  1. They do seem to be setting the Lumineth and the Hedonites on a collision course.  Now that Archaon knows roughly where Slaanesh is, I'm sure the Hedonites are going to be flinging themselves into Hysh and Ulgu non-stop.  We know that Teclis has been preparing the Lumineth, I wonder what Malarion's response will be?

  2. I think that's my problem.  My current army is Idoneth, but they're such a weird grey faction that I had a hard time figuring out where to go with my own army's story.  I settled on them basically being sould mercenaries, where they will fight your battles for you no matter who you are, as long as you let them reap the defeated army.  It took me a little while to get there though, as opposed to how much easier it was for my Chracian army to develope.  I have a feeling my Lumineth army is going to feel a little more natural as well.

  3. I will say I miss the chance to tell more grounded stories that the Old World afforded.  AOS is awesome in a Greek gods kind of way, but where the setting is weakest right now is life fleshed out from the non-Godly perspective.  My namesake character Koradrel had a complete backstory and saga of accomplishments, because the old setting gave you a deeper pool to swim in.  I've struggled to do the same in AOS, though to be fair, it could be that up till now I haven't had a faction that I liked as much as I liked the High Elves.

  4. But at the same time, that was one of the things that killed WHFB.  They had pretty much fleshed the setting out as much as they could from a wargames perspective.  They wound up just re-releasing new sculpts for models nost of the time.  The little bit of new stuff they did come out with felt very forced in the setting.  It's the one big thing I like about AOS.  They have really thrown the gates open to embrace any weird idea they want to come up with.  That's also why I'm excited about the Lumineth.  They look to be a fantastic blending of the new and the old.

  5. Heh, I should be finishing at least 1k of my Idoneth, but every time I look at painting them I think, "Man, these could be Lumineth...."

    I'm also kind of curious where this army will slot into the meta.  Traditional High Elf armies tended to be toward the top half of the power curve, it'll be interesting to see if this army continues that trend.

  6. That particular pic of a face over Teclis' shoulder I think has been proven to be Celennar.  There was another version of the same painting that showed the face in more detail and full color.  I really want Tyrion as well, but I din't think this is proof that we're getting him.

  7. See, this one I think is even less a warhammer.  Taking a chunk out of the middle of the hammer like that would rob it of it a lot of weight and damage potential.  Also, on both of these pics, this shape of the objects that are the "heads" extends incredibly far to the side of the shaft.  I do have to admit, these pics have me very curious as to what they actually are, and I'll happily eat crow if I am wrong.

    @TheadTheOgorSlayer that is an very valid point!
