Jefferson Skarsnik Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 The icon bearer and the sword and shield marshal in particular have some of the most naturalistic facial details I've seen from GW models, they really have that look of grizzled Brit character actors who've stepped straight out of Game of Thrones 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tervindar Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I really really really hope that they become the poster faction for order going forward. They look incredible, gritty, and not over the top. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acrozatarim Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Quite pleasantly understated in design, by comparison to general AoS aesthetics, which makes for a lovely contrast against other factions. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh sure, when the sigmarite barbarians use necromancy it’s considered a holy rite, but when the liche priests of LONG LOST NEHEKHARA!!! Do it it’s considered blasphemy of the highest order.

Jefferson Skarsnik Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I'm sure I'm not the only one who gazed at the rotting head for a time on this fine Monday afternoon and then just quietly, wistfully muttered "same" 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do it it’s considered blasphemy of the highest order. That said, they have some excellent drip. Actually that was established since AoS1. All the Stormcast with skull helms(Relictors) are reforged necromancers that turned from Nagash. So it’s fitting the main mortal army has necromancy when the guys keeping the God-King’s immortal legions maintained are necromancer-paladins using a mix of necromancy & holy magic to empower souls. That aside, awesome kits to wake up to! Definitely nailing their own unique flair for the Mortal Realms with the right mix of plainness the guards brought for a GoT or even Elden Ring vibe but also some extreme weirdness with talking mummy heads and super big guns that’ll be excellent for customizing an army to come from different realms(these easily from Shyish or Chamon cities) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know @The Red King, I’d say that these guys have the most accurate form of helmet hair that I have ever seen! They look like they just spent an entire afternoon in the midwestern sun playing football and I’m here for it. 3 minutes ago, Neverchosen said: A strong Kentaro Miura style on the new Cities and I am loving it.

On a more serious note, if GW is “borrowing” aesthetics from Miura and Soulsborne stuff I wonder how future projects like Ind and Khuresh will turn out? 3 minutes ago, Asbestress said: Also, another sighting of the "complete Dawnbringer building" terrain in this frankly just awesome image.

Still-young Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 (edited) I really really like that Marshall and Envoy. I’m looking forward to seeing this full range. Gonna give mine 2 swords: Edited May 22, 2023 by Still-young 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lost Sigmarite Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I hope you can go wild with the weapon combinations. I'd probably give him at least one pistol, since looks like the kind of guy you put behind to make heroic actions, give auras and abilities to the blobs in front. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitsumy Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 none comenting anything about how the litle skink on chair cost 45€?? it seems way over the top joke, for a mini that should be 25-33 at best... or salamander being as overpriced as lumineth ballista is. or how the saurus hero on raptor cost almost the same as the unit if 3 raptors 1 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MitGas Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Guys, you don‘t understand…. with GW perhaps taking visual cues from Elden Ring and other FromSoft games, the strange hair and tired faces are just another feature to make them even more SoulsBorne! Be glad they didn‘t give them a face like 50% of the playerbase usually configure! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
