    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!?

    Since we have been seeing a lot of maps for TOW up to now:

    Do you think maps will play a bigger role in that game (maybe through some kind of territory control element), or are maps just the easiest type of art asset to produce and show off early?

    Would be cool if signalled lots of narrative campaign stuff (but I doubt it)

    Sure, freeguild swordsmen and similar may crossover easily, however say goodbye to the entire collegiate arcane and potentially many gunpowder based units, depending on when exactly around 2200 the game will be based.

    Any way, we are way off and for now AoS seems more interesting and less written in stone, new races can pop over from anywhere, who knows, maybe Saturday we will see a glimpse of 2021 new armies!

    Mordheim (1999) shows handguns, pistols and the odd small cannon in action

    Don't know if it's been mentioned here but in White Dwarf 459, on page 23, it has a small paragraph featuring Roilon Ven Brecht, one of Neferata’s devoted courtiers. It's unlikely we will see this specific Ven Brecht as it implies they where eaten by the Skitterstrand known as Boss Seven-Eyez, but this may indicated that if we see the continuation of Keiser Ven Brecht's story in BR, Neferata could be a key figure.

    Great catch!

    and Overread above - I’m maxed out on reacting but that was an epic Morathi essay

  5. 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.
