shinros Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I don't think Sigvald is the newborn. Considering the mirror plotline and the fact the newborn has wings, I think it's an entirely new character. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the weird thing, the book doesn't give an indication that it is slaanesh. It looks like a separate or new entity. At least that's what I read it as. Hence some people were confused when GW released the community article. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clan's Cynic Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share Posted November 20, 2020 I don't think it's Sigvald, but either a new generic Hero or even Unit who're an evolution/inspiration for their aesthetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is the Lord of pain is our melee foot lord. His description clearly states that such lords spawn from slaanesh's more martial followers according to shadow and pain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EccentricCircle Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 One thing the book has gotten me pondering about is what exactly Varanite is. Clearly the idea that it is the blood of Khaine is just Morathi's propaganda. However, the exact way it fits into the pattern of the other Realmstones seems a little ill defined. Warpstone is already a mutative element, formed of congealed Dhar (Dark Magic), and containing the power of the realm of chaos. Varanite seems to just be warpstone plus, but it's also said to be corrupted by blood magic, rather than in its natural state perhaps? In theory, one could suppose that the realmstone of the allpoints should be the mineral form of Qhaysh, or High Magic. That would fit with the other nine realmstones, eight of which embody one of the winds, and the ninth being of the Realm of Chaos. However the description of its powers and properties seems to very much contradict that hypothesis. Surely the chaos control of the allpoints could have had that much of an effect on a font of high magic? Plenty to speculate upon anyway! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elves don’t really care about or acknowledge dwarfs and would rather attend to the serious business of scheming against and killing each other and they've not even managed to succeed at that have they... in fact they keep doing the opposite and just manage to spawn more of them... Oh look... another elf faction don'tcha know... ooohh lahh de dahh.. See.. Elfs for you... Nothing but Trouble. .. Of course we're energetic and creative, we're very sociable people dontcha know.

'Morathi says she wants spousal support payments for both her bodies; off to the Realm of Shadow on whatever you guys call a dragon in this weird setting to decapitate her twice' 'You didn't mention you guys had an Everchosen problem, stopped off and one shotted him with a spear on the way home' 'I don't know what orruks were, but I really enjoyed fighting them. Starting to regret doing a full genocide' I think the coolest way to do something with Aenarion's ghost would be if Tyrion, who post resurrection and cleansing of the Curse of Khaine is kind of a boring, flavorless dweeb who could do with some inner conflict, became possessed by it, spent most of his time trying to suppress murder grandpa with some serious Lumineth meditative techniques, only to take a back seat and let Aenarion go full Isle of the Dead when his back's really up against it. he'd have to face KattyCross the undefeated at some point though and have to fight him with his gaze averted lest he see his mighty codpiece... then again he could cover it with Teclis' ego containment shroud, or hat as the mortals call it. 🤫 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant bow in the sense of its other definition: to bend the head, body, or knee in reverence, submission, or shame. The only missile weapons I can typically get behind are demon forged canons or magical flame... Maybe Slaanesh will add some nice elegant bows changing my mind, but until then I am a firm believer in close spike filled combat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have the tassles connection all wrong, I assume the Aelves learned the fun of tassles while having their souls slowly digested. As Slaanesh would clearly be the God of Tassels, Whips and Leather. 😉 But either way, the Chaos gods are welcoming and always looking for fashion tips. So maybe if your precious Lumineth return to Slaanesh together you can teach the rest of us how to add cows to our already horned helmets (although our Beastmen allies might take offense to the blatant appropriation of their image).

Morathi, teclis etc exalted - “ but mummy... why can’t i turn into a daemon prince?” *sulky elf pout* ”... because you’re not chaos darling” so in a nutshell... elves is upset and sulky and be like “how come we ain’t chaos?” ** see... elves... nothing but trouble. **how I miss in realm of Chaos Lost and the damned, how you could randomly generate the race for your chaos lord- who could be an elf who’d got over himself. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Half naked bloodthirsty loons - chaos, albeit with more body odour" I didn't know that even other Duardin could notice the smell. I agree, it's horrible. And concerning the rest, for all your bluster, it's Duardin that have fallen to Chaos, and prostitute themselves to Chaos for money, aelves haven't and don't. We also don't call them "colleagues" and would even protect such misguided creatures like yourself from Chaos. Someone is mightily trying to project their own failures onto others. Neither is it surprising the finer intricacies of a refined culture like that of the aelves are far beyond your understanding, so everything looks the same to you. As you can't make a moral distinction between good and bad, it's no wonder that you are incapable of doing an aesthetic one either. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hold on a minute, saying chaos smells is one thing, but besmirching the fairer race is quite another. How can Duardin smell indeed, and especially from the height your nostrils sit at. Its all about fashion with you lot - big skirts, big trousers, big hats and you even use your knitting needles as weapons they're so large. The bottom line is that you pointy ears are chaos tainted the lot of you. You couldn't even take a chaos god on in a fight, you had to get the child of the bunch and wait till he fell asleep after the biggest turkey dinner in history to tie him up and them you used his lunch to recreate yourselves., and your wet elves can't even see where they're going. Now on an aside quite why they haven't got a massive giant war squid with armoured and spiked tentacles is beyond me but hey, you probably couldn't knit it a nice jumper or something. See.. Elves, nothing Without Chaos and Nothing but trouble. Anyway.. talking of fashion, when do we think we're going to see Sigvald appearing in the lore?

LuminethMage Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I think already in the next book is likely. It doesn't look like Sigmar is the Newborn, but maybe the leader who organizes his followers. Of course the next book could be something totally different. Then, whenever they shift the focus back to Slaanesh and the Newborn. I think though this will be pretty soon. I'd be interested in what people who are mainly playing a Duardin faction think how they (for example KO) could become involved in the Broken Realms story line, and what they'd like to get most.

Sigmar as newborn? Plot twist it hard to see any dwarf army getting the title card in BR at the moment without any major develop characters in either army. I think since they have traditionally been in conflict against Orc, goblins, and Skaven in the past, the BR books with those army will have the dwarf armies in them Ironjawz attacking a free city, Fyreslayer mercenaries are hire to fight them Gloomspite or Skaven causing trouble and attack a KO sky port 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
