  1. i've edited the post. i'm sorry you got caught but i thought this has been mentioned on the forum/thread before since book 4's been out for a month, and i left out ALL context + the most interesting bits surrounding that event. i also left out exactly how it happened, only that it did to be as general as possible. where is the line we're drawing for spoilers here though? i wouldn't have said anything about book 5 had i read it yet. A month of being "in the wild" seems like a fair enough amount of time to discuss releases, especially when keeping up with Rumors too often involves the latest narratives. edit: i've read a bit further and seen the discussion on this
  2. my only trepidation is that if Kelly really wants 9/10ths of the Realm discs to be held by Chaos... 4e can only have so much of everyone else losing. Like if Skaven took 1/3rd of the Great Parch, that sounds like Aqshy is now 9.33/10ths full of Chaos? where is the hope they say they want in AOS if Skaven and Chaos destroy more Cities than got founded? etc. starting to really feel like Malerion and/or Tyrion will be the narrative tools used to put Order back on the offensive, whenever that is. if Silent People are still on the table I hope they quite literally eat the Skaven out of Ghur edit: i don't want to write 9/10ths anymore 😂
  3. oh they FINALLY brought the site back up to par with 2e!!! there was not the same level of Realms info through most of 3e... this is fantastic work by the web team!!! i'm expecting this tbh, AOS deserves its own Mordheim if Ulfenkarn isn't going to be it! the last shot of the 4e trailer also felt like a co-op action rpg shot. Space Marine 2 is 3 player co-op for example... so was i, and yet we did get quite the eventful 3e, but Phil Kelly in his interviews once again said they want the realms to feel like "they're 9/10ths Chaos". which to me means that the only places Order/Death/Destro really exist in are the parts of the Realms that have maps. we can only hope the store-run Cities campaign lets more get founded.
  4. Sacrosanct might get a hero or two as wardens of the Ruination chamber? we gotta keep in mind that #AOSreforged means the team is trying to solidify/clarify the lore so new people can be onboarded better. Expect them to address the common complaints that "prevent" other Warhammer fans especially from jumping into AOS. i'm...tentatively curious about this. it would also explain why "SIGMAR LIED" was something we already knew about Stormcast.
  5. ugh it's 40k because of the servitor skull... was hoping maybe warp grinders
  6. this kinda feels like they're going to go all-out with a full (re)introduction to AOS as a setting, along with the 4e rules?? they're going to get me extremely excited for "AOS Reforged" if this is the case
  7. i don't remember this from the trailer, possibly another artwork to go with it? i really want to see the full size
  8. if the Skaven edition does not update their other mortal enemies like Gitz and duardin... I will be shocked, confused, and disappointed
  9. so does Golden Demon count towards New Model Monday or are we still waiting?
  10. i do wonder if some of them have a main account they use to interact with us outside the leaks LOL, i hope they enjoy AOS as much as leaking bread crumbs 😁
  11. could you DM me the full sized image of this? expanding it doesnt do much of anything 😔
  12. the way they've set up the Realms, they could probably infinitely rotate between them. i know people aren't thrilled we're going back to Aqshy, but the fact that skaven are ripping their sub-realm into part of Aqshy means there could always be this push-pull within them. Nagash could help force Skavenblight back into the subrealm, maybe Tzeentch steals the GHR idea and rips part of its own Realm into Chamon or something.
  13. also i'm like 80% certain the only reason more skaven die in the trailer is because there's 2-3 friendly fire "mishaps" -- Stormcast only kill a couple
  14. his helmet even matches the Teclis model helmet too, nice catch!
  15. i think we need to Occam's Razor this: new clanrat LEADERS have a Stormvermin-looking helmet. whether these leaders become Stormvermin or whatever might be the better question? we know there's sword/board SV but you're right that this one isn't armored enough. So it's probably just Clanrat unit leader.
  16. dearly hoping it puts some aelven units in COS too!!! i got a confirmation that my Stormcast sign up worked, but i've received zero Warhammer emails today... not sure why this would only be skaven?
  17. I doubt it, as there's already text that talks about the off-duty places Stormcast use for rest and relaxation? I'm thinking tall and ominous Black Tower, probably with that obsidian-sheen to it, that just releases a swarm of lightning gheists out of all sides when needed.
  18. in a way i guess? but i like how vibrant the art is MUCH MORE than the dreary, muted colors Warhammer insists on giving everything. definitely unfair to say this is a step down in quality when we can actually see all of the details the artist(s) painstakingly put in... the Skaven still look just as creepy as they're supposed to be, animalistic and frenetic. and the Stormcast have this cool juxtaposition between being colored like determined heroes while their armor gives them a more inhuman look. like look at this spittle?? the subtle bloodied jawline?? these would be impossible to see with the "moody Warhammer filter"
  19. of course he'll be missed... he was the bomb after all :') everyone needs to chill out about the trailer IMHO. we've seen the most stable veterans of the Ruination Chamber, coming out of retirement from monasteries. We have not seen the Stormcast being kept inside those Black Towers that Ionus is helping with. the properly F'd up Ruination Chamber may only come after the launch box, which I'm fine with waiting for.
  20. Judicators definitely still have a place as full ranged support. Vigilors are melee-ranged hybrid skirmishers, and they buff other ranged units. i'm thinking like this: Knight-Judicator 1x judis 1x vigilors Sounds like the perfect ranged detachment/regiment to me! Judicators are more like siegebows than regular longbows. Vigilor arrows aren't nearly as large as Judis'. these I agree are absolutely more up in the air than the battleline units. out of all the paladins, I can see Protectors staying since they have giant glaives and are specifically anti-monster. i could also see that, since hopefully GW doesn't want to destroy TOO much. the area i circled touches Hammerhal, Embergard, Anvilgard, and Hallowheart--so it gives GW the room to include enough Cities to feel like a major threat, instead of an impossible tidal wave against 1-2 cities.
  21. i do hope your idea of them retiring to become administrators and warrior-poets has some merit!!! that would be such a great thing to do with old stormcast
