GW News: LAS VEGAS OPEN 2025

Hardly strange, it's just going back to the way it used to be...

 

Did the original ogre kingdoms have the whole neverending winter thing though? That's the main thing I feel is weird. I mean, what happens when they fight & travel together? The regular ogres freeze to death? If it weren't for that it'd be fine.

Yeah, but at least neither of those subfactions is followed around by a magical climate that'd kill the other subfaction when they happen to ally for a while.

 

I think the beastclaw raiders with the everwinter lore will become a subfaction like the various stormchambers, freecities, warclans etc.

 

I think the reason that so many factions were fractured in the beginning of AoS, was because GW had plans about turning the remenants of various factions into their own thing, by building their foundation on the pre-existing models and only adding a few ekstra models to the range.
As there would be many different factions with a relatively small roster of models, such as the daughters of Khaine, but i think they dropped the idea along the way.

 

There was never ending hunger!

As for freezing... those Ogres have a lot of insulation (fat).

That makes sense. Everything was split apart and now they are bring them all back together again. It's probably a good move, otherwise AoS will end up with too many armies to manage.

 

Before the arrival of the first General's Handbook it was a dumpster fire. Also that was the time of non-stop SCE. I don't have any fondness for AoS, but even I can admit that it is much better now.

 

I remember that in the first rulebook, closer to a rules page, there weren't any points and the designers downright encourged people to just bring their whole collection of miniatures, it was wild.

 

This one is even better...

 

This are brilliant:





But this is terrible:



Those are the Wrong Trousers, and not in a good way.

Feast of Bones is truly a welcome surprise. I am really liking the Ossiarch models (except for Pharaoh Wallace up here, and I thought the centipult was ugly), and I wanted to see if they were going to squat the rest of the ogres.

 

This guy is pretty awesome...

 

They really captured the look of a warrior of Dzjengis Khan. Like the look of it.

What I don't get though is why his hand and underarm are bloodred and the spear is all nice and clean?
Or is the Red hand a tribes-thing?

Gr, Imrahil

 

I’d say it would partly be a tribe thing and partly because he must have had a snack (read: a whole cow or reindeer) before arriving on the battlefield

 

I think this one would look great not just for Ogres but also for my Greenskins army, as Orcs have similarly ramshackle encampments and probably have their own cobbled-together cauldrons to boil up whatever they can find...

 

I found a leak of the endless spells the Ossiarchs will have



The big halv snake skeleton would make for some great conversions.
