  1. why would sky pirates and traders have tanks?
  2. wheat, wheat needs light to grow, thus light aelfs confirmed! in all seriousness, i think it looks too overgrown to be hysh aelf stuff. most likely wanderers/kurnothi
  3. I think CoS will be for Order what Legions of Nagash is for death. that is a soup tome, where concepts are taken and expanded upon in separate tomes, but it will likely be a slow process. then again Nighthaunt were about 4 or 5 months after legions of Nagash? and bone reapers are almost 2 years (about 16/17 months or so i think) So maybe we'll see the first expansion at the beginning of 2020 (February/March?) but probably sometime in 2020 and then the next in 2021. but yeah i think its going to be all good, for the most part...
  4. I think it could very well be some kind of musical instrument, if it is a bow, then it appears to be a (relative to real bows) crudely made composite bow
  5. a black dragon has a 4+ save, unless the rider has a shield then it has a 3+ save. full plate armour + shield = 4+, full plate armour + mount but no shield =4+ save. besides bretonian warhorses have metal armour under their cloth heladry. look carefully at atleast some of the models and you'll see chain mail. so a horse covered in chain mail plus a full plate rider plus metal plates on certain parts of the mount, plus shield. easily justified as 3+ save.
  6. personally if i was building/designing a warrior for a semi-medieval fantasy setting, i would give them jaws. like morghasts. I think bone reapers would have looked way cooler with morghast-y heads (so they look like slim wing-less morghasts)
  7. yeah, the stormcaste thread will probably die off now that proper humans have returned (with friends)
  8. @Forrix what makes it even worse is from what i can see the only other lancer cavalry with 1 attack are goblin spider riders (and dark riders) [and technically hellstriders, but those get 2 attacks if they kill something), skeletons and beastmen get more lance attacks (2)
  9. man i hope the Drakespawn Knights have an error on their warscroll. Frowny's analysis mades me wonder if they are even worth useing over other options. which is a shame as i like them.
  10. why wouldn't they wear mebdieval clothing and armour? why not? give me an actual reason other than "because i don't think it matches". why does it not match? hmmm? the Idoneth are 100% AOS yet their thralls don't wear any armour and weld non-magic bows and swords. why can humans wearing plate armour not fitt in a universe like that? or are you just complaining they look like old world minitures because, so do chaos deamons, chaos mortals (STD), Skaven, beasts of chaos (and thus almost the whole of Chaos, pretty much), Sylvaneth (parts of it), DoK (parts of it), Orruks (parts of it), Goomspite (parts of it), Ogres, legions of Nagash, FEC, Night Haunt, etc. so what is your problem with COS specifically? why are you and others so against these specific order sub-factions but seem to be fine with the others? now I would be fine with re-imagined COS stuff, but why are you pushing so hard for it, and apparent major changes? what do you expect orginary humans to look like in a setting where metal armour and medieval weapons to look like other than some form of twist on medieval-renaissance humans?
  11. I would love some armoured DoK models to suplement the unarmoured ones, like in that art for that RPG
  12. I wander if they will be mentioned in the lore like gitmob was mentioned in the gloomspite tome, i think.
  13. ok so "Cities of Sigmar armies are a little bit different, combining a vast range of sub-factions, a set of universal allegiance abilities that affect everyone, then a further set of optional allegiance abilities that let you dedicate your army to your favourite city. " so do you think this means each sub-faction gets an allegiance ability (your freeguild models get X and your wanderer units get Y) in addition to a selected universal allegiance ability and then a city allegiance. or are the sub-factions just for unit abilities that affect other units, and you get the universal and the city allegiances. "each of these mini-factions retains powerful internal synergies that reward you for taking several of their units – so your Sorceress on Black Dragon might be particularly potent when combined with some Black Guard."-this makes me lean towards the latter. what do you gies think?
  14. I didn't say all, I meant very vague, with named places from all over the realms, includeing major realm gates, but leaveing out most of the map as blank to allow for creativeity. I think it would be nice to have a large map of the realms with no real features other then dots and crosses labled as battle sites of super famous battles or cities. with everything inbetween blank. maybe with relevant stuff for a specific faction and half dozen stuff that is relevant to all. but what ever, i am not expecting it. just hoping for it. there is a difference. @madmac now i kinda want to build a themed arm around that.
  15. wasn't this revealed to be a small section of the realm or am i think of something else? If i am then i will admit my mistake. but its not really what i meant. I was thinking of an even more vague map
  16. @madmac I agree, we will likely see a sylvaneth-kurnothi(-wanderers) tome in the style of Orruk war clans eventually.
  17. well historically many armies would remove their shoes for better foot control, especially in wet or hilly terrain. remember medieval/renaissance (army) boots are basically just leather socks.
  18. that wasn't a rumour that was a wishlist, at least i have only seen people wish listing it and not say it like a rumour. as for the setting, i would like realm maps with locations of famous locations (battlefields and cities for example) and rough areas of control, like how 40k has the galactic map. it gives more ideas to bounce off of, while still being vague enough for being creative like 40k allows for more planets.
  19. ok so this an idea for my potential bonereaper army
  20. and 1/3 of their remainign models is still around, but I was expecting them to go, I was not expecting the skycutter to go tho
