Well I guess if that is "EVERYTHING" then we're also not getting dice, warscroll cards or a limited edition battletome
After all, everything is everything.
Everything in terms of models.... well, endless spells too... I guess. Ok ok Ok
Ohhhkaaaaay

I wasn't being serious
This is it. This is Soulblight Gravelords, I don't want to get my hopes up for anything more. We've seen all there is to see and the models are lovely, if not everyone's cup of tea.They literally said on the reveal video, THIS IS EVERYTHING.

I have waited 15 years or something close to that for today’s boon.
We win the internet today. We have simply the best looking army. Ladies, gentlemen I salute you all.-

Oops wrong thread

Can someone please invent a time machine and send me back an hour so I can sort out this god forsaken mess?!

I’m in Sweden, we’re an hour ahead. Just imagine how much worse that feels. I’m in the future and I still don’t know what’s going on.

Call me a heretic but I’m all about keeping stuff as it is, but drastically updating miniature range and massively overhauling rules.
I frickin love Zombros, Skelebobs, Doggos and Batties lead by Vamps. Sure, gimme a few new units, but personally I play Undead cos I love the existing lore.
Sure, throw us a new Vampiric Centaur Gribbly or two, but I really don’t want a massive AoS style reinvention along the lines of Lumineth, Ko etc.
Etheric Bong Wizards from the Realm of Heinrich Von Deathghist, nah.

YES, we need an horse (or horse+) lord
Let’s call a ♠️ a ♠️ the Palanquin is utterly turgid bum gravy. The amount of time, money and effort it would take to paint that is so completely out of whack with its in game utility. It’s also a super lame build of the kit compared to the other two, and if I’m brutally honest it always felt like a weak sauce cash grab. If the rules were half decent, I’d get behind it. Currently the meh is strong with that one. That said, I’ve never been especially wowed with the Throne either. The Mortis engine has always felt like a far better utility piece. Cheaper, with a great casting buff, it has an aura heal, screams and blows up.

I wonder where our future Vampire-armored-Echidna ends on the ladder of Death hierarchy if she is our new big centerpiece..
Above Mortarch (unlikely but not impossible)? As powerful ? Same strenght than Vordhrai or Radukar ?
Given how our current Mortarchs (discounting Vhodrai) are weak as p i s s rules wise, it shouldn’t be hard to top them. That is, unless the seriously beef up their rules (please please please).
I’ve never quite wrapped my around how Manfred and Neffy are supposedly these baller vampires, yet fall over to a stiff breeze. How exactly was it they survived the utter destruction of the old world?

Wow.
So, new leaks suggest ALL unit champions in AoS 3.0 will be able to issue commands from the new generic ones (stand and shoot, flee, defend +1 save and also attack +1 to hit). Which means we can expect some big FAQ’s to OBR, and might give more weight to us getting archers, i.e. we will likely be able to benefit from stand and shoot too and will therefore need a unit able to do this.

Has anyone managed much success running Morgaunt? Defo seems like the red headed step child of the courts.
I’m gonna go out on a limb and predict they drop to 80pts for 10 in GHB 21.
Also feel that with potential battalion losses incoming and move to generic our strong Mordants build will be thing of the past, competitive wise.
Putting to one side what we don’t know about said generic battalions, the meta will, I’m guessing, shift somewhat with greater focus on effective sub-factions and command traits.
How do people think we’d fair in that climate?Finally, I’m one of them jammy ‘c u next Tuesdays’ that got two copies of Cursed City (haters gonna hate), how rad are the Vargskyrs?! Absolutely binning off the old Vargs.

Pretty sure it’s the mental new centaur camp thing predicted / leaked a while back

Where has the name come from? I couldn't see anything in the article, can't it just be Abhorash?!
I think maybe, just maybe... its time to let Abhorash go. x

More importantly, wtf is this? It looks big, batty, pasty and with pointy things. Well, thats my professional opinion anyway.

INTERESTING
Usually the WD articles relating to AoS are watered down, fun takes on things in the respective factions. Perhaps this pic might lead us to believe its as simple as we get two types of Vampire lord? I know we shouldn't read too much from this, but bestial companions and different mounts seems very sexy.
'If you like the idea of creating your own characters then you’re in luck, as Anvil of Blood provides you with guidelines to do just that for a Necromancer, Wight King, and your choice of Martial or Arcane Vampire Lord.'
'You also receive a number of destiny points which you can spend on adding nuanced skills, upgrades, and equipment, and you can even accompany your deathly lord of choice with a bestial companion, or mount them atop a monstrous or esoteric steed.'

I flogged off all 120 old skeles, 40 great weapon grave guard and 140 zombies. Simply couldn't let go of my old metal grave guard with sword and board. Oddly they are pretty much same head height as new skelebobs in cursed city. It's just the SIZE of the head thats so off. Gonna keep them tho, cos they are charming and cost a smegging ton. That said, I am really hoping Gdub release some turbo bad ass hench af chad like grave guard.

The posing is also a big deal. The leaning-way-forward gimmick of 7th edition was kind of cool when the entire army was being blown forward on invisible necromantic wings, but when it's just a couple units in the army, or worse a couple models in a single unit, it just looks really weird and awkward.
Lest we forget how amazing they were when they first came out. Finally, uniformed easy to rank models!

In order of releases, I think we're actually due for a bin book, whether in terms of AoS in general based on the new lumineth in general or death specifically, since both FEC and OBR were pretty strong when initially released. So I'm not putting too much hope into this battle tome being strong in a competitive sense. The best I can personally bring myself to hope for is a fluffy book with a distinct tone, inspiring art, and engaging narrative hooks, giving a strong place for the non-ghosty, non-necromonger undead within the AoS setting, and introducing some new units with cool models that might one day become good in some future battle tome, and even those hopes are on shaky ground given the Cursed City developments.
Well it does imply Grave Guard will be in new book.
-
And there you have it, confirmation SGL will still include Graveguard and by the looks of it, still using the old kit.

Bah, maybe you're right.
I guess I'm just super disheartened at the premature death of cursed city. I didn't even get a chance to play a game of it yet! I was looking forward to an entire season of the new undead-themed warhammer quest line, with new expansions and developments all along like Blackstone fortress got. Stuff that I could play in the board game with my non-warhammer playing room mate and friends, and then incorporate as additions to my soulblight army as a steady stream of super thematic and characterful new model releases. I was hype for Cursed City. Weren't you?
GW themselves even went out of their way to tie excitement for the two things together. Kritza, spawn of Radukar, but shown in the video with the other new soulblight releases! Ever present references to Ulfenkarn in every Soulblight Gravelords preview and teaser article! The Cursed City was central to the entire gravelords pitch, defining the look, feel and tone of the entire faction. In all the build up to the Gravelords, they keep coming back to Ulfenkarn as the defining example of everything the faction is about. Not Nagashizzar, not Nulamiah, not even Sternieste. Ulfenkarn. Ulfenkarn's nobles get highlighted. Ulfenkarn's regiments get named. What about Neferata? Where is Mannfred? Vhordrai? Never heard of him! It's all about the Vyrkos Dynasty!
Maybe I conflated these two product lines too much in my head, but GW absolutely wanted me to do so. Now half of that connection has gone up in smoke, and as someone who was more than happy to set aside the oldhammer vampire personalities and invest myself emotionally in the new Cursed City crew, I can't pretend like the entire Cursed City game, product line, and road map vanishing into the aether doesn't affect how I feel about the Gravelords, or what I expect from the faction.
Chill your boots.
Games workshop haven’t officially stated on their community site or white dwarf that the game will be unsupported going forwards. This is all speculation based off some comments by Gdub on social media. Even if Cursed City was a limited run, it doesn’t mean there won’t be subsequent additions to the game. That is just further speculation.
I absolutely hear your saddness not to have picked up a copy, really it sucks.
I have two copies, one still in shrink wrap with a key. Far be it from me to be an opportunistic scalper 🥸 but if your so very desperate, make me an offer.
AoS however is a much bigger product line. It’s their flagship product, and nothing their board game does regardless of connections thematically or narratively will have any impact on the AoS product.
All will be well we will get our Vamps, our new heroes, our centrepiece models, new endless spells, battle line and elite units. Special dice, cards, tokens and ltd edition books.
The only serious issue going forwards, will be availability. If you don’t manage to be there on pre-order day, at 10am ready to buy expect to be disappointed. It’s always this way to a certain extent, but right now even more so. BUT, as it’s a flagship product it will always be in stock and for years to come. It’s just if you're like the rest of us frothy mouthed consumers who are so easily manipulated and wound up by GW into thinking that the world is ending if we don’t get our toys the minute they are out.Final thought, Covid is a c u n t. It has effected everyone in the world. And I don’t know about you, but I’ve always played hammer (for 32 years now) as a form of escapism and a sanctuary from the crud. It’s a world and place I love to explore, a game I’m obsessed with wedded to a community I dig. If anything gets in the way of that, ie covid, it really really bites. Right now, for me at least, I need this escapism more than ever. And for it be taken out of reach, by the very same company we look too for our fix, without good communication or clarity, sucks.
Thank 🦆 we have this space to offload and support each other.
Much love.

Also - Cursed city does not dictate Soulblight.
Exactly.
It’s it’s own thing. If anything it’s a gateway to other game’s, i.e. AoS. They wouldn’t scrap AoS stuff because a boxed game had stock issues.-
