  1. General aelf fancier here with eclectic old fantasy appetites. Currently going Cities / mixed order but interested in lore and especially like Cathallar
  2. Aiming to put up perfected list soon! Contemplating Shadowstalkers as allies, what do people think?
  3. Poor old not-High Elves not-Lumineth yeah. possibly could be pepped up by the rematerialisation to save their smoky bacon of a certain once and future Phoenix King...?!
  4. https://www.doublemisfire.com/2019/09/no-substitute-discontinued-units-in_26.html?m=1 This entry on Double Misfire’s blog is an invaluable proxying guide for adjusting your collection to Cities! EDIT: your witches present, to me, the most interesting dilemma! Allowed and hard but not impossible to justify as allies - anti Morathi diehard Khaine traditionalists? but not very effective; OR your whole force could become an unusually High Elf looking Har Kuron army!?
  5. Would be cool if signalled lots of narrative campaign stuff (but I doubt it)
  6. Very good points but don’t expect Sigmar, Teclis, Tyrion or even Malerion to agree!!
  7. Mordheim (1999) shows handguns, pistols and the odd small cannon in action
  8. Great catch! and Overread above - I’m maxed out on reacting but that was an epic Morathi essay
  9. But the worship of the D o K wouldn’t go to Khorne! That sounds like confusion with ancient outdated fantasy witch aelf stuff
  10. There’s also one sorceress in partic mentioned as Drusa Kraeth’s rival so decent justification for anti Morathi Darklings too, with serpentis allies. And shadowblades (your dark riders) theoretically should all answer to Sigmar (definitelynotmalerionyeahright).
  11. Yeah what is this heresy about Khaine worship going to Khorne no no no. The chaos gods slew him they didn’t usurp him, that niche was left to Morathi
  12. Would so love Tilea and Estalia to get love too!
  13. More deeply random and obsessive Bret thoughts - Louen Orc Slayer is of the House of Bastonne, descended from Gilles le Breton and his son Louis the Rash, first crowned king of Bretonnia (Altho some newer stuff may make Gilles king too, I forget) and ancestor of Duke Bohemond Beastslayer of Bastonne in End Times setting we all know. Note the names. Louis the Rash - Louen Orc Slayer - Louen Leoncoeur. I currently infer from this that Bretonnia actually only had two strictly hereditary royal dynasties, the Bastonnes and the Couronnes, and that the latter inherited through the female line (hence recurrence of family forename Louen). This further contextualises and explains at least three attempts at usurpation by the proud, bitter rulers of Mousillon (Merovech, Maldred, Mallobaude). Also, Jules the Just hasn’t done his honourable jousting reforms yet so Bret nobles are all psychos who duel and kill each other for fun. The Border Princes have been colonised by Bret crusaders and there are loads of bloodthirsty land hungry knights errant spoiling for trouble.
  14. Yes, though to all appearances it ‘all went wrong’ much later! TOW’s period in established background leads to victory against chaos by the High Elves and Magnus, and a much more glorious period for the Empire...
  15. I’m interested to note a few other things - 1 there are Wood Elves in Arden! 2 Mordheim is post comet but pre purging, maximum fun time 3 Mousillon is post Merovech but pre Maldred - so decadent but outwardly loyal
  16. Argh slight retraction - double checked and Vlad is dead and Mannfred ‘killed’ at Hel Fenn. Lots of minor von Cs hanging in there tho surely
  17. Sylviania would indeed be von Carstein at this time!
  18. Does everyone think a unit of 5 is useless, then? I have 5 as flankers for Misthavn at moment...
  19. Anvilgard’s loyal forces, including Corsairs, are fighting on in a jungle guerilla campaign against Morathi, an awesome Broken Realms short story revealed. You can definitely keep to Anvilgard rules. personally I’m going Misthavn!!
  20. Stick with Anvilgard if you want to stay with these and more like them. Try Misthavn to mix with more Darkling infantry. Try Har Kuron to mix with Khainites!
  21. Mage - great narrative report (ye gods I need more of these)! Sigwarus - great ‘Cathellar’!
  22. It’s so nice to read (pretty good) writing on the IDK and their potentially fascinating lore rather than tactical agonising about whether or not they have too many eels or whatever!!!
  23. Hydra and Kharibdyss especially easy to combine w DoK now mechanically at least!
  24. I’m with stratigo here - I think a validish point of comparison would be the grotesque GoT scene where Ramsay Snow pretty much forces a terrified and confused Theon to get excited by prostitutes as a prelude to castrating him.
