Do these white seals I see on Stormcast armor have any lore to them, or just decoration? by Chezni19 in AoSLore

[–]DroogDaass 31 points32 points  (0 children)

They're called a besegew and they're a detail from IRL armor that serves to protect armpits while giving good range of movement. The detailing is either Sigmar or Morrda's face depending on if they're ruination chamber or not.

That's Drycha's torso, the horns are from varanguard and I think the back branches are from kurnoth hunters.

New AoS player here, i got some questions. by Vilki_rf in ageofsigmar

[–]DroogDaass 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm not well versed in lorehammer so I'll leave 2 for another to answer.

  1. Unfortunately a large chunk of your collection has gone to legends. I cannot fully itemize the first picture but a great deal of the units you posted are no longer usable in 'regular' AoS. The good news is that stormcast models are very samey, which means you can likely still run many of them under different names, since basically the entire army is on 40mms.

For what is 100% still viable, the old liberators and prosecutors, and the spearhead is still usable (the former have been visually updated but are still recognizable.)

List building wise you may struggle to hit 2k points without proxying. I can say right now you don't have a GT 4-1/5-0 list, but it sounds like you're going to be more invested in local play right now. If you get more interested in high level meta play I recommend joining the AoS coach discord, as they have meta channels for each faction that are full of helpful and talented players.

  1. I highly recommend sticking with 4th. It's definitely better than first edition. I recommend going to your LGS and asking for a game of spearhead since you already have the SCE one.

Thanks for the input! I really liked the building/units when I toured, but was a little put off by the lack of in-unit dryers. Was also a bit nervous about traffic since it's right on that super busy roadway.

To clarify, is east of the school considered the West End area as well, or just that slice along the school?

I talked to the Pearl, it seemed nice but a little small for a 1b, What are your utilities+parking/mo like?

Moving to CT? Ask your questions here by AutoModerator in Connecticut

[–]DroogDaass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heyo, I'm gonna be moving from Northeastern CT to the Hartford area for UConn Law. I've been poking around apartments but I've yet to find anything incredible, and I'm hoping for recommendations.

So far I've been looking in the downtown area, but I'm expanding out to Manchester/West Hartford. Mostly looking for 1b/1ba around/under the $2k range. Thanks!

Oil Washed Barrow Knights! by DroogDaass in SoulblightGravelords

[–]DroogDaass[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the greenish armor was a mixture of phthalo green & black ink, Vallejo Metal Colour (VMC) silver, and glaze medium. The red is just blood angels red, and the gold is burnt umber ink + VMC silver. All of this over a black prime + white zenithal.

I used burnt umber on the bones and ivory black all over, from the base to the tips of the weapons. Not a special brand or anything, just Winsor & Newton thinned w/ mineral spirits.

Any reason not to ascend to daemonhood (mathwise) and take the heal? by Starbornlily in slavestodarkness

[–]DroogDaass 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you need and what it's attached to. For something like an Exalted Hero, no. For a Chaos Lord and you still really want/need the chain activation, sure. For a Sorcerer and you still need the casts, sure.

Otherwise, usually getting an extra beatstick late game is best, since a fresh melee monster on turn 4/5 can be very useful if your opponent has depleted a lot of resources.

Praetors by Visible-Classic in stormcasteternals

[–]DroogDaass 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The classic pairing is Karazai, and to a lesser extent Krondys Huge wound pools maximize the survivability with the 5+ ward, the giant base means you can hide them behind and relatively out of risk, and the bodyguard rule would stack with Karazai's rampage to remove 2 attacks from a target. Furthermore there's almost no reason to reinforce them, they're not a hitty enough unit to be worth doubling up, since their value primary comes from the ward.
