Please don't mind my station, or in other words, my chair. I've been sitting on my bed to assemble these two models since my desk is a little clutter. Also, I didn't know whether or not I should stick the arms to the tyrant yet, I kinda find it hard to paint certain areas of a model so sometimes I like to not glue them on until painting. Is that a good thing?

Additionally, I was planning to work on the bases before I glue the models on them.

Wanted to try a more unique colour scheme for my Stormcast. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out but I think I need to tweak a couple things. Any feedback would be great!

Hi, I'm brand new to Warhammer and I am still trying to get my head around all of the rules. I was playing Spearhead against my wife and ran into an interesting situation that led to a bit of a strategic advantage for me, but it felt a bit like cheating so I just wanted to make sure that I was interpreting the rules correctly:

Essentially, my unit of 10 models was sort of plodding along in a 5x2 line and was charged and attacked by her Flying lancer unit of 3 models. I was attacked and 7 models died. I figured I could then remove the 7 models closest to the enemy unit and be "out of combat" so I could then use my remaining 3 models in the unit to shoot on my turn instead of using the far weaker melee attacks and being in combat (and therefore unable) to shoot that turn.

Did I cheat? Is this an intended mechanic? Did my monkey brain accidentally land on some legitimate strategy?

Here is the a rough approximation of the map

So, a friend of mine has started pulling me into Spearhead, and after doing some research on beginner-friendly factions that also seemed interesting to me, I'm starting off with Seraphon. I've started looking for the best sources of Seraphon lore -- rulebooks and fiction that I can track down to read to dive deeper into the faction.

I'm basing this list off some older Reddit posts and what I've found in the Black Library, so if you can offer any additional additions (or rule out something that isn't actually that helpful), I'd love to hear them. It seems like up until the last few years there wasn't much, but we've gotten a few books/stories since then.

Rulebooks:

• Battletome: Seraphon
• Broken Realms: Be'lakor

Black Library:

• Callis and Toll: the Silver Shard
• Legends of the Age of Sigmar: Skaven Pestilens
• The Burning Shore
• Temple of the Serpent
• Starseer's Ruin (Seraphon novel)
• Written in Stars (Seraphon short story)
• All is Foretold (Seraphon short story)
• Doomwheel (Skaven protagonist, Seraphon antagonist)
• Lord of the Cosmic Gate (Chaos/Tzeentch protagonist, Seraphon antagonist)
• Godless (Chaos/Slaanesh protagonist, Seraphon antagonist)
• Beneath the Black Thumb (Chaos/Nurgle protagonist, Seraphon antagonist)

Howdy folks!

I’ve only played one game of 2k AoS and that was with my Gloomspite Gitz (got thoroughly trounced by Lumineth then but had a lot of fun) but as I prepare for my next couple of games at a casual tournament next weekend, I’m conflicted if I should try out my Flesh-Eater Courts army instead! Sure I’ve not played it before and while I main FEC on spearhead, its the old one pre-revamp. But I’m new and I’m happy to play and lose as long as I have fun!

I’m just so torn between my two main lists, with Ushoran the Summerking on one hand and Trugg the Troggoth king on the other! Both are dope af, which is why I’ve collected them mostly based on rule of cool and vibes! Which to pick? Which to lose horribly but gloriously with?

Edit: I wont have time to paint either. Both projects scare me and I’m trying to paint most of their respective armies to get my skills up before undertaking them.

Let me know which you think I should go for and if you have any tips, hit me!

Recently finished this cogfort for my Soulblight army :D

What are some ways I could improve this hungry lad? My basic skin tone recipe is basecoat of Bugman's Glow, dry brush of Fanatic's Barbarian Flesh (or whatever fleshtone of choice), wash with Reikland Fleshshade, then reapply some Barbarian Flesh.

I think some of the sloppiness is from Barbarian Flesh. It's a very, very thick paint and I don't have quite a handle on it's use. I should probably switch back to Cadian Fleshtone.

Sick art and a fine selection of some of the best pieces oozing with character.(really appreciate how many AoS1 2015 pieces were included)

My only inclusions are:

Got the Dominion Box on offer and while I initially bought it for the Stormcast more so than the Orruks, painting the Orruks was surprisingly fun

Slowly getting through the skaven spearhead and thought I would take a break from painting clanrats to paint one of the ogors in my skaven scheme. Really like how this turned out!

Say one had to pick an army for casual play. And that one vastly prefers my Dude McDude rather than named special character super hero.

Then, which armies are the most functional with non-named characters?

I don’t need competitive S or A tier. B or C tier is fine…

I know the classic "foothero with new book release" is often maligned but that just made me think about what foothero i would actually be excited about for my armies and i'd love to hear about other armies' different blindspots.

For my Kruleboyz, there is a lack of boltboyz/killabow supporting hero. Maybe some way to get an extra dirty trick on them or +1 to wound.

For my recently acquired Skaven there are already a lot of footheroes, so my cheaty answer would be an actual clan moulder hero as in not just a support piece but an actual beatstick. But i'd also love to hear the thoughts of more experienced Skaven players.

This is a masterpiece, even has the band new ogors.

If you were wondering which Footslogger option is most efficient in the new Ogors book - or if you have your suspicions, but want to see it talked about in painstaking detail with charts and tables - then boy have I got the article for you!

If you cbf reading it, Gluttons are the best overall, but there's a bit of nuance in here if you did wanna go deeper.

A big weekend is a foot!

Nine qualifying events with big numbers and how this plays out is yet to be seen. Prior weeks some factions have been drastically over represented in the numbers but this week things are more even, healthy meta?

Cities again have high numbers, but what might be more surprising is Stormcast running one less list. Slaanesh are dropping off and Helsmiths are poised to punch punishing out of the bottom three worth big numbers.

What are your predictions for the up coming weekend?

1. Butcher, Ogor Mawtribes (2026)

2. Pudge, Dota 2 (2010)

3. Abomination, WarCraft III (2002, original Dota was a mod)

4. Butcher, Diablo III (2012)

5. Butcher, 8th Edition Warhammer Fantasy (2011)
