Ends up with a hecking 8k point army of cow elves. Btw, I do think the cavalry and the others are cool, I just think the cow elves are also cool, not a lack of skill in the designers (very confused).

FlatTooth Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 3 hours ago, Reuben Parker said: But why start a flame war? I like the models and the theme but equally I can understand why others don’t. I’m not starting a flame war. I’m drawing attention to the fact that a lot of the detractors are speaking from an unwarranted point of authority. A lot of them aren’t saying “I don’t love these” or “I don’t like these”. They’re calling into question the competence of the designers and sculptors. It’s a bit unfair to accuse me of being the first to bring hyperbole into the mix. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damosane Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) I'v been looking into water spirits and stuff, and judging by the greek influence I have a worrying theory that the river spirit is going to be some crazy seahorse Edited April 3, 2020 by Damosane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I completely agree, Idoneth really don't leave too many possibilities for a river spirit it seems, maybe it will just be a cool water elemental type thing, I'd be very surprised if the wind spirit didn't end up some sort of eagle like thing whenever it gets released Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As they have included strains from classic Greek to East Asia into the Lumineth so far. Athrawes mentioned a Gonggong-like spirit. That would fit really well with what they have done so far. Certain Naga would look similar and could be an alternative. In Japan you have Kappa, or they could go back to a more Greek inspired Nymph-like being. From what we have seen so far, I don’t think they’ll go with a Water Elemental. Totally agree with the Eagle. If we don’t see some predator bird inspired spirit for the wind faction I’d be really surprised. Although if they draw on Asian traditions for the wind spirit too, we could be in for a surprise again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love elves and i want an elven army, but i cant help but not like most of the hats. I will have to convert and change a lot of things to my taste, so the preview tomorrow will give me an idea if the task will be doable or not.

That is most of the fun for me tbh, I already think those bull emblems modified on the shoulders with fur on the cape is gonna look amazing, basically AOS white lions, the big cows are gonna be tricky but i'm pretty convinced painting them like magical stone will solve the giant beastman vibe anyhow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teclis head swaped for a Idoneth aspect, no bull on top of hammer bros and i wanna check if i can get a Treelord head into the big Cow "fused" with the mountain. That said: If the remaining models have a cooler visual identity and spare helmets or so, something cool can come out of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the same type of composition as the StD Start Collecting that just came out, and the spearmen do look a bit more static than a multipart kit might be. Just seems interesting that this is the first wave of Lumineth they chose to show and it happens to fit a reasonable box archetype. On the flip side, there is almost zero chance that that Eltharion model is push fit! Called it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The initial reveal just looked a bit too perfect as a box set not to be intended. I'm a little worried about that special edition cover doubling down on Mountain though, I really want at least one other element to choose from.

LuminethMage Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) Perfect box for me. I wanted to buy the dice and special edition anyway. They might also have done something interesting with the Lightning Reactions. Good take on ASF without being too obnoxious in AoS for your opponent (hopefully). Obvious drawback is of course, it looks like that we have seen the majority of the things we get, and the mountain factions is the center piece at least for the first release.

chosen_of_khaine Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 From the video of the cards, it looks like "Zaitrec" is another Elementari temple, probably Zenith given the spell is "Overwhelming Heat", like Alarith is for the Mountain temple. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmac Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 So with some strategic pausing, one of the cards shown is a spell from the "Lore of Zaitrec" called "Overwhelming Heat" Interesting, in the sense that 1. Does that mean Eltharion is a Wizard? and 2. Probably nota Mountain Element spell, since the fluff is suffocatingly hot air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They definitely implied he had some magic in previous reveals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As cool as Eltharion is, I doubt he has an entire magic lore named after him. The description of the box set calls out spell cards also. That said, he was a mage in WFB so it would not be surprising if he's still a wizard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
