Disaster Relief for Gamers in California
Thanquol&Louise posted a topic in Age of Sigmar Discussions
I had the upmost respect for our AOS lore champion Doug on the 2+ Tough channel after his recent message about helping out those who lost everything in the California fires, including all of their gaming materials. Please, we want to make these peoples' day. Below is a link to the site that is spearheading a project to reunite models with our fellow gamers. Whether its donating directly models you own, purchasing desired models from a wishlist, or donating money directly to other charitable organizations, please check out the link below. http://theindependentcharacters.com/blog/?page_id=4122 I may not seem much, but we game for a great many a reason and these folks might just find some reprieve from their feeling of complete loss of their homes and sources of joy. Enabling these folks to game again, to escape, find fun and joy, is the least we can do. In addition check out Doug's original message for the full rundown. -

So as anyone who knows me will know I often hop between projects a lot ans I'm awful and getting painting finished. But I'm trying to change that. My golden horde topic over on painting and modelling shows some of my more recent conversions which I need to get painted up, along with my daughters of khaine melusai. Though recently I've mostly been working on my dark eldar for 40k and pretty happy with my archon. I think my skills are really improving!!

I know it’s stupid and probably easily disproved but wouldn’t it be cool if the mortal realms were just a feral world in the grim darkness of the future (feral worlds are world that the imperium just forgets about and leaves it’s populas behind as they have de, evolved. We get explain races easily squats= dwarfs eldar= elves humans = the empire space marines= storm cast who are confused between the emperor and sigmar most of chaos is easily explained but skaven, beast men and other beasts would still be native Now because this is easily disproved let’s look at what else could be evidence

I haven't moved on from the Skaven Kharadron experiments, but I've become distracted by 40k Orks. Here's the progress so far on my first one. If it'S not obvious, he's sad because his teddy lost its ear. Oh, the ravages of war!

I've played Warhammer 40k for about 10 years, but I ended up falling out of the hobby after the release of 7th edition- the meta had become so toxic and competitive (at least in my area) that I stopped enjoying gameplay. A couple years later I found this community, and I was inspired to start an Age of Sigmar army. The community here is so laid-back and hobby-oriented, it feels like a breath of fresh air compared to 40k. Anyway, I invested in a Freeguild army about two months ago, and I'm about 10% of the way through painting it. I guess I just had bad timing though- shortly after I got into Age of Sigmar, Games Workshop announced 8th Edition for Warhammer 40k, and the 40k community is already feeling very different! I feel like I really want to get back to 40k (my old true calling I guess), but it feels like a waste having started a Freeguild army. So I feel a little split between the two, and my hobby is losing momentum because of it. Is anyone else feeling the same way?

We've all been bombarded with the 40k hype for weeks. With all the similarities to AoS, it seems like they are trying to get everyone on board with this the new edition of 40k. I find myself looking at the awesome new releases, and its hard not to get drawn in. Many of us, for one reason or another, choose to focus only on AoS. A lot of the reasons against this are seemingly going away; there is no reason to debate rules for hours, and (hopefully) you can be more competitive with fun lists rather than having to copy netlists and stack the most powerful models only, having to ignore 90% of the model range. But already I can see, its not without its problems. Instead of giving you a free set of core rules, you have to buy the $60 tome. Instead of having the model rules free online or in an app, you have to buy them in $25 books. Most likely the just know that they have a big enough fan base and they can get money out of it, so why throw away some profits? Because they have already set the precedent, that's why. Going from a $0 price of entry to a $85 between game systems makes me feel like this "new" games workshop is relapsing back to their old ways. The big new thing they did was to put the rulebook in the box set. Giving us a "free" rule book - how awesome, right? Well, most people don't care about buying the books - because its 2017. You can borrow a friends book to learn the rules. Or you can take it a step further and take ultra HQ pics on your smartphone, then organize them into a PDF. Or, of course, you can simply get them from someone else who did that. Even so, you can buy a discount version for your phone/tablet which is just as convenient for most people today. So when you add all that up, you get poor book sales. Now, if you want to split the box online to sell to people who obviously only want one side of the box, you are stuck with this $60 value book you cant sell, and therefore you are likely to lose money. Seems GW is looking for ways to kill the eBay market. Now you have books essentially worth nothing and so the $50 value half-box goes up to $80 value half boxes. Its still an awesome deal but its really sticking a fork in the super discount entry to the game. At AoS launch I bought all the stormcast for $50. This is why almost every AoS player has some stormcast or Bloodbound, and it really drives the hobby. Same thing with Skaven, I got my 120 slaves for under $60 thanks to IoB. Now I have like 8k points of skaven and a very large stormcast collection with most of everything they released. Its a great entry point, not sure why they want to mess with this. Next, most people are going to have to solve complex math equations in order to put their lists together. At first glance it seems simple, of course you have to add on the cost of that extra plasma gun upgrade you give to one of your models. But do you really have to add up the cost of a blight drone by adding its base cost with the cost of its mandatory and unique 2x Plagesplitters and Plague Probe? Yes .... you do. Making lists is a lengthy endeavor, so be prepared to take out your note book and calculator and clear your Saturday schedule. They will likely come out with tools to solve this problem, but it really was a problem that they could have easily just not created when designing this new edition. Next we have point balance. I haven't gone looking around a lot, so its scary what I'm finding at first glance. For example, a Lord of Contagion is (don't forget to pay for his mandatory unique Plaguereaper!) 184 points. Typhus, who has the same exact profile - including all of the same keywords and special abilities -164 points. 20 points cheaper with the same profile. Plus 2D6 super pistol shots. +1S on his weapon. Plus he boosts poxwalkers. plus hes a level 2 psyker.... So either there is a typo in the book, or there is basically no reason ever to take a Lord of Contagion over Typhus. Considering that the Lord of Contagion model is the main thing drawing me into 40k, this is really killing my mojo. Meanwhile Typhus is out of stock... There is some silver lining here. The game seems pretty fun and the shooting rules are strict enough that it is unlikely some Skkyfire or Kurnoth Hunter equivalent is going to start vomiting all over the meta. Though it seems pretty inevitable that something will, but maybe there will be a good amount of time until somone finds it, or maybe GW will actually make FAQs and errata to get rid of nonsese (something we are still waiting on for AoS) A lot of people, including myself honestly, like the additional complexity. 8 pages of rules seems more appropriate than 4 pages of rules when we are talking about an all-consuming hobby like warhammer. So should I get the models? For sure, they are gorgeous models and you can get them for dirt cheap (until online vendors realize they are sitting on a stack of books that nobody is going to buy). But am I going to get into 40k? That is a hard sell right now. I'm not likely going to go buying boxes beyond the cheap starter models. Personally I would rather hold out for AoS hype in the form of GH2, new skeletons, new elves, or whatever comes next. When I think about all this hype I've gotten drawn into, it makes me think about all the time and focus I could have put into working on cool AoS models. So how does the community feel? Are most people ready to dive in without looking back, or are there a lot of you feeling hesitation, or even overall disinterest? Are most AoS exclusives going to merge into dual-system hybrids? Is becoming an AoS player exclusively going to be a thing of the past, or is this just a fad hype that will die down in the coming months? Will the GH2 make the AoS fans forget about 40k, or is AoS going to take a big hit as large numbers of our ranks take up bolters and sink our wallets into pricey new Sci-Fi armies?

Believe it or not....Progress!!!
Accidental Cultist posted a blog entry in An Accidental Cultists Hitchhike through the Mortal Realms
So after a slight delay due to life, we'r back, a Khorgaroth has been almost completed, a squad of Knights are being finalized and a Blood Warrior is making progress. As well as a health amount of undead robots. The Khorgaroth has been lots of fun, so many different effects and textures, I've grown massively as a painter from working on him (i see this in my later works). I've used my mobile for these shots, so they're not great. as always and C and Cs would be greatly appreciated -

So, my fellow GA: DEATH Players... Does the new 40K character rules sound like a wet dream for you too? ...."To counter the fact that these Characters cannot join units and “hide” from enemy fire, there is a rule in the Shooting phase that means you can’t target a Character unless they are the closest enemy model. This represents the difficulty in picking out individuals amidst the maelstrom of battle and applies to all Characters with a Wounds characteristic of 10 or less, including things that previously might not have benefited from any protection. For example, Roboute Guilliman, who has 9 Wounds, can now realistically advance in the centre of a disciplined Space Marines army, directing his troops while remaining relatively safe from incoming weapons fire. Really big heroes, like Magnus the Red, will still need to brave enemy fire, but with, in his case, over a dozen Wounds and a respectable invulnerable save, he holds his own just fine." Would be nice as a faction ability or something, huh? Like; Unnatural Mist; Your heroes are enveloped in an unnatural mist, making them harder to hit in shooting. ... Or something like that...
