Tz will be super happy when play against Teclis and his pals I assume

Yeah in some books there are definitely language barriers between each realm or even remote places, eg: Scourge of Fate. it just seems writers don’t want to spend too much time on these details, I personally am fine with that but would be happy if they notice this problem

I think we really need a clear storyline, instead of random unrelated stories One of the reason I really enjoyed Josh’s work is that there is clear timeline in them and hence enough space for character and environment development, eg, Manny. There are also some moments readers come across several familiar names or places, which greatly help to make setting valid and vivid.

Dominate the Magic phase I guess When I say dominate, I mean D O M I N A T E Nagash is cheating through his filthy books, I will give him that

Well they actully even have massacare planets where millions of pious worshippers willingly sacrifice to become food, disgusting, but since it's 40k so totally fine for me. 40k is a story of how humanity survive in a extremely dangerous galaxy with every extreme measure, if it is worthy is a problem out of context and debate——as long as humanity survived, it is worthy. That's actually where lunaghast come from

Have you tried dark harvest?

Silver Shards

One of the problem I am not satisfied with the BL AOS products is the lack of connection with model. The character you find interesting in background is nobody on table while the character you actually use on table is almost nobody in background IMHO 40k did a far better job on building up some characters

No they are scions of godbeast behemat

Buy him a mug of ale

“Mist” is a more ulguish aesthetic though, not hyshian. There is always descriptions of how dangerous the miasma in Ulgu can be, like armies simply disappear in it. Hysh is described as a realm of perfection and insight, things there meant to be clean and luminous

Oh he knows nothing

Considering it's Teclis, he may not even be able to realize the flaw until everything goes wrong Typical Elgi (Burst into Grungni Laugh)

Oh no no no I am just speculating, based on the lore of Idoneth and Hedonites After all this is warhammer, 'perfect' is a very rare concept ( Slannesh eh? ) I believe no matter how perfect Teclis make these new elves look like, there will be some flaws, seen or unseen

To be fair, old high elves are just “perfect” elves in Teclis’ eyes Although even remade that may be beyond his ability, pity

The point is, the models don't represent everything in the background. So it is totally possible there are some chaos-corrupted handgunners, not mention the forges and daemon cannons of chaos dwarves. But why there is no chaos model with black-powder weapons? Practically it is because GW needs to make a divisity, after all this is not some history war game but a high fantasy setting. What's more, as a result of destruction and obliteration they brought to the realms, many of the chaos worshippers now are no better than the primitive savage tribes (there are exceptions, of course). These tribesmen usually want to walk on the path of glory and eventually one day rewarded by the gods, using gunpowder is likely out of their ability since the lack of technology and such behaviour is usually considered honourless. The lack of gunpowder is also associated with the nature of Chaos—— Chaos is in fact the most magical existence in the setting, especially consider the winds of magic come from the realm of chaos. If you have super cool magical ability, why bother with science? Khorne obviously will spit on the idea of using guns (though he does use skull cannon, shrug); Tzeentch, is the god of magic, then clearly his worshippers will prefer something more mystic, though in the time of need they probably won't say no to guns; Nurgle is the god of decay and stasis, will his worshipper want to accept something new? not likely. Slaanesh, well, if some people are obssessed with guns and consider shooting joyful , they will surely keep doing that, the ways of fetish are just too many! But just like previously said, the great propotions of worshippers are comprised of tribesman, using and maitaining a gun is not an usual thing to them.

Well actually in most of advancned and major free cities and areas, black powder weapon are very popular, handgunners are like standard regiment in freeguilds. City like Greywater Fastness is incredibly popular for its high quality gunnary production, there is also a specific department, ironweld arsenal, dedicated to the research of better gunpowder weapons, hence there comes the cogfort in Hammerhal. Other areas that don't adopt gunpowder can because of various reasons, from simply unaffordable (some backward towns）, unable to get the material to produce(Ghur, Shyish and Ulgu for example, just too dangerous and risky to mine, maybe), no technology (especially if you don't have shorty friends to teach you) or just don't like them (elves). In some rare cases, the people there may have superior technolgies then why bother with gunpowder (Kharadon and some ancient empire in Chamon.) After all the cost performance of gunpowder is still very good for mortals if you can afford them. They are even powerful enough to kill Stormcast Eternals, and a well-placed shot can finish a wizard from afar. However against some magical stuff like daemons and ghost it may need some magical support, for example, the good old silver bullets!

Gold

Whatever, I just want to see BIG A kicks right onto Katakros' butt and tells him who is the real boss! Can't wait!

I doubt they will waste those new sculpts of Chaos (herdstone, chaos warriors) when they released the old world.

Well, you know, back in the old wolrd, Teclis is the one who likes travling around and messing with others. TW:W 2's Teclis's campaign well explained how the Twins work together: When the younger takes the journey, the elder will defend and wait home. BTW, Miyazaki Hayao's movie Princess Mononoke is great.

Check the Tome of Champion GW definitely has plan for Lizardmen

dunno, I’m just speculating

It’s gnobla the warband is comprised of 1 hunter, 1 tiger and 2 gnoblas
