The Mistweaver has elements that looks surprisingly similar to the silhouette preview and the pile of unidentified rumor mill model photos to be pure coincidence. No the Mistweaver may not be from Hysh, but that doesn’t mean it’s style wasn’t an inspiration for the new model line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Klatz Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 They wouldn't have to change anything. That was near 500 years ago and in a very tumultuous age where afterwards gods returned, civilizations arose and new races appeared. The have limitless elbow room to write that after her passing she and her order were Light worshippers in Ulgu who sought the Tower's wish to bring light to their realm but were martyr'd by Malerion and that inspired Teclis for his new race or virtually anything along those lines.

I almost never use the war bands as a single unit, more as stand ins for the various units they come from. It looks like I either have two blight kings and a Nurgle sorceress, or one blight king, a lord of plague, and a Nurgle sorceress! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willange Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) Wouldn't it be sweet if "Fall of Excelsis" were to give us rules to play Excelsis as one of the Cities of Sigmar. I'm still bummed out that Lethis never got a white dwarf article or anyting to bring it into line with CoS just a bit. Imagine, "1 in 4 units can be Idoneth Deepkin". You could keep most of the other abilities, keep the prayer lore and all that. It could be so awesome!

What if the Fall of Excelsis is a boxed set/supplement that brings Siege warfare to AOS? AND that’s where the giant(s) come in, as part of some sort of perhaps mercenary siege force? Also gives room for the gorddaak ram? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe GW could go in a direction it's never gone and keep Excelsis at a minute to midnight for the next 20 years where it's always underthreat in the lore, but nothing really changes. 2 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koradrel of Chrace Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Or maybe that's where the Pointy Aelves come into the story? Tyrion and Teclis riding in at the darkest hour to save the city. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willange Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 It's hard to imagine they'd be too interested... unless they're after the same thing Tzeentch is, "The Spear of Mallus". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Klatz Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 That'd be excellent! Gargant sieges too but at least the campaign book promised sieges already. I'm torn on Excelsis because it is one of my favorite cities with a great set-up while the Excelsiors are great hatesinks that get the job done. It getting destroyed would stink but at the same time it'd make a more fluid element to the setting that shows nothing's plot-armored safe which i'd like too and fits with the progressive plots GW is slowly changing to. I think the best call would be a global campaign for the cities of Ghur. Seeds of Destruction. See if they can survive or be destroyed and a new Ghur map released to reflect the setting change. (and ideally the destroyed city inhabitants relocate elsewhere for a future "win back our lands" plot) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Klatz Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Haha, probably more often than not. Though if it's a fortress with big enough walls (like the Steppe Khanate capital that housed an army of titans for some really sky touching buildings) or just to protect their squishier allies they likely have to be more creative.

The first three paragraphs, yeah, but I am talking about the last one - which refer to the current Storyline of Gordrakk going to Excelsis with siege engines (with a Godbeast skull mounted on one).
