Between this, your main publication and Roll Models back from hiatus the Mortal Realms have been truly blessed to have such wit mixed in with their glory.
Thanks, I think Warhammer requires humour & grimdarkness. One enhances the other like sugar and salt

Hey guys,
some of you have already seen my webcomic Neverchosen that was commissioned by Warhammer Community.
since people seemed to like it, I have decided to do my own series that I can publish while waiting for the next order from GW.
It’s called Mortel Realms (my art name is Pierre Mortel) and will be released every Wednesday. I’ll post them here in this thread when they go up, to avoid spamming the forum.
I hope you’ll like them!

If you have some first time players, I’d say focus on the basics without adding monsters and mercenaries. Looks like a fun event anyways!

Oh, I didn’t know the season is already completed?
Yeah I think it was kind of a test run for them, I didn’t expect them to drop the 7 strips at once though.

@JackStreicher I’ll read up on the idoneth, if I’m correct the thralls are the low class, soul starved warriors right?
@Tittliewinks22 yeah the gloomspite gits have a lot ot fun drug shenanigans possible
so I don’t know yet when I’ll get to make a season 2 of Neverchosen, but it’s been so fun doing these that I’m gonna start my own unofficial series. I have some material ready so I’ll post about it in a few days, just a few things to sort out!

Thanks everyone for the kind words, I’m all out of reactions!

Please consider doing one with Lady Olynder and Kurdoss Valentian 😂
I’d have to brush up on my fluff haha. They’d be pretty cool to draw, although i have to say I’d like to focus mostly on non named characters. Stories about the guys who get removed on the first round kind of thing
Then again, I do love how those nighthaunt looks...

(I don't know why but some of your strips make me think of Dilbert by Scott Adams.....)
And as I said, frankly, you nailed it.
Please keep it up !
I will! I did have a few dilbert books growing up, I always liked the weirder side of his comics.

I’m glad you like them, I wanted them to be more like regular comics and not « you have to know the fluff to get the joke » kind of thing

Man. Those are GREAT.
(IMO waaay better than the other one they stopped BTW, at least I prefer your humor...)
You really nailed it ! Especially the faces. And the fact you get very well some fluffy bits (like the Warcry guy)
Thanks man! I really wanted to have something that's really warhammer, but at the same time can still be funny to someone who doesn't know the setting.

Thanks, I found the sylvaneth kinda tricky to write for, but forest folk obviously hate littering...

Some of you may remember a couple of comics I posted a while ago! Well one thing led to another, as they say, and today the first season of my comic strip Neverchosen is hitting the web!
I though I’d share since this is the main place I go to for AoS discussion. I hope you’ll like them!

I've planned to slowly build up hobby supplies, paints and models (silver lining in both Lumineth and Gargants taking so long to come out!) the coming few months. Because I've been "blessed" with poor eyesight even a decade ago I couldn't get details on my models right. So finally got today a magnifying lamp! Grabbed my yet unpainted Gotrek and it felt really amazing to be able to really see all details without having to keep it half an inch from my eyes! Although I dare not to paint him until I get more practice, been so long since last time.
I however am unsure what brushes of all things are most essential to get 'battle-ready' miniatures. If you'd have to suggest a handful (GW or not), which would they be?
So as mentioned this my not work for you if you have sight issues, but I have found that something like a GW basecoat brush works very well for me 90% of the time. Smaller brushes keep drying off too fast. The main thing is to take good care of the tip so that it stays sharp. Other than that, a large brush for washes and a soft flat one for drybrush make up most of what I use.

I joined here because ironically despite the main purpose of this forum being AoS it seemed to be the only place to have a reasonable discussion over the returning Old World , this place seems a haven from bitter ex players who cannot get over their hatred of everything GW or those dancing on the grave of WFB.
I really don’t think this place is a haven for bitter ex players and WFB grave dancers (new undead unit?). I think you’ll find that these types of posts are generally met with pushback; it’s just that the more extreme opinions tend to stick out in our minds. There are only a few agitators looking for conflict /venting. I mostly see people who love both settings and competitive aos players. Personally I do like both settings, and I’m glad they’re bringing back the old world. I hope you’ll come back to posting as moderate people need to be heard lest these kinds of debates turn into pointless flame wars!

I don’t play CoS but I like reading the exchange of point of views here.
It does seem like people who wanted to have a easily playable list with an old wfb army have a tougher challenge. I understand why it can suck; on the other hand it’s not a problem specific to AoS since a lot of factions struggled for years with outdated army books, and some units gained or lost power through the editions. Still it feels like with a bit of flexibility you could do some interesting dwarves or empire lists if you try.
On the other side I get that it’s frustrating to see people playing « half the army » and complaining that it sucks. There’s so much cool modeling opportunities too for a combined force. Still most people complaining are just venting or a bit emotional about the good old days and it’s not a reason to start thinking of « old world players » as a bunch of sour grapes.
Except for a certain frozen goat who seems hell bent on screaming it’s hatred to everyone, in every thread, no matter what response it gets... it’s starting to feel like trolling, sorry, troggothing...
to sum it up, let’s all be nice to eachother, also I’m not a mod 😅

The stats seem balanced at a glance, but I feel they look pretty weak compared to what I’d expect a troggoth to be like, especially the fellwater troggoths. In my opinion they should be stronger than a stormcast, at least comparable to an ogor breacher.
If I were to design a troggoth warband (which I won’t haha), I’d aim for a cost of around 300 per troggoth, and have some weak squig options to fill it out. So a warband would be 1-3 troggoth and 2-12 squigs.

To be honest I understand that people want to take Warhammer really seriously and thrive to be as good as they can, but it seems like an especially hard choice for a hardcore competitive hobby. Between the buckets of dice, constantly changing rules, huge range of models, ease of cheating etc. I agree the designers should strive to limit the obstacles to competitiveness, but it's important to keep in mind that that's not actually the primary aim of the game. It's designed to be playable by 10 years old and up, with or without the myriad of supplement and faqs, and have a decently fun game with some tactical challenges if you're so inclined.
In the case of this archaon rule, clearly it was designed to have that feel of revealing what Archaon saw in the future. It may be clunky but 90% of players will use it in their garage with their friends. I'm sure it could be improved though! Just saying that hardcore tournament play is not the focus of the rules.
In my opinion GW games don't really work without a gentlemen's agreement. This impedes competition, but also fosters great social bonds. That's why I'm not too thrilled when I hear people that want to see an e-sports scene, cash prizes and such. If organizers want that kind of competitiveness, the ideal to me would be that they write their own tournament comps and refereeing process. I'd rather the "official" way to play stay friendly.
Sorry for going a bit off topic, and of course I understand not everyone will agree with me

Loving all those ideas! Of course Open Play is now the main official way to play. In fact the only way to use points is to use a random points generation table for each unit.
About half the scenarios are cooperative, with goals such as restoring the dried up plains of Aqshy through irrigation (IDK and dispossessed) or reaching a constructive compromise regarding the menu of a huge feast (FeC and Sylvaneth). 1v1 scenarios include things like a friendly race (sportsmanship grants double the points) or getting the best spot to set up camp (sharing is caring!). -

Well I’m not sure if the skaven race would even find themself existing in such a universe.
unless of course they all have become some kind of backstabbing politicians, manipulating the masses, to ensure that their wishes will be full-filled.
Yes-yes
although I’m not sure what would happen to the rest of the skaven-race. After-all there are far too many of them.

’d have Nurgle offering free hugs, which is what he does now...is Nurgle the true God of peace?
I’m sure with this new age of prosperity, all their diseases are gone and they’re a bunch of smooth skinned buddhas lol.
Although I have trouble picturing the peaceful version of your chaos monstrosities...
Nighaunt as gardeners work well, someone’s gotta reap that corn too! Maybe an alliance with the sylvaneth is possible after all.

Silly idea thread...
5 years after blowing up the Old World, GW take another controversial step and reforge AoS into a new kind of miniature game : in the brightness of the nine realms, there is only peace...
Hordes of civilians gather and don’t clash, resolving conflicts through bribery, seduction, economic incentives and the power of friendship!
What does your army look like in this bizarro game? how does it play?
I think I would have a force of gloomspite gitz that would center around holding objectives by staging squigpipe concerts that attract crowds of goblins, while potions and mushrooms dealers rip off the enemy with overpriced junk food and cheap drugs.

I think @Sleboda makes a good point about the spikes. But overall I don’t think it would affect the game that much. The main thing imo would be to set up the terrain before drawing any deployment, twist and victory conditions. That way no player can consciously influence the layout in their advantage.

If people are thinking we are ever going to get warcry like mini sets for normal order humans they are sadly mistaken. GW clearly hate normal humans and the very idea of them in age of sigmar. It's the absolute worst thing about age of sigmar the total neglect of the main human faction. Imagine if d and d got rid of the human race??? Why do GW not realise how many thousands of people are waiting for them to release more human factions for age of sigmar. It definitely won't happen though. As their total neglect of order humans in warcry shows.
Actually I think you’re right, GW hate humans. There’s just no other explanation for the lack of normal humans. There’s been some kind of nefarious corruption inside their design studio, and every single employee is driven by a powerful, visceral hatred for the idea of releasing new order human models. This terrible curse takes precedence over any other desire, even thirst and hunger. They’re probably reading your posts right now, relishing in your desperation, groaning with pleasure at the idea of drinking your bitter tears... if only there was a cure!

Hey Narrative folks! I've been running a series of Narrative events that revolve around constructing "Soul Engines" that will be custom terrain pieces (kind of a catch all for anything from a temple to a death laser). I like to organize my stories into 5 event arcs and I fear I've hit a wall in the storytelling.
At Event 1 the players explored a stormvault and looted its treasures.
At Event 2 they battled over a the technologically advanced ruins of an empire in Chamon, gathering parts to combine with the treasures of the vault and the broken Penumbral.
At Event 3 (in January) the forces of Chaos have blockaded the ports of an Order city and both sides are trying to smuggle parts in to finish a Soul Engine that the people of the city are constructing.
I know that I want the Event 5 to involve players fielding their own custom Soul Engines on the battlefield, but I don't know where to go with Event 4. Anybody have any ideas?
Maybe you could have them try to loot a realmstone mine, because they need the stone to power their Engines? Or take down a great beast that has swallowed an ancient artefact that would triple their power? Control key geographic features needed for the ritual that will activate the engine?
I can keep goinf if you want 😅

I am thinking that they will go with a 'Denizens of the Realms' approach in the summer and release warbands based on *normal humans from each realm. They wouldn't all have to be from the Cities of Sigmar but they would all have to be from Order I think.
* as far as anyone from the Realms could be considered
That could be the basis of a great 2nd wave / 2nd edition of Warcry that takes the game out of the eight points. Have the narrative center around the quest for hidden realmgates for instance. Release 8 new warbands that are a non chaos reflection of the warcry ones. Alchemists from Chamon, trappers from Ghur, Azyr explorers...
Mortel Realms, a new AoS webcomic (again?)
in Age of Sigmar Discussions
Posted
It is wednesday my dudes, which means it's time for another Mortel Realms comic!
Some of you may have already seen this one a while ago on the forum, but don't worry as I am working on some new ones for as soon as I am done posting my backlog.
