Double Misfire

GW scalecreep trends indicate that if a new aelf faction's released anytime soon they'll be at least nipple height to a Mega-Gargant, sorry

Kemmler's already active in AoS, he's just had a Malerion style rebrand

Do we have any more info on these books yet? I want my full Mordheim Cities of Sigmar roster

Sorry mang, Dorghar will always be a horse with a smaller frame than an Empire knight's, who fit's neatly on a 25x50mm base in my heart

They all went into hibernation/migrated to WotC when Sigmar became the celestial equivalent of a very lonely person who takes photos of their cat styling Christmas jumpers and started handing out t-shirts.

He's only got little legs. Gonna take his time doing it. Aenarion's got to be Initiative 10, always strikes first, and has a thing for catching rides on dragons...

I don't think Aenarion's coming to the AoS proper, if only because the guy's a Chuck Norris meme (appropriate given his age) of efficiency, and would throw a spanner in the all important business of selling plastic toys by going round perma murdering characters with kits (look at what he did to Morathi while he was a disembodied spirit yes, the other Phoenix Kings are ineffectual sissies and it was good to see them go, especially Caledor II *spit*, but dayum son), and he'd simply get too much stuff done. 'Morathi says she wants spousal support payments for both her bodies; off to the Realm of Shadow on whatever you guys call a dragon in this weird setting to decapitate her twice' 'You didn't mention you guys had an Everchosen problem, stopped off and one shotted him with a spear on the way home' 'I don't know what orruks were, but I really enjoyed fighting them. Starting to regret doing a full genocide' I think the coolest way to do something with Aenarion's ghost would be if Tyrion, who post resurrection and cleansing of the Curse of Khaine is kind of a boring, flavorless dweeb who could do with some inner conflict, became possessed by it, spent most of his time trying to suppress murder grandpa with some serious Lumineth meditative techniques, only to take a back seat and let Aenarion go full Isle of the Dead when his back's really up against it.

@Televiper11 Nice! The Gyrocopter/bombers will go a long way towards grabbing objectives, and Tempest's Eye's probably your safest bet city-wise, speeding up the rest of your guys, though you may want to experiment with Irondrakes and the Living City. Not too sure about the Cogsmith without any artillery to support, and feel you may be better off with another Runelord, or extra (half price) Gyrocopters to fill out both your units. Unless you're totally in love with the Cogsmith model, in which case more power to you!

Store fruit long enough and it's guaranteed to go bad.

Spoiled for anyone who's not read the Inquisition War trilogy yet (if you haven't you really should):

Oh that's the End Times: Archaon tie in novel. It's full of weird Easter eggs that don't serve the story very much, and feel like forced fanservice that nobody really wanted or asked for. The main story with the Empire soldier with a bit of Ulric stuck in him, and Kanto the Unsworn, the Chaos Warrior from Road of Skulls is pretty good though.

The campaign book. I never read the novel, not sure if it's mentioned in there too, but iirc it's supposed to be about Malekith.

Here you go, from page 10 of the epub: It was once thought by the God-King Sigmar that Slaanesh had consumed the aelven race whole, and devoured their ancestral gods alongside. There is much truth to this, for during the cosmos-racking cataclysm that ended the World Before Time, the aelven race was cut down to a fraction of its former majesty. If their empires were once vast golden paradises, after the desolation only a scorched patch of grass remained. That once puissant race would never be the same, reduced to a tattered memory of its former grandeur. But there were those of that ancient people who, via the works of their former pantheon, had found a safe haven. They escaped the doom that awaited them in the gullet of Slaanesh, and reached the realmspheres intact. Through enchantments, miracles and sorcerous artifice, these aelves had made their way into the Mortal Realms without being changed or diminished in spirit. These determined survivors propagated in the hidden places of the realms, keeping away from the prying eyes of those they saw as lesser beings, and teaching their children the values, skills and cultures of their lost world. They might never have rejoined the wider civilisations of the age were it not for the coming of Sigmar, and his uniting of the deities of man, duardin and aelf in a single cause.

I did not know that, clearly only read enough of the book to get the cool Ian Watson reference, will check it out tonight, thanks!

Araloth had a pretty defined 'ending' in End Times: Khaine, it was just never followed up on

The storied hairy head sprue I've already got a lot of these, and the heads are much too small for dwarfs, even modern ones; and even if they did, Ulric is a silly, archaic god, with an inbred, fish-eyed, and downright wretched smelling congregation; and my dwarfs have way too many grudges against the armies of Middenland to ever want to style their beards like them. 😊

Hmm 🤔 What answers did you pick? May have to have a fiddle with the parameters

It's been a slow morning, so I've updated my previous 'Which City of Sigmar Should I Play?' interactive quiz with Misthåvn and Har Kuron. Check it out, feedback always welcome: https://www.doublemisfire.com/2020/11/cant-decide-which-city-of-sigmar-to.html

Broken Realms: Morathi, the first book in a series of new AoS narrative supplements is out, and brings with it two new Cities of Sigmar in Misthåvn and Har Kuron (well, one of them belongs to Sigmar, the other definitely doesn't), complete with full sets of allegiance abilities to allow you to field armies hailing from them in game. With this, and putting off the pile of work building up on my desk in mind, I've updated my previous very silly interactive quiz for anyone interested in collecting a CoS army, but unsure where it should come from with both of the new cities. I hope you enjoy. View the full article

First thought: I love them 💗 Second thought: I love them and they're perfect 💗💗💗 Third thought: Where do you live, because there are a couple of Gyrocopter propeller bits I use twice in all my converted gyrocopters, and usually have to end up buying a second gyrocopter for...

Not casting any aspersions, just haven't been paying the most attention to tie in articles, ect for this book, but could you direct me to where GW have said this? Quick skim and all I've found is the GW store page for the book (which is almost defiantly not written by different people to the ones who wrote the book's background, making authorial intent bunk) saying it contains 'The epic story of Morathi’s rise to godhood', while the Broken Realms website gives more ambiguous descriptions of 'the story of Morathi's aspirations to ascend to godhood', and Morathi herself as having a 'quest for a divine apotheosis'. Bearing in mind that GW publicity material has previously described the Dark Angels as loyalists and Slaanesh as a guy you'd want at parties.

I'm now very curious what this translates to. Have we got another Bögenhafen situation on our hands?

Right, read the book. Is Morathi even a god, or just announcing to people that she's a god? 'All' she's done has been visit the inside of Slaanesh, eat the souls of the 10 Pheonix Kings who aren't Aenarion (presumably imbued with some of Asuryan's essence, otherwise they wouldn't be especially worth eating, though they couldn't have contained all of Asuryan between them, as the Shrine of Asuryan was able to create a Pheonix King post Finubar in Malekith - if you ate every Stormcast Sigmar would still be there), get her spirit form cut in two by Aenarion because she's still horny for him, and he's ****ing Aenarion), and come back as one soul/mind in two miniatures bodies, picking up a load of very old Idoneth souls nobody really cares about on the way. After doing this, Morathi tells her followers and the Idoneth they're fighting that she's now Morathi-Khaine, and has 'bonded with the last vestiges of the Bloody-Handed God', when we the reader have seen her devour some of the last, but certainly not the last when Aenarion's soul and Malerion both still exist bits of Asuryan, unless you grasp at some very abstract straws and conclude that 'last vestiges of [Khaine]' alludes to Asuryan and Khaine being twin brothers, or to the soul of Aenarion (who's probably got more of Khaine in him than any other elf) transforming into what's clearly the Sword of Khaine to go King Solomon on her, and somehow passing on Khaine's last scrapings that way. There was also a bit of the Oak of Ages namedropped as part of the ritual, but the Oak of Ages has always been more about the scheduled rebirth of an existing god in Kurnos (who seems to be around in AoS, albeit with a different syllable at the end of his name) than the creation of new ones. In conclusion, I don't really know how it's possible to infer that all 'Morathi-Khaine's' actually done has been absorb probably less than 1% of the essence of Asuryan, a dead god who isn't Khaine, not finish what she'd Fantastic Voyage'd Slaanesh to do (whether just eat Aenarion's soul, or eat Aenarion's soul and more), and wake up back in Uglu with a bit of divinity, but not very much, and both her previous looks at the same time. It's nice to imagine that she never had a clue how to become a god, and subconsciously went to all this trouble because she wanted to see Aenarion for a bit, only for the first and greatest of the Pheonix Kings to be repulsed and enraged enough at the site of her to chop her up.
