The Brotherhood of Necros Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I was very excited for both these factions to receive some love (Idoneth are my main army) but I’m quite disappointed. The sculpts look fine but I can only echo what so many others here have already voiced. Where is the creativity? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not impossible that it's Fyreslayers, but hard to say with just the limited view we have. The studded bits coming out remind me a little bit of the Battlesmith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new Fyreslayer is fantastic, might be my favourite model in the entire range and I think the Deepkin one just needs a different paint job. The extra models are really good as well and combo well with the Start Collecting boxes without too much duplication. I'm dangerously tempted to pull the trigger on this one and grab the two start collecting boxes before they get replaced I think that is where the derision for this box is coming from it is a strangely great way to start out the two different factions. Personally I am also a big fan but I could see how this would be disappointing if I collected these armies already. If the rules for Namarti improve I could see people with purely eel lists taking interest in the set but overall I expect that the vast majority of Fyreslayer and Idoneth players already have the majority of these models. So it is a hard sell for IDK and Fyreslayer players, and will do little to win over people that do not like either faction... But for those on the fence this is a pretty sweet set 🙂 Edited December 27, 2021 by Neverchosen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clan's Cynic Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I don't think people hate the box so much as they are "meh" about it. None really had high expectations it feels like - hope, yes but extremely tempered and wishlisty hope. It's not a... bad box, particularly for Fyreslayers. It's just disappointing. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimDork Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I’m actually ok with the box contents. Obviously depending on the price, it seems like great value. I really don’t mind having more thralls, reavers and an extra shark. Currently I don’t have any fyreslayers, the box seems like an ok starting point. Of course I’d like to see more releases (especially for deepkin), but that doesn’t take away from what is in the box and it’s value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higolx Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Jokes aside now, I think the box is ok. Like, its one of the mid edition boxes. They arent really known to have anything too impressive on them, even when they have codexes connected to them (see 1k sons vs grey knights), the chaos vs eldar being the exception since according to the leaks both armies are getting major revamps. I think our best chance of getting new, more exciting minis would be when these 2 factions get their own battletomes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doko Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I gonna buy it,i havent runemaster so i can use this heroe as runemaster or as the new heroe and hesrthguards are welcome allways. But of course only if it is the same price that lasts boxes as morathi vs slanesh was,if it is more expensive..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be more exciting if at least it included existing beasties such as the magmas and any of the idoneth monsters. As is, it is just infantry and two very marginal foot heroes. I was planning on buying it to beef up those collections (granted, provided that it had exciting minis) but now I won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new Eldar and chaos stuff coming up seems a lot more exciting. The last thing I need for my Idoneth is a random foot hero. I've already got 4 random foot heroes that don't see much play. Don't lose hope my friend, I'm sure Idoneth will at least get a tome. There is still a chance for something more even if this box is a disappointment. 39 minutes ago, MathV said: There was a rumor about this, so assuming it was accurate now, can anyone remember me what was predicted next for AoS? As talked a few pages ago, WF said Lumineth in 2023 (NOT next year) and teased Skaven, especially Eshin. 34 minutes ago, Mutton said: Reminder of what the Fyreslayers could have had as a new hero type: 1) Fyrequeen (as mentioned in the lore) 2) Runeson riding baby/winged magmadroth 3) Flame spirit of Grimnir 4) Anything that doesn't look exactly like what they already have. 1st is what gets me. We have fem Fyreslayers in lore. We have them in Soulbound art. It would give some visual and actual diversity and...and they went with a third priest. 26 minutes ago, Azamar said: This hasn’t shown up yet- more fyreslayers yet to come or is it chaos dwarfs after all?

Snarff Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 (edited) Definitely going to buy the box, though only a hero is not what Fyreslayers need. Now for my next set of unrealistic expectations I'm hoping that more news for both FS and IDK means that they'll get their battletomes next with some more models, just like Slaanesh did after Shadow and Pain. That other Fyreslayer-ey looking rumour engine could be part of a Magmadroth saddle still Edited December 27, 2021 by Snarff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCE, Orruk and Nurgle alredy got one, Idoneth is pretty much a safe beat at this point with the new hero coming. Ossiarch is generally expected to come soon, as 3rd made their unique rules a liability more than something unique to them. KO have no rumors, but if the fyreslayers book is a soup book they won't need a new model or anything like that... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
