Seems an odd name for a place in age of sigmar given where it is I’m sure it’s some bonetown at this point.
-
I was browsing the ossiarch bonereaper map dreaming of mortek bowmen when I noticed this island between Necros and Cadavaris called ODT or Odt which I found odd. I know it’s a long shot but I figured if anyone has noticed it before or if it shows up on other maps of shyish. Does it have any significance?

Would the chariot have a soul like the kavalos mounts and mortek crawler have? That’d be crazy with the chariot, horse-things, and crew all having souls.

They are magical creatures made by the darkling covens for the Order Serpentis since the dragons were hard to repopulate. The Seraphon ones are the traditional Cold Ones. If I remember right the Hydras are also magically created creatures in the same vein.

I have been really on a Hellenistic kick since I saw the new stormcast spearmen and it got me thinking of the Parthenon in Athens. My idea is to combine the rectangular base from shattered temple set and the azyrite townscape or the Warcry terrain around the sides with columns on the base to hold up a removable roof. Perhaps even make it two stories or with a vaulted ceiling to accommodate the statue of sigmar.
I was wondering if anyone has seen this before or has done it themselves. I would love to make this piece of terrain and it would inspire me to look at. I haven’t been able to find a picture of it online so if anyone has one please let me see.

I really really hope they do a mongol orruk hobgoblin army I would jump right into the deep end for that.
I have a feeling the first one for AoS is going to be the rest of the soulblight and perhaps the kragnos model. Feels just like yesterday that Soul Wars came out hahah -
Perhaps but not completely. Ossiarchs are composite beings made from numerous souls and bodies worth of bones.

The game is more of a living document that takes time to get right. As everyone has been saying on the last page just say something and GW might listen. The models haven’t even been released so give it some time and they might change the rules as points in the right direction to balance them out with the other factions.

I wouldn’t count on her actually having any prayers in the vein in stormcasts or DoK but I could definitely see her have a passive ability on the warscroll. Seeing as slaanesh doesn’t have any other priest keyword models it wouldn’t make much sense for there to be a table just for that one retinue model. Perhaps they just call her a priestess but she is really a wizard?
I hope they have three different spell lores though much like the Disciples of Tzeentch have for the three different sub factions. Sybarites, Daemons, and generic mortals would make a lot more sense.

100 page mark!
I could see the myrmidesh being on 32mm’s as well as the blissbarb archers. They seem to want to be on bigger bases in how they have parts of them stick off the base.

I don’t see the being any more of a glass cannon than khorne armies are. They still have access to all the slaves to darkness units and are getting painbringers which seem as though they will be equivalent to chaos warriors or blood warriors. I feel like they will have a 5+ save then 5+ save after the save based on the direchasm warscroll for Vasillac and the Lord of Pain.
the hedonites won’t be tanking wounds like fyreslayers but they will handle wounds just about like all the other chaos armies.-

I want to see Bigteef come barreling into Sigvald and knock some of his magnificent teeth out. I know he’s the best representation of vainglory in the realm of all things slaaneshi but I just never really liked him and his novel didn’t really help 😛
-
They will most likely be equivalent to enlightened just judging on the size.
I can’t wait to see what happens when waaaagh! Gordrakk and the combined Sigvald and glutos horde descend on Excelsis in the next Broken Realms book. My gut feeling is the orruks will breach the walls and the slaaneshi host will show up afterwards to claim victory much like what happened when Morathi came out and lead the counter attack that crushed the besiegers in her book.

That’s a lot of soulrenders lol

I was hoping this book they would get units that fleshed out the unit options in the Undergrounds warband. Rev archers and GW Revs also. Another variation of Branch,.. wych? With just something different. Why doesn't that model have some sort of 6th ed strangleroot style attack with his/her vines? Seems like a lost chance on GWs part.
Shrugs. Can you take 3 Avalenor? Can you get an Avalenor up to 8 attacks? I'm not saying a Spirit of Durthu is pointed properly at 300 points but across the board comparisons can be myopic.
The ancient is a bit long in the tooth (har har) and could use some sort of attention. Low on attacks, low on casting, low on dmg output. What the Treelord accomplishes in a sylvaneth army for the army and synergies is however different from what the black dragon does in CoS. comparing straight across the board isn't really ideal
This is pretty much it. And has been since 2005. Terrain and getting the free forest out is hard.
Beastmasters!!!!
They are from 2005. 15 1/2 year old model that lacks some of the more modern aesthetics of the current range. GG went bye bye and I worry Dryads will do.
It isn't that reliable. a 4+ vs 2+ in the same as making it feel like a 6+.
Mmmm... no. You can chaff that out (sure alpha into 10 Ungors, have fun). If it was honestly one of the most lethal lists you would see it played by more than Hugh Laurie who doesn't even play it really it was his only list usable.
They already have Kurnothi. The treelord shoots already, let's not give him a bow. But a Lady of the Vines would be cool
There was some awesome lore for Treekin in the 8th ed book. Granted KHs were the plastic kit for TK so,.. while they had a warscroll for both, I mean,.. pretty obvious. I've converted my Treekin to have KH weapons and put them on larger bases with some bitz to bulk them up.
I would like it if they brought treekin back in some way. The whole elven spirits that became one with athel Loren was cool. More like an animating spirit then a physical form like the dryads. They would assemble bodies before a fight from deadwood.
I put mine on 40mm bases, should they have bigger bases?
-
Daemons can be summoned into the game after you have casts a certain number of spells but it’s not necessary

That’s awesome so many kits put into one

Great thing about tzeentch is you can include slaves to darkness units with the mark and still benefit from the allegiance abilities. I would recommend getting a set of pink horrors and two sets of blues and brimstone horrors. I’m glad to see another devotee of the lord of magic !

In a way I view the people who voted as an audience for my blog which helps keep me motivated to keep up with the hobby. Otherwise I would do like I did before and only have a few models from a big range of factions.

I’ve got a force of nighthaunt already from a while ago that I wouldn’t mind getting back to working on. So far I have one of all the units and lady olynder but I would love to do as you say and expand into all the endless spells from shyish from the malign sorcery and what not. Maybe get a few duplicates of some of the sets or some cheap stuff off eBay. I also have an idea to convert a few different guardians of souls that would be fun as well as getting the craven king.
the lore I have come up with for my arcanites revolves around them being servants of a gaunt summoner who has a penchant for collecting arcana and tomes from all around the mortal realms and I figured that would be a good tie in to my nighthaunt being guardians of some powerful artifacts or a breached storm vault they are campaigning to capture. I like the idea of a silver tower popping around the realms like the bad moon and the myriad forces of chaos trapped within its labyrinth corridors coming out to seize artifacts of power for their twisted master.
I also came up with some lore for a flying island city and even wrote a little fanfic piece you can find in my blog but I haven’t been motivated to expand on it much.-

That's my thinking too - the troops of the army are good; nothing outstanding but nothing bad; its just not as good as the depravity generating leaders. What was somewhat worrying was the White Dwarf "mortals" army option that came out which gave you a 2x bubble around Syllesske for depravity generation. In theory I guess the designer thought "they'll take more mortals so give them a boost to depravity for that leader"; which then translates too "take that allegiance and get double depravity on your keepers!!!!
That said moving on toward the future I needy our help my fellow worshippers of excess and indulgence. So far my Host is standing proud with the following:
0 Keepers of Secrets
0 Exalted Keeper of Secrets
0 Shalaxi Helbane
1 Masque
1 Contorted Epitome
1 Syll'esske
3 Infernal Enraptures
1 Herald of Slaanesh (I wonder if this might be one of the new models that hasn't been revealed yet - would be nice and would remove the very last of Slaanesh Finecast)
1 Lord of Pain3 Seeker Chariot
1 Hellflayer Chariot
2 Exalted Chariot30 Daemonettes + command
20 Deamonettes no command
9 Fiends - plastic
7 Fiends - metal
20 Seekers + command
10 Seekers + command
Hellstriders - spears
Hellstriders - ScougesI've held of on building the 10 hellstriders until the new book lands.
That said I'm sitting here contemplating expanding things in the month before the big update. I'm torn between the following ideas:1) Get a second Shadow and Pain box - building a second hellflayer; 10 more hellstrider options; completing the second group of Deamonettes with full command and taking up to a full 30. This sounds like the most affordable and sensible and the DoK content isn't really wasted either (the only part I likely don't need is more khinerai....)
2) A Keeper of Secrets - because its an outstanding model and unlikely to ever go away and something that I really do want to own
3) Push the budget some more and get an Exalted Keeper - because its an even more outstanding model that I've wanted for ages and keep putting off.
I’m in the same boat with my tzeentch I’ve been leery of getting the lord of change cause of costs and all I really need is one and a set of chaos warriors with some spawn. Idk I feel it’s odd to me to have the centerpiece model before you have the rest of the army. Painting all the different kinds of textures and colors I feel is going to really give me the skills to make the greater daemon the best looking model.
-
In the old word most of the chaos warriors were based on the Huns and other nomadic asiatic groups so Orientalism isn’t something new to chaos in war hammer.
-
I feel as though it is going to be Sigvald that came out of slaanesh at the end of broken realms morathi as they did with katakros after the forbidden power book and the battle of lethis. It would be kind of anticlimactic but totally within the realm of possibility.

Just seems like you were taking it really personal and in my experience people get passionate about a unit being broken when they get beaten by it and in a way they could not handle. I’m sure the points for a lot of things are going to get adjusted in the new generals handbook as they always are. Just don’t let it get to you especially if you don’t have to face it in games on a regular basis.
