Yeah but when has GW every align their release with TW or relate themselves product wise with TW. Also they do still sell Dark mechanicus units on FW unlike legion of Azgorh i assume the AoS version wouldn’t take any que from the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clan's Cynic Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 By the sounds of the voice files, the Chorfs in Total War will be based off the Legion of Azgor list rather than newly designed/reimagined the way Cathy and Kislev were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope they expand the roster a bit, I'm not asking for an entire new faction.... Well I am but that's for Araby and Nippon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im the opposite to you, I'm happy with the team for AoS and find the 40k rules bloated and over complex. I had to read, reread and reread again the genestealer cults crossfire rule and the golden boys fighting stances. I don’t know I read the new Nurgle book and I felt they made a lot of mistakes or where unclear on a lot of the mechanics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have plans for a a Hashut+Slaanesh carnival based on some lore from the Hedonites battletome, or I’m going to make them nautical themed from Zhar Vyxza from the SoB tome ( @KingBrodd please forgive me your swoleness, but I don’t plan on adding any gargants). The point I’m trying to make here is that as long as we’re having fun with the book and army, who cares how badly the rules suck? know we have some tournament/meta gamers here, but the most important rule is to have fun (followed by the rule of cool). I 100% agree! There's a reason why I don't participate much on the faction boards, I'm just not very competitive player and get my kicks from lore and other aspects or the hobby. And as I always joke, I had Dark Eldar a year or two before their 2011 reboot and played Bretonnia from 6th to 8th Ed. I still had fun, even if I lost 😂 To be honest, I haven't thought that far yet. I think a lot will depend in what direction GW takes Chorfs artistically - if we see the classic big hat style, I can see myself keep it conservative with reds and brass. A lot depends on the mood of the miniatures and of course if I'll get some inspiration to truly create My Dudes, like the yet-unfulfilled idea of a KO privateer ship Scarlet Duardin and her ragtag crew, which would be a (very loose) nod to a British sci-fi comedy show I'm very fond off. When I see the models is when my creative juices will start flowing. Will prevent what happened before SoB reveal when I spent a month listening to Attack on Titan's soundtrack and wrote fanfics (based on rumours and scant lore snippets from before) about them only to be disappointed when I saw the models (but at least I painted one of my aleguzzlers as the Colossal Titan) Also, obligatory...I'm so sorry@KingBrodd !!!

Alerak Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 So in the 40K codexes it is quite common for GW to put an image of what will be in the combat patrol for a faction in its battletome (Usually at the end of the model gallery). I was wondering is it the same with AOS and vanguard boxes, and does anyone know if the information is avaliable for the two new codexes yet? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume they will announce them latter this years, as even the 40k ones are really delayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kronos Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 I’ve totally zoned out for the better part of the last few pages. I’m sure the gaming side of this hobby is fun but man it flies past my head (I also have terrible patience, for humans). Every time Someone tries to teach me the game, or even when I watch a how to play video, it actually feels like this - 4 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nos Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 One of the interesting things with Chorfs will be seeing how they are affected by the existence of so many third party takes on the concept Because of GW's disinterest in Chorfs, for whatever reason, they never really locked down an aesthetic- their two existing presentations were pretty radically different from each other. So third party Chorf proxies have likewise been pretty creative abd many of them very good. My thinking/hope looking at the Hobgrots and their armour, and even things like the Sashimimos on the backs of some of the orruks, is that they're going to go with a Samurai weaponsmith culture- think hobgrot style armour but also with kabuki masks and the like. They're an obvious swap to me because futher to their strict martial hierarchical culture, which is a big part of Chorf lore, early modern samurai armies were pioneering in the use of mass gunpowder units. Also the Oni mythos is an obvious stand in for the middle Eastern inspired demons of the Chorfs as well as a hirthero untapped artistic source for GW which is so imitated elsewhere that respectful cultural representation needn't be a major headache. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmac Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 At this point, I start to wonder if armies that get White Dwarf updates aren't getting a better deal than the ones that have actual battletomes. Certainly the amount of new content seems about the same-You get new lore, Tactics, Strategies, maybe some additional allegiance abilities or whatever, and the price of the update is far lower... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novakai Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 (edited) Maybe I don’t think white dwarf are a great vehicle to be updating rules to begin with especially since it a limited publication and a good amount of people are unaware of them. it not like the three WD that Gitz got help them in any way either it a case by case basis. the best way would just be them release free PDF army updates every time they do a balance pass but they never like making big changes unless it’s monetize Edited March 6, 2022 by novakai 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noserenda Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Unfortunately it feels like updates have been effectively rolled into Warhammer+ vault and app if you dont buy the issue in question, though a PDF compilation with the regular updates would be nice, even if just things like the warscroll changes! That said they arent even bothering to put things like hobby bingo or titan banners up online these days, its like the whole company is regressing away from the internet 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooh so so tempting from a indie as well! Anyway! Back to rumours… Adepticon is about two weeks away and I’m fairly sure we will be getting a preview. Hopefully some more will be shown about the mysterious battletomes they put on the road map. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
