ZephyrExia Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I hope it ends up being Devoted of Sigmar, Moonclan Grots, New chaos Marauders (Darkoath style), and at the very minimum, new zombies for death. The herald screams Nighthaunt, but with them being off the table due to GHB'17, hopefully something deadwalkers, Deathmage/lord/rattle that fleshes (heh) out death a bit more.

With the stormcast Sigmar is trying to also bring civilisation back to realms and I like that. Yeah this exactly I'm really pleased they're trying to create some real distinction between stormcasts and their 40K equivalents. I also like how the new model seems to combine the stormcast, freeguild and dwarf aesthetics together, the head is very freeguild while the bare arms and headpiece put me in mind of a duardin smith. The armour looks much lighter and more ceremonial which makes sense given what they've told us about Lord-Ordinators roles so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AthlorianStoners Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I actually thought it was freeguild model when i saw it in the video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowSwordmaster Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 The monk was pretty cool in the video. Nice to have another perspective in Age of Sigmar. I want that new Stormcast model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the dude is all John Henry and he should really be more frank gehry. Pffft, lol no thanks. Love the John Henry vibe, especially considering how much the folk story resonates with AoS as a setting (just replace 'steam powered hammer' with 'the powers of chaos' a battle fought and won against a seemingly unstoppable force by the greatest mankind had to offer at the cost his life. It's downright poetic.) But I suppose 'old canadian guy who build houses or w/e' would have been fine...ish... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trayanee Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I know there is some disappointment with another Stormcast release and I wished for aelf heralding future faction too, but the Lord-Ordinator looks exciting lore-wise, appearance-wise and theme-wise. Now I really hope they will expand on it with a few tech/science based units/chamber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infrastructure projects? Alright, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Stormcast Eternals ever done for us?

HorticulusTGA Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 New Video ! To me, it could really hints at new Deathrattle and Darkoath factions ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smucreo Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Really? How? My impression is that these videos are just showing off the heralds of each alliance realizing the growing threat of Death, nothing else. They are still entertaining though.

Turragor Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I think the heralds aren't random. We are getting updates and or models for moonclan, darkoath, death (shroud?) and a new sc chamber together with the nurgle update all in the first half of 2018. Wild speculation ahoy.

I would agree with you, though people have been speculating a new Aelf range I think that stuff will come next year to coincide the rumoured upcoming Slaanesh revamp (like with Tzeentch and Nurgle) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skarloc Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Malign Portents - The Conqueror There, amongst the warring Barbarians, I found another shard of the enlightenment I sought.

I bore witnessed that day, to the rough of a Warqueen and to the fool that would die for the sin of challenging her. An Empress of the Barbarian clans, each one of her kind was a daughter of destiny. Had this champion seen the truth already, had she seen the .. rise of shadows bearing rusted blades. Of dead men that walk and hunger for heart's blood Rally the tribes! Gather the hosts!

Some time ago, there was a rumor that the Harbingers were going to be free in matched play if you and your opponent both had your factions harbinger in your army(don't ask me to source, no idea where I got that anymore) If that is true, then having them be anything other than melee beatsticks would be a bit iffy. Cause let's say the ordinatos and warqueen are way stronger than the nighthaunt guy or the mushroom dude. Why would you take your harbinger for D&D if you knew it just meant making Order and Chaos better for free? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michu Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Yeah, it comes from wfb 6th ed Dark Shadows campaign set in Albion. There was available miniatures for Truthsayers and Dark emissaries as heralds for all armies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, no, no, no, noooooo.... If after all this waiting (and the Squatting of the tomb kings and their constructs) all we get is *yawn* blooddrinking chaos warriors, er, I mean vampires again, I will be highly bummed out (though more financially stable).

I know we just had it but im still hopeful! The theme of destiny is really common throughout Chaos. Seems like every story about a Chaos hero includes a lot of rambling about how he/she believes that they are destined for this or that. Just my take.
