On a different topic, anyone know of any good wardokk proxies out there?

I've seen some easy conversions of a basic savage orruk + a beast skull from GWs "Skullbox".

[Would you buy a 'Lore Annual'?]

This sounds like a very good idea, though I'd like a bit higher quality than the general GHB as others have mentioned.

[AoS 2 - Ironjawz Discussion]

That's sad, as it's awesome models, and I'd love to field them.

I guess the best option is to buy two packs and mix them with other Brutes units, to make a new Brute unit, and convert the left over orruk into a Warchanter.

Even if the increase is unjustified, I find it pretty much irrelevant. Almost all list will still take 1 shaman for the hand of gork. [...]

Have you considered running Bloodtoof to save the points and use the Hand through the artefact instead?

It's one use only, but it's guaranteed. Of course you give up the -1 and such from Ironsuns, but also gain other benefits instead, so it's a muddy comparison perhaps.

On another note, the new warband up for preorder this saturday! Please let them have some cooler AoS rules than the 4 ardboyz warband...

I hope they have the correct keywords, so they can be included in the appropriate battalion.

They probably won't, but then maybe 2x of the new warband can become a regular brute unit. Plus an extra orruk to convert into a warchanter or something 🙂

[AoS 2 - Ironjawz Discussion]

If we accept the notion of the new meta being one of super-casters, and we simply bow out of the magic game by not bringing any wizards, is it still worth it to bring a Rogue Idol in an Ironjawz (or Big Waaagh) army?

It's 420 but still decent at punching things and have the Ironjawz keywords, so still gets all the Ironjaw buffs, especially Mighty Destroyers and Hand of Gork through Bloodtoof artefact if needs be.

 

Also those new Blood Bowl Black Orcs look like they could easily be moved to a 40mm base and double as Brutes. Especially if their hands gets replaced by spare Brute weapons. 🙂

Warhammer community site under Downloads is the monstrous arcanum faq that’s dated 16/7/20 After the GHB in which the rogue idol is 400 points 

That is true, but in the document itself, this line is above the list of points:

 

So even though it was uploaded after the release of GHB2020, it seems that the list of points haven't been updated since March 2020, which is then perhaps nullify the argument that the 400 supersceeds the 420.

I have the book

If that's true, you should go post the points for the Mega-gargants in the Gargant thread. Pretty sure lots of people are wanting to know 🙂

[Rogue Idol Alternative models?]

Better late than never right?

I finally got around to converting and painting my own take on the Rogue Idol. Base model is the Glacier King I described earlier in the thread, and even if the pictures doesn't quite do the model justice, I think it gives a relatively decent idea of what it came out to be.

 

[AoS 2 - Gloomspite Gitz Discussion]

I have been toying with an idea of both use my Rogue Idol and the Gitmob Gitz by focusing on grots wizards.

The Rogue Idol will be counted as allies so the allegiance is intact and Skragrott is the general.

Do you think this list is any good? If so, is it good tournament material?

[Covering The Expanding Costs Of TGA]

I like the Bolter & Chainswords yearly donation drive as previously mentioned by others  the best.

If you want to put ads on the site, it would not bother me as I run with full ad and scriptblockers, so I wouldn't be exposed to them. But I wouldn't mind chipping in through other means, preferbly lump sums rather than monthly subscription, though.

[The Rumour Thread]

Finally!

Can't wait to get my hands on all of it, and hope there are more goodies waiting to be revealed in the following days. Only thing is, that all of those new models would've been good options for the Xmas wishlist :-)

[The Rumour Thread]

The Mortis Engine/Coven throne kinda-sorta already fits the looks of what a ghostly flying pirate ship would, though.

[The Rumour Thread]

Neat but short.

I guess we'll be seeing more to the Wraith fleet.

Open Day reveals are posted at Warhammer Community, without so much as a mention of AoS:

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/11/25/all-the-latest-from-the-warhammer-40000-open-day-nov-25gw-homepage-post-1/

 

Says "that's it" at the end, so I don't think there is more coming from Open Day. Looks like we won't get any news on AoS until 2018, barring maybe a New Years Teaser like they did at the end of 2016.

Well, it is 40k Open Day.*

So that can't come as too much of a disappointment.

*I know some Necromunda and 30k was also revealed, but those are all in-universe games.

Saw this on Bolter & Chainsword amongst other 40k rumours:

You mean Cthulhu elves for sure, right?

Did they announce winners of that paint set for those who downloaded the app in the first week? 

Yea. Some other Dane won and reposted it on the Danish Warhammer Facebook group. I don't know how many winners they drew, but I've seen at least one.

- Glottkin is weird. Why is he not a Daemon? Why doesn't he have DR? Does anybody even know how Horrific Opponent even works?? He needs much more given the fact he can't take artifacts or allegiance.
[...]

Going over the strenghts and weaknesses of the current Nurgle Daemon/Rotbringers choices is going to be a lenghty discussion unfit for the rumour thread, but I just wanted to address one thing.

Glottkin is not one guy.

It is three brothers, the Glott brothers, hence Glottkin. So if the Blight kings or Rotbringer sorcerers are not daemons then I don't see why the two smaller brothers should be either. Still I can see why the bigger brother could be classified as a daemon for sure.

 

Anyways I hope all these smaller pieces turn out to be a Nurgle daemon release after the Death Guard have had their hour to shine. This is the year of Nurgle after all, right? :-)

'As well as saving you some money, this set provides you with a Herald of Nurgle, providing some much needed magical support to the army' from the Blightwar article.

Eh.. since when or how does Heralds provide magical support?

When I read that part, I had to scroll back up to make sure I was actually reading an AoS article and not a 40k article. In 40k the Herald of Nurgle is actually a wizard and have a decent aura-buff (+1STR). Is this a mistake in the article or will we see the Daemons of Nurgle warscrolls more closely reflect their 40k counterparts?

I hope so, because the Herald of Nurgle in 40k great compared to the very lackluster AoS version :-)

No great unclean one either though...

There have been no precedent for including greater daemons, so that it only includes the lesser (/non-named) Nurgle daemons is on par with previous chaos codex.

[The Rumour Thread]

That Rumour Engine picture of the tentacle is apparently not Cthulhu Elves, as it's features as a token, crawling out from a manhole, in Necromunda in the new video they put out.

[Rogue Idol Alternative models?]

I have the Hordes Glacier King on hand to be converted into a Rogue Idol. Just got the new base size to match the one listed on Forgeworld today (170x105) :-)

I plan on using some of the GW texture paints to make the snow into dust and dirt, and will paint him to look like something fitting the Realm of Ghur. Some skulls from the new skull-kit, twigs from Sylvaneth or nature, a handful of tufts and cutting off or covering of the icicles should do most of the work, then I hope the paintjob will do the rest to make it look like a pile of rocks, dust, skulls and debris got animated by Orruk WAAAGH energy.

[The Rumour Thread]

New Nurgle daemons (soon!) plus a new Realm campaign! Today is a good day :-)
