Do they only get the City's lore in Settler's Gain?

I'm really curious where the ominous "Life Ascendant " warning goes. Not sure if there are other Marvel cosmic fans out there, but my mind immediately went to the Cancerverse, and thats pretty terrifying.

This is my thought. We get Broken Realms Alarielle next, sticking with the elf theme with Belakor the primary antagonist. Gardus has ties to Alarielle and might be involved here as well. With this reveal it seems highly plausible Belakor was the creature with the skavin assassins in the last story. If he is also gunning for Nagash then that drags in Nighthaunt. Or maybe he wants the skaven after Alarielle?

I'm curious, did the changes in the new Daughter's battle tome change up any ideas for Har Kuron?

Is there play for an Artillery based Tempest's Eye list, like a Hawkeyed Lord Ordinator?

So in the Seraphon preview, I noticed the card refers to it as a "darkling orb" has Darkling been used in a warhammer context other than the Dark Elf Covens?

You could perhaps look at Misthavn to give them flanking

i believe they are referring to https://www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/zk6FT8gulASM5i7Z.pdf

Since a lot of the advent previews appear to be different angles of the same or closely related models, im rather hoping the Christmas reveal we see the full models. I'm also wondering if there is any chance we will see a AoS faq now or not?

Could be part of the large Slaanesh model we know is coming and/or related to the statue guy holding something up

Agreed, I was certainly expecting a unit with Glaive's on foot as well.

Yeah, I'm really, really, holding out for an errata/faq fix. The theme/feel of this city just really appeals to me in ways the other cities have not sparked in my brain, so I really want to make it work, but would also prefer not to be starting off with some obvious handicaps

I do rather expect for the sorceress to be relatively up in things as my idea was to keep her in range to buff the Black Guard. Unfortunately there is no other Darkling Coven hero, but maybe WIly Foe would be the better command trait to take. I don't see any immediate reason why a hero cannot shadowstrike themselves. The once per turn clause makes me think If i deepstriked the Dragon and the Knights same turn, the dragon could not shadowstrike both of them though. I do in fact have Lokir, figured I'd be using him as a Fleetmaster if I got to that though, I also do have a kitbashed assassin I used back in 5/6e as well, but that is an interesting idea, both to use as a slingshot or to use as a mini missile

I hope you will forgive a newbie for a potentially dumb question regarding command abilities and semantics. Shadowstrike says you have to be wholly within 12 of "A" hero. So the way I was reading it was that it didn't need to specifically be "this" hero, so as long as they were deepstriking near a hero unit it would work. However, I may have been too optimistic there? Making the Dragon the general makes it pretty awkward on battlelines. For combat, you are probably right on the drakespawn. However, yeah, nothing says that shadowstrike charges are the only use of Underhanded Tactics, and the Scourgerunners could also be used for flanking objectives. Also only 2 of the 3 chariots I have are build to be able to convert to Colds Ones, so some of that was a practical over gameplay decision. Going up to 1250 will probably be +10 Shadow Warriors +5 Knights There might still be something to shadow striking even 10 cutlass corsairs with fleetmaster. That is still 40 attacks popping out of nowhere. Though heavy on command point usage and needs to be balanced with 2 other unit on starting board (which is what has hampered me from trying to include that in a low points list) I mean, its not listed under Misthavn battle traits like how Har Kuron explicitly calls out they cannot use Way of the Free Peoples. Nothing I see on the Misthavn page implies that there would be any reason they could not use the normal abilities.

Yeah that silhouette is really throwing me off, keeps reminding me of like a Twi'lek from Star Wars or the Zora from Breath of the Wild

For discussions sake, this is what I'm eyeing for a 1000 point list. Seems 1000-1250 is the common points value played at LGS, not sure where to take it up to 1250 so open to ideas there. My first thought is always Add Shadow Warriors but what to do with what remains is awkward. It focuses on dark elves because that is what I happen to have without racking up a lot extra in freeguild or dwarf purchases. Allegiance: Cities of Sigmar - Mortal Realm: Ulgu - City: Misthavn LEADERS Dreadlord on Black Dragon (300) - Lance of Spite & Tyrant Shield - Artefact: Shadowsilk Armour - Misthavn Narcotic: Sawfang Dust (not dead set on this one) Sorceress (90) - General - Command Trait: Shadowlord UNITS 3 x Scourgerunner Chariots (210) 20 x Black Guard (260) - City Role: Honoured Retinue 10 x Bleakswords (90) ENDLESS SPELLS / TERRAIN / COMMAND POINTS Extra Command Point (50) TOTAL: 1000/1000 WOUNDS: 67

As far as I know, Misthavn did not lose the generic cities abilities? Only Har Kuron did that....

Well we had like 4 weeks between Sons of Behemat release and the faq for it , so hopefully we see a Morathi faq in a couple weeks

20 darkshards 40 dreadspears 10 black guard 10 executioners 20 corsairs 10 shades/ Shadow Warriors 10 dark riders 6 cold one knights 3 reaper bolt throwers 1 black ark fleetmaster 3 scourgerunner chariots (2 can be swapped to cold ones chariots) 2 sorceress 1 Assassin The Drusa Kraeth Box is on order so Dragon and 20 warriors (probably 10 darkshards, 10 bleakswords) I'm not opposed to buying more, but looking for a solid starting point using what I have first, then a road map to go from there. Not entirely sure Living City is my best option, but since my Misthavn questions pointed me this way, I figured I'd explore the idea. Thanks!

So with the advent of Misthavn, flanking dragons have been on my mind. But while I've tried to figure out that, I've had people direct me to Living Cities instead. One of the first issues I have with that though is that I currently only own Dark Elves models. Is it still possible to get something functional out of that/or with minimal extra purchases? What might a starting 1000 point list look/play like? Thanks!

To me this kinda sounds like what the underworlds warbands should be. Thpugh from what I've read it sounds like most are underwhelming

They teased Settra?

Unfortunately, Misthavn won't let me flank with a Celestant Prime. I'd like to think using the dragon as a flanking option helps protect its fragility some. But I'm having trouble figuring out my best Anvil options if I were to use the dragon and Ideally another flanking unit as the Hammers.

So my LGS mostly played at either 1000 or 1250 most times, so I've been trying to plot out a list to do well at 1000 and expandable to 1250. Is it ridiculous to try and squeeze a dragon in to a 1000 point list?
