I see great minds think alike. I painted my lord regent with yellow eyes for that exact purpose. 😀

I have run a handful of test games against my DOK. it's pre-game move can be helpful either to capture ground with wardens or try and re-deploy to counter your opponent. The command ability to run and charge is useful to get things like stoneguard into combat faster with their 4" move. The waystone can be a get out of jail free card should a Scinari get caught in melee but it won't always work. as for the Command trait, it, ok at best. 1MW on a 2+ is fine but not winning any prizes.

I would image they are 1 wound infantry, 4+ save. hitting on 3+/2+, wounding on 3+, rend -1 damage 1 but with 3-4 attacks each. and a bonus if they charge, almost the oposite of alarith who can take a hit, these guys are more a glass cannon.

its good that the new battletome is not mandatory, as the rules are also in BR: teclis. and I agree everything looked so good. I think the swordmasters will find a good home with my force.

Shining Company requires at least 2 models from the same unit in base to base contact, to bypass that they could just have the artilery be a single base therefore unable to qualify for shining company.

I don't think everything shown today is all wind temple, only the riders, spirit and cloud-mage are linkely wind with everything else vanari.

She could be a loreseeker, the people who master both tyronic and teclian, so that is why she has 2 elemental cards.

Well we still have the underworlds warband to come, after that, perhaps the next set of releases come with "broken realms: teclis"?

If I had to guess most of the hate comes from a fairly small group who either are still attached to WFB (and whilst I cannot blame them they are taking it out on the wrong people) or those who saw the initial teasers then when the models and rules did not line up with what they imagined decried the whole thing. then there seems to be a handful who just seem to hate warhammer in general.

Whilst the Blue does pop more as there is a greater contrast between colours I do agree with @Siegfried VII the Turquoise is more likely to be unique.

I agree, sometimes it feels like GW has forgotten that a dice need to finally stop rolling (squig dice) or actually be readable without a magnifing glass (idoneth dice). It looks like this will be a 2 week release as predicted, with the majority of the Vanari this week, the Alarith should be next week with the dawnriders. Still my wallet is looking at me in dispair.

we are live, all hands to painting stations! https://www.warhammer-community.com/2020/08/30/sunday-preview-yall-ready-for-hysh/

@Nightseer2012 what you have highlighted is a writing issue that has plauged GW for years, they can write a grand cosmic scale but they seem to struggle to write a single person, almost as if they cannot see past a basic idea and motivation and then run out of steam beyond that so they just keep repeating the same thing again and again as they don't understand the hero/villians journey or how to apply it sucessfully.

I get where you come from but this was kinda the trait that makes me like Morathi (my other army is DOK), she is unrepentant, and will always do everything she can for more power, even irritate those being more powerful than her, its nice to be the villan sometimes.

That is my line of thinking also, this is very reminicent of Psychic awakening for 40k, and if so we could see lumineth vs slannesh as the next big starter kit for 3rd edition. (I wish)

If anything looking back through the previews This Image has me very scared, does this mean slannesh has returned to full power? If so I think we realm-lords will have our hands full cleaning up Morathi's mistakes.

I hope thats the case, that way the little snipits of lore will have so much payoff if done well.

It why I arranged it as I did, knowing GW they would split essential components so that way people will buy things both weeks and thus in their mind make more money.

if the release of other new armies is anything to go by I suspect we will get a staggered release over two weeks, week 1 being teclis, eltharion, wardens, sentinels and dawnriders, week 2 being cathallar, stonemage, stoneguard and mountain spirits. As for dates I would think it would be around 5th-12th or 12th-19th.

the big issue there is it's too out oc character with how he is described in the lumineth book, especialy the way his journey at the start to find teclis is described and the "being*" he met. *which I suspect is the spirit of hysh proper, instead of just it's moon.

now that would be a twist, I always thought that malerion's forces would be destruction instead of order but if Tyrion did still hold the sword of khaine it would be a good plot hook for future conflict.

well, at least it's now official that the rest of the lumineth are out in september. https://www.warhammer-community.com/2020/07/27/the-aelven-pantheon/ the small references to maleraion and mortathi indicate those two are up to something big and I suspect it will cause havoc for everyone, likley straining diplomcy even further between the lumineth and malerions shadow-kin, especialy after their little stunt with the zenith mage revealed in the battletome.

At the moment, I would imagine he has to treck manually as he seems bound to that single set of armour made by teclis, Although lumineth being superior mages they likley have teleportation spells so if teclis or a council of mages was willing it's entirley possible to just hurl eltharion through a tempory sub-dimension to reach a necessary fight elsewhere in the realms.

In the end I do agree with everything said about the paired hammers. I may still use them however, even if the mallet or pick are better, something about the aesthetic of using two hammers just strikes a nice chord with me. I may just be weird though.

if the champion takes the paired hammers they can re-roll all failed hit rolls, so the paired hammers do grant a bonus, it just depends on what you want in a unit/model, the mortals from the picks, the double damage from the mallet or the reliabiltiy to hit from the paired hammers.
