The question remains : will a potential Catacomb-style board in Warcry 2nd ed. be more like the original Catacombs (a few scenery) or the Kill Team Space Hulk (full walls and add-on sprues) ??

(Well, having to finish my Age of Myth Chaos ruins for Warcry I refrained from buying the WIP Dawnbringers buidlings, so getting some in the 4th Launch Box would be very sweet indeed ). Who would sign with me an online petition for GW to release Intact City Of Sigmar - Stormcast Buildings / Fortress, like in pic rel (from Realms Of Ruin) ??? I will join that petition. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey maybe this one dude is gonna turn the whole faction/range around! I don't play fyreslayers (or really see them on the table much) so I don't really care either way. But I also wouldn't consider a single hero and a Warcry band to be particularly substantial updates to the range. Especially considering we now know that Warcry units have a limited lifespan. (RIP my 2 year old Horns of Hashut) Also of note, BOC were featured in the Thondian story line (along with a new hero) and Dawnbringers includes short stories about Kurnothi models which aren't even a thing yet outside of underworlds. So I wouldn't necessarily put my hope in narrative inclusion as a sign of a range refresh. They had a decent presence during the third edition. A dual box for them and Idoneth, a big presence in Dawnbringers... way better than BoC, but the most important stuff. This has been the exception, not the rule. We don't have to be worried for every single faction that doesn't have 10 kits during an edition. Edited April 29 by Ejecutor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If, against the odd, GW indeed does a Sigmarite City Setting for Warcry 3 next year, then I (and probably @Asbestress) would be pretty interested in something like Dave Ghallager's concept for Hammerhal Aqsha : (Nice Piranesi influence there) Didn't we have already most of the scheduled stuff between scenery kits here and there? For example, the bell and the altar give me bibes from he objectives on the 3rd edition. Another one for the objectives from the 2nd edition...

I think the original Catacombs was not very well welcomed (I think it was quite overpriced by the time), so if I have to guess it I would go full walls like the boarding actions.

Meh. yes, that is because GW is flipping factions each week... it is an "odd" week hence Stormcast. Next week they will be even reveals... Skaven will have 3.

The Lost Sigmarite Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Am I the only one to notice the Hallowed Knights steel armour is darker now ? Or is it just the way the minis are shot that's tricking me ? Really feels like their armour has gone from Leadbelcher to a darker metallic like Iron Warriors. Or they used more generous amounts of Nuln Oil.

They got a VS box with IDK with a new hero earlier in the edition, then the Harbringer Hero with a new special discount box, the Warcry Band and accompanying Dawnbringer rules that's barely six months old and also a new anniversary resculpt of the Runesmiter. That's three new hero models and a warband just in 3E. They also feature prominently in the art and photography for the new Grombrindal model that's not even out yet. Most importantly, Fyreslayers are not part of TOW, there is no chance another game system is going to lay claim to them and pull them away like with BoC. If Fyreslayers are in danger of being abruptly removed, so are 90% of AoS armies and nothing means anything. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EonChao Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 I really like the new Prosecutors. Definitely think the improvements to the posing and wings over the old ones is exactly what they needed. I think they'll have fully enclosed heads on the sprues as well as these but either way these might be my favourite models from the new box (and I was lukewarm on the old Prosecutors) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they used more generous amounts of Nuln Oil. I just looked back at the article, which conveniently has and image of the new Liberator and Reclusion adjacent to each other. The silver on the liberators is noticeably brighter. The darker tones on the Prosecutor and Reclusian are probably meant specifically for Ruination units (the article makes it clear that Prosecutors are now Ruination.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much larger and more comprehensive I don't see them getting a complete overhaul, but something more in the line of Fec: they get to keep what's already in plastic, have their resign models redone in plastic, plus a few all new units.

novakai Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 2 hours ago, BarakUrbaz said: Fyreslayers did play a role in early Dawnbringers what with the whole rivalry with King Trugg thing. Honestly I think Kharadron get about just as much attention in the narrative as Fyreslayers do and I see nobody saying they're neglected. Kharadron have actual black library novels though where FS have none among other things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarakUrbaz Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 (edited) 6 minutes ago, novakai said: Kharadron have actual black library novels though where FS have none among other things There are a bunch of Fyreslayer stories. Arguably, no dedicated Fyreslayer novels, but: *Legends of the Age of Sigmar: Fyreslayers, which is a compliation of short stories and a novella. *Bonereapers, a novella which while the Bonereapers themselves get top billing the Fyreslayers are the main heroes opposing them. *Heirs of Grimnir, an audio drama spinoff of Realmslayer that focuses purely on Fyreslayers. *Grombrindal: Chronicles of the Wanderer, which is evenly divided between Dispossessed, Fyreslayers and Kharadron with neither really getting more focus than the others. *Soulslayer, a Gotrek novel which is something like 70% Fyreslayer focused.

They do show up in BL novels all the time though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
