Cool that GW remembers Gavriel exists, because I sure didn’t. He’s yet another named Hammer of Sigmar that launched in AoS1, so forgive me. I wonder what that big black tower is. I feel like they’re introducing it now because it’s gonna pop back up in the narrative eventually. It’s for Ionus ? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, too, joined AoS to late to experience it, but Gavriel Sureheart was pretty infamous for a while as part of the "Gav Bomb", which involved spamming his warscroll command ability (they were not limited to once per phase at that point) to give Stormcast ridiculous movement and a turn 1 charge. That tower is super interesting, though, I agree. Especially since apparently Cities and Stormcast are the ones collaborating on it. It being related to Ionus somehow makes the most sense. I can only thing of it being anti-Death somehow, otherwise, with the mention of Lethis. But Death does not seem like a major threat in the current narrative. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrawlingCleaner Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Could the Tower be where they put the rumoured Last Life Stormcast? Maybe they're in a berzerker rage and need to be kept there until they're released to die one last time? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lethis is mentioned because he was from there. If I remember correctly Iounus is an ancient familiar of the Ven Denst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is an anti-Death weapon, it’s either unbelievably powerful, or designed to kill the FEC, since the Bonereapers, Nighthaunt, and SBGL don’t much linger in Aqshy to the best of my knowledge, at least compared to other realms. Most likely it’s analogous the the Tower of The Damned on Baal where the Stormcast Death Company is kept. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait for Skaven to blow it up eventually. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a rumour about something like Dreadnoughts but used for those Stormcast souls that Ionus was seeking, so my bet is that it is related to that. Like their 'forge'. Especially considering that those building the tower are dwarves. Grugni approves. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojojojo101 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 The stone tower being built from Lethisian rock in a design similair to other Relictor temples, as well as it's construction and purpose being so secretive, does suggest to me that it is someone way related to Ionus' quest to 'solve' the issues with the reforging process. Why he'd build the tower in Aqshy I don't know. Maybe something to do with the leylines that Trugg finds so annoying. In some ways though you kind of have to hope Ionus fails in his quest because the flaw in reforging is one of the best aspects of Stormcast lore. While I'm not all that jazzed about resculpts to the 1ed Stormcast stuff, the prospect of Vandus leading some lightning gheists / Stormcast Dreadnaught type guys is super cool. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordSolarMach Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 (edited) I know I'm a little late to the Beastmen discussion, but I do recall that when Ogroid Theridons were shown my first thought was "oh cool, new Minotaurs" followed by "wait, StD?" So I've had a paranoia about BoC being reduced and folded into StD for awhile now. // As to a "big Beast" that some people mentioned wanting, the 7th edition WHFB Army Book mentioned Ramhorns in a couple places. It was said that Beastmen would attach the skull of a Ramhorn onto the gate of a keep, and when the (rather stupid) Ramhorn noticed it, it would charge and shatter said gate. There was also a piece of art which may have been intended to represent them, or just been the fancy of the artist: Edited February 2 by LordSolarMach 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vagard Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Depends for who I guess... My guess is Khul will kill Vandus to ascend and Vandus who is probably on his last reforge will come back as a dreadnought or something that looks like the last reforged 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until we see what's actually being released for them to compare with their alleged rumour it can't be marked as confirmed. And even then they've been even more vague than Valrak talking about AoS with what they said. Likewise with the Chorfs, we've had plenty of hints they're coming over the last year anyway. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
