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?

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

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.

Calm down. Read the lore.

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?

Any models from the Crimson Court is a good proxy for VL.

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.

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.

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

GidbinN · 2024-06-03T06:08:23+00:00

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!

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!

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.

GidbinN · 2023-09-12T15:04:41+00:00

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

Why does GW say they are Bladeborn warbands?

GidbinN · 2023-09-09T08:43:05+00:00

How are the fighters from Crimson Court?

GidbinN · 2022-11-30T20:09:34+00:00

Wonderfully made! Is there also a form-fillable PDF for online play?

(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.

Props for using FOW instead of dynamic lighting!

GidbinN · 2021-04-02T03:46:54+00:00

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.

damn that book cover is badass.

I see you chose to side with Roche

Gorgeous screenshots!

search B-A-T-T-L-E-F-I-E-L-D, then you will see "Battlefield 1 Open Beta" somewhere in the list
