I think they're called 'Forge Fathers'... It was probably the AoS dwarfs but I didn't see any other AoS stuff and just lumped it in with all the 40K set that were laying about (it was the release weekend of 8th ed after all). That said you could most likely use them as some sort of IG. Just find a troop type that fits go. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowley Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Well, I dug through all the minis I brought with me after the move, and aside from an already painted assassin, the only 40K mini I have with me is this Witch hunter inquisitor. So I started painting him. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't stop me from using the heck out of him ! My AoS army, as has probably already been said, are Chaos Aelves aligned with Malal - the "Host of Malal". For the Horus Heresy, the Death Guard Chapter I'm running will, in the end, side with Malal. My Dark Eldar are also working for Malal or, as he's known in 40k, Malice. If I decide to make a Chaos force for 40k, it'll be for Malice. Who am I kidding? Of course I'll make them.

Although with some converting and hopeful wishing an approximate can be made from the one GW still puts out. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to finally be able to give him some love! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd always heard that Squats died because of a dispute in which the artist, not GW themselves, claimed ownership of the IP and the models.

Dai-Mongar Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Couple of new starter sets being previewed today. First Strike seems comparable to the Storm of Sigmar set for AoS, and includes the new Primaris Reiver squad (new marine commandos). While the Know No Fear set is similar to the new AoS starter Thunder & Blood, containing stripped-down armies from the Dark Imperium box (one less squad each and only a single character). No big hardback book, but still includes the basic rules. I really like this three-tier approach to starter sets that GW is going with now. The Dark Imperium set is a bit much for me I think, but either one of these boxes is enough to whet my appetite. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGP Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Looks like there is cardboard terrain? Do both of these sets have Horrid, Squelshy, Malformed, Chaos marines? (opposed by Smurf Marines...?) If I had a ton of money** I would buy these sets and have someone paint all the regular marines bright metallic gold (like AoS Sigmarines) and I would buy all the AoS Sigmar boxes and have those painted UltraMarines Ultramarine Blue...just to see if I could make anyone's head explode. **a ton of spare money, I mean a lot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least with the First Strike set, the cardboard terrain is actually the box turned inside out, which is quite cool, and the battle mat is paper. And you're right, both sets have Squish Marines and Smurfs (though the marines don't actually have chapter iconography sculpted on). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aku-chan Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Somewhat annoyed the First Strike set contains different minis to the Dark Imperium set (must have all the Nurgle minis!). Hopefully, I can find someone selling their sprues on Ebay again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, I don't play. So I don't really want all the game bits either. I don't think they'll be too difficult to find separately, but I'm still annoyed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
