I started watching your channel years ago when I decided I wanted to level up my painting skill, and I haven't missed a video since. I look forward each week to your new videos. Thanks for everything, sir!
I still maintain that all the AoS channels should pick an AoS model next year and encourage everyone to vote for the same model, see if we can make a dent. :D
I did not vote this year, but I would not have voted for Tywin Lannister flanked by two jawas. Utinni!
Yeah screw it that would be better - lets have a top 10 best AOS models for us
I started my first army a few months after my son was born. He turns 8 this year and one of my goals is to start teaching him the game.
Everyone i know seems to be excited about Ghouls, Skaven and Cities going into 2024 so it looks like 4th editions leaning to an era of little scrabblers again after the big monster mashes. It would. be nice to see Mawtribes get a few more Gnoblar kits, maybe trappers and a hero to let us run a different list to underguts or gutbusters.
Morning both, looking forward to listening to this one. I'm trying to avoid the temptation of starting a new army and focus on finishing my 2k of DoK. 🐍
My new army for this year is some 6mm Byzantines - Thematic or Tagmatic I am undecided.
I'm historicals-curious, what rules set do you use for that?
@@borisdevilboon8064 I play Warmaster Ancients or Hail Caesar with them, I can provide more details if you need them :)
Can't wait to see Vince's old world paint jobs
Happy new year! Slaves to darkness is my new army. First baby is on the way so have to get all that trim painted before the due date. At least Archaon is nearly half an army on his own.
Have you tried metallic Sharpies? They can speed it up, at least for base layers. I really wish they made metallic ultra fine points.
I made the bold choice to blow up my hobby collection at the end of last year and start fresh for 2024. So sold off all the stuff I don't use anymore and nuked the pile of shame away. And I have to be honest it feels great to not have all these piles of stuff overshadowing me anymore. Last year I also did the same, failed my goal to paint up a new army because I spread myself too thin across multiple projects doing bits for each.
One thing I like the most about starting anew is now I can stop joking about buying too much and not finishing it before the next but actually just have 1 kit in the to do pile at a time from now on. I know it's not something that effects everyone but it's personally liberating for myself personally. And I'm excited going into this new year from nothing and taking on a new direction for both collecting and actual army choices. 🙂
Looking forward to seeing your collections come together fellas! 😀
Middle/Top-Left looking mighty scarce whilst bottom right has a much higher cluster of armies...
This year, my "new army", a.k.a. one of the *many* armies in my backlog that I'm choosing to focus on right now is my Disciples of Tzeentch. It was *going* to be my Lumineth, but painting the details on my first 10 Wardens broke something inside of me. So I decided in order to get away from that detail-intensive army, I'd cleanse myself by changing to a *different* detail-intensive army.
Thank you for doing this show each year. Always one of my favorites.
Vince I totally feel you about not feeling like you can take your Skaven army. when I started painting, i painted blood angels. that was only a few years a go, but even now I feel like I can't take most of those models to tournaments because they're SO MUCH UGLIER than anything else, and while I'm proud of the quality I produced at that time, I just don't feel like it represents me. While im not chasing the "best painted" award, I still want my army to represent my best work.
Went all in on FEC for Xmas, got the launch box, one dawnbringer box, one old start collecting and one old generic warcry box to help shore-up the Ghouls to 2 units. Puts me over 2k already. I'll collect the rest of the heroes over the course of the year to fill out. Going heavy on flyers with a paint scheme based on the old Gargoyles cartoon series. I'm excited !
Glad Tom has been back regularly I love the chemistry between you guys, the discussions are always interesting for me
The Lion being called the “latest” marvel movie is the best compliment/ burn I’ve heard to date! 😂❤️
My favourite show each year. Particularly appreciate when you mention a quick and efficient painting scheme for each army. My project for this year is an ironjaws, classic yellow scheme.
Thanks for video. I look forward to having WH Weekly playing in the background while I paint every week.
This year I plan on finishing painting my Seraphon and Beasts armies. I am also going to push myself and compete in Crystal Brush at NOVA.
I'm not starting a new army this year. Not because of restraint but because I started 3 last year (including a Dwarf AOS/Old world army) and need to finish them.
Hit like for the dog 😊. Great show again Vince and Tom. And you’re right, we never have a clean work area with our Golden Retriever around 😂😂
Great stuff, myself I'm holding off till new Skaven come out.
While I really like the Lion model (and Angron for that matter), AoS has absolutely killed it with models this year. I have 2 boxes of the new 'Ardboys coming in today to kickstart an army for the new year. The new Ironjawz kits are insanely good.
My army project is Cities of Sigmar - Hammerhal Aqsha for an escalation league and armies on parade. Additional hobby goal is to finish the Leviathan box. Extra bonus goal is to work towards a GD finalist pin in 2024.
I'm sorry I missed the livestream! And I just want to say that I *wish* I had half as many Grot Scuttlers as Tom does.
Ted Lasso is quite good. You should procure it via whatever means you feel reasonable.
I think the old WHFB models have a certain charm to them that will be appealing to collect. I held off on selling my Freeguild army with the release of the new Cities of Sigmar, so I've got a full Empire army ready to go.
I "cheated" and started with Skaven in late fall. Working on a random ~2400points atm.
My paint scheme is synthwave, the unifying color is purple-ish skin and some teal/turquise somewhere on them and bright green eyes/warpstone glow. Clan Pestilense is bright yellow cloth (AP SP Maize yellow over white) with purple skin. Bases are "astrogratine" painted medium grey, shaded with brown shade, dead grass tufts and green crystals randomly distributed. Metals, wood etc are just "reality".
The goal with the army is to get something that feels like rave-rats in the wastelands high on warpglow.
I bought a pair of the 2022 Verminous host boxes, a vanguard box. Built them and start painting.
I went with nh last year and found out that is not as cheap as you guys said! Most of the lists require you to get spam of a single unit either 50 harridans/blades lots of horses or having at least 2 cars
I am sure Vince’s Skaven are still better looking than my best!
The Cities refresh got me last year. Absolutely fell in love with them. Ended up getting 2000 pts for Christmas. My son wanted to start his first army too, so he got a Seraphon Vanguard box. Gonna work our way to 2000 pts painted throughout 2024.
I hit like for Tom's new dog!
Good morning 😊
Great show once again and nice to have the two of you chewing the fat like the old days 😉
My plans this year….expanding on my iron jaws, tinkering with chaos warriors.
And also a lot of non GW stuff but in the fantasy genre like halflings for general fantasy gaming, Conan style fantasy minis and building some dungeon ‘monsters’ for some old school advanced heroquest.
I’ve been out of AoS ‘gaming’ for a while but with a new edition coming I’m going to hold off on starting anything new this year.
+1 for chaos golden dogs! I think John had a really funny story about Vince’s dogs! 🦮
Going to focus on troggoths this year, and you hit the nail on the head. I'm struggling with the base theme that'll go with the flesh tones that I want to do.
Was curious where OBR would end up. I bought 4 FEC starter boxes in 2021 due to liking the lore and multiple recommendations as my first army. Didn't love it. Hell two are still unbuilt. Thought about bailing on the game, then saw the OBR book, liked the models, and gave it a whirl. I heard it was awful for a new player 2.0, but after watching book reviews seemed like a decent choice.
It's pretty easy now. High skill ceiling due to versatility, but somewhat high floor. Basically painted them in the same scheme as my necrons. Fun to play, and carrying a 2000 point army in a shoebox is convenient. My biggest issue was finding sufficient numbers of models, because somehow GW releases new books without ramping up production of kits.
Great episode, I'm probably a little different in that I paint for the joy of painting, so often my pick will be down to 1) Do I like the models? 2) Do they allow me to challenge myself in a different way painting wise. Last year I did KO, purely to learn and get to grips with metallic paints, which I typically hate, I repainted my Ogors to try and push my techniques out further and I painted Ironjawz to try and use big broad highlights to really make colours burst, rather than gentle highlights.
Afterwards? I sold two of those armies and kept the Ogors because I love my lardy lads. People often ask why I buy, paint and sell armies and I tell them that the painting is the part I love. If I don't like the playstyle, I'll sell it on (often at a small loss, or close to RRP) so that it can go to a loving home and then think 'right, what's the next project'
I'm painting Cities to challenge myself on some of the most complicated models I've seen and have an entry to both Golden Demon and Armies on Parade? Will I keep them? No clue, I'll get a few games to see if I enjoy the playstyle and if not, then I'll happily sell them and move to the next project.
I already have too many armies that are not (completely) painted to start a new one. My goal for the year is to paint one model per week. Considering I painted one model a year for the last two years, that would be a great achievement for me.
I'm right there with you. Trying to paint a couple models a week in a huge back log.
@@Goon94 at this rate I'll finally be able to play with fully painted armies when I retire in 2062!
2:56:57 I'm working on a few years' worth of bits sorting now. This stack of sprues is almost knee deep and I need to get ready to move soon
I've been terrible about completing armies, jumping projects and changing color schemes. This past summer I started Sylvaneth with a full idea of what I wanted to paint. I was able to just paint away and completed everything I wanted until Belthanos came out. So I guess having a full vision makes it easier for me.
Liking this podcast,it is giving me ideas for the new year
This has been a great watch. I've watched you guys for years now but never played AOS, though I have played a bunch of 40k (Boo Hiss - I know). But I've finally decided to jump in and the day before yesterday I picked up the old Khorne half of the 1st edition box. So pretty happy with where they landed on the chart. This year I'd like to get 1500pts painted of frothing, screaming maniacs!
This year I'll try and finish some projects. I want to finish my 12 rockguts and the king. I also want to convert all the squig models I have left and build a new 'troggoth loonshrine'.
Last thing I'd like to do, is settle on a paint scheme for my seraphon and start with that army!
I have a lot of projects for this year. With the return of the Old World, 2 of them could go either way, AoS or ToW.
-CoS Araby (could double as HE)
-SBGL "Barrow Kings" (VC in, however they don't exist in the ToW timeline yet)
-Slaves to Darkness Eightfold Watcher themed cult.
-Specifically for ToW I would like to do a small focus on The Red Duke, as he is terrorizing around the forests until he takes over Mousillon).
So many projects and conversions I want to do, so little time, help!
My big project this year is Imperial Guard Skaven. I'm extremely excited to explore what all I can do.
Running an escalation league and starting World Eaters :D
For Tom, what if they came out with Spider grots like mutated Grots/Goblins with extra arms? Like Tarantulos Brood from Warcry, but gobbos? :P
That is essentially what the grotling scuttlers were that they explored then discontinued.
@ThomasLyons wow I googled it, and they look cool. They should be re-introduced into the setting. :O
Thanks! Very helpful.
Glad it was helpful! :)
My new army this year is last year's new army. Never managed to finish my second army, some bcr which I reasoned would be quick to paint. A year later I've painted half a FLoSH and 4 mournfang!
Fortunately my hand has been forced, I've an event in February and I learned yesterday that new FEC (my first army) would not be legal. I have no desire to run old FEC, so in the next month I will be attempting to paint the rest to at least a tabletop standard, but hopefully a standard I can be proud of.
I’m working on a classic Archeon/12 Varanguard for a team event in May!
My hobby resolution this year is to paint 12 large models. I hit my goal of painting 8000 points last year, mostly warclans and gitz, but painting large models is something I struggle with, so I hope setting that as a goal will help motivate me.
1:03:03 Do White Lab Rats Vince!
Whelp all the armies I like the look of are in the bottom right ninth, except beasts of chaos.
As for my goal this year. It is to get into AoS for the first time and finally finishing my 40K Orks. I have 1600 points of "painted" models. with which I mean flesh is done, fur is done. Armor is basically untouched. and then there still are like close to 1K unpainted despite me playing the army and liking them a lot.
So Tom's the one that's hoarding all those grot scuttlings that I want but can't find anywhere (I would totally buy them all off you!)
I’m working on khorne daemons as well as marauder (and bloodbowl Norse) heavy chaos undivided, it’s nice to switch between. Im building my chaos bridge from both sides of reality lol.
I started a Kharadron Overlords army for 2024 !
Apart from maybe Bretonnia, my main thing for this year will be actually finishing models. Im undecided if I want to buy the Bretonnia army box bcos money
Ive not really got an army I want to paint, theres a handful of individuals i want to paint like the Cavalier Marshall, Harbinger of Decay, and Saurus on raptor.
Old Worlds almost here! 😀
Great show!
This year I'm not starting, but attempting to 'finish' some armies I have. For one of them that crocdrake that VInce hates will be a good addition (I love how stupid this mini looks, great VLoZD for my army).
I also might try to branch into Big Waagh from my Ironjawz. Gotta get some wins before BW is nerfed :D but I'll try to do it as cheaply as possible, mostly for tournaments before 4th ed drops.
For 4th ed I'm getting LRL ready! Still looking for an efficient and effective color scheme. Probably I'll spray them silver, do an transparent oil wash (didn't decide on color yet, but I like idea of violet shaded silver) with bright colored robes. I don't like idea of painting all of that trim so that's why I want to do a silver armor.
Got myself the 3rd edition starter sets for Christmas so it looks like I'm starting stormcast and orruks
Well I am in a tricky situation then:
I love big Models but I hate painting them xD. Send help.
I usually switch between (already owned) armies when I don't feel like painting one army anymore. Or I take a break for a month or two.
Im starting a beasts of chaos army this new year. Circle based for AOS, but if we get some converted base movement trays then ill at least try old world
Tom arguing that you do Top 3 in the opposite order to every other human being and spoiling the winner is peak Tom.
I'm getting into slaves to darkness, going to get this army done, learn the game to a better level, and I want to get into a tournament or two. On the painting end, im still quite new, so getting better overall is my goal for this year.
Another great show.
For me this is the year of the DoK with lots of witches!
I plan on an World Eaters army in 40k this new Year.
Is there a version of this show that ranks assembly and paint effort too? I enjoy that angle. Thanks for great consistent shows over the years... it's meaningful to people and something to hang onto.
Yep, we did a version all about ranking them on painting as well a little while ago.
I’m was able to pick up an IDK and stormcast army for just crazy cheap. Not sure which I want to focus on since I have never played AOS I just liked the models. It’s all built so I should just try to play some games first. I also started painting the starblood stalkers for use in a warcry list and really enjoy painting them so I’m tempted to trade the other stuff for seraphon 😂. Going to do 800 pts of rebels for sw legion too.
I would jump on a bug themed destruction army or if KO got a melee focused expansion.
I will probably fill out my warcry sacrosanct warband into a 1000/1500pts.
Nice podcast
Glad you enjoyed it!
Big hobby goal is to focus on an army and learn them and actually win a game for once. FEC is gonna be my 4th army but imma force myself to learn them, get good-ish, and build it up before moving to another army. I have made many mistakes in "compromising" what i enjoy about the game and need to find something i wholey enjoy. Also maybe ill paint like a model a month, but lets not get to crazy...
I have started the Dreadwood Sylvaneth
Looking on the bright side Tom how does concrete dust look as a basing material? 😂
I've spent the last 1-2 years downsizing. Went from 12 AoS armies to 6 and considering another cut. Starting a new army is a fun thing to do but physical space and how often I get to play is a big factor for me. 12 armies meant I went a couple years with some of them never seeing play. :(
I wish the faction breakdowns had time stamps in the comments 😂
I find StD pretty good when I play against them, but then again me and my friend (only really play AoS with him atm) don't use battle tactics or GHB rules, which I assume makes a massive difference to army viability.
Great show as always! Do you that have that link to Caleb's stuff on Etsy?
Doggo!
I am about to start a Sylvaneth army
Mantic Games sells a really nice giant for about 50 bucks. Height is just right too.
Do you think you could elevate your current speed painted armies to competition-level by just adding detail to them?
It would be tough, it's possible, but it would take a lot of work. THe delta is large.
Nice to hear Tom's dismissive "it's fine."
New army: I would love to see a Dwarf army . I love the new dwarf models released for lotr.
Right now i'm on the no new army side. I know it won't last all year, but right now nothing grabs me. I will be expanding a few ranges thought and i might start a new game with Conquest.
New armies i couldn't say if any of those suggested i would start ( the new dark elves, goblin pirates, dark dwarves or whatever else was mentioned). A lot depends on model look and a possible theme i would want to play. My general rule is to only start new army with an updated book. Best chance to get new models and to see if any old ideas are still feasible. I would consider Hedonites with a new book if they made them less NPE. SBG again with a bit less NPE on summoning and maybe with a new Graveguard and black knight kit. I would consider DOK if we got more snake ladies. I was hoping for a dual kit of a more armored one with shield and scimitar with other option for a dual hand weapon type build. That way you can have snake ladies being anvil, blender, stronger hit/dmg, and ranged. Not sure if that would fit the whole DOK aesthetic, but that is what i want to see.
Playstyle is pretty important. I tried Kharadron and just couldn't get behind the army. If i wanted to just shoot everyone off the table i'd play 40k. However i will say there are times having a change of pace can be very fun. I tend to prefer the more slower forces that can take a hit and keep on going. Mortal Maggotkin with plenty of blightkings is one of my favorite. However i also really enjoy my all squig Gitz. Very fast with moon and can hit decently hard. Can die quickly and morale phase really hurts.
For now i just need to work on existing projects and try to get them done. One issue i'm having is the scheme for my Space marines. Not sure if it was the same with Tom's Khorne, but i'm having issues finding the right color on a 2 color scheme. I'd rather not settle for a mix as i'd rather stick for a out of the pot color. If i give up on this scheme i probably will not put them on the shelf though.
I’m brand new to Warhammer and AoS. I am a long time D&D player (DM). I just signed up for AoS Stormbringer by Hachette. I get four issues once a month which includes info pages, models, paints etc. I like the Stormcast and the Orruks I have been receiving. I guess I will build these two armies to start with. Any advice?
At this point, since 4.0 comes out soon (this summer), just getting models together and painted is the right idea. Just getting your painting knowledge and practice in is going to be of huge value as you decide what army you ultiamtely want to focus on fully and having some amounts of those two forces painted not only helps you grow as a painter, but also sets you up with a potential army (SCE is never a bad army to have in the pocket).
Goals this year: build and paint up some Idoneth, OBR, Ironjawz, and StD models. Then, actually play a game, whether on TTS or in person. The last goal is to learn how to base better, using resin for water and posing for the miniatures. Things that would make me drop on a new army or newer models would be: a new Monster for Idoneth Deepkin, a flying model for OBR, a Fyreslayers new Monster or Cavalry, or new Khorne models.
Im incapable of starting an army for any reason besides what models i want to paint. Bc i kniw I'm going to spend more time painting than anything else. And I've been playing WH for years and still have no idea what my preferred playstyle is supposed to be.
They seem to be adopting the same book strategy for TOW that they have for their other two pseudo historical narrative games - HH and Lord of the Rings. Both have the "Good Army Book" and "Evil Army Book" system.
Sold my Tk army the other day . Not really in the mind set to buy the old models again. Sold them thinking they would bring new range in
👍👍
My 2024 goals are to finish my Soulblight army (Nagash will be the last piece), complete my Flesh-Eater army with the newest kits, paint my Beasts of Chaos army (assembled in 2019 and never painted a single model) and start a Tomb Kings army... Looking at it seems much more than is humanly achievable in a single year, but hey, you aim to less, you obtain less...
Sweep the board for a second release of Kruleboyz models!
like AoS biggest quality over 40k is the model quality of the big piece and they are shadowed by people voting for their faction ^^
I liked for Tom's new dog
It’s hard for me because I’m trying to rebuild my collection but the game has changed a lot from 2015-2020.
Hobby goals for 2022:
1. Create a coalesced Seraphon army that proves Coalesced CAN win.
2. Appear as a co-host (or at least a 5-minute guest) on Warhammer Weekly.
I’m exited about Malekith..I refuse to use that name..whatever it is. If I can get some type of DE on the table I’d actually play AoS.
Vince help. I picked slaneesh as this year's army, I wanna paint them as e-girl cow girl thirst traps (girls dressed as cows not ted lasso type). How hard do you think cow print is to paint for a bad painter? For context I've only painted ogors before this
That's a very specific paint scheme, it's not incredibly impossible, it will be challenging to sell, but it's possible. I have a few videos on animal patterns, so check those out.
@@VinceVenturella yeah am worried it won't exactly show the way I'm picturing it but I'll give those a watch and try a model or two and let you know! Thank you!
I want to put together and paint a StD army.
