It's a different story once you put them on the table and see them from a gaming distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khaedhras Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 That Vanari Lord Regent mini is plain awesome. And I think we all read this bit: Oh, and if you are a Lumineth fan, you don’t want to miss Saturday’s Warhammer Preview Online: The Dead and the Divine. We’re just getting started. Plus the teaser: "there's something in the wind" showing something alike a tornado in front of a wheat field. Apart from the generic hero, full wind temple (kangaroos + hero + spirit) this Saturday?

Sinarai Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 So, I'm super excited for this release in particular, for many reasons. I love the mounts, absolutely 100%, to me they look like a cross between a Tauntaun & a Parasaurolophus (Para being a favorite dinosaur, right up there with Stegosaurus). I love how they can run on two legs, but seem to be natural on four just the same. I also love the kitbash potential I see. On a more personal side, it's kind of a dream come true. When Lumineth first released, I wanted 2 things: cav archers and a Mountain Minotaur Monsterous infantry (Kroxigor or Bullgor equiv)so bad...I was a bit sad that neither happened. So, i for my own whatever kitbashed a cav archer from a sentinel and a dawnrider. So now, I am just so haooy that the cav archer is officially here, and now it may be time to finish the one i began months ago. Maybe one day there will be official Hyshiaj Minotaurs for Lumineth too? We'll see, if so, I have one already ready 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnaveOfScribes Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I'm expecting the Regent to be a dual kit, along the lines of the Ossiarch mounted hero - the shield might be a different design, but the tassels/reins and neck of the beastie are the same as the one shown in the preview vid. Either way, I am loving this model and already planning how to replace its face with a serene Celennar-like visage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chumphammer Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Ok...issue. The new hero for lumineth is the " Vanari Lord Regent" The artifacts for lrl atm are Cathallar and Alarith only.... So he cant use those artifacts.... So will he have his own ones printed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different shield iconography I think more in the lines of either a dual kit or maybe he comes as a leader of a heavy cavalry unit with the same mount. Besides the colour of mount, the mount looks very much the same to me at least. The colour of the saddle, cape, etc. and the shield symbol are all different, but that could be just an alternative paint job (like this is the Ymetrica version, the one they showed on the teaser is the Iliatha version for example). But if we get more, that would be awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiotrW Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I just saw the preview of the new LRL cavalry. I don't know why you people say these guys look like they are riding kangaroos? ... I mean, they are clearly riding llamas. *ducks* Jokes aside, I'm honestly deeply impressed by the LRL range. Great models. Some unexpected design choices (battle cattle spirits..?), but the line has some clear identity and it all fits. If I didn't have enough models to work on already... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuminethMage Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) ummm, hello there! Two handed cavalry. Yes please. Edit: Actually sadly it’s just the bow cavalry, lol. Oops sorry! Overexcited. Looked like a big katana to me. Edited January 19, 2021 by LuminethMage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troll.exe Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I’m definitely still to traumatised from my dawnriders to face another mounted unit just yet. Getting dinosaurs vibes more then roo, not too bad really. And the Lord Regent is obviously amazing 👌 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aelfric Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 If the Lord Regent makes Dawnriders battleline if he's the General, then an all cavalry army may be possible. There's a lot of new Lumineth models coming out - do you think we may be getting Broken Realms: Teclis announced on Saturday? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I'd like to see Broken Realms: Teclis announced, the search for the Aenarion soul would be a thrill for me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaskier Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Non-unique melee character? Check. Non-unique mounted melee character? Check check! The lack of one was my biggest complaint about the initial wave (especially with how many command traits and artefacts were clearly designed for combat heroes) and they've solved it less than a year later. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius au Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I like the Vanari stuff, the mounts for the cav archers are unusual. Don't like them or hate them, they are just odd. I think I would have preferred it if they were birds (like prehistoric terror birds). Oddly the tree leaper name made me think of tree kangaroos (yes those are a thing in Oz and also Papua New Guinea). It looks like you would be able to build a reasonable army from the Vanari and Cathaller line without using some of the more controversial elements which is good.

Same. If it weren't for the Soulblight tease, I'd have 100% locked in my next army. As it is, I'm waiting for more info to choose between the two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you prefer the vanari and cathallar parts of the LRL it is already quite viable to build pure vanari armies, and such builds will probably become even more competitive when the Lord Regent is released.

Aelfric Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 These new archers are called Hurakan (pronounced Hurricane?) Windchargers. So not Vanari, which presumably means they are definitely part of the Wind Temple, known as Hurakan. The new mounted Lord is Vanari, but can, it appears from the blurb, lead all Lumineth cavalry into battle whether Vanari or not. I'm looking forward to seeing the rules for these units and those not yet disclosed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking forward to seeing the rules for these units and those not yet disclosed. Hurakan was a mayan wind god. I think it would be weird to name the whole temple after an existing god. But its position in the unit name suggest that there is a group named like this... Its weird. I would prefer them to be named after the Wind Rune Orealith, to fit in with the Alarith (named after the Mountain Rune) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icarion Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 So unless the wind temple follows a different naming convention, it seems like that "Hurakan" as in Hurakan Windchargers, is the wind temple equivalent of "Alarith" That would mean Hurakan Windchargers, Hurakan Windmage, and Hurakan Spirit of the Wind are our temple units, with Hurakan being the keyword. For a while I've wondered what the other temple names would be, as going from the book, name of the elemental runes, the mountain rune "Alaithi" is at least in the same general area as Alarith, but the rune Oreali, is quite distinct from Hurakan. This means the other temples could conceivably be called anything which I find interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius501 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I’m really eager to see the wind spirit. The description in the book makes me quite excited to see quite an exotic beasty. I’ve been away from Sigmar for a little while now, but GW always has a way of reigning me back in lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the same kind of special armor, animal-crowned helm, and animal banner as the Alarith have. And they fit with the description in the Battletome. @Gecktron I'd also much prefer Orealith over Hurakan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
