AoS So if you were collecting 1 army from each Grand alliance?

2 horde armies! Skaven AND Gloomspite Gitz!

I won't lie, I love both of those armies. I use to collect Skaven in WHFB days. A very long time ago.

I was looking at them in AoS and the army I would want to build would be Screaming bell + lots of clan rats + giant rats and rat ogres. I don't really care that much for clan Skrye or clan Pestilence. I would not collect this army because I would just be to much work.

Same for Gloomspite. Squigs and Night Goblins are epic. But filelding a whole army of goblins! I don't know what would be more work the goblin army or the Skaven. But they are both pretty daunting.

As I said tho, I like all the armies Games Workshop makes. My least favourite factions are Dwarf and Dark Elf. But I still like them. I just find them less interesting then the other factions.

I personally don't see the problem of fielding a dwarf or elf army now with the Cities of Sigmar book. Though I agree splitting up dwarfs and elves but letting Skaven keep everything, does seem unfair.

 

Order: Seraphon, and maybe fyreslayers
Destruction: ironjawz
Death: ossiarch bonereapers
Chaos: Skavens

 

the current death bands do not call me much, and that I see quite curious

 

You, sir, know good taste when you see it. I salute you!

 

Just god my Blades Of Khorne army today.

So this is the first army that I have chosen, that I really "wanted".

I got Stormcast and Nighthaunt because of the cheap box sets and I was just getting into it. I bought Seraphons because the person I play with wanted them.

I like all those armies though. But Blades Of Khorne is a different feeling. These models look really great. I have about 30 models. And only a blood stoker as a character.

I might actually mix this with some Khorne demons and have a Demon Prince as the general. But I have it packed away, I am just going to collect for it, until I finish this Seraphon army. Probably will add a Stegaddon, Basilidon and Skinks to finish it off.

I think there is a possiblity of new Sarus models, so I don't want to get anymore coldone Knights or Saurus unless I am sure. I sadly miss out on a Carnosaur, but never mind.

I hope they don't update Skinks to the Blood Bowel one's with the big eyes.

 

Order: hmmm...I don’t knooooowww...it’s such a hard decision.

Chaos: skaven are my second favorite army in the game. Too bad they don’t have any other SC boxes. If I had to choose one clan I would go with Skryre or Moulder with clanrats mixed in. Either that or Tzeentch. I love the lord of change and tzaangor models, so I would build an army of those(if only they had their own SC box). Both skaven and Tzeentch are always scheming and overthinking things to a point where they end up screwing themselves over(sort of like me in real life) which is always fun.

Destruction: Beastclaw Raiders. I love monsters in warhammer.

Death: either Flesh-Eater Courts or Nighthaunt. FEC because they look cool and I like their lore. Nighthaunt because they look cool and fun to paint.

 

Order: Seraphon. I just wish we'd get a new battletome to retcon all the early installment weirdness of our current one.
Chaos: Skaven. I'm especially partial towards clans Eshin and Skryre, maybe with some Moulder mixed in. I'm not a fan of Pestilens.
Destruction: Ogor Mawtribes.
Death: Legions of Nagash. I'm looking to do a Blood Knight army.

 

Order:
Seraphon and deepkin
already have so I'm set!(don't worry I'm not spamming eels)Seraphon was my first Warhammer love. Rip lizardmen. Also I worked on a cruise ship and grew to love the ocean so deepkin are a natural fit too.

Chaos:
Tzeentch
Spells spells spells for everyone. I ran a double deamon prince list with a LoC. It was a lot of fun , had -3rend relic on sword DP and +1 hit for axe DP. Sometimes I would run ogrid with relic that let's him attack twice once per game. Was a lot of fun, but I wasn't huge fan of how the deamons look and the lore. I sold it for my deepkin army.

Death:
New death army looks pretty dope.

Destruction:
Goblins look fun to play but I've always loved me some orcs and the new battletome just came out. Don't know tbh.

 

Oh man I'm the same way. If only I made that connection sooner. I would of loved my Tzeentch army more. Now I miss it haha.

 

Order: Seraphon ( but i do have 1100 pts of fyreslayers as a back up lol)
Chaos: torn between Khorne and Slaanesh… I really like the concept, fluff and model range of the fighting god... but the hedonites are just OP...
Death: honestly... prolyl try out the Ossiarchs. not really interested in the other factions
Destruction: Orrucks, Iron jaws.... I would paint them reverse to look like John deer tractors instead of catipillars, with yellowed skin instead of green skin.

 

Order: Besides Seraphon, it'd be Cities of Sigmar; I have this idea of making a Tempest's Eye army of Steam Tank battleline backed by a Kharadron Ironclad and Gyrobombers/copters, do a real kitbash job to turn the Steam Tanks more Khardron-oriented.

Chaos: A real tough toss up between Skaven and Tzeentch. The Skaven as a culture interest me far more, but the Tzeentch models are just sooooo gooood. I would have a ton of fun blending insane rainbow technicolor patterns onto the Tzeentch stuff.

Death: As it stand, none of the Death factions have a huge allure to me in their playstyle, so I'd have to pick Nighthaunt, again, because I love those ghost models. GW did a real bang up job with them.

Destruction: I'm actually wanting to start a Destruction army and I'm horribly horribly torn between pretty much all the available factions. Despite the Beastclaw Raiders being extraordinarily suboptimal right now, they have a great aesthetic, I like small unit size armies, and I like cavalry. The Gloomspite Gitz have an incredible range with the new sculpts and their mechanics look like a ton of fun. Finally, the Bonesplitterz would be a ton of fun, especially with the new rules. I'm just bitter that they they're probably going to squat base Greenskinz. If I had to pick right now for the sake of this thread, I think I'd pick Gloomspite Gitz.

 

I have recently seen a Khardron Ironclad being kitbashed more Steam Tank-oriented, looked amazing.

Gr, Imrahil

 

Order: Seraphon first and foremost, of course But I really would like to get into Idoneth Deepkin at some point, when I have the funds. I love sea creatures and aquatic-themed characters and armies, so they really appeal to me.

Chaos: Honestly, I really don't like Chaos much in general. I'd probably pick Tzeentch because I like magic.

Death: Unless they decide to bring back Tomb Kings, probably Nighthaunt, because an army of ghosts is just cooler than an army of skeletons.

Destruction: Difficult pick between Ironjawz and Beastclaw Raiders.

 

Whelp I have to change my destruction answer, as I picked up a BCR start collecting from a guy on the Facebook sales page. pre-painted decently and just a little over the actual cost of the box. also looking online BCR has some decent rules now.
