    That said the idea that that mace is being wielded by an elf is absolutely wild to me, even if there's design similarities elsewhere, but it wasn't the ogres and it wasn't the Spire Tyrants...

    The mace belongs to one of the Bastgrave orcs.

  2. For centuries, in almost all cultures of the world, men performed war-related functions. There were exceptions to this, but they were exceptions so unique that legends arose around them (see Amazons).

    If for someone the game is an extension of the perception of current reality, then in fact the lack of diversity can be a shock, a proof of all the worst blasphemies to the current social paradigm. However, I think that most people play to escape reality even for a moment, to move to another world rather then contemplate the shortcomings of their own.

    And just as killing in the game does not make us psychopathic killers, the expectation that knights are men does not make us sexists. 

    That said, just as women in barbarian teams from Warcry look completely natural and cool, women in the ranks of a freeguild regiment or women chaos knights would look like pretentious quota fillers. Heck, there is a whole women faction of DoK which looks terrific given their lore and fluff. Where is diversity in that?

  3. These are not horses. The sculptor probably tried to manifest the idea, that these creatures are more dynamic and stronger than regular horses, so that their poses are taken to 11. However, in general terms, the pose on the left corresponds to the first photo.

    Before the above photo was taken in late 19th century, there was a serious discussion on whether there is a moment in gallop when all four legs are in the air. As you can see there is no instant in which horse touches the ground with more than two legs. The new GW sculpts reflect gallop very well.

    Maybe the Kurnothi being Syvaneth just means that GW is making new models without worry about new armies so they're just throwing them into best fit. I'm kind of hoping for that so maybe those new wolf riding goblins will be Gloomspite GItz.

    That would solve a long standing rumour of a dichotomous light/dark elves army which would turn out to be in fact an army of sun/moon worshipping gobbos.

  6. Race !=faction. They don't have Kurnothi keyword, just plain Sylvaneth. If GW will ever expand on this new race, it will be a Sylvaneth subfaction. Given that the Sylvaneth battletome has just been released I wouldn't expect that to happen in the near future.

  7. All the universal season 1 cards have been phased out. The universal cards in core box sets are pretty much the same in all three season. If you want to play casually buy one starter set (nightvault or beastgrave) and the warbands of your liking. If you want to play competitively you should probably aim toward getting all season 2 and season 3 warbands.

    So with the surprise reveal of Grot Wolfriders, I suspect they are in the Orruk book. Which has me thinking if we will see a Cities of Sigmar and Ogor warband in Beastgrave? 😁

    They share mongolian aesthetics with the new ogor tyrant, so maybe they will be covered by the new ogor book?

    By the way, how it is possible, that somebody has already got and painted the new model:

    Makes sense, Killteam starter was also pretty much a one run release. We'll probably see both warbands released stand-alone, but all of these big value bundles are usually limited.

    They said during one of the previews that the Warcry starter set will remain in production for some time, unlike the Killteam original starter.
