    Aos 2 - Lumineth Realm-Lords Discussion

    He is definitely not Tyrion, I stand corrected. When they first released the article they only showed the lower half and I got carried away by the excitement, but given the moon symbolism he seems to be more clearly affiliated with the "Teclian" side of Lumineth. I'm also curious about the veiled miniature, because it gives me very strong Bretonnia vibes...

    A bit disappointing, tbh. The miniatures look amazing, though. However, I don't know if we should expect an Ellyrion-like cavalry unit coming next or, instead, a Dragon Princes one. They say that Teclis taught the Dawnriders, which would imply that Tyrion has another unit of knights, perhaps heavier? However, later in the article they say that they have a more "Tyrionic" influence. Looking forward to the 9th of March!

    Veering slightly from the current conversation track, but what if all the imminent and rumored Aelven releases are because the next big lore event is going to be Slaanesh escaping captivity? 

    Wrath of the Everchosen hung a lantern on the Dark Prince, who hasn't gotten a lot of lore publicity since the HoS release. Not really conclusive proof, but coupled with the Aelves, it might be leading in that direction?

    If they are following a sort of Psychic Awakening style of development of the plot and the range of models, I think we will see that in 2021. Wrath of the Everchosen - Attack on Excelsis (Fall 2020) - Fight for Slaanesh (Spring 2021) (With possible Malerion's aelf's joining the fight, as suggested by @Koradrel of Chrace)

    So is anyone else been coming up with a color scheme?

    I'm thinking of inverting the colours GW used for the reveal. More blue than cream. My lore idea is to have aelfs who once were warriors of Caledor, so I would also love to paint some flames and have some dragon banner options...

    No. I clearly remember an image with Teclis in the front and Tyrion in the back. Why can't I find it? I didn't make it up.

    Edit:

    I don't want to sound like a conspiracy theory but here it is but it has been reduced:

    image.png.4fd808a8e88d945acbde1b3037e78277.png

    I am pretty sure I saw more of the character in the back. At least a face. It was signed under it it was Tyrion and Teclis.

    EDIT 2:

    Yup. You can see him here:

    tyrion.jpg.efa5bc9683a43a88dd1095d9952a1df3.jpg

    But there for sure was an image only with them two (the first picture I posted, without Tyrion cut out)

    Isn't that Celennar? I think that, in any case, Tyrion is the face on the background that appears at the end of the video of the reveal (and who has a weird little moustache)

    Greetings coneheads.

    If anyone's interested in Teclis' previous incarnations, I've just started a new blog series examining his every chronological appearance from 1992 to present. The first two parts is a little evident, but I'm currently working on posts covering his novel appearances and roles in the Storm of Chaos and End Times. Feedback as always appreciated. :)

    This was fantastic! Congratulations on the good work, and really looking forward to the next entry (I started playing in 6th edition, so it will be a great nostalgia trip)

    short answer: no.

    Games workshop laid the ground work with having 4 aelven gods all hanging around and doing important stuff, and I believe they need to get all of those story lines wrapped up. Aelves have been the most popular armies after all, and humans have gotten a lions share of models in warcry, stormcasts and chaos. It's also some of the best fiction in all of AoS right now (imho) and I am excited to seeing and collecting more aelven models as time goes on.

    But you can develop those story lines without needing to add three more armies. Malerion is the one with the biggest "claim" to have an army of his own, while Tyrion will be either part of this release or a future "expansion" of the Lumineth, and the Kurnothi should be added to Sylvaneth. I also think that putting Warcry warbands and stormcasts as "humans" is stretching the concept a bit too far. Empire players are stuck with old models and CoS, which is a great book, but probably a temporary patch till some factions in order get more developed.

    Back on topic, I would prefer to see Tyrion on Malhandir. We already have Teclis with a great best next to him, and with the new "Blind warrior" concept of Tyrion I think it is better to have him either on his own or just with his loyal steed. It also provides a great contrast to his previous incarnation: where he once was proud and covered in jewels, relics of old and the curse of his ancestors, now he is more of a humble warrior who fights only if it is strictly necessary.  A Jedi-Tyrion would be amazing.

    Don't you think that yet another elven-army would be too much? As it stands, right now we have 4 and Tyrion, Malerion and Kurnothi should be on the way at some point. I think it is more plausible to have Malerion joining Idoneth (Or DoK, but i can't see him allying with her mother), Tyrion bringing another "chamber" to the Lumineth and the Kurnothi joining forces with the Sylvaneth. If they follow 40K's path, it seems like campaigns are going to be "Psychic Awakening" events to release new rules and models, so probably no new elf army this year after Lumineth.

    As for the campaign with Slaanesh, which will definitely happen, I think it will come next in 2021, because the lore has been building up to the battle for Excelsis, and with Stormcast being one of the first battletomes of 2.0, it seems more plausible to have that campaign in Fall than anything elven-related. With that said, I would love a dual box set for the release of Lumineth vs. Malerion. Hear our prayers, GW!

    This was really nice to continue with the hype train, but I really hoped that they would be releasing an image of a new unit each week (And showing the battletome in Adepticon, to preview that weekend). However, I liked the lore. Perhaps the spirits do not represent sub-factions but more like the "tides" of the Deepkin or the doctrines of the marines? That you can switch them in different battle rounds.

     

    I also don't know if I like or if hate the idea of having sort of shrines and aspect warriors ala Eldar. I guess that if that brings cool models I will end up living it.

    So what do you guys think, how many kits are left?

    The Vanari Auralan Wardens make it sound like there are other Vanari units (similar to Namarti Reavers and Thralls).

    The Dawnriders come in sets of 5, so there could be enough space in the roster  for a more elite cav unit?

    More generic heroes are a given. 

    EDIT: more generic HEROES, not units... 

    First of all, I'm mega-excited with this release. High elves were my first love in Fantasy and I have only collected CoS to use my Phoenix Guard (And Mawtribes because I also had some Ogre Kingdoms), but didn't want to invest in a "pure" AoS army till the new "high elves" were released. And, oh boy, those units. And that Eltharion!

     

    With that said, and following the pattern of Idoneth and Ossiarch releases (which I think are the latest completely new armies) my guess would be:

     

    Dual kit: Dawnriders/new "ellyrion reavers"

    Dual kit: Vanari Auralan Wardens (Spears)/"new archers"

    Behemot: Dragon

    War machine: new repeater bolt thrower

    Elite unit: New "swordmasters"/new "elite archers"

    Generic mage + Kit for mounted or dismounted lord (like the former elf noble)

    This, along with Teclis and Eltharion, would mean 13 warscrolls and around 9 kits, which I think was more or less the size of both Ossiarch and Idoneth releases. On top of that, an endless spell and a piece of scenary and we are good to go. I also think that, as somebody said in the rumours post some time ago, Tyrion will come later next year (or even in 2022) with a new "chamber" of warriors for the army, after they have given updates to armies who need a refresh of their lines. I also hope that we can combine Lumineth with the other "-eth" and Phoenicium. Aelf horde, here we go!

    When I saw the Eltharion model in the trailer I thought it could be Tyrion, but bringing him back is a great nod to the High Elves. Love the concept, love the models, hate the pain I'm gonna cause to my wallet. And, as someone posted before, I think Tyrion will probably come later with a "New chamber" for the army.

    Thank you sir!

    Some things to consider:

    No mentions of Tyrion (maybe GW is keeping it a secret?)

    Will GW give Phoenix Temple and Shadow warriors the Pointy Elves Keyword?

     

    I hope so. I bought a phoenix and another unit of Phoenix Guard to complete my Phoenicium list, and it would make sense for Teclis/Tyrion to care for their brethren in the Free Cities. There was also a cool idea in the rumour thread about the possibility of Pointy Elves having a sort of "Stormcast-CoS" rule with Idoneth Deepkin, as they were also a creation of Teclis. As for the new miniatures, I really wish for a re-imagining of swordmasters and dragon princes. Those were our best looking units back in the day.

     

    So excited!

    As much as I would love to see some "High elves" love, I don't think that we will get anything till 2020, at least. Death + Ogors + Kurnothi/Beastgrave, along with the need to release Psychich Awakening/Space Marines supplements for 40k compress the calendar a lot.  However, next year there could be some sort of campaign related to the release of Slaanesh and the appearance of Malerion and Teclis/Tyrion to fight against it.

     

    Also, the idea  of crystal golems is amazing!
