the Old World was actually pretty shallow. I loved it. I grew up with it. That doesn’t mean it wasn’t just a collection of classic fantasy settings and tropes smashed together and then *slightly* modified. I will always have fond memories of it but I’m sure it was incredibly hard to write for. AoS is also smashing together tropes and settings but at least they also can kind do whatever they want and get away with it. I mean how much of the old world was literally just Tolkien and Moorcock with different names? A whole dang lot.
Anyway- I’m really excited to learn more about the Lumineth!

I doubt they will be more frail then Eternal Guard.

I’m actually pretty sure they’re on 32mm bases. The camera lens seems to have a bit of a janky thing going on to the left, but if you compare the base of the high warden in the middle and the Skaven almost opposite him, his base seems to be bigger.
I'd agree. If you look how the skaven fill the space of their base vs how the elves fill it I think that also shows the difference in base size. Elsewise those are some *tiny* elves.

Or just simply two weapon profiles and you can attack with both. Like all units with multiple weapons (if they can be wielded at the same time).
I wonder if spears will be something like 1 attack with 2” range and rend on turn someone charges while swords are 2 attacks at 1” reach no rend. Something like that could be pretty neat.

TBH I want swordmasters because I already own some. Could be new lion rangers- I can always proxy my swordmasters as them.
Fair fair. Especially since the Swordmasters were not cheap to come by IIRC haha

So we have confirmation of:
- Spearmen/Vanari Auralan Wardens
- Archers/Auralan Sentinels
- Cavalry/ Vanari Dawnriders
- Mages.
We only need swordmasters, chariots and some dragon/hawk riders and High Elves are alive again!
Honestly I always preferred the lions to the sword masters. But I played Asrai so of course I liked the rangers haha.

Well that article was fairly sparse but still got my hype levels up! I’m excited to see how the elemental magic and the sun spears work out.
I couldn’t help but laugh as they described how beautiful the detailing on the back of the shield is while only showing the front. “Trust me— you gotta see it to believe it. What? No you can’t see it right now!”

I'm not sure if it's actually good but man do I want to try a Drowned Men army.

I've been messing around a little with color schemes on photoshop but nothing too serious. I'm 100% sure I'm be sculpting some pelts for them to wear that will be painted white and possibly be from a feline source.

Dragons are neat but I'd much rather Griffons/giant eagles/Sphinxes.
I'd love if the spirits they mention are fantastic beasts in the same vein as Celennar.
I'm also not totally convinced that GW is very good at dragons anyway haha

What kinds of weird units do you want to see? What is something that's really far out there that would make the new army really clutch for you? I'd like to see some sort of Light Elemental, something that could shift between crystalline and ethereal forms.
I’d love to see a White Lions mixed unit ala squigs/herders.

Looks like 2 new warbands coming too:
That explains the symbol on the pin that I got from them. The bone over the wheel I mean.

I can’t believe how often it needs to be said on this forum. You cannot define what is too pricey for someone and you really shouldn’t be making people feel bad for not having money to throw at a fancy board game.
We cannot know each other’s lived experiences.

I played infinity for a while. It was great unless your internet connection went out and you couldn’t access the Wikipedia to navigate the labyrinthine rules.
It’s also got the swingiest dice. There are ways to control it but bad luck in that game is extremely unforgiving.
The models are really pretty tho.

@FlatTooth oh that would be cool! I was mostly interested if the pikes meant you could fight without your opponent being in range to hit back.
@Chaos Shepard haha, the mystery deepens
I have the feeling that there will at least be weapon types so hopefully "reach" will be some kind of ability they have! There are a lot of spears and stuff so maybe the pikes will also see a return to "strike first even when charged"!

Small criticism of the paint scheme, but does anyone else think its odd that their ripped off faces have a better completion than the rest of their bodies.
The twist is that the faces are the only part of them STILL ALIVE AGHHHH
Also that's where they see from and it's terrible.

I was planning out a Skaven army, the leaked price list showed my army would cost me about $10 more, so I didn’t rush out to buy it. The next day the price went up $118, meaning the average price increase was a little over 16%... and as a result I will likely not do the army since now the price at discount is higher than the MSRP was a week ago.
I’m not really complaining about it, but as someone who was starting to stick their toe back into GW games*, it serves as a reminder of their policies and why I stopped playing to begin with (as well as my army being FAQ’d into uselessness).
*Their main products anyhow, Blood Bowl and Necromunda don’t seem to suffer the same, and are still very enjoyable.
While we’re on the topic of terrible policies- Let me know if you’d like to buy one of my two discontinued infinity factions haha

I have a feeling the flayed face brigade will have a very interesting playstyle. Power from pain type stuff. The good news is I can’t imagine them showing all these bands and not having them be available to purchase at the start. It’s good to see they won’t just immediately shoot themselves in the foot ala necromunda haha.
But yeah keeping my friends on the hype train with little concrete info is getting kind of hard 😬
-
Hysh because I imagine a realm governed by a mix of geometric rituals.
Also in oldhammer all my battle mages were white mages
-
My biggest fear is they roll it out like the my did necromunda and kill a lot of hype for people wanting to play bands that aren’t out.
I genuinely dont don’t think they’ll do that but it’s a fear.
Im extremely hyped to see the final warbands but I think I’ll actually be going with the Ghur-boys and maybe buying two starter boxes so I can grow the game.
-
I’m a big fan of companies showing how much terrain they think a game should have (and by that token how much terrain they’ve hopefully play tested with). I just think this needs to have a bit more thought put into it.

GW has provided us with a bunch of different ways to enjoy Age of Sigmar. I know that the matched play content is getting like 90% of the focus online, but there is a ton of great content there for Open and Narrative play. One of the things that frustrates me about the community is the number of people who are dissatisfied with matched play and yet refuse to consider playing the game any other way. There is simply no substitute for talking to your opponents and finding people who want to enjoy the game the way you do.
Thanks for writing this. It was an incredibly insightful read! I couldn’t agree with this paragraph I quoted more. Sometimes I hear about the competitive scene and I get frustrated and then I remind myself that my group plays more towards the narrative side anyway.

Most of what you just listed was from the author you think is made up. lizardmen were literally just a kind of appropriation of South American mythology. But did you really just argue that GW made up the lady of the lake and knights of the grail?
