Beastmaster Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) Different sorts of giants could be tied to the different realms: Fire giants from Aqshy, Metal golems from Chamon, Cloud giants from Azyr etc. Either as a nomadic giant Realmswalker army, drawn from all corners of the world, or as an ally option for all armies to represent/support the home realm of each army.

EccentricCircle Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Yeah, to do a full giant army I think it would need more diversity. The current giant model is awesome, and the variety of detail you can put into it is great, but all the options are different types of half naked barbarian giant, in various states of eating people or cattle. I feel like an army of "Civilised giants" with their own arms and armour, canons, etc would be a much more interesting hobby project.

Rogue Explorator Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I feel this is relevant news that some who only follow AoS might miss, GW-Community has put out an article aknowledging that the Sisters Battle Box sold out faster than is good and saying they are working on ways to avoid this sort of situation in the future. I think it's the first time Community actually explicitly aknowledges the developement of the new factory and distribution hub, though that was known via other channels: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/11/18/sisters-of-battle-situation-report/ I feel this sort of article is a very good sign for the hobby in general. A lot of stuff GW has always been completely silent about mentioned in there. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charleston Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I like the Idea of an Knight-Counterpart in AoS, althrough several factions can play a similar setup as already mentioned. Giants, Elementals or huge Angels would be amazing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet there would be more than one amazing way to do this, althrough it would be only "small" godbeasts as thoose in the lore are of the size of continents But Lorewise descendends of the Godbeasts would be an amazing thing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. The should also help chip away at the hostility some people feel toward GW because those people think GW is somehow trying to squeeze the customer or use various forms of market manipulation that paint them as bad actors. It really does seem like several of the supply issues have been due to high rates of success and low ability to keep up. For instance, this could be why the new models in the various dual sets have been slow to release on their own - not something sinister, just a hard time working them in to the production schedule due to limited facility availability. Just sayin'. Maybe GW is not as evil as some people think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do need more giants with laser eyes in AoS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt it. I've recently read T9A forum topic about WH:Old World and people there consider GW worse than skaven and think that nothing good will come out of this....

Sleboda Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) @michu Yeah, but that crowd is a lost cause. Failed to adapt with the times, stuck in an era when GW actually was more predatory, etc. Best not to let their detached-from-reality bitterness infect the real world. 😉 Edited November 18, 2019 by Sleboda 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aelfric Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Well, I have a Troggoth army and that all comes from 3 kits plus a Hag, with enough diversity in the kits to give a fair bit of variation. A standard Troggoth is a giant compared to a human, so there's no reason why new Gargants couldn't follow the same size and type range with only 4 new kits ( though, naturally, I'd want more).

Icegoat Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I reckon it's a set of even BIGGER endless spells. That all cost too many points for their worth and are forgotten about by the time the pre order ships. But its obviously actually a giant army. And tyrion of course with his guide horse.

Seriously, I'm noticing a distinct lack of dragons coming from GW of late.
