Im torn on what to get. I love the Slaanesh release but the ulfenkarn game looks awesome too. Gotta think about what I will spend my time and money on. I’m thinking the ulfenkarn game will give me more diversity in models to paint and I even think my husband might want to try the game. but looking at sigvald in 360... he is even better then I thought. And still isn’t covering his ass I see. Would love to paint him, all that cloth and NMM is exactly what I love to paint.

Lovely work. I’m a sucker for projects with S good and somewhat dark theme. Also love the muted color scheme. The dogs with the antlers are a great idea, works really well.

Another cool army concept and great execution. The first conversion with the eltharion helmet is my favorite. It’s plogs I love to see.

It would be disappointing if the boss isn’t in the main game. Expansions are nice, but I want the core came to feel like a complete story. Expensions could explore the city/setting further, but I’d hate it if you have to get the expansions to complete the main narrative. expansions should, IMO, be used to add fun stuff and maybe some things that have been in lore but never a model. Like the ambull and lizard-centaur-alien for 40k.

These are awesome sculpts! Also, the pattern in the stone Pilar on the base can be seen in several rumour engines. Which probably confirms they belong to this game. Allthough that is hardly surprising.

Ah right, it was araby

There was a Cathay army in warmaster I think? very nice trailer. I don’t play the game but I had looked at the concept art for TW2 so much, so really looking forward to the concept art for this game!

So new Slaanesh art posted on instagram, does that mean we’ll see some Slaanesh articles on the community leading up to the release? the new rumour engine looks fun. Could be shields mashed together like some destruction factions like to do, but it seems more deliberate. Some fascinating shapes. I could see this be dwarves, but could also be something for the quest game or something 40k. Intriguing

The white dwarf thing seems like it might be the start of the BR teclis book. I feel like Teclis went to Shyish to spark a rebellion of sorts in shyish, breaking of Nagash’s total dominion over his realm, in a way. this probably isn’t the whole plot of the Teclis book. i don’t doubt however the plot will be revealed online anyway. I didn’t read Morathi and I feel like I know every little thing that went in in that book.

Thanks for this thread @kramer. I feel the same about the negativity, that seems to grow. Between the toxicity about the faqs and every cool new mini getting a lot of responses in the vein of ‘but what about my army that needs cool models’ I can really use some happy thoughts. I agree it is valid to be critical, but it looks like the criticism is getting the upper hand over the joy the hobby brings. Like you I’m in the Netherlands under lockdown. And as an art teacher having to work from behind a screen is not much fun... I’m still excited about the upcoming Slaaneshi release, planning g to do a small force with some really bright colors. The vampire quest game also seems awesome, and I’ll probably get it when it comes out. I find small painting projects like a warband for underworlds or a single model keeps me very entertained. Besides that I’m also enjoying sculpting scenery and models for 3D printing. in the previous lockdown I entered several online painting/converting contests (one here on tga). That was a lot of fun. Does anyone know about online painting competitions right now? Maybe we should have one on tga again. Even without prices.

In the excellent studio thinking film ‘spirited away’ there is a white dragon who is the embodiment of a specific river. I thought it is already talked about in the Lumineth armybook that the spirefall is what brought on the age of chaos in Hysh. I don’t think you can completely blame that era on one race.

Just to bring a positive note to all this faq discussion: GW did do some rules for solo games you can play in lockdown. So they did do something rulewise, only not for te game which most people can’t play right now anyway. I’m not invested in the faq discussion, because I’m just in the hobby for the painting and building/converting. And I understand the frustration. But I also like this forum to be mostly positive.

Does anyone has any idea why nurgle is in the teclis book? I mean, more then just speculation?

It is no so much about saving up, as it is about convincing my significant other I really need more models😛

This was a good week leading up to the previews of today. There is a lot of cool stuff coming. When Lumineth first were released they suggested it would be a massive release, but ended up just ‘normal’ in size. This second wave really makes te lumineth an army with a lot of choice. The second wave in itself is already big, with lots of characters and several new units. the only problem I have with these teasers is that I am now more excited for more elves and the amazing new quest game, while Slaanesh is coming very soon and I was very excited about them. did they talk about when the new broken realms and the quest game will be released?

just checked the warhammer quest vid. There are some kind of zombies carrying stumps of trees on their backs. I'm sure someone will post screenshots soon:P

The new warhammer quest looks awesome. Combined with UW vampires that is a lot of undead goodness. Looking forward to painting some of them. I’m thinking quest might be the intro to a new undead army. Like with silver tower and Tzeentch? also an insane amount of new Lumineth models. The swordmasters look cool. What did they say about release dates?

Really cool animation. Interested to see if there will also be swordmasters (with actually nice looking helmets). If we get all these new Lumineth models then it no longer feels as if they overstated the amount of models there would be for Lumineth. but, I’m a little worried the release of Slaanesh or the birth of the newborn won’t be much more then a two page piece of fluff. The Slaanesh arc has been going on since day one of AoS. It needs to be a BIG event.

The seer making the prophecy sounds like a tzeentchian chaos mage to me. That might be of some importance? the earth will tear refers to the new vampire force I think, if there is one. didn’t Tzeentch aid the elves in some way in capturing Slaanesh? That might have something to do with Tzeentch’s riddle and the ‘borne anew’ cool story on all accounts.

I didn't have anyone particular in mind with my post. I also like to remind myself that a lot of people in this community don't have English as their native tongue, and without the non-verbal communication it is easy to misunderstand each other. another reason to be kind.

I've been pondering on this subject for a couple af days. When AoS hit I was disappointed in the way the 'old world' was discarded. but in time I started to like AoS. I thought to myself, "when they do an AoS version of high elves I'll go all in". So when Lumineth were announced I was really excited. I think GW did just that, 'Aosify' the high elves. The lore suggests there was a great civil war, as if these Lumineth have a similar history like the high elves but moved on beyond the dark/high elf divide. The elements and eastern enlightenment idea is also nice and I think some of the models are spectacular. the dawnriders in particular. I bought a box of Alarith, but I soon realised they just didn't feel like high elves to me. So I decided they are not for me just now. Because I don't want to spend time and money on something that doesn't excite me enough. instead I'll keep my focus on painting models I do love and on my Slaanesh projects, which are a real Aos project to me. However, I feel funny about this thread. I gotta say it is starting to annoy me how sometimes people who like a certain army have to defend themselves for liking it. As if some armies can be objectively 'worse' than others, and you have to explain yourself for liking it. I've noticed this with several releases now. A new model or range of models gets released, and people start to discuss them. But very soon it turns into complaining about why another another army didn't get these kind of models. Or why does this army get new models already, when another army is clearly in need of models a lot more. for example, after the new Slaanesh models were revealed, some Tzeentch players started to complain they don't have any 'god specific Chosen tier warriors'. To me, critique on models too often turns into an attack on those who are happy with the release or like the models. In the end, we don't have any influence on what GW releases, so what is the point in being angry with the releases.

Nice teases all around. The palanquin had some cool characters in there although the chariot/palanquin feels a bit chunky to me. I do really like the lore, a Slaanesh lord who wants to taste everything. Great that it focuses on such an aspect of Slaanesh. gotta say, I’m excited for things to come. So the teaser worked😊

@Overread great post! this broken realms book has got me very enthousiastic about the Daughters of khaine. I got the underworlds warband to paint to channel that feeling into something creative. The city that was overtaken and is now essentially filled with a classic dark elf army is so cool, If I had all the time in the world I’d start a full dark elf force. It also feels good that this book wasn’t followed up by the next installment to quickly. This way we can really appreciate the lore and do something with it, hobby-wise.

The Horus heresy is a rally extensive set of books right? So could be they’re will be new novels for the old world. gotta say I’m really happy that high elves are mentioned on the map. Curious to see where this is going. For now I’d be a lot more happy just knowing what scale it will be.

I actually hope they don't show more Slaanesh stuff, because I like something exciting to look forward to when they get releases, instead of knowing everything that is coming and simply having to wait two months... I hope that show some of the stuff teased in the advent calendar.
