    Aos 2 - Lumineth Realm-Lords Discussion

    in Lumineth Realm-Lords

    Hi all.

    So I’ve got a decent selection of models now for Lumineth and I wasn’t sure if I need to get anymore? I have:

    1 x Teclis

    1 x Moontain

    1 x stonemage 

    1 x Cathallar 

    1 x Eltharion

    2 x Wardens

    2 x Sentinels 

    2 x Stoneguard

    2 x Dawnriders

    im not sure if I need anything else for an army? I got one of everything for painting.

     

    also what paint scheme should I go for? I like the box art one especially the hurakan stuff on the way with the blue and yellow. I’m just unsure with the way to paint them as I can only use an airbrush to paint them as I live in a flat and I can’t find an alternative to wraithbone for an air primer.

    Correct with the phoenixes, and the Lord Regent is an example of a character with a Tyrionic mindset in the Battletome. The  Vanari as such are present on both sides though, so Teclian nations also have Lord Regents. They phoenixes are probably more their personal emblems.

    But, it’s also possible we see a character from a Tyrionic nation. I just doubt it alone from a rules perspective. If he has a Tyrionic keyword, if they then don’t also show the rules for the whole nation, the character could be subpar. Let’s see : ) 

    Hmm very interesting maybe the blademasters will be a tyrionic unit? There’s quite a lot hidden away in that video so it’s exciting to find out. Hopefully we hear in the next few weeks.

    Then your dad’s the wise one, not me 😅

     I guess the names character is still from the Teclian side (because of the BR Teclis plot), but would be really interesting if it was actually our first character from the Tyrionic side! 

    Hah questionable he got me into it when he brought the age of Sigmar starter set years ago. 
     

    hmm it’s possible I just think of red and Phoenixs with the helmet silhouette to all resemble Tyrion as I see Tyrion red and teclis as blue. I’m not a lore bank though.

    I wish I knew (or maybe not, lol), but there are three sources we can get some ideas from:

    a) LRL Battletome: Some of the new units are already mentioned in the Battletome: Lord Regent, 3 Wind Temple units, and maybe the Loreseeker, Bolt Thrower, Marshal, Herald or Mage/Sorcerer, depending on what the shadows we have seen turn out to be. There are still things like knights, charioteers, and the aforementioned scouts in the tome, as well as a few hints about the Sun Spirit, River and Zenith units. There are also hints about phoenixes/dragons in there. 

    b) Former HE units: We see that they pretty much bring back a lot of the old HE range in new form and add some things (elementals). What’s missing? All the flyers, heavy knights, charioteers, foot skirmisher and some others, again depending on what those shadows turn out to be.

    c) Current models: all the Vanari units show symbols of things we haven’t seen yet, some of the masks on the Warden chest plates, all the fire and phoenix symbols etc. 

    I don’t know if we get them all of course, but I think they have at least room for one more big release. 

    Thank you wise one I honestly wish I knew as much knowledge as you. My only experience of the old world is walking into the Warhammer shop with my dad pointing out dinosaur people, my dad seeing the price and walking out 😂

    I think that this second wave of models was made or at least in the works when it was written as it seems all those shadows match up nicely. Would be cool to see it fleshed out even further however I’d also like pre existing factions to get that love more. 
     

    despite lore I’m curious as to what the lord regents named character version will be, it’s a similar build with red cloth and a Phoenix emblem on the shield and a tyrionic looking helmet so I’m curious if they’d make that Tyrion or a character from his side. 
     

    hopefully we will hear more of him in the broken realms book.

    Incorporeal beings of light? Our flying units which are even brighter than Vanari? Or the Cathallar Order has a more melee focused unit which plays that? They were on the Tyrionic side, though if I remember correctly and sounded more conventional. Which makes it difficult yeah. Deception and camouflage are the antithesis of Hysh.  

    What’s yet to come for Lumineth? I’m of the impression they might not make every temple and Tyrionic order as there will be a point where everything is covered. I’m imagining that when the next waves comes it will covers most holes that need filling and they might release Tyrion with them not sure though.

    I love warhammer, It’s honestly a massive part of my life I’ve been on and off painting for 4 years or so but I got my own place in July with my partner and got my own hobby space and since I have been trying to do a bit each day. I’ve never even played a game before and now have almost finished painting my second army, with a sizeable backlog still to paint 😂 this is the way of course.

    I’ve just invested in a Lumineth army in preparation for the new releases that I’m so hyped for. I love the wacky direction it’s going.

    I suffer with depression and anxiety badly and the pandemic hasn’t helped but I’ve actually been in a better headspace since consistently doing a bit of the hobby each week. I cannot wait for the store to open back up for matches so I can finally learn to play.

    At the moment unless you play Ymetrica you need 20 wardens minimum. They are also possibly the best unit in the book point per dmg.

    I think for sentinels, you either max them out at 50+, or you don't take more than 20. I think their best use at the moment is forcing battleshock tests all over the board, or clearing small heroes like hags, or skink priests.

    Hi there,

     

    thank you that’s really helpful I’ll get another 20 wardens then. Would you suggest more than one set of any other units?

    How good are sentinels? I’m starting my army with the intention of focusing on Hurakan. I’m getting Alarith stuff too but overall I dislike the spearman due to how flimsy the spears are and Blademasters for the win. I’d like to have a sword and bow heavy army eventually however I’ve got two sets of stoneguard on the way as I like the hammers.

     

    sorry I’m just so excited and I’ve got no clue about how the army is as my focus is painting and thanks to Covid I haven’t even been able to play at all yet. Loving painting though.

    In my opinion Lumineth are overpriced. I’m budgeting for the new releases at the same prices as current Lumineth models and it’s costly, If they go up in price it’s not going to be very good I can’t see it becoming a hobby I can maintain in the same way. Just going to be people dropping off or buying less. With the great year they’ve had despite Covid they don’t need to increases prices so frequently

    Its worth mentioning that the Aelemental temples are found in all the realms, not just tied to one. So there are Mountain, river, wind and zenith temples in the Tyrionic and Teclian Nations.

    You might also find it interesting that the lore blurbs we have in the battletome mentioning a wind temple places one in the Zorostramaran Desert in Ziatrec.

    Additionally, the named Wind spirit from the preview is called Sevireth, Lord of the Seventh wind. The battletome describes Aelfs who pay homage to the "Seven Winds of the Sariour Plateau" which is actually in Ymetrica. It makes sense since the named wind spirit is painted in the GW studio army scheme, and the studio scheme is for Ymetrica. 

    ++++

    Its actually interesting if Sevierth is from Ymetrica, he would have the Ymetrica keyword, which currently does nothing but help Alarith. It might mean we will get a change to Ymetrica great nation abilities to benefit all Aelementiri, or we get an alternate Ymetrica allegiance focused on Wind temple. 

    Do you think we will get an alt build for it like the big bow mountain?

    So with the new Vanari and Wind temple releases inbound filling out the army a lot and making it one of the bigger army selections, what’s the likelyhood of all this happening again next year with another temple etc? I want to invest in Lumineth especially with the new release and I think it’s highly likely the new additions will be given rules in BR: Teclis and then towards the later half of the year a battletome. However I am reluctant to invest in books only to be outdated within a year or so, I’m also reluctant to believe that they will keep doing yearly releases due to them not doing this with previous new armies. 
     

    im not sure what to think :/
