Ooo, that’s a good speech fragment. I should read more Tacitus. I should read more in general, lol.

It kind of reminds me of the opening to the Horus Heresy novel, Tallarn, where they see the ruined battlefield with thousands of tank wrecks, and the general goes “What am I looking at?”, to which a White Scar says “That is victory.”

On the Old World coming back, I’ve got two wishes that probably won’t be fulfilled:

1. I want the Old World minis to have unit rules in AoS. Tomb Kings and Bretonnians are just both so aesthetically pleasing to me, and I’d like them to be units for Order and Death. Yeah, I can use them as proxies, but still.
2. I would like it if they made WFB/Old World rules for AoS units and factions. I’d kind of like to play big army formations and sieges set in AoS. I’m not sure if anyone’s bothered making WFB rules for blocks of AoS units yet or not.

Awesome, I love it. I have a whole lore for a city called Dunehaven. Whenever I get around to buying/painting/posting the minis for CoS, I’ll go into more detail about it.

Thanks again for the answers. They helped a lot!

Ah, thank you so much! Cool, so I’m not limited to a single chamber or how they died. My Stormcast are desert-themed, so maybe I’ll just say they all come from deserts. Lions of Valor? Idk, I’ll figure it out. Thanks again, I was worried no one would answer this.

I don’t suppose you know the fluff “rules” for Cities of Sigmar? I have a whole city planned called Dunehaven that’s tied to my Stormcast, but I’m not sure if there being an original city in the Mortal Realms is a thing or not. I haven’t bought any of the army books, so idk what the lore-friendly rules for making original stuff is yet, lol.

The metal ones are new. The molds are retro. Iron Winds Miniatures, I think, is the company.

To be completely honest, I just divided up some 'Mechs from my collection to each of the Great Houses based on what I had vs. the lists for each House’s 'Mechs on Sarna. I don’t know enough about the intricate listbuilding rules to design good lists 😭

I still have some 'Mechs left to divvy up. After I finish the Kurita and Davion lances, I wasn’t sure how I wanted to approach it. Either do lances for minor powers (Rasalhague, St. Ives, Taurians, Canopus, etc.), lances for different Great House units (Warrior House Imarra, maybe), or just bulk up these 5 units so they can field a good blend of 'Mechs. If you have suggestions for 'Mechs you think my posted lances could benefit from, I’d appreciate your help 😁

I also have a bunch of retro metal minis I was going to paint in more generic color schemes to be used as nondescript or mercenary units. Filler.

Army Painter brand Crystal Blue and Matt White. Gunmetal for the metallic bits. Wolf Grey with a dry brush of Matt White for the canopies. I used varying colors for the barrel interiors based on the stock loadout for each variant. Then some Nuln Oil (by Citadel) for the ink wash, watered down more for the white portion than the cyan.

Well, this isn’t the Scout Lance 😏

I mean, I left Reddit over Sigmarxism becoming increasingly liberal and hostile to “tankies”, so I wouldn’t call myself brave, lol. It was the last sub I could enjoy my hobbies and be a commie in, and they ruined it, going from an increase in Black Army/Makhno worship, to actively dehumanizing and demonizing “Stalinists”. “Don’t punch left” my ass.

Glad to see the community is alive here, though.

I made a similar observation about Chaos before on Reddit’s Sigmarxism. As I recall, it wasn’t appreciated.
