    AoS 3 New Rules Discussion

    in Age of Sigmar Discussions

    Posted

    I don't get why people hate Lumineth so much....?

    Sure the rules could do with a little tweaking 'here and there'...

    But their beautiful figures with exquisite Lore and inspiring stories about them..

    Surely a 'bad general blames the rulebook ' applies here and it's up to the opposing player to use all their cunning, ingenuity and luck to beat them.....?

    Remember 'The greater the odds the greater the glory' and if a General is truly worth his/her 'Salt' they will prevail...

    Ok....I've 'finally ' been bitten by the Lumineth Bug........am excited about these models!!!

    Can anyone recommend the best sure fire way to start collecting a reasonable size fighting force......??

    (Bear in mind I've been struggling throughout 'Lockdown ' 1-3 to paint 80 Dryads for a Sylvaneth Army....)

    Is anyone still holding out hope (against hope) that there is more to reveal.......?

    I was still hoping for a dragon/Phoenix thingy ridden be Tyrion or something.......?

    I'm trying to be positive about this though: Eltharion is very cool and that whole Starter box is something I would invest in....

    The Mountain Spirit is very cool and I can get used to the "Cow Elves' (given the right luck of paint).

    Even Teclis is ok and can grow on me with time......

    I can't help but wish they'd revealed more of the other 'elementals'.....

    There's just a slight bitter aftertaste after all the hype, but it's better than no High Elves - right?

    I just need to swallow it and move on....

    Don't know how on topic it is, but I think I already pinned down a future Armies on Parade piece of terrain and setting for this army:

    https://www.hirstarts.com/temple/temple.html

    I don't know how big or how much of my 2X2 square this would take up, but I think it's worthy to try and make something awesome out of it. The Temple floor may be a bit barren, or I might try to get my hands on a Recast model of the OOP teclis to make a statue, but I can imagine my lumineth army defending this temple from  an army of Skeletons I have laying around, and I'm thinking this may be fun to try.

     

    I'm also thinking of Designing the temple floor with The Symbol of Hysh if I can get that down by that time.

     

     

    Sounds intriguing! How are you going to make it less Roman and more Aelven.....?

    Just out of curiosity, as I'm quite new to AoS and know very little about 'Adepticon'..... 

    When it 'has' been on, how big have GW's reveals been, historically speaking......? 

    I'm just trying to get a gauge on how likely it is that Games Workshop could have something 'huge' still to reveal next Saturday ..... Or not....?

    I get why many People are all shook up by this reveal...... I am too.  These aren't High Elves anymore, their :Lumina Realm Lords'..... "" change isn't real change unless it hurts.... 

    People care about this Faction, that's why they've gotten a bit riled up - it feels like such a departure from the High Elves of old..... 

    Just to clarify, I love the 'Lore', so far, of the Mountain ⛰, the Shamanic stuff is close to my heart and also aligns nicely with my Sylvaneth.... 

    I think I kinda like the big Mountain Bull (?) "Spirits too - I could see them marching with my Tree Lords quite nicely..... 😁 

    I'm not overly impressed with the Bull helmeted Elves, I think they look a bit silly.... 

    I'm not overly impressed with the hammer wielding Elves, as some stated earlier 'It's unbecoming of Elves...' 

    I wonder what the next Reveal will be; Zenith 'Dragon - Phoenixy-thing' would be fantastic!  😜

    On another level..... 

    I understand that Lumineth Realm Lords, in a previous incarnation were devoured by Slanesh and resided, ahem, down-under for a while.....? 

    Since then, Teclis  has re-formed, re-moulded, re-shaped these souls into forms mist pleasing to him akin to the High Elves of okd.... 

    My point, or enquiry, if you will, is how much (if any,) do you feel this unholy legacy will affect the LRL's in both ordinary existence and in battle....? 

    Even if its only residual, will they still be affected by the presence of Chaos, especially Slaneshi magic, will they still feel 'a pull' in the presence of a Slaneshi Greater Demon.....? 

    Id love to know what you think and how this will affect their 'Lore'.....?

    I think that, once again, the absence of dragon anything is really worrying at this point. They would have dropped at least a hint by now surely? 

    I'm starting to think that Malerion is going to be the Dragon focused faction at this point whilst Lumineth focus on fantastical beasts. Assuming that is at least a year away I might have to look into another faction to play. Kharadons and Bonereapers are looking appealing right now haha.

    2 weeks though friends! After then we can all vent at that point.

    Yes, hopes for my "Dragon - inspired - knights ' are looking a bit forlorn now....

    Great to hear that. : ) . Because I would have been really sad if I wouldn't have liked the Lumineth after waiting that long. I'm also thinking about something with silver. But then the one "Zenith Spearman" art with the gold/purple scheme looked great, so I have to see. 

    This scheme might also look really good on them: 

     

    Wow! That colour scheme is really something....

    As some one who dearly loved my High Elves of old, I still really like everything we've seen so far.  While they're starting to show their new identity, especially the Stonemage, everything we've seen so far still really captures the spirit of the Asur of old.

    On the subject of the paint job, I think their biggest flaw was they kept it a little too bland.  I think you could make the current scheme work still, there just needs to be an additional color of two to make the scheme pop!

    I agree with you.... The Stone Mage is excellent.

    I particularly love the "Eltharion" Spirit also... 

    Once I own these miniatures and paint them, I doubt whether the details will matter so much....
