  1. AoS naming conventions so far tend towards either InventedNoun CompoundNoun (Idoneth Deepkin, Kharadron Overlords, Ossiarch Bonereapers) or Nouns of Noun (Blades of Khorne, Cities of Sigmar, Hedonites of Slaanesh). Makes speculating about them very entertaining.

    Did I hear giant Idoneth kraken from FW? Just saying... I would start saving my lunch money if it were to be announced...

    That's the really maddening thing! There must be some behind-the-scenes wrangling we don't know about, because from the outside it's obvious what FW should be: it should provide larger and specialist hobby pieces which are an optional bolt-on to AoS. Absurdly large monsters, bits for customising your units- things that probably won't move in the volume required to get them into a shop or cast in plastic, but for which there is nevertheless a confirmed hobbyist market. 

    It just... doesn't do this. In fact it hasn't done anything so far, with the exception of those aforementioned Stormcast bits.

  3. Trying to figure out Forge World, at least as far as the fantasy side of things goes, is an exercise in smashing your head against a wall. Worse than having no idea, GW seems to have fifty different ideas about what FW should be doing, and looks to try implementing a different one of those ideas every other week.

  4. I don't understand the logic of the Warcry expansion. It's the spiritual successor to Mordheim, apparently- a game all about skirmishing. And now, what, a month after release, they're already letting you put a Terrorgheist in your warband? I don't remember the Reiklanders in Mordheim being able to tame a griffin.

    I really love the look of the models and the potential for the lore, but is anyone else disappointed by the name?

    ossiarch has its roots in the word ossify and the Latin word  ‘os’ meaning bone. So their faction name is basically ‘Boney Bonereapers’

    Would have been so much happier with Ossiarch legions, or simply the bone tithe instead.

  6. So... Hench Undead Xerxes isn't the thing that was beneath Lake Lethis in Forbidden Power, is he?

    Spoiler

    Because that thing has, like, tentacles and shizzle, and it pulls gargants down to their deaths even though they have magic shields and stuff.  As obvious as it is that Katakross has absolutely not been missing a single sesh at the gym, I doubt he could bench press a gaggle of gargants.

    Apologies if this has already been discussed and I missed it.

  7. As much as the "give 'em Endless Spells, terrain, a new book and maybe a new character and chuck 'em out the door" approach has twisted my nips (and not in a good way), it does seem like a bit of a kick in the teeth for Cities and Orruk players that they don't even get that cursory level of attention.

  8. Hmmm. Either I plough on with my Skaven, or I switch gears and try and make some progress with my Deepkin. 

    I think I should stick to the rats, or I'll never get anything finished. So, with that in mind:

    - 20 Clanrats (Horned Rat's blessings upon Contrast)

    - finish Clawlord

    - finish Arch Warlock

    - finish Warlock Bombardier

    - make a start airbrushing primary colours onto Stormfiends and Verminlord Warpseer

    - airbrush primary colours onto Gnawholes

  9. What about if the current phases were to be kept but you alternated activations within them? So we start with the hero phase, I choose a command ability, you cast a spell, I use a trait, you cast another spell, I cast a spell, you use a command ability, and so on.
