What is that thing in the bottom right? Sort of looks like a reaver, but nurgly?
Also it looks like we're going to be getting a ton of AoS releases amongst small 40K splashes until 40K gets its new edition. This is going to be a great start to the year.
Not stormcast, but a very interesting silhouette.
Well, I take that back. I does have a double tailed comet on the chest. The helmet might looked weird with some featurs obscured. I am very curious.
Maybe its just a statue in this one?
I don't think it needs to be a testing ground. It needs to be what Hero Quest was when I was a kid. Something really easy to get into that gives a taste for a variety of things and draws more people into the hobby.
Oh boy. Where to start. https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Warhammer-Quest-Mighty-Heroes https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Warhammer-Quest-Arcane-Heroes
Kurnoth are 50% more durable *without* rerollable saves.
Ranged
Kurnoth does 2 * .5 * .666 * .666 * 2 = 0.89
Skyfire does 1 * .333 * .666 * .666 * 2 = 0.30 (regular) plus 1 * .333 * 2 = 0.67 for a total of 0.97 (assuming shaman is near).
Melee
Kurnoth does 3 * .5 * .5 * .5 * 1 = 0.38 plus 1.5 mortal for 1.88 total.
Skyfire does 2 * .55 * .55 * .5 * 1 = 0.30 plus 1 * .75 * .55 * .5 * 1 = 0.21 plus 2 * .75 * .888 * .666 * 2 = 1.77 for 2.28 total
Skyfires are definitely not better than Kurnoth.
Edit: added rerolls for skyfires.
Skyfires do 18% more damage, but are 66% as durable before Kurnoth rerolls. That they fly makes up for this.
I am immediately transported back to my childhood. I used to run LoC and those monopose beastmen. I scrimped and saved for ages to afford that tiny $50 LoC back then and it was the most incredible thing I had ever seen.
Now I get to run beastmen again and a LoC that makes me giddy all over again...for more than $50, but oh so worth it!
I love this hobby so much I often ponder what I would do in an alternate reality where it doesn't exist.
