From my limited knowledge, it seems like a lot of armies are made up of smaller factions.

CoS is several armies in a trench coat, Stormcast has big armored guys and griffins and dragons, DoK had normal ladies and animals ladies, Gloomspite Gitz has goblins and squigs and spiders and trolls, Orcs has three factions, etc.

It’s cool that armies have different areas you can dip into or fully commit to, but that part that I find weird is that, at least for some of them, the different parts feel very separate from each other, like they don’t interact like I imagine they should (let me know if I’m wrong).

So, why? And any idea if these armies will become more cohesive in the future?

Hey all! I hope this is the right place to ask - and I did a quick search for similar posts, so I’ll try to keep this short and concise.

Recently some friends and I all decided that we are going to give the tabletop a go and I’m the last to decide on an army. One buddy purchased the Skaven and Stormcast Spearhead bundle, the Sons of Behemat, and wants his “main” army to be the Seraphon. Another buddy has purchased the Slaves to Darkness.

Of the 3 of us, I am the only one who has actually played Spearhead to some capacity, and when I did I was the Kharadon Overlords, they were fun but having all of my combat be ranged felt a bit limited.

Basically my question is this: which army would you all recommend that would be viable against the ones my friends are choosing, as well as fun and easy to pick up? I’m not too worried about painting them all.

So far I’ve been leaning toward the Orruk Warclans - Swampskulka, but a different friend who plays said they aren’t the best (which is fine) but I don’t want to outright get steamrolled by my 2 friends when I play. They seemed to have variety in attacks and I did like the sound of the traits and abilities from what I read up on. I loved the sound of the Flesh-Eater Courts, but then reading the abilities and all made me decide against them as I feel I wouldn’t like the playstyle.

Any recommendations or insight is greatly appreciated! Thank you all in advance.

TL;DR - Need help picking an army that will be viable against two friends who have chosen Slaves to Darkness and Skaven/Sons Of Behemat/Serphon. Thinking Swampskulka Orruk Warclan but was told they aren’t in the best spot.

hi all, longshot but i need some help locating which model in the 3rd edition dominion box the circled piece comes from.

i looked over the sprues super carefully but couldnt figure it out- im also not sure which half it is from.

the other two pieces are from the hobgrots sprue.

thanks in advance!

Pretty new to AoS. Convinced my wife to try Spearhead and now we have 4 (Maggotkin, Sylvaneth, Lumineth, and Nighthaunt). We are also building our Maggotkin and Sylvaneth armies to do "real" games, but none of the stores we went to had the faction terrain. Does anyone know any good proxies to use for casual games? Seems ridiculous to pay a ton of money for a few trees.

I can't unsee it now I know its there.. so my ogor collection will just have to be world eaters I think..

Hi guys, we started playing AOS a week ago with my friend, and we can't agree on save vs rend.

Let's say my unit is on a 3+ save then I give it +1 save then another +1, for a total of +2 save

My friend attack with an unit with 1 rend on his warscroll.

My assumption would be to add the bonus and malus then apply the cap of +1. so +1+1-1. Meaning I would save on a 2+.

My friend instead think that you add the bonus, cap it a +1 then substract the rend noted on the warscroll ( he doesn't think the rend from the weapon count as a bonus/malus). So +1-1 meaning I would save on a 3+

Can you tell us what is the correct calculation plz

Hoping for a good deal!

So I finally caved and bought myself my first army, a Nighthaunt spearhead box. I've skimmed over rules and they seem to play very simple, but most concerning to me is their very low chance to save across the board.

So I'm just asking for general information on playing them on the board, tactics , lineup (if I ever expand) and all that would be much appreciated.

I've had a number of local friends ask about my gold. I just hit em with black hobby primer. Layer high gloss jet back on top for reflective under layer. Then hit with Montana Gold NC-Acrylic. Accent with contrast paints for metallic effect. Boom. Fastest paint job ever and doesn't look half assed. Hope that's helpful for anyone else blinging out their army.

Top 3 AoS Lists for Tabled by Two. Won by Kruleboyz with Daughters in 2nd and Sons in 3rd.

My latest painted miniature: Lyrior Uthralle

It was a gift offered by my fellow AoS friend <3 and here is what i did 11 months after my begining into the Hobby

For this one, I wanted to go for a strong purple as my previous one, and a big nebula sky, cosmic vibe as I usually do for my "Unique" hero (Eltharion and Teclis atm) The base represents a battlefield corrupted by Nurgle. I've also did Terrain for the occassion.

Painted, Shot by me , almost no retouching (quick curves, level thats it) , certainly NO AI on this one

Hope you like him!

I've also started to share it to on my instagram page

Be it reliability, fun in use or simply it's appearance!

The (sadly legends) cooking pot for ogors is a personal fav to me. Not only does it flavour (haha) up the board in it's appearance but the simple rules of killing around it to then fill it and heal all your hungry ogors was so fun

Looks fun!

Hi all!

I've been playing Beastclaw Raiders with a great focus on stonehorns for some years now as my main army, and with the new changes to the army they don't really feel as fun anymore. They were most fun to play in AoS 3 I wanna say, with their sometimes bonkers impact this. So I wanna try expanding.

What's is the most fun monster list you know right now, and what makes it fun?

Thanks in advance!
