Still-young Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Hot damn. I’ve never been more than ‘slightly miffed’ about Bretonnia not being a thing any more, but those models are excellent. They’re busy, but in a way I’d expect pompous arrogant Knights to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, I am currently painting blood pass miners and they are simple yet I like them a lot, very effective design in my book. As the poster above me says, those brets seem a tad too much for me. Yeah i feel like this aswel. Its not that i hate every non GW model but these are way to much for me i ques. not the most populair oppinion it seems. Ive seen some of these lost kingdom lizardmen in IRL and they just didnt do it for me. Where others loved it. I know some of the models from GW are over the top aswel but not in the way these models are. But im glad others like them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremym Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 to each their own, but if age of sigmar wasn't ridiculous with its sculpts and model range, it wouldn't have grabbed my interest 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a Death faction- very Black Knights/skeletons -maybe a Vamp army after all . Love those Lost Kingdom knights - could see GW doing something similarly epic if they ever get back to Brettonia.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does suggest undead and quite possibly something Deathrattle-inspired. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnholyRevenant Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Is it just me or does the bone totem carried by the spider grots on Decembers issue of White Dwarf have similarities to the as yet undisclosed underworld band. Without the image to hand i believe it was April's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neverchosen Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 (edited) I am feeling more and more like this is an update and revamp of the Legions of Nagash concept. Although with some redundancies between related factions likely being dropped e.g. likely the update will retain LoN exclusive units and cede units like spirit hosts and morghasts to their respective new armies*. We had a silhouette that seemed to indicate an update to zombies, various rapier looking blades including one image that some people interpreted as having fang marks, there was that pelt and leg which both might hint towards werewolves, and now a banner that looks closely linked to various skeletal units. The crows and rats also seem very likely to be a scenic element on new death models. I feel maybe the focus will be shifted back to an older and classic Vampire Count/Halloween themed army. Some other options are of course, Underworlds, Warcry or a Warhammer Quest may include death factions which are making the rumour engines a little more complicated to untie (Underworlds are certainly getting a death update and there was a rumour engine with a OBR looking weapon).*Maybe they can retain many of these units in a 1/4 per sub-faction rule ala.

Clan's Cynic Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 As doubtful as I am, GW suddenly going "Aha, we saw all you sceptics about Legions of Nagash and Cities of Sigmar being squat'ed, well here you go! New LoN/CoS models just for you!" would both surprise and please me greatly. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Templar_Lad Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Jolly good spot on that banner. Trying to contain my hype for the possibility of a Soulblight/Deadwalker revamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaylorCorvette Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Well they posted an article on the warhammer community about the FAQ's that have already been posted today, so my guess is that is all they are doing (at least today).

Scurvydog Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 That they even post an article and completely ignore the elephant in the room about AoS is really poor form. Obviously they must know their AoS players are waiting for this and they do not address this at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at how the releases under lockdown were handled, all the aos stuff got shoved back so the 40k stuff could land as close to schedule as possible. The app is another good example, the updates on the aos app have seen a significant delay since the 40k app came out (and has needed a lot of work to get up to par) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if anyone mentioned it as I didn't read everything, but this banner kinda looks like it's made out of skin. Like there is even a vein looking thing on the left. That would also explain why there is no iconography/image on it AND fit deadwalkers/vampires very nicely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GW confuse me so much sometimes. GW perfected the way to build up hype, sometimes it feels they are using confusion as a marketing tool, which is perfectly understandable for new product releases. But the lack of transparency is not cool when it comes to these rules updates/faqs. Even if it is not on purpose, it sends the message they don't care with ppl who are here (at least partially) for the wargaming aspect of the hobby. I recall stg similar happened in the summer. The ghb was out, but the point changes for the new books were not posted for about 2 weeks. And while ppl were waiting for the news, in the meantime GW were posting every day on facebook stuff like tell us what is cooler, an angry dwarf or a big spider. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
