The drums have been beating for a while, but now they’re too loud to ignore. The new AoS ruleset it due to drop in weeks. I’m somewhat frustrated with the discontinuation of the Warcry chaos factions I hadn’t picked up yet (Splintered Fang), but that is also a lot of flesh work. I did pick up the creeptastic Tarantulos Brood; they’re unsettling AF.
The community is divided as ever. I suppose I’d be more irritated at having 3 Warcry factions I can no longer play if I cared about tourney play. Or if I had choosen the squads for their warscolls and not because they looked like the most fun to paint. Its not like GW is at the door trying to take my Warcry books away. I’m sure we’ll all manage.
I’m curious about the upcoming Spearhead modular ruleset. Can’t deny there is a great deal of appeal to a one hour game – also good for rotation with an odd number of players. I’ve never been a fan of 3-party combat.
I’m still considering the Seraphon at some point, and the Nighthaunt Black Coach has Darby O’Gill and the Little People vibes, but I had to go with the Idoneth Deepkin. I’ve been obssesed with the leviadon for too long. I would have prefered the Isharran Soulrender to the Soulscryer, but I want the shark almost as much as I want the turtle, which is next. Oh, and the dude with the octopus. At some point I should probably review their point values and attacks, but its time to start considering colors palettes. And rejoin Juan’s Patreon; it’s been 5 months and I miss that shit.
