Neffelo Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Just now, michu said: Orruks? Least popular? Disagree. Even if they are not that popular right now it's because of lack of GW's focus. All kinds of greenskinz were always one of the most popular factions in both games. I said that Destruction is the least popular grand alliance, and I don't think you can objectively dispute that. Ironjawz is popular, but bonesplittaz was not, and nothing else in the range until Gloomspite was popular in AoS either. I also played WHFB, and Orcs and Gobbos were never one of the most popular factions either. Daemons, High Elves, Dark Elves, Vampire Counts were always at the top of popularity. When the new Ogre tome came out, it easily eclipsed O&G as well. Orcs and Gobbos were not a fringe army like Wood elves and Tomb Kings, but they were not one of the most popular either. They were solidly in the middle of the pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were never popular amongst competitive players, but they were one of the most common sights in all the FLGS I have put my foot in over the years. Still, I agree with you about not expecting vanilla orcs for the foreseeable future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harpo2 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Quote so if they made a Sigmar model, what weapon would he use because the Celestant Prime is borrowing his hammer IIRC. Probably the polearm he has in this picture, not sure if its been named yet. https://warhammerart.com/shop/age-of-sigmar/sigmar-the-god-king/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanzou Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Anyone have any theory or rumour regarding the fate of the Battlemage? It has been shown in multiple cities of sigmar displays and book pics, but is still totally gone from the store... Gone for good, or what else is happening?

michu Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 (edited) Something like that happened with Gutbusters Scrap Cannon - it disappered without LCTB and then it was again in the shop. Edited September 26, 2019 by michu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he DID use his hammer until he and his armor crumbled to dust. I would assume Lady Olynder has the hammer now ???

I understand vanilla greenskin are not a thing anymore, but maybe they could have use ardboys to fit that role? I thought the wording of that was just allowing them to keep the option for adding more warclans in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because she killed the celestant prime in the last campaign, but it may be unclear where the hammer is? either way maybe he will eventually get a rules update sometime in the future 🤷♂️ Edited September 26, 2019 by Mandzak-Miniatures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurrilino Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 2 hours ago, Cèsar de Quart said: Excuse me? Who has the Hammer now? The Prime went against Olynder to prevent her from freeing Nagash's "mysterious" creature. He almost won but was killed in the end by Olynder. Since nobody else but Olynder and her Ghosts were around, i assume they have the hammer now. Everything else needs an exceptional explanation.

AthlorianStoners Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Would the hammer not go back to Azyr with him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I would have assumed it's somehow "enchanted" by the same magic that usually makes Stormcast stuff go back to Azyr. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakithe Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Maybe the hammer can only be picked up and moved by those who are worthy like a certain other lightning based deity...so it could be right where he 'died'. He just needs to go get it. Or it was beamed back like everything else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overread Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Current theory is "Hero Man" the poster character that appears in a poster on some pages in the comic when showing the humans. Also the Orruk Warclands and Free Cities tabs are now up in the GW Store! It's coming - the Pre-order is really coming - its happening people! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forrix Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Yeah, it feels like its usually around 4 or 5 my time, central us, so 9 or 10am NZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
