    really love this announcement. we can only gain from the brand expanding the variety of its presentation. ive always felt that the settings could really benefit from a creative rendition similar to a saturday morning cartoon, relatable to kids because the adventures are about their peers, and promoting the compassion, and ingenuity that comes with childhood. cant wait!

    New warhammer community article is a bit of a bummer, only new rule shown is Lotann giving +1 bravery if wholly within 12".

    most details were actually discussed in the twitch stream, is a bummer we dont get to see some stats for the soul render though!

    I am a tiny bit bothered by this underwater race wielding chopping/slashing weapons like those great big axes and swords. Realistically, you can't get any kind of force behind a swing in water, it would make a lot more sense for them to have spears, thrusting swords and other impaling weapons.

    theyre buff bro

    Realised I made a mistake here. Doomfire Warlocks are male, and part of the DoK faction, so Tenebrael Shard wouldn't be the only male. Still, I don't think he fits in - we'll see soon enough I guess.

    i think its new enough while still keeping the barbarian aesthetic. hes got the ornate plate, wild hair, crown etc. it should be more obvious once he is painted on the DOK colors, or they are painted in HIS colors. 

    i kind of see him as their dedicated assassin and scout, along the same lines as neave blacktalon.

    Keep in mind that what you just described will take 2-3 turns and will only happen on a 5+.

    this is considering that this city allegiance is free! so theres no reason not to take it when i'm running things like aforementioned celestant, flagellants, a handful of GA:O cavalry, etc. The chance of it happening on a 5+ is much better than it never happening at all. this can also help slower units that have been chaffed up, so escape, get a movement, and possibly charge onto a desired enemy unit to attack or enemy unit sitting on an objective.

    I have concerns in general about the number of things that do things in phases that are not normally for that thing.   The more that happens,  the less it feels like a structured game and more like a gotchya!-fest. 

    I'll try it with an open mind though !

    I'm excited, obviously, i've been a big fan of these less guaranteed style abilities that GHB2017 has introduced, but then again, i've always played models with wacky RNG, so i'm used to it.

    Apparently I am the only one to read it that way, but as far as I can tell nowhere in that article does it say that the picture represents an exact lineup of the next few  Shadespire factions.

    Maybe we should wait for an official reveal before we pull our hair out over even more Stormcast and Bloodbound releases?

    As well, I do not think if GW plans to preview something like an entirely new aelf faction, they would announce that via an artwork reveal.

    This is no more than a teaser, it certainly does not tell us what isn't coming out or a timetable, just gives us an idea on what additional releases might bring.

     

    im going to go with this, as the art does not show new and unique versions of these factions unlike the reveals we have had. so im willing to bet that vulkite berzerkers, blood warriors, skaven clanrats and vanguard hunters will be usable as organized play promotions. im going to assume that cards to play these models in shadespire will be available for people who participate in stores, similar to other companies like ffg with x-wing!

    the fleets are probably hired by the city itself, just because they turn profit on the high seas for monster meat and product doesnt mean they dont care any less for their homes. they probably enjoy being around the anvils too. they dont talk much and hit hard.

    im cool with buying books as long as the content is there. army points is kind of a side addon as its great to have in print, and you dont need it to play the army.

    i dont really understand the criticism of invalidating books. the index and grand alliance books are designed with a purpose, to provide a physical collection of warscrolls or datasheets up to date at the time. a battletome or codex is a book covering in detail you faction from lore, to rules add ons for narrative and matched play games. sure my stormcast battletome has an obsolete path to glory section and may have changed points at the back, but that does not bring down the value to me. unless they release a stormcast v.1.3.4 beta alpha hd remix a week later, i see no harm is having the generals handbook give us updates. but then again, maybe i like to buy my books for more than like the 2 to 3 pages of points?

     

    anyways, do we know if well see a faction spotlight for darkling covens?

    If they are the same sprues as the normal box it Will be possible. But I dont know how those are arranged. 

    shrine or cauldron, if the shrine is built you now have access to 2 death hags on foot, one with witch brew, one with deathsword.

    if cauldron is built, you get 1 death hag on foot and 1 medusae.

    Is the Daughters of Khaine the only set with Aelves? I'm still hoping for a faction update for Wanderers down the road, but doesn't the inclusion of this box sorta imply that Aelves aren't getting an update? If they were, I doubt they would create this bundle.

     

    if you notice, all the new boxes are fringe factions that best fit the new setting. so its not to say that these are taking place of the new aelves, but they are going to complement them very well. we already know that tenebral shard from the silver tower fits this barbarian aelf aesthetic that the daughters of khaine have, and the spiderfang have gotten a ton of inclusion in the realmgate wars stories. these are the most sensible boosters to an army in the long run. they also are more in line with the model design theory that sigmar has had since launch. less static, less obviously rank in file in origin, more dynamic, (outside of the grave guard, they could use an update...)
