How easy is it to play skaven in the newest version of TOW?

So, im wanting to get into TOW because after a few years of thinking i font really fw the actually game of 40k and AoS. But where i live no one plays TOW.

A friend of my offered to start so i have some to play BUT she is obsessed with the skaven.

Now you see my problem, i want to play old world and she wants to play skaven. I could buy old world chaos warriors and proxy them as slaves of darkness for AoS so i technically have two armies but then the bases will be wrong for at least one if the game systems.... OR... she plays legends skaven for old world.

Is there any way she can play modern old world rules with skaven. I dont know the rules of old world yet since i havent commited to it yet.

I REALLY want to play bretonnia or chaos warriors and REALLY want to play The old world. She REALLY wants to play skaven. Is there a clean and easy way that we can compromise?

sorry if this has been asked 50 gazillion times but asking again gives me the most updated ways that mightve changed with the new updated rules in that cathay starter box.

My Two Marauders.

The red one is new. Ive had it base coated for months and i never got around to finishing it so i decided i would do it today. Its in a paint scheme of the severan dominate because i am quote fond of them.

I had to put a LOT of weather on it because i no longer have the paints to make the base coats. So the weathering served to hide the places i missed, I certainly went overboard it.

But i think its servicable to my aeronatuica (whenever i get around to that). Dont ask where the bases, they may have snapped off after i dropped them.

The grey and horizon blue marquder will always be my pride and joy because i think i put a lot more effort into it and was my first aeronautica model. The paint scheme for it allows for a few RP scenarious for what kinda airforce it is. Could be just grimey imperial navy bomber, or a fiction krieg air force. It could as be phantine since they change camo like everyone else to fit their mission, so this could be a night raid phantine force.

Sorry for the yap but i thought id share my thoughts instead of what i did before and just show my pictures.

I finally got around to painting my first ever model I built

I decides to go with black legion because it looks so good. Not my favourite legion but they have drip. Black legion will always hold a special place in my heart because its what got me interested in CSM because obviously GW loves to use them as basic CSM.

I procrastinated painting this guy for 2 years ever since i bought my first ever warhammer box (the combat patrol) and i wanted to wait until i got better at painting before giving him a go. I should give him a name to commemorate him.

I painted this bad boy in just under an hour while watching some RTGame. He will be sitting on my desk with me from now on.

The rest of my combat patrol is night lords so id like to think the night lord warband went to the Black Legion for help with something and this guy is who the BL sent. But idk lol.

Sorry for the yap but this guy is special to me.

I cleaned up my first ODST a little bit.

Sorry the pictures are fuzzy. My phone is ancient.

I decided to change some stuff on my odst that I posted before.

I think she is looking way betrer now. I put some green on the AR and dry brushed highlights on it. put agrax earthshade on the base and dry brushed steel legion drab on it. dry brushed silver on the knife. silver visor with nuln oil. The markings are now a brighter yellow.

Just finished reading Apostle by David Annandale. Spoilers obviously.

I loved it all the way through. Cerastes is such a snake but good character. Wrack and her entire thing at the start was sad. Towards the end with the other word bearers was a little bit of a let down because we don’t get to see who they are. The actual ending was not what i was expecting and was a tiny bit rushed through but its still good.
I hope we get a sequel one day because it definitely feels like it was set up for one. Maybe we can learn more about the surviving acolytes of the new word bearers.

Im going onto reading The First heretic next which i got a little ways through before getting distracted lol.

Apostle is gonna be rated high for me no matter what because the author wrote it in a way that hooked me with just how he worded everything. I gotta admit that i got very excited when cerastes summoned all the demons and when the author described him climbing out the the rubble and standing infront of the fighting mass with two blood crushers on both his flanks rushing into the battle. Very cool. When cerastes flung all the purity seals all over the city in a tornado was a cool image to imagine. There is tons of moments which feel like pictures in my mind.

Painted this guy in an hour or two. Love krieg so much.

I may have accidentally painted Drier in the colours of cadia because i was just winging it while painting and didnt have a plan. Love the way her turned out tho and i guess i gotta paint an entire army like this now lol

It seems arbites arent on the webstore anymore.

Are we cooked or are they just removing them from the killteam box like some other killteams? Literally the week i was gonna buy a box of arbites and they remove it lol.

Is there a place i can find online to see the instructions for building models?

I have lost the manual that came with the krieg army box set and now I have no idea hoe to build the models. Is there a place online that has them in a pdf format or something?

Do we know anything about the Phantine Liberation campaign or have a book about it?

The wikis reference the liberation of Phantine (the planet) but there is no citation at all for where this info comes from. IIRC they mention it in "double eagle" and im not sure if they reference it in "interceptor city" because i haven’t finished it so no spoilers please. i know the phantine air corps make an appearance in "guns of tanith" but i also haven’t read that yet.

Is this all there is on the phantine air corps and their respective home world? Or is there something im missing?

I have pre-ordered the "Sabbat worlds crusade" book which goes over the background for that theatre of war and all the books that take place in said theatre, so maybe it says something in that.

I just want to learn more about my favourite little guys in warhammer.

Please refrain form spoilers for any of the "gaunts ghosts" books and "interceptor city" just let me know if they reference the liberation of phantine or not and give me the book name if they do. Thank you.

I thought to ask you all since the phantine air corps is a guard regiment after all and who would know more about the Sabbat worlds than The Guard

First Flashpoint model. I think i did pretty well.

I LOVE DESERT CAMO RAHHHH! I kinda ruined it with the matte varnish but id like to think ita just sand that got on her during the drop. It was really fun to paint and appreciate the larger size than warhammer models. I cant wait to buy the new 1.5 edition box when that releases so i can play the game.

The tribe grows

Despite my shakey hands ive found ive really enjoyed painting these guys. You can see bits of the primer i couldnt reach due to my not so steady hands but its invisible in person. I really love these models and i cant wait to finish the rest of the box in like 20 years lol.

First necromunda model built and painted.

Ignore the "impeccable" photography skills

I want to get the red "richer" or more saturated than mephiston red like the last picture. Maybe khorne red? Or screamer pink and mephiston red 1:1.

Or am i going crazy and this red is exactly what mephiston red looks like?

I want the red to have a wine like tint to its colour if you get what i mean. Im planning on painting my aeronautica models in the severan dominate colours of black, red, and white.
