GreenMarine Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Has the identity of the Celestant-Prime been revealed? I'm assuming that it's probably Karl Franz, but I wondered if it was actually defined or if there was a list of suspected candidates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinros Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 It's karl franz. The wrath of the God-King. The Avenging Angel of Azyr. The Bearer of the World-Hammer. The First Scion of Sigmar - this is the Celestant-Prime. A great king and guardian of men even in mortal life, he has been strengthened by a prodigious infusion of Sigmar’s divine might; but even this power was not enough. Now wielding the Skull Splitter, the Great Shatterer Ghal Maraz, the Celestant-Prime’s fury roars across the battlefields of the realms as an overwhelming clarion call. The thunderous impact of Ghal Maraz can slay a daemon with one blow, setting the spirit within free to make its way to Azyr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkiham Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 there was also great empires an kingdoms in the realms, theres a chamber of stormcasts who are all kings and nobles. unless it mentions anything relating to the old realm then its not really enough to confirm its him. note also, it says " king " karl franz was the emperor. not the king.

AdHocGames Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I was under the impression Sigmar "possessed" Karl Franz during the end times, so wouldn't Sigmar technically be Karl Franz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Tomlin Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 That quote also says "Now wielding.." which could further suggest its not Karl Franz as he previously wielded Ghal Maraz anyways. That said my AoS fluff-fu is weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowlzee Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 It one of the fluff books it mentions he's a great king from the Age of Myth. So that would rule out both Louen Leoncouer and Karl Franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said my AoS fluff-fu is weak. That would be awesome, he's meant to be the first Stormcast, I imagine it would be someone who was kicking about long after Sigmar encountered the Mortal Realms. I'd like it to be Karl Franz but he's Sigmar, or was so i'm not sure if he could be the Prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I think they're trolling us - a unit which waits until battleround 3 when the fight is won before rocking up and cometing the remnants off the table - clearly Mannfred! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke Khadric Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 The chronological order of the ages after the End Times are: After Draconthian awakened Sigmar, he explored the 8 realms and the Age of Myth developed, after which a brief period of utopia blossomed. Then came the Age of Chaos and it was during this time Ghal Maraz was lost and Sigmar sealed the Realmgates. After centuries of oppression, the Age of Sigmar began with the first Stormcast invasion of the Brimstone Peninsula.. Sorry to bust the bubble!

Age of Myth was the prosperous time in the mortal realms, before Sigmar's pantheon of god's fell apart. But it's still after the world that was.

Neil Peckett Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Presumably then, we are all 'wrong' when we paint the Prime in the colour of our Chamber? , he should only be in whatever his 'official' colour scheme shoul be? Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amysrevenge Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Was it somewhere official or just fan-splaining where I read that his uniform changes to match the chamber he is dispatched to assist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vash1313 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 While there is a distinction between an Emperor or King, I don't think it is great enough to invalidate Karl Franz as a candidate. I think the two terms actually have more in common than different and are easily interchangeable. Especially considering the effective role of these positions have been different throughout the years. Classic historical feudalistic monarch to modern constitutional monarchy; likewise early Roman to late roman emperor to napoleonic emperor? I'm also not sure the text quoted below means that this was the first time the being who is now the Celestant Prime held Ghal Maraz; rather I think it's referring to how the infusion of Sigmar's might was not enough until he got Ghal Maraz. A great king and guardian of men even in mortal life, he has been strengthened by a prodigious infusion of Sigmar’s divine might; but even this power was not enough. Now wielding the Skull Splitter, the Great Shatterer Ghal Maraz, the Celestant-Prime’s fury roars across the battlefields of the realms as an overwhelming clarion call. Personally, I think Karl Franz fits the best in light of how much GW likes to bring old WFB characters forward and his already extremely strong connection to Sigmar. That being said, anything is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shinros Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 In balance of power, All gates and the guardians of ever queen novel he was in the colours of the hallowed knights. I assume his colour changes depending on which host he is sent to help. It's more of a morale thing I suppose. I personally find this topic interesting since many people have their own theories.
