  1. I have had the same thought about my Tzeentch daemons.  Just keep in mind to focus on one god and that the 40K army would be almost twice as many models unless you use more than one greater daemons.  Soul Grinders are a good port through as they can be used in Slaves to Darkness and Chaos Daemons.  They have explicitly stated on the community site that they arnt going to be putting Chaos Daemons as they are in 40K in the HH or the Old World yet.  
    If you like the durability of Plaguebearers then there are a lot of characters to buff them and the daemonic beasts they have are good chaff.  I think Plague Drones in particular are a good stall unit that could give the other units time to move up field.

    You guys being all hype and getting your units ready for some righteous crusading against enemies of Sigmar actually infected me as well. Got 30 Fussiliers primed and drying out.

    Still unsure what base size they`ll be on release. One of my buddies think they`ll go up to 28mm. Hopefully we`ll find out soon for all the new units. Seeing as characters went up to 32, it very well might be the case, since those shields (og. Fussiliers) are rather bulky.

    I really like this.  They used big portable shields with their firearms to protect fro arrows so I could see this being an awesome looking unit if you manage to get them to base up right.  Have they changed the rules about basing and I didn’t know?

  3. I’m glad designers today are finally stepping away from the Werner knocked style dwarf females they have on reaper.  The women in this setting are often supposed to be life long warriors or survivoralists so being muscular only comes with that territory.

  4. I would model them to be able to proxy as the new units.  Like how folks used to make armies with the various kits and covert proxies for a whole lot of the good units.  Warhammer Community has featured quite a few.  The army you are describing sounds like a Theocratic Misthavn and having read the short story about the scourge privateer going and getting revenge against her father I am all in.  Don’t let speculation stop your creativity and if it comes to it the Ulgu Aelves might be these units ported right over.

     

    I at one time plotted a whole swifthawk agents army but they went and got rid of all their kits and broke that dream but then I jumped into the chaos stuff wholeheartedly.

  5. I’m sure they will have a way to have CoS duardin and Aelves as the multiracial factor has been a big part of what makes Cities of Sigmar who they are.  I’m sure it will be either mixed race units or small units from Warcry but who know maybe that’s where they will base their new waves on down the road like how lumineth do with the temples

  6. You are completely right Doko, it could just be the language barrier that is causing the confusion.  The Hearthguard rule explicitly states the ward can still be used after the wound is shunted off the character.  where the Blackguard only get a better ward and hand one to the sorcereress nowhere that I can find does it  say the black guard in particular can have the sorceress’ wounds shunted to them.  
     

    So it seems the Fyreslayers have the better rule with the retinue mechanic but I’m sure the blackguard are what we can expect them to look like in the future to just do away with rules-bloat.

  7. What’s sad is without all those mortal wounds Skaven would underperform.  It sounds like you had a really bad streak of luck.  A double turn and flubbing a bunch of roles sounds like how my games have gone.  
    don’t give up because they MW you off the table look at it as a chance for vengeance.  Back in WFB I played Skaven and I lost 90% of the time because of horde units of lothern seaguard and my abysmal luck so don’t think Skaven are always winning hahah.  
    I know everyone says the artillery sucks but that or a suicide griffin Druid might be able to take out the furnace

  8. I think they should get a fire golem and probably an Avatar a la the Eidolon of Mathlann where it functions similarly to the Eldar avatar but is a giant dwarf made of magma and fire.  I think they should lead into the underground advance mechanic if they are going to compete with just blobs of slow infantry and so few skirmisher options.  Perhaps they could add females duardin in a light infantry unit that moves up to stall and redirect so the Hearthguard and droths can get charges in afterwards.  The runesmiter is a good source for deployment shenanigans but there should really be an army rule that allows them to do it with more units.  It would really help them weather the first few turns of MW and alpha charges to counter charge once momentum based units get stuck in to blobs of berserkers.

    im not sure about flying tho unless they did it good.

  9. I think this is a great release especially when you compare it to other factions.  They did say it was going to be a large one.  I don’t understand why folks want to see more.  They are encouraging proxing so if we want to use warrior priests or what have you there at places in the warscroll for every model.  It sucks stuff is going away but like people have said we have known this was gonna happen ever since the launch of AoS and all the kits that have retired over the years.  I miss the swifthawk agents and the boar Boyz that made me quit orruks and convert them to 40k.

    im totally ready for this release and I hope it gets me motivated to work on my projects.

  10. I began back in 2003 with some of the hugely disproportionate clanrats and a warlord that was my first horribly painted model which I broke the tail of on my first attempt to assemble it lol.  The terrible lighting of my dad’s hotel room is likely to blame and not my shaky untested hands lol.  Years later my childhood friend surprised me with the warlord and some of my original skaven army that inspired me to collect 9k points back in 7th-8th ed.  Another friend and I ‘isle of blood’ed it so hard we played a 13 hour 9k high elf/lizard men vs skaven madness that left us both delirious.  By the end of it 3 turns had gone by and we still had hundreds of models on the table though my rat men were outnumbered 2-1 lol

  11. I wasn’t really sure where to ask this but does anyone know the current lore for Khorgus Khul and his Goretide?  The last I remember he was stuck in a renewed battle for the crazy roving, miniature subrealm because the four daemon lords and the slam came back.  I’d appreciate any thing u might know. I am trying to get an idea for a Khorne army and I have always loved his corny villain aspect and the way his fall was portrayed in his novel. I just want it to be as close to the current lore as possible as I am hoping the make him into a huge daemon prince like model in the future.

     

    Edit:  added clarification 

  12. Hi there 

    it’s been a long time since I have had motivation to paint or buy anything new for my hobby collection and I’m reaching out to you guys here on TGA to help me with some ideas.

    so far the lore for my force is that it is an amalgamation of warbands that are trapped within my gaunt summoner’s silver tower either willingly or unwittingly so.  So far I have a daemonic host, brick of chaos warriors and an arcanite cult.  If you’re wondering what I have my blog on here has pictures of my army as well as progress throughout.

    please let me know any ideas you might think are cool I am really open to anything!
