Nope, it's real and they are doing a showcase battle using wrestlers and Spearhead. Don't worry I don't know who they are either as last time I watched wrestling was in the 80s! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are almost certainly stormvermin! With an adjustment to their helmets, too; those should look nice irl if that's how the toys play out Skaven def deserve new Rat Ogres; excited for y'all!

Neverchosen Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 14 hours ago, Vomikron said: Definitely agree here. 40k’s main problem seems to be trying to have a narrative. You can’t possibly involve all factions all the time in another event that has the potential to destroy the universe but then doesn’t. 40k was far more interesting as a static setting full of backwards psychos all killing each other for a reason none of them can remember. The Hatfields and McCoys writ large. Now it’s a jumble of desperate attempts at making memorable characters even though, spoiler alert, every single character is essentially interchangeable and just throw in another Primarch for some inexplicable reason. but hey, I still love it. The thing is that it is easy to juggle both, have a focused and involved narrative focused on a specific sector. Then leave the rest of the galaxy open. Unfortunately that is not really how they want to tell the story and the notion of heightening tensions when everything is always at a galactic scale makes the whole setting feel constricting. Like I had thought of making a Fallen Angels chaos army but it feels like that will now have to involve following the ongoing narrative of the Lion and Cypher and I don't care that much... I just wanted to get the Horus Heresy box and use some of my S2D bits to make them Chaosy. In Warhammer Fantasy Battles I always imagined my armies being from an unmarked location on the map and in AoS I imagine my narrative taking place just outside the map. If Archaon slew Sigmar at the cost of the Varanspire falling to Nagash my armies likely wouldn't fully comprehend what was being relayed to them... other than thinking the devil slew their deity and death was coming for everyone.

Still need to finish it, but it was a lot of fun and I'd love to see a Heretic-inspired AoS FPS to sit alongside the DOOM-inspired 40k one 9 minutes ago, Neverchosen said: The thing is that it is easy to juggle both, have a focused and involved narrative focused on a specific sector.

That aspect of 40k was something that I also struggled with: the galaxy is so big with stakes so high all the time everywhere that "normal farmworld with nothing particularly noteworthy happening" feels like the outlier, which is weird to me. I'd love if 40k focused on, say, eight sectors in space (like the Mortal Realms) to focus a lot of their stories. Leaving the rest of the galaxy as a question mark canvas to play on while hyperfocusing your narrative on Macragge, Terra, the Eye, etc means everyone can have a few planets to fanfiction on. I love how big AoS is: Sigmar could straight up die and you can decide how Your Dudes are impacted by it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude looks more Slaaneshi than ratty. 🤔 I wonder who thought that wrestlers who are only known to real wrestling fans will be a great marketing ploy though, ngl… if they got John Cena, then we‘d just see the full artwork but that‘s a name people would know. Not saying they won‘t be fun but it‘s a left-field choice. Maybe we can get fitness influencers next edition. A raging Greg Doucette would be funny!

I don’t think they want to do an AoS game. They seem disinterested in it. and Rumors from some TW peeps suggest it’s going to be 40K TW game next. They going to develop a new engine to make it work.

There's literally one map for every single mortal realm other than Azyr, you could easily just adapt them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DinoJon Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 I do hope for more games in the AoS setting. I think an adventure/3rd person action game similar to Space Marine would work well for the world. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
