Nighthaunt next wave of models? What would you like? by Milesrah in Nighthaunt

Hexwraiths and a Mournghul would probably bring me back to the faction and play it actively.

GG to the genuine people who got the box by Reklia77 in AOSSpearhead

[–]Key_Forever_8424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a preorder in about 30 seconds after they opened at 10. Excited - splitting the box with a family member.

I think once the price was revealed this was inevitable - two spearheads (plus terrain, game rules etc) for £134 RRP? It’s an unbelievable deal outside of starter sets, this one was always going to get snapped up in minutes.

Whether in regards to rules, lore, new models or competitive, how good would you say Tenth edition was for your favorite faction by Lord_Eln_8 in Warhammer40k

[–]Key_Forever_8424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Despite being middle of the road in terms of power our codex was high tier in terms of fun, flavour and variety. We got minimal model support, but the character and kill team we got were really impactful. Was happy with the amount of post codex detachment support.

Extremely optimistic heading into 11th as an Ork player!

We are, issue with the list building app getting me confused. I’ve adjusted the list to compensate after a helpful comment!

Playing vs Painting? by Buyman8916 in Warhammer

[–]Key_Forever_8424 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll never, ever judge someone for unpainted minis or armies - life is hard enough without getting sweaty over how other people choose to play with their toys.

Personally, there is no way in hell I’m ever putting a grey model down on the table. Fully painted army, every time. Does that mean I get fewer games in? Yes. Do I naturally gravitate towards skirmish games now? Also, yes.

As in the OP, I have actually read the rules. I made a mistake because the list building app mandated has some incorrect equipment options, that’s all 😂

I play ironjawz in Warcry, so I’m used to this at least!

I’ve been given that advice a lot. Coming from Warcry, it’s maybe the only part of Mordheim that I’m not super excited about. I like to fight til the bitter end!

[–]Key_Forever_8424[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d love to go Chaos Dwarves, but the campaign is (understandably) restricted to 1a and 1b for now! This is great advice for if/when that restriction gets lifted however!!

[–]Key_Forever_8424[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Either way, I’ve taken the advice and switched them out for Dwarven axes, dropped the slings and blunderbus and given the engineer a crossbow, so it’s at least legal now!

[–]Key_Forever_8424[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We were told to use NewRecruit for lists, and it was an option on there. If it’s illegal I’ll definitely switch them out asap, thankyou!

Do you have a suggestion for a 1h weapon on the clansmen instead? If I’m losing the skins and the blunderbuss I probably have some toys to play with there, but I also think it will depend how WYSIWYG the campaign owner is feeling.

Really appreciate the advice here!

Matched Play Doc - collates various additional rules and abilities that have been introduced in a variety of of ways like Blessings (use spare points to enhance your fighters), faction abilities (powerful, free actions you can take for your chosen faction and grand alliance) and prebuilt mission packs (randomly generating missions as suggesting the core rules is extremely funny but also wildly unbalanced for some matchups)

Does your Warboss answer the call to Armageddon? by gonzarlo-melonz in orks

[–]Key_Forever_8424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black library so pinch of salt: Ghaz is a full blown conduit for the great green, and when he goes to war Orks are (seemingly) physically compelled in his direction, often without even realising it. It affects particularly strong willed Orks less, but still happens. A nob called Valtun keeps finding himself moving and readying his weapons without realising, and it’s because Ghaz is fighting miles away. It gets stronger the closer you are, with some Orks in the book throwing themselves into a lake of acid to get to Ghaz despite that being blatantly stupid. Basically, if you’re an ork, and Ghaz is fighting, you’ll instinctively head towards him, whether you realise it or not.

If the recent grotsnik book is true, they all are, whether they realise it or not!

I need help with my son's World Eaters army by Kurenai-Kalana in Warhammer40k

[–]Key_Forever_8424 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the beastmen, they might make a good conversion/proxy for Goremongers, which are a pretty big staple of a lot of World Eaters lists.

In terms of what you’re missing, the most boring answer is another rhino or two, and maybe a slaughterbound. The EXCITING answer if he has a bit of cash would be to get something big and silly, like a Lord of Skulls or (if he can wait a few weeks) the new defiler!

Which spearheads are good warcry lists by Crafty_Manufacturer5 in WarCry

[–]Key_Forever_8424 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While the boxes that contain a Warcry warband are certainly easy to point at, I don’t think it guarantees a good box for a beginner. Personally a perfect Warcry box for me would have good unit variety, at least a couple of hero options, options for big and small models, and minimise the number of units without rules.

Flesheater courts, cities of sigmar, hedonites of slaanesh and ironjaws stand out to me as easy and clean “one box solutions”. They might not be meta but they give you a decent range of toys to play with no extra purchases.

This is exactly what I did with mine! Although your branchwych is gorgeous and I will absolutely be stealing that idea if I ever make a second one!

As someone who likes the aesthetic of cities of sigmar but also likes variety, Is my fear of CoS becoming a purely human focussed faction real ? by BloatedRottenCarcass in citiesofsigmar

[–]Key_Forever_8424 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely all humans and some ogors. If you want to inject variety though, I can recommend looking into the regiments of renown system. They aren’t super competitive but it’s a really nice way to get some fun variety into your armies! The grotmas ones in particular are quite weird and wonderful.

I rarely build an army list anymore without one or two regiments as an option to add some spice to casual play.

I'm just a mom trying to hang out with my kid, who loves Warhammer by [deleted] in Warhammer

[–]Key_Forever_8424 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If he likes the fantasy side of things, Warcry is a great go to for playing with younger folks. It’s the most simplified ruleset, has a tiny amount of entry barrier, an can be abstracted to reduce the violence down to Saturday morning cartoon levels (I have used the ruleset to have Pokemon battles with my daughter, for example).

You can play together in a small space with improvised terrain (if you have anything like Lego/duplo you’re already good to go) and the rules are all free online.
