Yeah, it... works fine. And looks like it already has the new Stormcast codex stuff added? So, neat.

Selling some old stuff that's been sitting around in my closet (a half done Sylvaneth army and SCE army) and buying some Ironjawz since I love orks (excuse me, "Orruks").

Two start collecting boxes, two mawkrushas, and a shaman would give me:

Boss on Mawkrusha
Boss on Mawkrusha
Warchanter
Warchanter
Shaman
5x Ardboys
5x Ardboys
5x Ardboys
5x Ardboys
3x Goregruntas
3x Goregruntas

Which seems like a pretty straightforward way to get a 2000 pt army for relatively cheap. Am I running into any big pitfalls with this list?

I got a small smattering of a lot of armies but not Rivendell so Glorfindel might be a buy just to paint model. The Lothlorien duo though is an absolute purchase for my elf force. Good stream today despite what lovely nerds say.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. I have some Galadhrim for my Helm's Deep force but... Do I really need a Lothlorien army?

Anyway, back on Thread topic, I think I might finally finish up my Kruleboyz army. I have the Dominion box, I have Kragnos, I have Swampboss Skumdrekk, what else should I add?

So the warscroll for the Savage Big Stabbas says "unit size: 2", but each base has two Orruks on it. So does that mean that each unit is two bases or two Orruks (i.e one base)?

A guy on Facebook sold me 3600 points of Nighthaunt for $200 shipped because his dog chewed up a handful of the models (even though they seem fixable). :toot:

Does anyone have the instruction book for the Nighthaunt Black Coach they can take pictures of? R/Warhammer instructions doesn't have it.

I found nagash and kurdoss online. My box of demolished models came in...


But there's a ton of not demolished models!


Not bad at all for the price I paid, even if I can't get the big pieces back together.

Is there a way other than eBay to get singles of big-unit models? This used Nighthaunt army I bought has 1-2 models missing from most of the units, so it's not worth buying a whole box to fill it out, because then I'm still in the same predicament.

Not really, your army isn't really 'missing' models, GW changed the unit sizes between building the sprues and sending the rules to the print shop so everyone had that issue.

The glaivestalkers at least have a cheap 5 model box.

It is missing models when the guy who sold it to me told me his dog ate a few models :)

Yeah word on the street is that play testers of the new Gitz book are scrambling to buy up used Gloomspite stuff while it's cheap because the book is so good.

If I weren't already doing Nighthaunt and Skaven as my 2023 new year new armies, I'd pick up Gitz too

Good thing FEC are getting a limited run model, their range is bloated enough, they don't need a new permanent model.

Yeah, I have a friend following their roll out closely and I've already offered to buy the materials to print out all their rats. Even if they tend to be a bit high fantasy than the grungy Skaven, I think their sculpts are fantastic. I may not use them all in my army as some of them look a bit too Redwall to integrate, I still want them as a fun painting project. I'm glad to hear they have both genders as I do think its the way to go. I've done a bunch of head swaps with my Guard to have more female characters and I got a bunch of heads for my 30k Dark Angels to do in time (because gently caress the gender divide).

But yeah, One Page has been shown off some incredible stuff. The Warlord on the Fox mount was awesome.

Yeah the OPR rats are baller as hell, I'm working on their "Deathmaster" model right now

There's no WFB or Old World thread, so this might be the best place to ask. For square bases, how do you deal with tetrising minis together so that you can actually get a block of rank and flank guys? I have 20 dwarfs I'm trying to rank up but they're all pushing into each other.

How viable is a dino army full of gators these days? I'm not as interested in playing Starborne but I love the idea of a table full of Big Bashy Gator Bois. Something like:

- Saurus Old One on Carnosaur
- Saurus Old One
- Skink Starseer
- 6x Aggradons
- 6x Aggradons
- 20x Saurus Warriors with spears
- 10x Skinks with daggers and bucklers
- Bastiladon with Solar Engine

Just a big whollop punch

I've got a work bonus coming soon and I'm looking to finally get into Soulbright Gravelords. Is the Battleforce box from a couple years ago the best place to start? Or the Vanguard box? Both? That'd leave me with like 40 Zombies but maybe that's a good thing?

It's hard for me to settle on a list I want to buy/build toward since all the character models are so good :(
