  1. I think that's just GW focusing their casting on 40K and the new sculpts at the moment, to the point of other models taking the back seat- Dark Imperium is selling massively.

  3. BUT! It states in french 'Le Generals Handbook présente des nouveaux styles de jeux..." Which means, "The Generals Handbook present the new wayS/styles of playing..." which would hint at more than just points. That said, I don't think the image looks very official. The weird white backlighting, the image that the book is superimposed upon is not very flattering etc etc. Doesn't really look like the right design that GW has been using lately. EDIT: Ah, just saw all the posts after the one I was answering as well as the one linking to an english version to the same image. The whole picture looks very official, and text says what I just listed, just ignore my post. I'll creep back into the shadows in shame.....
  4. ARE you Martin Grandbarbe? If so, I love your work mate. T
  5. Veeery nice! Did you use Martin Grandbarbe's ethereal paint scheme? Did you use air pistol for it, or is it possible to do it with brush? Very nice work!
  6. I was thinking the same! What's up with that?? DOH!
  7. So.... These are all comments from GW's go to writer Josh Reynold's ask.fm page where readers write questions about the lore and upcoming events in books and tomes and he tries to answer to the best of his knowledge and honoring any contract clauses he has... So first of all, grot sky pirates, he mentioned them already five months ago as a faction he'd like to invent from new... What's the reason we're suddenly seeing them pop up in different places?? - Just him having a lark, or did he drop off a hint on his ask.fm five months ago?? Also there's some stuff on Stormcast Eternals and what happens if they turn.... bad... And very strong hints about coming books or tomes about this. Is this a reference to that whole Nagash is envious of Sigmar thing, and is something on the way on the Death side or something similar? Am I clawing at rumor mongering straws?.... YES! Here goes: If you were given leeway to make an AoS faction from new cloth, what would you like to see new from the setting? JR: Urgh. Either a new human faction - not Sigmarites or a Bretonnian rehash, something more akin to Dogs of War, with special units from a variety of cultures - or Gargants. Just lots of Gargants. Different sorts of Gargants. Or, y'know, Grot sky-pirates. 5 months ago If Sigmar is taking the freewill of people to choose to become a stormcast eternal or not. Don't you think that is evil? He is not giving them a choice. JR: Is he taking their free will, or is he choosing people who've already made that choice, on some level? Do your wishes matter, when it comes to a cosmic war, fought in the name of sentient life everywhere? If your only other option is death (or worse), is it really a choice at all? Are you just a pawn, in the games of the gods, or do your choices matter in some ineffable way? It's almost as if there's a narrative arc, of sorts, to this whole Stormcast thing, isn't there? Almost as if it might be building to something. Or not. Who knows? Not me. I'm just a guy working on a per-contract basis. What happens to the heroes that don't want to become stormcast eternals when Sigmar takes them? JR: That's an interesting question. I wonder if someone will start writing a book about that, among other things, in, say, 3-4 months. How will Sigmar deal with his stormcast eternals becoming a bunch of lobotomized automatons? JR: Wait and see.
  8. @someone2040 love it. I think zombies would definitely have a worse stating stat than humans though, but this would somewhat be offset by 'dragged down' or some other mechanic. Unstunnable could be a possibility - if game goes that way.. Any way good ideas!
  9. I also like this idea, of a base stat, as I think it opens the AOS components up for more of a roleplaying experience in line with mordheim, since you could customize your gang more, and this would remove the feeling of fighting against brotherly clones, if you met a war band from the same faction as your own. But.... You forgot to mention baseline stats for my faction: the dead.. Zombies would just be cheaper and worse versions of humans I'd guess. Ghosts would be anti rend...
  10. "That's right folks - skirmish sized battles are coming to the Mortal Realms.This expansion will make use of the existing range of Warhammer Age of Sigmar minitures, and will be a way to play games with just a handful of miniatures, or with part of a new army as you build towards a larger force.Intrigued? We'll have more news for you soon..."
  11. the text says "Warriors fight for treasures and glory in the land of the dead".... EDIT: "Warriors fight for treasures and glory in the MORTAL REALMS" MIND YOU! My translating skills are not fantastic, german is not my first language either. And sterblichen can -SHOULD- also be translated as mortals. So mortal realms is probably better... editing. In danish -that I translated to before further on to english, the word mortals is made up of the same core as death. i.e.. DØD: death and Dødelig : mortal.
  12. No pink (or was it blue, I forgot) days this month as I've heard in the local store, though there are some pink (?) days coming in july or june (don't remember which) so I very much doubt it'd be the big'un (40K 8th edition) today.... Probably tome or rules.
  13. Hmm, I don't know if I think thats the way it'll go, but it's as good a guess as any other, and you have some valid points. I love those nineties images by the way. Full of character! Also, I have to say, I would love a somewhat clunky mechanical zombie sub-faction. Could be so much fun, kind of like skaven -just talentless off course! Scavengers of machinery. I'd buy into that. Well see!
  14. So now that we're back at rumor mongering -!- I'd have to ask you to clarify this bit of information? Did you pull it out of your behind as a hunch (don't mean no disrespect) or do you have a line directly to Kevin D. Rountree? Why is it, we should take what you mentioned at face value (and believe me I want to!).... I want werewolves!
  15. I don't wan't to rock this boat even more, as I see how some people think we're complaining a bit too much but....... You could always jump on the Armageddon: Shadow War wagon, and buy a 10 man kill team for that until GW comes around to some GA:DEATH updates.. I did! Planning on playing campaigns in my local store as well as at home. Should be fun! -Though I still plan on playing my soulblight kill team-army in AOS, and just hold off on buying new models until something happens there...
  16. One horde is all buffed up to kill and gets bonuses for killing. The other horde is all buffed up to survive (plus some extra attacks) and gets bonuses for that = grind.
  17. If you're implying that death is severely hindered by the fact that it is the/one of the factions most in need of a new battle tome, I would definitely agree. But looking at how it seems it was meant to be played and the general gist of it; regenerating units and buffed ward saves giving you a 1/3 chance of saving any wounds, I would definitely say that it seem it would be a natural negation to a khorne army out for blood. That's how I think Death was meant to be played, and that's how I think you could play death already- though I agree that the more time that passes without that sorely needed battle tome, the harder it will get, as other factions, khorne, get new battle tomes and new ways to play that make them better. -This is not me complaining, as I fully expect this to be rectified, and am hoping GW has decided to spam us with battle tomes. (i.e. every second to third month or so) But once we get that tome, and even now, throwing units of 60 zombies or 40 skeletons with with kings banner plus ward save plus regen and closing down khorne maneuverability through numbers (and merging summoned units) seems like a good way to throw a spanner into the khorne blood tithe mechanic needing killed units to gain extras. I think death and khorne will make for strategic games of slow grind.
  18. I can see how Death could be a hard opponent for Khorne as Blood Tithe needs the Khorne player to eradicate units to give bonuses - Death with their ward save and regenerating units could actually be a viable answer to lock them down.
  19. It's right here mentioned in the newly leaked fluff text and images on the Kharadron as well! "Skywardens.... just as proficient at dealing with aerial harkrakens as they are with ragtag fleets of grotbag scuttlers and daemonic shoals of screamers of Tzeentch." Give us grot scuttle bags! Look for yourselves. From War of Sigmar... https://war-of-sigmar.herokuapp.com/bloggings/1844
  20. Hatton seems like such a nice little town, ripe for a visit. I had a friend here from Shyish that came back and told me so many good things about his visit.. Now I'm in charge of planning for The Voldyr Pensioners Travelling Club and we're definitely planning on a trip to Hatton sometime soon, we can't wait to try bite of Miss Strawberry's buttocks.... I mean lardy cakes. Who knows, maybe we'll bring some adventurous newly dead Hattonites with us back for a long visit to Voldyr? We're always looking to expand our contacts with other likeminded pensioners abroad. Until then, T
  21. Could very well only show shadespire still. relased pic of the box says 'core set' so they could show later sets and editions which are in the pipeline.... but I think there'll be more as well... just saying. Sendt fra min HUAWEI U9508 med Tapatalk
  22. Oh well, who knows whats going to happen at Adepticon... ..... ..... ......
  23. NooooooooOOooooo. A battle tome for.... CHAOS? So Order and Chaos, thats it, huh? Now Death pretty much is missing both some new factions/more synergised factions and a battle tome.... Destruction is a little better off, but still...... Please. Anyway, congrats to all the khorne players
  24. @Sadysaneto Thanks! @KillagoreFaceslasha Np got it!
  25. Have any more on this? Maybe a snippet of text?
