Captaniser Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 1 hour ago, EonChao said: Honestly I'd be fine with the Silent Ones just being a Warcry and Underworlds warband to represent one of the smaller weird parts of the setting. Then if they're popular and GW think it has legs and popularity then expand them into a full faction for Destruction. Reads like the best option for expanding the denizens of the mortal realms without having to make a too large up-front investment. I could totally see Kurnothi, Silent People, Ogor subcultures, and other displaced races fighting under the Cities of Sigmar banner as a warcry warband that may or may not be expanded on a few years down the line. Just the added versatility and world-building this would bring would be realm-shaking. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurnothi and firebellies could be at least handful of units for existing armies though (with allegiance like troggoths) if we think about Sylvaneth and Ogors. Silent people seems "too alien" to have something to ally with even in a "tau auxiliaries" style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lost Sigmarite Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 4 hours ago, Luperci said: Also Grungni doesn't seem to have a grudge against the KO for abandoning the old duardin way, I mean it was kinda his fault for leaving them in the age of chaos. KO have embraced the creative and shaping part of the dwarf psyche, to the point were their science is so advanced they don't need gods anymore - is totally in line with the philosophy of Grungni, the dwarf god of the forge and by extension, creation and shaping. This is why KO are the Grungni duardins - not because they worship him but because they embraced his philosophy. 4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acrozatarim Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 I like the rather Gigeresque skeleton/insect carapace aesthetic fusion in the Silent People art. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A brand new army right off the bat ? I don't really know, seems too good to be true. But Warcry is the perfect setting to introduce such a novel concept - test the waters for a potential bigger release later on. And I do think a Warcry band of Silent Ones would sell well. AoS players will want them to play them, 40k players to convert them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not about being more or less interesting, is about Warcry being the little brother for AoS, giving him usable units and having less room to investigate. Probably Warcry is already set to renew units, like what happened with Gorgers, so Underworlds, with its less unit-like approach and chances to have different minis with different bases, could lead to more exploration and variation for the Silent People test.

The snippet we got proves they have sapience (toolmaking, complex communication, appraising/observing). They seem to be TBQH I think any sapient species can and should be able to live in a COS--we already have the precedent of not only Seraphon but Orruks living alongside humans/aelves/duardin. We also know Sigmar worship is not necessary. They could be similar to Reclaimed where it's a refugee/migrant situation. If they also hate Chaos, there is absolutely some kind of room for them to ally with Order factions IMHO. Especially when we know there are non-Sigmar City States that are allowed to (co)exist. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Underworlds was to me, the designers able to go wild with new ideas and potential for the future. Then Warcry kicked in the door once it was done just doing Chaos Warbands and opened the floodgates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faction can't be described as Grungni duardins if he doesn't have some level of aythority over it. So right now the best candidate to be called as Grungni's faction are Gholemkind because he literally gave them life. But you are right KO are the one who he truly proud of and we already have so called "Rogue Admirals" who refuse to follow the Code and helping other Duardins all over the Mortal realms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverstu Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 6 minutes ago, Nezzhil said: They are going out of Beastgrave at the same time that Kragnos stomp affected all the Destruction factions. I could also see them just dropping them as a brand new faction, rather than teasing them outing Warcry/Underworlds. The shock/surprise of something brand new, I still remember the first time I saw the KO reveal video and I wasn't expecting that- could do the same with the Silent People. Could get Nid players into AoS [not the same but a similar vibe..], I think they could do well. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ejecutor Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 (edited) It doesn't matter in which grand alliance the Silent People is. We know chorfs are coming, and presumably we would have Malerion after that. So if they are coming, we won't see them until at least... 2032? A lot of things can change until that. Edited March 9 by Ejecutor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
