Really just hoping at this point that Stormcast retain their allyship and acceptance of the varied mortals that inhabit the COS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lare2 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Thanks @TheGrayKing and @CommissarRotke. I'd heard the Bretonnian rumours but the termy Stormcast's a new one for me. Will keep my eyes open for more info (hopefully this Saturday!). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OkayestDM Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 19 hours ago, CommissarRotke said: if they give me a proper spear unit for Stormcast I'll accept even a 'Bretonnian' aesthetic for the new units I've been hoping for Spearcast since I first started collecting. The Protectors with the glaives are cool, but it's just not the same. Also, I'm not going to infer too much about the model design yet from the suggestions that we're getting "Bretonian Terminator" Stormcast. More heavily armored, knightly Stormcast could translate into a lot of different designs, and GW has been absolutely killing it with their models of late.

CommissarRotke Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 yeah the javelins don't scratch my spear itch at all, even if prosecutors and gryph chargers are amazing models. I'm sure I'll come around to the designs once everything is laid out, the waiting is getting to me lads and lasses 😩 GW really has been killing it with the designs even if the other parts of AOS don't feel as supported Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killamike Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 I'm pretty low key excited that we might be close to a stormcast refresh. Bring on that battletome update. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gotz Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 one thing is sure, if we get 3.0 this summer, Stormcast battletome is going to follow immediately after. Lets hope it puts some order on the rooster. I kind of like chunky space marines designs (dreadnoughts, centurions, aggressors,etc) so I would welcome this stuff for Stormcast ^^U Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lare2 Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Bretonian Stormcast... chunky Stormcast. I'd be happy with either. It's funny how your tastes change. When Stormcast first came out, I didn't really care for them. Didn't hate them mind - just thought meh. Nowadays though, can't get enough of them and I'm sure whatever GW have planned, the basic premise of Stormcast models means they'll be alright. I've been slowly amassing a vast Stormhost via Mortal Realms and I'm ample certain AoS 3.0 will see Sigmar's finest be my primary army. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJetski Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Cathay makes more sense than Bretonnia. They have astromancers that use Heavens magic, they fight Chaos and Hobgoblins, they summon meteors, they use dragons and lions in their iconography, and they ride gold dragons into battle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can easily imagine this guy as a Reforged heavy hitter to keep Gordrakk/Kragnos Waaagh out of Azyr 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommissarRotke Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 We also got this cryptic post from Whitefang which nudges @PJetski's idea a bit more. And one of Cathay's main enemies is hobgoblins from the steppe... curiouser and curiouser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommissarRotke Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 still not coming up there but i think @baiardo reposted it and that actually showed up. the second half makes sense, but the first? GW squatting Empire Knights for Stormcast?? "mix of Relictor and bladeguard" so they look like the Sequitors we already have? i'm really wondering how much of this is Order of Azyr vs actual Stormcast 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
