After i saw this video, i had to leave a sub :D

[@BezKajdan]

Actually you got one. Hard to find AoS discussion. Everyone is salty and can't move on from WHFB.

[@YOUROXJACK]

You just got one!

[@mangohub3252]

Personally I really think thigh goddess on big bug friend should be an S tier

[@HeyWoah]

Fair

[@SamFisherUK]

Honestly both parts are amazing but I hate them together... I feel like she needs to be smaller or just separate models.

[@yaboiminya7920]

Mango Hub same here, was looking between AoS and 40k. Then I saw alarielle.

[@aionkat]

I agree 100%.

[@Bruno-no9ko]

naaah bug S, but she doesn't fit in with bug xD jk

[@meadbringer]

I will say that if they use the Total Warhammer models for a lot of their tabletop models like black dragon, Croxigors etc I think a lot of the models would be bumped up to like A+

[@DarthDookieMan]

I know what I'm about to say is redundant considering what you said, but man do the models in the games look so good.

[@HeyWoah]

Models that should have gotten an update already look better in TW, and new sculpts look better than TW, so really it's just about updating models.

[@meadbringer]

@@HeyWoah I had high hope that the gargants release will bring new models for aleguzzlers but I guess mancrushers and aleguzzlers are the same

[@etrigan8544]

I would love to see more tiers like this covering Cavalry, battlelines, flyers and to see where my bullgors with their every day is leg day ham legs place...

[@dyer4677]

I adore crotch man on Harvester, and it may be the goofy Gloomspite player in me but I just think it's funny and kinda in character for Nagash to have such blatant disrespect for the dead to turn your remains into into said crotch goblin, disrespects his enemies by the indignity of being killed by something with a crotch goblin, and ya it also picks up bones and stuff I suppose.

[@HeyWoah]

Super weird details like that are what can endear viewers to models most find too strange. I much prefer them always trying for stuff like that instead of become boring with safe choices.

[@Malisteen]

@@HeyWoah there's a sort of 80's era cartoon toyetic goofiness to the obr. It's there to a degree in most of the line, what with the grinning face plates, but it's most present in the soulmason's walking chair & harvester's crotch goblin & rows of little arms passing bones that the goblin grabs up to the basket of bones, or trying to grab bones back from the crows stealing them. The boney hand refusing a sigmarite helmet that another is trying to pass up is a great touch too. All in all a fun & funny model that I absolutely adore, but I can understand where more serious-minded gamers hate it.

[@HeyWoah]

@@Malisteen People forget that just about everything in warhammer is loosely based on 80s cartoons

[@Malisteen]

@@HeyWoah There was a long period when GW seemed to be actively trying to strip out all the goofiness & humor from thei games, like they were trying to spare the overly fragile sensibilities of adolescent war gamers afraid to admit to themselves that they're just playing with toys. Thankfully GW's been a bit more willing to embrace their goofier roots lately. Though admittedly the helmets on the cowhammer elves are a bit much even for me. :p

[@bextings7479]

I absolutely despise it, in everyway possible & I want one...

[@docterfantazmo]

My only hard disagree is that I think Trogboss should be S tier, I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but I think they nailed the aesthetics so perfectly that it makes me smile whenever I see it.

[@magisterapophis8714]

The Troll creatures aesthetic is genuinely lovely. Like I saw them and immediately was filled with joy. Incredible. If I could build a army of them like Sons of Behemat I’d drop everything to do so

[@hunterwartabeager6380]

I think the funniest part of the video was the continual dumping on all the Stormcast and Khorne models, the arguable poster children for the game

[@HeyWoah]

For the first few years they certainly were. I like it better now.

[@antigrav6004]

It's fair tho

[@josephskiles]

If loving my beautiful Trogg princess is wrong I don't want to be right

[@coneman850]

The great unclean one should of been higher cause it’s great

[@gudboah4688]

It’s a glorious representation of a child of grandfather Nurgle :)

[@squalace_]

Personally, I would've designed Teclis to be standing on the ruin, with the sphinx as a spirit surging over his shoulder, modeled similar to what they did with Nighthaunt or the Eidolon cloaks. He's so obscure in his own model that I've accidentally called the model Celennar more than once. Archaon should've been posed more like Gordrakk; have the mount on all-fours, with him being more of the focus. Harvester will always be S tier to me; the codpiece skeleton works because it's there to collect bones so the hands are free to be maceheads.

[@paytonburrows2325]

“How much you love something can be independent of its quality.” That basically summed up how I feel about the Aleguzzler Gargant. Yeah it looks stupid as all get out, but I still have a soft spot for it.

[@jacobsmith8286]

Maw crusher is B tier for the same reason you put the troggoth, it has a unique style that it nails perfectly. It's supposed to look like a big dumb fist kind like an alligator turtle with armored wings.

[@Malisteen]

Disagree on terrorgheist rating. The layered ribs & tattered flesh, gaping maw, huge wings? it all stands up as still solidly good. I would put it next to the turtle and call it better. Pain to paint, tho,

[@haydengibbons5000]

yeah, it's also half the price of the turtle

[@Verdict1898]

Agree 100%

[@HeyWoah]

I think VLOZD and GKORTG both could've comfortably sat in Good Tier if I spent more time debilitating at the end, since that's where terrorgeist started initially.

[@kosachilles2504]

Man love this video and loved how you swapped over to gw to show the full model and not just use the little photos. Made is enjoyable to watch Maybe you should do a whole Age of Sigmar faction review 😉 thanks heaps for the video man!

[@Landmassorussia]

Honestly, GKORTG is what got me into AOS. I love the whole look of FEC, the animalistic look and splattering of blood, looking a complete perversion of whatever it may have been before.

[@danielkeller3780]

pretty solid, although you hit me deep with that Archaon placement my man. He's just top of S tier for me. Bias? Maybe.

[@OrionTheAussie]

Personal opinion more then bias. Like I prefer hell pit abominations over Archeon

[@HeyWoah]

I've never seen this miniature

[@DeJeyJey]

I was really down on Teclis at first, but since we got the 3D-View he's just excellent in my opinion. His pose is so much less awkward than what it first looked like imo.

[@HeyWoah]

I've seen some excellent reposes as well

[@antigrav6004]

Sphinx on its own would be great, but i can't stand it as is

[@fodtimusprime5162]

Honestly i think that Zandtos makes a great centerpiece, and that if hes too small to be a centerpiece then olynder should get the same treatment

[@HeyWoah]

Yeah that's why I gave him a quick little critique. Probably B+ excellent.

[@scottlatta5180]

One of the things that bugs me about the bloodthirster was also how small he ended up being next to the other greater daemons..

[@bajscast]

Bloodthirster suffered bad from being the first plastic greater daemon. It's like they weren't sure how to scale it, then later on they got bigger because, I mean, they're called greater daemons for a reason. It's especially egregious when you look at the art of Shalaxi Helbane fighting a bloodthirster, and she's straddling his chest while being much shorter, then in the actual models shalaxi is almost twice his height!

As far as tanks go you’re looking for Kataphron Breachers, Dunecrawlers and Kastellan robots play those roles. Also the Skorpius. Go check out the Adeptus mechanicus range on GW. That’s exactly what you’re describing and they’re really good right now as a plus if you wanted to get into 40k

Hot(?) take: think Drycha is a way better model than Alarielle, I was super into Sylvaneth because of the tree dreadknight that actually looked cool.

[@allconsuminghat-]

Woah a lot of hard disagrees from me. Always fun going through them though.

[@Archon...]

Would be interesting to see you rating the centerpieces from the 40k and Middle Earth model ranges too.

[@HeyWoah]

With those I would have no frame of reference (or very little) about what the thing was 'supposed' to be, so there would be a lot lost in translation. However the memes would be spicy because of that fact.

With a little work, the Aventis Firestrike model looks amazing. Aka; take the rider and the mount's face off haha.

[@shadowedsteps9115]

Cock man is the Harvester, and the fact they have a stormcast head and Gitz head in the dump trunk is cool detail but definitely could have been better

[@alexwerges3766]

I agree on the aleguzzler gargants. I got excited for Sons of Behemat and pulled out the two-pack of aleguzzlers I have and suddenly realized why I shelved them to begin with. The new giants looks sweet though. I don't think I could stomache hobbying the old gargants. All the old big models skipped leg day.

[@emanueleragazzi341]

Archaon is the best looking model in AoS, you can't change my mind

[@cyriltournier5784]

Sadly the three heads are just tacked on. That's my main point of contention, they simply do not seem to belong (which may follow the fluff but still looks bad).

[@H240909]

His mount is the best model in AoS. Archaon’s just kinda... there.

[@HeyWoah]

This video is meant to show people all the sculpts who might not know, but also to inspire people with stuff I didn't rate highly to be like 'I'll show you!' when they paint.

[@emanueleragazzi341]

@@HeyWoah I know, I know. My comment is meant to be taken as a joke between friends. I loved the video, I just disagree with the Archaon tiering because I genuinely think it's the best model in the game

No Hellpit Abomination? To me, it's one of the most impressive sculpts they ever made ... it would be a reason to pull me into skaven, it's just a shame that all battleline options suck balls

[@Malisteen]

At the very least warranted a rating, as it's very much a centerpiece model.

[@HeyWoah]

Now this guy I forgot about in my image collection stage, he belonged. It's satisfyingly horrifying, I like the tech meets franken, and the rat-king reference is not lost to me.

Surprised you didn't point out how ronin the Horticulous Slimux looks with that casual pose, pipe, and blade over his shoulder. Looks like how a Rurouni Kenshin villain would first appear lol

[@docbp87]

Dude the old world Archaon models (the mounted one, and the Games Day one on foot) are 100% better than the current giant derpy looking mount IMO. Put him back on Dorghar the demonic horse, but make it a fluid moving flying trailing fire type deal or something.

[@9forMortalMen]

Can we get this for Battleline, especially chaff? Ex. Bloodletters vs Saurus warriors vs Stormvermin vs Gluttons... Its just that while centerpieces are cool and all, you also spend way more time handling the chaff with many armies. I love my Seraphon dinos, but the Saurus Warriors make me feel a bit sad.

[@Malisteen]

It could make for a good tier list, but ratings would be difficult since you'd have to prioritize different aspects of different units. Like, a horde unit needs to be simple w minimal details, while a small elite unit wants to have tons of detail. The characteristics that make one unit great can make another unworkable. Price is also a much bigger factor with battleline units. With a centerpiece model, you'll likely only be getting one, so even if it's lousy overpriced you'll generally be able to absorb it, but for battleline, especially in a hoard army? Like, I think chainrasps look great, but the price point is so terrible on a core battleline horde that not only does it completely kill the models for me, it kills the /entire faction/.

[@paulgreinke2586]

Listening to this one week later when there's an army that requires you to buy 9 of the worst models in the game at an increased price.

[@zeromaster1997]

Which one?

As a fan from the 90s, it's amazing how much the miniatures have improved. Keeper of Secrets 37:00 😮

[@GumshoeClassic]

That jab against the Maggoth Riders really hurt, but yeah.... Bilespurter looks weird due to the way they modelled the vomit. There's artwork of all three riders where the bile is just pouring out of its mouth, that would've looked way better in my opinion (and would also sell the thing about it constantly dripping stomach fluids way better than the current model).

[@necrarian]
