RafaBO Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 From reddit: "The Briar Queen - nemesis of the cursed city of Shadespire - is unleashed by Nagash to menace other lands. She is tasked with claiming certain souls that have cheated Nagash. With the aid of her spectral army - the Thorns of the Briar Queen - she visits each of the Mortal Realms, always bringing back her target's soul. Between missions the Briar Queen returns to Shadespire, for her need for vengeance there remains unsatisfied." Being in the new AoS box set, and the cards they showed a few months ago with a castle gate icon, this totally points out at the new Nighthaunt band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tutenkharnage Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Aren't the Idoneth aquatic? I know, I know: "Realism, shmealism!" But I have a hard time seeing them in Shadespire. I also have a hard time seeing GW releasing eight new warbands and only one flavor of Stormcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riddlesworth Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 i can see deepkin more than seraphon (though I'd love a lizzie warband) agree that the potential of 2 stormcast warbands is high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, it will be fitting for them entering into Shadespire. Their whole background revolves around souls, theirs and their enemies'. Due to their time in Slanesh's belly, their souls are withering and need to find a cure to it. Where best to find such cure than the city that managed to cheat death and keep their souls far from Nagash's grasp? I can imagine 3 Namarti (the blind ones) and one Akhelian, their pure blood high cast as leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutenkharnage Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I can see Nurgle, Slaanesh, and Tzeentch making an appearance. Nurgle will probably include upgrades similar to Deathly Fortitude and Cursed Artefact. Slaanesh will probably be able to hurt themselves to deal extra damage and ploys that revolve around pushing enemy fighters (i.e., seduction of some sort). Tzeentch ... no idea.
