Could even be no new faction specific tomes and just story arcs with rule updates like Broken Realms had. Now that you mention it, that does look like the Evil Sun/Glareface Frazzlegit...

That's a good update on its own. There's a few conceivable slots they could have filled (vampire non-character infantry, some sort of cavalry vampire lord) but that's a very decent release, much more than was expected a few months ago. how many of those models are just repackaged Cursed City expansion lords? especially all the HQ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojojojo101 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I wanted some Dire Wolves for my FEC army and these ones are pretty much exactly what I am looking for. The rest of the Gravelords is just not for me, other than Laukai Vai who is mental. Got to try and work some way to justify getting that model into an army I already have. Excited for BR: Kragnos, Seige of Excelsis and some other rumblings all sound like a lot of fun. Hoping Gordrakk gets something good for himself. New Sylvaneth stuff is very exciting although a lot of factions are going to have to turn up in this book for BR to feature 'every faction'. Kragnos himself really doesn't do all that much for me at the moment. He's cool and all but at the moment he feels very separate from the rest of Destruction, I expect/hope that whatever we see turns up in 3.0 gives him a more complete place to exist if that makes sense. As for his model, it's alright. Think I am going to wait for a few of the community's painters to get their hands on him before I judge too much, the way GW painted him I think is a bit one dimensional.

Chikout Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Lots of cool minis in that preview. A touch disappointed they didn't show anything unexpected. The new dire wolves look fantastic as does the new Radukar model. The idea about him being changed from a cursed city expansion is nonsense though. They write the books a year ahead of schedule. It seems clear that Cursed city was intended to be a preview to the new range. The rumour engine hints that could be for Soulblight probably are cursed city expansions and not a lumineth style book 2. I'm still not sure what to make of the big hybrid vampires. Those are minis I will need to see in person. Kragnos himself is cool though I much prefer the open mouthed version. The grinning face is too small. As for the story I like the idea of a bit of animosity in the destruction grand alliance. A big dust up between Gordrakk and Kragnos has potential.

Beliman Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 As some people pointed out, maybe Gravelords are waiting for a second wave. Like Ironjawz, Sylvaneth, Idoneth, Kharadrons, Fyreslayers, etc... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZenithZilfin Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Kind of surprised we didn't see Corpse Rats in the big SBGL family picture- hoping that Kritza the Rat Prince will have some interaction with the Cursed City rats.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Public Universal Duardin Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Okay, so these were all-around solid reveals! Belladama is perhaps my favourite reveal as her pose reminds me of Bretonnian Damsels of yore - except much more fanged and bestial. Guess this also confirms rumours about CC...Belladama would have been a perfect boss expansion down the line. Big boy Kragnos is AWESOME!!! Oh Gw, why are you making it so hard to commit to a new army? And it seems there's a new Destro army waiting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

relic456 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Super bummed with the style direction they went for the remaining SBG, was hoping for a 5/10 man elite Vampire unit and more heroes like the ones in the Crimson Court, less weird amalgams. Ah well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollow Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I really like some of the models and I Vamps are solid and Krag is interesting. To be honest I would be kinda ok for Beasts to be moved from Chaos to Destruction, have his return break the beasts from Chaos and follow him. Would add a lot to the Destruction Grand Alliance and Chaos already has a lot going on. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And honestly... so? Who cares? Dang, two new special characters released for a new dynasty, two new AoS-specific vampires! Oh wait, they don't count because uh they were originally sculpted for inclusion in a game about AoS vampires, damn, they're invalidated. This isn't like WHU where they're best viewed as alternate sculpts with garbage rules, these are clearly integrated parts of the battletome. I mean even throw those two out and you still have a new monstrous centrepiece, two other new SCs, a new generic hero, resculpts of two infantry kits, dire wolves, a new blood knights. That would be substantial on its own. Edited May 3, 2021 by sandlemad 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warfiend Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I think it's likely Gordrakk is behind Kragnos joining this cause. From what the text says it seems Kragnos is much more of a juggernaut that smashes things and destruction forces follow in awe and not a traditional leader like Gordrakk who has goals and plans beyond just smashing things. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
