Now I'm picturing a cannibal Robert Baratheon wielding a warhammer made from a boar's head drinking blood/wine from a stomach wineskin..... I'm here for it! We know the FEC are gonna be knight/crusade themed due to last week's leak, let's take it all the way! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurnothi is everyone that worships Kurnoth. For example the Kurnoth Hunters. I hope when we get those new 'kurnothi' ppl is not too disappointed if they don't look like they expect. Even whitefang dropped us the reminder, and I think that the reason was to cut off future dissapointment: Oh yes thats why I was saying I hope a few have the animal aspect, I expect most to be more like wood elves, which will be great - I loved the WFB 6th edition aesthetic of wild fae were they more like part of the forest and very wild. The Kurnothi from Cursed City was great. I imagine the animal type ones will either be elites or blessed/champions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire incarnates have been teased in the FS battletome and in DB1 now. So they'll probably be just like Gotrek, and not become part of Fyreslayers.

Can't help but feel those zombie horses for FEC always hinted at something bigger behind what they currently have. Like some kind of test subject for a potential new artistic direction to take the faction in. FEC cavalry doesn't seem like a far stretch to me.

Discworld or Mork Borg? 2 hours ago, SilentSentinel said: A creature based on a wendigo would at least match with the cannibalistic nature of FEC, not sure how it would work with the delusion aspect though. well considering the real life folklore of the wendigo is rooted in spiritual possession and delusional psychosis... but it is not something intended to be used in fiction, and has been heavily misrepresented by the antlered-skull look. Invoking the name alone is thought to invoke the attention of malevolent spirits. https://backstoryradio.org/blog/the-mythology-and-misrepresentation-of-the-windigo/ Using the antlered skull is fine, GW should just shy away from likening it to a wendigo. There are other antlered monsters to choose from, here's the slavic bukavac The Leshy is straight up and down deer skull evil spirit and the Bes looks like it too 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First off, the actual Leshy from Slavic folklore is very removed from the Leshen of the Witcher, their only common point is that they control animals. The Leshy is not an evil skull forest spirit, he's a bit more neutral (just don't disrespect the forest) and he's like a human with hair and beard made of leaves. And the Bes is more like a little demon that kidnaps kids than a big Witcher monster. 3 minutes ago, CommissarRotke said: this guy calls the Incarnate a wendigo, and while that may not have been the developers' intent, it is truly wild that a specifically Slavic faction has a unit design that is immediately recognizable as an American "wendigo" That's because we tend to associate Slavic and Native American folklore because they talk about and were made by two peoples close to nature, especially the rivers and temperate forests. The Wendigo is a very different beast from the Leshy, yet we tend to mesh the two together. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are an interesting case because they were effectively just nighthaunt CAD assets repurposed - quite well - as an endless spell. To many mind that suggests a lack of that thought process re: future direction. That said, completely agree that having some hunched leering ghouls perched atop horrible zombie steeds would be cool. imo it’d be a better alternative to the current approach to delusional noble knights, where the crypt flayers have awkwardly deluded themselves into being both rider and steed.
