Tiberius501 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 I think he’s referring to some of the original descriptions of the Aelves who come from Hysh. They were described as winged angel beings of knowledge and justice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michu Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Well, we have luminous creatures - every Lumineth is luminous. Maybe we won't get winged aelves but just winged creatures (like Teclis' companion). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acid_Nine Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Wasn't there something in the slaanesh tome about angel winged elves? Just something I thought I would bring up since I was bored in my Roman Lit Class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remus Prime Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I’m the end of Callis and Toll: The Silver Shard it vaguely mentions some winged angelic figures, and that made me instantly think of Tyrion’s elves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koradrel of Chrace Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I have to agree with @CommissarRotke, just because something is discribed as angelic doesn't automatically mean they have wings. The actual line says "angelic creatures of reason." That actually has a really broad potential of interpretations, and I think what we seen of the Lumineth so far could definitely fit that description. I do hope we get a robust miniature range. My wallet won't like it, but my paint brushes will! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuminethMage Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 From they way they've promoted the Lumineth so far, I don't think we'll see winged aelves. The whole introduction was a long the lines - this is for people who want to see updated High Elves, not pirate elves, or half-monster elves like the snake girls and tree guys. I also think, the whole "angel" theme is already occupied by the Stormcast. In addition, as many mentioned "angelic creature" doesn't have to mean "winged creature". That said, it's likely one of the most, if not the most common association. If there are several mentions of angelic creatures in Hysh throughout several products, there might be one winged aelf unit coming. As michu said above it could be that angelic creatures was pointing to the Hysh spirits, but that paragraph in the DOK BT talks about elf souls and from what GW has released so far, it doesn't sound like the Hysh spirits were created from elf souls. I guess, we have to wait and see 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koradrel of Chrace Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 "We have to wait and see" is pretty much the subtitle of this thread. Read the next line in Morgan Freeman's voice for maximum effect: Pointy Aelves. For when you just want to wait and see. (For a real giggle, read it again in Christopher Walken's voice!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrimDork Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) Could this be referring to the spirits of Hysh? It says “winged creatures”. Sounds just like Celannar (or his mates) to me. Thanks for the reference! Edited March 6, 2020 by GrimDork 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuminethMage Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) @GrimDork Yes, it's likely that it refers to that. They are called holy "eidolons" which are spirits in the ancient Greek contexts, which fits well with the Spirit of Hysh. Doesn't mean there couldn't be winged aelves also, but this one would point more to winged spirits (which make sense as we have "wind" spirits among those for example), than to winged aelves. Edit: I doubt that will happen, but eidolon seem to be mostly human-like (aelves in this context) spirits, imagine there would be something like Eltharion in his new form, but with added wings.... . I think more likely are spirits similar to Celennar though. Edited March 6, 2020 by LuminethMage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koradrel of Chrace Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Interesting. I have to agree that it sounds like the spirits of Hysh, rather than actual aelves. Also, they're referred to as "eidolons," which so far in AOS has been a being that is a gestalt of either beings or concepts. Much as I like the concept, I think that may be something for potential later releases. In the mean time, I have bought a thing! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommissarRotke Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 CMW: Seraphon didn't get new models so Lumineth would sell well on release 🤣 all of these new rules and their new SC look mighty good for Order fans, I'm hoping this upcoming Monday gives LRL something just as juicy.

Koradrel of Chrace Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Ivory and gold I think, with a granite color for the rock face. The runes I'll try and do in a glowing purple. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would be cheaper to produce, though not so detailed, and fit the bill for summoning Elementals rather than have them as a troop type. Just my thoughts. I not only like this idea but also feel its super flavorful and would be fun to play against in the fact that you could dispel the summons and therefor not be over powered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's the flavour I hope they get right. It could also interact with the subfactions if they are also based around Elements, with bonuses to cast or a more powerful version, for example, for the Elemental that fits your army, and negatives for the one that is opposite. Time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koradrel of Chrace Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 That would be the coolest set of endless spells! Would the spirits be predatory, or would the summoner keep control do you think? And adding on to that, would it function like a normal unit, or would it be able to be dispelled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
