now for the eternal question: Guard Dog or Hunting Dog?
12 minutes ago, Ejecutor said:Morgasht RE solving day is close.
i think so!! the name is Teratic Prowler and "terato-" is a prefix meaning "monster"
my money is on Guard Dogs and other monstrous constructs for defense.

which prophecy is that from again? got a faint brain recognition, one of the warcom shorts?

i am not entirely sure this was even lied about though; I feel like some of the Sacrosanct characters know the search *may* be futile. I think it makes much more sense for a"Warhammer-ism" if Sigmar lied about the Flaws being *entirely natural* and thus making Reforging a secret form of control.
if AOS is supposed to have a level of Desperation to it, the Six Smiths creating (more) Flaws to force Stormcast back into service--whether their souls want it or not--is a much MUCH bigger deal.
It also cements a reason why named characters can retain their memories/personality..... because Sigmar Wills It. Because they're too important or too loyal to change any further. And it also covers the inverse: Vandus has simply died too many times it seems, but Yndrasta was Reforged with the singular purpose of being a Prime Huntress, ergo more of her memories were taken to focus on nothing but The Hunt.
All that being laid out, I like whoever said it could end up being propaganda and not even a real lie 😂 that might be the funniest outcome. Big Sig has a lot of regrets, and probably as many Tall Tales about him as real ones.

was it just that it never got fully overtaken then?

I personally hope Sigmar "lied" about Azyr being secure. That sounds more interesting to me.
if Ulgu is the only other realm that hasnt been touched by Chaos, then it would be cool to see Ulgu when Azyr gets breached, maybe a nice light-darkness mirror because they're both the only realms that never got taken by Chaos??
Malerion could save Sigmar's realm and be owed the largest favor of all time...

"SIGMAR LIED"
My guess is that the lie is about the alleged "flaw" in the reforging process. We've known since Malign Portents in 2018 that the Stormcast have been lied to about why they lose their memories. For reference check out the Malign Portents story "The Price of Apotheosis"
So we are most likely getting the Ruination Chamber at last. Bring on the lightning gheists!after reading that short story, i firmly believe the lie is that the Reforging Flaws are not necessarily a natural effect of the process, but sometimes a form of control. which adds a seriously interesting dimension to the search for a cure... is there supposed to be one? or is there a truer cure the Stormcast don't know they're actually after?

I really hope that the lie they are referring to is this and its starting to come out . not saying i want stormcast civil war heresy stile but a splinter within them who are loosing faith in sigmar would be interesting, which could be mirrored within the cities with the failure of the dawnbringers
i just hope they don't 100% repeat the Horus Heresy... If some Stormcast do start to reject Sigmar, I hope they at least don't waver on their heroic properties and still ally with Order to keep each other safe.
even if Stormcast turn to Death/Nagash instead of Chaos, it'd still be too similar imho

All I know is the lines of some Factions blur their Alliances. Darkoath may as well be Destruction as they venerate no members or the Big 4. (6).
I hope that Silent People are slotted into Destruction because they clearly dont worship Chaos and have been described as Sentient, Patient and Violent. Their appearance alone would not allow them in most Free Cities so Order seems off the table
i agree they could be a Destruction faction that blurs the GA line, but I don't think their appearance should matter to COS more than

this idea, and it would also feel narratively lazy against Order. there's been Seraphon, Sylvaneth, Melusai, Gargants, Ogors, Idoneth, with even Orruks and at least one Nighthaunt in Order/Neutral Cities so why should insectoids be too different for humanoids? Part of what blurs Order as a GA is their ability to be truly cosmopolitan, and it can cement the idea that all the other GAs can unite against Chaos.
i like your idea about the Hive could definitely be a reason why they're slotted into Destruction. if Chaos has still corrupted large swathes of the realms (like they said they wanted 3e to convey) it doesnt make as much sense for SP to be Locust-like with eating the flora of the Realms.
if they take people there could even be a knockon effect where it pushes the denizens of the Realms to decide whether they want to risk being taken by Silent People inland or Idoneth on the coast

I cannot picture Silent People inside CoS at all.
The snippet we got proves they have sapience (toolmaking, complex communication, appraising/observing). They seem to be
TBQH I think any sapient species can and should be able to live in a COS--we already have the precedent of not only Seraphon but Orruks living alongside humans/aelves/duardin. We also know Sigmar worship is not necessary. They could be similar to Reclaimed where it's a refugee/migrant situation.
If they also hate Chaos, there is absolutely some kind of room for them to ally with Order factions IMHO. Especially when we know there are non-Sigmar City States that are allowed to (co)exist.

We know Reikenor the Grimhailer is the leader of the Nighthaunt attacking Embergard. Now, what does he do? Nagash sends Reikenor to slay those who attempt to cheat death.
I think he's attacking because Zenestra is on his hitlist and whatever exactly she is will be elaborated on.
2 hours ago, Vaellas said:To tie it all more to her it also mentioned the sarcophagi being tied to WHEELS. I also wonder if there is a more personal connection to Reikenor and the pyreguard as they were able to make someone burst in to flames. Didn't Zenestra also make a bunch of people burst in to flames?
and this is why I love reading this forum... love when existing threads get tied together like this 😍

I can’t help myself: imagine the shitstorm if GW had one of their male characters hate women and create inferior specimens! 🤭 Some individuals with bright hair would pop some veins for sure! 🤣
you do understand violent misogyny is still a rampant problem IRL right? and DOK's gimmick is essentially "what if the tables turned and women oppressed men back" right?
it would be a shitstorm because it wouldn't be fantastical, compelling, or funny. it's fine if you want to be a heel (the wrestling role) on the forum, but come on now.

"two cities will rise, but one will fall before the end"
and that shadow over the city reference from vol2
Are we wondering if neither of the crusades will fail, but it's actually the city of Phoenicium that will fall?
Taking with it the last remains of the old High Elf range, which will all return in TOW.
this was my thought today too! exciting to see what happens

What‘s the in-lore explanation? Female Sephiroth got an army of simps or something?
warlocks are all part of the male-underclass in DOK, so if Krethusa is promising/seeing a better way than Morathi's cult, it makes sense anyone in the underclasses would join her. so yea, sensible continuation for DOK! but it's also pretty clearly to get rid of old model stock.

I wonder what could happen. The Flesh Eater Courts taking over the city would be pretty sweet.
I'm kind of expecting Skaven? or something related to Krethusa, since Phoenecium is connected to seers IIRC?

Weird she has an ability that needs a cauldron of blood but her dawnbringers box doesn't come with one
and now we know why the warlocks have been in so many DOK boxes... Krethusa makes them battleline 😂

Since things are now heating up in Ghyran: Do we think the Phoenicium being destroyed is going to be a plot point of Dawnbringers?
After all, "a great shadow has fallen over the city's future".

axe is definitely not Kharadron or Fyreslayer, and it's very traditional-looking, either a TOW Dwarf or an AoS Grugni one. But the rumor engine has never before teased a TOW model, although this could be the first time.
the exciting question for sure: since HH has a few rumor precedents, could this be the first TOW engine?
to me, if they didn't put any REs out for the Bret and TK stuff, it feels unlikely the rest would get any.
the axe also looks fancier than WHFB dwarves would get, while being not-scifi enough for a Power Axe. Grungni's followers still need tabletop rep, whether as Dispossessed or a separate faction.
since the one thing we do know is the new theme is "weapons" we will have more solidified guesses after waiting (blech) for 2-3 more REs.
what a time to be both a Warhammer and Resident Evil fan 😂

Well this edition we get kruelboyz, S2D, seraphons, CoS, stormcasts, FeC, Darkoath, Orruks, and i'm sure that I miss some.
Sylvaneth expansion was 3e right?

I also love how they seem to be designed specifically to look like uncivilized counterparts to the cities of Sigmar units.
now that you put the freeguild marshal next to the darkoath chieftain, I noticed something very interesting:
the darkoath horse looks defeated, compared to the generalized exhaustion of the freeguild horse. like it doesn't want to be here.
the foot marauders make freeguild really really need a spear loadout!
since we are getting these two counterparts, I desperately hope it means we get models of Reclaimed as well.

Everyone, the article mentions something secret coming from WARHAMMER MACHANDISE STORE, not main GW !!!
"A certain somebody is coming up to a major milestone, and you can pitch into the celebrations with a stuffed box of exclusive merchandise commemorating his achievement. Quite what’s in it is something we’re keeping close to our chest, but all will be revealed soon over on the Warhammer Merchandise store…"
so a joytoy Grombrindal?? surely it can't be a tshirt or a mug...

Must be that kind of freedom where you allow some kind of shadowy entity to dominate your entire life, but at least you don't have to pay taxes.
the "dark oaths" they get their name from are taxes though. I get your joke but the Chaos Gods very much also have taxes 😂
Wilderfiends seem to be what happens if you don't pay the tax/honor your oath.
(possibly even worse ones than Order since like Asbestress said Sigmar does not care which non-Chaos god you worship)

jezzails and stormvermin are mentioned explicitly in this short, with possibly a Bell or lightning cannon?
two very good candidates for refreshing...
