Lord of the Isle

Do they have the Excelsis word?

First go at Excelsis list - Leaders Freeguild General, General, In the Right Place, Glimmerling Sorceress, Adjutant, Cower Sorceress, Flock of Doom Sorceress on Black Dragon, Amber Spear Battleline Darkshards Demigryph Knights, halberds FG Crossbowmen FG Handgunners FG Greatswords, Honoured Retinue FG Guard, swords and shields Others Corsairs, Handbows Executioners Shadow Warriors 2x Sisters of the Thorn Allies Khainite Shadowstalkers Extra command point All units minimum size

Aw. I see. A blip in the paradoxically expanding empire of Broken Realms Cities

I believe it got rules in Be’lakor but can’t find them anywhere! Nor has it earnt a thread here yet. Is it that bad

Definitely more versatile than specialist but also a strong appealing theme / vibe. I feel both lore and rules encourage a quite numerous infantry dominated? Force. And the spells are cool so maybe a few nice cheapo sorceresses worth considering

I think SG is pretty competitive

I was hoping for miscellaneous mercs 1 in 4! But I really like the general vibe

Um, no legending since its release, replacing SCE as focus of background, expanded rules in every BR book and new heroes from Cursed City and then Witch Hunters? I got back into the hobby with intention of staring IDK but soon blew my budget on Cities nostalgia - and I have no regrets

Both Khorne and Skaven have featured in BR short stories at least...

How about both? 🧝‍♂️

Isn’t it fairly clear now that the ‘vamp’ who rescued ven Brecht was Belly...!?

Funny that the article about how Belly has no friends actually hints at his surprise ally!

Could the answer to both be the same...? Mally’s hour!

Misthavn flanking cav? Awesome idea yeah!

Am I crazy or is SG pretty great for nostalgic Brets? Lumi options - Lyrior / Regent (Bret Lord) Dawnriders (Knights of the Realm) Cathallars ‘damsels’ Cities - FG gen on ‘hippogryph’ Luminark ‘reliquae’ Demigryphs (Questing Knights?) FG crossbowmen (peasant bowmen) Greatsword foot knights Pistoliers (Knights Errant / mounted squires mash up) Shadow Warriors (‘wood elf’ adjacent skirmisher allies) Actual Wanderers (see above but more so) SCE Grail Knights / scary Enchantresses EDIT: Sentinels for better longbowmen, allied Eels for Pegasus Knights?

Swifthawks not delivering swiftly enough to prove their continued existence

Pity yeah. I *love* the knock off second rate items & spells theme that I think was mentioned above, so funny, and oddly the fantasy retro blades of leaping gold / bronze suit it perfectly! edit: anyone up for Cathallar wielding leaping gold and battlemage wielding leaping bronze combo of hilarity?!

The Syari one yeah. But why can’t he take SG artefacts? How does that work again, are they only for SG Lumineth? (Edit: just for collegiate?) Excellent thinking on the Errant Questor. I will dump that extra command point to upgrade him. His model is actually the Mordheim Ogre bodyguard fiddled about with to look parodically chivalric

Here are my current basics, all units minimum size unless stated... Leaders Freeguild General (general, lol, will get a magic sword and Raging Outburst) Knight Questor (adjutant / chief bodyguard) Battlemage on Lumi Back up Battlemage Loreseeker Battleline FG Greatswords, Honoured Retinue FG Crossbows FG Handgunners Demigryph Knights Others Shadow Warriors 10 Bladelords DoK allies 5 Doomfires x 2 Shadowstalkers Extra command point

Looks like Mally IS appearing

Hoping Glaurio will somehow make Misthavn awesome (hoping not believing)

Weirdly I am much more allergic to named heroes in AoS than I was in fantasy. May just be the difference between childhood excitement and adult desire for creative freedom / control / consistency - but I also think there is a problem with much more epic scale god heroes accompanying much numerically smaller more rag tag looking retinues. For me in your example above, KF was leading a proper army and probably retired wounded from the field. I completely agree about AoS background flexibility and originality, though I do miss the camp, nerdy, silly, historically allusive, outrageously jingoistic jokes a lot still. I think Morathi showed the setting at its dynamic best. Rich characters doing intriguing stuff that mattered...

Please yes

Tragic re FEC spells they are so cool and Bret , may have to buy em

Ok I’m now convinced Be’lakor is looking to assassinate the Everqueen
