Stormcast box should be a true SC for Sacrosanct. Maybe it will even allow Soul Wars to have the proper unit numbers. But that would be weird numbers... 12 sequitors, 2 or 7 evocators, and 4 castigators Not sure if it'd even make me return my unopened SC Vanguard box to buy this Battleforce, even if the models were actually from the boxed sprues. edit: people are hoping for dracs in the box, I can see that but definitely not Aventis. Maybe Astreia for the dracs since she buffs them.

what do y'all think the Christmas boxes will be this year? I still have an unopened Vanguard SC and wondering if I could return that to put towards a bigger Christmas box...

So I can use all the tokens and other accessories from Shadespire, just no universal cards correct? I bought a NIB Shadespire and Nightvault recently... feels slightly bad now but hopefully my buddies will chip in to split stuff.

Order 'daemons' vs Chaos daemons would be a sick box... both having big monsters to clash against one another!

Came here to see what y'all though, I am mostly hoping they don't go the WOTC route like Magic and rotate things so fast you have to spend a stupid amount of money to keep up. With them adding new mechanics past Shadespire though, it does make sense to stop printing Shadespire universal cards and rotating them out. I don't want to think the sky is falling but game companies and money grubbing is par for the course

Once you get the hang of things, I will say there's always room for more battle reports (ESPECIALLY narrative games)

I think starting an in-depth hobby like this while trying to run a video channel might take time away from either that would be better spent focusing on the other (if that makes sense). If you are BRAND NEW, highly recommend watching other people first. Miniwargaming and Tabletop Minions are my recommended places to start. 2+ Tough does good lore vids, and Rerolling Ones has good battle reports.

I sincerely hope the Excelsior Warpriest comes back, perhaps with some more friends? Interested to see what Aelves make it into which cities as well... And the dwarven artillery has gotta be coming back in new plastic sculpts! My guess/hope is with a nice high fantasy twist to it.

that would be a sick reveal for my birth-day, though I don't play Death 😅

The heads to the left are also the two from another rumor engine! edit: oops I'm late, y'all are on the ball

I am in the same boat (started with Soul Wars), and after filling out the weird unit sizes for that box I feel lost as to where to go now. I got 3 longstrikes, 3 palladors, a castellant, the Getting Started incantor (8 usd), and a relictor on top of those. The good thing is that Stormcast can swap stuff in/out easily, but this makes it quite hard to decide on what to buy. I'd say start with more heroes, maybe some cavalry or elites, and then more battleline. Skaven and FEC are in a good position, Stormcast are not with no invuln saves or fight first models. So it is partially because of overpowered faction abilities, and Sequitors going up 10 points this year (120 -> 130) edit: I should probably get some Liberators ASAP but I still need to paint everything...

spear rumor confirmed as the beastmen warband in Beastgrave starter box How would that work do you think? There couldn't be more than 2 ogors, if that, since even stormcast are only at 3 models for a warband..

I've always played paladins, clerics, guardians, etc. Soft spot for the Lawful Good and Neutral Good tropes; the duty to defend others from harm through service and sacrifice. I love the aesthetic of the Vanguard and Sacrosanct Chambers, and I like the Strike(?) Chamber aesthetic as well. The lightning theme as well is so cool to me, both as a mythology nerd and as a WoW Shaman main. Lorewise I haven't read enough material (especially full books) to really comment, but I enjoy the high fantasy of AOS. The Anvil of Apotheosis is an interesting take on immortal/undying warrior trope. I like that the Stormcast retain past memories and/or human personalities. I like the options of where their story (reforging, chambers, humanity) can go, even if I may not like how GW chooses to advance it... I get that they're posterkids, and I do see some similarities between Space Marines and Stormcast. But honestly at this point I don't think I care? Unless GW pulls the same bs that Marines have with looking down on regular humans, I don't think my issues with them can hurt my overall enjoyment.

Petition to have them name this terrain's rule "Meat your Maker"

@xking@JPjr@Overread thanks for the explanations! I keep finding out just how little lore I've actually dug into, and TBH the high fantasy setting is holding my interest much more than fantasy earth Old World. Even with needing more time to solidify the Mortal Realms lore, it just feels better having these absolutely fantastical places that allow players more creative freedom. I cannot flipping WAIT for the AOS TTRPG now!!!

This is absolutely wild to me, why are the Realms not globes? Sigmar even flew through space, and uses that metal planetoid to make sigmarite?? Is it tongue in cheek about us playing on 2D tables, or do y'all think there might be some sort of Realm-fusing event where they turn into a globe. Is it possible, if using the center as North and the Edge as South, to accurately know which way (counter) clockwise will take you regardless of where you are in the realm? I suppose if the 'sun' doesn't move then it could be done without a compass

I was pretty excited to read this thread by the title alone but this bit is ungodly intriguing...where is the source for these so I can read them?

It's quite possible they do a Re-Animate army, but it'd be a bit too close together to do simple undead/risen Ogors with regular Ogors I think

yeah, but having any of the 3 (4?) separate from the damn cauldron kit would be GREAT

where is this from 😮

this is a good article and well laid out for beginners. but may I ask why there's no pinned/set/permanent way to go back to your homepage or search for other pages? The layout feels unintuitive when readers must scroll down to have any sort of menu pop up.

Am listening to the Gates of Azyr audiobook but I think I'd like Soul Wars and Hallowed Knights stuff more

did you miss the entire opening sequence where she's been a lone scavenger for years and is CLEARLY well-versed in using her staff in combat? that alone would allow her to defend herself against a wounded opponent...

i have not been able to find that starter set for paladins, else I would probably buy that + the start collecting box for decimators.. What other Lord would you recommend buying for players who started with the Soul Wars set?

I'm more of this belief, since back in 7th when I started only one dude even thought Tomb Kings were cool enough over the other armies to play them... I really never heard people talking specifically about TK but maybe that was my area/the internet not being as big as it is now.
