I don't know if that Skaven monstrosity is the ugliest model I've seen, or the coolest. It's genuinely disturbing, that's for sure.

It is beautiful in its ugliness

It really does feel like an extra step of horrific; not sure if it's the fleshy claw section, the much more sore looking paintjob than the Hell Pit Abomination, the pained expression on the ogre head, or indeed all of the above!

it's properly disgusting in the way a skaven abomination should be. the skin growing over the embedded objects is just awful in the best way

If you were to give that a pro paint job with sore wound like skin edges and all you could have on properly scary horror creation, which yep that's exactly what it should be and is!

Kruleboyz https://www.warhammer-community.com/2024/06/13/warhammer-age-of-sigmar-faction-focus-kruleboyz/

Seems like they've actually done some work with these guys. They certainly needed it.

Nice!!
I may finally paint them up and play them!
WANT to like the sneaky gitz... they just haven't grabbed me before now...

I've been concentrating on my IronJaws

On the whole I've been liking these a lot more than 40k get-you-by cards at the start of 10th

So are Kruleboyz and Ironjawz separate factions then? I thought it was one book.

Too early to tell, but it looks like.

same codex,
different sub-factions...
IronJaws are the hard hitting Gork-thugs
KruleBoyz are the back stabbing Mork-thugs

It'll be interesting to see if/how I can use both in the same army !
(actually excited about them!)

Right now they're the same battletome, "Orruk Warclans". It's one of their keywords.

That is now gone.

Yeah as you can see with this one not only is the Warclans keyword gone and they only have Kruleboyz now, at the top it also says Kruleboyz Warscroll instead of Orruk Warclans. So at least for the index they are very likely split

Would be interesting if they did. I always though it was odd they were lumped together initially.

They're split. We've known this since they showed off the IJ wizard in the "how magic works" article.

Probs not the place for it, but I got an e-mail that Avatars of War will no longer be in the market for physical miniatures and putting all of their current physical stock on sale.

Think there is a lot of overlap for some of the mini's that have uses for various AoS factions. Might be the time if you want some alternatives to GW mini's.

(All of the above is news to me, as I just received the e-mail. Apologies if its already been discussed here or a different thread and I missed it)

big fan of these kruleboy rulez. i have about 1500 points from the couple of dominion boxes i picked up, so maybe i can fill out the rest and finish the army

Soulblight https://www.warhammer-community.com/2024/06/14/warhammer-age-of-sigmar-faction-focus-soulblight-gravelords/

they really like deep strike this edition, huh? love the flavor here, tho

I like the reworked riders of ruin. Fair bit cleaner and easier to use.

Mostly it's existing mechanics for Soulblight, although they changed it from "within 12 of four arbitrary points" to "within 6 of any terrain," which I greatly prefer. The only really new thing is the teleporting Vargheists, which is going to be fantastic.

Done right it might also help get around shooty factions being too powerful and also allow for less of a "draw lines march forward" style that people complain about

You know you want that plush https://www.warhammer-community.com/2024/06/16/sunday-preview-ready-yourself-for-the-next-warhammer-40000-balance-dataslate/

I'm tempted, ain't gonna lie.

I think I'll name mine Gary.

I'm very tempted to get one to go with the older Archibald plush.

I think if you've got the first then you're basically duty bound to not have a lonely Archibald

Asterism's are interesting. Pick a guaranteed ability to build around, but also plan using an unlock-able sub ability.

Also the Slann's "Nope" for dispelling at any range is amusing.
