The Rumour Thread

[SunStorm]

Blown away by Kragnos, both the model and the lore we've seen. Plus the potential he opens up for the future of a new destruction force built of his new followers. 

I love his shield, both the design and how it's painted with the heavy Verdigris.

I just need to decide if I paint him with green skin to match my Ironjaws.

"GW! Destruction needs new models that aren't just ogres and greenskins!"

*releases Kragnos*

"WAIT NO NOT LIKE THAT"

the only thing I don't like is that he stole the shield which has himself on it? Like he could be some sort of smith if khorne followers and some other destruction based factions can use metal why not some kind of destruction god?

I would make him look different since his a semi-divinity shouldn't be levelled with the rest of the army. my 50cent

Heh the Wight Lord for SGL looks completely out of place now. Like a Metal Fan at a New Romantics Concert or something.

Hey, show Grandpa some respect; he fought in the Soul Wars! 😁

Wow, Kragnos being a god of Destruction, proves, once again, Whitefang is TGA's shaman providing us visions of the future in the smoke of the rumor thread bonfire. He knows what he's talking about. Looking forward to "leaner" oldhammer style Orruks (presumably NOT Gitmob Grots) in 3.0  . I think that effigy on Kragnos' base is probably related.

As someone who has been building GA Destruction from the start of, Kragnos is absolutely amazing! I love the bronze age styling on the armour, and combined with the lore he feels like something out the epic of Gilgamesh. Definitely adding Kragnos to my Destruction army!

absolutely no peyote was involved in the making of the smoke and visions

I feel like my beloved @KingBrodd now! I can't wait to start painting Kragnos!

can't react any more today but bravo, extremely glad I'm in the office alone 😂

Ditto, preview days bleed my likes and laughs. Glad you like it 👍

 

So any clues where we’re at with Kurnothi then? I’ll be the first to admit I have Aelf fatigue, equally the ones I did want to see (hunters, Tyrion’s dudes, and Malerion anything) are yet to be seen. 
 

Kurnothi seem likely to just be absorbed as a mini faction within Sylvaneth, I just can’t there being a whole army cantered around a God with Cervidae aspects. It was already a push having Beastmen and Kurnothi being their non corrupted counterparts (intentional or not).

This image right here is why Destruction, 6 different species coming together for a mutual love of Wrekin stuff and having a good time.

The Lumineth battletome basically states that Vanari follow the "Tyrionic tradition" or something like that, so "Vanari ________" are basically all Tyrion's Dudes.  That includes Lyrior Uthralle and Ellathor as well.  

Just wanted to point that out in case you didn't know.  I'd still love to see Malerion elves and Kurnothi though!

As a Sylvaneth player, I dont see Kurnothi coming until Sylvaneth get a new tome, and I don't see that happening for a year at least. Alarielle and co are just not involved with the narrative at all at present. Obvs we're getting our toot man with BR Kragnos abd a new warscroll but I think that's just an aside.

I made my own Kurnothi to keep me going

Not a cellphone in sight. Just the forces of Destruction living in the moment.

I think the answer should be Squig Red

Cheers 👍 I did not know that. I haven’t been following the Lumineth Releases so assumed these were all foot troops for Teclis(bar Eltharion which might have been both). Need to spend sometime getting up to date with the AoS lore.

 

@Nos they look great. Really hoping there’s an army of centaur and satyr hunters out some day.

Malerion will be a big deal and I think GW are holding him back for a while because if it. Even from the release at AOS 2.0 I always thought he'd not be revealed until the start of 3.0 at the earliest. Now I reckon he'll be introduced at the half way point, similar to the Ossiarch event, quite possibly even later though.

Here's a quick photoshop into green and red of Kragnos

Reckon SGL will get Endless Spells? Or have GW moved away from those at faction release? 

Be cool to see like, just a Massive Furry Hat

I am planning on doing him in a green skin hue with a beige lower half and reddish brown hair.
