‘Looks like farts’ is now my favourite phrase, thanks Double Misfire.

Another great army Duke. Do you get to play with these huge forces much or is it more a collecting thing?

Yes please on the pics, I’m after KoS ideas!

I think any token can work as it will remind you that something is in effect, can usually then remember what it is if prompted like that. Ive based some individual nurglings on 20mm bases to paint up and use for this reason, I do have the specific MDF tokens but they do spoil the look of the board a bit.

Really nice, I like the darker, muted tones, the splashes of colour really stand out then.

Warpgnaw could take a friendly skaven unit with him, and could only cast one spell per turn.

For a wild moment I thought it could be generic monsters to take as mounts for heroes etc, but I don’t know if it would fit with the whole ‘no model no rules’ shtick given how it would only work with conversions.

Even if they didn’t make a huge free people’s release I think the setting would massively improve if more focus was given to a normal human faction. It grounds the whole setting. I’ve never owned a human army but it’s still my point of comparison to the ones I do own; my skeletons feel terrifying cause I know if I had to fight them it would be terrifying, my nurgle are disgusting as they would disgust any sane person, my Orcs seem savage and cruel compared to human soldiers fighting to protect their civilised homes. Giant immortal thunder warriors just can not provide this anchor (in my opinion, obviously!)

Yeah I think that’s a pretty accurate summary, but I still don’t think it means Orruks and Gitmob are safe from removal unfortunately. By the way you can still find the war scrolls for the removed Goblin units through google, I’ve just saved them all.

Fine, but they should put something out to that effect so some poor kid doesn’t unwittingly spend a fortune on models that become outdated overnight

I agree, if you’ve seen the new Mantic dwarf model that is identical to a Kharadron overlord it’s obvious that it’s not copyright issues and more likely getting people to move away from older armies for which they may already have a lot of models.

I think this is the key, a bit of honesty about what’s gonna happen with the factions before people invest money and time in an army that is then rendered (practically) useless.

Greenskinz are already dropping out, I know not every region is the same but in the UK the warboss is NLA and I can’t see the start collecting box on there either. I’ve got myself a growing Orcs and Goblins army that I love but I’ve always been half expecting this. It is what it is, and I really enjoy the AoS setting and am happy to play with the newer factions (please dont get rid of the skaven though GW!) I’m seriously considering re-rebasing my Greenskins to squares and playing some 6th Ed WHFB with them.

Would have worked on me, would have snaffled up some goblin wolf riders!

I certainly hope I’m wrong, I love my Greenskins!

It wasn’t long ago they produced an article about what an unsung hero the Orruk Warboss was, and he was No Longer Available a few days later. If GW are going to get rid of old Orcs and Goblins then it’s a shame but understandable, but saying “everything’s fine, keep buying them” when the plan is to axe them shortly is pretty poor. I think the writing has been on the wall for a while for the Greenskinz and Gitmob for a while, seems like this might be it.

Satsuma bags?

I’d love a huge 12,000 points a side game... I have no concept of how long it would take or how big a table you’d need but I’m sure it would be a blast. Epilogue; I was right about my chrimbo tree... between Christmas and my birthday yesterday I pushed the Nurgle army to 8.5K, and I think i may roll my beastmen into it and push it past 10,000!

I don’t think I will ha ha.

No gitmob, shame if that’s the case. Squigs are awesome, going to be hard not to buy loads.

I just spied Warhammer Quest in the shelf there, bravo! You must have a good percentage of the monster lists within this amazing collection.

It’s actually grown a bit but this is the last muster of my Nurgle army, it’s just ticked past 7000 and I believe there’s a few Nurgley goodies under the chrimbo tree as well. I don’t think i’ll ever stop adding to the army, it’s always fun and a forgiving hobby project... if I make a mistake I can just blob on some Nurgle’s rot.

I’d love to see what 1300 clan rats looks like on a tabletop! Kind of ties into my own resolution to embrace the collecting side of the hobby and build the armies I have to ginormous levels rather than get distracted and start any more! I’m moving in the new year and will be able to have a dedicated area for my minis rather than packed away in boxes, so I want my Nurgle army especially to look like an actual army on display, kind of like the cover of the Lost and Damned. I also want to get into the narrative side of the game and make up some battle plans that are fun, away from the 2000 point standard. (Any narrative / narrative curious players in Essex by the way?)

ANOTHER 13,000... awesome.

Not the best photo but here’s my exalted GUO, he’s a happy chap and still a great model, even if his plastic chums are now more statuesque.
