Age of Sigmar #10 - More Wishlists!

I overheard an interesting conversation between a few hobbyists earlier this week in my local GW. If you had unlimited funds what would you buy from new armies to completing a collection so long as you would actually see use? Naturally as I so often do I began to wishlist for several armies that I know I can't have right now but would be able to buy because of the criteria of the question. I have stuck to 1000 point armies once again as that is my favourite size of game for Age of Sigmar.

Eldritch Council

This list is pure frustration that Age of Sigmar still does not have a new Aelven faction to play, hopefully 2017 will be the year that GW updates the smaller factions or the races they have yet to feature. I always liked the aesthetic of the Swordmasters even though the rest of the old High Elf range drove me nuts! There is something quite appealing about heavily armoured Aelves swinging around a Great Sword that looks to be the same size as the user.

Recently I saw a battle report on Warhammer TV where a Verminlord Deceiver teleported across the board and began to rip apart a squad of something that I cannot recall... or the Verminlord itself was ripped apart, I can't remember. Either way the idea of ninja Skaven skulking through the mortal realms behind the lines of Sigmar's forces striking where needed to remove whats needed seems like a really cool theme for an army to me.

This is a list I have wanted to try for quite a while now, I know how great horde armies do in 1000 point games but as of now I have yet to experience playing with a very small but elite list. At only 11 models this would be quite a fun project for a week off work.

Gutbusters

This list is inspired by an army I played in 2016's Season of War, it was the only army my Nighthaunt host had a problem with killing. I don't know if it was bad luck on the day or if Ogors are really as tough as they look but its definitely something I would like to try very soon. Once again being a rather low model count I can foresee this being a fun force to put together over a week of rest.

Well that's another 4 armies that I could see myself collecting for Age of Sigmar, very soon I'll have a list for every possible faction most likely.

Age of Sigmar #7 - 7 Hours to kill... Multiple wishlists!

Last night I had the pleasure of taking the overnight National Express down to London which is a gruelling cramped 7 hours on a coach that is both too hot and freezing, it was my personal hell.

With nothing to do and not being able to sleep I decided to write up a few wishlists for a couple of armies I'm interested in playing at the moment after having a thorough read of several of the Battletomes and the Age of Sigmar app. I'm sticking to 1000 points with a small tolerance above and below as with these new Age of Sigmar points values it is actually quite difficult to hit 1000 dead on.

Spiderfang Grots

What's not to like about an army of Spiders running towards your enemy with howling Grots on their backs? Ever since The Battle for Skull Pass I loved Spider Riders and now in Age of Sigmar I can field an army just of them.

Clans Pestilens

This list started as a list I wrote for a friend and though he didn't use it too well on the table the amount of models on the board is quite impressive and I really like the look of a unified Pestilen army. I have never liked Skaven but now they are part of the Chaos allegiance there should be some rats that actually have ties to the other deities of the Chaos pantheon and that's something I can get behind.

Ironjawz

My favourite character of the previous setting was Grimgor Ironhide. In my eyes, there is nothing better in a fantasy setting then hard as nails hordes of Orcs or Orruks that have no goal other than causing a ruckus. The expansion of the Black Orc range into the Ironjawz was something I really loved and had to really resist not dropping countless pounds on during its initial release.

Devoted of Sigmar

Another part of the World the Was that I liked was the religious fanaticism of The Empire, in Age of Sigmar I really did struggle to see where The Empires models would fit in with this super high fantasy aesthetic till I saw the Golden armour clad Warrior Priests being flanked by uncountable Flagellants on their warscrolls just proved to me these models have a place in both Age of Sigmar and my growing collection of models.

The one army I'm really wanting to play is a mortal Tzeentch cultist army lead by a Gaunt Summoner. I'm hoping that the models coming from The Silver Tower get released as their own Battletome and miniature line much like most of the models from the Warhammer 40k boxed games have in recent months.

What to do on the coach back north in a few days then?
