They do show up in BL novels all the time though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lost Sigmarite Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 38 minutes ago, OkayestDM said: I just looked back at the article, which conveniently has and image of the new Liberator and Reclusion adjacent to each other. The silver on the liberators is noticeably brighter. The darker tones on the Prosecutor and Reclusian are probably meant specifically for Ruination units (the article makes it clear that Prosecutors are now Ruination.) I went back and noticed it too. That's a subtle and great way to differenciate Ruination SCE from regular ones, I like it a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novakai Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 (edited) 6 minutes ago, BarakUrbaz said: There are a bunch of Fyreslayer stories. Arguably, no dedicated Fyreslayer novels, but: *Legends of the Age of Sigmar: Fyreslayers, which is a compliation of short stories and a novella. *Bonereapers, a novella which while the Bonereapers themselves get top billing the Fyreslayers are the main heroes opposing them. *Heirs of Grimnir, an audio drama spinoff of Realmslayer that focuses purely on Fyreslayers. *Grombrindal: Chronicles of the Wanderer, which is evenly divided between Dispossessed, Fyreslayers and Kharadron with neither really getting more focus than the others. *Soulslayer, a Gotrek novel which is something like 70% Fyreslayer focused. Yeah but if you compiled the list for KO it probably bigger, and more stuff that are focus on them. Granted I think in terms of overall lore support for KO they are probably show up above average compare to other armies. That why no one think they are neglected lorewise (model-wise is another issue) Edited April 29 by novakai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Changer Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Not only that, but I’ve noticed that the liberator shields feature the similar face as seen on the thunderstrike units to date. Whereas the Reclusiums and Prosecutors have skull masks on their shields. That’s probably the defining aspect of the chamber at this point. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EntMan Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Hmm, not sure what to think of the new Stormcast. They look OK I guess, as knights with wings. But I don't think they look at all like Stormcast imho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beats Bonereapers too. They’ve got Bonereapers as a novella, End of Enlightenment where they’re the deuteragonists and I think 1 shows up in Children of Teclis too, but doesn’t do much. And they show up in a few short stories but I don’t think ever really as the POV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. Seems the best approach to do not leave again a short roster. And in 5th another mid size wave to spring clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d expect their 4th Edition refresh would refresh Gluttons, the Butcher, and then reimagine some other stuff like how they did the Seraphon.

If I were to use the Poorhammer’s Lore ranking tier list, IMO I would rank the armies like this. 100 books of yapping: none, like AoS is too young to have any army in this tier More then you ever read: CoS, SCE More of this: KO, Soulblight, LRL, GSG, and OBR (maybe lower) Tablescraps: FS, Sylvaneath( could be higher), DoK, Slaves, Khorne, Wanderers (lol), and Deepkin Terminal villain syndrome: Nurgle, Nighthaunt, Ironjawz, Skaven, Kruleboyz, FEC, Tzeentch cringe zone: none, there not a single infamous writer that certain army fandom dislike like Eldar and Tau. might as well be fanfic: Ogors, Seraphon, Sons, Slaanesh, Beastmen, Edited April 29 by novakai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutton Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 The end of the Prosecutor article says they will be showing off some of the GHB rules "later today". But I thought they were usually done updating the community site by this time in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I heard there was a mistake and the GHB battle tactic article from Friday was the one suppose to be this one mention on the Prosecutor article. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gitzdee Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 (edited) 3 hours ago, HorticulusTGA said: The question remains : will a potential Catacomb-style board in Warcry 2nd ed. be more like the original Catacombs (a few scenery) or the Kill Team Space Hulk (full walls and add-on sprues) ?? I am going with the inside of a cogfort catacombs setting. At least we got a cogfort rumour. Havent seen any legit rumours about mordheim other then wishlisting and nostalgia. I really hope Warcry will continue to be great. It could become one of GW best games of all time. Catacombs was fun because it was Warcry with a twist. I would be fine if we got something else too. Maybe some sort of map with lots of small sky island and ships. Or some sort of boarding setting. Edited April 29 by Gitzdee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next week they will be even reveals... Skaven will have 3. I understand that but full units vs 1 character and 1 unit. Just feels a touch wonky that's all.
