  1. For today’s comic I wanted to bring in giants, since they’re all the rage these days. Who said Destruction can’t be slick?
  2. They look really good! I like that you were able to make them look unified despite the varied skin tones. The painting quality is top-notch
  3. @Kirjava13 as has been said, don’t beat yourself up about it. I’ve read a comment somewhere recently that went something like « do you NEED to do this and that, or do you WANT to? » Sometimes we have to remember that the hobby is not a job and we’re not supposed to be stressed about painting little plastic toys. So take care of you and your people, and at some point you’ll assuredly feel excited about it again
  4. Haha, I just wanted to make sure they read as bone soldiers, I have to admit I prefer them like that though...
  5. It’s wednesday, and that means it’s time for another episode of Mortel Realms! This episode focuses on the lower classes of the Ossiarch Bonereapers a.k.a Bone Daddies 😁
  6. @Dead Scribe I don’t have a problem with your approach to the game, and you certainly have some good points. I think what irks a lot of people (me included) is when you repeatedly assert that the game is only made to be played like that when that’s patently not true; from every narrative and open play rules & scenarios written, promoted and sold by GW, to all the narrative events that you can find with a simple search, to everyone telling you that they don’t play like you do, there’s ample proof that a lot of people just like playing narrative games. Whether it’s a lesser proportion of the aos scene, or just a less vocal one, doesn’t matter. I don’t play a lot of games because I usually spend a lot of time building up a warband and a narrative before playing, sometimes even travelling to do so. Is that a less valid or enjoyable way? I don’t think so. I wouldn’t enjoy playing the type of game you like but I would never disparage you for liking them. @wayniac I really hope you don’t lose hope. I seriously recommend doing what you can to find people you like playing with. Also sometimes I find the anxiety about making the right choices can make the problem feel bigger than it actually is when you get to playing. So start with a couple of battlelines and build that army
  7. While I mostly play warcry these days, I feel compelled to give my two cents, as often when narrative gaming is discussed. Regarding your dilemna, it seems like the best option, as others said, is to just have a bigger army that you can select from, and maybe have a couple of prewritten lists depending on your opponent. The opponent is the key here. Don’t let deadscribe’s point of view sway you too much; he is only interested in something that is actually a small part of the community, the tsport approach as you call it. I can assure you that there are tons of gamers that do not care about the meta, placing in tournaments or any of that. Of course these people are less vocal, especially on the internet, as they don’t spend as much energy talking about list building or analyzing game data. These are the people you need to find! People that like competition, but only as one part of the hobby. People that you enjoy playing against, wether you win or not. They are harder to find, but it’s really worth it. Even if you have to collect 2 armies and get some friends into it. This is a social game after all, in my opinion the most important aspect is having good opponents. And a lot of people will appreciate a cool looking, fluffy army more than a powerful netlist. The idea that narrative has no place in wargaming or AoS is laughable considering the enormous part that art and story have in it’s identity. Most people don’t start painting dozens of highly detailed miniatures just because they want to smash faces. I’ll stop rambling now 😅
  8. Hey peeps, here is a special episode of Mortel Realms! For this one I had the honor to have my joke illustrated by the great Roberto Cuevas Guerrero, a.k.a lanadaminiatures. I have set up an instagram account specifically for these comics and already have some other guest artists lined up. I’m pretty chuffed!
  9. Thanks, given your username I have to assure you that it’s not a personal attack
  10. Hey to anyone still following this thread, today I give you my take on a recent controversy that’s been tearing up our community 😁
  11. Great idea and execution, can’t wait to see them painted!
  12. My little backwater planet and its quarantined inhabitants are starting to take shape! Craft paints are not too bad, once properly diluted.
  13. I will not be able to attack my pile of shame as I am stuck at my girlfriend’s place in the countryside! I was able to get some models of off ebay at the start of the confinement. I went for some cheap pokwalkers. I only have artist’s acrylics so this won’t be fine painting but it will let me experiment. I don’t have a lot of time for hobby since I am doing a lot of comics these days! But I have already started bulding a bit of terrain from trash. The goal is to make a small set of terrain and two warbands of mutants, and coerce my girl into a campaign of skirmishes on a run-down quarantine planet... we’ll see what comes of it!
  14. Thanks! To be clear these are not for GW, it’s just the same style since it’s gonna be a while until they publish a 2nd season of Neverchosen, I have started my own comic to keep making nerdy jokes hehe.
  15. Here we go for episode 5, a case of mistaken divinity! Stay healthy folks, another one next week 🙂
  16. Thanks man, for now I’ve kind of been coasting on stuff I’d already made, but starting next week I have to come up with something new... thankfully I have more than a couple of ideas! I have to admit that I’m scared of having to draw stormcast though... those pauldrons...
  17. As often on the internet, I think it’s mostly that people have very different definitions of the same term. Obviously an oldhammer fan will picture something different than a total war fan when they read « we’re bringing the old world back ». People then get agravated because the most incendiary opinions are the most noticeable. And then it devolves into « us vs them ». I have no skin in the game personally, just observing that people’s expectations will shape their reactions. when I said « fantasy fans » I just meant people that want a return to the old school game, I didn’t mean to imply « true fans » or anything like that.
  18. I wonder if this project is not as much « bring warhammer fantasy back » as it is « bring total war warhammer to the tabletop ». A subtle distinction that could really orient the design in a different way than what fantasy fans might want 🤔
  19. I’m not a big fan of scenic bases, but I think a little touch of color that calls back to the paintjob (like a sickly green or bony off white) can really add to the model. I respect your point of view though, especially if you’re going to play them on different styles of terrain.
  20. Nice paintjob, that’s a good looking bunch of ghouls! are you planning on adding something on the bases? I feel that a couple of grass tufts could really finish it off nicely.
  21. I am spending confinement in the countryside here in france, at my girlfriends place. Sadly I don’t have any miniatures or paints here. BUT I have ordered some cheap poxwalkers on ebay, and I have some art acrylics. So the plan is to paint my minis with those (thoroughly thinned) and build some cool terrain with mossy stones and branches. While I am pretty worried about my older relatives, I’m excited to start this quarantine project to take my mind off of things.
  22. Yeah it’s just sad how many people abandon their eyes after holiday season
  23. Hey guys, it’s that time of the week again! Today you can see why disciples of tzeentch have learned to be extremely specific when asking their patron for something...
  24. First time seeing this thread, is the contest still taking place? I'd be interested!
  25. New comic guys, forgot to post it here yesterday!
