SuperHappyTime Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Gotta think you stay with the realm matchups, and fighting against Chaos: Fyreslayers vs Khorne (Fire) KO vs Tzeentch (Metal) Sylvaneth vs Nurgle (Life) Nagash vs Skaven (Death) Idoneth vs Slaanesh (Light) Daughters vs Slaves to Darkness (Shadow) Ironjawz vs Beasts of Chaos (Beasts) Inevitably, the next Starter is likely to be a new Destruction Force vs Stormcast designed to fight them.

This is basically what I thought too though slaanesh could be moved to Ulgu (there is hints slaanesh took over Hysh but thus far the only solid lore puts them in Ulgu). I'd love to see some non-Chaos boxes too but they generally do the best job as the enemy to fight against. Another alternative would be to create some proper rivalries between factions (not necessarily relying on old ones). Especially if they are focused around the Free Cities to build up their lore and provide and idea of who the main enemies in each area are. You could have Slyvaneth against a Greywater Fastness force which fits with the Malign Portents lore that has come out and maybe a Nurgle Vs Living City or Hallowheart Vs Tzeentch.

But other than that a Kharadron Overlords vs Skryre/Skaven would be absolutely awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beliman Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Kharadrons Overlords vs Grotbag Scuttlers New rules for vehicles (and maybe flyers). And everybody is waiting for Karak Eight Peaks round 2 (this time with less skavens and more clouds)!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaKennyThing Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Untamed Wilds (Beasts of Chaos vs Wanderers) Great Bray Shaman 10 Ungor Raiders 10 Ungors 10 Bestigors New Beastlord Model New Named Female Waywatcher Model 20 Glade Guard 10 Sisters of the Watch 10 Eternal Guard The idea is to have a mainly melee army vs mainly a shooting army, and to have some female models floating around on the part of the Wanderers. Give the new Waywatcher a command ability and the like, and an awesome pose. Legions of the Damned Legions of Nagash vs Slaves to Darkness 20 Skeleton Warriors 20 Skeleton Warriors Necromancer 5 Black Knights New Mounted Wight King Model New Chaos Lord on Daemonic Mount 5 Chaos Knights 10 Chaos Warriors 20 Marauders Basically a war between a dead city and Chaos, each with mounted leaders. Comprising mainly old models, GW could cram loads in whilst giving a new LoN player a solid start on an army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirjava13 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 The realm-themed box is definitely a good idea, so stick with that. I think also using it in the same way as 40K is doing- i.e. taking it as an opportunity to put a new character model out there- would be a good idea, so maybe taking factions that has lots of good plastics and some resin kits that need redoing would be the way forward. Seraphon- you could chuck out a new Slann or Saurus hero on foot alongside some existing Saurus Warriors, Skinks or Temple Guard. Wanderers- a new Nomad Prince or Waystrider or Spellweaver plus Glade Guard, Wild Riders, whatever. Beasts of Chaos- Gors, Bulgors, a shiny new Beastlord. And so on.

Murder Pancake Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I would like to see Path to Glory get some of the Kill Team treatment; smaller sets that contain a warband or two, and some realm specific terrain. Realm themed sets in general would be nice to have. As a personal wishlist, I'd love to see something like Beasts of Chaos vs Wanderers/Sylvaneth, if nothing else because it'd be a box I keep all to myself for fabulous goats and Exodite conversions. It could also be a good means of adding in a new Beast hero, since most of these boxes tend to have at least one new model per faction/alt sculpts etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realm themed sets in general would be nice to have. Never thought of that. I think GW should really promote path to glory. I currently feel that most players sadly ignore those rules when flipping through their Battletomes (especially since it is in the middle of allegiance abilities and warscrolls). The problem though is that I think GW doesn't want to "compete" with itself on Shadespire for fantasy skirmish (yes aos skirmish exists..but it is not 40k Kill Team for sure). On the topic of rivalries, do you think Fyreslayers vs Beastclaw Raiders is a thing? Fire vs Ice seems like a catchy theme even if ogres vs dwarfs isn't typical warhammer.

ManlyMuppet88 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I like the idea of realm themed boxes. It’d be nice to have some scenery included in them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlackHood157 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 It would be cool to see a set of sylvaneth vs nighthaunt or some other death faction, maybe giving actual gravesite models for legions of nagash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Waltz Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Another vote for Wanderer's vs Beasts. They seem to tick all of the boxes for this kind of starter set; any terrain included applies to both races, they both have existing plastic kits that hold up and both are in need of new hero models (which the set would provide). Failing that a set with opposing factions that can realistically ally with each other. Wrath and Rapture seems like a fantastic step in that sort of direction (at least it's the same grand alliance). Daughters vs Deepkin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have a bit of hope to see a new rework/battletome/whatever to fix them. And a new box could be the best time to do it btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gash Bauer Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I wouldn't mind seeing Slaanesh and Skaven seeing as there's a new member of the pantheon, and one liable to come back soon wondering if Khorne left his door open so the rats could get in. There is a slight precedent for a single allegiance box with this new realm of chaos release, but I won't get my hopes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
