MOVING ON: I'm very excited about the fluff fact on the card of her having a clear historical trade of physical strength. Reminds me of Adrianne Avenicci from Skyirm (Whiterun blacksmith). She's badass. Now lets hope they apply more of this and even gives this aspect to more factions in the game without taking a step back to objectification and japonisme (anime) traditions.

Austin Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Definitely will be new models shown today. Hastings was all over Atia's blog yesterday saying that we would be happy with "tomorrow." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DantePQ Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Oh thanks I was letdown because Adepticon was hyped a lot by GW and apart from showing like Shadespire works they didn't show anything special and they showed very little new minis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Haha don't do that to me! I am not a source for any rumors! Merely repeating what I've seen. (but I really want you to be right haha) He seemed to be saying we would see the new shadow aelves. -edit- Here is the actual quote (https://war-of-sigmar.herokuapp.com/bloggings/1824#disqus_thread): "I hope so too. I think it is REALLY important that AoS builds it's own aesthetics for the races rather than just dropping stuff that is supposedly wiped out with the old world into the new setting with just a stupid name. GW took the bold move of killing the old setting and creating a new more fantastical one, seems only right it should be populated by something more fantastical than just dropping the stereotype fantasy races into their new setting. The Sky Dwarves seem to me to be a good example of what they should be looking to do for EVERY race, and to a lesser extent I guess the Sigmarines are too. So it will (for me) be nice to see a new kind of elf (aelf) that we haven't already seen elsewhere, something unique to AoS. I can only hope the same happens to both death & destruction too as currently both factions suck big time, don't get me wrong I know they're for the most part good even great models, but they are old world things that supposedly got wiped out just dropped back in the new setting and for me it totally diminishes what GW did by creating a new setting, but that's just me Anyway I hope you like what you see tomorrow :)" The only bad thing for me is that it implies the new aelves will not be Death faction.

Sete Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 They won't announce an AoS faction right after Death Guard. I'm sure tomorrow we will have something. But if we have something today, he I'm up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gladders1980 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Isn't Adepticon on for another 4 days? Why do people think everything was being announced on the first day and so nothing else will come out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erm it pretty much looks nagashi in my opinion the mask has the same head ornament as nagash plus the eyes and skin look pretty dead in my opinion. I do hope if GW does new liche priests they take motifs from the mask. It's going with a picture called warhammer "underworlds" where the whole plot of the game is nagash being a well... troll.

Their lore says they actually grew stronger during the Age of Chaos. And doesn't Death want everything to be wiped out? To create more undead?

I've got nothing against realistic female figures or females wearing armour. You've read way too much into my question. I simply feel that ridiculously over-proportioned six-pack armour not only looks daft, but also makes no sense whatsoever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You reckon she's not actually ripped and her muscles don't actually 'fill' the gaps formed by the armour? That makes sense - it's all just for show, in order to scare away the silly orcs! Maybe all Stormcast are actually like that, little weedy skinny people dressed up in shiny armour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
