Considering that 9th is the BIG thing upcoming I would imagine that they will keep pushing the psychic awakening books until they and 9th are launched then we get our moment to shine, so I would think the lumineth will be August at the earliest as bad as that would be.

The stonemage has taken a bit of a backseat in the artwork I agree, and I do also agree that Almighty blow could refer to an aura like buff, if that was the case though it does mean the stoneage will have to get somewhat close still so it could buff the unit. still, I just thought it worth putting forward my line of thinking as if it was a hybrid hero it would mean the lumineth have 1 full caster in the Scinari, 1 full melee mosnter in the spirit of thre mountain and then the stonemage acting as the hybrid creating a much better hero balance and matching the way the named heroes are being presented, Teclis full mage, Alavalnor as pure melee and Eltharion described as a hybrid.

I think the stonemage could be like the vampire lord as a hybrid fighter/caster as in the battle report the stonemage was the general with the command ability "almighty blow". Not the title of a command ability for hanging back away from a fight.

I guess we will have to wait another week minimum for more infomation. Come on gdubs throw us a bone here.

I was planning on making a rider on a japanese Itsumade using the flamespye pheonix as a baseline, but thanks for the enourangement, I will have another look on things like shapeways or other 3d sites to find a basic mask then get to work with the greenstuff.

thanks for the reply, that just makes your whole project even better. Welp, I will need lots of practice if I want to do my conversion idea now. back to the drawing board.

I have to ask, where did you get the mask from, as I have my own idea for a conversion of an alarith spirit but don't know where to obtain the mask.

Oh that power combo of Teclis and Alarielle would be painful. but I agree sylvaneth would be a wonderful choice. and give me a reason to buy some after I picked up the book then ignored it.

As order we should get stormcast, and cities of sigmar, and in the storyline teclis and morathi were talking so we may also get daughters of khaine. I don't think we will get idoneth just due to the antagonasim between the clash of identites. we may also get seraphon but I don't think anything else realy fits.

Well the sisters one was around that price range, so it it seems about right. even so, I still think its too early for them to release it so I don't think it will go up for order anytime in May.

I found this on the warhammer community page in the Ultimate artisans article on the lumineth, so it was released after they showed the stoneguard off in the reveal video, so I would suspect it may be a 1 per box style arrangement.

the warcry rules were spoiled back on page 84 but they have since been deleted by the server. however the sidebar of the white dwarf article is viewable at https://spikeybits.com/2020/05/teclis-lumineth-realm-lord-rules-teasers-spotted.html

Not a problem, I think we all feel this frustration slightly about the faction. but at least what we have is cool, and besides, we can always convert what we want.

It's possible they wanted to break away from the sterotype slightly, since the Asur were always associated with the sword, from the sword of khaine, to sunfang and the fangsword and ultimately as these are not Asur they also wanted to break the weapon mould hence they have two types of hammer?

I'm looking forward to giving the book a read, just like Court of the Blind King I want it to expand further about the every day society of the lumineth and the roles of the various castes. And it helps the artwork is gorgeous.

looking through the core rules, you can, technicaly declare ANY model to be your general, "you see that spearman at the back of the unit of 30? yeah that one, he is my general." albiet you do sacrifice command traits. Just a thought.

Oh, I would be overjoyed to be proven wrong on this matter, but for the moment I will hold my horses and be content with what I can see at the moment. I do think you are right though, there must be at least one more kit but I am ok if there is not

I do now think that yes, there is nothing left to be seen within the range. the list of units for warcry sealed that IMO. still, i'm not dissapointed with what we have, I may just need to rewrite the backstory for my army and main characters.

lots of names there that look very interesting, my kudos to the person who got the WD ahead of time.

I know, thats why I was as disapointed as I was when I saw the army list. yet something in that image within the red circle at the back does look fundementaly different to what we have already seen.

There was an image on P77 of this forum from the white dwarf that showed a lumineth battleline against slaves and there was a very bizzare white shape that looked like a helmet and some pennants that did not match anything we were shown so far. (on the image it was behind Eltharion) thats my basis on there being at least 1 more unit but I could be wrong.

Interesting, 220pts is reasonable through considering everything we have seen for eltharion. In fact the points seem average in terms of what the unit does and how much it costs. I finally worked out what was bugging me about this image, and having seen the larger version on reddit (copy below) its the lack of anything new, and even no endless spells for us to puzzle over. oh well.

By my reckoning we have seen around 2/3rds of the lumineth range to date, with the endless spells this week, and possibly some more heroes I think we will have the complete range. There definitely seems to be at least 1-2 hidden things if the white dwarf image (as low quality as it is) is anything to go by.

To me tyrion embodied all that a warrior should be, the paragon of battle and chivalry, and that's why I always liked him since he embodied the ideals that I myself aspire too. The end times gave him the fall of a paragon and broke his spirit, I feel they missed the redemption opportunity however when they brought him back to life in book 5 as they never delved into detail about tyrion after his resurrection. That was their biggest missed opportunity IMO. And I suspect you are right with your first question koradrel. By making sigmar the paragon of the setting tyrion has no place at the moment and needs re-defining to fit the new world. Looking through all my favourite characters I seem to have a preference for the knightly paragon, from prince tyrion, to artoria pendragon and aragon, I do seem to prefer the noble paragon. I blame reading le morte de arthur so much.
