I have painted each box of my Troggs differently, even though some are fielded in units of 6.  As you say a Troggboss will gather a herd around them as they travel so it made sense to me that there would be a variety of colours as Troggs gathered from different locations along the way.  It also meant I was never bored of painting the same scheme over and over again.  I made all the bases the same, which is enough to tie them together.  The beauty is there is no established norm for how a Trogg should look, so any colour scheme is possible.

Thanks for the reply. I will go different colours- as you say should making painting them all more fun!

Hi all,

 

Been wanting to do a troggoth army since the models where released. After reading the new stuff in white dwarf I am diving in. After reading how the troggs will start to follow a powerful leader, it got me thinking. Should I paint up my troggoths in the same colour scheme so they look like they match when having a game or should I do them all different so they look like they are all random and are just coming from all over  to follow the leader- will make the bases match so they look like an army.

just wondered if people with more experience then me thought would best or they would prefer to play against.

thank you

[Your most disappointing unit in the game]

The Splintered fang- some of the best models- but can not take a mark and not really worth taking them with marauders available! Still I have painted them up as I love the models!

[AoS 2 - Slaves to Darkness 2 Discussion]

Thanks for the info- I can get on with my plan now- thanks again!

[AoS 2 - Slaves to Darkness 2 Discussion]

Ok this might be odd to ask but does anyone know if the blood bowl teams will go on 25mm bases at all please? Never seen the models in person.

I was just thinking I might use the Nurgle team as a base for my marauders. Just depends if they will fit on a 25mm base- it say they come with 32mm. Thanks for reading.

[AoS 2 - Slaves to Darkness 2 Discussion]

Ok great- thanks for the correction. You are stars.

[AoS 2 - Slaves to Darkness 2 Discussion]

Thank you so much for that 

[AoS 2 - Slaves to Darkness 2 Discussion]

Sorry to post this sort of question but I can not find the answer in the FAQ- I might just be missing it, but I have tried.

can anyone please just confirm the base size of the chaos lord on foot please?

He definitely has potential but I haven't tried it out yet. Nurgle can speed him up significantly and/or give him run and charge, the harbinger of decay can make him more resilient, and a great unclean one could buff his attacks. The tricky part I've always found is archaon is a lot of points and nurgle units are generally pretty expensive too. It's difficult to write a list with him that gives you everything you want. If I were going to try it, my list would be something like Archaon, a harbinger, chaos sorcerer, 2x5 blight kings, 40 marauders, a warshrine, and maybe 10 plaguebearers.

Thank you so much for your advice- I think I will start building up some Nurgle minis now and see what I can do with them.

Thanks again.

[AoS 2 - Maggotkin of Nurgle Discussion]

Hey,

was just wondering if I could please ask for a bit of advice from some experienced Nurgle players.

i have been building but a StD army and have been painting them up as Nurgle and loved it. So been thinking I might do a full Nurgle army.

my main question is would Archaon do well in a full a Nurgle army?

Was thinking the big guy and some blight kings as a base to start from. I have got the start collecting set and hope to use it all.

Many thanks for taking the time to read this.

[AoS 2 - Skaventide Discussion]

Thanks for the advice- I would love to have put jazels in but unfortunately I will not have them painted in time for the tournament- the hell pit is an interesting idea- might give him a run out as not actually ever used him before!

thanks for the advice 👍🏻

[AoS 2 - Skaventide Discussion]

Thanks for the ideas- might just give that a go -thank you

[AoS 2 - Skaventide Discussion]

Hey guys,

 

Been a while since the skaven had a run out but I have a one day tournament coming up and thought I might dust them off for a run out.

Was thinking of the following list:

 

Verminlord Warpseer 

Arch warlock

Warlock engineer

Warlock engineer

20x clan rats

20x clan rats

20x clan rats

6x stormfiend 

3x stormfiends 

Warp lightening cannon

 

Might swap out an engineer for a couple of endless spells.

Anyone think that this will be ok please? 
I just think it will be fun to play.

[AoS 2 - Fyreslayers Discussion]

Looks like I might still need to paint another 20 then.

Just when I thought I was nearly done 😂

They are not unplayably bad, the broadaxes are just more reliable in almost every situation imo.

Thanks for that- not a worried now.

Will give them a run out and see what happens.

Fair enough, I came to that conclusion as well after reading your previous post and rethinking it.  

 

Wish I had looked into all this before I built and just finished painting up my 30x poleaxes!!!!! I just liked the idea of the mortal wounds from them- oh well I will give them ago at some point and see how they do.

hopefully they will be ok- not sure I can face painting up another 30/40 fyreslayers as I finally get to the point of finishing my army.

[AoS 2 - Slaves to Darkness 2 Discussion]

Does anyone think/have experience of converting up and using free guild guards as marauders?

just I have a box sitting around and thought I might try and make them Nurgle marauders.

[AoS 2 - Slaves to Darkness 2 Discussion]

Well I think I have been inspired to do a StD army- after reading here and loving some of the models.

Entered my first 2000pt tournament, at last been wanting to for 2years now. 
I am thinking of the following list.

Hopefully I might pull at least one win out the bag.

Host of the everchosen 6th circle

All marked Nurgle:

Archeon

Chaos sorcerer lord

Chaos warshrine

Varanguard x3

Varanguard x3

20x chaos marauders 

10x splinter fang

10x splinter fang

i know I should probably take 40x marauders but love the splinter fang models and am hoping I can have a few different units chasing objectives etc.

[AoS 2 - Fyreslayers Discussion]

My only idea has been to run some Auric Hearthguard, to try and take some of the damage.

i am sure other people will have better ideas than me.

[JH Miniatures VIDEO TUTORIALS Thread]

Awesome- thank you for these videos 👍🏻

[AoS 2 - Slaves to Darkness / Darkoath Discussion]

This might be the time I get myself Archaon and just have him supported by Varanguard- always fancied that set up!

Looking forward to the new book!

[Why are you here?]

Mine was quite simple- couple of years ago- my then 6 year old and me walked past a GW store, and he loved the window and asked to go in. We went it and it all looked awesome- he is a Halloween massive fan and instantly fell in love with the death faction. He wanted to buy stuff, but I made home wait. After about 3 weeks of no stop talking about it we went and go a starter set and some paints. He really enjoyed it. Then I started painting and playing against him and I loved it as well. 
Now I am hooked- just need to find some people to regularly play against and enter my first big 5 game tournament!

[Why and If Age of Sigmar Is In A Great Spot Right Now]

I am loving it. Still waiting to join my first big tournament- only been to a couple of one day tournaments- so not up to speed on balance etc.

the lore is spot on. The game is great fun to play- the models are super.

My only issue is how good the new Battletome are, coupled with the great models are making it impossible to pick which army to build up next!

[OscarLars Painting Stuff - Ossiarch Bonereaper Update!]

Awesome job- I thought I had done my fyreslayers a bit different, but this is something else- great work!

[General Hobby Chatter!]

Yep CoS and Orruks.

 

That sounds like a good plan. I set myself a rule ofnot buying stuff until my last stuff was painted. Seems to have worked up to now. Might just start both at the same time.

Thanks for the input.
