Just died a little inside.  Been really hoping we would have at least gotten one hero for them in the next year.  

Thanks for posting and glad to see FW acknowledge them.

In the process of creating it.  No idea what this will mean, but there will be a team of people dedicated to AoS in the same way as they've got a team for Lord of the Rings and Specialist Games.

Pass on this if they don't seriously step up their game. Outside the Mourngul FW's AoS stuff looks Terrible.

I'd so love to see the reaction to a Forgeworld Heresy equivalent for Stormcast. 

H...how would they even do that? Wouldn't that just be WHFB with Stormcasts in it? That would be really really dumb.

Or are you just trolling the whole 'too much Stromcurst dur-ka-dur' thing?

Either way it doesn't make any sense.

@Burf ha ha ha somehow I’m thinking that you’re the troll ? but maybe I’m  wrong 

But I drift off topic! I think the idea of corruption of stormcasts would be a cool idea for a narrative drive. However I think there are enough antagonist/protagonist dynamics to work through for now, before we get to a fall of the stormcast type plot. ....Rise of the Aelves\slannesh etc etc.

Cqre to eleborate for the non 40k players? 

Alternative story point focusing on a schism within the deity monarch's elite forces, turning them on each other and on the realms they were created to protect. 

The limited scope lets Forgeworld greatly expand on the individual character of the various chambers, letting players collect visually distinct forces of e.g. the loyal Anvils of Heldenhammer or the fallen zealots of the Knights Unforged.

Although I feel they got off to a rocky start, if the future warscrolls are the same as Idol of Gork we should be fine.

Forgeworld have major issues with their Keywords. or a lack thereof.

In these days of allies, things need to be faction-aligned, as mixed GA armies are less of a thing now.

Case in point, the Magma Dragon. It's a wrecking machine, but requires a mixed Destruction list to be usable and doesn't really fit the visual theme of any Destruction faction.

A switch to Order: Fyreslayers would work wonders for its sales IMHO, and would fit the overall theme really well.

The Carmine Dragon (Collegiate Arcane), Preyton/Incarnate of Beasts (Bray/Warherd), Dreadmaw/Merwyrm (Fimir?) all suffer from the same issues, and I don't think its a coincidence that its the faction-aligned Mourngul, Gorkamorka and exhalted greater daemons that get talked about the most often.

That's because while Chaos and Death have the Monsters of Chaos and Beasts of the Grave factions, both Order and Destruction don't have factions specialized in beasts. They could definitely benefit from a Menagerie of Order and Feral Destroyers faction.

The Incarnates should have their own faction as it seems that "eventually" there will be 8 of them.  Merwyrm should be changed to Order and put in the Scourge Privateers faction.

Would love for them to finish the Incarnate cycle, as it is an awesome idea. I am hoping they stay neutral, as the idea of theming an army around a Realm to use them would be cool. I am also a sucker for Collegiate Arcane, so there is that...

In reference to the Merwyrn, an awesome idea that they could do for Scourge Privateers is for them to be able to take any "Aquatic" monsters with an accompanying "beastmaster" sort of unit. Then Forgeworld can lowkey suppprt them while releasing monsters for other factions. Just add the aquatic label to anything that fits and BAM!

Destruction makes sense as the Incarnate Elementals alliance as they would likely see any form of civilisation building or chaos corruption as unnatural to the realms and something that must be destroyed.

A "slaver" mechanic that allows a unit to have odd "allies" would be cool.

Destruction works for most realms, but what about Light? Life? It would also be weird for an Incarnate of Death to not be Death alliance. But either way, as long as they keep the reapective Battlemages able to summon them, I am good.

Life would hate Order, because it destroys life to build civilisation, even the sylvaneth, and death could see all the graves, pyramids, mortuary factories  and necromantic monuments as unnatural, since death is supposed to be still, not moving as undead creature. The hard one would be Light, as in the Warhammer setting this element deals with weird conceptualisations.

I prefer them as primal forces of the realms rather than something that can be summoned.

Fair. Metal and Light are the only ones that seem even remotely non-Destruction, at least. Either way, I like the idea of summoning them as the basic idea of a Wizard in Warhammer systems seems to focus on mastering powers they don't understand.

Anyways, I hope the Forge World team add some nice spice to the rules, hopefully with a cool faction or weird addons.

At a first look, i think Garrek's Reavers warscroll looks underwhelming. For 10 more points i would rather have an additional horde of 10 bloodreavers to bolster an existing unit, than have a unit of 5 models with 1 wound each and a 6+ save.

Steelheart's Champions looks cool though,  certainly an improvement over a 5 model unit of liberators.

I'd be so disappointed if major resources  got devoted to that kind of project. All the limitless possibilites that GW could come up with for AoS, all the weird, wonderful and wacky things that would never have been possible in WFB... and we get Stormcast with skulls/chaos stars instead of lightning bolts? Gimme a break! xD

Seriously though, the sky's the limit these days, and Forgeworld in particular could really push some of the traditional fantasy boundaries.

May i ask what the last 2 pages have to do with rumours ?????

 

If your posts include "I think" or "They should" or "This existing Warscroll needs that" don't even bother posting.

This is what the general discussion or faction specific sections are for.

Thank you very much Ladies and Gentleman

As much as i would agree with this, less than 30% of the 308 pages in this thread actually consist of rumors. 

It is mostly lore discussion, thoughts on new stuff and wishful thinking for dream products with an actual rumor every few pages.

When something new shows up, people usually like to express their thoughts the moment they see it even if that is not a dedicated thread.^_^

Cheers!
