    Question for those in the know - I want to build Vhordrai but prefer the posing of the Terrorgheist. Is there anything stopping you building it as a Zombie Dragon but in the pose of the TG?

    I've done this with my VLOZD though it takes some greenstuff work. Getting the VL to sit right was the hardest part though all very doable.

    Never been a death guy, but I'm about to jump in with both feet (or claws?).

    Would the following be reasonable?

    Kastelai:

    Mannfred

    Prince Vhordrai

    Vengorian Lord (rousing commander!)

    3x5 Blood Knights

    1x10 Dire Wolves

    1x3 Vargheists

    Comes in a little shy of 2000.

    ....but I'd be buying everything tomorrow. gulp.

    Looks very fun to play, though I'm not convinced our elite army will be topping tourneys if that's your thing. That said, I'm likely going to be playing a very similar list narratively. Welcome friend!

    Mount armor: ???

    Assuming Blood Knights, I think the mounts would look excellent in the same scheme as their riders. Add some turquoise or reds for the cloth to make them pop.

    Deathrattle armor: Brass with rusted steel trim and black or dark grey cloth

    Painting a lot of these could be a hassle if you're doing all that trim. I think oxidized brass armor without the trim with the black cloth would be easier and look just as good.

    What of that do you do with airbrush vs. regular brush?  What paint line are those colors from?

    I base everything in S75 sunset purple with an airbrush and zenithal the Vallejo scurvy green. After that I mess around with Vallejo dead flesh highlights. Finally I glaze back in the green and purple. For some reason the forum isn't letting me upload a better picture.

     I'm starting to feel a bit nervous here.

    Same, though I think it's a common feeling when we get the first taste of the rules without the full context. Worst case we get lovely new models to paint, which is a majority of my hobby time. Though I doubt they'll hurt us that badly.

    It's definitely MUCH weaker than the previous endless legion rules, especially when you remember that we only get half as many gravesites to work with.

    I hope that gravesite are a pretty minor addition to the book. I am excited to see the double cast mechanic come back even though it's fairly swingy.

    They keep talking about how strong our casters are, but I can't imagine we'll be as strong as tzeentch, serephon or LRL. I'd be happy with easily accessible plus 1 casting or rerolls somewhere.

  7. I'll reserve my judgement until the end, but the endless legions ability is so tough to trigger. I hope it isn't a focus out our book.

    BR 1: our units are likely not destroyed/we likely haven't destroyed much

    BR 2: killing really starts, though wet are forced into an akward choice of get deathless minions mid board or endless legions back board. If we make a 5+ roll and a gravesite is open we get a (likely slow) 100pt unit t3

    BR 3+: summoned units won't likely be able to act in time to affect the outcome of the game.

  8. I already have a bunch of wolves, black knights and VLoZD. I'm stoked to get the mother of nightmares, blood knights, wight king and Belledona for a fast and hard hitting list. 

    I hope that this book isn't too complicated. There is a certain charm to the run up and smash them strategy. Especially for the beer and pretzel games.

  9. Property rights is a complicated topic that isn't easily solved with our current capitalist society. GW does have a large reach and is able to do the heavy lifting to generate hype and desire for the product. That isn't nothing, but the people piggy backing on it aren't just recasting or scanning the models. They put time and effort into reimagining some concepts. This happens all the time in media and I'd argue we all benefit from more content.

    Perhaps the problem is our society that doesnt allow people to reasonably build on other people's ideas while still giving back to the original creator. 

    I don't have any good answers to this nuanced issue, but I don't think we should be so quick to call this person morally corrupt.

    I've lurked this forum for years, but must break my self-imposed lurking to ask: WHAT is that gold formula? It is beautiful. I love the scheme you have here. I feel like you incorporated a lot of themes relating to pale blue starlight in the snow, it's wonderful. You single-handedly got me interested in this model range.

    Looks like S75 necro gold to viking gold would be close. Perhaps a bit of silver.
