Jator Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 I would never believe it but..yeah, Fimir. Those red eyes didn't come in pairs at all. And all that fog and bog... I'd be happy if that is the case. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neverchosen Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 (edited) Overall Thoughts: I apologize in advance for my general excitement and positivity. I am so happy and excited about this reveal! It has been a rough week and this is what I needed to see. I have been a touch let down by much of the rest of the festival’s reveals but this was great! I am deflated we didn’t get a direct reveal of the rival faction but I feel it is a spoiler for Broken Realms but it is obviously going to be halflings.Prologue: Fairly long preamble again but a very nice tribute to Richard Halliwell. The announcements about events feel far away as my area is still fairly deep in lock down so not likely to see anything in my area.Big Reveal 3.0: I am likely going to jump on board with the starter set this time around. I am always wary of having the same bog standard armies as everyone else though… so I will likely only take half.Yndrasta: is exactly what I wanted the SCE to be what a lovely model! I have always been raised in an extremely secular household but I have always loved the kind of Renaissance depictions of angels and this is exactly what I want to face off against my Chaos! Also goodbye tactical rock, hello tactical stairs! If I do not pick up Stormcast I will convert her into a DP for sure!The new Vindicator SCE: Beautiful models, although I think that I am still a fan of the Sacrosanct Tabards. I might learn to kit bash as I prefer these models weapons and particularly those awesome shields! I do love knights and it is why I play Chaos mortals! I am too lazy and I think these models edge out the Sacrosanct. The black and gold looks classy!The Annihilator: Paladins continue to be least favourite models in the line but with the right rules and lore I would run this fella. Again the shield is a feeling point. I do like heavy armoured units…Lore/rules: I have always had a tenuous relationship to lore as I am a big fan of developing my own lore and narrative but I also like it to reflect the story in a way to integrate into other’s narratives and the main story of the game. But I am really excited to hear the developments here more Destruction and more Duardin which I have been shouting throughout the whole later portion of 2.0 would be a focus of 3.0! I feel somewhat vindicated (pun intended) in this… Double turn and command point rules will be cool and addressing of battalions sound great. I have faith that this will be good and it lines up with the rumours but are being addressed a little more clearly. Yndrasta/Rule book art is fantastic and captures the exact feel I have imagined for Warhammer since I was 16 years old. Maps, I like making maps for my own campaigns but this is still exciting!!!Ending video: Cool and exciting an emphasis on what looked like freeguild/normal humans surrounded by a new mysterious threat… Halflings have returned!In Summary: This was a fantastic reveal that did not disappoint. The new models are fantastic and the lore and rules sound exciting. It will be a hard wait and I thinking I need to develop a SCE paint scheme… I have always liked Dr Doom’s colours but they work best on Sequitors. I haven’t looked at the response so far so I hope that others are as excited. Maybe I should grab Soul Wars in the meantime to start out a SCE army and get some nighthaunt in the process?

Acrozatarim Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 That was a reasonably solid preview, I think. Firm confirmation that yes, it's third edition. New Stormcast special character and two new units showed off, along with some of the lore justification thereof. Bit of discussion about some of the thematics about the new edition. Implied confirmation about some of the rumours we've heard re double turn, CPs, and battalions. Teaser about an antagonist faction that really doesn't match up with any of the rumours we've heard so far. I'm fairly happy with that, though obviously I'd have liked to hear more about the new faction/s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RetconnedLegion Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Best thing for me from the preview is that it debunked some of the nonsense 4chan and the like have been spreading online. Really curious to see what form the opposing force in the starter set takes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clan's Cynic Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 (edited) Watching the trailer again, a lot of the (presumably) red eyes are by their lonesome - one eye, no more - and the Fimir are cyclopean and hang out in bogs, so maybe it is them.

Is this edition of Warhammer going to be a large scale version of Critters and Keys! The legends were true and the prophecy fulfilled? I am actually feeling a Beasts of Chaos vibe off of that video and this squirrel tbh. Maybe Kragnos will resurrect his people?

RamsesIII Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Doubt it's Fimir, they're not really "a new breed of evil" and while there were some lone eyes there were also quite a few that seemed to come in pairs. The leaner stormcast kinda fit the description we were given (not really "Bretonnian" per se but definitely a bit closer to more traditional knights) so I'm expecting the new greenskins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siphon Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 GW: Age of Sigmar 3.0 is coming. It’s going to focus on the forces of Order’s efforts to push back against the terrible Chaos that is everywhere in the realms. We just released a giant Centaur god model and the epicenter of this edition will be Ghur the realm of Beasts. BoC players: Yes finally. We will roll across the realms. Bring on the Beasts of Chaos. GW: Wait Who? Why would you think BoC? This is clearly for the green skins. BoC: Sigh. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommissarRotke Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Silent people is possible, we've also got Grotbag Scuttlers and even Skaven that could be it. the red eyes are definitely in sets of two; the perspective makes some look like a single eye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dankboss Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 This rumor engine does look like a Fimir foot (plus one toe maybe?) Also, if they're goblins/ orcs or some kind, I doubt their eyes would glow. I sold my Fimir army last month! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rummybum Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 This rumour engine has the same styling on the stone as Yndrasta too, doesn't look too much like Fimir nor insects like we think the Silent People are, but I could be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenericEdgyName Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Please just read on, I'm just another guy saying he's MASSIVELY EXCITED. Spear and shield has always been one of my favourite weapon choices esthetically, so I'm happy the new stormcast get it. Also, I know many people would love Fimir, but I kinda doubt it. There is no reason GW couldn't just invent a new swamp race, which is additionally hinted by the 'new breed of evil' thing. Also, weren't fimir big, almost troll sized? That wouldn't really fit a stalking race that picks off soldiers one by one? Either way, be they fimir or new race, I'm excited for them 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
