Overread Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 3 hours ago, Beastmaster said: Aren’t the books made in China? It's my understanding that the vast bulk of printing of books happens in China/Asia and that region. Basically not just GW but a huge part of the book printing industry is manufactured over there. I believe GW has considered making purchases of their own card printing machinery, but I don't think they've invested into it. So all their cards, boxes, books, battletomes etc... all comes in big container shipments from China. In addition we get terrain and endless spells produced over there as well and, again, sent in big shipments. The result is any disruption to that system can put things in limbo. I think that with China's factories back online and GW's lag on orders chances are the ymight not actually be all that affected by it. They've likely got their block for several months already in hand. Plus with the lockdown GW's releases from themselves are months backlogged so any shutdown in china is likely something that wont' hurt them. The real issue would be running out of things like packaging and suchlike. Though I would wager they've likely taken estimations and placed orders so that when they restart they've got bulk orders of them to allow them to facilitate restarting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuminethMage Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Lumineth River sub-faction! 🤪 Sorry, still caught in lack-of-new-information hallucinations. Yeah, Idoneth would make sense.

Just add rules to the existing city generator that was on Warhammer Community. And of course, add batallions! One battallion for each subfaction, to be used in whatever city you like. And clarify whether battallions from an included faction (Kharadron, Sylvaneth, Stormcast) can be included as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incineroar87 Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Maybe we will see Embailors with sea creatures soon, they have been mentioned heavily in the battletome, lore and novels heavily. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kronos Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) I feel this crab will be much like Teclis’ tree, yes part of the model but in no way related to the actual whole piece. As fun as the engine can be sometimes I do miss things like silhouettes or jigsaws in the way FW used reveal nearing on xmas. Either way my money is an Idoneth spell or Idoneth Warband.

A big angry crab could be fun but it dosen t scream Idoneth to me. I was thinking about this, and decided I would love to have Namarti associated with crustaceans. Maybe representing the beasts of burden used by the lay people (farmers, builders, traders) before they had to militarize them in response to the Necroquake. In any case, I hope they really lean into the class dynamics between Namarti, Akhellian, and Isharann for the next Battletome, I think that’s an area ripe with conflict, compromises and exceptions to the rule to be explored. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black_Templar_Lad Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 What do you think it could be on the Krakeneater though? Tbh it doesn't seem like an alt arm build to me, it looks a lot less detailed than it should be for a full arm. Just an added accessory perhaps like the tentacle on his belt? Excited to find out though, vampire pirate bit af! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neverchosen Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 What I see: New Idoneth crab model. As someone that just got into the faction this will be impossible as that is not how my luck works. What it will be: 40K monster throw back like the Zoat. Or misc. detail on Kraken Eater. What I hope: New Lumineth crab hat! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excited to find out though, vampire pirate bit af! Yeah my guess is it's some kind of accessory, could be tied around the belt like you mentiomed with the tentacle. Could even be strapped to a vambrace or maybe a shinguard or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
