Yup - I like the room for speculation, I need to reread the passage that describes celestant vibes, but immediately my mind considered KF

Agree. I like the dark soul esque vibe when it comes to hinting at these things, so that we are free to speculate.

I'm not sure it says mortal realms, but It certainly refers to him being a ruler of sorts. Saying that, he could be both. We aren't certain how Balthasar (Balthas) came to be a Stormcast. It could be that they were reincarnated as mortals in the new realms before being a stormcast.

Spoilers for Soul Wars Prior to the Soul Wars novel, its was (fairly) argued that Celestant-Prime could not be Karl Franz, due to the fact Franz belonged to a different world and had simply perished. However with the advent of the Soul Wars - It is heavily implied that a Lord Arcanum, known as Balthas Arum, was in fact at one point Balthasar Gelt of the old world. Whether he was reincarnated as mortal in the realms before becoming a storm cast - or whether his soul was preserved from the end of the 'World that Was' is up for debate. However what it does show is that non-gods can somehow be preserved from the Old War in one form or another. Does this mean that Karl Franz' soul has been recycled as Celestant-Prime? Given he is once again Sigmar's favoured champion and once again wields Ghal Maraz? Or not? Or does it really matter? Thoughts?

Yeah I’m not sure I understand the negativity here. This has been a massive year for AoS and just because nothing was announced here, I highly doubt that’s the last update for the year. Be positive that AoS has gained some huge momentum this past year. 40k getting updates just means more money for GW, more money to develop some new products for AoS.

I think it’s specifically for an army, as the article states we will find out who it is for. hopefully Warherd/Brayherd!

Hey guys, just picked up the SC and the Nightfeast box to start these guys off. Advice as to build my first GK on a ZD or TG?

Yeah agreed - i'd swap out the KoS for GoS, Grimhailer can fill a similar role to KoS.

Because they are cheaper and the range? Rerolling hits? Bladeghiests can also reroll (near a torment) and can have 3 attacks each of your turns (retreat and re charge). Grimghasts are cheaper and are battleline but Bladeghiests do not need to be discounted automatically.

Yeah I think I'm going to grab 2 boxes and run 2*10 for the Shroudguard with the Grimhailer

Is anyone considering using Bladegheists? I was thinking of running a shroudguard battalion and wondered what people's thoughts were on Bladegheists.

Ah sorry, didn't see it. I'll have a look. Thank you

Overall can you give us a run down of how your Nighthaunt played? Strengths, weaknesses? Surprising units/or synergies.

Very excited for DoK in AOS 2 - yes our battalions aren't the greatest, but we have one of the most blendy battelines of all time. I current have about 1500pts of DOK and I'm looking to buy Morathi to push me to the 2k. With Tzeench being hit hard, now is our time to become one of the most competitive armies. For the Shadow Queen!

Agreed, to me Olynder looks the best - she has a number of ways of pumping out MW and debuffing enemies and raising up units. Seems like a solid Lynchpin but probably easy to kill with only 7Ws and a 4+. Very excited to get her first though.

My god the Mortarch is an absolute MW powerhouse.

Yeah this is how I see them too, rather than the MW aspect. Very resilient 'attrition' army that will wear down an opponent. Attractive to me as I currently play DoK which is the polar opposite Glass Cannon!

So excited for these classic models to be painted up, such fond memories of playing with these against the Empire!

This were my first models too! Awesome find

Nice right up guys, loving the hafling adventures!

This is beautiful, thank you for sharing your work and your thoughts

Looking great, can't wait to see more!

Man that was honestly one of my favourites so far, fleshed out the Freeguild and gave Lady Arialle some character. Awesome stuff
