AquaRegis Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 57 minutes ago, BarakUrbaz said: So analyzing the vision from the short story: The phoenix chicks obviously represent Phonecium itself. I think the lizard actually represents Abraxia's reptilian mount. They did state in order to cure the Flesh Eater Delusion she has to conquer a "certain place", but didn't tell us where. Maybe she has to conquer Phoenicium in order to get like some Aelven magics or something. So Phonecium gets destroyed by Abraxia. Makes complete sense from a business perspective. Destroying that means that GW can write them out and put Phoenix Guard firmly in the old world, and open up the Lumineth for Phoenixes and some more Tyrionic units. Plus it means Lumineth will probably have some rules in DB6. Lore wise? Idk yeah why not. 8 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reminds me a lot to the first edition art. Especially to the first ed big box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ejecutor Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 1 hour ago, CommissarRotke said: of course he'll be missed... he was the bomb after all :') everyone needs to chill out about the trailer IMHO. we've seen the most stable veterans of the Ruination Chamber, coming out of retirement from monasteries. We have not seen the Stormcast being kept inside those Black Towers that Ionus is helping with. the properly F'd up Ruination Chamber may only come after the launch box, which I'm fine with waiting for. Maybe the Black Tower was just what we've called 'Monasteries'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a while now but we have now had spooky candle boys in a Dawnbringers short and pictured for the new 4 player mode and now we have just had a Lumineth story. I can't think what else could really be up for grabs next weekend. The River Temple needs to show their grave on the battlefield and it is time that Aelves get a time to shine in Warcry.

I doubt it, as there's already text that talks about the off-duty places Stormcast use for rest and relaxation? I'm thinking tall and ominous Black Tower, probably with that obsidian-sheen to it, that just releases a swarm of lightning gheists out of all sides when needed.

cyrus Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 2 hours ago, Garrac said: So, instead of a 20 clanrats + 10 stormvermin box seems like we're looking at a 40 clanrats box. I mean, clanrats on the leaks, clanrats on the trailer, clanrats on the artwork... I think the sooner we accept clanrats will get a refresh, the better. No , I am sticking with 20 clan rats + 10 stormvermin ( as 20 hobgrots + 10 gutrippaz in Dominion) Do clanrats use spear ? In the background of the artwork maybe are storvermin ?

The Lost Sigmarite Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 56 minutes ago, AquaRegis said: Lore wise? Idk yeah why not. I remember in AoS1 when there was the Seeds of Hope mini campaign. Order ended up winning that (of course) and it ended up with the founding of 3 Order cities - Greywater Fastness, Living City and Phoenicium. Now one of them is going down. It's a big deal for people who participated in the campaign (I did, one game, and I lost it) that they're using that material for new lore. And it's not a small deal lore wise if the city goes down. My badly painted teenage minis (on square bases at the time) didn't lose my first ever AoS game for this ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's probably just Clanrat unit leader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingBrodd Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 5 hours ago, Goatforce said: Just enjoying the absolute awesomeness of Helldivers 2, and it just struck me, it is perfect as a template for an AoS game. Stormcast literally drop in in lightning like Heldivers in pods, and fight hordes of enemies, and there are vast realms for use in an equivalent to the galactic war. Make this game GW you cowards!! FOR LIBERTY AND DEMOCRACY!! Helldivers 2 is by far the best gaming experience Ive had in the past decade. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Souleater Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 10 hours ago, Neil Arthur Hotep said: 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, We would get new models just not new units. In other words, old 1st Ed Liberators get replaced by new 4oS Liberators using Thunderstrike armour. Rather than something like us having Retributors (big 1st Ed dudes with two handed weapons) and the. Annihilators (big Thunderstrike dudes with two handed weapons) Two really, really similar units. That’s how we’ve ended up with - in my opinion - a bloated roster for SCE. I think we have eight or nine different types of folks with bows… I am sure we could par that down a bit. I want shiny new Thunderstrike and Ruinination stuff…but there are plenty of old sculpts that can be replaced or updated rather than adding more units. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
