This really depends on whether you decide to take the WFB into account. He was the Witch King after all. But even in AoS - my perception is that Morathi is a second-tier god and Malerion is the real Druchii Chad, just waiting to be unleashed.

Snarff Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 IMO, it would be a really bad look for GW to take their single mainly woman focused faction in AoS, which has been getting lore and expansions for 3 editions and whose leader just recently finally became a major godess after 5+ years of buildup, only to merge it with a new faction and have it be led not by her, but by a relatively unimportant to AoS god who she is most definitely not on good terms with. 10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need of reunification. 2 diferent battle-traits. We already have Seraphons (with Starborne and Coaliesced) and SCE (with Scions of the Storm and Watchful Guardians) that already do that. Attach each god to one of this battle-traits and you are ready to go. Edited September 13, 2023 by Beliman 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't think taking wfb too much in account is worthwhile. If he's a leader in the book (and model) but Morathi stays the face, that would be better than another male led faction on the heap.

You can use the same set of minis as two distinctly different forces and I really like this idea for the Dark Elves - having the Blood (Morathi) and Shadow (Malerion) version of the unified force. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see GW bringing back the creatives from release to release. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked this bit about Ardboys in particular: Quote We had this idea that they’d form up against a charging monster like a regular shield wall… and then still lunge forward before receiving the charge. They’re orruks, they just can’t help themselves! Really love their new sculpts, I never would've fielded the old sculpts because they looked out of place to me, but the new ones make me want to start playing Ironjawz again.

It might definitely lead to a heavily diluted identity for DoK though, especially if Malerion is just shoved in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was the harbinger thing, the grimhold exile being one of them. The other reason is that FS are one of the 1st edition mini factions, and with FEC getting some kind of update, and rumours of Slyvaneth getting something as well.

Clan's Cynic Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 (edited) Part of me is sceptical about getting more Fyreslayers (sans the Warcry team) before 4.0 by virtue of the Grimhold Exile being in Book 1, but then I remembered Trugg is technically a Gloomspite model and they already got the Rabble-rowza in Book 1, so I guess anything's possible. Considering one of the Crusades is in Aqshy there's as good an excuse to add them now as ever.

With Harrowdeep they just reboxed the starter set teams without the rulebook and boards for a bit cheaper, so there's no guarantee they'll get a standalone release. Either way, they'll probably land whenever Deathgorge goes up for pre-order. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes makes sense if there is a crusade in Aqshy then fyreslayers would be involved heavily just like a crusade in ghyran would bring in the Sylvaneth/Kurnothi. Both would be good narrative reasons to release new models. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
