Ah yes, a troll who tries to spark up arguments to make a group look bad. But then in turn makes another group look even worse when found out. I know this startergy! I swear some people have too much time on their hands.

So, I gave the hobby a break, and ghouls just pulls me right back in. The track in the trailer sounds familiar? A classical piece? It fits.

In my opinion this is one of the first things they should've of gave clear information on and even with this post it still feels rather... obtuse? Is that the right word?

Well... just have to wait and see I guess.

People need to understand not to buy into the hype, keep your expectations low, that way you're never disappointed. I got tired of being baited ages ago. So when it comes to previews they just like to pad out a whole hour usually and do like... four previews and one extra hint at the end that barely shows anything. That's been their thing for awhile now.

So confirmation the aelf model was DOK, looks like I was wrong, nighthaunt look great.

Eh, whole debate is off topic. We all have our opinions.

I do enough reflection to the issues in my daily life than think about what happens on the Internet. That's just me.

Don't care about the reality of game development. It's not my problem as a consumer. Release a bad product and I will criticise it. They've released good products so I know they can do it. Now if being called sin guy or bin guy wounds their creative spirit to the point they can't work properly. All the belly aching in the world won't make it go away. It's the Internet. But do you know what would help deal with that? Releasing consistent books.

Never have insulted them. But I don't care, if they care about memes on the Internet so much then fix the problem. That's it. Anyway this is all I'm going to say since this is technically off topic.

This is going to make me sound like an ******, but I'll be blunt. I don't care about GW's feelings. As Austin said there is a certain decorum on how things are done. But GW have released good books and good warscrolls. So, me as a consumer has certain expectations. When those expectations are are not met, obviously I'll get annoyed and upset. Since this is quite a high value hobby for many people. Again going back to my my own issues and why I have little sympathy.. Look at all the work put in the Slaanesh feedback and still, I haven't seen anything pleasing. Hell, put the DOK book and the slaanesh book together on release, how is there such a discrepancy in terms of their design and writing? Not looking for something crazy here, it's why I went for soulblight. At this point I'm not going to care about his or her feelings if it feels like I'm being ignored, at the end of the day. So in this case, if X bothers the writers so much, fix it. End of. It can be done, we've all seen it done. So in my eyes there are no excuses unless books aren't peer reviewed. Which I think would be crazy. But considering the strange design bends and heights with the books and warscrolls that might be the answer.

Honestly, the meme would stop if GW just wrote better books and warscrolls. They can do it, just look at some of the books and warscrolls in the game. Yet, some books just feel low effort in general. If people are feeling that way about your product then perhaps something is wrong.

Ha! Well, GW could change their minds, I could be wrong but the paint scheme made me think of Idoneth straight away. The armour with a blue tinge. Because in the case of DOK, they're colour coded black, red and gold for the GW army paint scheme.

Avatar of Khaine, what would be interesting would be if GW lets DOK use the new model, if I was them I would double dip.

Idoneth, look at the paint scheme on the armour. Throwing my hat in that circle. Bone dude is maugan ra, course avatar of khaine was in the video, ghost boy with a lantern, rest is 40k.

People forget this part, no matter if you're in the right if you don't have the funds to fight the issue it doesn't matter. GW know what they're doing with their new IP guidelines, it's to kill off competition/fan work for their new subscription service.

Just going to say if they're keeping the scale the same and not dialling back how much you need for a full army, people better be ready to sell a kidney. Especially since it's going to be like Horus Heresy, so expect resin. Then the question remains if the armies get smaller is it really whfb? I don't think total war players will be ready to drop that kind of cash, I could be wrong. They still reacted badly to the current prices.

So, here's my opinion. We're not really going to find out whether GW is happy with the sales of Dominion until we get to the financial report. That's the crux of the matter, no matter how GW spin it, people can easily read between the lines. The thing is with AOS at least in my opinion, people play a wider range of factions. It's not like 40k, where if GW makes a new space marine release, people will just buy it up. Stormcast players themselves, at least from my observation aren't like that either. For example, take it from GW themselves, look at one of their previous reports, GW outright essentially said AOS' wider range is doing well, than a singular faction. Overall though, again, my opinion. I don't think Dominion is a good box. I'll go into why I personally have no interest. First thing, I don't care about Hammers of Sigmar, they have too many characters, most barely know anything about them either. If you look at the net, guess which faction gets more traction and interest when it comes to stormcast? Hallowed Knights. Since this day, I think it has been a misfire to make Hammers of Sigmar the poster boy stormcast faction. Hallowed knights fit the paladin theme far more better, plus they're easier to paint on top of that. Also, I just don't like Yndrasta either. This was their chance to course correct and they didn't. Now, the destruction side of the box, another misfire. I like lord of the rings, just recently finished reading the book, so I like the look of the orcs, but here's the issue. It's more orcs, orcs that don't seem to mesh well with the orcs we have already. What I think GW should of done is introduce a whole new destruction faction, that aren't orcs or update an existing line. Like, I don't know, Ironjawz maybe? Then after that introduce the new orcs as their own standalone faction. In the end even if the box is selling poorly, I'm not bothered, why? Because if GW has any sense that would mean they would reassess what boxes they do and what factions they put in them. My hope is for both 40k and AOS, that they move away from the outlook that every starter box has to have the poster faction in it, or just continue to make boxes with two different factions facing one another.

This is why I love the bloodline, the mystery around them. Here is my theory. In the white dwarf they mention that hrunspuul might just be nagash in another guise, it's more or less a mystery. To me it would be strange for Nagash to have control over Vyrkos vampires if they were completely unrelated to him. My personal theory that Nagash has bought hrunspuul to heel, possibly serves nagash as a sort of Cerberus figure or used his blood to make the Vyrkos. Honestly I sort of fancy the idea that if Vyrkos was an experiment by Nagash, they might be vampires as his envisions them to be, predators who dominate the living than dressing up and pretending they're mortal, like legion of blood and Night to some extent. Because in Age of Sigmar, technically Vyrkos is the only "new" bloodline, the rest of the vampires are children of Mannfred and Neferata, who all change or mutate depending on how they live, or where they live in the realms. Then these vampires form dynasties. Personally I don't think they have any relation to Ulric. Though the fact that they separated the vyrkos stuff in the FAQ tells me that GW aren't done with the bloodline anytime soon. Actually, I think they got the most new models out of the Soulblight release I think.

Just have to say it's pretty nice to see all that all the Soulblight players are excited for the next edition, the cheers on the separation of the court on facebook was great to see, picked it up myself now. Personally, I wish that the future battletomes for 3.0 to be around Soulblight's level, for me, it hits the right spot of strong and not overbearing, flavourful and not boring. *coughslaaneshcough*

As a Vyrkos player, I'm so happy right now. Got a reason to buy the court.

Personally I find Vyrkos far more closer to classic Dracula than mannfred/von carsteins after reading bram stoker Dracula, it's what drew to the bloodline actually. The bloodline is far more shrouded in myth and mystery which makes it rather interesting, because you got the mix of both feral and regal. Some who either control the beast or those who don't. Dracula and his ilk, were far from regal monsters going by the book, they seemed more like creepy undead creatures that can manipulate the animals of the night, along with the dead. Plus he had a shaggy wolf form. I'm sure GW did not take any inspiration when making Radukar, The Beast, lol. Plus Annika's appearance, was literally lifted from the movies/book. Let's not forget the eastern euro influence on the bloodline.

Who knows, I hope so at least, plus GW might have taken your messaging into account if they're going to revise things for the FAQ(so far they haven't made me hopeful), I hate saying this now, but we have to wait and see what happens and then react accordingly. In the case of keeping up the pressure if no changes are made. As been mentioned, communication would help a lot in this regard, a simple "I hear you," or "x faction hasn't been forgotten," would go a long way to alleviate concerns.

Clearly slaanesh is well-pointed and well-designed, GW clearly know what they're doing. When even the play-testers and most youtubers can't defend the points, thanks, I'm sure you know best. Yes, I'm also playing something different, but if people are unsatisfied with a product they have the right to voice their complaint, for if they don't, GW won't know if something has gone wrong or not. Corporations aren't our friends. In my eyes there is clear favouritism going on with certain factions considering the glaring balance differences between books and pointing.
