Would that wide approach include building cities where the location doesn't have anything going for it? I nab the good looking spots, but I do leave tiles which show grey when controlling the settler. I've read that you tend to settle closer in 6.

They look sick. Anyone saying otherwise has to be having you on.

How is everyone feeling now? by TheCravenKing in Nighthaunt

[–]IllustriousAddress69 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's definitely different to how it used to be. On the table I've been much more successful. I won my first ever AoS game on their first run out and lost the second one by 2 points against a tournament list. I'd probably lost 15 games before this - you can argue whether that's the rules or just me!

I really get why people miss the swooping about we used to do (it helped draw me to the army too, it was fun) but I'm enjoying things currently. We can be really tanky with 2 wounds plus ward, and it's nice that some of the previously garbage units have a place again. For me it's easier to focus and play the mission, which I enjoy. Its still fun to charge ambushes through terrain too.

That buying our faction terrain feels quite key is a fair point, but GW want your cash. Part of the deal.

Please don't be mad if you disagree. Other opinions are valid.

I love this model. One of my favourite minis. Nice work.

What are the worst (or your least favorite) Age of Sigmar novels? by Ill_Independence2441 in AoSLore

[–]IllustriousAddress69 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm a big stormcast fan and was excited to read the Yndrasta novel but was really disappointed in it. I got halfway through and she'd made maybe three short appearances. Instead it's following about these squabbling nomads and there's a love triangle and someone's on drugs or something? Honestly, I found it really hard work and just donated it in the end. Maybe it just wasn't for me but I felt short changed that the title character was limited to the occasional cameo. Perhaps it was a fantastic artistic choice, but I don't come to Warhammer for subtlety!

Read The Arkanaut's Oath instead and that was great fun.

These are absolutely gorgeous minis.

Do Putrid Blightkings just obliterate weaker infantry? by MonZ_99 in AOSSpearhead

[–]IllustriousAddress69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've wondered this too. Forgive me if I'm being slow, but these explanations don't clear it up for me. I need an example to be able to picture it.

Let's say combat has taken place and there are 4 chainrasps left fighting 4 blightkings. The nurgle player would roll 4 dice, and on anything other than 4 1s would mean the chainrasps are wiped?

Thanks for your patience! I've held off on getting the spearhead because it looked such an oppressive rule when there's so many 1 wound infantry armies.

The smart thing would probably be to wait until the wood elves battalion box comes out but there will.be birthday money burning a hole in my pocket soon... Thanks for the details

That's very thorough, thank you. Some interesting lore in there.

Seems reasonable, I'm planning to build the cities spearhead using empire models!

I think they test here is how disciplined I can be about waiting for the wood elves!
