They're pretty similar to the Preators but the details look a lot finer. Thinner parchment, chainmail instead of scale mail, the cloak not covering the chest, the thinner chains instead of the rope. It all adds up to a more pleasing design that isn't swamped by all it's detail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case, the SM stole the fantasy looks from AoS. How are you supposed to make SCE look different when the SM looks like a knight...there is only so much design space. Im not bashing one or the other. Just think they have a similar design. These might draw in some 40k people because these stormcast feel familiar.

On the one hand, we really don't have to pretend our Games Workshop holy knights that were supposed to be fantasy Space Marines don't look like Games Workshop Space Marines that are supposed to be holy knights. On the other hand, I still think Stormcast look way cooler than Space Marines. 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gitzdee Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 (edited) I just had the most happy idea. What if we had another end times event within AoS where Gorkamorkas followers actually manage to destoy everything that has been build within the mortal realms. If Chaos gets their win why cant we get one too. (Or let nagash not feel like mojojojo) Edited April 16 by Gitzdee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have done a lot of refinement on the overall design language as well as some work on the engineering of the pieces to be able to make these changes to ground them a bit more. The parchment and mail are especially true. The simulated weight of the cloak stands out to be too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not very long ago SCE were "totally not SM" and I would bet that any suggestion they should get Ecclesiarchy-like companions would be promptly stomped into ground. Now, with Reclusians revealed, most people are suddenly fine with "fantasy Space Marines". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greyshadow Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 That Reclusian is the best Stormcast model to date. Absolutely, phenomenal. The expression on the face mask is sublime, so haunting and evocative. I can see John Blanche's influence, especially in the beautiful gorget. The different textures in the armour grounds the model and provides great visual interest. The painting on this model is also incredible. Love the true metallic metal and the choice of two armour tones. Memorian compainion is inspired. I've always felt Stormcast look best in the presence of mortal humans to demonstrate their scale. Congratulations to the designer and painter on their amazing work. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davariel Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 You know, I'm a little torn on the attendants. The idea behind them is great, and they're nice models in and of themselves. I'm just not sure I like the image of a handful of ordinary humans in an otherwise all SCE army. I like how Stormcast armies look as a force of mighty warriors. I like how mixed armies of Stormcast and ordinary mortals look, too. The idea of a full SCE army with just two or three ordinary humans tagging along, though? I can't help but think they'll look a bit out of place. Maybe the Ruination Chamber will have more attendants in the rest of the range, who knows. In any case, the Reclusians are wonderful! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry. More Stormcast would be removed from the game until they are 50-50 in terms of Stormcasts and humans. That was the original plan 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a very interesting point! Imagine following your grandfather everywhere but he can teleport himself and you have to run after him. It would be like losing an elder man and having to look for it in the Mortal Realms. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't take them the Reclusians can arrive via lightning but they have some kind of disadvantage like "can only charge the closest enemy" as they lose themself in their reforgings. If you take them you can't deepstrike but don't have the other disadvantages and maybe get a few more wounds through them for the unit. If the "Scions of the Storm" or "Stormkeep" choice is still in you could also include them in that. If your Reclusians are SotS they get deepstrike but no attendants. If they are Stormkeep they get extra wounds and a buff 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
