  1. Thats very much what I've been doing tbf. I don't see myself playing S2D in aos anymore. Now I just need to find ways to kitbash some flails.
  2. I don't know enough about WHFB lore to do lots of these but my stuff I would like and some stuff i reckon: Wood elves: -Sisters of twilight, i just love the idea of two sassy sisters flying around hecking stuff up. Warriors of chaos: -I would go with Valkia since she has such an easily attainable model. But there's the whole AoS/Old World competetive selling debate. -Possibly the old chaos troll king that they did as a made to order before, could be good for the more norsca-ey theme (if hes even born at this point) Empire: -I'd expect fresh new characters like they did with two of the Brett ones. Tomb kings: -Khalida would make sense and is a pretty great model
  3. Yeah I was thinking of making 20 of them. I have 2 boxes so was planning 20 GW, 10 S/S (because I like the models) who can always sit in the back rows as extra GW boys and girls in a pinch and then use the spare 10 bodies for conversions and such. I also kinda wish we had a few options of great weapons without the second hand molded on so I could use them for grail knight conversions but that should be a fairly easy fix anyway. Also using the upper torsos on KotR legs shouldn't be too hard a conversion.
  4. I'm also curious to see how people have been running / theorycrafting foot knights as the models are -gorgeous-. My thoughts are using them with great weapons as I'm not sure there's much need for them being an anvil with sword and shield when yeoman guard/men at arms blobs are so cheap. One thing I have discovered during my game with brets I had vs goblins was that a baron on royal pegasus with the exiles magic axe and gromril helm is an absolute beast in combat. She really ran rampant through some units and I had the good fun of doing enough overkill during a challenge that she managed to make an entire unit of orcs and their warboss flee and get run down...
  5. I also use my ogroids as chaos Ogres. Yeah I think thats a good shout using the blood secrator as a BSB, it'll definitely stand out. I'd say you definitely have enough models to make a proper sized list. With the newer chaos stuff though you may need to do some alterations to make them rank up. For knights especially I had to trim the cloak and armswap the unit champion to make him rank up well on the 30x60mm
  6. Hey fellow marauders, chosen, and forsaken! Since we now have an old world sub forum It seems appropriate for a topic about the true rulers of the old world. The chaos gods!! Has anyone gotten games in with our wonderful warriors or are you still in the theory crafting and painting stages? I managed to have a game against dwarves yesterday and I've found our roster to be interesting at least. I mostly ran chaos warriors with some chosen knights, ogres, a demon prince, exalted champion, and exalted sorcerer. I think we can have some really fun magic and I definitely like daemonology for us. I'm glad I gave all my heroes favoured by chaos even if my champion did reroll a 1 into a 1. One thing I found was it felt like whilst my DP was very tough she really lacked solid damage having only the ap-1 from ensorcelled weapon, though granted she did end up getting stuck going into iron breakers. Some of our main issues I found were the slowness of the warriors and the high cost of the units meaning losing a unit really hurt in terms of VP's. Does anyone have any units they're finding to prove quite useful or like the look of? I will say though I did enjoy my game and like that our basic infantry have some really nice stat lines that help them keep alive and do some damage as well. Even if I kept forgetting half my extra rules...
  7. My pledge for this month is to try and finish off some bretonnians I've been working on. Namely my questing knights and my men at arms.
  8. That's a big part of their draw for me.
  9. I'm working on bretonnians (notably exiles) but I'm also debating tomb kings and possibly wood elves. I don't want to get too involved in lots of army projects again though. I have enough issue with that in aos.
  10. Are the rider and mount separate? I want to be able to like replace the lance with an axe etc and that looks tough if its all printed together.
  11. Not sure if this is the right place to ask but does anyone have any recommendations for kitbashing a bretonnian Hippogryph? Especially now that we know its a 50mm base. Ive got a spare victrix african war elephant since im turning one into elephant artillery for my border prince bombard. Would an elephant with wings work for my hippogryph (elephogryph)? Or would that look a bit too goofy?
  12. I believe the wizard lord and general on griffon are both in the same kit together. It's different head and rider options. (Also whichever one you go with you can probably build the other as a foot option if you sort some legs). As for which to go for in lists... magnetise the head and riders so you don't have to choose?
  13. Interesting thought, they're an odd unit but odd in a good way as they seem to have a few different ways you can utilise them. I might try out running 2 squads to hang with my main front lines and add some damage whilst keeping them alive. Being able to stack that healing on a unit can really add up over the game definitely. Could be very interesting combined with the 4+ rally from the manticore lady but thats also a ton of points and probably not needed.
  14. Does anyone know how tall the ironweld great cannon is? I know its on a 90mm base. Wanting to get an idea because I might be debating kitbashing an elephant cannon.. (I've been playing too much Medieval 2 total war) and want to try and get dimensions so I can sort out a model as I think the lotr mumak might be way too large.
  15. Cav heavy is my ideal so that sounds great Thanks! Is there a particular consensus yet on which weapon is best for the marshall? They each seem to have pros and cons so im not too sure myself on which would be preferable. Im not too keen on the lance as I like to be able to pack a punch even when I don't charge!
  16. Out of curiosity how feasible do people think running a marshall griffon and Tahlia could be? Thinking having the two big threats to run around terrorizing stuff could be fun but I'm also not sure if they're considered deadly enough to warrant the cost in the list. I generally prefer running smaller model count lists but don't want to be too janky.
  17. Continuing the techhy chamon theme I had with my fusilier kitbashes I have now made some cavaliers from the 40k rough rider kit with some sallet helm style headswaps (but keeping the cool mongolian style hats) The kit itself feels like it translates pretty nicely over to AoS for that more realm of metal feel as the horses themselves dont have anything tooo out of place really.
  18. As long as they don't venture into croissant dragons else nintendo will jump right on them! And not even GW will outlawyer nintendo 🤣 (Referring to Mega Salamence for those not familiar with pokemon) I'm tempted depending on box price since I don't yet have any dragons... though not too sure if I'm that fussed about Ionus but he could always be a fun base for a conversion.
  19. If stormcast end up getting shooty murder pyramids or croissant ships then I'm calling the police...
  20. Have you had a chance to test this? I've been wanting to play around with Yhetees myself but never had a chance. And do you find the thundertusk to be particularly useful? I know that for the most part people have often preferred the double stonehorn.
  21. Ooh definitely worth trying. Anything within 18" of a board edge is at risk of a sudden gossamid snipe. Even if not an amazing damage output it could definitely be good for forcing a reaction to it and disrupting things.
  22. https://www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/lupkX09pqasyeMBX.pdf Here you go! Warscrolls can be found on Wahapedia, not sure if we're okay to link that site here though.
  23. What are people's thoughts on adding in the Elthwin's Thorns regiment of renown? I'm tempted to add it in for a bit of fun and some speedy flying harassing units but I'm not sure if they're just going to be a lot of points for something that won't help much. I already have an Arch-Revenant so would just need to pick up the gossamids.
  24. Playing around with the breacher kit to try and make a very chamon flavoured fusiliers and struggling a bit with the guns. Tried an ogor pistol which looked a bit too chunky so now trying some of these admech weapons which could work but im a touch unsure on them looking maybe a bit too futury. It could very much be something that will look a bit better when painted or with some fancy hat heads. Or even just a different style of pavise.
