I really have no idea lol. I just want to casually join the discussion.

Well it always includes, you can easily see this point in fyreslayer, idoneth or any other non-human battletomes.

Well yeah but it's not a faction.

Dawnbringer Crusade is more like a pan-order war effort rather than a single faction, lorewise, I mean.

Don't know how you think about this information But please know in the newest sylvaneth battletome there are lots of reference of your works on Ghyran culture, from Ghyranite Knight Order to cultist community of "old stag", almost everything got mentioned.

Yeah, I always found the Horror series an enigma, apart from certain works like the Dark Harvest written by you, most Warhammer series seem to be neither proper horror nor memorable good work. Do you think this phenomenon is caused by restrictions applied by BL doctrine?

Out of curiosity, did the "(relatively) hard work got ignored but easy work went popular" kind of strange thing happen to you throughout your time writing for BL?

Encyclopedia for a evolving setting never ends well

But it doesn't mention new models, does it?

What a based take, kudos to your insistence. And I think they are really double standard Considering the fact many Bretonia fans felt mocked by how ghouls were described as delusional nobles and knights in the setting.

Don't forget csm, squats, ig and even world eaters on the release schedule, though, all of them are going to be big.

Wait, do you really need to apologize for your work with Order of the Fly and Gardus? I would be really angry at BL/GW to know that, since they are the very thing attracted me to this setting and I still consider them as the top-knot among everything wrote for AOS. Yeah I can totally see that, back in the day, the interactions between your books and those of Robbie and David are the most interesting and joyful bits of the whole IP for me. Every cool boy has a dream to build their own world with their own heroes and villains, who can say not? Overall it's nice to have you sharing these experience with us, definitely hope you had a better time writing stories for Legend of Five Rings and Zombicide series!

Excellent briefing mister! And it's good to see you here again! May I ask if you feel the same way when writing for 40k？ Or is it better because that setting is more established and seasoned?

Hahah no Don’t be too confident about that.

Nah, Nagash could just resurrect him after he fixes himself Undead mounts are also revivable

TBF during 2.0 the whole setting was actually moving, you could feel every step of escalating story by each tome and expansion Until BR4 we suddenly got a literally who centauroid god who led the story to nowhere.

Never explored enough imho Especially after Josh ended the contract with BL

More likely to have a <you>

GW really needs to do something about leak at this rate...

Because it's not just gonna be "WFB Empire" after all? I mean, obviously there are many design cues shared between WFB empire and the human parts of the COS, for reason in-lore (Their major god is basically the same person with same taste but older) and out-lore (most human models of COS are from WFB), it's not strange to find some lineages and similarities in the seed of this redesign. But does that mean this seed will grow into the same tree of WFB Empire? I don't think so. AOS as setting provides totally new and different soil, water and fertilizer, even the seed is completely same to WFB Empire, it will grow into a new tree we have never seen before. And there are no two seeds completely same to each other. Let's use this example again, imaging high elves compared to lumineth but this time WFB empire to new COS.

Retiring old models doesn't mean their lore and concepts will also be abandoned, they are more likely to be changed, updated or reimaged, and that will be a long process, maybe even 5+ years till we see the final result. Lately Squats have just proven this. Losing their models doesn't mean these humans, aelves and duardins are purged or massacred in the background And yes I do think some WFB legacy models will be retired, but we will likely get something new and unique in their stead. It's like exchanging High Elves for Lumineth. BTW, if you read the lore of DBS, it's not really like the crusade and colonization in the OTL, this is because AOS as a fantasy setting, is completely different from our earth, the crushing force of Chaos, Destruction and Death exist there. Of course, since this is warhammer, DBS has its awfulness： millions of poor and desperate people are simply sent to die or to face more horrible endings in the twisted hellscape.

This is just WFB Empire. Empire is like a light year away from 40k Imperium, linking Empire to Imperium is like comparing a dog to a sabretooth. Maybe we can talk about the risk of COS falling into 40K imperium when they can legally kill anyone who isn't a human sigmarite.

I don't understand why people think the redesign will make COS into Imperium. Imperium is its own thing for 40k, a special product bred by that horrible setting filled with grimdarkness It is never a thing for WFB or AOS The redesign, at its worst, will make COS similar to human nations of the old world, whose major population are poor, conservative and fanatic, sometimes maybe even foolish, but they are never fascists or human supremacists.

The time hasn't come, the stars haven't aligned

Eternus is a powered-up Varanguard by Belakor, basically his spymaster & legion master & Stormcast eternal Chaos legionaries are smaller chaos warriors, belong belakor. Centaurion is basically a centaur, commander of legionaires. Horns of Hashut is the herald of Hashut, but don’t look like as dwarf Theridon are basically a squad of ogorid, like bullgors.
