Maybe... the whole ship is next? By contrast this contraption actually looks like it could work (if a bit dangerous!) and flying fish is what I'd put in the "because magic" category. The point is, the mounted on an ogre bucket just doesn't have that "because magic" vibe some of the crazier stuff AoS has. LRL got that Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon things going on which also supported with "because magic" with a dash of "because elves." It isn't that big of a deal and I do not have to like every mini. It just feels out of place. Maybe it'll start making more sense and more of the line is released. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lost Sigmarite Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 1 hour ago, sandlemad said: There was some really cool fan art of what an elven member of the Freeguild infantry might look like. This is of course linked to the older WHFB landsnecht aesthetic but I think the idea works well. Slightly more refined than the human uniform and incorporating classically High Elvish pointy helm, feathers, sash, large belt, assorted gems and elvish gubbins. I think something similar with the new CoS aesthetic could work well, either as a new unit or preferably mixed in. And of course we have a long history of dwarves in WHFB imperial gear rather than horned helms and big runes. Elves with guns ! Yeah ! I really hope we get to see this in the new range. If not... it's a very simple conversion to put a pointy eared head on a human body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's in the same vein as those stupid rocket launcher chainguns that Primaris got: it is inevitable when everything else in the setting wants to kill you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogregut Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Assuming there is a army box for Cities, I assume that what they've shown so far will be in it General 10 warriors 5 knights Ogre sniper I can see another 10 strong unit as well maybe, handgunners?

Thoughts? Speculation? My guess is similar. Foot Marshal 10 Freeguild Guard 10 Freeguild 'Handgunners' 5 Cavaliers Artillery piece (depending on size). I also wouldn't put it past them to include a second foot hero instead of the 'Artillery', like a Warrior Priest, Witch Hunter or (new) Battlemage since they did that with the Votann set.

Thoughts? Speculation? I agree with you except I'd probably drop the knights- Marshal on foot to command the 10 infantry Fusil-Major on ogor to command 10 handgunners artillery seems like the best thing to release separately tbh. Cities feels like it's going to live and die by its commanders. Launch box giving us a split between infantry and gunlines allows players a choice on expanding the army out more than being saddled with artillery right off the bat. you could easily add the knights to an infantry or gunline force too however...it really could just be the Marshal, 10 infantry, and 10 knights like the Seraphon box Lumineth got 5 less cav with theirs.

I'm wondering if we'll get different types of priests this time around? the teaser articles mentioned a few different cults. It would be cool to see warrior priests of Grungni or even Alarielle edit: there's a bunch of minor Gods or Godbeasts to pick from too I think??

Considering how they specified different cults among the sigmarite worshippers i think we'll get only those sadly(cult of the wheel,church of the Heldenhammer and so on).... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have modelled this with two bases, a separate one with the crow nest being moved around and planted by the Ogre, but the backpack routine.. quite wonky 😂 this came to me in a fever dream (driving home from work): that was the original plan but the ogors kept enjoying the fight too much and forgot to pick the crow nest back up 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogregut Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 With the past army boxes (lumineth, slaves, guard, squats, lizards) did they include anything they haven't shown already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Black Templars one reused the Redemptor Dreadnought and Strike Force Augustus reused Heavy Intercessors, but those were the only exceptions I think (and probably had a lot to do with Marines always selling). Given how much of the Cities line is being revamped, it'll probably be 100% new stuff. Edited June 21, 2023 by Clan's Cynic 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WE NEED WHALES. I wonder if GW had an AOS version of a whale and then Avatar The Way of Water came out and the design of the Tulkun were in a way similar? Not that it would affect a mini already designed or anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
