My gf remarked on my vocabulary but i didn't want to admit I only knew the word from a toy. I know a lot of the more esoteric words in my vocabulary through wargaming (esoteric may well be one of them). 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The salt levels are going break records if the first released death model is stormcast If it’s a Skullcast Model, but in the Order Grand Alliance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sete Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 A falling star can have so many meanings. But every omen they showed, represents the same thing. Death. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsharitt Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 If they do got the Death Stormcast route, I'm also hoping they do something to make them uniquely death and not the CSM route which are basically Space Marines with horns. I can't remember, but in the lore when Stormcast dies, does their whole body, armor and all get taken back to heaven to be reforged, or just the soul? I guess if it's the whole thing, we're more like to get Stormcasts, but with more bones. We'll see. Maybe its all a big misdirection and we're getting new Nighthaunt models instead. It could happen. Right? Please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like they can leave some equipment behind, say they drop a sword and fight on with just their hammer, the sword doesnt go with them. But whatever they have on them when they die goes back with them. Thats what i've gathered from the books anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone mentioned Dark Souls and the idea of Stormcast as the black knights really stuck. These aren't going to be only exalting in death and killing. Not from the lore build up. There are those clues which indicate the removal of their personality brings them more towards automatons who reflect the characteristics of their chamber - so not just machine like skeletons but beings who need absolute order (just want everything ORDERED and order means killing all the messy, disordered, chaotic living beings), beings who become pure vengeance, almost beastlike beings. It's a bit like Chaos space marines as a concept but it's much more exciting because - as far as I understand it - these will be the stormcast from all stormhosts (not a fallen few) that have died enough. Perhaps. And how will they look? If they're larger than human stormcast resurrected, then why stormcast? You could resurrect ogors or orruks (I hope we get blended race skeletons tbh). I have to assume their mechanic of being reborn will remain but with a nagash twist. What would that mean? Sloughing flesh and bones? Spirits? Or a reimagining of death for AoS? Tl:dr - we're looking at gothic stormcast possibly but that may not at all be a bad thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Think it's in the bit about the ironjawz clan that paints their armour gold to be like them). Co up e be in the ironjawz painting guide now that I think about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
