What do you guys mean by Tzeentch pricing scheme? If these duardin are reasonably priced I will almost certainly be buying an armada

I meant that the new Tzeentch prices seemed pretty good- the tzaangors on discs for £22.50 when I expected them to be £30, 20 Kairic Acolytes for £30 .- compared to 10 fyreslayers for £35, 10 Tzaangors for £25.
So I'm hoping the infantry kits are around that £22.50- £25 range rather than the £30-£35. I've no idea what the ships might be though..

@HMBC, I hope you noticed that the articles in their code are spelled 'artycle'!

Whilst I remain forever perplexed that this HMBC impostor continues to steal my limelight, having looked at some other leaked pages I do see that, yes, we have yet another misspelt word using 'y'. Pretty tipical... I mean typical.

I have a sneaking suspicion that GW have hired a Welshman to name AoS products.

If it was one of us it would be far more impossible for you to pronounce

That was my first thought as well. A game that combines deck building with models in a similar way to X-wing?

Not fething likely, as I've yet to see something like "Llanfairpwllgwyngyll"

Okay, half-welshman.

Not sure how many caught this, but it seems like painting them to be different clans or such will actually award you different benefits by special rules.

Near the end it describes painting guys a certain way will make your skyvessels "swifter and harder to take down".

I think its a subtle GW/Ork joke... "Red makes you go faster...." etc...

Yeah, considering how long it's been since Orks literally had to have red paint to benefit I don't see GW bringing a rule like that back.

I mean it literally states the coloration (likely just meaning clan) will affect what special rules and abilities your models will benefit from on the table top. It even references a page number.

yeah. That's worrying (and idiotic) to say the least.


Edit: im fact, it says : ''may WELL determine the special rules''. So I guess it only means the the different sub-faction (which all have a specific paintjob) have some special rules associated to them, but you Don't need to match the color to get the benefit of the rule.

There was never anything stopping people in 40k from painting a bunch of space marines red and saying they're a sub-faction of Salamanders just to use the rules of something they preferred.

As long as you tell your opponent which clan they're supposed to be it should be fine to paint them however. I am actually in favor of the varying special rules just because it gives more options. Some armies are dreadfully boring and get run the same exact way because they don't have the choice to be different.

Sure there was - that would be WYSIWYG. If the army looks like Blud Angles, then it must play like Blud Angels. Otherwise, it's a non-WYSIWYG proxy army, and would not be tournament legal.

Not if they don't have blood angels iconography! Claim you're color blind if they really wanna be TFG

I'm kinda interested in the schemes. But I already have a theme in mind....

Considering I bought a giant Imperial fleet from ebay a month after my first game, that might be baaaad for me That was at a great price, though, I swear!

I'd really like a REAL skirmish game for my collection of random models, sculpts and kit bashes. I don't want AoS "everything goes" mixed armies with min unit sizes, but the chance to just use ten guys or so. Like Mordheim...but with riders, flyers, demons and beasts worse than ogres.

Yes, but I believe that given the context the intent is merely to reference the faction paint schemes rather than require them (like the analogous pages for Stormcast or Tzeentch). This is assuming that the only mention of such is the bit reference above; if certain schemes are required it will no doubt be mentioned elsewhere as well.

Given GW's expertise with model kits and their general engineering feats, I'm confident the flight stands will be just fine.

Unless they have Changed them dramatically... you'll need something else.

Ever seen an angled flight stand?

These are new flight stands.

Spoiler:

Pics from GAMA don't seem to have the angled flight stands

I find your insight and well laid out arguments intriguing.

Do you have a newsletter to which I might subscribe?

What's stupid about a deep-sea diver dwarf dangling from an iron balloon?

I'd bet the bendy flight stands are still being produced and that particular model didn't get one.

I like these models a lot. Some parts are too over the top for me. Like the top hat king. Overall though, I like it a lot. Maybe too many guns and not enough melee weapons.

What's stupid about a steampunk dwarf with an exoskeleton, top hat, and mustache guns hanging from a balloon, with a chainsaw sword?

That model is simultaneously the best and worst thing I've ever seen, and I love it.

I think he'd look really good on foot. Right now he looks like he's just hanging there with no real control, and firing the cannon is likely to send him sailing backwards.

But as a big armoured suit guy running (shuffling?) around on foot, that could work well.

You're not.

I loved the old GW Dwarves - but these ... oy. Am glad the old dwarves blew up with the old world to not have to see such things.

The old dwarfs are in AoS.

They have mountain holds, live in the cities and are apart of the Azyrheim ruling council known as the Grand Conclave.

No word on a grudge book, though.

Speaking of which, it'll be interesting to see what Grungni has been up to since he left Sigmar and if it'll herald the Dispossessed getting a upgrade when he returns.

I agree.

I find him to be the most cringe-worthy part of the release but I also think he's redeemable with a head swap, and possibly under-slinging the cannon under is arm somehow. Something like this:

Good Photoshop work but he's my favorite model as-is.

That metal top-hat with a king rune is several kinds of high-class bad@$$ness.

Kind of remind me of the dwarves in skyrim

Dwemer were Elves weren't they?

Surprisingly yes. You'd never know it from reading it from their Skyrim books. (Though looking back that'd explain why they'd rig a tree with a trap...)
