I have been thinking about returning to AoS. I left when 3rd edition dropped due to some mechanical changes, but I'm being tempted back by Gloomspite updates and Drekki Flynt. Anyway, what size are objectives nowadays? I know 40k used to use decorative 40mm or 32mm back in the day that you measured from, and my former AoS community did the same. Now that I'm peeking back in, a lot of people are using 6" plastic discs with no physical object in the center. Not very pretty. Is this the new standard? Do people still use more decorative objective markers? I was thinking of printing some objectives but this change kinda befuddled me.

I've just finished reading prince maesa quite a good book I've enjoyed it won't drop any spoilers but it's had me thinking about aos lores with the aelves. Now before idoneth lumineth etc, they had retreated into high azyr. But if I'm not mistaken this has been Retconned into just morathi, malerion, teclis and tyrion awakening couldn't find any other aelves, trapped slaanesh then dividing the eaten souls amongst eachother. My question therefore is where do the wanderers and remaining wfb aelves that are left in sigmar fit in? Is it just rule of cool, is there a reason i.e. okay slaanesh didn't quite get them all and teclis etc didn't quite look far enough? Just it seems to contradict eachother and is bugging me.

hi, i was thinking about some conversion for a harmiger helverins. the idea would be a biped without limbs much lower than the original model, having a large metal carapace and the necessary armaments / servants. I was wondering: if I were to think of a steampunk army that includes this model what would it be? and who should this model represent in a thematic army? would he be accepted in game?

Hi there, I'm quite new here and I miss the function to go to the first unread post in a thread. Clicking the thread title brings me to the first page and I can find no option to change that... It's probably a small thing, that I didn't recognize and I hope I didn't violate the rules, by opening this topic. have a nice day you all...

hi, i am going to assemble my first 1000 points of seraphon, i am fascinated by dinosaurs and i will probably play TQ in Coalisced. However, a doubt has arisen. if I wanted to create a very specific theme and a "lore" to my army of primordial beasts, the following would be accepted: my idea is to remove, while keeping each model hyper recognizable with modifications) the various palanquins / riders from my stegadonts and bastiladons, replace the old saurian riders with consistent conversions of the khorne mastiffs adequately transformed into fast and feral saurians. my idea is a very savage list of primitive dinosaurs having the peculiar decoration and heraldry of the seraphon, but stripped of all the apparatus of "artificial weapons". I ask therefore if such a thing would be frowned upon in casual games, in local tournaments and possibly in more serious tournaments (which I don't think I will ever want to participate in) I kindly ask you not to comment by criticizing the choice on an economic basis, I can assure you that the costs between conversions, green matter / milliput and alternative models (all coming from GW) is much more expensive than sticking to GW's pre-set schemes. thank you. ps: English is not my language, you will probably find errors.

So as it stands Destruction as a whole is one of the least defined Grand Alliances in the narrative. There is not yet a great deal of lore, or stories of defining characters unlike the other big three grand alliances. What relationships do the Mawtribes, in particular, have with the other factions of destruction? The greenskins seem to be the primary face, with a well defined and historical relationship with goblins/grots/ and orruks. Even gargents, to a degree, given their more nomadic and isolationist nature have a way to fit into a marching host of destruction forces. Ogres seem very separate from that hoard, how do they mingle and interact? What does a Grand Alliance of Destruction war camp look like?

Hey guys, I'm completely new to the game and want to get started soon. I want to start off with a 1000 point army for Cities of Sigmar and thought of three lists so far: The first one would be dwarfs: 1 Warden King (100) 1 Runemaster (90) 1 Cogsmith (60) 30 Ironbreakers (240) 30 Longbeards (270) 2 Helblaster Volley Guns (240) for exactly 1k. The second one has even more artillery focus: 1 Warden Kind (100) 1 Runemaster (90) 2 Cogsmiths (120) 30 Longbeards (300) 3 Helstorm Rocket Batteries (390) for exactly 1k. The third one would be mixed and more mobile: 1 Freeguild General (100) 1 Runemaster (90) 30 Handgunners (300) 20 Longbeards (200) 15 Pistoliers (300) for overall 990. Could you please give me some feedback if those armies would be any good and which one you'd expect to perform better? I intend to upgrade whichever i pick to a Greywater Battalion with 4 artillery pieces, once i assemble a 2k army. Any input would be highly appreciated.

Hey guys, i'm completely new to AOS and want to start with my first 1k army soon. I've been thinking about the folloing army list for starting off: Commander: Freeguild General (100) Heroes: 3x Battlemage (330) Units: 2x10 Freeguild Guard (160) 10 Greatswords (140) Helstorm Rocket Battery (130) Battalion: Hallowheart (140) This would bring me to exactly 1k points for a starter army. Would this be somewhat decent? I feel like it could be way to little infantry to protect the mages and the artillery. Should i drop the Helstorm for more frontline? How would you set Hallowheart up for a cheap 1k army?

Greetings, I was looking over the warscroll of the Curseling and got into a little discussion with friends about his Vessel of Chaos ability. The warscroll states: If this model successfully unbinds a spell that is possible for it to cast, it can immediately attempt to cast that spell even though it is the enemy hero phase. If that spell is successfully cast, it cannot be unbound. "possible for it to cast" What limitations are we talking about here? Can he only cast like arcane bolt & mystic shield? Or can he cast anything apart from specific faction spells which are written down as " Only Faction Wizards can attempt to cast this spell."? Thanks ahead!

Ok, this is going to be a long post.. very long (and my natal tongue is not English so it may be harder to read ) When I started painting I bought this Airbrush I bought it because I wanted to prime my minis using it, I also bought this Vallejo primer kit for airbrush My cheap airbrush got wasted after a few sessions so I bought another in my country , another cheap airbrush but he is alive now so it seems to be better A couple days ago I saw this video Painting Nighthaunt I love the results, they look 1 million times better than my dull green/white versions so I decide to get it a try, I tried to strip the paint using Isoppilich alcohol but It toke me forever so I just prime them again over the paint I found a lot of troubles to try to follow her, She makes Zenithal priming but I cant even get her results The Morghast primed picture is the results I want to get but I cant get those gradients even with the priming where I use the pre thinned airbrush paints from vallejo 1. It toke me a lot of time ti mix the proper balance of ink and medium glazing to get the paint flowing from the airbrush, I use Vallejo paints, Citadel paints and sometimes the Army painter paints. In my country there is no easy way to get good paints, I have to import every single one of them directly from Amazon, I wasted a lot of paint to get one mini painted. 2. It seems I lack the basic skills to use the airbrush because bo matter what I do I always end up with the paint being to watery that slips or the airbrush just "spot" the paint spitting uneven paint I clean the airbrush when changing colors but I always get that splash pattern you can see in my pictures above and I dont know if it is because I am bad, or my airbrush is bad or I wasn't able to thin properly the paints or other thing. The compressor does not have any indication of which PSI we are using so I assume left is less and right is more to adjust things. I watched several awesome tutorials like the Vinces Venturella Hobby Cheating series but I cant follow him, Because I am not able to do the proper zenithal priming I cant neither follow his glazes tutorials. I also love an follow Miniac but I wasnt able to found in his channel what I am looking for. All this long post is to ask if someone has a tutorial or can point to me one where I can get the basics skills of the airbrush, I do not pretend to be Sam Lenz but I would love to get my mini painting to the next level, to get better gradients, effects and colors. Thanks everyone in advance

Hello everyone and thank you in advance! When building a list on the Azyr app, if you build a list that contains 3 of the same unit from a warscroll and a battalion that needs all 3 units from that warscroll. It says that its invalid, is this an error on there end? The GHB says "Your army cannot include more than 2 units chosen from the same warscroll, unless those units are part of a warscroll battalion in your army." When I read this I feel like it means you can have more than 2 units from the same warscroll as long as you take a battalion that allows you to do so. Thanks again!

Hi dear TGA Community! I want to ask you about your opinion and personal experiences on a topic that bothers me more and more in the last time: Frustration. And how to deal with it in the best manner possible. I am feeling quite unhappy right now with my temper after some frustrating situations, but often feel also overwhelmed n how to handle this. What I am actually refering to are situations in that a pretty nice game turns into 2 hours of simply beeing crushed. I have this quite often when playing against two friends of mine who like to play board and card games in a rather competetive mindset . We have good games, but they end often in becoming salty because of some rules of the enemy that seem unfair or due to the feeling that the powerlevel of the game was ****** from the early beginning on. In the aftermath we often talk about the games and about what could have been done differently and come always to the conclusion how good (close/tense) the game was actually. Therefore I guess it is also about my frustration and how I deal with it. I would love to hear your stories. Do you have any tricks or tipps how to keep frustation away from the table? Or Anectodes which somehow match the topic?

Hey mighty TGA Community! I've stumbled upon this Desert Terrain Piece on Warhammer Community. This is the exact type of stone i wish for my desert terrain, especially the very bright, nearly orange type of spots on the stone. Sadly, the article only explains how to do the weathered bronze and i just cant find any colour recipe that immitates this type of "orange" sandstone. The picture and the article is from june 2017 and im eager to achieve the same desert stone effect. Maybe someone here has any ideas how to achieve that? Thanks in advance!
