Greasygeek Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 4 hours ago, SunStorm said: My guess will be that it might mirror the Silver Tower release, that introduced the new Tzeentch stuff before they got a full army book. Can anybody remember how long that was? And if they had warscrolls for the Silver Tower kits prior to the army book? My memory might fail me on some of this but but I think I recall Silvertower being released somewhere like june or july. Then a few month later Tzaangors were introduced to 40k and by december/January Disciples of Tzeentch was released. So 6-7 month later. But AOS was very young and unstructured at the time, so Im not sure GW will go for that same release plan yet again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see both the werewolf and bat themes played up on with the different bloodlines, that would be just the coolest. If were going by Bram Stoker, Dracula(and other vampires descended from him) can turn into mist, bats, a wolves.

Eldarain Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Can't wait for Cursed City. Couldn't be any more perfectly aligned with what I was hoping for. I've been on a strict no purchases only work from the backlog for some time now. However if the Gravelords are a Gothic Horror/Monsters faction that can be played with Elite builds (so burnt out on Hordes) I'll happily sell some old projects to dive in. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icarion Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) Its important to note that the LRL battletome describes zenith in a fair amount of detail. It's also described as the "perimeter inimical" and is basically the edge in any direction of a "realm." Of course this means the highest part of the sky, before you reach the aetheric void, but it also encompasses the horizontal "edge" that one could theoretically walk too. In fact, Tyrion did walk to the Zenith, It blinded him, and that's when he met a/the light spirit. He didn't fly up into the sky to reach the zenith, he was able to walk there. Much like realm magic is weakest at the center of a realm and strongest at the edge, the "illumination" radiating from Hysh, comes from the perimeter inimical. SO Zenith in Hysh isn't so much the sun, or even sky, but light itself. They are one and the same.

The Zenith is the point that is directly above the observer on a celestial body in opposition to the gravitational pull or a 90 degree angle above the astronomical horizon, thus the Sun reaches the Zenith at high noon...

Yup, pretty much fits with what we know (with the addition Athrawes mentioned). In the Battletome and the WarCom article they mention that zenith temples are by far the rarest. In found the reason in the battletome pretty good - because an aspiring aelementiri must communicate with an aelementor, it's much easier to hear a voice in the sound of a river or wind. than in light itself. And if you look at the example tests that the students have to go through before they are accepted, for zenith it likely means going very close to edge of the world where even Tyrion could barely survive. So you can imagine that those who manage and survive all that are pretty rare and powerful. I think in the Battletome it says a zenith mage is as strong as a Spirit (but I don't have the book in front of me and might misremember that). We also know that they can become incorporeal, which could mean we see more units like the Light of Eltharion, or something more like the angel elves people have been waiting for if we ever get a zenith temple. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonnenspeer Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 That's what is really crazy about Lumineth. You could go full Vanari, mix Vanari with wind or mountain temple, or just wait, because maybe river temple is all you ever wanted. What, maybe super powerful zenith mages are coming?

They referred the 'boss' as 'wulf' at the end of the trailer. So my guess would be, that the endboss could be kind of Vampire-Model shape shifting in werewolf or bat (multiple models like Morathi). Combining the rumour engine pics of the werewolfy leg and the bat-thing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have the Rumour Engine of the Wolf Pelt across the shoulder which matches his art from the trailer and then the 2 canine like legs, so perhaps he has a Mortal form and then his Lycan form much like Morathi!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the WHQ : Cursed City Undead range will provide a good indication of what the design direction for SBGL will be (we've seen at least some gothic armored Skeletons and AOSified Zombies in the trailer). Personnal guess : given the recent WD article about Godbeasts which mentioned a vampire bloodline springing from some kind of super werewolve, we'll get a new official bloodline, the Vyrkos, who are.... WEREWOLVES-VAMPIRES (the leader of the baddies will be from that bloodline IMO, he's called Wolf in the trailer and he is most probably a vampire too). BTW that Godbeast article came instead of the last AOS Timeline article, centered on the Age of Sigmar itself (the era, not the game). I guess it contains REVELATIONS about the future of Broken Realm they didn't want us to read too soon Hort a late reply but as soon as I saw this message I was so damn excited. Maybe it's because I've been playing to much BloodBorne and Powerwolf but I've been planning Death worshipping Norse for a while with wolf elements. I still have Skin Wolves waiting to be assembled. This would be a dream come true, and would be such a cool addition for Death. Was that WD article in the Spiderfang issue? If you don't mind me asking haha. I wonder if the 'Wolf' fella will have a dual model like Morathi, perhaps his normal form and a transformed form when either he takes too much damage or certain requirements are met through the game. That would be awesome. Edited January 28, 2021 by Black_Templar_Lad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't even notice this, really good spot mate. We really getting Lycans huh. Well, the hype train really has no brakes now. Just look at that Undead Halberdier, complete with eye patch, something straight out of Demon's Souls. God this may well be my favourite box set GW have ever done. I'd buy it just for the 2 minis revealed alone, but there seems to be SO much to look forward to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I did listen to "Army of the night" after the Cursed city reveal Artworks we have of Wolf show him like some Russian warlord from around 1600, so I also thought he probably will have a werewolf option ! The other lupine/ vampiric looking dudes are probably Acolytes to Wolf. They could belong to that new Vampire Bloodline, the ferocious Vyrkos... The WD article about Godbeasts is WD n°460 (so the one after the Spiderfang issue, who contains the Age of Chaos timeline), p. 13 : Quote Hrunspuul, the Hound of the Cairns, who folklore claims bestowed the curse of unlife upon the first of the ferocious Vyrkos vampires. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WE DRINK YOUR BLOOD .. oops Going by the format (8 Explorers and 5 Undead overlords + minions announced), the release looks similar to BSF. So one big boxe to start. But God I hope we'll get expansions ! More Explorers would be great. I'm already glad we'll get three "Cities of Sigmar / Azyrites" normal humans in the first batch, aka the Vampire Hunter, the Celestial Mage / Priestess, the Paladin 😍 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be absolutely great and a perfect place to introduce those Chamonite people !!! Though, going by the trailer artwork (from the back, yeah) I still think it looks more like an Ogor, an Orruk or a very big and burly Barbarian... But a Clockwork Golem would also be a good equivalence with the beep-boop Man Of Iron Imperial Robot from Blackstone Fortress. Given the breadth of the AOS universe, I found myself more and more drawn to such "exotic", colorful and interesting new concepts or variations on classical WFB and 40k themes. That's why I loved Silver Tower, and why I almost got Beastgrave for the Kurnothi alone.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
