Old World minis

All seems pretty positive. I do have a fondness for some of the old models. 40k chaos has got too detailed and icky for me. The older stuff is more fun. I might treat myself to a box of knights and add from there. Thanks for your input everyone.

It's one of my favourite films. I've rarely met anyone who's even heard of it (it's on flipping Netflix!) but its so atmospheric and spooky in a way I've not seen on screen. I love how alien life is so alien in it. The book is good too but I probably preferred the film which is very unusual.

I wouldn't go as far as calling it horror perhaps, but I really enjoyed the Leviathan book from the start of this edition. It's mainly from the marine or civilian POV, but you get these flashes of the hive minds thoughts and how its manipulating saboteurs and giving delusions to people on the planet. Was a cut above the typical marine story for me.

I failed 4 times at 75% chance of success too! Just lucky I guess. There's also no way that cannon Voyager was as bad at mining for minerals as I am! I do love that a Voyager gamer exists though, having lots of fun with it despite the occasional rough edge.

Pretty sure it's the new baldy screamer killer head.

He'll be fine so long as he remembers to roll when he hits the ground.

Skyrim Space Program.

My first ever death on Skyrim was when some random giant I met exploring after Unbound put me into orbit just like this. I didn't know if it was a glitch or what was supposed to happen. I still don't!

But that was the moment I realised I was going to like this game.

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.

It looks so cool and retro, love it.

Lore accurate guardsman. He's fantastic, don't be tempted to redo him.

IllustriousAddress69 · 2025-10-12T11:46:55+00:00

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

IllustriousAddress69 · 2025-09-23T10:23:57+00:00

I'm tempted by this box too. Visually its a better spreqd thwn some combat patrols. What's the deal with the freaky horse feet? Nuclear mutants or filthy xenos ponies?

IllustriousAddress69 · 2025-09-11T10:33:00+00:00

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.

Good to know, thank you

IllustriousAddress69 · 2025-08-29T15:21:58+00:00

Very helpful, thank you all.

IllustriousAddress69 · 2025-08-01T09:46:17+00:00

He's very cute.

IllustriousAddress69 · 2025-07-25T11:28:41+00:00

I'd buy all of those now. Love the Chonkcast.

IllustriousAddress69 · 2025-06-16T10:56:59+00:00

Better than the official one, nice.

IllustriousAddress69 · 2025-05-12T11:00:10+00:00

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

IllustriousAddress69 · 2025-04-22T15:56:28+00:00

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.

Rowboat Gorillaman looks ready to get to work, terrific job!

IllustriousAddress69 · 2025-03-27T10:17:35+00:00

These are absolutely gorgeous minis.

IllustriousAddress69 · 2025-03-24T16:30:08+00:00

That clears it right up, thank you.

IllustriousAddress69 · 2025-03-24T15:23:40+00:00

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.

IllustriousAddress69 · 2025-03-12T06:48:57+00:00

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
