they were right about everything.

    Which

    Which means

    EVERYBODY ON THE HYPE-DAEMON WAR ENGINE! CHOO CHOO! NEXT STATION: FURNACE KINGS!

    I have been so So hype for chaos dwarves for so long but I have to point out grimdark live had a ' source ' tell them chaos dwarves were coming soon a year ago and it didn't happen! Hopefully they are on a roll after the Dominion leak

    I just realized I had missed the last five minutes of the Grim Dark Live stream. Yes, they really said it. They said new Chaos Dwarfs are really coming and they'll have more info on them they will reveal soon. They also said they won't be named that, which is kind of obvious, but still. These guys were completely right about Dominion alongside Whitefang and they're still got rumors in the wild on the new army which we'll see soon enough if they're true. Saying Chaos Dwarfs are actually coming is a pretty big statement to put your reputation on unless you're certain about it.

    Chorf bros... is this what hope feels like?

    PRAISE HASHUT!

    They are called the Furnace Kings' in AOS

    Kharadron do not need gods and Fyreslayers are clearly aligned with Grimnir.

    Grimnir is dead and dwarves above all respect their ancestors. It's foolish to believe they wouldn't answer a call to war from Grungni no matter what grudges they have built up, plus I'm sure Grungni could offer them plenty of ur gold. 

    Don't understand the weird gatekeeping and massive reaction to dwarves being combined into one battletome. There is literally nothing stopping you from still running a Fyreslayers lodge or a Kharadron  fleet. The comparison that the different dwarves are akin to lumineth and sylvaneth is absolutely ridiculous,  those are two different and distinct species who both just happen to serve a God who used to be an elf. The kharadron, dispossessed and Fyreslayers are all the same species who have drifted apart since their gods died/vanished. They are far closer to different lumineth temples that don't play nice with eachother very often than they are two completely different races.

     

    Also think a combined battletome increases  the chance of more dwarf models more than it reduces it too, Fyreslayers especially are a design dead end. Do you guys even convert anyhow? Wouldn't be hard to convert Fyreslayer sky pirates or drunken kharadron berserkers if you wanted things to be more aesthetically similar for whatever reason

  8. I'd be all over the Dwarves being combined as an army personally, even better with some new ' basic' dwarves thrown in! I love the idea of Fyreslayers and KO's as units but honestly think they are too samey to be interesting as a solo army ( particularly Fyreslayers, those models really aren't that far off being identical from eachother and slayers as a horde instead of elite just never sat right with me).

    "Someone" saying "something" on the Most Eisley of internet sites/apps is hardly an official "ditch your old book, oh and also so sorry you wasted all that money on an army that is no longer valid" though, is it?

     

    I totally get the bit where it says in the book that you need to use the most current warscrolls. That's fine. I can play Legions of Nagash with updated points/scrolls. I'm just not ready to start from scratch based on a FB reference.

     

    🤷‍♂️

     

     

    Do what you want! I dont really care! You asked if there was confirmation so I told you what I saw, I see someone also posted a screenshot.  You can cling to your old book but its retired whether you like it or not. Doesn't make a difference if you play with reasonable friends.

    Fair enough, but still, no "this book replaces that book" statement from them, right?

    Yes. Someone asked Warhammer Community and they replied ' I can confirm this is a replacement of the legion of nagash battletome'

    Or something to that effect

    I didn't follow the news close enough about the soulblight army but can someone tell me:

    - what previous death units can be played and are they ok/good/lame in this BT ? (I have LoN army and FEC already and mortarchs and lord on zombidragon).

    - Reciprocally : what are the soulblight new units that can be played in LoN/FEC/death army ?
    I don't know yet if I'll buy new stuff except the knights and skeletons, and maybe some leader/lord...dunno. 

    Legion of nagash is gone, Soulblight is the new legion of nagash

    Grimdark Live DID NOT claim Bretonnian Stormcast. They specifically said they heard nothing about the Stormcast being Bretonnian esqe. They were only repeating what others said. 

    Hmm where did that rumour come from then? Seemed to spring up at the same time. 

    I found it hard to pay attention to their first video to be honest because one guy kept excitedly yelling over the guy trying to give the information so it's possible I was mistaken 

  13. Grimdark live also claimed Brettonian Stormcast and we got an angel, a terminator with a tiny head and a Greco-Roman phalanx so I have my doubts with anything they say to be honest. 

    To claim something Is brettonianesque surely implies horses and heraldry

    The mask might be fine but imagine what the head inside would be like (but moreover I was deliberately being flippant). Regardless we know that gobbos can and do kill stormcast on the regular, just like skaven and ungors and blue horrors and zombies and all sorts of horrible little fighters.

    It's still an aesthetically unpleasing match up in my opinion. All I was saying

    Generally starter set are aimed at newer player who are aren’t familiar to the setting  and not for well establish player so it just perspective. Veteran player would just buy the set anyway 

    I'm not a veteran player, I've never managed to buy into AOS properly because the armies I like have either been squatted, don't get updated or have been mutated into something absurd in order for gw to be ' unique'. Sorry if my tone seems a little sour but it's been a long wait to finally be able to play and seeing armies with a million nice kits like goblins and stormcast getting even more updates whilst humans and dwarves may as well not exist is just grating after a certain point 

  16. I can't think of anything more boring for a starter set than snorecast Vs grots...they both already have huge amounts of models...how does a grot, even riding a wolf, pose the slightest threat to a stormcast? I'd probably have been interested if it was humans Vs grots but oh well

    Could well be. Red for Gitmobs, Yellow for Badmoon and the Blue for the "new breed"?

    Pretty sure the blue is spiderfang or skitterfang or whatever they call them, there is literally a spider hanging in front of it

    So, this Stormcast update could be interesting because some folks have suggested that we aren't actually getting a new chamber, and that rather this is just a "technology upgrade" for the faction.

    With Sacrosanct, we got a battleline, a paladin equivalent, an archer unit, and artillery piece, a cav unit, 3 variants of the Chamber's primary Lord, 2 lessor lords, and a knight. What are we expecting this wave to look like, and will it also be considered it's own chamber or not?

    We've already seen battleline and a paladin unit. There's a rumor engine that suggests archers, and cav seems a sure bet. 

     

    Honestly think it's going to be basically a new version of everything stormcast wave one got, I don't think it's going to replace any old units but it is clearly a primaris situation in all but name

    given what was chivalric in Bretonnian lore or in real life trampling over people is what was considered chivalric if you break that down. If your enemies are infidels/subhumans/cattle then it is chivalric to trample over them. 

    No it isn't. Running people over or seeing people as subhuman or cattle is not chivalry. The warscroll  is clearly implying they like to think they fight with honour and have moralistic codes when in reality they are bloodthirsty brutes who are just desperate to get at their desired prey. Really don't think there is a problem with the wording.

    Well this is some peak garbage profile for an elite unit. I would at least expect a better Rend on charge IN ADDITION (I guess we got a wrong writer here heh) to +1 damage.  

    1 inch range on Lances??? I play Evocators on dracolines and the 2 inch range on their grandstave is clutch. 
    BC3a0FZejgZXoyg6.jpg

    I am not a native speaker but what kind of sentence is: "Blood knights are vampires obsessed with battle, and their codes of chivalric honour are warped indeed." ??  (followed by the sentence that doesn't describe anything that warped in their behaviour) 


    From a power level perspective from just these rules: 3/10

    From a lore perspective: 1/10 hire somebody else for the lore bits. 

    Trampling over people to get to stronger enemies isn't very chivalric...that is warped.

    Oh god. If it’s destruction Sylvaneth I’m checking out of the starter set.

    Makes much more sense considering the wood elf god's comments about life getting out of control and becoming a huge threat to the realms!  They did say there are hints in the broken realms stories too

    Honestly I'm out if it's goblins again, Gloomspite still feels very recent all things considered
