Dondarion

Do you think next year would be the year of Duardin in AoS? Someone said to me that is pretty clear that Duardin could have a battletome... I'm not sure about that.

yes, you're right... I didnt thought about that... Maybe in the future. I mean, it is so weird beacause i forgot that Daughters of khaine are going to receive a new battletome that soon.

It is possible that GW could join daughters of khaine with umbraneth in a one single Battletome... weird but it is possible.

This Dragon is amazing man. It has 0 Disney Vibes...

The thing is as a lumineth player I wouldnt care very much, but it would be bad because I bought the first battletome and several months later I had to buy the second one... imagine buying a third one. But on the other part I want to have the full range of miniatures. So I dont know, personally it would be better late so I can paint all what I have. Also, there is the Broken Realm story about Malerion and Morathi that says that Tyrion is aproaching Ulgu and it seems is going to be some kind of negotiation between them, so if we get Malerion we'll get Tyrion, not at the same time but the release could be near.

I think the River Temple is going to follow that pattern: unit, mage and spirit. But the Zenith temple i think isnt going to follow that. According to the lore zenith temple is the hardest temple to achieve and only the best mages are part of it. So maybe we only get a Mage hero or a special character.

Harkon could be related to Luthor Harkon?

I think that the reason of the lower number of female players and ''hobbyist'' is not because of the low female representation in the game or at least is not the main reason. From my perspective the most important reason is prejudice, especially the prejudice of the male-dominated environement wich is portrayed as an agressive environement. I'm not saying that there is not certain agressiveness but imagine being a woman/girl that is new to the game and suddenly you meet with an A**hole. The next step is to get out of there ASAP, because you dont feel welcome. But that is not what i've seen so far in this hobby. When a female comes in everyone was nice to her and everyone was open to help her. From my point of view GW can transforn every army from male to female and there would be more male players again. And I ask myself, if I can play with an army that is full female as Battle sisters or DoK why this can't be viceversa?

The swordman hero is part of one of the 4 elements in the lumineth army the same as the Alarith Stoneguard. In this case part of the River aspect I think.
