This Nurgle list started out as a silly idea, and probably should have remained as such. I don’t know though. Is it enough for a Nurgle army to simply endure and grind and spread disease?

Here’s my long planned and finally executed female Lord Celestant conversion for my Sacrosanct themed Stormcast. I’ll also be using her as my Vandus Hammerhand (Vandessa Bladehand?) It was made using the Astreia Solbright body on Vandus’s Dracoth along with a load of other Stormcast spares and a Dark aelf banner. The hardest part was removing the Vandus legs. She has a little “Servo Skull” friend to take the reigns whilst she delivers righteous wrath!

Good points! Thanks for that. Yes I went to Mancunian Carnage last weekend and Purple Suns were pretty prevalent- about half the armies there have them although I was lucky enough not to face one. Battle regiment is definitely a good shout to reduce the drops too. I have a Knight incantor painted so that won’t be a problem.

No I don’t have 3 more Cats unfortunately- I don’t think I could finish them in time either- the last ones took me ages! I’ll definitely think about it though - would you say they are better than normal Evos? Battlemage sounds interesting. What does he do? what kind of list are you taking? See you there!

Hey guys what do you think of this list? I’m desperate for a semi-competitive Sacrosanct themed list for Facehammer GT in six weeks and I think this is the Strongest I can come up with from the models I have painted. It basically revolves around a Lauchon Evo-bomb to get them up close, whilst Vandus buffs the Sequitors. It also has movement options with Translocation. I just just want an army that can kill things! Suggestions welcome, I still have time to paint a couple of things. Let’s talk about Seqs…and Evos

I’m going to the Facehammer GT 2021 and unfortunately the new Stormcast book will not be out in time so I will be playing with my Stormcast army for the first time in 3.0 with the old book. I’m looking for advice on my list and what Subfaction to choose (or Staunch Defender!) Tempest Lords look good because of the command point generation and so many ways to spend them in 3.0. Also Astral Templars +1 to hit against monsters army wide may be good in the current meta. What would you choose? Can’t decide on what to spend last 260 pts on. I was thinking either 5 Evocators on foot OR another Ballista and a Knight Incantor. Which would you choose? My list is - Lord Arcanum on G Charger, Lord Ordinator, K-Azyros, 3 x 5 Sequitors, 3 Evocators on Dracolines, 3 x Ballistas , Bastiladon with Solar Engine. I know the Bastiladon is an odd choice but it’s a conversion and it is there as a centrepiece as much as anything else. So a last hurrah for the AoS 2.0 Stormcast book! I’m thinking spam ballistas may be the only way to give me a fighting chance of winning a couple of games through dumb luck. Always outnumbered, never outgunned!

I’d guess by this “gravely disappointed” pun that we will see a Soulblight Grave Lords reveal.

I’m personally looking forward to the game as much as the models, but if you only want the models you can buy the game and sell the box and the contents on eBay. You’ll get a decent price, especially if you wait until the game is out of print. I recently sold Shadows over Hammerhal with no miniatures for £60.

Here’s a rumour I heard on Twitter and it’s a slightly disappointing one because I hoped it would be sooner - Cursed City is up for pre-order on the 3rd of April.

So has anyone got any rumours?

I noticed yesterday that Just Play Games tweeted an expression of interest form so they could get a rough idea of how many Cursed City boxes they should order for sale. Hopefully a suggestion that preorder day is soon!

Oh yeah, I've just checked and its gone. You can still see it in retweets though. I retweeted it @SirPercivael They must have been told no, or its too early by GW. Perhaps GW want to get more announcements (or their own unboxing) in first.

Nah I think it’s almost definitely coming out in March. Element games are promising previews of the box on social media this week . If an independent store are saying this then I assume they have at least a promotional copy in hand and full release is imminent- I reckon preorders on the 13th March. As for the novel, I’m sure someone had an image saying it was coming in March but I can’t remember we’re I saw it possibly Twitter but taken from Facebook. And I agree it probably will be an existing model provided for a bit of fun as a hero card in the novel. But I still think Kritza will be available to use in Cursed City or else why link him so much to Ulfenkarn in his back story? Perhaps he will be the first expansion?

I think Kritza is for Soulblight as it mentions a bloodline, but I think he might be usable as an adventurer in Cursed City. His connections to the Ulfenkarn are just too strong. He certainly has a bone to pick with Radukar! He might even be the mysterious hero card in the Cursed City Novel!

Oh yes! That would suggest Nighthaunt and Crypt Ghoul like creatures respectively. I would love to see the Ulfenkarn take on “Carrion Horrors”!

The other option is, if there is any truth in the 300 USD price point, is that this price is for a luxury limited edition version, that includes hard back, gilt edged rule book and adventure book, perhaps dashboard-like character cards, coin’s instead of tokens, marbled dice etc. If that’s true, then I’m still all in!

There’s a rumour doing the rounds in the board game/wargame YouTube community that cursed city will cost 300 USD over £200. While this seems a lot I know GW wouldn’t price it that much if there wasn’t more to it than a usual boxed game. So this has got me speculating. We’ve seen a large city map, could Cursed City have a campaign map role playing element, like Games such as Misthaven? Could we see 3D scenery? Will it be tons of miniatures or a combo of all 3? I personally don’t mind paying that much as I know the content will reflect the price. That said it could just be a rumour as that is quite an unusual price point for GW!

Yep that’s what I thought. It’s hilarious that the trailer makes a big fuss of the warscroll cards being in...the...box and then they’re not in the box at all! Obviously a mistake. Oh well those other cards with spells and traits on etc. are really nice and probably exclusive to the box. Anything that makes gaming smoother is a bonus.

So the warscroll cards, are they in the box or not?

So only 2 generic heroes who can take items/traits? That is a little disappointing and to be honest a bit odd. Unless, UNLESS all characters can take items and traits in Lumineth armies!

That’s a good idea. I actually like the Sphinx face. What I’d really like is another warscroll. A Generic combat/magic hero that can become a suitably impressive centrepiece for the army without having to take a special character like Teclis. The Teclis kit could possibly do this.

So, unless GW are keeping a colossal secret, it seems we’ve seen all the kits for the Lumineth. All the articles, art work and photos would suggest that. Whilst this is relatively disappointing, we still have some of the most gorgeous rank and file in the whole of age of Sigmar. My favourites being the classic medieval fantasy tropes of archer, spearman and cavalry. I do have one last hope however, that the Teclis kit will have multi build options including a martial Prince riding upon a giant Hyshian Griffon. It would only take a head swap and a rider. Now that I would love.

Yeah I tend to lose every game anyway! Maybe this way I’ll have some miniatures left on the table by turn 4! But yeah You’re right.

Yeah! I know death star units have fallen out if favour recently, but I do believe that large units of Blightkings are looking pretty tasty in the current meta. Like you say, larger units mean more immovable Kings getting buffed. As for painting I have 25 done with another 5 on the way. It is a lot to paint though, so I don’t know if this list will ever see the light of day! I’ve got a version of this list with 30 total Kings and Rotigus which will have to do if that’s all I have by the time of my next tournament in July.

Definitely! And there’s a couple of Gargants skulls knocking round in kits to make a head. Could be a partially exposed skull to make it particularly zombie like. The Kraken Eater might work well thematically with this - a huge rotting hulk rising out of the bay to terrorise the coast! Think the undead seamen in The Fog!
