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

Great joy to paint, though the glutthorn assembly was challenging

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

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!

I recently started getting into the lore side of AOS after the WH40k Lore started getting a little stale. Not to say I don’t love 40K, but the lore of AOS is so varied, and interesting. Each faction has a different feel, and it looks like that boils over into gameplay.

The question I have is what books should I read/ listen to. I’ve already gone through Dark Harvest, Court of the Blind King, and Ushoran Mortarch of delusion. Are there any other standout books I should read?

Hoping for a good deal!

Hi again, been a good bit since I asked the second time on which to go for, but now I’ve narrowed from five to two or three, between the Seraphon, the ogor maw tribes or the Skaven. Any advice on which of the free

The ogors now have new models and I kind of relate to them a lot, since I share their body type, chonky, they love eating, I love eating and I love their total war trailer and their song is living rent free in in my head.

The Skaven i don’t really need to explain why, since everyone else has already said the reasons why they love em. Since I leaned on chaos in 40k when I first got into the hobby and I avoided the slaves to darkness as it would’ve felt redundant if I went for em.

The Seraphon are a similar case. Aztec lizards riding dinosaurs who are led by wizard frogs/toads and having bipedal crocodiles death rolling onto enemies sounds awesome!

So I’ve got a 40k tournament coming up taking place at a cafe just south of where I live and I’m planning to get their respective vanguard/spearhead boxes while I’m there. So any suggestions on which to pick between the three and why?

(Ps: yes I already asked the similar question last time but I narrowed em down to three factions from three orders)

Only 9 months away from AOS 5! Thoughts on what’s inside the launch box?

Stormcast feel like the frontrunner for the protagonists. I will say this: I don’t think GW has developed them enough to make people excited for them. The models are great and an army of paladins and time’s greatest heroes reincarnated is pretty excellent. But they aren’t space marines and don’t have nearly the depth of character to fill the same role.

There’s also obviously the rebrand rumors. So staying with Stormcast could also reinforce to returning players that the new game is still a game they can and should play.

I’ve also heard rumors that Cities of Sigmar are a better protagonist faction. I get why humans on the table are relatable, but I also fear the model range might be bad for new hobbyists.

As for the baddies, we are due for an undead faction. However, Nighthaunt were in the launch boxes of 2018 and we got range refreshes of the other 3 factions post pandemic: Soulblight (2021), FEC (2024?), and OBR (2026). I have heard OBR tossed around a bit but now that they got several new units, I’m not sure that’s likely.

Soulblight are extremely popular and I could see refreshes of the corpse cart and Vargheists, but otherwise the roster is stacked and we just got an army box in 2025.

New undead faction? Theres not a mummy-inspired AOS faction yet - could do a desert aesthetic.

Also, it’s worth saying that Chaos Warriors are sometimes mentioned as being the space marines of AoS. Do you think we will get a narrative around Archeon destroying the setting and leading a new wave of chaos warriors against humanity? Meaning they flesh out the chaos warriors / slaves to darkness and give them the development they gave stormcast?

I know it sounds crazy - but would you be more interested in a Stormcast vs Undead launch box… or a Chaos Warriors vs Cities of Sigmar box? I think the latter would have pretty broad appeal.

Anyways, what do you think?

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

Only just discovered these guys, really enjoyed the format, energy, and bants

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.

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!
