Ouuuuuuu we are getting a centrepiece 😙 . I indeed did have hopes after seeing this, but also seems like it’s a quote from the battle tome, so maybe he will forever be trapped in obscure lore really wanted a mysterious hero to make it on the table top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaylorCorvette Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Unfortunately I do not think we are going to get a special Vampire Lord on Zombie Dragon model other than what we have right now that can be Prince Vhordrai. If we get a special center piece model I suspect it would be something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganigumo Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 1 hour ago, KingBrodd said: I'm still of the opinion that Kragnos is going to be the leader of a new Faction of Destruction aligned Ogroids. More Ogroids would be awesome, those models are amazing! Lorewise though the Ogroids used to be destruction and picked a fight with gorkamorka, but when they lost instead of accepting defeat they turned to the dark gods for the strength to triumph so Gorkamorka kicked them out and the forces of destruction annihilated them with the survivors being driven back into the chaos tainted lands. That story would fit somewhat with what we know about kragnos though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPjr Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) getting big Varanguard price vibes off though vampire knights (also interesting in that article they linked to that insect-like Vampire lady they showed off a few weeks ago, I was thinking with whatever the hell has happened to Cursed City there was a chance that she & rat boy might have got quietly shelved)... Anyway just finished reading BR: Teclis, and can't believe what they did to my beautiful boney boys but as for Soulblight making some kind of play whilst Nagash lays up, they didn't whilst he was even more comprehensively rekt by Archaon so I imagine they'll just continue to try ****** each other over. Also now I've seen that banner pic of Kragnos brightened up I'm more convinced he's some kind of Kurnothi'esque centrepiece, whilst BoC would make a lot of sense and be cool to see them given a bit of love, he looks (to me at least) more like a more bestial, rage fuelled avatar of life. But mainly as having just read BR Teclis that would then obviously tie in to every single thing that came out of Alarielle's mouth in that book, I mean they didn't exactly go subtle mode there. Anyway we shall see... Edited April 20, 2021 by JPjr 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is Kragnos, it turns out he’s a red head...I’m not saying he’s Kurnothi but it very difficult not to draw comparisons. Red mane? Emerald ornaments? Kurnothi through and through, I am beyond delighted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an oversaturated image, I don't think it indicates anything. A red mane is present in a lot of factions, e.g. Bonesplitterz, and the Kurnothi don't wear any Emerald ornaments. 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagged Red Lines Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) I've just finished painting a unit of chaos knights and these blood knights seem very similar in their design. Edited April 20, 2021 by Jagged Red Lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefferson Skarsnik Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Enjoying the transfer-style speculation about Kragnos He'll join Kurnothi, he's been a fan of them since he was a kid! None of the Chaos lot can afford his wages under FFP with how bloated their squads are, and he's not going to sign for Death if they can't currently offer him regular inter-realm warfare 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you should say that. Because the (old) Chaos Knights made a fantastic foundation for my "Khorne Vampire Knights" (proxy for Chaos Knights in my Khorne Vampire army). Now I have to decide if I am going to get the new Blood Knights or use these guys.... What am I saying, of course I'll buy the new Blood Knights, they're beautiful. However I do love these guys too.

Me-dude-sa Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Man, Kragnos's art reveal has only made the allegiance debate more tense. Now the only thing that's certain is the reveal will leave a good chunk of people frustrated, I just hope every team has fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachmani Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 A possibly stupid question, but do we know if the Grand Alliances will survive the upcoming 3.0 release? At least in its current form(s). More and more imho points towards a major shakeup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitefang Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 When Kragonos said “my people are gone”, he might literally mean it Everyone of them, gone The city ruin thing he was looking at also doesn’t necessarily belong to his people. The city might be turned into a ruin, very recently... 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect they will, as the GAs are a great shorthand for how different factions fit into the world overall, and are useful to new and old players alike for that reason. That being said, they certainly could do away with them without putting the game itself in peril, but it would likely be a contentious decision on their part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red mane is seen in ALL members of Skaeth Wild Hunt. I think that image is, in fact, a very good confirmation that we are getting a Kurnothi faction. Awesome!

If so that's amazing for Kurnoth lovers but there will probably need to be a break between Aelf releases for a time. 6 1 12 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

novakai Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I for one like the GA concept as it is, it sorta of like a MMO alliance system where player can feel like they are in a team trying to influence the Mortal Realms Order is like the Alliance, Destruction is the Horde, Chaos is the Burning Legion, and Death is the Scourge. i believe Warhammer weekly said that the GA system gave the setting a focus and structure instead of it being 24 random armies just screaming at each other 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagash42 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I'm more worried for the lore part of the book. This Kragnos is going to some how beat the new twins and/or lord kroak. It will be a sad first outing for the newborns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

novakai Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 well judging by the Intro bits we have on Kragnos from WARCOM Quote do you hear that? It sounds like a rumble, coming from somewhere very, very deep. Almost like something terrifying has woken from a long slumber. The realm will quake We don’t know about you, but we’re not sticking around to find out who that was. Let’s take refuge somewhere safe He is definitely not a benevolent God creature, it almost like he going to cause a lot of problems when he is awaken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
