I've a feeling this one will have a heavier narrative element in the same way the Albion campaign had. I just hope they make it easier submit results than they did with 40k. But doesn't GW always ever did their world campaign in summer / holiday times ? Malign Portents start in 20 days (even if it can lead to something like this this summer) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it might be January 3d, announcing basic set up new chapter in the narrative, februari faction/fluff release around death herald, keep that rhythm with the other 3 heralds and you have a nice build up to summer campaign start/announcement early June. Do not necessarily think this will happen but just an example to show that the site doesn't negate an summer campaign as part of the new storyline chapter. Their are pretty much limitless options for a company willing to experiment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just have to release TONS of stuff to get us ready early for this summer, then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malin Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Wonder if we will get any updates to the website along the way. Would be nice if little snippet popped up every full day till release is behind us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavy Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Would be really nice to get a full army release for [insert army here]. GW seems to be moving away from that type of of release in favour of minature releases tied to boardgames/campaigns/skirmish game systems etc. While im fine with smaller, more sporatic miniature releases, it would be nice for the collectors/hobbyists to get a full faction release from time to time that isnt tied to a narrative release.

Well, we did get the Kharadron Overlords this year, which was a new faction and unrelated to any of the items you mentioned. Hopefully Aelves and other factions will get similar treatments. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaJeel Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Any word about a darkling coven hero being the next one in Malign? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that a Darkling Covens ability (I forget which one) says that a hero/general that isn't a magician becomes one, which confused some as both characters are sorceresses. However, rather than being a hint at a new release, most took it as an oversight from GW. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1st quarter is always a low sales time, a campaing helps the stores. This leaves the summer open for 40K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whispers at my flg, wasn't sure if it was based on anything, looking at it tho, we have Nighthaunt and Slaves to Darkness so that does make sense, going by that logic Ironjawz would be the destruction one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 The video on the Malign Portents website has been updated! Its now down by the docks with a spooky looking ship pulling in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segersgia Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 The video for those wondering. Could this mean we might see Luthor Harkon back? I know he died in the End Times, but vampires kind of do that a lot before resurecting. + he was a mortarch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that is not happening. It would be the first time ever for GW to not include a good vs evil battle in a starterbox. It would also mean a box without stormcast.. so well.. I doubt it.

Austin Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Why do we think it is Undead Pirates vs the Cthulhu Aelves? I thought there were a few rumors of a nautical twist for them? Perching dragon thing on arm instead of a parrot that type of thing. Or did I miss more zombie pirate stuff? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
