Baron Klatz Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 The Hollow Armor and Celennar are pure wins here. Teclis and the rest do a decent job of showing off the realm of Hysh aesthetic but are pretty bland otherwise, horse legs look stiff and the hoplites kinda repeat the model. However that's perfectly fine because they're the basic troops. Can't wait to see what fantastical wonders we see from the realm of light after this and more is revealed. It will be very...enLightening. (Also yes to Greywater conversions, very awesome) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just thinking "man, if my Tempest's Eye city is up so high it borders a skyport, horses are a bit problematic." As well as "If I want a 2 drop TE army with a Hurricanum, I need 5 more horses to round out the 45". I was eyeing Skitarii for a while, but I guess it's time to wander into them.

King Under the Mountain Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 On the LVO Facebook post someone asked if all the Seraphon were getting was a new tome and scenery and the AoS page responded "That's all we've seen so far". So possibility that there is more to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion I think Seraphon players should lower their expectations, that way if there is new models you will get a nice surprise. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragobeth Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Usually when there's more to come Gw says that but there nothing about it in the LVO Serahon part so...I'll not hope for new kits now (I was hoping for multipart chaos kits for StD and here I am, still waiting) It's a litle let down, being the last facction to get and upgrade and only recieve tome+terrain, not even a plastic slann, but oh well, I guess it's better than being squated, right? The elves are cool, that armour is (for me at least) cooler than the teclis model itself (teclis nun made me chuckle), if those troops can get swords I may be pickin them up. If they mentioned "sons of behemat" in the DF trailer...we can count it out of aos as a faction I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was mentioned in a joking way, like it couldn't be a new faction, not in a manner as though it was related to Blackstone Fortress. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endless spells not looking likely either unless they're called something else like the Khorne and fyreslayers ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackStreicher Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 My 2 ct the lumineth: I really like them, I am just not sold on teclis, his Artwork looks a million times better imo. and I‘d change their colorscheme (esp. the white armor is weird imo) apart from that 👍🏻 I am looking forward to the full reveal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azamar Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 The trees on Teclis’s base solve a rumour engine I think. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kronos Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Wow, wouldn’t have called much of these. The Nurgle warband is stunning, all three of them. A great HH character model. Hysh elves turned out mor High Elf than I anticipated (strange right) and just can’t but any model that nice and clean. But damn those Phalanxes and the Hollow knight are simply beautiful sculpts. The Skitarri would work so much better in AoS as an Ironweld Arsenal/cogfort, just doesn’t speak Mechanicus to me. If anything it reminds me of Futurama when they discover Da Vinci was a Genius on Earth, but on his own planet he was as thick as they come. Now Teclis, Ticks soo many boxes for me. God Model, Check. Beast, check. Dynamic pose, check. Unnecessary terrain base which gives so much flavour, check. Old world links, check. MTG -ish inspired High Fantasy, (especially the Mount) check. However it is very difficult to see Teclis under all that Raiden. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPjr Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Well... quite a lot to digest. I’m very happy about the Aelves, they look good & should make people happy but they aren’t the totally wild kind of Old Testament style hundred winged, burning wheels with eyes insane geometric angels or Euclidean light constructs I’d wanted so right now looks like I can admire from afar and not hurt my wallet further. Eltharion model is really cool though so might grab that (cue it being in a battle box), what I can’t wait to see with that is how people paint it. The studio job is cool but you could really go to town on the idea the inside of that armour is full of burning light. Object source lighting for days... The Teclis model bit on the fence about, the big creature is great but not totally sold on his pose. I think doing him with one leg bent like in the illustration would have made him look more dynamic, still it’s certainly an eye catching piece so can’t wait to see it in the flesh and the conversions it inspires. Seraphon, shame for them just some terrain though it’s a cool model I’ll pick up for Warcry games. I reckon they’ll get something else just maybe not right away. Hopefully the book has some interesting ideas in it, love the art on the cover though. Nurgle Warband looks great, definitely picking that up. As for the rest the Ad Mech stuff is just beautiful, really been trying to keep my 40k purchases to just Kill Team stuff but might have to go in on that. Again can’t wait to see what people do with these as AoS conversions, I mean with almost hardly any work (probably not enough for some people) there’s your new Cities of Sigmar units. New Ghazkgull was expected and hopefully will be awesome. But holy ****** A ZOAT. After all the “is it an exodite model” or “is it a Seraphon” with that rumour engine and IT WAS A ZOAT. I’m sorry for people hoping for either but not really because, and I cannot stress this enough, IT’S A ZOAT. What a time to be alive! 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbossal Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 What a whirlwind few days, from seeing the leaked Seraphon cards, to hearing the rumours of a dual Seraphon/Giant box, to finally the LVO reveal. I know there's a lot of scrutiny towards negativity, but take this at face value: this is pretty brutal for Seraphon. This is the range that has been waiting the longest for support, as it's the range with the oldest models, last to get a rules supplement, and has essential units still in resin. Getting the Battletome and Terrain is below even my baseline expectations of the Hero-in-a-double-box concept. Curious what the decision making is there since Seraphon have a pretty dedicated userbase. Lack of interest from GW? Sales numbers? The worst part is being the last tome out of the gate usually implies that you'll be near the last tome for 3.0 too, so it's going to be about a decade between new model updates. Anyone got a silver lining for me that I'm not seeing? I'm a sad dino atm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still-young Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 disappointed by no new Seraphon models. The Aelves look good, but the Skitarii cav are the big winners for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says they’ll be in one of the forthcoming Psychic Awakening books, like I assume when they start rolling out books like Wrath of The Everchosen they’ll use those to launch more models (though obviously being AoS you just dl the warscroll off the site, why they haven’t done this for 40k baffles me, next edition I guess).
