Twisted Firaun Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 54 minutes ago, Dragon-knight77 said: They too are on the cusp of losing themselves to the curse of Reforging, but their resolve is unshakeable – said to be a gift from the death god Morrda. In truth, their Gryph-stalker mounts can mark people for death, draining their life force and transferring it to their rider in an act unsettlingly akin to necromantic hexes. oh look like we even delving into Morr lore pun intent with the connection of other gods in Sigmar pantheon. cool to see if they play around with that in other models stuff like Mirmidh/Myrmidia & Father of Blades Always a good thing when deities besides Sigmar get to shine in the lore. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malakithe Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 I absolutely love everything in the box. It's very rare to like both sides to a box set and this will be a first for me. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soul wars for me got me into AoS. Just a shame it didn't have the right numbers of models for units. If it had, had that, it'd have been perfect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Klatz Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 2 hours ago, Ejecutor said: This new map really emphasises the massive size of the Mortal Realms. Check how time the dots are with the mapped regions we know from each realm. Biggest win is for Realm of Light stans. People keep thinking it’s a small Realm because everything’s revealed(as the light does) but you see they even had to use a much bigger magnifying glass on Ymetrica because as a mega-continent(literally what it’s called) you can fit 5 Great Parch’s on it’s landmass! Loremaster vindication! 🪶🤓🪐 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neverchosen Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 In terms of lore I am excited to see them discuss the pantheon as their has been a major shake up over time with the introduction and ascendency of further gods. However, I am curious to see if the Big Gods (Sigmar, Gorkamorka, Grimnir, Gurgni, Teclis, Tyrion, Alarielle, Nagash, and Malekith) continue to have a rarified relationship like the Olympians or if they will be more on par with the newer gods such as Morathi and Kragnos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Kim Woof-Woof Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 I'm genuinely delighted for all the Skaven players out there (and the couple that I regularly play against). They've had to wait a long time for this, and persevere with ancient models. These new rats look the total business! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snorri Nelriksson Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 I was worried when people talked about scenery that the units would be less,i'm glad it's not the same. Probably going to take it for the Ruination chamber but keeping the rats also(as a dawi player i need to mantain enemies closer than friends ahaha). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boingrot Bouncer Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Although great new minis I still feel like a big reveal of the new edition box should have had some more. Are there any more new units for the start factions? Which factions are next in line for a battle tome? There doesn't need to be dates or months for it but some kind of plan for the future would have been nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skreech Verminking Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 4 hours ago, Neverchosen said: I feel like I cannot justify the boxset for financial and storage reasons, but I think I will struggle not to pick it up. I unfortanately cannot find anyone interested in the skaven half which is absurd to me as they are by far one of the most popular factions and these sculpts are nearly perfect! Still I feel like maybe I can free up some shelf space for some little rats and holy knights... Which is funny, because I’m having the same struggle with the marine players😂. nobdoy wants to collect the stormy marines, and for some reason those who did stopped and sol their collection after the culling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acrozatarim Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 That's a lot of clanrats. Interesting - the Stormcast get a Veritant, who I believe is a priest, while the Skaven get a wizard. So examples of both types of caster in the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you certain it's 210 euro? While I previous said that 200 euro is the max it should cost, you do get a lot more than expected. Thus if it is 210 euro. It's a good price. All the mini's are amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoC will likely still get Spearhead rules considering that they are getting rules for the first year of 4.0, so it's likely only one more. side note, but did they show off the Warclans box with the new Spearhead design or no?

GloomkingWortwazi Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 So not an issue for all of us, and not an issue for anyone who's got some D6 games kicking around but maybe for absolute newbies... does it not have dice in it? Is that a GW thing now to not have a handful of dice in the launch/starter boxes for total newbies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe anything BoC, Bonesplitterz, and SCE would get would be free downloads on the community page and not part of any official release.

SilentSentinel Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Damn that's an amazing box, both sides look great and I'm glad the terrain and game mat didn't really seem to diminish the amount of models in the box. Even if I don't use the terrain or mat for AoS I could possibly find uses for them in other games like Conquest. That being said I think part of me still wishes they kept the terrain and game mat to the separate starter sets to potentially keep the price of the launch box down because $450 aud is brutal. Thankfully the usual store I get Warhammer stuff from has a 21% discount so that'll knock a decent chunk off the price off at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
