Beastgrave is setting up for a full Wanderers army it seems, unless Underworlds is going to expand factions where AOS can't. And I think Grungni dwarves are on the table as well? Either as a Dispossessed+Ironweld fusion or re-release that is separate from Fyre and KO. So to me, Order alone has 4 more factions to go:
1. Wanderers/Beastmeld aelves (where Sylvaneth are treemeld)
2. Hysh Aelves, Tyrion (and Teclis?)
3. Ulgu Aelves, Malerion
4. Third Dwarf faction, Grungni or revamp
Dwarves split into 3, Aelves split into 6 (2 apiece, esp if you count Deepkin as Teclis' high elf split). Humans technically will have 3 if you count it as Stormcast, Freeguilds, and Slaves to Darkness.
Honestly I am hyped as heck to have such different takes on the three archetypical fantasy races, and I'd definitely want to see them expand orks to stick with this 3-split they have going on.

Nope! Iirc Gotrek even comments on it in Realmslayer (though obviously everything made by and aelf is obviously of vastly inferior craftmanship, their wine tastes like watered down mud, and their inability to grow facial hair marks an obvious untrustworthyness)
There's no greenskin grudge either, I've even got a couple of gnoblar spotters parked on my artillery bases.
Well thank the gods then... been waiting far too long to see dwarves and elves actually team up, with none of the overdone "allies by necessity" trope.
52 minutes ago, madmac said:Wanderers are at least a coherent faction with decent lore, a unit line that's already almost fully reboxed, and GHB abilities. Fixing them is a lot easier to do than the old High Elves/Dark Elves and they've proven decently popular already for a non-battletome army. Not in a competitive sense, but they definitely seem like the sell better than the other left-over elves.
That part does make sense; the new models they are adding are obviously cavalry, and it does flesh out that big question of "what happened to the elves that didn't become Sylvaneth?" -- it looks like the answer is that they melded/transformed with their beasts in the same way the sylv revenants melded with dryads/Athel Loren(?)

Sign me up!
OMG then you'd get warrior mice too! A whole force of "Reepicheep" mice with swords VS skaven!
Redwall army!!! I could die happy if I could put armored badgers, otters, and hedgehogs on the table...

Don't know if it was already discussed here, but someone pointed out to me that on this picture:
it could be, that this silouette on the left could be a lion thing like the one from the preview in front of a satyr-aelf.
It is not quite the same, the hair on the feet, the tail and the mane don't fit exactly. So it had to be a another lion-miniature. Not sure about it, could be a centaur, could be a combined silouette of a lion and an aelf.
Edit: looking at the video again at 0:23 it seems to be the same centaur-creature from a different angle.
I was about to say, that's definitely a hoofed lower body. Wanderers seem weird to start with rather than Hysh or Ulgu aelves, but maybe there's more truth to that Wanderer x Ogor box rumor (which would also mean new ogor tome) that people have been throwing around.

Aye but then again teh lore has had them working together for a long while though its a bit of a surprise to put all the aelves into a tome along with humans and dwarves. WE might see it fragment later but right now it commercially makes sense to get AoS up to speed faster
Have they ever said the World That Was animosity kept up in the Mortal Realms? afaik there's no War of the Beard here... it would be kind of stupid to continue that grudgin' without a serious fracture in the Order Alliance storyline.

5. An announcement about Free Peoples that turns into more Stormcast models as Sigmar opens another chamber.
the chambers yet to be opened are the most intriguing to me, so I can't say I'd be upset 😅
-
Still, with how the terrain is set up on that demo board, I can't imagine you'd ever use/need 30" range

Ulric is now (probably) Ursricht -Godbeast and ancestral figure of the Astral Templars stormhost. Same goes for Myrmidia (Tempest Lords) and Morr (now Morrda - Anvils of the Heldenhammer). Even Runefang swords became a spiritual being that are revered by Celestial Vindicators. And IIRC Hallowed Knights worship Sigmar but they also revere a Silver saint -spirit associated with lakes (Lileath reincarnated?)
I will have to go back and read those stormhosts in full then oops!!
The Hallowed Knight lore is "Since Alarielle gave her blessing to the Hallowed Knights during the Realmgate Wars, there has been talk of a glowing figure sighted in and around their foremost Stormkeeps. Known only as the Silvered Saint, this androgynous, feather-winged being appears in reflections and even bodies of water to lend its blessing to those afflicted by doubt in times of great need."
Warhammer wikia says Lileath "granted the last of her ebbing divinity to her daughter, before sending both her and Araloth forth into a new world of her own creation " so I don't think they are the same being, but it also doesn't outright say Lileath died--whether this is because it's incomplete or not I don't know. However it seems more likely we'll see Lileath's daughter instead.
Not sure if I'd want that Silvered Saint to be a World That Was hero-turned-(demi)god, or a new demigod entirely

Stormcast models for Warcry were confirmed https://ageofsigmar.com/warcry/
I wish we were able to use Prosecutors instead of Longstrikes
especially since I expect LOS to be more limited. They feel like overkill for a small skirmish game. I get why they didn't give us Palladors though.

Thanks to the 4th ed WarHammer Fantasy Role-Play game I've been thinking about some Old World stuff. I didn't know anything about the Warhammer Fantasy stuff since I got into Tabletop games with Age of Sigmar and hadn't bother to look much into the past lore, until now.
So, Sigmar survived the End Times and went on to shape the Mortal Realms. But what about the rest of the Gods? What happened to them?
I mean they are Gods, they can't really die... and others ascended to godhood. Morr wouldn't be happy to just let Nagash take his place. Same with Rhya and Allariel...
Could they come back? Are they trapped somewhere? Did they splinter off to another Reality?
Did you post this on reddit too? 😝
The Winds of magic infused with a bunch of the Heroes, who are now the new Gods in AOS. There's an End Times synopsis on the warhammer fanwiki that is? ongoing? but it's a bit spotty and sometimes not coherent. The ending parts about the Winds of Magic splitting out of the Vortex were good to know for AOS though.
I don't recall what happened to Ulric, but if he DID survive we can expect wolf humans for free peoples perhaps

But you get GRYPH HOUNDS how can that be disappointing? I mean I guess it could be if you were thinking on taking other models, but darn it what beats a fearsome ferocious pack of gryph hounds?
the 3 from SC Vanguard are now useful as a unit 😅

Dispointed with Stormcast choices.
Oh well.
lore-wise it makes sense, though I'd guess the only reason Deepkin can use eels is because their range is so limited... otherwise cavalry doesn't make any sense to include. Kinda wish we got prosecutors instead of longstrikes

it struck me that they show a greater and weirder diversity of mortal forces in the chaos hordes than we ever saw on the tabletop
this is also my biggest issue with 40k... you have armies upon armies of traitor legion and demons, but no traitor guard models? there's not even that many CSM and they can't make more!

I've been looking over this, but other than the Campaign rules mentioning quests for non-Chaos warbands, what makes you think this is the case?
Having specific Order vs Chaos and Destro vs Chaos dioramas on the pages for narrative play, maybe I read too much into that though. It does feel like they'd be better off fleshing out all the rules for the 6 Chaos members before going fully into other warbands for competitive/matched play.
-
from that album of leaked pages, it looks like non-Chaos warbands will be allowed first in Narrative/Open play only? I can't say I mind that, if we can only use specific existing units.
-
Before Cypher released it would have been Splintered Fang no contest. But I really love how their design is like a Slaaneshi-Tzeentch fusion, so they take 1st for me! Now after SF is corvus because it reminds me of the zealot healers from Warhammer Online
and corvids are my favorite birds too
Honestly, the fact that GW has made a diehard non-Chaos player want THREE warbands of Chaos minis at all is a testament to these designs...

We had evocators last time, so season 3 - no Stormcasts sadly. As for chaos gods Slanesh is more fitting to Shadespire setting. Previously, we had one Chaos god each time, however, there were two Chaos warbands released each season, so maybe we will get both?
My bet on the starter set is new death (Katophranes) vs beasty elves.
I think the next stormcast warband will probably be for whatever chamber is opened next, but that probably won't be season 3

Thx for the answer, but there is an official source i can show at my local group? They want it =/
if they are badgering you for that rule tell them to look it up in the Azyr app

Why do you assume we must be getting hysh aelves? Really hoping for a Wanderers update.
ah mostly because that's what has been mentioned for the past couple pages, but that might be my brain stuck in Warcry... Wanderers would be cool, but I think GW would do something with Hysh (Teclis or Tyrion) before Wanderers. Sylvaneth already cover the tree vibe, and we still have yet to see the twins or Malerion

That simbol or drawing on his clothes are the same as a rumor engine so Aelfs coming
Looks more like Wanderers than Hysh Aelves though... Or Harlequin-esque even. Very intriguing, where is this from?

You are right but that is not a bad thing. If you look at the graph of the GW shares they almost flat lined for a looong period of time until 2017. If it went on like that chances are our beloved game would have died. So I guess the bottom line is: there is no free cake. If you want awesome minis and good lore and a lot of support for rules etc someone has to pay the bills. And lets be honest, yes its not cheap. But its not like "I have to sell my kidney" kind of expensive. If you spend like a hundred Euros (or Dollars, I am not familiar with the prices of Minis in the US) you get a ton of stuff to paint and can afterwards play with the minis forever. I got my SCE (3000 P atm) for less then 300 € via Forums and ebay and I will need probably the rest of the year to finish painting them. Add like 200 € for paints and supplies and you have a spending of 500 Euros for at least a year of hobby. That's not to bad.
you buying secondhand doesn't give GW money? And most models still need to be painted, which all of those tools and pots can definitely add up.
sure it's not a cheap hobby, and few are, but telling people to "just buy secondhand" is basically asking for Warhammer stores to close. That isn't sustainable

where are y'all seeing these points and rule changes? Neither Forbidden Power or GHB linked here have the points or savage strike errata

When you have abilities with the same timing then the player whose turn is taking place resolves all their effects first (in whatever order they want, as long as they all activate at the same time) then the other player resolves their effects.
Skullcrushers would get to deal their mortal wounds before the Raptors.
you'd think the crossbows would shoot first...
