    So, maybe a bit conspiracy theory-ish, but I do wonder why the Slaanesh release was split up. I remember back when the first wave came, we were all a bit disappointed at a lack of mortals. I wonder if the first wave was a test of popularity, a way to get people wanting mortals, they just didn't have the mortal side ready but wanted a release to make sure Slaanesh had something, they wanted to coincide it with the narrative, or something else? 

    Slaanesh never struck me as one of the more popular armies, so it seems strange (though good for me and other fans) that they will have had a release of new models four years in a row assuming the new release is 2021.

    (Wrath and Rapture Dec 2018, Hedonites 2019, Shadow and Pain 2020, probably Sigvald and friends 2021) 

    Both aelves and Slaanesh have surely been prominent because their shared plot line is both original and dynamic. Taught Sigmar and the Stormcast how to tell a story in their own supposed Age!

    Speculation times - best of times. So according to the WarCom Broken Realms article, Morathi's antics led to 

      Reveal hidden contents

    powerful aelf souls escaping from Slaanesh. Nothing says that they have any connection to the Lumineth, some could be corrupted (which seems likely for the most powerful one) etc. But, it could also be a great opportunity for GW to bring back yet another HE (or other elf) character from Warhammer Fantasy, and add a hero model to the Lumineth during Broken Realms. Would we want that? And if so who? For example

    - the always popular Imrik? With an even more popular fitting mount? 

    - Alith Anar would likely want to have a word with Morathi (but then she'd be his savior in a way, awkward)

    - Korhil? 

    - For me personally, of course, Caledor Dragontamer : ) 

    - or maybe a "redeemed" former opponent, especially someone who doesn't like Morathi? And could bring a female option to the HE (there was a certain hag queen for example... )

    - or maybe a special unit of powerful unit. As something like the White Tower is coming back.... 

    - and many more 

    - or,  we have enough of this, let's invent new heroes! 

    This is way too tempting to pass up.

    First, before everyone shouts me down, yes, LRL does badly need at least some original characters and that should be a priority.

    THAT SAID.

    I really want Alith Anar back no 1. He promised to hang around and haunt Malekith should he ever revert to tyranny in End Times. He has a track record with being immortal / ambiguous / tricky / Dread Pirate Roberts / a time traveller (plausibly so). He has history with Malekith AND Morathi. And he's the coolest a/elf ever while being quite definitely a non god non universe shaker.

    Coolest elf ever? Actually Alith has one rival for this title, the extremely mysterious Aenur, Sword of Twilight from Mordheim. Possible history with Be'lakor. Awesome beautiful Khainite sword. Ambiguous, neutral, amoral vibe. Could see him as a kind of aelven Gotrek fitting in with Cities, DoK and Lumineth.

    Dragon? Imrik Schimrik, I want Asarnil, or someone very like him!

    I have complex feelings about Big A himself.

    But I'd really like Volturnos to be confirmed as Aislinn or even better Finubar's soul in a new body! (Not LRL I know, sorry, but High Elven...)

  3. I've been gaining a bit of practice as a gm and player, and am wondering if anyone here would be interested in joining a play by post Soulbound game here (in Narrative and Play), GM'd by me, set in Misthavn shortly before and then during events of Broken Realms?

    If so either reply here? or pm me? and once I've gathered a few players maybe we can start a thread in Narrative and Play?

    EDIT: Hi guys are those likes expressions of interest!?

    EDIT 2: Have made a discord after two votes in favour of that medium. I'm Garlan Gunter on discord, pm me to get invited
