sigmar is scottish Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I would love to see some sort of Marauder (Darkoath) force. I always loved the idea both fluff wise and aesthetically, I remember trying to build such a force back in the day with Crom as the general. There's a real chance here for some big monsters, beasts and mounts with such an army I believe and GW would be in for a trick if done right. Saying that I would also love to see some love given to the beast men or brayherds whatever it is the kids are calling them these days. As long as they don't go down the tzaangor route with them. They things look awful. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sete Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Sing me up for Darkoath. need a second Army, and so far only ironjaws come to mind. Would love to play chaos, but no god aligned. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love it, even if Nagash is channelling his inner Lich-King. Lady Olynder looks particularly awesome here, I'm wondering what a more ethereal scheme would look like on her.

erasercrumbs Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 (edited) Lady Olynder exists to force people to accept the inevitability of death? Olynder needs to hook up the with Horned Rat* for stealing Nurgle's schtick! Just kidding! Much like the GHR, who shares diseases as a portfolio with Nurgle, Olynder does Nurglesque things as a means to an end rather than out of philosophical purity. GHR is a hateful being who spreads disease out of spite, while Nagash is haughty and spreads despair so that mortals may accept his authority, both of which are very dissimilar to Nurgle's earnest devotion to sickness and misery, seeing them as altogether good things. There, I'm done answering a question no one asked, talking myself out of disliking such a beautiful miniature with cool backstory. ? The Nighthaunt releases thus far have kept up an altogether incredible standard. Honestly, I don't know if GW has ever released an army with such consistency. *I love the Horned Rat and would never seriously question his sublime authority Edited June 13, 2018 by erasercrumbs 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything I had seen so far said the ballista was 100 points. If this is true are they still worth taking? Also being a noob I have no idea how the points are looking. Does this look ok for the stormcasts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syph0n Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 It's been 120 points for Bolt Throwers, High or Dark Elf variant and they kicked ass. I see no reason why these won't either. 4 of them with a Lord Ordinator will be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GHR is a hateful being who spreads disease out of spite, while Nagash is haughty and spreads despair so that mortals may accept his authority, both of which are very dissimilar to Nurgle's earnest devotion to sickness and misery, seeing them as altogether good things. Yeah, there's definitely something here about GW trying to distinguish between the portfolios of Nurgle and that of Nagash over the last few years. The stuff about Nurgle being a pseudo-nature/fertility deity, part of the ciiiiircle of life... and decay and life again isn't new exactly but has got a lot of emphasis in AoS and recent 40k. Still has a focus on despair but with less finality. More joy, more identification with a jolly caring deity. More corrupt growth and flesh, more colour, more tree and insect imagery, more linkages to Ghyran. "Life is more horrible than death", as Lovecraft said. Nagash gets coldness, sterility, domination and totalitarianism under one personality, the reduction of chaotic possibilities inherent in life to the repetitive single point of death. Death as a bleak inevitable terminus. You could probably attribute the increased focus on the, let's say, 'dry' elements of Death's visual language since the end of WHFB to this need to stake out the different conceptual spaces. Less zombies and dire wolves and hanging guts, that's almost entirely Nurgle's wheelhouse now. More skellingtons, morghasts, bone armour, mortarchs and now ghosts. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whelp, the removing 'slain' models means less chaining to objectives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gecktron Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 The "Exploring the Realms" video from the new Age of Sigmar side is interesting:https://ageofsigmar.com/realms/ First the Merchants of Pa'Tar. Hinting at more asia-themed models? Scrappers Spill in Chamon. A giant pile of scraps/trophies from all the green skins in the region, hinting at a more technical destruction faction? Plus name dropping the assassins of Clan Eshin living in Ulgu and the remark that we will get to explore the Realm of Light Hysh somewhere in the near future. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
