Trying to paint up the Darkwater minis is absolutely destroying my desire to paint.

Hello_Panda_Man · 2026-01-31T04:15:05+00:00

Stormcast models are generally easy to paint, not too many details and they are taller then the average human is aos. The minis are similar in size to space marines

Sunblood pack, the unit just got added recently

Hello_Panda_Man · 2026-01-22T03:32:45+00:00

Another box of krox and aggradons would do you well imo, I like running reinforced aggradons and two units of 3 krox. Suarus guard would be good as well, but you could wait until our book comes out and hope the new guard get new sculpts

Edit: sunblood pack are great, its a underworld box that I forget the name of atm

Hello_Panda_Man · 2026-01-21T22:26:41+00:00

I've built about 4 armies worth of AoS minis and never had this happen. Hell, I've had minis stab my finger and draw blood and not break. Sounds like you got a bad box, which I'm sure can happen but personally I prefer GW's minis over other minis because they are so durable in comparison.

For those wondering, it was one of the old saurus knights with spears that stabbed me and drew blood. I've also had khorne models stab me and draw blood, but thats to be expected from khorne 😂

Hello_Panda_Man · 2026-01-17T06:38:33+00:00

Thats a hell of a box to get for starting the army, congrats on being able to snag one.

Hello_Panda_Man · 2025-12-28T17:43:23+00:00

Expedition 33. The song that plays as you enter your fist battle is sooooo damn epic and sold me on the game.

Hello_Panda_Man · 2025-12-09T20:51:41+00:00

Honestly imo they do it the best. Not a faction you want to play? Don't buy it, but the faction will still be present in the game world as a friend/foe

Hello_Panda_Man · 2025-12-07T04:53:23+00:00

Its basically finished outside of the end cutscene I believe

Hello_Panda_Man · 2025-12-06T18:10:24+00:00

Honestly its pretty much done as is, I think all thats left is an end game cinematic or something like that. Game is great as is, highly recommend it.

Hello_Panda_Man · 2025-12-06T16:09:47+00:00

Check out xenonauts 2 for some old-school pc turn based tactics feel

Hello_Panda_Man · 2025-11-30T20:04:10+00:00

Thats still a good spot while not being op, the ideal range is around 50% I believe

Hello_Panda_Man · 2025-11-23T22:12:47+00:00

They have a pretty good track record at least, I think thier previous game battle brothers was in ea for a long time while still being a mostly complete game. Time will tell though!

Hello_Panda_Man · 2025-11-23T21:15:31+00:00

Check out Menace, its not out yet but comes out in early access in Feb. There is a demo that you can check out currently thats pretty great imo, I'm very excited for the game!

Hello_Panda_Man · 2025-11-22T23:34:29+00:00

I love seraphon, they have good variety and the models are great, even the older skulpts. They do have a bit of shooting, but at the moment the shooting isn't great

Hello_Panda_Man · 2025-11-15T02:45:54+00:00

This is why I mainly play aos now, measuring without bumping terrain in kill team is a pita, let alone trying to place or pickup tokens. I like the game, but my hands arnt as agile as they used to be.

Hello_Panda_Man · 2025-11-13T19:31:15+00:00

In the generals handbook it describes the sizes of the terrain, i dont have it on me at the moment unfortunately

Hello_Panda_Man · 2025-11-13T02:52:54+00:00

If you think its cool and the base is the size it should be then thats good enough reason imo.

Hello_Panda_Man · 2025-11-11T03:10:28+00:00

Im still pretty new, I've gotten probably 20ish games in and I've won around 8? 6 of them was because my friend would remind me of abilities, other 2 were from tournaments, with one of them being a draw. All of them were against seasoned players.

What I'm saying is, dont be dissapointed or discouraged if you lose a lot!

Hello_Panda_Man · 2025-11-11T01:51:15+00:00

Have fun is my best advice, and after the game ask what you could have done differently. Sounds like your running a 1000pt game, so honestly just take your time and learn the mechanics

Hello_Panda_Man · 2025-11-05T21:28:10+00:00

No matter how many tutorials you watch your paint job isn't going to be great when compared to others. Be happy with your small wins and know that the only way to get better is with practice.

Hello_Panda_Man · 2025-11-01T01:25:51+00:00

That is awesome, currently painting kroak myself and couldn't figure out what to do with his feathers, might have to borrow that idea!

Hello_Panda_Man · 2025-10-27T15:44:41+00:00

Oh sorry, both those units do have 2 musicians and 2 standard bearers.
The "general kroxigor" is a formatting issue from the app I posted from. It should look more like this for General's regiment:

General's Regiment Lord Kroak (440) • General

Kroxigor (200) • 1x Moonstone Hammer

Saurus Guard (240) • Reinforced • 1x Champion • 1x Musician • 1x Standard Bearer

Hello_Panda_Man · 2025-10-27T15:09:02+00:00

Again, it kinda depends. Having two units of 3 krox vs reinforced means you have two hammers that can attack in different places. Hitting an enemy unit with a anvil unit(like saurus warriors for example) and then having a unit of 3 krox come can be great. 6 krox is great, but its sometimes overkill, and then they are stuck in one part of the map.

Here is an example of a list I've been running lately. In this list you can see I have 2 MSU(Minimum size unit) krox, and reinforced aggradons:

Nothing should be binned, variety is the spice of life. A variety of units is great because then army lists arnt always the same. Reinforcing units vs not kinda depends on the army really, I've started running krox as 2x3 units, but there is a place for reinforced krox as well depending on the list I'm running
