    When I got into WH in 2020 I didnt even pay attention to AoS up until a year and a half ago. It was the Sylvaneth that got me, more specifically Alarielle. One of my LGS was shutting down because the owner had to sell his shop to pay for a heart transplant. His entire stock went on sale for half-off to help pay for his surgery too. I had recently moved 2 hours away and thought I would go in good faith anyways and give him my best wishes. I didnt expect much left to be there, as half-off WH models is a hobbiest wet dream lol, but I was determined to buy anything I could to help out. Long story short that was the first time I had seen Alarielle the Everqueen and instantly fell in love with the model so much that I became a Sylvaneth fan at that very moment. Fast forward to now and that owner ended up passing away a year ago due to heart failure even with surgery. To me he'll live on through Alarielle, and in a way, thanks to him I discovered a faction and game I really enjoy. Im sure he would have been delighted to see how far my army has come since the last day I saw him. Sylvaneth will probably forever be my favorite WH army no matter how bad or good they get in the future thanks to him.

    THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!! I'm so happy to see you doing more AoS content on the channel! You can bet I'm excited for those painting challenges. I love AoS, I started during Christmas 2019 after a friend recommended it to me. Now I own 9(possibly 10) AoS armies, all of which are over 2000 points, including around 15,000 points of Stormcast.(at the time of posting this comment using current points values, of course) I love the setting, I love the lore, and I love the game. Though I'm prepping for 4th edition right now by painting more than playing at the current moment. But here's my 5 favorite AoS armies and a (hopefully) brief explanation on why I like them. This was not easy.
    1. Stormcast Eternals- This is the army that made me fall in love with AoS. Simple as that. Read the Realmgate Wars books if you want proof.
    2. Nighthaunt- Gorgeous models that paint up excellently with an airbrush, but their current rules are in a weird place, and building Hexwraiths and Spirit Hosts makes me want to become a ghost with how awkward and fiddley they are.
    3. Gloomspite Gitz- My first army, I might rate it higher if managing the Bad Moon was easier and if the Spiderfang models got a refresh, but 3, I think, is a good place for them.
    4. Lumineth Realm-Lords- Excellent lore and beautiful sculpts. But they're a bit of a pain to paint without plenty of sub-assemblies. And I hate that Teclis is an auto-include. (Disclaimer: I've only painted the Wardens a.k.a. Pikemen as of the time of posting this. So maybe the other units are easier?)
    5. Cities of Sigmar- I want to rate them higher, but I haven't played a game with them yet; and I only have 10 Steelhelms built, not even painted, I'm waiting to get a new laser printer so I can print out some unique transfer sheets for my custom City.

    @csabagyori7954 Před 4 měsíci +6

    Hell yeah to more AoS stuff!
    Picking only 5 is so hard, but in no particular order, these are my favourites:
    5. Gloomspite Gitz
    4. Daughters of Khaine
    3. Sylvaneth
    2. Flesheter Courts
    1. Soulblight Gravelords

  • @GlitchyBunny
    @GlitchyBunny Před 4 měsíci +6

    1. Sylvaneth. Love me some Bugs and love me some plants
    2. Kruleboyz. Solely for the monsters. Love the idea of them going round and collecting monsters
    3. Seraphon. Lizards on Dinos. 'nuf said
    4. All Death factions. If I can be a necromancer in a game I'm gonna
    5. Cities of Sigmar. Wasn't a fan of the fantasy models but ooooo that range refresh.
    Of course all these will be bumped down one once gw releases Silent People. Give me my giant bug people already. Even as a underwordls warband I just need them.

    • @the_kieran_show

  • @manycatman3627

    Painting Lumineth nearly broke me (and did break several Warden spears). They can look beautiful but they're not a relaxing army to paint for me. That terrain piece though *chef's kiss*

    • @the_kieran_show

      Yeah they totally don’t look relaxing to paint at all!

  • @logananderson2579

    5. Fyreslayers, reading the gotrek and Felix books was what first brought me into warhammer, and slayers always have a special place in my heart for that.
    4. Skaven, I love the idea of horde armies, even if the painting is another thing.
    3. Beasts of chaos, see above
    2. Seraphon, riding dinosaurs is the coolest thing ever
    1. Ogor mawtribes, dumb happy fat guys, my favorite models

    • @the_kieran_show
      @the_kieran_show  Před 4 měsíci

      Riding dinos is definitely the coolest thing ever

  • @SDGreymane
    @SDGreymane Před 4 měsíci +3

    This was hard, but here it is:
    5. Ironjawz: I don't know how to explain it, but there's something about them that really gets me (maybe it's because they took the concept of Grimgor and turned it into an entire army, and I think it's really cool {Grimgor is really cool}).
    4. Idoneth Deepskin: when I saw elves riding sharks and octopuses, I already liked the army, but it was when I saw the crab that I knew this would be one of the best AoS armies.
    3. Soulblight Gravelords: SG along with the slaves to darkness fit into what I consider to be "hack armies", which are armies made up of a huge variety of units; having options for all tastes within a "Halloween theme".
    2. Gloomspite Gitz: this army is simply brilliant. the variety, the theme, the characters, everything is hilarious and brilliant at the same time. One of AoS' biggest successes was creating an army for goblins.
    1. Ossiarch Bonerippers: skeletons with an Egyptian aesthetic were cool, but when they released skeletons with a Greek/Roman aesthetic, I absolutely loved it (it helps that I'm a history enthusiast of Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire); the miniature of mortarch as if it were a statue of an emperor or general is simply perfect.
    honorable mentions:
    - Stormcast eternals
    - Kharadron Overlords (they are the only faction in Aos and 40k that can make me interested in machines and vehicles)
    - Sylvaneth
    - Slaves to darkness
    - Seraphon

  • @ciaosonoAlbertoG
    @ciaosonoAlbertoG Před 4 měsíci +13

    My top 5 is:
    5. Idoneth Deepkin - Only 5th place because they have so few models and the Eels/Sharks are so static. They (along with KO) are the best example for why AOS was so needed. They're a super creative army of soulless, raider elves riding sea cratures, that summon a magical sea to go with them whenever they need to fight on land. They're absolutely gorgeous too, especially the Eidolon. Something like this could have never existed in WHFB, unfortunately.
    4. Gloomspite Gitz - Gitz are so, so cool. They've got mostly absolutely killer models, even the old doritos that are Gobbos. The Troggs are so cool, they look whimsical but also threatening enough. The Squigs look goofy but they have so much character and implied movement (the Mangler squig is the best model ever made by GW imo). Theyre just silly little guys that are actually terrifying to read/think about.
    3. Nighthaunt - they look like they came out of the old Disney Fantasia movie (the wild hunt scene). Some of the most beautiful models ever made by GW, and they're the best army to show how cruel death can be in the mortal realms. They are absolutely terrifying and thats the best thing about them.
    2. Skaven - the best WHFB faction, hands down. Maniacal, endless, cackling rat people with mutated monsters, miniguns, coca-ehem warp-powder and the coolest Greater Demon. Hell yeah.
    1. Stormcast Eternals - Yeah they're the main guys. Do I feel shame? Absolutely not. A million times cooler than space marines, literally every one was a hero with (metaphorical) balls so big Sigmar decided to make them into demigods of pure lightning. Teleport right into the heart of the action, die, explode, repeat. Also, bonus points for gender equality.

    • @the_kieran_show

      Totally right on Stormcast!

    • @s0t5iranger69
      @s0t5iranger69 Před 3 měsíci

      I also enjoy Stormcast Eternals. Skaven and Seraphon (just for the slap match that is them in Warhammer 2 because I really enjoy that dynamic), Tzeenth cause I can mess stuff up in clay sculpts and call it the work of Tzeenth, and Cities of Sigmar so I can just use whatever model I want that looks like Order and no one can complain. (I WON'T LET THEM. [Tilt head to side as I summon Tzeenth fireballs]😅. It's a joke don't take the bold letters seriously please)
      Though all of this is theoretical it is still fun to share.

    3. Flesh Eater Courts - fabulous realisation of lore through models and gameplay. And such lore.
    2. Kruleboyz - mostly just for the incredibly creepy Marshcrawla Sloggoth; but the aesthetic in general is great.

    Love your channel and your videos guys. Would absolutely be keen to see you do more painting channels in the AoS universe but I would really love to see what you could do to an army in a whole week, not 12 hours. You are both awesome creators but i feel the 12 hr challenges limit you SO much that the results dont do either of you justice. 12 Hour challenges for single models would be awesome, but for whole boxes it is just overdone now on YT. I miss seeing a focus on quality and not speed. One week for a box is still really damn quick and I bet you would do so, so well. Keep it up legends!

      Thanks so much for the support! Certainly an interesting point, I think the format in which we do it is slightly different given the wheel of misfortune element but totally get your point! After WOM3 we'll be doing Hero Hammer which utilises the WOM but means that we dedicate an entire day to 1 mini (regardless of size). There's space for much more of a creative flex that way 😁

    As someone looking to start AOS, the choice of faction is difficult due to the sheer amount of quality minis. Coming from 40K where you have Valrak and Auspex pumping out some brilliant content, i do feel you lads could hit the AOS scene hard. We need more AOS rumours/leaks
    My top 5.
    5. Soulblight - they would be higher if there were more vampire units like the blood knights and the crimson court. More vampire warriors in red armour please GW.
    4. Serephon - a great range refresh. Hopefully this and COS sets the bar for future AOS updates.
    3. Ogor Mawtribes - starving for an refresh but after seeing what they can do with the Tyrant and Hunter, these could possibly be higher.
    2. Sylvaneth - Belthanos and Alarielle are both unbelievable models as well as the 'Ent' like models. I'm unsure of the tree spirits. If the spirits were elves, i think these would be top.
    1. LRL - absolutely beautiful models but I know i couldn't do them justice with a paint job.
    My single favourite model may even be the new Beastlord. RIP beasts of chaos

    #2 Gloomspite Gitz - Because I love cream of mushroom soup
    #1 Skaven - To rob the man-things of their cheese, yes yes!

    1. Seraphon, just love their whole thing
    2. Orruk Warclans, ironjawz and kruleboyz amazing and the bonesplitterz have held up pretty well.
    3. Skaven, need a refresh but they're just great and the new models look great.
    4. Stormcast, the concept speaks to me.
    5. Kharadron Overlords, the steampunk hits so well.
    Would probably only get seraphon and warclans but tbh most AoS armies are great.
    And more Age of Sigmar content would be amazing.

    If you look past the memes said of Idoneth Deepkin, they should be a strong contender for top 5 (Ok I was painting Namarti Reavers when I saw your video pop up, so yeah I'm bias). When done right, they should resemble every nightmare that people have of the deep sea in real life. GW have huge ceiling space to draw inspiration from to bring more to the faction in due time. I went from distant laughing at them, to being really into them and making them my first AoS army. Of course there is hilarity in riding floating sharks (Sharknado anyone?) and electic eels into battle, but it should give horror show, drukari-esque, "dont even think about going near the ocean" vibes.

The last old ones, that hid for millions of years are finally coming back, with Lizardmen and Slann servants. To rid the Galaxy of Chaos and retake control.

    this top 5 will be tricky to make xD, i joined aos start of 3rd ed but only really started playing last summer. but still that launch has pretty much set my fav faction atm otherwise i would have started with nighthaunt but here is my top 5 ^^ top 2 was easy but the other 3 are hard xD
    1: kruleboyz, they are orks i just fell in love with. they are sneaky, brutal, have the coolest shields and monsters and i prefer their headshapes ^^ they sold me and i decided to wait with dominion instead of buying some starter boxes with ghosts ^^
    2: fec, the dragons sold me, i always loved those but wasn't a fan of the ghouls until now and learning their lore, i was sold on them recently bought some boxes and than i learned they were getting an update xD and the update is amazing
    3: seraphon, il pick them just over khorne for models as i love dino's especially the ankylosaurus is so cute
    4: khorne, specifically deamons. i really love the cute doggies and bloodletters on rhinos and their overall vibe the bigger ones are also amazing but sometimes a bit to much for me
    5: gitz, easy squigies are the best ^^ their other models are also okay but i think they still need quite a bit of updates and my kb throggoth just looks so much coolers the gitz ones look kinda meh
    i still like nighthaunt as well but the sculpts look a bit more meh now and other factions look more fun gameplay wise etc and in the end my tastes might change again once i get some nighthaunt ^^

    Seraphon the greatest.
    Honestly think the saurus warriors might be one of the best mini’s in the WH imo. Very simple, impactful and easy to paint. And even still you can take them so far with your skill.
    Them being lizards/ reptiles, you can do all sorts of paint schemes. You don’t even have to have 2 units the same if you don’t want to. You can justify them as different breeds, or different varieties. Bright vibrant colours, dark muted colours or a blend of either. Detail all the metal parts and go the full distance on the shields, or keep things nice and simple? It all works superbly well
    There’s also a great spread of sizes in an army on the table. Going from small skinks right up to your big carnosaurs and steggadons. The new range really helps sell that factor even more. Makes for a very impressive display on the tabletop

    It’s true, there really isn’t a single bad army in AoS. In 40K there’s plenty of armies that I just feel completely nothing for, pure ambivalence. It’s worse than contempt, it’s just nothing.
    AoS they managed to really nail every single army with such a phenomenal aesthetic that is independent of near all the others, and the style of each army is significant enough to warrant a real look at each. If I had the money I’d honestly probably have 6 or 8 AoS armies; and probably 3 at most for 40K.
