  1. I don't really think they will release a new battletome for SCE so SOOON or will they?
  2. I'm not sure, but I guess so because to me they looks quite similar, but maybe not as I have no confidence in art appreciation On city book you can at least see 2 free people, one knight (may be a general, I am not sure) on demi-gryph and one fire mage As far as I recall no information about date mentioned
  3. They announced several things during the seminar The title of the game is called 'Soulbound' The cover art of the dm book will be the right part of the cover art of the core book we have seen, on it there will be chaos gods and forces just like the big head of Nagash For starter set there will be two books, one campaign book and one city background book. The starter campaign will begin in a newly created free city in Aqshy whose name is still unknown The city is facing an assault of TZ daemons and players need to help to defend it. The cover of the city book shows on the ground how free people battle against daemons and the cover art of the campaign book shows underground characters secretly fight against a group of daemons (there is even a lord of change!) Just like the core book and dm book, these two covers can actually be combined to form a larger picture The key point of the campaign is a sealed realmgate Background and daily life of people and characters in mortal realms will be detailed in the book
  4. Maybe influenced by China-US trade issues or Brexit? Don't know, heard no news, hope the delay will not be too long.
  5. 40k and Aos are certainly on totally different stage, let alone their themes and atmosphere are completely different, or even opposite 40k is on the road of already decades of developing, its theme is about the rotting and dying and struggling of the whole galaxy, (except greenskinz or nids I guess). Its frame is well-established and development must be steady and reasonable. It is for sure you will not see 'new things' as often as in Aos for there were already so much treasure written in its long history, creativity or 'new thing' doesn't always mean 'welcomed' in the case of 40k (just look at the impact caused by the invention of primaris). Surely a series of events after 8e mainly focused on the imperium, since imperium is now facing a disaster never seen before and 40k means to be a surviving story of humankind in grimdarkness of the far future and this is why it is unique. Moreover, it is safe to predict when the dust of crisis of imperium is settled, we will see more from xenos (to be fair they have already mentioned a lot about xenos, take Ynnari and GSC as examples) Aos, however, means to be new. Although writers have done a great job on establishing the world, especially after 2.0, there are still so many gaps and mysteries yet to be solved. Without constant content updating Aos can not grow into a mature setting. Ppl usually feel there are constant new things created for Aos, this is very true, because this world lacked so much when Aos was launched! They used to only have the base setting of the world! Aos now is experiencing exactly what happened to 40k from 2017-2018 when 8e launched, for all factions need a refreshment of 2.0 rule if Gw still wants them playable otherwise they will be cut out just like greenskinz and Gitmobs (temporarily at least). What we truly need to consider is where the world will go after the tide of refreshing finally ends and all must-have factions get released (light/dark elves, traditional dwarf and mortals aka free people, etc). My guess is more campaign books like Vigilus and Forbidden Power in which we can find expansion of rules and development of lore, sometimes get new factions hinted before in fluff (sky grots, etc). However, my worry is how those talented writers will create mortal heroes, for it appears to me that the time span of events in Aos is usually about hundreds of years, which is long enough for heros (I mean mortals, not sigmarine or chaos or undead) to get old and die. In this case creating famous mortal heroes will be quite difficult, as long as they do not simply transform every hero into SCE.
  6. Truely those bald men and women are good citizens of imperium, I will give you that. Maybe that's because the whole Aos is generally new I guess
  7. Guess what, Myrmidia does exit in AOS and has her own kinght order
  8. Looks like a bone giant or big zombie to me, may be the owner of teased bone tentacles
  9. Hold on, do you mean there are other Aelven gods or just Big four? Haven't read the book yet
  10. Seems it's the time to make a list of old elements from old world which successfully survive into mortal realms.
  11. They are so dumb compared to GW's tomb king IMHO And to those who think TK and BT are too generic, please keep in mind many forces in AOS now (like free people, DOK, Beasts, Skaven, Bonesplitters, even Gloomspites etc) are still pretty 'generic', with just some AOS-y tweaks made for them As GW has already shown their excellent talent to make old forces 'interesting' and 'new' again, I am pretty sure they are able to transform so called 'traditional boring' Egyptian and King Arthur themed army AOS-y as long as they do want to bring them back... Well, which seems unlikely
  12. Disappointing for me as I am hoping for a supplement about Anvils for so long time
  13. The problem for me is, why should all from Death bow to the Nagash, who, proved himself only good in messing everything? Order has Sigmar (and maybe other human gods such as Morrda, who is very likely Morr in AOS), Elves gods (even dead elves gods do exit, like Khaine), Dwarves gods, Seraphon gods (At least Sotek does still exit, not mention those demi-god-like magical frogs), Destruction has Gork, Mork, Badmoon, Spider godess Chaos has big five and maybe Hashut will come back one day as there does exit Chaos Dwarves But for Death, for Death you only have Nagash, which is... Dumb You don't have choice, if you are from Death then you must be ruled by Nagash, or some pitiful outcasts who have to fear Nagash everyday You can not be a necromancer who use undead legions to protect your living people because Nagash only sees you guys as slaves and one day will turn your people into dead walkers just for fun. You can not be a powerful vampire noble who just want to stay in your castle and rule living kingdoms , because one day Nagash will accuse you a traitor, turn you into a mad ghoul king who leads also mad man-feasting monsters Dudes, we do need someone from Death to stand against Nagash. And that, can be anyone but I will be particularly happy if that is someone from the world-that-was...
  14. In the big survey I told them to bring back Settra May the dream come true
  15. To Nagash... Ally sounds strange But if it is truely Kemmler it will be a great boon to Death, and make Death more divided instead of everyone bow to Nagash Seems GW is really trying to bring old glorious time back
  16. Wait, is that Celestant-Prime in AOH armour color vs Lady Olynder? That will be an interesting duel since Lady Olynder may be the weakest Mortarch, who was nearly destroyed by a bloodthirster, while we all know CP is the strongest Mary Sue with THE HAMMER in AOS and I really want Celestant-Prime to smite that vicious dead traitor scum severely. To be honest, Nagash should learn to choose some better and more reliable undead-thing as Mortarch. AND, hey, if there will be more lore about AOH, that will mean we are more likely to get old heroes back as SCE....
  17. It's actually looks very Azyr-like to me for the appearance of the city is quite like Sigmaron and Sigmarabulum However I am not sure if there will be jungle-like thing in Azyr
  18. Freeing Nagash, who later proved himself to be the most stupid tyrannical treacherous mad villain, from his cairn .
  19. I'm not going to put my bet on TK related thing for this one. It's interesting to think what can Sigmar regret about, the flaw of stormcast? Freeing Nagash? Or the failure led to the destruction of world-that-was?
