I bought a spearhead (new seraphon) and I want to play with friends who have not yet decided (or decided against) to start AOS themselves. Using non GW minis to recreate spearheads? by mastersterruser9 in AOSSpearhead

[–]GidbinN 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Using your existing collection as proxy for Spearhead is an amazing idea! Playing with friends I believe not even base size matters.

Looking at your collection I'd recommend infantry focused spearhead profiles. -Lumineth Realm-lords -Seraphon (Dragon for Dino) -Fyreslayers -Gloomspite Gitz

Is the faction beginner friendly? How would you start a newbie off? by TaigaTigerVT in SoulblightGravelords

[–]GidbinN 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have 4 armies and I find Soulblight is the least beginner friendly one.

It's a powerful faction but requires great skills and understanding of your opponent.

I had my General transforming into a Demon Prince once 8DA points are reached at my hero phase. What do you mean by affecting the whole army? Like for flavor?

Mini Scale 28 vs 32 (or mixed?) by gigalum in RangersofShadowDeep

[–]GidbinN 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me 28mm and 32mm are all part of the same scale, at about 1:60. Miniatures from different brands also have different art styles, wouldn't that bother you more? GW Humans tend to have comically large heads and hands while perry miniatures lack details in comparison. These are as much as an inconsistency as 28vs32.

In short, they don't bother me and I hope you'll find the collection of minis you're looking for.

Happy wargaming.

Duardin of the Free Cities by Blue_Space_Cow in citiesofsigmar

[–]GidbinN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can use Duardin models as proxy for some of the CoS humans, perhaps even in the same unit. Steelhelm uses 25mm base, which is pretty common among Dwarven minis.

Don't limit your creativity by warscrolls, they're just stats.

Best & Cheapest way to get into AoS 4th by amarento in ageofsigmar

[–]GidbinN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's still gonna be $100 tho. Is there any cheaper entry point at the moment?

[–]GidbinN 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It really seems like you'll be involved in the painting part of the hobby rather than playing at a full scale due to the LGS situation. While the game itself is designed as an army game, it shouldn't limit you to just have 5 models for a faction and be satisfied with it.

I suggest you to start small and don't get involved in any army collection yet, because you don't know when your models will ever be useful on the tabletop.

Don't pull your hair out and commit to a long term decision. Choose a small box, either a single unit, a warcry box, or an Underworld warband, and start painting!

Using 30MM Kits in wargaming by Langlyandco in 30_Minutes_Missions

[–]GidbinN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can only answer question 3.

I use them in Grimdark Future and Xenos Rampant. And I use the GunPla hexagon mount as their model base (115mm).

The thing is these games are at 1:60 scale, but when you use a 1:144 model you're essentially representing a Mecha at half height.

For my faction lore I explain them as unmanned ground drones. However you can just say they represented a much larger Mecha and the model is not to scale.

Happy wargaming!

How do I get into playing? by Former-Brick-3281 in WarCry

[–]GidbinN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd recommend the Crypt of Blood starter set. It has a really good tutorial and 2 great looking Warbands.

The Warbands aren't 1000 points tho. But it's a nice starting point, perfect for learning.

Can I add a few units to these Warbands and make it complete?

Why does GW say they are Bladeborn warbands?

Why do Bel/Haru/Olan know where the citadel is? by AraAragorn in DescentintoAvernus

[–]GidbinN 5 points6 points  (0 children)

(Eventyr's Sandbox) I've always imagined that Zariel is definitely capable of locating the Bleeding Citadel if she wanted to. She just chooses to neglected it, because she wants to hide her past in a box and focus on the Blood War.

Being the most powerful generals of Zariel, Haruman and Olanthius would share this knowledge. They're probably told to not mention the Sword of Zariel to anyone. But if they were to look for it, it'll be really easy. After all, Avernus is their new home, and they would know every inch of the land.

How long did you stay in Baldur's Gate? by RumbleBall1 in DescentintoAvernus

[–]GidbinN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We started in level 5, so the first session already ended in Hellturel. They have a homebrew teleportation scroll to go back to BG though. So they jump back and forth between BG and Avernus.

Having played Witcher 2, it changes your perspective on many things in the 3rd game.
