Greybeard86 Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 3 minutes ago, CommissarRotke said: why would narrative players not care *at all* about internal balance..? I don't plan on playing competitively, but even for casual/narrative games I'd like to see rules that feel good. Some people ignoring points changes for narrative play doesn't mean those people also want to ignore warscroll/ability balance and it's wild to say certain players can't engage in mechanical-balance discussions I refer to people who proclaim they don't care about balance, then proceed to complain about others caring. Obviously narrative players may care anout balance. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Templar_Lad Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 (edited) I'm probably being stupid here but I've never seen these artworks before and just thought it was interesting. Was just browsing the Age Of Sigmar website after that new timeline article, and I was 'exploring the realms' and this picture is attached to Ghyran: This pastel style art is seen across each realm section, and the figure to the right of the Stormcast stood out. It could very well be artistic freedom but it just stood out to me since it looks humanoid rather than tree like with a red pauldron and a Sylvaneth style banner. Small chance of Wanderers/Kurmothi tease? One of the artworks for Azyr also has some rather different looking human foot soldiers. Are these old artworks does anyone know?

I was thinking it was probably a Wildwood Ranger with the hood but then they don't usually have pauldrons like that and that's definitely a staff/banner they're holding. The only thing I can't tell is if the branches above their head are just of a Sylvaneth Dryad behind or they are attached to them as some decoration or something.

Great catch and a really cool looking character. It is funny that this is one of the factions/expansions I am most looking forward towards, but I am also not particularly hyped about. Kurnothi feel like a certainty at this point, and I am actually getting frustrated at the wait. Like I loved the Warsong Revenant but they could have just slapped some hooves on him confirming an eventual Kurnothi expansion and called it a day. I am still hoping that the more elite the unit the more atavistic they become. Waywatchers with largely aelvish features and horns, faun-like wardancers and finally centaur styled cavalry. I would hope for more than just those three units, but that could represent a baseline of potential hybridity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyadventurer Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 The Yndrasta article today mentions her people used to ride pegasus. The was rumoured to be a flying SCE cavalry unit coming out, and pegasus knights would certainly make the whole "Bretonnian Stormcast" rumour finally fit.

Are there currently any Pegasus even in the game? I feel like Yndrasta is making the Celestant Prime feel like a relic so I really hope they have plans to make Sigmar's little friend feel special again. Particularly after getting absolutely wrecked by Lady O. I think either a points reduction or a pretty big warscroll rework are in order.

SentinelGuy Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 It also kind of looks like a hydra behind his head as well. As for new Kurnothi - the CoS book has pictures of huge cannons and the lore repeatedly talks about cannons. GW removed the cannon 🤷🤦 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sayin Ghurish Brets as if they were old world brets she'd be a wizard banging on about the watery tart who sold them down the river. But yes, would be nice, or there's a whole lot of her and you have Stormcast Birdmen from flash gordon. Now... *taps finger* Now.... she fought a champion of khorne - Doombreed, does that not stink of Bull to you? As in Doombull... I'd so love khorne to be able to take minotaurs in their army as a thing - which of course, brings me back to our favourite daemon touched bovine champion of Khorne, Taurox the brass Bull, after all, if mirror boy can come back, why not our favourite wrecking ball?

Be real, just 1 thing : 645 points for 30 pinks = 150 HP = 4.3 points / HP Be prepared for the swarm of pinks incoming (And imagine if you could bring back a unit on a 5+ !!!!
