[Aos 2 - Lumineth Realm-Lords Discussion]

Eh, I'm not holding my breath.  The last couple articles have taught me to set my expectations low.  Shorter-than-duardin low.

[Aos 2 - Lumineth Realm-Lords Discussion]

About 13 hours to go.  Man, I feel like a junkie waiting for his next fix.

[The Rumour Thread]

@alghero81 Ah, I see you are a person of taste and culture!

[The Rumour Thread]

I would imagine they are holding back the coolest models for the Lumineth, both single character and unit, for the Adepticon reveal.

[Aos 2 - Lumineth Realm-Lords Discussion]

@Thiagoma Sorry the wait got to you.  Personally, I've been waiting for a high elf army since End Times.  A few more weeks definitely is going to kill my buzz at this point.

[The Rumour Thread]

To add to what @LuminethMage said, they could give hime a significant bonus to casting, and that would be a goid representation of his power, having the ability to very reliably get off a few powerful spells each turn.

[AoS 2 - Idoneth Deepkin Discussion]

@Glemcik The second list you posted is really similar to the list I use.  I think you'll find that one more useful over all.  Though you may want to combine the three units of Morrsarr into two units of nine, though that's my personal preference speaking.

1 hour ago, novakai said:

I forgot but isn’t Tyrion the actual incarnate of light (Hysh) and Teclis is just a regular god that helps me be his eyes?

or are they sharing the spot.

because there’s a power difference between incarnate and regular god 

Tyrion was the one bonded to the Wind of Light in the End Times.  That said, it was trying to contain three of the Winds and once that caused Teclis to go Boom!  I think Tyrion is officially the Lord of Lumination, but Teclis is very definitively linked to Tyrion, and I've seen a couple references to them as the Twin Lords of Light.

[Aos 2 - Lumineth Realm-Lords Discussion]

That would be the coolest set of endless spells!  Would the spirits be predatory, or would the summoner keep control do you think?  And adding on to that, would it function like a normal unit, or would it be able to be dispelled?

[Aos 2 - Lumineth Realm-Lords Discussion]

Ivory and gold I think, with a granite color for the rock face.  The runes I'll try and do in a glowing purple.

[The Rumour Thread]

It was Teclis' obsession in the world that was, and he was on par with Caledor Dragontamer, the greatest mage of all time, and Nagash himself when Nagash had already basically made himself the demigod of undeath.  All of this was while Teclis was still mortal.  I guess I just extrapolated from there.  He is, at least, the aelven god of magic, much as his twin would embody aelven martial excellence.

[Aos 2 - Lumineth Realm-Lords Discussion]

It's going to a looooong weekend....I'm going to console myself with working on the aelven tower to prepare it for it's garrison.

[Aos 2 - Lumineth Realm-Lords Discussion]

Found it on etsy.  3dprintall is the seller, he's based out of Texas in the USA.  Pretty good time on the shipping too.

[The Rumour Thread]

Let's also not forget that while Nagash is the god of death and undeath, Teclis is the god of magic.  I would rather expect the god of magic to be good at the thing he is the god of, yes?

[Aos 2 - Lumineth Realm-Lords Discussion]

Interesting.  I have to agree that it sounds like the spirits of Hysh, rather than actual aelves.  Also, they're referred to as "eidolons," which so far in AOS has been a being that is a gestalt of either beings or concepts.  Much as I like the concept, I think that may be something for potential later releases.

In the mean time, I have bought a thing!

[The Rumour Thread]

@sorokyl This might be one of the most important questions I've ever asked on this site: 

As all pirates drink rum, how do vampire pirates drink theirs?

[The Rumour Thread]

Trust a group of duardin to make laws out of idle notions....

[Aos 2 - Lumineth Realm-Lords Discussion]

"We have to wait and see" is pretty much the subtitle of this thread.  Read the next line in Morgan Freeman's voice for maximum effect: 

Pointy Aelves.  For when you just want to wait and see.

(For a real giggle, read it again in Christopher Walken's voice!)

[The Rumour Thread]

Admittedly I'm kind of wrapped up in the upcoming Lumineth release, but do we really have any clue what's coming after besides the Sons of Behemat?  The reason I ask is because while we don't know that Nurgle, IDK, and DoK aren't getting updates, we don't know that they aren't getting said updates.  Although honestly, I think SCE are the mostly likely faction to get a revision this year.

[Aos 2 - Lumineth Realm-Lords Discussion]

I have to agree with @CommissarRotke, just because something is discribed as angelic doesn't automatically mean they have wings.  The actual line says "angelic creatures of reason."  That actually has a really broad potential of interpretations, and I think what we seen of the Lumineth so far could definitely fit that description.

I do hope we get a robust miniature range.  My wallet won't like it, but my paint brushes will!

[Aos 2 - Lumineth Realm-Lords Discussion]

That would be one heck of a release.  Anything in particular that makes you think it will be so large?

[Aos 2 - Lumineth Realm-Lords Discussion]

Sadly I think that might be too many models.  It really depends on how they do the kits.  I could see them having maybe the 4 types of mages, with tiny little things you could hang off of them that would differentiate which caste their from.  As for the spirits, they could maybe make one dual kit, with the different pieces maybe making one of two castes.  

What we don't know is if Celennar is all castes at once, or if there is maybe a hierarchy to the castes, and he/she/it is at the top.  If that's the case, maybe Celennar is the only one from the highest caste, the dual kit I speculated on are secondary and tertiary, and the final caste are basically little menial helper spirits.

All of this is just my own spitballing, what does every one else think?

[The Rumour Thread]

That would be awesome actually.  One of my long term plans is to do an army from each Grand Alliance and have them all based in Hysh.  Light Vampires might even give the perfect force to mock Twilight fans (still bitter at an ex who forced me to read those Nagash damned books).

[The Rumour Thread]

@Cambot1231 Man, I hope so.  None of the current Death factions really speak to me like vampires do.  Though I'm kind of hoping they'll break away from the old Blood Dragon type army.  I'd like something like the Vampire Coasts, with Realm roving steampunk Vampire Pirates!

[Aos 2 - Lumineth Realm-Lords Discussion]

This is one of those topics that is kind of painful for High Elf fans.  The problem is that High Elf armies of old were always tremendously popular, and were also on the higher end of the power scale.  Is this because they were popular that they were powerful, or vice versa?  I'm not saying GW intentionally makes popular armies slightly better, buuuutttt.....

So the interesting question to ask, in light of this history, is if the Lumineth will be inheriting this particular facet of the old High Elves as well.  I mean, we've done 30 pages of conversation with only toothpicks and rubberbands to talk about, so I'm assuming a descent amount of people are interested in them.

And @Acid_Nine, I'm going to assume that, at least with Teclis, we will be able to cause horrendous amounts of magical damage.  Now this might just be me channelling my inner Teclis arrogance as @willange pointed out!
