    Ugh... some crappy old chaos release. Broken realms is meant to be about AELVES and even then Idoneth players are being treated like ******.

    Lumineth getting a new battletome and second wave only a year after their box set came out. What about new Idoneth rules? What about our second wave and new endless spells? 

    Even in Underworlds we have to wait and wait and wait.

    I'm seriously thinking of starting a petition to protest the treatment of Idoneth players.

    join the club of ever other army's fandom, everone want stuff for their army

    Anyone else thinking that out of the bosses in the Cursed City, Radukar doesn't really look that BBEG? He's just not that imposing in my eyes.

    And I think its the hat that does this to me.

    he probably the initial bad guy, the last expansion may be the  true bad guy of the story

    I highly doubt the thing that saved Ven Brecht was Be'lakor. There's both the size issue as well the fact that it'd seem a little beneath Be'lakor to break into a prison personally just to rescue one Stormcast. Surely he'd send servants to handle something like that, right?

    i remember that the Shadowstalkers from Catecombs where said to have made a pact with Shadow daemons in order to gain their powers. maybe Belekors is related to or is the progenitor of these daemons and they follow him directly. maybe these are the same beings that rescue Von Brecht. 

    of course if it is Be'lakor that is pulling the strings and decided to free a stormcast eternals, he is definitely doing something very well though out 5d chess plan.

    The decision to show a dead chaos warrior on the base of Belakor is quite interesting. You would have thought he naturally ties into the slaves to darkness range, but maybe this is suggesting something else?

    its also interesting to note that Belakor is also playable in 40k, so i wonder if he has multiple part base with a CSM on it or GW just going to shrug that a there a dead Chaos warrior in the 41st millennium 

     

    my wild tinfoil hat theory for Belekor is that he comes out with Undivided Ruinstorm daemons for AoS, just because i like the look of Ruinstorm daemons from HH.

    The same time line also has a little blurb which probably explains the destruction focused short stories and might be the opening for BR Alarielle. If so, there could be something in BR Alarielle for our much maligned Fyreslayers : ).

    It might spoil the whole destruction storyline though, so if you rather not want to know where this might be heading, do not click on the spoiler.  

      Hide contents

    “Gordrakk and Skragrott unite a grand horde of Destruction to breach the Tuskvault, within which is contained a shard of Gorkamorka’s own club. The Heavenhost Warrior Chamber, along with its Sylvaneth and Fyreslayer allies, resists long enough to bring down the mountain, sealing away the vault.”

    The blurb is the last one before Broken Realms in the time line. So, this might in the end not be what’s going on with the destruction stories, which would follow up on the event mentioned in the spoiler. 

     

    that not really a spoiler since that same story was told in great detail  in the Sons of Behemat battletome, basically Skragrott used Megagargants to help him in that battle, but they didn't manage to get the artifact in the end

  6. Actually the Gardus novel, was him journeying into Shyish  and him encountering Mannfired. he ends up reclaiming a city now called Gravewild.

    most like he a Black library special character release, but his recently lore does have some correlation with Vampires and maybe where the current narrative is going to.

    I'm just posting the results from Vince's Warhammer Weekly surveys one more time. Had around the same responses, but asked for armies played. The blue one is from mid-last year, when the LRL weren't fully released yet, and the other one is just from a few weeks ago. The blue one only allowed for responding with one faction, the green one allowed for multiple choices. 

    There are quite some differences which could be fun to speculate about, although I don't think we have enough data yet. But there could be a big discrepancy for some armies that are well liked, but still not being played that much (pricing could be an issue, difficulty of painting them etc.). Or there could be none, because most people equate "like" with "play".

    i think it easy to explain why SCE are the most own army here, both being a starter set army and market to the beginner crowd.

    they are just probably not someone favorite army, people probably branch off SCE once they made a 2000 point army to another army they personally like more. a lot of people probably have SCE but it maybe their secondary or tertiary army they play as oppose to their main.

  8. i feel like KO don't need to be merge with other Duradin in one battletome. i don't think 2 different separate Dwarf faction  is such a bother considering that there are 4 and maybe 5 in the future different Aelf faction that don't look like they are going to be merge together either. 

    the best world would just keep the current two dwarf tomes seperate as is and just make an Ynnari rule set in CoS for the big united Duradin army.

  9. maybe a solution would just give  foot heroes better protection against shooting (extreme case would be to make them un-targetable when in look out sir range or maybe something similar to the necromancer where they pass on attack to nearby units) but buff up  melee assassin foot heroes  like  the deathmaster  or Tenebral Shard to have strong abilities to jump past screens into these heroes (Flying charge, better Deepstriking abilities, ect) maybe still a bit NPE but feels a bit fairer then being dumpster at long range.

    i guess you can have certain sniper heroes that ignores LOS like 40k Vindicare assassin  do

    Can someone point me to the direction of the AOS rumours forum.

    I mistakenly ended up in a 40K Necron's section. Maybe the DNS records are mixed up and point to "40K Unwanted United"

    Admins, please fix that i want to go where normal people go.

     

    to be fair we are talking about AoS 3.0, just using the 40k edition as a comparison.

  11. i think one of the reason they choice Necron is that they have always been  known as an  easy to paint army (spray leadbealcher and put a coat of nuln oil on them and you are all set). so it a good beginner army for newer customers.

    this could also be a factor of what armies get chosen in the end, we are all kind of assuming Stormcast is going to be front and center of the new edition just because of how they are both posterboy faction and have always been design to be newbie friendly.

    What will be the big baddy for AOS 3 after broken realms. I’m interested in the direction it could take I’m hoping it’s destruction or order as we’ve had chaos and death so far. There’s a lot of armies that need new models or revised old models, so could it be something like bonesplitters or skaven or maybe something new? 

    if it is destruction, most people are leaning towards updating and giving more Models to Ironjawz, since they are suppose to be the posterboy of destruction and a lot of people have been waiting for models for them since they been release 5 years ago. new armies for Destruction have been theorize to be either Sky Grots or the Silent people two popular theories.

    Skaven is probably the other big contender only because their range is half anchient and they could use a Necron refresh but the BR narrative doesn;t seem to be going there

    It is really,.. weak.... :(

    They aren't bullgors/warherd they are marked Gors.  It's disappointing they don't have Brayherd.  But then I don't know if Tzaangor or Tzaangor enlightened do either.  They do have 2" reach on one weapon though for 40mm bases.  But at 140 points 280 for 6 isn't doing anything....

    pretty sure all Tzaangor units have the Breyherd keyword

  14. So Forgeworld went back to classify units into Grand alliances. i am going to go on a limb and say that everything in the AoS range (even Gloomspite units and greater daemons) is going to be purge really really soon.

    probably the best time to get any model is now
