Bjornas Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 "New magical powers and new rules for all your games" I'm guessing spells, endless spells, scenarios and new terrain rules. All the things I'm not fond of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bjornas Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) @Sttufe Maybe the "god" is GW regretting its decision to not release a new Kharadron Overlord battletome yet. Plausible? Edited March 12, 2019 by Bjornas 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harpo2 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I don't know where the idea of this being a teaser for a new army has come from when it says: Quote Forbidden Power is an expansion for every Warhammer Age of Sigmar player that’ll put you at the heart of the latest battles in the Soul Wars. Look forward to major narrative developments, new magical powers to unleash and new rules for all of your games. We’ll have more news on just what it means for you soon. Unless there is also army release coming out with Forbidden Power, then its looks to be a campaign book with more endless spells (they said that more are coming) and other game wide rules (like the Maglin Portents book). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutton Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) Hot take: Sigmar regrets crafting a chamber of warriors from the souls of Settra (maybe this is only alluded to) and his followers, who refused to serve (get it?) OR were defective in some other way, thus, he trapped them in the Stormvaults (where maybe now they've gone crazy or something? I dunno). Those gryph hound statues are clearly Egyptian-inspired, and you'll notice the skull patterns around the ceiling wall, yet the symbols on the floor still retain the aesthetic design of the Stormcast.

CitizenX Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I would be happy if there was a campaign rule structure in it about chasing artefacts through the realms or some such. Something like Urban Conquest, but for AoS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis by Night Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 So let's pull every little bit of information we can squeeze out of that trailer together, shall we? First, the text tells us about "major narrative developments", new magical powers and new rules. I think it's fair to expect Forbidden Power to be the next global campaign, like Malign Portents was, and to bring us another round of Endless Spells (or something similar). And maybe some heroes too. The trailer itself shows a... towering city with floating spheres, in a jungle. It's certainly not a pyramid, at least not in the traditional sense. That kind of architecture doesn't really ring a bell for me, at least nothing related to AoS. It has a sort of "old, forgotten magic from a bygone age" feel to me. The jungle has long been associated with Lizardmen (and Clan Pestilens), but I don't think that's still the case in AoS. The "tomb" contains a lot of chains and cogs, which I don't really see has being associated all that much with Tomb King. The general architecture doesn't look particularly Egyptian to me, it has more of a roman feel. There are, however, two statues that are very reminiscent of Anubis by the door. There's also skulls on the wall, so we can expect undeads or a sort of death cult. The pattern above the door is just scribbles. ...and then we have the real kick in the teeth, the last line of the trailer: "the Stormvaults open". So you can expect more Stormcasts. Or not... I'd say that all of that does not necessarily points toward return of TK, but there are some elements that are definitely connected. The things is that if GW decides to bring them back, my guess is that they'll receive a heavy dose of "spin". They'll be way less "generic egyptian undead" (wouldn't want to step on Universal's toes), and way more "Mortal -Realms-ish". If we add the last line about Stormcast, plus the rumour about "evil" Stormcasts, a possibility would be that Sigmar attempted to recruit Settra, turned him into a Stormcast, failed and now Settra and his stormhost went rogue. And there you have it: new rebranded TK, evil Stormcasts(but MORE Stormcasts nonetheless), major plot developments, new spells from Settra, and a river of salt from all the TK fans. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sttufe Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Wait, floating spheres? And gears and cogs? Well, it has been stated many times that the KO are close allies of the SCE, sooo...😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aelfric Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 It could be the opening of the Great Oubliette beneath Nagashizzar, and it could be Nagash regretting his actions as they have led to this. It is possible that, besides great heroes and villains of legend, the Great Oubliette contained some of the old Gods of Death that Nagash was unable to fully destroy or subsume, and if so then His reign as THE God of Death will no longer be undisputed.

alghero81 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 To be honest both in Reynolds book Souls War and at the end of the Malign Portent campaign they hint at souls and heroes being freed or imprisoned to be used as currency. Could this be an expansion based on heroes abilities? With a push maybe mercenary Souls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh thats easy.. Sigmar regret building Stormcasts. So he remealts them into nice golden and pointy hats for chaos to wear.. “Noo Siggy?” the chaos gods will go. “You shouldn’t have done that, its way too much and we didn’t even bring something for you” and so he will have his next regret cause out of pure azyr dissapointment he regrets to have trusted a big bully organization like Games W... I mean the Chaos Gods, and he will go to celestialtgacommunity.com and let all of the other gods know exactly how dissapointed he is. Now if they only had a sad sigmar emoji..

Mandzak-Miniatures Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Riveting final reveal today. A reveal that revealed nothing more than what we already knew about “Forbidden Power”, which is nothing. extremely lazy way to try and boost hype. Or maybe they were wanting to boost criticism.. looking forward to tomorrow’s reveal of “we will release more miniatures this year” haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercenary mini-factions that can ally with any army could definitely be an interesting new mechanic, particularly if they have funky new abilities available to no one else. And, like Endless Spells, models that can sold to every player is a great strategy business-wise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chikout Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 The short stories in white dwarf are almost certainly hints towards Forbidden Power. In the first the Ko uncover a hidden cavern which is protected by Slyvaneth. In the second a khorne hero uncovers a special weapon which is being protected by the stormcast. These are probably the stormvaults. The stormvault board game has heroes searching for specific locations throughout the mortal realms. It seems that forbidden Power is about lost artefacts of considerable power but maybe also danger. A selection of new items and spells that have a strong risk reward element could be pretty interesting. Also a quest to uncover these vaults could make for a pretty good campaign. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
