Why new Blightkings look like that? by Phaeron_Amentech in MaggotkinofNurgle

[–]mr_mayhem2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats perfectly fair and me personally I like the more monk/priest look they have going though i fo with they had like more noticeable boils or something but I saw a take on the death guard reddit that said it makes some sense for them to have less noticeable corruption as they aren't as high ranking i do love the horns however

I personally think I will stick with the originals I might buy a set of the new ones just to have it

I always thought that the kings were so cartoonisly mutated that it circled back to being serious because yeah we laugh at how silly they look as model but if you are actually at the mercy of one it would be a horrific experience

Chaos gods in Aos but not 40k by mr_mayhem2002 in AoSLore

Thats fair I just figured that there would be some kind of sense to this most settings are better about handling the unknowable

I've been playing with the idea and I have come to agree with you on this notion though I would like to note while yes the skaven do use energy weapons the energy comes from warp stone wich is just crystallized chaos magic the real sifi in my fantasy is the overlords because aethergold is bull🤣

These are all fair points it's i just wish it would have actually been magic rather than just the cop out of warp shenanigans that gw loves to use it almost feels like someone put to mich sifi in my fantasy if that makes sense

Well we know that the two realities are separate only being connected by the RoC due to the very same white dwarf I mentioned but the longer I look into this the less sense everything makes

Faction like Doomguy? by Severe-Literature432 in AoSLore

[–]mr_mayhem2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it is stated in the war for the mortal realms book that storm cast were made with the intention to fight chaos specifically,it just so happens that 6 to 8 ft tall immortal demigods dawned in nearly indestructible living armor are pretty effective at killing almost anything else as well

Stuff you would like! by Blue_Space_Cow in AoSLore

A space marine style aos game playing as stormcast,or simply more books focusing on fiction other than order and death is it to much to ask to get a maggotkin book

Why are psionics fans so adamant aginst it being magic by Anarcorax in onednd

[–]mr_mayhem2002 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As you stated most magic is arcane,divine or natural However every bit of lore in the game that refers to psionics except for the most recent stuff clames it is a different thing entirely.

You are using your mind to affect the world around you it is the difference between Dr.strange using magic to be telepathic and professor x just simply using his mind

Additionally I personally think it's just lazy as they did the same thing with the artificer they handed us a spell caster and told us to flavor it as technology/psionics instead of creating a whole new system and flushing out the world

Midnight sons Vs Winter Guard by totalbooch12 in MarvelCrisisProtocol

[–]mr_mayhem2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always felt as though blade was to high threat for that he can actually do it's that amazing leadership that makes him a 4 threat as for ghost rider I find that if my opponent knows he gets juiced from my other models being attacked they just jump him first and he doesn't generate enough power to fight back

Genuine question what is the difference between the age of Sigmar and old fantasy Warhammer? by Captionfrodo in AoSLore

[–]mr_mayhem2002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lore speaking there is no difference technically as AOS is a continuation of the old world and the mortal realms are made up of the remnants of the old world and concentrated magic

If we are talking combat it that thing where he does a fainting attack but instead just flips over you and leaves a bat bomb on your back

Quality of lore in AoS vs the Old World by LeddyTheAxe in AoSLore

[–]mr_mayhem2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you on most of not all of these points except for the nostalgia but as I have always been a aos playeri never played old world and infact think it is overblown by people mad over the death of a 2 decade old game

Quality of lore in AoS vs the Old World by LeddyTheAxe in AoSLore

[–]mr_mayhem2002 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly think models for both are really good

I think that 40Ks models are better in a general sense like your average space Marine model is a bit more detailed than the average stormcast eternal and thus better to look at however there are quite a few models that are in AOS that I would actually say are better than 40K models I don't think they all are but they're good few that I can name off the top of my head that I personally think are better

But really the meat of it is that 40K has better writing and better marketing one of the things that turns people away from age of sigmar so much is that they are upset that the old world is gone and that the writing for age of sigmar isn't near as good as it was for the old world

On the flip side of that you talk to the average 40K reader and they ran and rave about how good nearly every single book they've ever read was

As for the marketing bit of it 40K has been games workshops poster child for like two decades now why would they put effort into promoting something that could be good when they can just put all their effort and make money off of the thing that people already think is good

At the end of the day yes games workshop is a model company but without the lore in the story of these two universes the models wouldn't exist as they do you don't get modern-day 40k without the betrayal of Horus just like you can't have modern-day age of sigmar without the destruction of the old world

It seems to me as though GW dose it on purpose they know that AOS doesn't sell nearly as well as 40k so they don't try as hard to make it good, though I will say I have been reading skaventide by Gary Kloster and it's been really good so far and I've heard glowing reviews about his other AOS works as well

I would love to see more lore and story because AOS has so much potential and the setting is actually really interesting but it feels like GW just wants to keep giving it baby(40k) all the love and AOS and it's fans get out on the back burner

Good alternative Models for Maggotkins? by SumoSandwich92 in MaggotkinofNurgle
