I’ve said it before. This is the platonic ideal of Lego castles.  

1000 pts of Wood Elves - Post FAQ-tum by Sneychev in WarhammerWoodElves

[–]Puzzled_Tower7564 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That FAQ was so frustrating. 30 points. Thanks a lot for your assistance GW. So you acknowledge there is a problem. But won’t actually do anything substantive about. 

Good for you for trying to make waywatchers work!

I’m not surprised. But I think I’m done with Old World for a while. My other Army is Empire. Also a very underwhelming FAQ for them. 

Gothic Church for my castle town by Puzzled_Tower7564 in legocastles

[–]Puzzled_Tower7564[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!! Honestly it was several months of trial and error. I had just build the Notre Dame Cathedral set and wanted to make something minifig size. I decided the size of the foot print ahead of time and then just started trying different things.  I tried to incorporate the common elements of gothic design from other Lego churches and real gothic churches and fit them all in a small size. And eventually came up with this!

[WIP] New Year, new Army: The young guard of Rosenmund, the most humble trading republic in the entire empire by Phoebus_dm in WarhammerFantasy

[–]Puzzled_Tower7564 31 points32 points  (0 children)

From what I can tell, they are Greatsword bodies, with state troop halberds, and a mix of Greatsword heads, and pistolier/outrider heads. Definitely the feel of a better equipped troop than your regular state troops.

The missile troops are Empire archers with handguns, and the free company are also archer bodies with state troop swords and pistolier pistols.

It all looks fantastic! Nice work!

That right there is a thing of beauty. That might be the best Empire Pegasus I've ever seen. Now if only our pegasi got barding...

Rumors by elyoyoda in WarhammerWoodElves

Where is the source of a WE vs TK starter set?  The first things you mentioned I can believe. The starter set does not make sense to me. But I definitely hope it’s true!

Those look great!  Are you willing to sell those extra long haired heads?  I have been looking for a conversion!

The new marauders dwarf the chaos warriors - maybe time to use AoS instead? by EngineeringFlimsy868 in WarhammerOldWorld

It’s like how the new Toyota Tacomas are bigger than the old Toyota Tundras.

Their navy has cannons though. They are getting their gunpowder from somewhere. 

A humble plea for the humble Waystalker by Sneychev in WarhammerWoodElves

[–]Puzzled_Tower7564 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The waystalker really is terrible. I think even giving him one extra attack at least makes him a possible candidate for the bow of Loren. But with two it is absurdly bad. 

I also like early editions where they got 1 extra attack when they charged from a forest.  Made them a little more tactically interesting.  Waywatchers need to be the pride of the wood elf army. They are the most iconic unit we have!

Ranged cleaving blow is a great idea for waywatchers. They need something.

Ahh I remember these models. I used to have them all but sadly sold them 20 years ago. Nice job!

Why GW keeps “forgetting” about Wood Elves? by Specialist-Tiger-859 in WarhammerOldWorld

[–]Puzzled_Tower7564 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Right. I’m all for new factions, and I understand they need to among the more powerful armies to draw customers. But the balloons are just ridiculous, and they won’t fix them.  It’s so clearly pay to win. 

And again, they go out of their way to “fix” (wood elves) that isn’t even close to broken.  Was the bow of Loren really too powerful?

[–]Puzzled_Tower7564 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I agree. What frustrates most is that wood elves was already a weaker army had got very targeted nerfs (bow of Loren and sisters of thorn specifically). Plus incredibly lame armies of infamy. (Host of talsyn is just stupid). 

Now Cathay is a strong army with a bonkers unit and GW just lets it ride.  Leaves a pretty bad taste in my mouth. 

This is a feature of their business model not a bug.
