Keldaur Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 14 hours ago, Gorks Pokin' Finger said: I think they'll have the ending of MP already mapped out into one of several conclusions. They've learned their lesson from the Storm of Chaos campaign from Warhammer Fantasy. Seasons of War two years ago pretty much led to Firestorm, and I'm sure they had something else planned in case one of the other Allegiances won. I think no matter who wins, two events are likely to occur: Chaos loses control of Shyish and something will happen that results in Slaanesh escapes, ushering Teclis and Tyrion into the game to combat him/her (this is assuming the next Elf release this year is Malerion or another shadowkin elf faction) I really doubt it is Malerion. We should look at what got updated on GHB, and discard those imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuff featured in White Dwarf are always released at the end of the previous month (as Custodes this time) or at the beginning of the respective month.

DantePQ Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 It could be Death related but surely it's about Daughters of Khaine as it fits perfectly DoK trailers. And I guess DoK will play a huge role in MP initial narrative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chikout Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I think it is highly likely that daughters of Khaine will go up for preorder on Feb 24th or March 3rd. With all the malign portents and death next week, then both Necromunda and Shadespire on the 10th it seems clear that they have a pretty hectic schedule. The 17th preorder will probably be black library focused with the anniversary on the 24th. Two years ago the aos open day coincided with the release of Silver tower so having another big release to show on the day makes sense. My personal theory is that in malign portents, Nagash is encouraging as many factions as possible to come and fight in his Realm. He will use the souls of those killed to fuel the creation of a new faction. The results of the campaign will decide how powerful and widespread this faction will be. With the campaign ending around the time of Adepticon, it will be the perfect time to preview the new range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but I personally kinda want Maneaters and Firebellies to stay their own factions, mainly because I'm making a Maneater army and I like their lore a lot. Butcher and Tyrant very much need new models though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also anyone notice the mentioned Legions of Shadow again when it doesn't relate to a Mortarch. Yeah I have a feeling its what @Gorks Pokin' Finger deduced. And its a good way to push even more miniatures out! Legion of Shadows is Mannfred though, because he is the Mortarch of Shadows! I'm excited to see where DoK normally resides, and Morathi has been hiding in the realm of shadows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucio Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I think Malign Portents is literally what they've said it is, the next storyline in the campaign, which has borrowed ideas from the Gathering Storm in 40k We'll see some new ideas for Death, though it's fairly clear the Battletome is focusing on allowing Death to combine all the sub-factions sensibly but reward specific synergies, so if we get any new models it'll be a kit or two. New faction isn't impossible but with the number of factions still needing attention, including popular choices like Moonclan, I think we're more likely to see progress there instead. Particularly Free People or Ironweld Arsenal, Moonclan and Slaves to Darkness (or at least the Maurauder section). On top of that, we need to see where the Daughters of Khaine fit into this, is Nagash looking to bust Mortharion / Slaanesh out to undermine Sigmar's Order faction?

That's some of the nicer fluff we have as of now for AOS (IMO). Also, it's more or less "the story so far" (at least Firestorm), leading to Malign Portents' Time of Tribulations !

I've never been sold on the mortarch models, the steeds don't do it for me, and for the same reason the archai don't do it for me either. Medieval dead horde here I come.
