it's def worth your time to watch/listen to some of the videos & podcasts by various creators out there. Even if they don't match you play style preferences, they do help you get a wider sence of the game & the community.

Frustratingly not that much that I'm aware of since 1e, at least not 'on screen'. He was pretty active in 1e, though that was a very messy time with lots of retcons as the setting lore slowly came together over time. post all the retcons... Mannfred was involved in the Wars of the Dead...

moden aos skeletons are larger than 7e skittles, but the proportiins are such that their hands & skulls are still smaller than old tomb kings skeletons. This conversion w empire state troops should still work, but would be a bit more difficult due to the weapon & shield arms maybe not all being...

That's a big part of what I like about mannfred, but still very much something that makes sense for others to not like. Mannfred isn't just an antagonist or villain, he's a proper heel. He draws the heat, he's one of the most hatable characters in Warhammer canon. He's not sympathetic, he's...

There have been times when community stuff broke through. 6th edition dark elves had a pretty dire army book, and a homebrew errata document circulated via druchii.net became popular enough to see adoption via some independent events before eventually being canonized outright in white dwarf...

Preview show tonight at 7:30 pm est. AoS will be there, and major reveals are expected, but primarily for Nurgle. I don't think undead announcements are expected - OBR are the only undead faction that haven't received their 4e book yet, but as far as I'm aware they're expected to be the last...

Preview show tonight at 7:30est. Old World will be at the event and is expected to see some significant announcements, but last rumors I heard the model reveals were going to be a 2nd wave for Cathay. Nothing is expected for Undead, as far as I know the recent Tomb Kings heroes were all that's...

Glad to hear it! Getting stuck a few times is all part of the metroidvania experience, but I think dread does a pretty good job of shepherding the player towards progression - often closing areas behind you as new ones open up in order to keep the explore-able area manageable through the early...

I have all of From's souls games on Playstation, plus DS1 on switch, and would be happy to play through any of them again if you ever get the itch. Admittedly, the co-op in these games is a bit awkward without seamless co-op mods which are only easily available on PC. By default, the design...

no, i dont thunk there's been any decrease in tow sales or management shift from tow to aos. if anything it's maybe the opposite - tow's relative success pushing gw to try to make aos look more like old world... though even then, gw has a massive procuction runtime, they don't & cant turn on a...

I'm not a big fan of kroak myself. A bit too busy imo. I much prefer the newer generic slaan. :p While I agree that Archaon and Allariele aren't too much to my taste, and I wouldn't put them in the top 10 AoS models right now, when they were released they were big impressive models that very...

Honestly, I don't know where they're at thematically or aesthetically with AoS these days. I like almost all of the releases individually, but I often find myself feeling like different releases rarely feel like they belong in the same universe, let alone aos specifically. That said, there's...

Less a direct reference thing, and more just an observation based on feats in lore. The bone wall around Sylvania immediately before the end times in particular is a feat of necromantic magic that is more nagashian in scope than pretty much anything not done by literally Nagash, and then we...

speaking of 3d pr8nting, not sure where else to post this, but a pretty cool kickstarter going for 3d print files for a bundle if undead minis plus some graveyard terrain plus (the big draw imo) a spooky gothic cathedral type building...

i have no qualms about 3d prints in terms of 'supporting the game' or whatever. I have no loyalty to gw's shareholders. I have no problem giving gw money, but all else being equal i'd rather buy print files direct from an indie sculptor. However, I do have loyalty to the proprietors of any...

One thing to note is that there is a toggle for 'include renegades' which sets whether or not to include results using the Square Based community/homebrew legends pdf faq & errata document. setting this to 'on' knocks vamp counts up a bit relative to other factions in appearance rate. The site...

As for abhorash - he has only been obliquely implied. Vhordrai had a master in the age of myth, a "blood emperor" who he served, who rebelled against nagash and was imprisoned (again, Nagash will never destroy a traitor) for doing so. This blood emperor is very abhorash-shaped, but we have no...

In terms of watsonian reasons... wsoran got punked by his apprentice (who later got punked by /his/ apprentice). even if he pulled an uno reverse to possess them after death (which the lore isn't terribly consistent about), that doesn't speak highly of his competence. He also just doesn't...

I have mixed feelings about it myself. On the one hand, the new warhammer quest stuff looks pretty cool. Absolutely no shade towards the sculptors, I love the models we've seen so far, lots of personality, none of that kind of soulless feeling that's been dragging down 30k/40k models lately...

A couple bits of potentially relevant AoS news in the past week: https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/rush3hdf/warhammer-age-of-sigmar-miniature-of-the-decade-the-winners/ The fan-voted top ten minis of 10 years of AoS went up on warcom. Unfortunately my personal pick, Katakros...
