Ollie Grimwood Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I think GW did miss a trick by not having a necromatic construct factions with things like the Bonegiant, warsphinx and that stuff in. The Tomb Kings themselves may not have fitted with GWs vision of AoS but surely the undead constructs would have.

I think it's got more to do with the models still being based on the old, thicker and bulkier skeletons compared to the new ones. Although I wouldn't mind seeing a full statue/construct army for tomb kings either. Maybe even animated by something like a shadeglass core? There are plenty of ways they could expand death this way (and it's not like the Tomb Kings are too shy to defy Nagash by using things he doesn't quite like.)

Menkeroth Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Aye, it's a shame they discontinued sphinxes - brilliant new models. Although they are still present in some of non-GW shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I picked it up on a whim (almost keeled over when I got to the checkout to pay), but would say that it's one of the best AoS books I've read and does so much to build up the Nurgle and Death background. It's also a huge nostalgia trip as you've some familiar faces in it. Trouble is that the price you pay makes you reluctant to loan it out to people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleboda Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 As much as I prefer (vastly) hard copy over digital, how is it that we can't even buy it that way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do believe we will get a new bone giant model and the return of the Sphinx in my opinion still fits in the style GW has been going with death in my opinion. Of course this is speculation and I do agree with you on the point it's one of the best books for AOS so far in my opinion. Honestly majority of the death alliance books have been great in my opinion I want more undead books from Josh and CL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOtherJosh Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Having read through the first in the Hunt for Nagash saga... there is a lot of opportunity for death to be more a prevalent force.The interaction between Sigmar stealing the souls of his Stormcast Eternals from Nagash... and the anger Nagash has about the theft is pretty interesting.It would be interesting to see more of the humans that live in Shyish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
