I’m very interested in the magic the Lumineth get. I’m not sure if I like 100% what they are doing there. Sounds more Earthbender and shamanistic in a way so far to me. Not like what you’d expect from Hysh and the old Tower of Hoeth HE.
But we still have not much information and how Hysh, those spirits and the symbols all tie in together. Definitely interesting. Might end up to be really cool stuff.
The spells so far seem more like of the “I shoot rocks variety” than anything more sophisticated. I still hope all that more learned, mysterious, light flavored stuff will be under the zenith faction though.
The fluff in the malign sorcery relate to what we already have heard - that the Lumineth know how to harvest and use aetherstone, and that the stone is usually found in rune, or symbol like patterns, which we will here more about in the next part of the reveal.
You could be right. They don’t look anything like the Lumineth we have seen so far (with skull masks, round ears etc.), but they are slim humanoids with wings, so who knows.
After the lowdown we received, for me personally it’s hard to imagine that Tyrion is not part of the Lumineth. They write that Tyrion and Teclis both drive the actions of the Lumineth on the battlefield, so I think he will be the second center piece model. Maybe on a dragon, as that is the only central part of the former HE which we have not seen anything off yet.
I think GW might keep the angels esthetic restricted to the Stormcast Eternals.
