Vaellas Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Definitely feels Cities to me and with their increased presence in Dawnbringers and us having a very zealous side of Cities following Zenestra it feels like it could be representative of a flagellant.

I've checked every other faction that has torches and they are all different. It's the base of the brazier that is exactly the same as the fusiliers one right down to the diamond shaped bolt. The memorians ones are much more ornate. It's definitely cities, the only question is whether it's just a hero or something more. Personally hoping for new flagellants or a mini cog fort. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucentia Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Cities seems like a perfectly reasonable guess, though it does also look like the sort of thing which might pop up on a 40k mini from time to time too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially now that Whitefang Jr teased one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draznak Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 I want to believe very strongly in COS with this RE but it seems too obvious... and therefore a trap. Then there are so many factions that could wear this in AoS / 40k... We know, for example, that 40k codex Imperial Agents is coming this summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarakUrbaz Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 (edited) Quote Many Stormhosts will fight either as a Thunderhead Host or a Lightning Echelon, but when the Ruination chambers are pressed into battle they often march as Sentinels of the Bleak Citadel. We know that the Sentinels of the Bleak Citadel are the Ruination Chamber subfaction, but for reference Lightning Echeleon is an Extremis Chamber themed battalion while Thunderhead Brotherhood is a Warrior Chamber themed battallion. Just to clarify because I'm pretty sure a lot of people have forgotten the names of the Stormcast Battalions seeing as warscroll battalions have become irrelevant. I presume the 4th out of the four Faction Pack subfactions is going to be Vanguard Chamber themed. Edited May 21 by BarakUrbaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality of this paint isn't as good as Eavy Metal and the choice of colours is also more ‘amateur’ (without criticising the quality of these minis). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's kind of cool, I'd love if Deathmarch made its return in the Soulblight Gravelords index. That's what I originially ran when I started in 2nd edition.

OkayestDM Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 I really like what they've shown off for Stormcast. Like in 3rd Ed, they have a low number of high quality attacks, but I haven't seen much by way of MW output in the revealed warscrolls - which is good. They're now also baseline 3+ save, which is very gratifying. With "Finest Hour" and "Bless Weapons" as limited but practical avenues to increase their their crankiness and offensive punch, SCE if finally starting to look like they'll play the way I always hoped they would. On a side note, they kinda did Sacrosanct dirty by just ignoring them entirely. I mean, I get it, they were pulled from the range for a reason and will only have limited support going forward, but still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conveniently the current Soulblight Gravelords books has four battalions in it, so assuming thats the case you may be in luck. (Red Banqueters/Vampire battalion, Fellwing Flock/Bat and Vargheist battalion, Deathstench Drove/zombie battalion, and Deathmarch/skeleton battalion) EDIT: I just remembered the Skaven army we saw the rules of is the Warpcog Convocation which is the name of one of the Clan Skryre Battalions so yeah, looks like thats what the subfactions are going to be now. As a Kharadron player now I'm just kind of curious because as far as battalions go we only have the Iron Sky Attack (general Arkanauts + Frigate battalion), Grundstok Escort Wing (Grundstok Battalion), and Iron Sky Command (dumping ground for Heroes battalion). I bet they'll have to invent a new formation based around the Balloon Boys or something. Edited May 21 by BarakUrbaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chikout Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Wow! Yndrasta is an absolute beat stick now. I think this might be the biggest glow up for a warscroll I've ever seen. Three more attacks, better rend and double damage against monsters with her spear and she can charge 3d6. The only downside is that her ward is worse and she doesn't ressurect any more but she's going to do work in combat. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That definitely makes her a huge threat against any kind of MONSTER. I occasionally ran the Ven Densts in my lists, and people were already respecting their rend 2 damage 4 shots on their WIZARD HERO MONSTERs. A big rend 3 damage 8 (!) shot will definitely make people pay attention. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
