Grunbag Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 (edited) 25 minutes ago, Magnusaur said: Question: What other releases have there been like Snarlfang Riders? They're lovely models and a promising continuation of the Underworld warband, but they felt completely incidental and somewhat incongruous with the rest of Gloomspite. Are they, alongside the rumored Ardboyz revamp, a part of GW's plan to revive back the more traditional "Orcs and Goblins" of old? If so, it feels like a strange direction, seeing how the edition started out with the "deliberately different" Kruleboyz. If the rumors are correct , weirdbrute appearance should be taken from morgok krusha ardskull design. so a new unit based on a WHU sculpt Edited August 20, 2023 by Grunbag 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumineth armybox was not comparable because was one of the first ones and the range was incomplete at this moment. The number is 4. All the Vanguards are one hero and 3/4 units.

They've tried polishing that golden ****** for three editions, it's time to cut losses and go another direction. I hope the fact that you can get Dominion boxes for less than the price of a Vanguard box six months before the release of the new edition woke some folks up. Elf vs. Elf would be great.

Personally don't hate Stormcast, think they are more interesting than SMs at least, but would prefer it if they were not in every start box. Even just putting them in every other start box would be fine. For example 4th: Skaven vs Umbraneth (or whatever they're called), 5th: SCs vs Ossiarch, 6th: Cities vs Ogres etc.... Something like that would be ideal 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamp Trogg Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Oh, the road to disappointment city is gonna be a long one for you folks if you belive in any way that Stormcasts are going anywhere else than in the starter boxes of a new edition! Once again, new editions are meant to gather new players and Stormcasts meant to be easy ton build, paint, and get. Until litteral world ending events, GW will not forgo Stormcasts. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have any porblem with SCE, but I must say that Space Marines, just for the sheer number of campaigns, stories, books, characters, etc. they are a lot more interesting to me than Stormcast. I'm pretty sure that with time, SCE are going to have a lot of material and that's what I'm waiting for, I need a story that "clicks" in me. Btw, can anyone answer a few SCE questions? What happens to a chamber if Sigmar/Lord Commander orders something that contradicts their Lord Imperatant/Lord Celestant orders? Can Nagash or even gorkamorka "corrupt" SCE? Or at least switch the Sigmar-mojo to make them a bit more confused? Like a non-chaotic Torglud. Can they disobey orders? Like "nope, I'm not going to purge this city, do it yourself daddy". Did they had any infight? Like a chamber that for whatever reason attacked another chamber? Doesn't matter if they are right or wrong. Is there anything like Heresy in their mind? Like, instead of people praying to Sigmar, they pray to Stormcast for being their saviours to the point that they gave up on Sigmar? Can they bond or even follow another god than Sigmar that completely contradicts him? Something like Astral Templars, but imagine that Usricht answers their pleas contradicting Sigmar. Thanks in advance! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance! I think the answers for 2-6 is "No that we know so far", funny that yesterday we were talking about SCE heresy and if their soul could be converted into chaos or by Nagash in the Sigmaroteca chat, and the answer to this is yes, as they are just mortals souls. For the first one I would say we don't know. If it comes from a higher rank they would follow that higher rank I guess.

Both Hamilcar's and Blacktalon stories feature Stormcast going in some way against Sigmar's orders (or at least, pursuing their own goals). Without spoilers, Hamilcar even punches Sigmar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
