El Syf Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Hopefully it's a proper mount and not some mid transformation thing going on, that doesn't float my boat too much, Hated that old vampire with the one wing and one normal arm, just looked really weird. Hype train is firmly on though! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The centerpiece looks rad in potato, hopefully it delivers in 4K, 3D and on paper 😆 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotAWzrd Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 (edited) Is anyone else seeing Sigvalds sword arm or have I just stared at the pixels for too long? Edited April 30, 2021 by NotAWzrd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raptor_Jesues Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 i have a suspicion about that model being a kitbashed "named lord" made with the new blood anvil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaylorCorvette Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Unfortunately, you all are slowly convincing me that this is a kitbashed model using the Anvil of Blood character creation. But I'm still confident of us getting a new center piece model! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot undersand what is the thing in the lower half tough, at first i though it was the commander bloodknight horse seen from the front but i am not too sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what it looks like to me, especially with the anvil rules in this issue. Certainly we aren't seeing the sort of big spotlight articles we'd expect from the soulblight gravelords release, or even mention of the faction by name, so I think we can pretty safely say that the gravelords release will not be in May, or if it is it will be towards the end of the month.

sandlemad Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 The sword really is very Sigvald-y... There seems to be a different twist in the torso and arm but if you’re going in for that level of conversion, it’s rather small beer. It would be one of the most drastic conversions/kitbashes to be shown in WD so prominently but still... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I double dare them to make him summonable, green Knight style, through the death of 15 bloodknights. like a friend of mine grinning, when his blood tithe points hit 8 👹 but, the anvils are such an reoccurring thing, throughout AoS 2.0, and hails back to the old world, where my master necromancer didn’t wear the official hat, but costed like bigN himself, I‘d really like that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sception Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 (edited) Gotrek is maybe an ok example, except his stories are all about him teaming up with buddies and sticking his nose in everyone's business the warhammer world over, unlike Abhorash who really does seem to prefer to brood prettily on mountaintops alone, and resents whenever anyone intrudes on his manly isolation. As for the mega gargants, they're literally mercenaries. Whenever they don't have other gargants to hang out with, they go around looking for armies that will feed them and give them someone to fight. They're the polar opposite of loners.

Clan's Cynic Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Death civil war post-Teclis is definitely a thing then. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sception Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 It's a thing before Teclis is even over. Mannfred and Neferata have already started to feud over territory before its even done. Which is definitely a retcon to Mannfred's past characterization, given that he had explicitly abandoned Carstinia and Sternieste and sworn off trying to recreate Sylvania viewing the whole business as a mistaken vanity project and a colossal waste of his time. But now he's back to ruling Carstinia and actively expanding its boarders. Ah, well. Not the first retcon to his character in AoS, and at least it gives him something to do that takes the form of actually leading armies against other armies like he was a character in a tabletop war game or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaylorCorvette Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I know a lot of people are going to disagree, but I am really hoping with all of the events in the BR series, it is leading up to the Vampires leash loosening and allowing them to have more autonomy. However that Flash Point blurb in the upcoming White Dwarf makes me think there is going to be something that ultimately reunites Death so that they can fight off Chaos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clan's Cynic Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 The Cursed City stuff sounds dumb enough to be believable. I find it difficult to believe GW is immediately showing off conversions done in-house, but I suppose they did show that one Sigvald-into-Vampire conversion on Community pretty quickly.
