Dragon-knight77 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 1 hour ago, ScionOfOssia said: What could Death even have? Soulblight cannibalized Halloween Skeletons, Werecritters, and Vampirates are too similar a concept to not just end up under Gravelords. Maybe mummies? Mummies are in the banned category liek others have put it due to the fact that Tomb kings are in TOW But there still Frankenstein monster & flesh golem-esq monsters Deathless (A sort f@#$-up immortal who can't die despite wanting to) Possessed object type like living armor or Gargoyles 1 hour ago, Hollow said: Have Soulblight Gravelords incorporate "Vampire Coast" as a sub faction.

Mon - Friday Order>Chaos>Death>Destruction>Order until we run out of Death and Destruction factions and have to add more Chaos/Order factions?... I really hope Death and Destruction get some more factions. I can imagine Kruel Boyz and Ironjawz getting individual tomes if that counts? I still think a large non anthropomorphic beast army would be cool. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScionOfOssia Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 43 minutes ago, Twisted Firaun said: Alright, since we’re talking about this I’ll throw in my line: bring the tomb kings back to AOS. Seriously, just create a Ancient-Egyptian/Middle Eastern themed faction that focuses on warmachines and fast attack, create an oc Mortarch (I’m thinking “Mortarch of Eternity”) and have them be all about slowly expanding Shyish’s influence throughout the realms(desertification). Vampirates brought back as treasure seekers/collectors of arcane lore/death god hunters. Naturally lead by a Mortarch of the Abyss (a picture of Harkon and count noctilus), with a focus on guns and sea monsters. New Soulblight Mortarch to replace Arkhan when he inevitably becomes a OBR only mortarch. Arkhan already IS an OBR only Mortarch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luperci Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 3 hours ago, Hollow said: I would love to see "Mortal Faction" Battalion Boxes (similar to the DarkOath) for Death and Destruction. Death - Mortals who worship Nagash and form cults around the nature of Death. Destruction - Genghis Khan style mounted Mortal tribes that trade and deal with green skins. So many cool ideas. Ogors already have the mongolian aesthetic really, it'd be cool to instead see a different Asian mythological inspiration, there are loads of cool creatures and aesthetic styles we don't see represented as much. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

novakai Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Hobgoblins were the Mongolian theme army, they had a character called Oglah Khan. of course in Sigmar, the Hobgrots are taking in the Chaos dwarf Assyrian aesthetic a bit more and it looks like the Gitmob are going to be somewhat more Mongolian theme going forward.

Goatforce Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 3 hours ago, DinoJon said: my long standing theory is that eventually each of the death factions would get 2 Mortarchs. However, now that Ushoran is out.. I don't think FEC needs another Mortarch. So maybe we'll see 3 new factions for Death eventually? Silent-People Frankensteinian Monsters Mortals of Nagash for destruction with no real basis in lore Elementals - Like the incarnates in design but a faction. Deep Lords (?) - the aquatic threat Idoneth are dealing with. Goblin Sky Pirates If Destruction gets an army of Lovecraftian abominations from the deep it will be my first Destruction army! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why people keep saying Ogres are Mongolians because they don't really have anything to do with them. I've been into Warhammer for about 20 years and today is the first time I've ever heard the og ogre design is supposed to be Cossacks. people will make assumptions based on other information they have, even if what's circulating is incorrect. there's overlap in that pastiche space, and tbh the hunger part of ogres I think gets linked to the "ravenous hordes" stereotype that the Mongols get painted with because of the rest of pop culture. i do know who/what the Cossacks were and now that you've said this, I can see exactly what the intent was--but it still relies on Othering a steppe culture, and those tend to get lumped together in general. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollow Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 I think it would be cool to have a Destruction sub-faction that is entirely mounted, with huge swathes of mounted warriors pouring over the Ghur landscape, shifting and swarming like schools of fish. They don't use infantry and you could take thematic design influences from various mounted warrior cultures worldwide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollow Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Yeah.... I'm talking about humans that worship Gork/Mork. A new human/mortal concept for the Destruction grand alliance that I think would make sense thematically, would be an interesting space for miniature design and create diversity in faction offerings for different Grand Alliances. Of course there are some factions with some thematic similarities already within Destruction. That's kind of the point, it would fit with the Grand Alliance and could be allied with any of the existing Destruction factions and wouldn't look out of place.
