Grimrock Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 (edited) 4 hours ago, MitGas said: I don‘t think a range extension for daemons is likely, they are pretty complete overall, especially because each God has to have basic troops and specialists so there is little room for more. Doesn‘t mean that there won‘t be anything new but I think that‘s more along the lines of a unit here or there. The only way they would really introduce a bunch of kits would be by making more unaligned daemons and while we saw some of those in HH, I‘m not sure they gonna go in that direction on a bigger scale. Unaligned daemons would be the most „standard“ cookie cutter daemons and since GW wants to make their IP more unique than less unique, I doubt such a move. Perhaps the Malerion faction will get something daemon-like, they‘re said to lean into shadow-daemon/draconic themes. 🤷🏻♂️ I think there's room for more daemon kits if they started releasing elite level units. In total war they have the basic daemon unit and then a unit comprised entirely of champions. For example they'll have seekers of slaanesh and then a unit of heartseekers of slaanesh (which is the name for the seekers unit champions in AoS). They're similar to their basic counterparts but with nicer models, more detail, of course better stats, and smaller number. They could do something like that in AoS quite easily. Or they could go for super elite along the scale of minotaurs like they did with the ruinstorm daemons. All the non beast daemons tend to follow the same sort of scale and size which is far less chaotic than it could be. No reason you couldn't start seeing exalted heralds that are the size of an ogre or a hulking bloodletter with a great axe. Lots of possibilities.

It’s probably 40k week with rest of tau releases and maybe something for HH. Also considering Emperors Children have been mentioned this week, maybe CSM preorder is also possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here it is: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MciOc6Sfgwe17zICxG3DSAnIgHMKy6KeGM5egSuFCCI/edit?usp=sharing Thanks for all your hard work ! I'm doing the same kind of compilation to see how AoS range has evolved from WHB. I don't have quite the same results as you but it's interesting to see exactly where the differences are and if I've missed anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as we see now from other 3d sculptors that sell STLs, but than in hard plastic. There is ofcourse a limit what you can do with plastic mini's before they become to fragile / have to many small parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clan's Cynic Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 (edited) No models for AoS next week, but a new omnibus as well as Yndrasta: The Celestial Spear in paperback. Quote Chart the continuing history of Warhammer Age of Sigmar in War for the Mortal Realms – a new omnibus collecting companion novels from each edition of the game with new interstitial sections bridging the gaps between major events in the Age of Sigmar. It’s a perfect way to get caught up with the affairs of the Mortal Realms before the new edition of Warhammer Age of Sigmar lands later this year, with exciting stories by Chris Wraight, Josh Reynolds, and Darius Hinks. Presumably it contains Gates of Azyr, Soul Wars and Dominion. Edited April 21 by Clan's Cynic 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Legion of the First Prince gets expanded upon, then we can fully expect the Chaos Legionnaires to get the Darkoath treatment. In fact, I am fully convinced it's going to happen one day. Unaligned Demons would be such an original and interesting concept. I am legit very interested in how they would be, and I can also see them getting introduced to 40K if they were to become a thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingBrodd Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Really suprised to still see no DB6. It surely has to be next week? Releasing in May just over a month from 4th Edition is cutting it close. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armoured jacked up bloodletters, even more mutated horrors like the recent WHU set, 4 armed daemonettes with more weapons, only one I'm unsure about is poxwalkers, maybe just make them more bloated and give them a projectile vomit attack so they can be missile troops 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Releasing in May just over a month from 4th Edition is cutting it close. 4th prob early July are we thinking? And yes, it feels super deflating to buy rules that'll be out of date in a month. I just bought two boxes of darkoath, but I'm weirdly not hype at all about them. It's not like soulblight at the end of second ed. These rules will be invalidated at the turn of the edition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Klatz Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Haha, I spent two months hunting that Yndrasta book down and they just make it appear anyway like a bolt coming down from high Azyr. 😂⚡️ Excited for the Mortal Realms one and hope DB6 is soon so Abraxia can lead all this new Darkoath armies popping up👹 Also, @KingBrodd Kroot seem to be opening up the doors to new Destruction ideas. 🤔 ❄️ 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Differences in classification methods : I haven't finished looking at all the armies you've covered, but I count Underworlds/Warcry kits separately, I don't count endless spells/faction terrains, or certain double-kits that you've counted separately (Mathlann's Eidolon springs to mind)... small differences that don't detract from the quality of your data. And it made me realise that I'd only missed the Black Ark Fleet Master or Cogsmith which have disappeared from the GW site... So thanks to you for the update ! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
