Baron Klatz Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Ditto, for a small update last year would've been perfect to keep it in-line with all the other updated first-draft tomes and have the Seraphon focus on the Soul Wars living spells which would've fit with their magic specialty nature of commanding those eldritch natural disasters for a greater purpose. With the new Ghur focus it feels hopeful for a Gloomspite-level revamp to go along with the new models and plots. Less mystical cosmos focus and more putting ferocious warriors on the ground to match the tone. We'll have to see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the old world humans were in every flavour. Every race and creed.in aos we have chaos humans and the few sets remaining of the free guild.thats it. It is a tragedy that give years down the line aos still doesn't have a human faction. Stormcast eternals are the hollowest of all. I agree with this. There are no new human factions, only some old stuff that was thrown into cities of sigmar to give WHFB players a bone. Stormcast are super vanilla and uninspiring. Some new and unique human factions that aren't infected by Chaos would be very nice to see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alghero81 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 1h right? Time for bed for me but I’ll wake up early to check it. In one of the podcasts dedicated to Warcry they mentioned that humans dedicated to chaos in a fashion or another outnumber the “order” ones in the order of millions. In saying that I don’t see why a new human faction should contain only humans, it could really well be a cities force or represent a specific empire or culture multiracial. My bet would be that this is something they may explore with an expansion of Warcry or Warhammer Underworld. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smartazjb0y Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 The Eltharion model is probably my favorite new model in a long time. And the Lumineth Realm-lords look like very classic elves haha, I bet a lot of WHFB would like the aesthetic 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmac Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 So after all this time, Seraphon get...a terrain piece. Wonderful. I'm not really surprised, given the lack of a single convincing Seraphon rumor engine, but I'm still sad about it. On the plus side, New Light Aelves look fantastic, though the idea of transporting Teclis there worries me a little. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bregor Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I'm just happy that Seraphon are finally getting updated, even if they have to share the spotlight (well, it will be stolen) with Yet Another Terrible Elf Faction (no a). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icarion Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 (edited) Wonderful stuff for the Lumineth. Eltharion and his hallow armor are incredible, from concept to execution. I also like that elves have a common faction naming factor. Idoneth Syvaneth Lumineth Finally, it all looks like a great re imagining of High elves. I expect a few new generic heroes to go with this, and maybe the spearmen or cavalry are multipart. For the heroes, we still don't now what model the elven "antler" goes to, so I expect it to be for the generic Army leader characters mount. Also, no Tyrion, so these seem to be Teclis' boys and girls. Edited January 24, 2020 by Athrawes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neverchosen Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Well folks, I guess that I get my wish for an Aelven Cavalry army. I dunno how I will be able to afford it, but I am excited. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaliontil Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 When I saw the Eltharion model in the trailer I thought it could be Tyrion, but bringing him back is a great nod to the High Elves. Love the concept, love the models, hate the pain I'm gonna cause to my wallet. And, as someone posted before, I think Tyrion will probably come later with a "New chamber" for the army.

Most of the rumor engines that seemed aelf related dont appear to be used anywhere here, so I think its safe to say we will at least get a generic mage and Lord on mount (the antler rumor engine comes to mind here) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trolemon Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Seraphon terrain is great and all but it makes that terrain the only thing they've gotten for all of AoS. Hoping there's more up their sleeves, like Endless Spells and at least one new sculpt. Tzeentch spells weren't shown in the Christmas preview ao I can see this happening.

The art is awesome....but it further exaggerates how bad the basic Saurus and Saurus Knights look. With just that and Kroxigors I think they could do wonders for the range. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picture has the old finecast Slaan, which had to be on the short list of remade heroes if they were actually getting even one new model, I'm not getting my hopes up. I mean, I guess this means I don't have to devote any painting time to Seraphon before I start on Pointy Aelves but I really, really, wanted some new Saurus models that didn't look completely embarrassing. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
