What are people's thoughts on Realm Gates? I must admit I'm not a /massive fan/ of the AoS models, things like terrain however I quite like! I just can't bring myself to like the new woodelf hybrids or the new slayers.. idk, call me a purist but ☹️ Terrain though! I am really digging it Attachments:

I love the kurnoth hunter models, possibly the best thing they've ever produced (I use them as treekin). Of the new terrain the only one I could see me getting is the magethrone and even then, that would be for use in d&d or in a dungeon crawler rather than in 8th but I'm also a bit of a traditionalist in that I like the rural countryside battlegrounds. Probably a throwback to some of the great perry twin dioramas.

I am painting terrain for Da Boyz a lot of it is late 8th Ed stuff. Next to my older Warhammer terrain it’s pretty darn wild and crazy. I think I like the AoS stuff more as being relatively less crazy but more high fantasy. That being said just was reading this very nice thread from fans on the AoS design philosophy just conjuncture but I thought made for very good reading. www.tga.community/forums/topic/12264-the-future-and-past-of-the-aos-aesthetic/ |

There are a few AoS models that I'm liking (like the Gore-gruntas, or the Ophidian Archway) but the vast majority of it doesn't attract me at all. It's too over-the-top. The Dwarfs (Slayers and Overlords) just don't fit the existing Dwarf aesthetic at all. The Kurinoth Hunters neither attract me nor upset me. If I didn't already have 9 Treekin, then I might be tempted just because they look like the new(er) Treeman/Ancient model. I like the Realmgate models just because I think they could work as Sorcerer Portals.

I'm not a fan of the vast majority of the new models. They're just too large. It's like they're moving to a scale where everything, including humans are the size of an ogre/troll.
The terrain is nice though. I really want a few of those Chaos Strongholds because I need Siege games in my life and I'm primarily a Chaos player.

I like a lot of the AOS terrain. The realmgates and Orphidian archway are nice.
