Ejecutor Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 5 hours ago, EonChao said: One thing I just noticed about the trailer is the Stormcast's human form is dressed and armed very similar to some of the Darkoath. It's a little touch but it adds to that connection between those who remained and those who escaped to Azyr or became Stormcast. Taking into consideration that during the Chaos period, those dying outside of the cities would be in most cases Darkoaths, it makes sense. And we have a new aesthetic to exploit and use.

It feels like a subtle difference between traditional grimdark ("Stormcast are reforged so many times, eventually they go mad") and a more humane, but equally tragic setup ("Stormcast are eventually retired under mostly dignified circumstances, but war demands that they go back to fighting.") Having said that, I definitely also want to see some more unhinged warriors. I think the Dreadnought metaphor works quite well, with them being ancient, venerable, and impossible to replace. Apropos nothing, but has there ever been mention or speculation of Stormcast tanks? There was a rumour about Stormcast Deadnoughts indeed, but no tanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Souleater Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 My main army is Stormcast. I really don’t want to see more units! There are enough OG 1st or 2nd edition Stormcast units that can be redone into the modern, better proportioned style. Leviathan (the 10th Ed 40K launch box) suffered from units the seemed to have been invented just to fill box space. I was hoping that GW would begin merging very similar units into single entries…but going by the exact opposite happening with the Tau codex…that seems a distant hope. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your source is right but he is expecting one week preorder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see this for established players. But on the other hand, as someone who does not currently have a Stormcast army, I am closer to starting one than ever before. Between Thunderstrike and Ruination, I am really into their aesthetic right now. If I can find a sub-30 model list that I like, I will probably be starting the army next edition, 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EntMan Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 40k fans "No, the Emperor is definitely absolutely good! He's the good guy!" AoS fans "No, Sigmar is terrible evil and bad!" 🤣 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lost Sigmarite Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Sigmar is definitely more benevolent than the Emperor. Sigmar can see the individuals in the people that serve him, the Emperor can't (except Malcador) and just sees the bigger mass of "mankind" with no individuality.

Ejecutor Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 I have a question for those of you who know more about dates, guys. I check every day a second-hand site and today I found this: I clicked in the CoS out of curiosity and he is saying that it would be released on April 20th. Is it even possible for someone to know already that release date? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they have been informed about the release date of these products. Just guessing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will see all contents of the box during a preview in May, but I guess they will start showing some single models earlier like last year with 40k.

Garrac Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 (edited) Btw, I already noted it earlier, but Im gonna talk about this again: the clawlord is handling a mini-ratling gun. Why is this important? Because bringing back the old weapon teams on just an updated note would be weird since skavens have now the technology to make versions slightly smaller. So, yeap, despite my relunctancy, it is highly possible that this artillery thing is in fact a ratling gun. The sprue isnt compatible with multimodularity, but I guess there'll come a new remade one in the future that allows the weapon in the top to change (and flesh slayers will be tossed up to legends because theres no way you can toss it up on the kit's idea) Edited March 22 by Garrac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EntMan Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 How does the narrative timeline work in AoS? Following the release of the cinematic trailer does this mean that in the narrative 'present' that Skaveblight is now present for all to see in the realms? So has this event now happened from the perspective of all the fiction from now on such as the next Dawnbringers books and WarCom short stories?

I guess this is happening after Dawnbringers 6 or during the end of the book. Hammerhall is under siege, so makes sense that the pact between Archaon and the GHR happened to put even more pressure on the city. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damosane2 Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 I'm guessing the red clawlord was what the rumour was talking about and Queek isn't returning then ? Hopefully that means the big named character is Ikrit! I also think vandus's prophecy that he becomes a lightning gheist will be true when Khul kills him but he will be shoved in a stormcast dreadnought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a problem with previewing the next edition before book 6 is out. The events of book 6 and the shorts will lead up to the appearance of Skavenblight. From 4th edition onwards Skavenblight will be there in the same way that the nature of the realm of death is reversed permanently after the events of Malign Portents 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Kim Woof-Woof Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 So, let me get this right... Archaon has said that the Great Horned Rat is officially the fifth official Chaos God?
