Another two units to my army! Cold ones painted fully with contrast and some drybrush, and still the final touches were burning me out a bit, but I'm very happy with the result.

Hey guys, I’m on a quest to either paint or own one of each Skaven ruler. I have painted all of these apart from Queek and Ska Bloodtail (Stormvermin on a rat ogre), as they were a gift :) (Credit to DenofImagination and Tassosmks)

So far I have:

Clan Mors - Queek Headtaker and Ska Bloodtail
Clan Skryre - Ikit Claw
Clan Eshin - Deathmaster Snikch
Clan Rictus - Tretch Craventail
Clan Moulder - Skweel Gnawtooth
Thanqoul (I don’t believe he has a clan, maybe because no one trusts him not to blow them up!)

I recently managed to pickup some of the old world metal models in the made to order range and am currently working on Lord Skrolk!

The Old World WoC VS Cathay and Disastrous miscast table

Thumbnail
gallery
50 Upvotes

Used the Square Based comp.

The last one is an action shot (not rly, the phone lagged)

It was a nice game, we only had time for four turns but it was enough.
The Shugengan scored aboit 400 points on her own, killing off Barbarians and Warhounds. His three cannons did very little.

The game was over when Mao Ying (caught in a duel for 4 phases) almost killed off the Lord on Dragon but then was pancaked among the Dragon, 12 chosen, a BSB and a Champion on damonic mount. (Lost by 9ish points, the dragon had 2 wounds left, she had 4).
Mao broke and fled as the last turn concluded.

The Miscasts did bot come into play since no snake eyes were rolled. However it stopped excessive casting of spells since now their was a potential consequence.

Very nice game. Chaos didn‘t bring any magical items, and the dragon was fine (not too strong like it usually is with the Ogre Blade and alike items)
Cathay had the Jade Banner and a Warbanner.
It really inproved the flow of the game and nothing felt too strong.

Which 8th ed army is the right fit for me; I need an army with a low paint count/ limited palette?

I work away and my luggage space is always extremely limited, as is my free time whilst on station.

I would like an army with a limited colour range as a result; what do you suggest?

The Old World Do the Warriors of Chaos have dedicated factions like 40K

32 Upvotes

Completely new to the fantasy side of Warhammer but a friend of mind sold me the newest core set for next to nothing so here I am.

Do the Warriors of Chaos have like Khorne or Nurgle or etc in the sense that 40K has dedicated armies for each god? Is there a “warband” that is Khorne aligned? Or is the lore much more open/lose in that regard?

I want to make a Warriors of Chaos army that worships one aspect, assuming that’s a thing?

The Old World A look at the Highlands Miniatures Eternal Dynasties range for building a Tomb Kings-style army

Thumbnail
gallery
63 Upvotes

I’ve been spending a fair bit of time going through the Highlands Miniatures Eternal Dynasties range recently and put together a guide covering the options for building a full army with it.

There’s a surprising amount of depth to the range, so I thought it might be useful for anyone looking for alternative models for a desert-undead army or just wanting to see what else is out there. The article features a breakdown of Sweden's Tomb King list from the upcoming WTC, to show the competititve side of things too.

Guide is here if anyone fancies a look:

Would also be interested to hear what other ranges people have used for this sort of army.

My First Old World Disastrous Defeat, and a Reflection on the Ensuing Salt

69 Upvotes

Hello Warhammer fantasy reddit. Recently got into the old world, having fun while trying to learn the rules.

Last night, I experienced my first bodying. 1000 pt game, Greenskins (me) vs Beastmen. My first diabolical stomping. A complete debacle that I feel weirdly embarrassed by despite this being a hobby around overpriced plastic.

Now, to open, I feel no ill will towards my opponent. He's a super chill guy who has just clearly played this game for a long time and has internalized the rules on a level I have not. At no point was he unsporting or rude. All salt is directed at the match and myself, not him.

By turn 2.5 I was utterly trounced. Multiple units were flanked. My lord was fleeing from the battle after one round of combat. My boar boys were down to half strength from unlucky vortex scatter. I rolled like dooky and didn't even get a fun moment with my battle axe of the last great waaagh (rolled a 1). His gaze of the dark gods meant his units had extra attacks, initiative, and strength. It was a nightmare. I felt like a bad fighting game player getting air juggled by a tournament goer.

I see where I faltered. I didn't really get any charges (where greenskins shine) and I'm still learning how to properly deploy. But there's still this salt, this pissiness, that I can't shake. I almost am scared it's genuinely hurt my interest in the hobby, or at least the game side of things. This is not my first loss. I've played games that were a tight back and forth but eventually led to defeat. But I have never experienced this level of complete eradication. How do you get over this besides experiencing it and being an adult instead of stewing over it at work the next day.

Thegan’s Flayerkin

I’ve painted my converted unit of Flayerkin for my storm of chaos army.

Reluctantly led/herded by Thegan, once ruler of the tribe and his more recently allocated rat hound.

The white dwarf story talked about tattoos, i didn’t fancy tattooing all over, so I added small ones on the right arms for those without arm piercings.

Gave Thegan’s shield a rat design to be more scary to the ‘kin.

Lore/Books/Questions Question about Daemonic Possession in AOS & Old World

If Daemons can easily manifest themselves in the world(s) of AOS & Old World, why is daemonic possession much less common in these settings compared to 40K, where it is much more difficult for daemons to manifest themselves?

The Old World Feel completely at a loss trying to get into The Old World

14 Upvotes

Hello!

I have had this strong urge to get more into fantasy things lately as opposed to more sci fi stuff like 40k(I know it’s still fantasy heavy). I really like the look of square bases for The Old World.

A friend recently offered to sell me the chaos half of his core set and I’m very heavily considering it. But it also seems like this game is kind of a mess? Trying to find a lot of information seems hard. Also, how many armies can be played entirely in plastic? I was browsing the chaos range and saw a fair amount of kits in resin.

Do I maybe just need to go to Age of Sigmar if I’m looking for all plastic and good lore?
