The LAF Games Workshop Discussion Thread

Just like real life battles that are always equally balanced then despite relative country sizes?

[TWD]

Monstrosities from the dark, swirling maelstrom known as the warp who form themselves into organised forces that conveniently balance against their foes. Forgive my cynicism but I've never been convinced by the idea of only-daemon forces.

It's almost as if it's all made up or something.

All I'm saying is that the idea of regiments with musicians and standards tends to go against the grain of the fluff, artwork etc. I am aware that we are discussing fantasy and not historicals.

Angelic/demonic choirs are strongly hinted in real world fluff..

Have we seen these already?

New Ad-Mech tank kit, can be assembled as a floating LDV!

I actually really like it...

I hadn't seen it so thanks for sharing. I really like that too.

Renders look really bad (as most of them do)
but painted specimen (ess /) is wonderful

Without the guns I could really use that.
Thanks for drawing our attention to it.

Oh, I agree. Could be a great transportation for my Spaaace Otters/Badgers...

Latest Warcry warband:

Only two words to say, really:  FUCK YES!!!

[YPU]

more stilts? I'm detecting a theme here. I'm ok with it, but its a strange one. 

[AWu]

I like them but apart this Blanche stilt guy they are little nondescript
Crow dudes and Snakemollesters are much more to my liking.

Those heads though... they just scream Dark Mechanicus conversion potential to me (something about them reminds me of servo skulls). They are perhaps the most useful for conversion bits out of all the gangs so far.

On that note, I can't say I'm at all interested in Warcry for the game itself, but the Crows and these guys are must-haves for me for 40k warband conversions. It is a shame so many of the Warcry sculpts are barefoot though - I guess that makes sense for Chaos gladiators, but it will need some explaining (or greenstuff) for the 41st millenium.

[AWu]

Barefooted guys are my personal pet peeve in 40k..
Its 40K...
Even Romans wore sandals

I agree to conversion potential. Those guys could be straight 40k cultist, and with minor weapon swaps will be just perfect.
Heads are really good and I like those halos.

I hope that Warcry will be playable. I am looking for cool climatic fantasy skirmish (AoS  skirmishes left me cold) with more models than Underworlds

[Andrew_McGuire]

Maybe they're meant to be the Spartans or Zulus of their era, both of whom abjured footwear. Whatever the culture, however, some explanation is surely required for their perfect baby-pink soles - either they should be bleeding or leather-like and calloused.
