  1. this is why i think him and Vandus are coming post-4e-launch in a matchup box. good way of introducing new Ruination and BOK with narrative stuff imho. it just doesn't seem right splitting their releases up unless Khul's ascension is what gets Vandus sent to the Ruination Chamber? but like you said, why would 2 new Chaos heroes be squished together?
  2. the lady stormcast on 2e will finally be vindicated!
  3. i believe Loyd is saying Ruination Chamber is the "first" because it's based off Blanche's concept art
  4. what if you can add Ruination keyword to existing units? and they get bonuses based on this "death company" style Chamber?
  5. there's no reason why the warscroll can't have both a universal ability and a quick description imho, because yeah it did suck to flip through a not-battletome to remember stuff
  6. i could 110% see this being how they introduce another destruction faction 👀 if Silent People are indeed Coming, then perhaps they're the anvil that stops Skaven from overrunning Ghur? Kurnothi could help stop them in Ghyran Fyreslayers expansion and/or COS duardin help stop Aqshy, maybe even Chorfs for the Chaos civil war Tyrion for Hysh's defense with Phoenix + River Temple Malerion revealed for Ulgu's fight against Skaven Azyr would probably be Seraphon and maybe Ruination/Covenant Chamber? Chamon could be Gholemkind Shyish is revelling in all the bones and souls the Skaven give, maybe too much? which allows other Death Gods to exist again. or Skaven become the dogs and other pack animals of OBR
  7. this also got a Whitefang like, so some OG stormcast are safe
  8. oh really?? because the cover dude kinda reminds me of Blanche's concept art... which would make far more sense for the Ruination chamber than the army's whole aesthetic
  9. I prefer the red ribbon on the spine, though I do think the red on the front cuts off a bit much of the cover art
  10. i should have guessed shadow clones 😅 but she's got those giant wings
  11. thank you!! are the screenshots from Soul Wars? I like that Sigmar feels more akin to "what if Thor had to become God-King" rather than just another version of Fantasy Odin.
  12. I've been told Sigmar has let souls that didn't want to return, pass on. Some Stormcast even sacrifice their souls to become Bifrost-esque Skybridges. @Baron Klatz or @Togetak probably have more input on Sigmar being a Regretful God-King. The Sacrosanct Chamber's entire purpose is to help the Reforging process both in the forge itself and by seeking out some kind of cure. I can see them keeping SOME secrets, but if there's no Natural Flaw then why are a THIRD of the Stormcast specifically geared and trained to combat the Flaw? I'm not convinced the conspiracy could go so deep that there's no Natural Flaw period. It feels more likely, from everything written so far, that there IS a Natural Flaw due to the rushed implementation--but it can be made worse or be forced by the Six Smiths. If there's an Intentional element to the Flaw, then there's also an in-text reason for named models having favoritism. However, this whole lie thing hinges on GW writing a GOOD conspiracy and... "grimderp" wasn't coined for no reason.
  13. it feels implied he can instantly teleport between both sides/Realms of Hammerhal, but yeah she'd still have to fly out over to Verdigris?
  14. @Garrac another pic of Skaven in here too! Eshin meditating?
  15. my guess is the Warhammer store campaign booklets
  16. the new Castellan from Callis & Toll uses the key to teleport instantly right? maybe he's taking Krethusa around after she helps save Hammerhal? and then she's... flying the rest of the way 😅
  17. here's a thought... what if there isn't a NEW lie, and we're getting a bit of a red herring here?? Whitefang's said Death will have a protagonist role in 4e & we've seen teases of Shyish's role in the campaign books and shorts. We KNOW for a fact that Nagash hates Sigmar because he feels betrayed; what if this is Nagash saying "Sigmar lied"?
  18. i do like how unapologetic he is about AOS as a setting/game (likely because streamers deal with all kinds of trolls and haters), and I was glad he pushed back against Miniac's video panning the ruleset. He comes across as a dude who knows not everyone is into Matched Play, but wants both sides to know it doesn't need to be hyper-competitive. wish I had more time to watch his battlescroll/balance streams, cos I love the excitement he brings to narrative and model releases
  19. Khul and Vandus need to be in a dual box together right?? Which means the 2nd BoK wave is likely coming with part 2 of the Ruination Chamber/Warrior refresh for Stormcast. personally i can't see Khul coming before 4e, especially if Lady in Ruin is Varanguard. Maybe Darkoath releases with her, as Archaon tries replenishing the Varanguard through the worthy?
  20. I'm wondering if the gheists will be new screening units? glass cannons in melee, but screens nonetheless. I am actually starting to think the Yndrasta equivalent might be the new Castellant model, or possibly even reforged Astreia?? It doesn't make sense to put Vandus in a launch box without Khul. my Ruination chamber thoughts: gheist unit in 5s armored "Ruinators" in 3s Sacrosanct handlers or support hero that keep the Ruin Chamber focused and/or stable Vandus Final Reforging, likely in dual box with new Khorne? generic combat hero these are definitely not in the launch box as they'd take the place of Ruination kits, but I do think the other paladins have got to be refreshed in 4e so they can get down to being in 3s like annihilators. it would also FINALLY expand on annihilator armor having animal motifs. I'd be surprised if there's not a new generic "Relictor" so I'm with you that the Lord/Knight distinction might get removed for models, as it means the Knight Relictor will slot into the generic role easily. Veritant I can see being axed to make room for a Ruination hero, Since Ruination Chamber feels like an obvious choice to showcase Thunderstruck Sacrosanct, maybe new Veritant comes with new Vanguard Chamber? whatever happens to them, their Lantern of Abjuration should 100% stay in the game/lore in some way.
  21. does the focus on Narrative Play mean I wouldn't need 2k points to participate?
  22. it would make a LOT of sense to bring in new duardin to help fight Skaven... fingers crossed aetherGOLD too
