We are already waiting for too much stuff to come out that is way more likely. In order of significance/likelyhood, so far we are still waiting for: Soulblight Gravelords Tyrionic Lumineth Kurnothi Umbraneth Order of Azyr Whatever Grungni is up to Grotbag Scuttlers Chaos Dwarves And even if GW decided to unexpectedly introduce chaos halflings into the game, it probably would not be as a full faction. An underworlds or warcry warband, maybe, but all underworlds warbands are already planned out for this year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Remember Old World is only just about to get their first Cathay models through Warhammer Total War 3 - and that's after 30 years of Old World. GW will always have factions, races, concepts that are present in the lore or in art or one off model releases which never translate to a full army or to a component of a full army. Be keen by all means, but don't set your heart on the hinted and the unreleased. Do keep your mind and collection in the now, if just to tide you over for the months/years/decades you might have to wait. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does make me worry that people are correct in speculating that this is just the old Slaanesh rules with some beautiful new mortal models tossed in. The article does end with the promise of future info although it is likely to only focus on the new units.

Overread Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Interesting that there's no much mention of the new baby - I wonder if that means GW is hiding some subfactions from us or if they are intending it to be a new mystery that won't be resolved for some time yet. They also show that a Lord of Pain being a general lets you take the new heavy infantry mortals as Battleline which is a great thing for those who want to do a mortal themed force. Seekers being a subfaction still makes me pleased! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinros Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) The only new thing is that pretenders lore has been changed in some fashion. edit:Nevermind, noticed that the Lord of Pain makes our elites dudes battleline. Pretenders Some particularly glorious champions simply will not tolerate the eyes of the Dark Prince on anyone but themselves *cough* Sigvald *cough* and will fight all the harder for it.

Or you could instead do Hammerers/Long Beards! It might need some greenstuff, clipping and filing which are all skill outside of my own pay grade 😉 Edited February 10, 2021 by Neverchosen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully at the very least those new warscrolls can move Slaanesh away from the one boring build around summoning they have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enoby Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I think the old hosts on their own were fine - minor ways to benefits and flavourful ways to build an army. Shame there's no massive change, but the only thing that really needs to change is depravity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enoby Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Also, interestingly, no mention of depravity at all in that article. Normally the hosts have their own unique ways to generate, and you'd think that'd be mentioned, but nothing at all. Maybe I'm looking to much into it, but I hope this means a depravity change 😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overread Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 They've not mentioned a lot of things though - spells, new warscrolls in detail, artifacts, any other subfactions, battalions. Heck DoK have had even less and they aren't getting a halfdozen new models at the same time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shinros Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) Seems Sigmar tries to retake the city and fails. Unless the warhammer community is messing up the lore again and rehashing broken realms incorrectly. Even though the God-King sent a great army to retake the city, Anvilgard remains in Morathi’s hands, renamed Har Kuron, the City of Scales.

I am curious with the acknowledgment of Morathi taking Anvilgard/Har Kuron if they would be willing to change the name of Cities of Sigmar to Cities of Order or some other broader title to reflect the possibility of various gods being worshiped and followed in the cities? It also gives me hope that the rules for Har Kuron will continue to be supported as I am very into the idea of running a Melussai/Corsair themed army. Also as an aside does Morathi preclude running Melusai as battleline? It is sad that I cannot build a pure snake army around the snake lady god.

The Snake Lady god also does nothing for Avatars of herself... you‘d expect them to live starting with turn one, but they don‘t interact with her presence at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am afraid that stacking even more bonuses on an already close-to-auto-take element would only worsen list variety. I hope the new battletome provides valuable alternatives for DoK. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
