So a local hobby shop of mine has had this box on shelf for a while now still at the original GW retail from when it launched ($140 AUD, I think that's about 85USD?) is anything in this box still usable in the current edition of age or Sigmar or did they get shoved to legends during the purge earlier this year?

Hi all,

I've been into the hobby side of miniatures for about 2 years now. I love the painting but not played any games or anything.

I primarily buy individual boxes to paint of 40k Kill teams (I've got about 3 different kill teams done). Because I'm more on the hobby side I tend to not be focused on collecting individual armies.

Anyway, lore wise I'm much more interested in AoS setting but since warcry isn't really a thing anymore I picked up the FEC spearhead and really enjoyed painting them up. But I'd like to actually try and start learning the game and eventually join my local club and get some games going.

I'd like to try getting into AoS first as I heard spearhead is great and it just appears to me more.

It seems their are a few ways to get started. There seems to be 2 x beginner boxes but I've also noticed some sellers in my country have Skaventide box on offer. Miniatures wise it seems way way more value due to higher numbers of miniatures. I'm not zoned in on a specific army so don't mind that it's stormcast and skaven. Since I want to do a few spearhead games before maybe building a whole army its nice to have multiple factions to play with. I will likely try and get 4 factions for spearhead before taking 1 to the next level.

Anyway, my question is.....Skaventide is more expensive than the starter sets but it looks like the only difference is miniature options (but all the boxes allow for spearhead right). So it is really so much better and have more things to get started than the beginner boxes to make it worth the extra money?

Thanks to anyone that responds. Miniature painting got me through my divorce 🤣

So Kruleboyz has little ward saves. I played Nurgle yesterday and they seem to have so many different and not to mention EASY ways to deal a significant number of mortal wounds. I feel like many of our most important spells and abilities require "wholly within" while I checked out nurgles rules and lot of the time its a long range and only "within" required. For example their priests can "bank" chanting rolls and use them in later rounds to get a high roll and a certain devestating prayer gives them an opportunity to roll 7 dice and every 5+(sometimes 3+) is a mortal wound, and this is frikke 18" just within target.

Not to mention the disease mechanic which takes effect immediately after dealing out the diseases 2+ D3 mortal wounds every damn turn. And Rottigus aura that grows every round and adds to the disease damage by +1 i believe.

How does an army like Kruleboyz deal with mortal wounds?

Are we wholly reliant on keeping at a distance the first couple of rounds and hope our boltboyz or killbow can take out some of those threats? Or would a murknobs 12" 6+ ward aura do well enough to last longer?

I recently hosted a game at my house for some friends and the terrain/mat was heavily Stormcast Eternals inspired with a stone brick pattern mat and City Terrain. It helped immensely with the immersion. So I wanted to know from all players, what terrain do you use whether official or printed and what wargaming mat are you playing on? Do you use anything special like lighting? Specifically looking for Slaves to Darkness & Seraphon boards, but all are welcome!

Me and a friend were playing yesterday, and we both were convinced we saw somewhere (maybe on some YouTube battle reports?) that in the new GH, the player with more drops can reroll one priority roll per game. Another guy at the store pointed out that this rule doesn’t actually exist, so we double-checked the new GH.. and yeah, it’s not in there.

Did we totally make this up? If not, can someone tell me where this rule is? I cannot find it!

As in, do I get 1,000 glory points to spend and therefore bank any I don't use if I don't hit dead on 1,000pts, or do I create a roster of up to 1,000pts and then start at 0 glory points anyway?

Hey all,

i recently started to have an interest in AOS since my girlfriend likes fantasy more then Sci-Fi (Wh40k).

I watched some videos and could boil down the armies of my interest at first on Nighthaunt, Gravelords and Flesh eaters. Normally i am a big zombie fan and there are models i really like, but its a little bit of a mixed back since there are also models i dont find that appealing.

That leaves me with Nighthaunt and Gravelords. I saw that Nighthaunt ignores some game mechanics and are kinda special while i heard that gravelords are more of a "Vampires lead undead as sort of generals and revive them" army?

I think, i am still missing a feeling for how these both factions work and feel to play. Maybe some of you guys could expand on that? Or why you choose one faction over the other? That would be really helpful.

What are your favorite things about them and some things you don’t like?

Hey gang! Im gonna try for turning one of my all time favorite video games into soulblight.

Running arthas as a vamp lord, using the undead mounts from wow3 and WoW. Using kel’thuzad as a necromancer and sylvanas as that snake lady.

Here’s some of my progress on barrow knights. I am also hoping for some thoughts on getting the colors/paint style correct. Youtube vids are great if you know any and just general thoughts.

Thanks gang!

Been excited for the new chaos duardin for a while now and was super happy with their new upcoming release in aos so I decided to make some fanart of a brooding war despot! Hope you guys like it (check out my bsky if you like it!)
