MitGas Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 34 minutes ago, Snorri Nelriksson said: Partial OT:female custodes were never implied to be impossible save for a line about "taken fron nobility of terra Sons". Custodes creation is not extremely detailed as SM so there was room for details and innovation. But in the HH Sanguinius mention women and men clad in gold as bodyguard of his father(people thought about sisters of silence but they're not his bodyguard,they're the astra telephatica chamber militant). It's different from introducing female sm (that need the geneseed of their primarch)...maybe the lazyness of the introduction about them is "bad" (but they did the same with primaris to some extent)but they were never mentioned as "impossible to have". Ok, thanks for shedding some light on it. I don‘t know a lot about Custodes, only the blurbs from HH before they became their own force in 40k, I roll with Chaos after all. Anyways, if they aren‘t as set in stone as marines then this feels much less like a betrayal in regards to the established lore, which is good.

We really don't need that here. Whilst I agree, I also think we could have the discussion and not get crazy. I'd wager a 77% success rate. It's ok to discuss things that have a bearing on this forums particular subject. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don‘t feel bad for it, I got promoted to Daemon Prince for sowing discord among the Sigmarites!

IrlLordy Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I think the general acceptance of female stormcast probably went some way to persuading GW that female Custodes would also be accepted. Would have been nice to see some model support alongside it, but stormcast heads can be swapped in with almost zero effort. Of course female stormcast were front and centre almost from the start, something GW probably should have done with Custodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutton Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I'll ask this again to get back to rumors, but what the heck does the green fill color mean for the Save value? Does it mean anything at all? Some people suggest it makes it "easier to read" but I disagree; it's not more legible than white on black. Why only the Save value? Why was no other stat colored? If you were to color a value green, the first instinct would be Health. Health is always green in games. From a purely visual aesthetic, it looks bad. None of the most common answers people have given make sense to me. Either there is some hidden meaning we're not aware of yet, or it was a pointless, incohesive whim of graphic design. This is like my white whale of AoS 4th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I can think is that the save stat may need to be accessed quickly in the other players turn, well mainly the shooting phase, as you will have your warscroll out in the combat phase anyway?

Jagged Red Lines Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 22 minutes ago, IrlLordy said: I think the general acceptance of female stormcast probably went some way to persuading GW that female Custodes would also be accepted. Not to disparage the entirety of the 40k fan base, but you've got to realise that a scenario where the heroic protagonists are strong, universally male and racially intolerant, has the potential to attract someone of a certain political persuasion... Those people tend to be quite reactionary toward inclusion as a concept, which they see as an attempt to curb their freedom. I think it's a difference in political demographics - the AoS community is generally much more mature, tolerant and friendly. 23 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagged Red Lines Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Back to rumours - what are the guesses for malign sorcery with 4th? Will the contents likely be broken up and repackaged into specific spell lores? Any new generic endless spells? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutton Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 6 minutes ago, Vasshpit said: @Mutton I believe it signals a change from 3rd scroll. How do you mean? If it's just an indicator of a 4th ed warscroll then why bother? 4th ed scrolls are significantly different in layout and color anyway. Why would a randomly filled in value with a random color be a marker for 4th edition? 3 minutes ago, GrimDork said: The only thing I can think is that the save stat may need to be accessed quickly in the other players turn, well mainly the shooting phase, as you will have your warscroll out in the combat phase anyway? But you also have to reference Health and OC in the enemy phases as well. What if you get spells cast on you? Health check. None of the other stats are colored. And like I mentioned, white text on green is much less readable than white on black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vasshpit Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 @Mutton If for example you mean the green on the new 4th edition weirdnob shaman armor save scroll then I think it's to show a change from 3rd where he had a 5+ ... may be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, that's an interesting theory I hadn't heard yet. Unfortunately it doesn't follow, because the Slaughterpriest has the same 5+ Save in 4th that he currently has in 3rd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way most people in both communities are pretty chill I've found, like if you walk into a gamestore irl, odds are you'll find some awesome people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ejecutor Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Done with the kits count (doesn't includes stuff going out from the Warcom post). It is surprising how many kits from WHFB we still have around.

I doubt we will get rid of all of them in this ed: anything that came out in the end times I've seen people say are very aos in their design, possibly designed with aos in mind. Which I can agree with, doubt we'll see any of that stuff replaced for the foreseeable future, if ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it doesn't follow, because the Slaughterpriest has the same 5+ Save in 4th that he currently has in 3rd. The green fill is just to attract the eye. Saves are something very often referenced or checked so an added background helps differentiate the stat from the rest of the profile. I’d be surprised if it meant anything beyond that. You’d expect the rest of the values to be colored if they had some sort of coding related to it. Edited April 20 by Fracas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragon-knight77 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 So i wondering what name character are we going to getting soon like we have a relative idea with SG warhound rumors with Nu-Queek & New Warlock Irkit please on the Stormcast all we got is Poster guy but that more on the speculation side whether or not he character or just a unique hero unit I think we might get a new Hallowed Knight character possibly their own Lord Commander? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
