Ejecutor Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 35 minutes ago, Hollow said: But it isn't. You seem to be insisting that "Asian" = 1 type of Chinese aesthetic and that's it. Who would have thought there would be more than a dozen different esoteric Chaos mortal factions explored through WarCry when AoS first released? Also, the idea that studios are "at war" is just inflamed clickbait nonsense. Is not about Asians, it was just an example. The Warcry warbands are a fair point, but I think they shifted from that approach (hence the removal). I see potential on CoS from something like what you are asking for. I think they could become "the new S2D" via the different AoS universe games, as we've seen with The Brethren of the Bolt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we have this in mind there's not that much room for human variations in AoS. not necessarily like we have Cities of sigmar and The Empire share 15th century west europen knights, Slaves to darkness are near 1:1 with even the Darkoath being more Cimmerian there still various nordic and hun aesthetic to them parallel the Kurgan (espicalling in the Tarmakhan book) and Norscan, Soulblight gravelords has various slavic aesthetic added on to them despite Kislev coming around & Lumineth and High elves are sharing the Grecian aesthetic and while were on the Lumienth they also have various blend of chinese influence from their Windmage who just lifting Wukong cloud riding, the Bladeguard are just samurai with Corinthian helms, various mages having various chinese alchemist clothing We are also assuming assuming Cathay is just "chinese-like aesthetic" as one androgynous aesthetic when they very distinctly from timeline to timeline as Cathay is more Han dynasty (pic one) aesthetic but widely different from say Ming dynasty (pic two) They can come same historical influence but will simply have to be distinct from one another to Edited May 7 by Dragon-knight77 didn't finish writing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GloomkingWortwazi Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 If we're getting a new army this edition I just hope it's something new, not an offshoot of an existing idea that is already in AoS. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are going to check out what all the fuzz is about. I think GW clickbait and rage is rather small and inconsequential to matter. Nothing happen that moves the needle of events. it definitely not the same tier of drama to Hasbros/ WoTC which may have more ramifications which actual get proper media coverage sometimes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gitzdee Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 (edited) Destruction wishlist idea of the day. I would love for Destruction to get a faerie faction along the lines of the mtg ones and make them hate creation like the rest of the grand alliance. I think it fits AoS really well. Could also include an Avalon/ Atlantis kind of theme to it. Would prefer this to even more greenskins. They could still follow Gorkamorka but havent figured out how yet.

Honestly Sylvaneth already have the fairie themes, even the evil fairy themes what with Drycha. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see what u mean but i do think its different enough. To me Sylvaneth feel more like angry woods that dont want any visitors. I picture these faeries more like imps in a more active aggressive way, they could raid cities over night. Give them the magic to make people forget they have been seen. So everyone thinks they dont exist and are creatures of legend.

Vasshpit Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 (edited) If anything for destro I'd love Zoats! Those recent models are dope! Edit: But honestly I think there's enough untapped potential among the existing orruks, grots, hobgrots, troggs, ogors, and gargants to keep things interesting.

novakai Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 I did like those FW Fimirachs (Fimirs) when they were still part of AoS. and they where push as a Destruction race. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gitzdee Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Oh and i love these new Jezzails. They are just like how i would picture them updated to todays standards. I also feel like we could conclude what the rest of the models will look like. They seem to closely follow the older classic sculpts and dont do anything too fancy with it. Also dont think we will be seeing any of the other clans anytime soon, at least not an AoS release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say CoS falls in between the Empire and Bretonia, rather than sharing the field with the Empire. With the already-established factions would be harder to be too different. I am not too used to the TWW Cathay roster, but it is more closed to the first pic, right? Cathay looks very "AoS" as a WHFB faction and wouldn't surprise me if they mix aesthetics from different time periods. Where I see that we could definitely have Asian influence is for Malerion and his shadow daemons. I think that one will have a mix between the remanence of Dark Elves and a highly influenced Asian side for the shadow-themed side of the army.

In this case the warpstone backpack. A bit like Seraphons which look the same but hold more futuristic weapons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
