I absolutely love the Kruleboyz-Probably my favourite faction in the game. The miniature range is excellent. I understand the animosity (hur hur) some people have towards them as they are a big departure from all other GW orcs but I really like them. Great theme (sneaky swamp ladz), great models and amazing monsters. I just wish their rules were good. Fingers crossed for 4th ed :)
I started with the Dominion box, I think the Kruleboyz are amazing fun miniatures. I am kinda glad they do not look like the average Orruk but are their own thing. I do think the Skaventide box looks brilliant though.
I like the Kruleboyz. Not a huge fan of their little stumpy legs, but I do like them generally (I also like the regular Orruks). Kruleboyz are fun to paint too. I hope we see more new stuff for them soon.
I think the Kruleboyz have some tremendous models when viewed as a range by themselves. I’ve just never been all that convinced that they belong in the same faction as the others, with the more established Warhammer orc aesthetic.
Several nice ones. Kruleboyz and Nighthaunts very thematic and intersting new models. I guess Khorne , Sigmarites and Skaven are more "useful" long term though
Each to their own I suppose. I never liked TOW orks. But Ironjawz etc. I much prefer to Krewlboyz. I like their swamp themed monstrous creatures though.
Ironjawz are just the old Black Orcs painted yellow, surely. Actually, I’m good with both styles, but if I had to pick one for a general fantasy setting it would be Krewlboyz. For The Old World, I’d stick with the old style boyz.
@@earnestwanderer2471 nooo I ironjawz are far chunkier/larger in size. The armour look is similar. The old world orc heads always looked more cartoony as you say too.
Dominion is probably my favorite cause it's both the first Age of Sigmar purchase I ever had, was clearance at 100 USD, made me a Stormcast fan and my gf loves the Krule Boys. Skaventide might end up taking the top spot once it comes out tho
If Dominion had either the Orcs or Goblins we were used to then a must buy. But no matter how deep the clearance on it gets I just can't pick it up because I have zero desire to build or paint the Kruleboyz. Glad they didn't reinvent the Skaven and went for the rats we love.
I think Soul Wars wins for me because my favourite faction is Nighthaunt, and I liked the Sacrosanct magic ghost hunters. But objectively it was a terrible box with all the annoying non-legal unit sizes. I am very glad they stopped doing that. As for the Kruleboyz, they are also a favourite of mine, but it took some time. I wasn't particularly hyped when they were announced, but when you hold them in your hands and paint them, you realise that they've got a lot of cool, fun details. I am not sure you can say that Dominion didn't sell well, since we don't know how many they printed. If they printed as many as the 40K boxes that was obviously a mistake, because that game has thrice the fanbase - but Dominion might have sold well for AoS. The problem with Dominion and AoS 3rd is that Destruction really doesn't make for very compelling main antagonists. They are the quintessential side character factions. And the lore in 3rd has indeed been a snore fest for the past three years. Easily the most boring story out of all the editions, if you ask me. It is such a breath of fresh air to see the Skaven with an actual evil plan, and DOING real stuff.
Skaven for the win. And all you have to do is look how many are still around and haven’t been sold for Dominion. It’s know they screwed up and made to many, they expected to sell far more than they did.
For me dominion goes first, I love the kruleboyz as their models look amazing and not cartoonish which always felt a bit out of place, but the stormcast part also is just amazing in that box Second would be skaventide, I just prefer orks over skaven and some of the stormcast look less good, also the box is a bit to much stuff if peeps aren't interested in spearhead (but I am excited ^^) 3rd be ghost box, nighthaunt looks cool but sigmarines are okay And the first edition box doesn't appeal to me, I love khorne but the khorne humies look boring and the stormcast look pretty bad
The main problem with all the boxes are that they contain any Stormcast, hate all the models! Love the Skaven they win just for being rats yes-yes, also like the Kruelboyz. Swamp orcs and the Marshcrawler Sloggeth is just such a great model (rules ruined by Gitz). So Skaventide (1), Dominion (2) and Night Haunt (3), no interest in Korne!
4) 1st Ed; 3) Soulwars; 2) Dominion; 1) Skaventide. GW got much better with sculps over the years. Even Nighthaunt being my main army i must give it to better minis. I do like Kruleboyz, but my problem with them is calling it Orruks, which they arent. Also pls split Orruks already. Tnx.
For me, Skaventide wins because it’s two games in one box. If we take away the Spearhead components, Dominion wins for me. As far as the Skaven go, everything is great except that Gnawbeast. Don’t like the head at all, it looks more like an undead themed model than Skaven. Also, not super hyped for a rat riding a giant rat. Don’t hate the concept, but also don’t love it. Someone suggested a giant sewer crocodile and that sounds fun.

Yeh I can see why some would like them, just not for us clearly 😂 yes yes bring on 4th! 😆
I started with the Dominion box, I think the Kruleboyz are amazing fun miniatures. I am kinda glad they do not look like the average Orruk but are their own thing. I do think the Skaventide box looks brilliant though.
Yeh it’s swayed me into getting Skaven now 😂
I like the Kruleboyz. Not a huge fan of their little stumpy legs, but I do like them generally (I also like the regular Orruks). Kruleboyz are fun to paint too. I hope we see more new stuff for them soon.
Yes along with many other AOS factions we need to see fleshed out!
I think the Kruleboyz have some tremendous models when viewed as a range by themselves. I’ve just never been all that convinced that they belong in the same faction as the others, with the more established Warhammer orc aesthetic.
That’s true actually they feel out of place.
I love the kruleboyz
Hey, nice to see Glass.
Several nice ones. Kruleboyz and Nighthaunts very thematic and intersting new models. I guess Khorne , Sigmarites and Skaven are more "useful" long term though
Yeh for sure. Can’t wait for Skaven now.
Krewlboyz just get no respect. They look more like fantasy Orcs than the more cartoony standard GW Orcs.
Each to their own I suppose. I never liked TOW orks. But Ironjawz etc. I much prefer to Krewlboyz. I like their swamp themed monstrous creatures though.
Ironjawz are just the old Black Orcs painted yellow, surely. Actually, I’m good with both styles, but if I had to pick one for a general fantasy setting it would be Krewlboyz. For The Old World, I’d stick with the old style boyz.

Yeh Skaventide is looking pretty amazing!

Yeh I have to agree. And I’ve seen some quite heavily discounted Dominion boxes. Even local to me there are still a few.
I think Soul Wars wins for me because my favourite faction is Nighthaunt, and I liked the Sacrosanct magic ghost hunters. But objectively it was a terrible box with all the annoying non-legal unit sizes. I am very glad they stopped doing that.

For me dominion goes first, I love the kruleboyz as their models look amazing and not cartoonish which always felt a bit out of place, but the stormcast part also is just amazing in that box
Second would be skaventide, I just prefer orks over skaven and some of the stormcast look less good, also the box is a bit to much stuff if peeps aren't interested in spearhead (but I am excited ^^)
3rd be ghost box, nighthaunt looks cool but sigmarines are okay
And the first edition box doesn't appeal to me, I love khorne but the khorne humies look boring and the stormcast look pretty bad
Most people do far seem to favour Dominion or Skaventide as a favourite!
The first one was the best one because from a discount retailer it only cost me 60 quid lol
Haha that is also true 😂
Hurt a bit with the "purge" Sacrosant Camber
It really did 😢
I love kruleboyz. They look very inhuman and different from the classic gw orcs.
Glad you like them. 👍🏻
The main problem with all the boxes are that they contain any Stormcast, hate all the models! Love the Skaven they win just for being rats yes-yes, also like the Kruelboyz. Swamp orcs and the Marshcrawler Sloggeth is just such a great model (rules ruined by Gitz). So Skaventide (1), Dominion (2) and Night Haunt (3), no interest in Korne!
Speaking my language I’d prefer two different factions each time.
4) 1st Ed; 3) Soulwars; 2) Dominion; 1) Skaventide.
GW got much better with sculps over the years. Even Nighthaunt being my main army i must give it to better minis.
I do like Kruleboyz, but my problem with them is calling it Orruks, which they arent. Also pls split Orruks already. Tnx.
Yeh I know hoping they’ll split again soon.
For me, Skaventide wins because it’s two games in one box. If we take away the Spearhead components, Dominion wins for me. As far as the Skaven go, everything is great except that Gnawbeast. Don’t like the head at all, it looks more like an undead themed model than Skaven. Also, not super hyped for a rat riding a giant rat. Don’t hate the concept, but also don’t love it. Someone suggested a giant sewer crocodile and that sounds fun.
I like the monstrous creatures for Krewlboyz. But yes that’s exactly what I thought with the Gnawbeast, looks undead.
Soul wars had the annoying thing of having 5 glaive wraith stalkers and 4 grimghast reapers! Annoying!
Oh yeah I forgot about that it was so weird.
