Every time I read ‘dragon princes’ my heart jumps and then sinks because they are not talking about my favorite unit of classic high elves that got me into the game, but these new guys that I have no intention of buying.

I wonder if kruleboys will get a second wave somewhere in the near future. With new models and a new armybook way to soon.
remember when Lumineth were released and really felt like an incomplete army. And then they got expanded on within a year.
if this happens for kruleboys, I wonder if they will get the same amount of negativity like Lumineth got (and sometimes still get)…

Disregarding the salted cabbage of the last few pages is anyone else a bit disappointed that stormcast get these dragons?
I'm hesitate to mention this, lest we give GW any ideas about giving lumineth more models, but traditionally warhammer dragons have been elf units.
I wouldn't have expected idoneth to get a dragon given their sea theme and their "challenging " relationship with animals. DoK, Lumineth and Malerion all seem like candidates though.
Or I would have thought they'd be a great standalone SoB style faction.
The text in the community article suggests the red dragon will be available to more armies, maybe all order forces? Or am I reading to much into it?
I think the red dragon is one of the best dragons GW had done, but it isn’t the perfect dragon. I personally do not like the scar and I would have liked them to be slightly more serpentine. As a long time high elf dragon fan it is great to see some new dragons. But I think the kruleboys won in the monster department.

Did GW discontinue some of their spray paints or is it just suffering from shortcomings? I can't find Mechanicus Standard Grey anywhere.
Where are you situated? Since brexit all spraypaints are very hard to find for me (I’m in the Netherlands). Something to do with the paint not being allowed into the EU.

So people were upset for days that they wouldn’t be able to buy the dominion box. Then everybody got the box without much problems. A few happy and positive post later people start complaining about warhammer+
can we go back to being positive?

In other news, I am quite sad about the official stance GW has taken against 3D printed conversion parts.
what is the new official stance of GW on this, I think I missed it?
as someone who sells 3D printed parts for conversions I might want to take notice of this😬 -

Its a very late reply but your elves all look great. Hope you are still making new ones.
I’m still painting and converting stuff, although I don’t have a lot of time for it. I’m also started an Etsy shop selling 3d prints, including lots of heads for elves and even complete models and units.
I post my stuff on Instagram, you can find me as Elfhead3D -

New Broken Realms story: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2021/06/11/broken-realms-fiction-premonitions/
Seems to be set during the siege of Excelsis, from BR Kragnos. Coming a bit late, clearly.
So first a short story is published, letting us know sigvald and gluttos are going to excelsis to fight. Then they don’t appear in BR Kragnos. And now we get another short story that sigvald and gluttos didn’t make it to the fight? What was the point of setting up this plot line at all? Weird.

The objectives scenery are “trappings of a Dawnbringer Crusade settlement”. Interesting these crusades are mentioned again. I wonder if this is a new ongoing narrative. Would like to see the mixed race mortals expand.

I’m really liking the new orcs. Love hoe they used the ‘red face shaped’ shields that are a classic orc trope in warhammer and gave it a new spin. They seem like a joy to paint with all the leather, trinkets and face-shields. Ik like hoe they have different proportions, wit relative long torsos and arms and shorter legs. However, those proportions also look a bit funny when mounted.
the new stormcast have some cool designs, but for the basic design I actually like the more angular, bulky designs of the sacrosanct. The face masks in particular look worse. But things like the bodyguard unit and banner bearer are very nice. Maybe one day I’ll finally paint a small stormcast force with NMM (maybe as a commission?)
the lore for the new orcs and kragnos seems pretty poor. I’ve also read the synopsis of the Kragnos book and I can’t help but feel dissapointed. So much build up, which was all great, with such dissapointing endings.
-
It’s just a review so the book may be better than it seems, but this story sounds really dissapointing. There have been a lot of sub-stories build up for a loooong time, and they end pretty anti-climactic.
the newborn was a major plot point. But now the twins are defeated because they were interested in a couple of elf souls in one city?
Gordrakk attacking excelsis was also build up for a looooong time and then gordrakk is upstaged by Kragnos. And then kragnos gets teleported away?
I’m also curious why Morathi comes to aid excelsis and how she ends up being trialed?
I’ll wait for more info and reviews, but I’m not a fan of this ‘ending’ of the story.

The new rumor engines show a lot of angular shapes. The axe, the hook and the pommel of the club/grenade alle have this design cue. The great thing about new armies is they are designed so cohesively.
the Thondia also has the thunderscorn peaks. Maybe the dragon ogors will get expanded too.

I really hope the new army doesn’t magically bring their natural habitat with them. Please no magic swamps traveling with the army, like the eathersea of everwinter.
spores of dying greenskins infesting the land could be nice though. We already saw some nice lore about the botanical nature of greenskins.-

I see they changed the look of the rumor engine again?
-
In that little trailer at the end it featured normal human soldiers. I’m hoping they get some new model too.

After all the underworld warbands are released, I would love it if they release the dread pageant separate from the starter kit.

For real. I've been waiting to dive into AoS for Malerion. I keep thinking they will be "soon". I keep being wrong.
Unfortunately, AoS is a little to expensive for me to dive into an army for fun. I'm going to keep waiting for the one I really want. I have $900 of hobby money saved up. I fear blowing it on Hedonites now and then Malerion coming out later in the year.
Slaanesh is really tempting though.. stupid sexy Slaanesh.For a long time I thought I would dive all in when they finally did AoS high elves. Then it happened and I realized the Lumineth didn’t give me the same jou as classic high elves did. Don’t wait for something that might happen. It might not turn out to be what you hoped for.

Lovely model. I am, and always have been a sucker for floating poses. Funny that the spite is creeping out of some kind of a flower, whilst I thought it was an egg in the rumor engine.
-
I hope that keep kragnos until the book is actually released. Call me crazy, but I like to have something to look forward to.

Those new daemons are insane, the peacock thing and all those arms and the flying pose... just fantastic. And I really like that the slaanesh story continues in the BR books. The newborn was a massive thing, but the story hasn’t evolved beyond it’s appearance. While Slaanesh being trapped and getting free (partially) is a story that had been going on since the very beginning of AoS.

This new kroak is absolutely amazing. Another big and gorgeous model released with the broken realms. And for me it completely came out of nowhere.
although I’m not a fan of the quick pace the BR books are getting released now, with just over a month between Teclis and be’lakor, I love what they are doing with new models. This way lots of armies get new stuff, be it a single model or an entire range. With so many armies I feel like this is the way to move forward. Instead of waiting many, many years for a new battletome like with warhammer fantasy.
the only thing I would like is for a somewhat slower pace of releases and more attention for the stuff that is released. The hype for new things is great, but I would also love some continued attention when things are finally out.

In BR Morathi, she goes into the belly of slaanesh and there are still a lot of souls in there. She seems to only take interest in elf souls of Phoenix kings but there are more still in there. I’d imagine Tyrion and Teclis would want to keep extracting souls. Not only to make more Lumineth, but simply to save their kin from the horror of Slaanesh.
In the malign portents story morathi and Malerion throw a soul back in when it hisses ‘Teclis’. I always wondered who that soul could be and if it was mad at Teclis or simply recognizes his name.

I'd like to introduce you to the Fyreslayers and Kharadron Overlords. 😉
But on a more serious note, we already got the reinventions, and as Nighthaunt, Gloomspite, and Soulblight show, there's still plenty of room for classic designs in AoS. To be perfectly honest, I'd prefer Kharadron and Fyreslayers getting expansions over any new dwarf army, but if we're going to get another, then "classic" dwarfs are a niche not yet covered.
I’ve been waiting to get the AoS version of high elves since AoS hit, not a niche element of elves expanded on. The Lumineth hit and for a moment I thought that would be it. But when I painted the first Lumineth I realized they just don’t hit that same sweet spot the high elves did. I think most of the Lumineth are cool, but they are their own thing.
I would love for all the dwarf players to get their classic dwarves reinvented. But chances are people will have similar feelings.
I think the goblins and now the soulblight are examples of classic ideas brought up to level with current design levels. But that isn’t a guarantee any new dwarf army will be like that.-

When I hear bretonnian stormcast I’d imagine it more like the grail relique and peasants fighting under the golden boys. A mix of the crazy devotion to sigmar and the devotion to grail knights. Having stormcasts as the elite knights, followed by a rabble of regular humans, praising them every step of the way.

The Rumour Thread
in Age of Sigmar Discussions

The second edition was centered around death. They started strong with nighthaunt, then got nothing for a while. But during that edition death got a new army (bonereapers) and ended on a revamp of the classic vampires, skeletons and zombies. There also is the warhammer quest game ( although handled… poorly)
So there was a lot of death stuff. But also lots of other things: Slaanesh, Lumineth, etc.
I think it is reasonable to expect cool stuff for destruction, but spread out over the duration of the shields edition.
