I mean the 8 wound current warscroll, doesn’t do this justice. Since he's now the size of a greater demon (if you look at the bloodletters) I think he'll go up in power beyond all of the current greater demons in certain ways. I use him quite often in friendly games. and he's never not a pain in the ass for my opponents. some mortal wounds will obviously erase him quickly. Unlike ethereal units he can improve his save while still ignoring rend (which is a skill I hope they keep + add some mortal wound protection). The dark master ability is also pretty strong since with some luck you can severely cripple your opponents biggest baddy for a whole round.

rosa Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I would prefer if we get 2 Warscrolls... One as the old version, which is totally fine rulewise. Especially for a 240?! points model. One could use the older Finecast model to play him. And then the new pumped up version Warscroll for the new model which will be like 400-500 points and does the new model and size justice.

yukishiro1 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) Meh, not a fan of the size. But for whatever reason (cough cough who am I kidding, $$$ is the reason), there seems to be a clear design instruction that every faction has to have a big named centerpiece model now. Oh well, I guess it's less temptation. Edited March 8, 2021 by yukishiro1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Celestant-Prime - despite being really underpowered for what it is - is probably the closest we’ll get to seeing to Siggy Diggy on the battlefield itself. Same for Gordrakk and Gorkamorka.

At least the old one is the same size as a Daemon Prince, so he is still usable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between Goddess Morathi, Sigvald, Lumineth HatLords and now Be'Lakor, Ol' Man Sigmar had to go back to the drawing board and open the High Fashion Chamber before he can realistically take to the field... In all seriousness would Sigmar come with Dracothion or just as a big Ol' Stormcast model? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smaug-Sized on Dracothion 😍 Srsly though: both would need to be separate. Also if Sigmar ever joined the fray, his rules would almost certainly be underwhelming. I‘d rather him empower the Celestant prime. Edited March 8, 2021 by JackStreicher 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJetski Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Unlike the weak baby elf wizard nerds, Sigmar would be a single model the size of Nagash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will probably be one warscroll and you have to deal with Changes like with Morathi's 3 shes had in the last year. The premise of his broken realm seems to be his long game is finally coming to fruition and his masterplan is here. So probably getting a big buff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaleb Daark Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) Wouldn’t it be hilarious if the newborn was actually Bela who had been sitting it out in the ‘nesh tummy resort and whispering sweet nothings to morathi as she popped over for a midnight fridge raid!

KingBrodd Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Who ever designed Belakor deserves recognition on a scale outside of the Warhammer community.

Wraith Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 1 hour ago, Dankboss said: Unfortunately that won't happen. It is not without precedent. Legions of Nagash got to keep the old warscroll and mini for the Black Coach after the new Nighthaunt version came out. No doubt the old ‘Legion’ Black Coach will disappear when the LoN battletome is replaced (one of the last AoS v1.0 battletomes left). Not saying that there will be an old STD Be’lakor and a new Chaos Ascendent Be’lakor. Just saying such a thing is not without precedent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingBrodd Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 My hype and anticipation for 3.0 keeps building when I think about Destruction!! Gloomspite had a revamp in 2019 and then the Sons dropped at the end of 2020. Besides a few Underworlds Warbands and a Tyrant for Mawtribes, that's really all they've recieved. I cannot wait to see what's in store for them!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojojojo101 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 New Be'lakor model is awesome, particularly big fan of the posing of the lower half of his body and his base. I wonder what his army will end up looking like, an expansion to the Legion of Chaos Ascendant maybe? What I find interesting about the article is that every reference to Broken Realms: Be'lakor refers to it as the NEXT book in the series, it just seems like an odd way to word that considering we still don't even have a release date for BR: Teclis yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks my friend, It is a really awesome model and I cannot wait to see the magic @JackStreicher works on Be'Lakor... whereas mine will likely need a comedic level of moody lighting and vaseline on the lens to pass as an acceptable paintjob. It will still probably be the coolest model in my collection which is saying something as the proud owner of a 'new' Beastclaw army. I am really hoping that he will be playable in Slaves to Darkness but as I said already there are some very easy work arounds on that matter and he will find his way to the tabletop either way. I just imagine that in a years time I will have a bunch of grey plastic demons waiting for some paint.

It is important to remember that "Gods" in this setting aren't nearly as powerful as you'd often think. Katakros held his own against Sigmar himself in a duel, and not even Gal Maraz could permamently slay him. I don't think there's anything in the lore that says Sigmar is any more powerful than Nagash, Teclis, Tyrion, Alarielle, etc., all of whom have playable models. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that one really needs Kairos to accompany him ( the Mortal Realm’s ultimate trolling duo). And doing all that blending of colours on the feathers is quite tricky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
