Personally, I’m worried that they’ve just added these at a late stage because of complaints about it being chaos only, which makes me a bit worried about the balance. And there’s almost no chance they’ll be new models for the existing factions, which is slightly disappointing - if they’d have added them later they could have done new warbands for them.
I understand your concern. I was all for a chaos only game too, maybe expanded on later. On the other hand it seems like a big shift to decide to release 9 more warbands totally unplanned, it's entirely possible that this was part of the project from the start. I guess we'll know later!

Personally I'm pretty hyped, and a bit surprised how few people seem to be. The "chaos-only" game just announced 9 more non-chaos factions! Surely there will be a way to use those as the start of an aos army right? I guess on the internet it's mostly unhappy people that speak up. Even if they did make brand new minis for each faction, you'd have people disappointed because they really really hoped for tomb kings 😂

I personnally love the concept, as it harkens back to realm of chaos, and small warbands instead of huge legions of ultra evil armored guys.
I get why people who don’t like chaos are disappointed, although the teasers already hinted heavily at that kind of setting. If I wasn’t into chaos I would just use proxies of whatever army I like, shouldn’t be that hard

personnally I’m pretty excited about this. The models looks characterful, the terrain looks good and like it would integrate well with scratch-built stuff. I was hoping for a real AoS skirmish campaign game but I love the Realms Of Chaos aesthetic they are going for. My main hope is that there will be a decent campaign system and that the game won’t be too hard to homebrew.
I think GW are in a tight spot with these kind of games : some people want tight matched play rulesets for pickup games and tournaments, some people want freeform aos campaign skirmish, some want new models and some want to be able to play their old WHF minis, some people want it simple and some want it customizable... and obviously the bosses want to sell a ton of them 😂
so as long as it’s fun to play I’ll be houseruling and kitbashing in my living room. At least it’s a great occasion to build crazy chaos scenery; might have to get that skulls box...

I love your chaos army! Really does feel straight out of the RoC books
regarding the horrors I don’t know if you should try for as mih individuality as your other models, but maybe you can use various spot colors from your other models? For instance the blue horrors would be mainly in various shades of blue / teal, but with the occasional pink / yellow / green / whatever tentacle... if you use colors from the models you’ve already painted that might make them fit in with the rest of the army while retaining some individuality.

Well I just spent all of my likes! Awesome project man, and the paintjobs are perfect too. This army looks straight out of the old realms of chaos books
you should make a terrain piece to take your painted pictures on, I’m sure it would look great!

Wow great painting! I like your style, very bold and a lovely contrast with the grim appearance of the models. Does it take you a long time for each model with all those highlights?

It is very satisfying to see a cleaned up, optimized desk! Add to this painted terrain AND skirmish campaigns and I'm hooked. I love your clean, old-schoolish painting style too

@bottle no worries, I'm glad you liked my drawings
Thanks for pointing me towards these other projects. I am working hard on my art skills these days and I'd love to get my hobby dose by drawing warriors instead of kitbashing them.
Whenever you get to a point where you need some illustrations there's a good chance I'll still be interested

The infantry/balloon KO army fluff I'm making right now (getting Admiral tomorrow, first mini!) Fits right in to this. Any shame in using un-modded models if I'm not painted in skyport colors and my fluff game is strong?
Other question, I don't know anything about the lore of this world other than than KO book stuff. Is this expansive enough for me to just make my own little area and have it make sense?
Yeah the world is basically infinite, you definitely can make up your fluff without too much constraint.
IMO it's ok to use unconverted models (John Blanche did make concept art for kharadron minis!) but it may be harder to get that darker / stranger vibe. But if you're creative with the paintjob and basing I think you can still get some of that aesthetic
-
No miniatures to show right now, but that doesn't mean I'm not working on some dark aos stuff! I'm trying to get better at drawing some "realistic" and evocative fantasy stuff, as the artwork is one of the first things that drew me in when I discovered GW. These are not perfect but I want to build up to some very heavy stuff as I get better. Hope you guys like it, and I'm open to cricism if you have any

@ArcheiosAggelos they look great! It's cool to see some "good guys" warbands, with that nice variety of looks and not just the same uniform / size for every model. It always seems so much easier to convert cool stuff when you make chaos models, or maybe it's just my personal taste... Can't wait to see the other models painted.
It's also cool that you have a campaign with some npcs, I'd love to play games with that kind of rpg feel,that makes the setting feel much more alive.
As for something I'd like to see more of, if you have some terrain I am VERY interested, as I am in the process of trying some stuff out for my first real gaming table -
@bottle don't know if you're looking for this but I'd love to contribute to Hinterlands. While I don't play much at all I am an artist and I'd love to have a project that lets me do some dark fantasy illustrations. I know I'm far from the level of GW illustrators but I want to work on realistic drawings, and if I can offer some illustrations for your Hinterlands book I'd be thrilled
Here are some illustrations I did during my latest Mordheim kick three years ago (holy ****** time flies) :

I don't know if I'd be able to do big scenic drawings (though I'd love to try) but I know I can manage small decorative illustrations like there used to be in the old GW rule books. You know, a crow on a couple of skulls, a far away warrior contemplating a ruined tower, a mysterious treasure chest, that kind of stuff...
I understand that style is a matter of taste so no worries if you're not interested, and additionally to anyone reading this, if you need a couple of drawings feel free to ask me and I'll try to provide!-

Here's 2 other guys that are 90% done, I'll post them up with some flavor text when they're fully finished. Can't seem to be able to format well on mobile so here they are in order : the swine thief, The inbred fear-serf ,and my most recent kit-bash, the Deserter.
I know the pictures are not great but I'm open to any criticism and tips, about painting or converting

So I've actually made some decent progress on my painting, but I still have some detail work to do. I'll get to taking a few WIP shots, but in the meanwhile here's a black and white photo of my simplest mini, just a ghoul with a zombie head and a snail on its back. I also wrote some flavor text (more on my tga blog) :
As the path crossed a small clearing, Harek stopped and turned to look behind him. The forest was quiet. Just the dripping tune of a hidden creek down in the depth of the valley, and up in the peaks, the wind howling. Yet he felt watched. Maybe the darkness was getting to him. Barely any light passed through the thick canopy of the giant pines. was something moving behind that tree? Just a bark-snail leeching off a rotten stump...
with slightly unsteady hands he made the sign of the traveller's blessing, as much to calm himself as to ward off any evil spirits. The village should only be a few hours away now. Soon he'd be by a hot fire with a cold ale, and forget about that bloody Pale Eyes grove. He adjusted his pack and began walking again.
Silence returned in the small clearing.
A form slithered from old roots, bleak limbs briefly gleaming in the weak light, and disappeared again in the shadows along the path.
Pale eyes faded in the dark.

@Giuseppe gdb I love this! I can Imagine this as the pet of some creepy socialite lady, with a taste for the grotesque, or maybe as part of a duo of henchmen for a mad wizard, the other one being a big ogre-like bodyguard with a small animal's head...
@Moonlightwolf this is a great warband concept, I love the idea of some peasants carrying around a strangers slowly rotting corpse in a pathetic quest to pay a life debt!

Hello ca pourrait m'intéresser, particulièrement si c'est possible de jouer de l'escarmouche

@urion well you may not like them but they look sufficiently menacing! It's crazy how dark the sylvaneth got compared to 15-20 years ago...
As for me I can't paint this weekend but here's one of my recent figs. There's nothing GW except the base, and if I had to use it in a game it probably would be a zombie... the base is not done yet but I think the paint job is ok, although I'd love some honest feedback

@AlexRasmussen I love your Khorne gals! I feel that Khorne is often reduced to big red guys with axes, it's really nice to see something different. Very cool!
I just got started this week as a returning hobbyist, and finding this forum pushed me over the edge to start a small warband for skirmish and narrative play. I'm enjoying the freedom that comes with the vastness of the Aos universe, and I'm working on some fluff. Basically my group are the ragged followers of a minor Chaos demon who preys on scared creatures. He offers a hiding place to the fugitives running from blood thirsty soldiers, lost cattle chased by wolves, mutants lost and homeless. And in exchange they serve him, bring him stolen offerings or captives.
I have a lot more to say about all that but I'll wait until I actually complete some of my figs before throwing wall of text at al of you
Warcry is Killteam/Mordheim... ?

Yeah I like your idea @Overread but there are symbols who seem to be IDK, DoK that don’t have underworlds warbands
