Shankelton Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 (edited) 1 hour ago, Neverchosen said: I have said it before and I will say it again, but I hope that Dispossessed will have a split focus between traditional Duardin and new Ghloemkind models. Personally, I would like them to be distinguished between sub-factions dedicated to Grungi and Valaya. I think the Dispossessed side of the army being female worshipers of an ancestor goddess would be particularly cool and give the faction a more unique identity while still giving the current city duardin a disctinct visual identity as well. But overall, I am up for some Duardin love in any guise. I welcome an AoS spin on traditionally dwarves for sure. So long as it's evocative to dwarves in the old world setting, like LrL are to highelves, and it focus's on Grugni and Valaya. Home and Hearth, Creation and Craftsmanship. Those are the core tenants I want to see in new Dawi. We already have KO for the Dawi that embraced innovation, and the fyreslayers that embraced martial prowess and oathkeeping. I desperately want my civilization building dwarves, whos mastery of creation and desire to return to glorious mastery are rivaled only by their unwillingness to embrace change. :edit typo Edited April 9, 2021 by Shankelton 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inside of it however there is an army of Cog-Scarabs with knives for legs and a Cog Golem. One-Eye destroyed them however. Loved this story, it's why I envision the Ghloemkind like the Dwemer Constructs of the Elder Scrolls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph Mackay Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 In regards to Dispossessed, my hope is they keep the 4 current kits (Hammerers/Longbeards, Ironbreakers/Irondrakes, Warden King and Runelord) and expand on these, while also adding like golem creatures as a subfaction (in the same manner as Gloomspite has Troggoths, Moonclan etc) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do recall a line of lore about Grugni, that he abandoned/restrained from helping the Dawi in the age of chaos because he wanted to see his people advance. To find their own way. It surmised that the Kharadron are Grugni's dream realized of a dwarven people who adapted from tradition to excel. The trade off being that most KO usually spit on Grugni's name for his actions on their ancestors in the age of chaos. They're now a very "atheist" people so to say, as they got themselves out of trouble. Not any good. Has me wondering if we would see Grugni's faction be that marriage of old and new in the higher tech constructs. Or if it would be a return to tradition. I'd love to see some kind of mix of KO tech with dwarven traditional masterwork. Solid and stout, but techy/ advanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urauloth Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 I always want to type a "B" in "SGL" and I have to remind myself that "Soulblight" is one word so it's not really right to initialize it that way. "SBGL" feels better though. It has a dark power, an evil lure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greyshadow Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 (edited) Just got told by my local GW store staff that Cursed City is only going to be done as a single production run. Once sold out then that's it apparently . If you really want it then perhaps don't hold off too long. There were quite a few copies on the shelf at my store in Australia. Also was told that it was far more popular than expected. Edited April 10, 2021 by Greyshadow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are probably just trying to encourage people to buy now. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Svalack Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 My local store in the UK said it has been added as part of the regular range and is not limited. All the previous iterations of whq have been the same. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are hardly ever better informed than what you can read on the WHC blog, and they have definitely no insight into what is or is not limited edition - unless that is public knowledge anyway.

Greyshadow Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 (edited) Hi Darnok, long time no see! Yes, well I am a wargaming grognard and am aware of the unreliableness you speak of. Thing is, the guy who runs my local is as honest and nice a bloke as you will ever meet. He fully admits he has no idea most of the time. Judging by the comments from @Sleepers, someone from head office has told Australian managers that there isn't going to be a second run of Cursed City. I'd already pre-ordered so there was no pushiness too. (We used to have a big problem with pushy sales people at GW in the 1990s and 2000s I might add). I am not saying this information is correct, perhaps someone in the Sydney HQ has got their wires crossed, especially given @Svalack's post?

We've got to be pretty close to the release of both Be'Lakor and Gravelords at this point if they are not just marking the models as unavailable, but fully removing them from the store. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svalack Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I'm still seeing conflicted news. GW aren't confirming anything it seems. Dark sphere which is one of the bigger set of UK stores said 3 days ago no additional runs are planned yet my local lincs store yesterday said its been added to the standard range 🤷♂️. I guess we just have to wait . Anyone else in the UK have any news from their store? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be that there are logistical issues getting all the components reproduced as its not just models, there's all the cardboard elements etc.. Blackstone is still available so I don't see why they wouldn't work to produce more stock of Cursed City, unless Cursed City is waaayy more popular than Blackstone.

That would kind of be bizarro world logic, right? Not making additional production runs of Cured City because it's too popular? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abbreviation is fine, but not when it confuses people. Also, I'll reiterate that we really could use a mouse-over/hover way to include known terms and pop up references. This site is so, so good, and so welcoming, but this is an area where it could get better. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollowHills Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I honestly can't see why they wouldn't reprint it. Blackstone fortress is still around even now right? Plus they will want to sell expansions for cursed city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojojojo101 Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Obviously I have no real evidence for this but I suspect that logistical issues mean GW is being incredibly cautious about telling retailers that there will be more Cursed City because they just aren't exactly sure when they can actually deliver. I do expect there to be more but sometimes it is just easier and attracts less ill-feeling in the end to just say as little as possible. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
