Agree, but tbh I also think 'at a glance' they'd look like alternate builds off of each other. Absolutely brilliant models though.

Ejecutor Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 24 minutes ago, The Lost Sigmarite said: Little easter egg about Empire I feel like. Nothing more. Yeah. Probably just artwork from before the CoS refresh. Considering we saw their actual look on H&B this seems to be earlier than the CoS wave. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the model refresh might have just been in the pipeline for so long that those Empire models were actually still current when the artwork was made. There is some more evidence for that in the Warhammer+ short where Gunnar and his Darkoath guys come from, which also freatures non-Dawnbringer Freeguild. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EntMan Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 I may be alone in this and I'm hoping they'll grow on me, but I'm not a fan of these new ruination Stormcast. To me they don't really look like Stormcast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah I see, I wonder if darkoath that worship a specific chaos god exists, can you give them god keywords in the current s2d book (savagers, warqueen etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine their disdain is for the various mortals in the god specific factions. I’m not going to make a declaration on the fluff before it’s released, too much of that going on with the current 40K internet silliness, but it does seem some of the themes from our dearly departed bovine chums have been transferred across to the less horned newcomers.

Or maybe the new Freeguild aesthetic was such a closely guarded secret that they used old Empire aesthetic as long as possible to not blow up the surprise when the CoS refresh came.

Nah. If you look at the Darkoaths they are also quite different from the previous ones. Especially the mounted ones or the Wilderbeast. Probably it was just that CoS were designed later on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're probably likely to see some more heavily mutated horned individuals join the Darkoath like the Wilderfiend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Darkoath Warqueen was released during the transition from AoS1 to AoS2, but we only see Darkoath now. You're right, it is weird. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or could it be a hint from a new crossbowman unit? Pretty sure a checky nod to the fact that prior to the Vedra reform that was the Azyrite uniform that everyone was given So unless (which unlikely since ToW) they want to Psudo-redo the Azyrite side of CoS which the prior wave was all about the native/hammerhald aqshy side of things i doubt it anything else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clan's Cynic Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 (edited) Skaven fluff article, mostly on their history until now. Quote Rumours of late have it that there has been a vast incursion of Skaven into Aqshy, that they now control all the land east of Hel Crown and will soon be in a position to threaten the heartlands of the Great Parch, and perhaps eventually even Hammerhal Aqsha itself. Madmen speak of eerie green light beyond the mountains, and the terrible clanging of brass bells. They say that the loathsome ratmen have burst forth in other realms too, that nowhere is safe from the rise of the verminous tide.

Tonhel Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 2 hours ago, Starfyre said: I think the reclusions are brilliant brilliant models and they've sparked my interest in this wave of SCE after all but the thing that sticks out for me is they're all facing the same way with very subtle variations and I would have liked to have seen more variety in the poses. That's to take nothing away from the models, and I presume there's a multi-part kit coming as well, but it just sticks out for me. They're phenomenal otherwise. I agree. A different angle of the axe would do a lot. Very nice mini's, but strange that they went for almost two identical poses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first blush I'd say nothing in terms of rules, but I noticed my lists have changed points, so there must have been some changes on that side.

ScionOfOssia Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Well, they’ve put themselves in an excellent position to expand OBR, FS, IDK, and KO- OBR square off with Skaven in the Prime Innerlands (Hopefully with Nagash’s return bookending the edition), FS fight to stall the Skaven coming from the east, the Idoneth wreck havoc on their navies, and the KO fight the Much-Great Sky Kill-Armada in Chamon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
