Sorry to ask a stupid question but how do points work in AoS? Nurglings look to be min/ max unit size then 100 points. Is that per base?

I'm finally getting over the death of the old world but that makes no sense...

In age of sigmar the points listed are for the min size and there are no points per models, you can only increase a unit with the min size(you can increase it with less, but you still pay for the extra min size models).

Doubt I’ll make an army of Nighthaunt as the minis look a bit flimsy for my taste (specifically the arms) but the range looks really strong and everything is well modelled. Reminds me a lot of Bloodborne. Hats off to the team that did it.

Thank you. Makes sense now. Simplified 40k then really. The new nighthaunt are v v tempting...

The new Endless Spells are fun looking. Love the hammers and the scythe.

God damn those cover designs But I really hope they slow down a touch with the releases when the Sacrosanct chamber and Nighthaunts are done. I'm 4 armies deep right now, I need time to paint

[Edit] Ah, I failed to notice "go to first unread" put me back a page where I saw the question. Carry on everyone.

Points work by taking a unit's minimum size which costs that base amount of points(in this case 3 Nurglings for 100 points)
and adding that point base for an addition minimum number to that unit. (So 6 Nurglings for 200 points and 9 for 300. If you have say 4-5 Nurglings then you still add the base amount as if you were paying for 6 so that'd cost 200 for 5 Nurglings.)

Using the Warscroll builder should help, easier to do something than read something.

That means there will probably be Tzeentch specific endless spells, eventually.

That'll get my money.

I for one can't wait to see what they come up for slaanesh... Ibmean, the obvious routes arnt going to be suitable for a younger audience, so I'm expecting some real creativity to be on display

Likely lots of claws, tentacles and exposed breasts on things that really shouldn't even have nipples. Always good to remember that gore and the grotesque is a-okay with all audiences.

I can only hope that when they finally redo the Fiends they look more like the art and less like those crap old models.

I wonder if his/her nature will change when she's let out of his box. Something something, the elves taking their souls drained some of the sex focus out and let light and shadow fill up the available space, so the new focus is the 'perfection' angle that we see sometimes in 40k. Or something along those lines.

My big hope is the fiends aren't the monopose disappointments the beasts of nurgle turned out to be.

Possibly the angle, but the wings look disappointing.

We can go ahead and lock this one as every subsequent post will pale in comparison.

That model is amazing!

For as long as the Bloodwrack Medusa has a boob swaying in the wind the odds are GW isn't going to axe that aspect of Slaanesh.

Though you are going to have to come to terms with the fact that the sheer extent of the sexual explicitness isn't nearly as extreme as the fanbase makes it out to be.

I recall some reference to excess in other things, like gluttony. So it could be something along the assorted excess/seven deadly sins theme.

Also a short story where Slaanesh (while imprisoned) realises how dull it would be if Nagash succeeds and has a serious freak out. So I suspect Slaanesh might barge into the story with excessive excitement causing and undead stomping in mind.

While the sexual explicitness might not be "extreme", the perception of it is. It's ridiculous hearing people talking about how Slaanesh is all about orgies and crap like that.

Slaanesh is excess. It's gluttony. It's narcissism. It's loving the fine things in life more than life itself.


With that out of the way, I really hope we see something about the Knight-Zephyros soon.

It’s also about experience, and finding pleasure in every single one.

Someone cuts your hand off. That’s a first. Enjoy the experience for what it is. See if you can top it if you lose the other hand.

Even the experience of a lack of new experiences is to be enjoyed.

I anticipate that Slaanesh will get his release, causing his forces to push deep into exposed lands. Probably a full frontal assault followed by the rear guard.

Better pics, artworks and rules

All three together are really rather nasty.

Oooh I likes it, I likes it a lot

(might want to swap out the base for an alternative and use the statue elsewhere though)

Whats the number next to the portrait of Reikenor's portrait?

I'll guess the battletome page number?

Your guess is correct...
