It's the LoN terrain piece! The Throne of Nagash, so he can sit down and rest during the battle. Edited May 23, 2019 by Platypus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am expecting at least a wizard warband and a long range one. The 3rd one I don't know, à warband inflictingvdamage to themselves to push their damage output to 11? Wizards could be either illusion manipulation of Ulgu or bright magic from Hysh, although Ulgu would fare better as assassin oriented. Truth is we don’t know much about Hysh as it stands... Immolating warband I’m not sure but with a Death theme you can play a lot, from calling the souls of your ancestors to aid you in battle to bravery based mechanics since we don’t know how the game will be played...

pseudonyme Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I would focus more on the archétypes than on the realms, even if there is a strong possibility they went down that road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenX Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 So far they have made a point of calling out the specific realm each has been from and talked about how that has affected their culture/flavor. I would be surprised for them to break with this on the last few chaos bands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenX Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 (edited) Azyr, Aqshy, Ulgu, Shyish, and Hysh are not represented. I doubt we will get Azyr, although I would love it if they made la corrupt civilization themed warband from Azyr. I'm also inclined to think we won't be getting Hysh. This would put the remaining three bands as being from Aqshy, Ulgu, and Shyish. Edited May 23, 2019 by CitizenX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyB Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Wasn't there a pretty extensive rumour about what Warcry was going to be a while ago that seemed to be right and said there would be no magic in the base game? I think that probably sounds right and then we'll get a kill team style expansion to add magic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, sure, but: 8 mortal realms, excluding Azyr, still make 7 mortal realms for 6 chaos warbands. Did I miss some information on the realms the chaos warbands are coming from ?

Also, I would have said that Ghyran, Aqshy and Ghur were the most eligible Realms NOT to have a gang, because at the end of the Realmgates Wars their three All-Gates were closed (well, one just left, but yeah). But we already have Ghur and Ghyran related war bands, so... Maybe Hysh - even if it's infested by Slaanesh and surely Tzeentch too - won't get a gang, to tie in with the Light Aelves new narrative arc ?

Rogue Explorator Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Personally, I think they might have one tribe hailing from both Hysh and Ulgu, as it would play well with the duality of those two Realms. But if they entirely leave one out I think it'll be Hysh. Though according to the 2nd edition rulebook that Realm is actually pretty badly corrupted and thus should have a warband, it is also the Realm GW has been most reluctant to show, propably saving it up for something major, so it stands to reason they'd play it close to the chest this time as well.

alghero81 Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I agree Hysh would make more sense to be left out than the others but I don’t know why I have a feeling is not the one being sacrificed... none of the remaining three icons inspires me fire...

What makes you believe that (I mean something from the seminar for example ?) I wouldn't mind at all a game set in the Age Of Chaos, but seing that it's called "Warhammer Age Of Sigmar : Warcry", that'd be strange. Also, with all the other non Chaos warbands available, including a clearly Azyrite faction (Stormcast or Devoted), I don't see how the game could be set during the time the Gates of Azyr were closed. Or the Idoneth hidden. I think the game will reflect the general Path to Glory Chaos way of life, and the fact Archaon is assembling an army to strike back at Nagash and Sigmar.

Well and for the other factions' participation, then ? Also the Varanguard recruitment is an ongoing procedure, nothing that links it to a particular Age. It's the chaos way of life. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectricPaladin Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Hm. You're probably right. I can't seem to find the thing I thought I'd seen before, so perhaps it doesn't exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alghero81 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 To be fair there’s so many realmgates today that travelling to the Allpoint may not be too hard... and the necroquake could have opened new ways to reach the allpoint, maybe one way only to avoid Chaos invading from there. There’s already few one way realmgates in the lore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
