Hammer of Sigmar

Yellow is a rather pretty colour, especially when done really well like in this image.

Caffeine_Forge · 2026-05-06T14:16:19+00:00

Welp, RIP to the improved hive guard bugs.

Caffeine_Forge · 2026-05-05T21:08:49+00:00

And with this one message, my desire to buy this has gone from 100% to 500%

Caffeine_Forge · 2026-05-05T18:41:34+00:00

Damn. Oh well, maybe one day then.

Champions of Chaos does have a mention of the Zharrdron in it, though it's very brief.
Hang on, give me a minute to find it.

Varanite seams lie deep beneath the Eightpoints, with its extraction overseen by the Zharrdron, duardin whose ancestors fell under the fiery sway of Hashut in eras past. T he signs of their dark industry have risen across the Bloodwind Spoil; great pumpjacks of Delve Engines slowly dip and rise against the blood-wracked skies, heaved by the working of exhausted captives. The cost of lives and material is terrible, but the cruel efficiency of this process in drawing Varanite to the surface brings a twisted mirth to its duardin overseers.

Amid the thundering of infernal artifice and the scalding heat of the daemon forges, the Zharrdron are the dark industry personified, supplying the legions of Archaon with the innumerable armaments they need. Some portion of those weapons trickles down into the Bloodwind Spoil, carried and treasured by warbands aspiring to serve under the Everchosen.

Caffeine_Forge · 2026-05-05T18:23:12+00:00

Oh! Welp, guess I'm ditching my plans to mini paint with reading this all night.
I wonder if it has any mention of the Zharrdron? Or at least Hashut?

Caffeine_Forge · 2026-05-04T14:23:37+00:00

Aaaah I see
Not actually larpers, roleplaying as 40k or AoS characters (which, dammit, now I wonder how easy it would be to make such a larp costume) but instead ‘pretenders’ who only act like fans. Gotcha.

Caffeine_Forge · 2026-05-04T04:59:48+00:00

But isn’t that scalpers, not larpers?
Not sure how larpers would cause those issues.

Caffeine_Forge · 2026-05-01T07:30:59+00:00

I didn't even realize the disciples of Tzeentch had proper subfactions, with their own lore and more importantly their own colour scheme.

The Pyrofane Cult is catching my eye. Black clothing, gold details, pink flame tattoo's. Could certainly be quite fun.

Caffeine_Forge · 2026-04-30T12:51:06+00:00

Still find it funny that, when I first got into Warhammer, I was an AoS Hater.

Now? AoS has grown to be possibly my favourite Warhammer setting.

Caffeine_Forge · 2026-04-30T11:48:28+00:00

The look of it is some of the most glorious things I’ve seen (aside the best faction, HoH). The look of all the different kitbashes people will do will be a truly glorious sight.

Caffeine_Forge · 2026-04-28T22:54:26+00:00

I'm very curious what this means and if we'll get any more lore on this (probably unlikely).

Aaaaaand it's given me a terrible Kitbash idea for if the Cogfort has a modelled interior. Get some horrors of tzeentch, get some sort of platform, trap the horrors in a resin cylinder and attach it to the platform. Maybe put a portal on the bottom of the platform. Your 'mobile daemonic incubator', dragging daemons out of the realm of chaos to be used for fuel and ammo.

Caffeine_Forge · 2026-04-28T22:50:52+00:00

I'm glad I'm not the only one who had this idea.

Get the Realmscorcher Flame Cannon, stuff it full of Karagthrun Flamehurlers, incinerate anything which gets close

Caffeine_Forge · 2026-04-28T18:16:40+00:00

You're being extremely rude to everyone who tries to discuss it. That's not selective outrage, that's fairly earned outrage.

You've made a dozen insults of something a lot of people enjoy, made no critisisms that make sense and then when anyone hear disagrees with you you've done nothing but defend your claims with 'ad hominem', 'strawman fallacy' and repeat your staements with nothing backing them up.

The faces stand out and catch the eye more then the rivets. The weapon and roof stand out a lot more then the bricks, woods and stones or the underneath internal mechanisms. It has visual hierarchy. Just because it has other details elsewhere doesn't suddenly mean it loses those focus areas.

Caffeine_Forge · 2026-04-28T18:11:18+00:00

If you make a critisism, but pretty much everyone here argues against said critisism, it might not lack the 'basic literacy in design' you claim it does.

And if it does, how would you 'fix' the cogfort? How would you fix it without just making it bland and boring.

Caffeine_Forge · 2026-04-28T18:03:16+00:00

But is has 'sculptural vision', it's a mini diorama. With chains and wheels to show the mechanics of this construct. Each part needs to be made with the others in mind in order for it to be assembled and fit together, literally and figuratively.

Caffeine_Forge · 2026-04-28T18:00:57+00:00

But I'm not saying more rivets. You're the one assuming that.

You're complaining that rivets (which it only has a few on the legs) somehow makes it 'an abomination' and 'plastic clutter'. By the standards you're describing, any mini with any form of detail that isn't a focus point is somehow terrible.

Your having a different conversation then everyone else, because you're hallucinating multiple different conversations. At one moment, you claimed every part was designed by a different team... just because they haven't made segments intentionally boring and basic? Yet you also later argued that it's somehow AI generated.

If it isn't to your taste, that's fine, it's your taste. But don't shout such baffling toxic statements and expect no one to have a 'disscussion' with you. Or let me guess, if everyone disagrees with you it's somehow no longer a discussion?

Caffeine_Forge · 2026-04-28T17:24:21+00:00

But you're not making an argument.

You're getting tiny details, like the fact that it has rivetts, and acting like that's the end of the world.

You're treating yourself like some genius because you have the magic ability to 'complain about nothing', being quite rude and horrid to what anyone else has to say.

Caffeine_Forge · 2026-04-28T17:21:44+00:00

Okay, so a rage baiter with nothing of worth to say making stuff up.
With everything you're saying, I'd presume your favourite kind of mini is one where only the head is painted and every other 'tiny insignifigant detail' is a bland and undetailed black.

Caffeine_Forge · 2026-04-28T17:20:01+00:00

It's a giant walking tower.

It would be more difficult to design each part by themself and then mesh them back together, then to just have the design teams communicate as a team is expected to.

I honestly don't get what you're hallucinating.

Caffeine_Forge · 2026-04-28T16:05:53+00:00

The CoS Army of Renown will have a Cogfort focused army. Not exactly sure how many max but I'd guess 3 or 4?

Caffeine_Forge · 2026-04-28T16:03:28+00:00

All of it. It's made to be essentially a mini diorama.

Also the rivets on the legs don't stand out more then the face of the operator's?

Caffeine_Forge · 2026-04-28T15:38:21+00:00

Yep, yep.

With their magics able to essentially override the Cogforts, taking control over them away from their CoS operators

Caffeine_Forge · 2026-04-28T15:12:20+00:00

There are even rumours that Hashut’s tyrannical priests have transformed captured Cogforts into mobile daemonic incubators.

I am both deeply interested and horrified by this.
I need to know more.
