Killax Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I expect new Beasts of Nurgle, the art that looks like small GUOs is attached to the lore for Beasts of Nurgle. Prime reason why I do see them updating these comes from them being non-character finecast, Snailbro wanting them and them serving a great purpose for 40K and AoS in the form of guarddog-like character protection. Death Guard is also full of characters so to me that all adds up. Thing is, they could also do this much later next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerlin Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 It looks like plumage from a headpiece or helm to me. Here is hoping for some kind of (Free Guild) human. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Explorator Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 (edited) Both the feather and the parchment sort of remind me of the old empire and are yet different, so that points to Free People. I think if the herald for Death is part of a pattern, then we can asume that the other heralds may also be from factions that will not get an update anytime soon, which we know by GHB 2017 Free People belong to. So Free People Herald of Order for Malignant Portants is my bet. Edit: Also, there is a short article on factions in Shadespire: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/09/12/the-factions-of-shadespire-sneak-peekgw-homepage-post-3/ Nothing really new in that picture. The most interesting bit is that there are Skaven and their Clan is kind of hard to pin down, the front one is entirely generic, the middle one looks like Eshin (I do not think we have seen punching daggers on any other Skaven) and the one in the back more like Pestilens.

Nico Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Those look like textbook Clanrats to me. Clanrats have flails like that and Punch Daggers like that too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamister1 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Wonder if the vanguard chamber will include any more female stormcast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeryenn Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Again i think gw begs for criticism. We really need 2 stormcasts and 2 bloodbound bands at the very start of the game? They make the game more interesting rather than elves, grots or other chaos forces? I just don't get it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't get it. im not actually surpised that they would be doing more stormcast or bloodbound. i dont think they are going to be any differnt from how we have a human and orc team in the bloodbowl box as well as indvidual team that people can purchase with new models. also i wonder if they are going to do what they did for bloodbowl and give us a book with new warband rules etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue Explorator Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Apparently I am the only one to read it that way, but as far as I can tell nowhere in that article does it say that the picture represents an exact lineup of the next few Shadespire factions. Maybe we should wait for an official reveal before we pull our hair out over even more Stormcast and Bloodbound releases? As well, I do not think if GW plans to preview something like an entirely new aelf faction, they would announce that via an artwork reveal. This is no more than a teaser, it certainly does not tell us what isn't coming out or a timetable, just gives us an idea on what additional releases might bring. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GW very rarely put out spoilers in a different order to release. Like, they wouldn't put out a picture of Fyreslayers and Stormcast, and then go, SURPRISE, it's actually Seraphon first. It's just not in their MO. It's in the same vein that in all the artwork you see in the battletomes, you never see something GW doesn't want you to see. You don't see any art of the factions that haven't played a role in AoS to date (So no Free Peoples, Aelves of various kinds, Ogors, etc). As for the content. I'm a little disappointed that they're not stepping outside their 'major faction' bounds. Especially if you can't 'sub out' models in your warband, I don't think we need a second Stormcast and Bloodbound warbands this early. Shadespire seemed like a good opportunity to give some focus to the factions that haven't gotten any model love so far, but it looks like GW are just playing to their favourites. At least with Death and Destruction they don't have many avenues left open in terms of that, so we could see some surprises in those warbands (Although, if I were to guess it'd probably be Flesh-Eater Courts and Bonesplitterz). Perhaps third phase will have more interesting and unique warbands. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chikout Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 So a few things. 1- on the Facebook page someone asked about Seraphon. GW said the art 'might not be everyone' 2- regarding the extra Stormcast and Blood Warriors, someone suggested that they might be expansion characters. GW replied 'the plot thickens' This is actually kind of exciting. Expansion Vampire anyone? 3- Shadespire is season 1 of Warhammer Underworlds. On warhammer TV Vince said the starter came with 96 cards which were marked as part of a series of 431. Take away a few cards for expansion characters etc and you have 8 warbands each with about 50 cards. 4- That strongly suggests that we have 2 warbands from season 1 and maybe some more characters yet to be revealed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someone2040 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Yeah, for the record, I'm perfectly fine if the Stormcast/Blood Warriors are expansion character type stuff. I'll honestly be overjoyed if that's the case, because I think in a miniatures game, you want the ability to customise which miniatures you take, not just the cards in your deck. I guess the other thing is the Shadespire release pace may be faster than what we're used to. We're used to releases that span 2-3 weeks, with battletomes and an array of new miniatures. But Shadespire warbands are only 3-7~ish model warbands after all. If you can't tweak the models in your warband, I think it'll still be fine if we get our initial 4-6 warbands straight off the bat, and then they release 1-2 new warbands every month.

Davariel Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 If nothing else it's exciting to see Skaven getting some love! Will be very interesting to see how GW handles the rats (and their, ahem, "friendship" with the rest of Chaos) going forward... And if that pic really is an accurate representation of the warbands in Shadespire... then put me down for the Nagash warband Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuneBrush Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Not entirely sure why anyone is getting het up about seeing more Stormcast/Bloodbound? It's a handful of models for a game that's standalone from the main AoS one! Khorne hasn't actually had a model release for months either. I think Shadespire looks really interesting as a concept - I'm looking forward to seeing what price entry point we could expect for the warbands? My gut feeling is it'll be one or maybe two sprues containing the entire warband in the smallest box GW use (similar size to the new Skulls box), so could be around £15/20. But only a month to wait from the looks of it If the pricing is right we could see a "got to get them all" attitude - and lots and lots of conversion potential for our main armies!
