They didn't replace normie High Elves, they added to normie High Elves. Other Normie High Elves are on the way with Swordmasters. Taking something to eleven doesn't automatically replace one to ten. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EccentricCircle Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Witchfinders are notably absent from the game at the moment. Given how prominant they are in the lore and background, its slightly surprising that they didn't even leave them a single model. Clearly the model development is quite decoupled from the lore, particularly where black library is concerned. However, it does seem like quite a big oversight!

Dreddships Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Honestly, I'm calling saying Stormcast as a starter side is guaranteed for at least the foreseeable future - whether we go back to WFB's system of unique pairs is up to debate, but at this stage, I'd doubt it? They're aesthetically an obvious 'good' faction, they're easy to paint and rules-wise they're fairly simple. They bounce off nicely with their 'evil' opponents so far in every box too - Nighthaunt, as a particular shoutout, worked as a nice opponent visually. Stormcast getting a release every few years doesn't bother me, all things considered, because unlike over in a certain sci fi game, they dont get released over updating and releasing newer content - probably because they don't accommodate for such a large portion of the player base. After all, last time I checked at least, the factions were fairly split amongst each other with very minimal outliers - compared to a single faction being the majority of bought miniatures. Just as long as we dont get Stormcast Primes released at £30 every few weeks and the other factions get equal love, we're doing alright. 11 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeryenn Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I'm impressed how GW was restrained with flooding us with stormcasts for a more than year, two even I think. I can forgive them a new starter. Just please don't make them ubiquitous like 40k marines - they are literally the last army I would consider to collect because I'm tired just by reading about their 200th model released in the past years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me the obvious solution is a cities of sigmar starter. It's requested constantly, everyone wants to see freeguild get AoSified. I'd expect the approach to mirror how they did Slaves to Darkness: update old classics (chaos warriors and knights/freeguild guard and greatswords), add some weird new stuff (ironweld centerpieces) and keep the rest for a bloated but pleasingly diverse faction. In the fiction, it's up there with stormcast as protagonist faction. Since they can field stormcast as 1/4 of their army, a cities starter box could still include 1 or two SCE units. They could easily do a stormcast update within that release window, give em a new book and a few units but the bulk goes to cities and their opponent (Skaven would be cool). A freeguild and ironweld arsenal focused update (keeping the various elf and duardin factions we have already) would be a slam dunk. They could do units of freeguild guard that mix aelves, duardin and humans (like Warcry does). Something for everyone. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want plain looking satyrs and centaurs for Kurnothi, and then valhalla dawi also plain looking...I mean seriously, not like the old ones weren't outrageous anyway I just hope old world isn't all like those magic kislev whatever, but that they recover the more "grounded" aesthetic a tad. I mean, for insanely looking things, we already have plenty of stuff in AoS. To me, it no longer stands out as everything is kinda wacky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morglum StormBasha Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I don’t really want stormcast in the next starter but if they are in it I’d rather they revisit the warrior chamber and just give us some female liberators and female prosecutors models. That way it diversifies the line without rules bloat. my preference would be either lumineth or cities for “good” vs slaves/darkoath or Ironjawz for “bad”. alternartively Kurnothi vs new Beasts of Chaos would be great 12 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
