All this plane hopping winds of magic nonsense is impossibly lame, IMO. As always, opinions will differ, but I personally can't stand the new lore.

I think the problem with this is this is that it acknowledges that AoS has absolutely no legs as a competitive game AT ALL. Even casually competitive games are laughably broken. So who is going to play it? Shits and giggles players will play it. People who are really just down for having a...

You can often find those old models on ebay if you take your time

Yeah, try and build your list with battlescribe or something if you don't have a rulebook, so you get access to some of the other units, magic items, etc :)

Great work! Must take a lot of time.

I made a post ages ago (probably on another forum) when the old Chaos 40K codex dropped. It was stripped bare, the first codex the studio applied their 'minimalist' approach to (I think Dark Angels was the other one before they did before they abandoned that approach) and everyone was losing...

I think if one were trying to be very diplomatic, they could make that argument :) But I also think both games are (or were, in the case of WHFB) trying to do exactly the same thing, which is provide massed fantasy battles on the tabletop. I stuck with WHFB for a long time because it was really...

To each their own, I guess. I don't see how you can get much more fantasy than KoW. There's dragon riding heroes, ghosts, orcs, elves, dwarves, (dwarf berserkers riding enormous badgers!) undead, demons and monsters. As for magic, one of the things I hated about WHFB magic was how it was all...

Yeah, I love their dwarves, both the Abyssal and the normal ones.

I really like the 'fresh' feel of the world. I like that there is so much blank space to fill in, and the various races manage to stay true to their various tropes without being stale and tired. I particularly like the Abyss, being a suitable "Chaos Wastes" analogy, without the thematic drawbacks.

I'm finding myself strangely attracted to the Mantic elves, actually. I know they're quite divisive, but I reckon they'll look really good with a few tweaks. Also, the price is fantastic!

You could upload them to imgur and then link to the image?

Yeah, I put an old mounted vampire model in a unit of Black Knights and he looked like he was riding a shetland pony. Their horses really got out of control there for a while.

It's worth noting that the Gamezone Mournful Knights are puny. Really, really small compared to other cavalry models from GW.

Come to the dark side and play Kings of War with them!f

Ever since the AoS rumours hit my enthusiasm for anything Fantasy related dropped right off. But now that I've discovered Kings of War it's picked right up again! While I've been adding to my Vampires army, I'm also starting up a Kingdoms of Men army as well. Rather than an adaptation of an...

That Harpy's Embrace is particularly nice. What is the scale like? I have some of the Gamezone Mournful Knights and they're quite small compared to GW models.

I like your skeletons a lot. They look a lot like mine actually!

AoS needs ETC more than ETC needs AoS.

It's pretty easy to NEARLY break the enemy. Have them sitting on a lot of wounds, but because of their positioning it's hard to get stuck into them with one of your units. Lightning bolt to the rescue! You only need one casualty to force that nerve check.
