Koradrel of Chrace

Please tell me he has a special rule where he hates Arkhan, kind of like how he used to hate Grom. That would be so amazingly Eltharion!

GW historically does horrible jobs on their faces for characters. The old High Elf female mage had a paint job that made her look like a man, but the model itself was actually really good. I'd wait until you have Teclis in hand to judge. While he isn't featured, I still want to know where Tyrion is. And the other question is: are there dragons? If Teclis is all we are getting, though, I am beyond happy. That is a truely amazing centerpiece model. It's time I start upping my painting game.

So I am naturally going to buy Teclis and paint the ****** out of him....and then I will take a picture of him, tape it to a popsicle stick, and put that on a base. Because that model scares me with the very idea of transporting it!

Well Deepkin, you were a nice spot to dip my toes into AOS. I bid you farewell as I ride off into the sunset with the Lumineth Realm-Lords!

Holy. Crapbaskets. I am drinking my last cup of alcohol right now, so I can sell my liver on the black market to afford all of the Lumineth Realm-Lords that GW will make.

You need eels for damage. Even MSU eels runs 15-18 of them usually. That list is honestly probably the most efficient list Deepkin can field. The list that shocked me was the lady who's running a Royal Court battalion. I don't think I've ever seen one in a comoetitve setting, I'm interested to see how it does.

Ha ha ha Lotann is possibly one of the worst warscrolls in the game! He's so bad that he's become the term for the worst warscroll in any given Battletome. As for the Namarti Corp, there's someone running one in the LVO. He's taking two squads of 9 Morrsarr with them, along with a Soulscryer and a Tidecaster general. I'd say he's probably running the strongest Deepkin list in the tourney.

@Athrawes bite your tongue! I'll keep hoping for Tyrion until the Battletome is in my hands proving we aren't getting him!

Honestly, after this suspenseful of a build up, and after us desperately talking our wishlists to death, I'll be happy with anything concrete.

What time zone are you in? The reveal is 9pm Pacific Standard Time. That's midnight here for Eastern Standard time.

False. I must be there to witness the Dawning of the Age of the Pointy Aelves! All hail the Blind King!

Ugh, that'll be midnight for me, which is usually past my bedtime, since I am an old man. Better put on some coffee.

That. Would. Be. AWESOME!

@madmac I'm not so sure about that. That would make 3 factions coming out in a very short time frame. Who would you put in the box vs. the Pointy Aelves then?

@Tiberius501 to give you an idea of what I was talking about then, Glorfindel is one of the people that Sauron is actually afraid of. In the seige of Minas Tirith, another Balrog shows up. Glorfindel takes him single handedly. It costs his life force, but he wins. @Jaskier I could see their army focussing on being a CP machine, both to respresent how tactical they are, as well as their extreme speed.

The Silmarillion is also my favorite! That was the conversation I was having with my wife, about how you couldn't make it into a movie because it wouldn't translate well. And yes, I would give one of my legs for Tyrion to be that awesome! (But not my arms, need those for painting!) I would also settle for Teclis being that kind of character if we don't get Tyrion, though I think Elrond would be a better analogue for him.

@Sunchaser Ah, a man of culture I see!

So, how many of you are Tolkien fans? A random conversation with my wife made me realize what I want most from this new army. I want Glorfindel, the Lord of the West. I want the Elf Lord that reminds you why you do not mess with an elf, because they are beings of true power. 24 hours to go!

I have to agree with Overread, they're the dinosaur faction. A lot of younger people especially dig that.

@Neverchosen I can't really see Tyrion going to the Deepkin. He may have prevented Teclis from destroying them, but he didn't go after them, either. Plus, the Twins are a little too intrinsicly bound to each other to split them into two seperate factions. They made Tyrion able to see only through Teclis' eyes, that sort of thing doesn't really lend itself to splitting them up. I also think from the opposite side that it would ruin the Deepkin. They have a very loner "Fine, we'll do this on our own, we don't need no stinking gods!" aspect to them that is unique to the setting. I actually really like the potential for rivalry between the two factions, I think I would be even better than the old High Elf-Dark Elf paradigm.

At this point I wonder if it might be Pointy Aelves vs. Seraphon in a dual box set. Maybe what Teclis is doing upsets the grand plan or natural order and the Seraphon come in to fix it.

There was, along with some flowing wheat nex to it. Scale wise it didn't look big enough to be a special terrain piece, more like an adornment for a base. Maybe even for Teclis' base.

@JackStreicher They've said the army isn't coming till spring. That gives us a couple months still to get an animated trailer. It might even be released on Thursday with the LVO reveal.

I'd also like to see something like a crystal spire for our terrain piece, something with insane geometry that focuses magic.

Winged cavalry would be awesome. But the winged snake part, while referenced a lot as a symbol for Light magic, would be a little too close to both DoK and Deepkin eels I think. SCE also seem to have a pretty strong grip on Draco-forms, so I'm not too hopeful about us getting Dragon Riders back. But then again there's been a lot of talk about Tyrion's angel aelves, which is pretty similar to SCE Prosecutors, and kind of similar to DoK Khinerai, so there's that. @Tiberius501 I hear you. My wife has been making fun of me non-stop since the news dropped.
