elfhead Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 If the artwork is still something to go by, there is definitely a blood hound in the background of the khorne v/s slaanesh video, biting into something large slaaneshi (fiend?). Too bad daemonettes still look the same, I don’t really like their current look. I hope we’ll get some mortal slaanesh warband in the Warhammer underworlds. It would make sense, fluff-wise for seekers to go into shadespire... and as far as I understand the nightvault is inside the city of shadespire.

Overread Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 My only real Deamonette hate is that they have arms that joint at the midpoint of the upper arm. It's horrible making those kind of joins because there's no "cup" or slot and instead just a flat sliding surface! Why they couldn't just put a peg and slot arrangement with the rim of the bracelet being the sealing area I will never know (they've done the same for lots of Daughter's of Khaine models too - gah! ) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that wasn't just a throwaway short story, and might actually signal something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralZero Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 What we actually can clearly see on the Wrath and Rapture teaser is: slanesh daemonettes, bloodcrushers, bloodletters. Knowing that slanesh has been more or less officially anounced for end 2018/start 2019, that means that we also get an additional and NEW sprue (= a new character or a fresh bigger unit ). I'm not a big fan of khorne daemons and we already have the SC (https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Start-Collecting-Daemons-of-Khorne-2018) meaning nothing will be really new on this side...

So many of my daemonettes have lost their arms because their claw got stuck in foam and the connection was too small to hold it together. I'll not even go into the whips on the chariot.

Overread Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Chariot Whips is something I'd really like to see change.

I'd really like to see fewer whips in their range - no one in the history of ever has said "I'm really glad that this model has a thin bit of plastic protruding from it, making it all but impossible to carry without breaking".

No offense to Moonclan, but I am more excited for Slaanesh to get a release. Not just because I like the faction more, but also because it's much more likely to advance the lore in a very big way. That said, Moonclan (and just Destruction in general) probably needs a release more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also always fear that all the rumors about a new Moonclan Grot army will turn out to be false and that we will instead "only" get a Moonclan shadespire warband instead of a full new army. I mean this would still be better than not getting anything, but I still think I would be very disappointed. But I am still happy for all the people who got something out of the reveals for them. Sadly the little flying squig couldn't really satisfy me, because it is for Shadespire again. If they would have teased the squig with "A preview for an upcoming army" I would be hyped. But after this reveal I fear that all the Moonclan rumours will turn out to be just a sharespire warband. I mean it would still be cool to get new models, but also a kick in the nuts for some Destruction fans. Or do we really have relatively confirmed rumours about a new grot army? Could all the rumours maybe also turn out to be just a Shadespire warband and maybe some information was misinterpreted? It's pretty solidly confirmed that Moonclan are getting a full release. Obviously at the rumour stage nothing is set in stone, but at this point it'd be very surprising if it was just a Shadespire warband, and would involve previously very reliable rumour-mongers turning out to be wrong. Not to mention it'd make the Malign Portents Cave Shaman very puzzling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I don't have any intention of collecting a Slaanesh army, lore-wise the escape of Slaanesh from imprisonment is way more interesting and exciting to me. I could see it heralding a whole new Malign Portents-esque campaign, and it's likely to be followed by the release of the Shadow Elves and Light Elves who I think could be super interesting. So to me Slaanesh is more exciting than Moonclan, even though I'd 100% concede that Destruction needs a new army waaaaaay more than Chaos at this stage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the current version is an upgrade from the Juan Diaz daemonettes. Preparing to battle means usually gluing at least 10 arms back in to the models.

Dirtnaps Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 14 minutes ago, ChatBatFun said: Does anyone actually want slaanesh over moonclan?!?!? I do from a lore perspective but I honestly think Moonclan (and Destruction as a whole) need some loving a hell of a lot more. Also I would kill for a Skryre, Moulder or Eshin (especially Eshin, give me an army of really nice updated ninja rats GW) release/repackaging, a lot of those models are ancient.

Yoshiya Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 20 minutes ago, ChatBatFun said: Does anyone actually want slaanesh over moonclan?!?!? I mean on a personal level the only interest I have in Moonclan is to help balance our the overall rosters and to give Destruction players some much needed love. I've never been interested in the Orc and Goblins of Warhammer (squigs are alright but unless they evolve them more I can't help but see the variants are just different sizes of the same thing). In contract Slaanesh was my first army and I ended up selling it due to weak rules (7th edition 40k), old models and lack of variety so I'd love a revamp of the range. As for the overall rumours I'm kind of disappointed but I think that mostly stems from most of the relevant reveals being for side games. Like I love the new Underworld models but at the end of the day they don't change anything about AoS apart from giving some people some cool unique sculpts (and unfortunately not for armies I collect yet which I get is a bit selfish). The Beasts of Chaos book gets me more hyped even though it's using old models just because it's more to think about and adapt to. It's affects all players regardless of their armies because now there is a chance that you will come up against them more often. Underworlds stuff only affects Underworld players and the people that collect their armies (and thus far only of the three new warbands two have only just finished getting a whole bunch of new models). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodmaster Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 on the demonetts: the Diaz where ace! timeless classics - but concerning the arm-loss - did no one hear of pinning?! Concerning the Plastic ones: after Diaz a let down.. but at least the armes stay in place, at least when you use plastic glue for plastic....

novakai Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I don't think the problem is one over the other, it probably the fact that Destruction may not get a single release this year, haven't gotten one for almost 2 years now, got very terrible GHB updates, and never really given good lore coverage. that and worst case scenario is waiting until next year for the release really feel like being neglected even further by GW. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nos Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) 3 hours ago, robinlvalentine said: As a Stormcast player I'm not complaining, but Knight-Incantor has to be the most well-represented hero in Warhammer history. You get one in the starter set, another in the 'get started' magazine, you can build multi-part ones from the Evocator kit, and now there's one in the new Underworlds warband. It makes sense for them to be easy to get hold of, as the go-to wizard for allying into Order armies, but this is maybe overkill! Agreed. Although as a Shadespire and StormcSt player I'm happy though because I can now make a legal sized unit of Evocators and get a whole game with it for the price that 5 Evocators otherwise would set me back. Although the repeated Evocators/Icantor sculpts seem to prove the point that there's not much you can do with them, they all look very similar. RE: the constant "Destruction never get anything" clamour, I don't get it. If you have an Ironjawz army I doubt 400 points of new grots or their rules are going to revolutionise your experience. If you want a new army, pick one of the many available rather than wait impatiently for one that you might not even like anyway. I fail to see how them belonging to a wider faction means anything.

AGPO Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 1 hour ago, ChatBatFun said: Does anyone actually want slaanesh over moonclan?!?!? Pretty much anyone with a Slaanesh army, myself included. To be honest, the current situation has really emphasised to me why GW try to keep new releases under wraps. I've got a small moonclan army, and I'd been really tempted to go in on the new release, but I'm a chaos player at heart so a beastmen update and the return of Slaanesh are much bigger deals for me, especially with some extra Khorne goodness thrown in. Even if moonclan came first I'll leave them now, whilst if I'd not known about Beastmen and Slaanesh in advance I'd probably have ended up buying all three. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerZauberer Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) The Nighthaunt Warband ist absolutely gorgeous and I'm excited for shadespire season 2. New content is always nice and as long as there is no big power creep with the new bands (and their magic) then I'm happy. I'm happy about those previews, as new shadespire input and warhammer quest for 40.000 is awesome, but I'm upset about no news on anything destruction related for Age of Sigmar, just another confirmation that there will be a destruction related shadespire warband, which is not in the starting box, with the starter box release at the end of the year. So there is a chance of no new destruction stuff at all this year it seems. Hopefully, destruction is not having the same meme status as Orkz do/did in 40k, but at least it seems confirmed that we will get sooner or later troggoths and squigs.
