Clan's Cynic Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 19 hours ago, EonChao said: I'm honestly kind of wondering if similar to the possibility of Dwarf soup we've got Dark Elf soup coming, combining Idoneth, DoK and the Dark Eldar Cities kits. Har Kuron is specifically mentioned in the video and that seems like a reasonable way to start uniting them. I can see DoKhaine being merged into whatever Malekith's lot are, but Idoneth just feel too distinctive visually and in lore to really soup well into that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both armies are popular enough (if you look at player surveys and tournament stats) that GW can justify selling books for each. I don't think they want to soup armies where you can comfortably sell two books. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd object to 'renting' the rules. If I want rules for my faction I'll pay once to own them forever. I don't want to loose them when I stop paying. Like I buy music rather than subscribng to stream. If times get hard for me and I have to cut back financially I don't want at that point to loose all my music/rules/stuff that makes me happy. I'll stop now, this has been done to death in other threads when the app came out and free warscrolls disappeared. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if I think about players that want to be always updated and maybe skip from faction to faction, a way to give them access to all the rules at a fair price would be interesting as well, imho ^-^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noserenda Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I mean, its entirely possible to have e-rules without a crappy app and subscription model, one of my biggest problems with the current app is it not running on PCs! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty soon one by one each unit will be squatted until only the coalition remains. That is how we will get the new game system Age of Guilliman... you see Horusy Heresy provides too many non-space marine options. But in reality, I think it is not too hard to see why people suspect that the Dark version of Lumineth might be a soup army. As it will lead to an army led by dual gods in opposition to the gods of light/magic. Like the evidence is not directly textual or rumoured, as much as a sneaking suspicion that it would lead to a proper narrative and gameplay foil to the Lumineth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup to the dark mirror image suapicion. Been saying the same thing for months, because it would make sense. And since DOK already have a decent range of models they wouldn't even need to develop that many units for Malerion's gang. And we know that GW is just not into making units for AOS these days, with the Crossboos being the first new unit in about half a year. With that being said I would like for Morathi to stay on her own. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

novakai Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I always assume that Malerion was going to get a Lumenith army release and just be basically a brand new army without using any of the current CoS stuff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noserenda Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 What i would like to see is Malerions lot seconding a few units to DoK before their full release, cheekily giving them a slightly bigger release because they are shaky allies rather than one army, would be a big shame to cripple Morathis arc by putting her under her sons wing again, especially as the Alarielle the only other femme presenting god is so dependant on Sigmar right now. I mean ideally id quite like for her to pull a Nagash and form her own Grand alliance so Order isnt twice the size of the others but thats less plausible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wait is no fun but at some point we gotta stop acting all surprised and adjust expectations accordingly. We'll get there eventually. For now, I'm focusing my pile of unattended plastic crack. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean the obvious difference is that DoK have thrived on their own, built out a wider model base and been a strong part of the evolving narrative. Ironjawz have also done reasonably well out of being split off but I don't know where else Bonesplitterz could have gone (aside from Legends ofc). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhetoric Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Got to give it to GW that they put a new unit into the upcoming battle box, on top of the new NH hero. I will be the first to admit that I thought their MO was a single new infantry hero in these 3rd Ed battle boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This bloke looks incredible and I'll definitely be picking one up. The Yehtee for Mawtribes is the mini besides the Butcher in most dire need of updating. With the Kroxigor and Rat Ogor getting new sculpts for Blood Bowl and now the Yehtee, my hope is that GW has done other designs for AOS proper. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyshadow Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 This new Yhetee looks a bit too generic fantasy for me - although this is just fine for Blood Bowl. I hope any new Yhetee for Age of Sigmar keeps the lanky-fast look. (As an aside, I rebased my old unit of Yhetees last month. Reminded me how much charm they have!). 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
