Hail Hashut! A very generous friend recently gifted me a Blackshard Warhost and I am excited to delve into the Legion... expect me to be popping up with questions presently.

As a Swifthawk fan, that bums me out as with their old battalion, they were quite playable and fun.

That's good to hear. Would like to see him get them through a tourney or two before they're phased out. I'm happy playing Open so I'll be seeing them a lot but it is nice when people who never even consider Aelf factions scoff that SHA and then get whupped.

They're beautiful all painted up, such a shame. At least he can play them in Open/Narrative.

My take away from the last few pages here is that my friend's newly-acquired, freshly painted Swifthawk Agents army is basically DOA. That's a shame, they are so much fun to play against and really just need a few minor tweaks to be really competitive.

Any idea if Swifthawk Agents will survive? One of my favorite opponents has a great army of them and I'd hate to see them squatted. As someone building a Seraphon army, I'm psyched about these rumors.

Most impressive.

How does Hamilcar swing that two-handed axe thing while holding a lantern?

I was one of those fence sitters who finally jumped in. I've never played any version of Warhammer but was a devoted reader of Old World fiction. I was tempted to jump-into WHFB but right as I was about to start, the End Times were announced and I was pretty unhappy about that. I thought the launch of AoS was pretty clumsily handled all around so I sat back and wait to see what happened. The timing of the second edition/Soul Wars worked out perfectly for me. I'm about to paint my first minis ever tomorrow. While I miss the Old World, I'm pretty intrigued by what AoS has become.
