Although, given the loyalty of the Covens to their Sorceress and the Privateers' methods of business, there aren't going to be many of the old Dark Aelves amongst them. Those that are will be under some suspicion as spies and infiltrators. It would make for a good role-playing campaign. I know lore isn't essential to play on the table, but I find it helps with the immersion if things make sense. Anyway, it's nice to have more options.

I've considered it, but I've never been able to convince myself (lorewise) that my old Dark Elves and Stormcast see eye to eye. I know that this is a bit of a hangover from the past, but it's made sense to me. Now that Har Kuron has come along, though, we have Cities outside of Stormcast influence and it somehow feels more right now to allow Stormcast in when playing the old cities.

Wait - has anyone seen them in the same thread at the same time .....?

Man will read Book tomorrow, so not long to wait to find out.

True, I was referring to Lumineth and Idoneth specifically. I am intrigued, though, about how they divvied up the souls between the four of them. I suppose it's possible that you were a High Elf swallowed by Slaanesh one moment and then wake up to find you're worshipping Morathi and wagging your tail. It would make for an interesting storyline.

Well, it's the same souls, so -technically?

Yep, my three Bolt Throwers still languishing (plus various heroes) - and what to do with medium Morathi?

So, all the old Dark Elf units back under one roof.

I think the Covenant Chamber is a Dispossessed chamber. I think this was the covenant made between Sigmar and Grungni in return for Grungni making the Anvil of Apotheosis and providing the services of the Six-smiths. A bit left-field, I admit, but it has a certain logic.

Well, perhaps the physical form remains but the power that resided in it was used up in the ritual. Either way, I think the cap of 3 wounds will have gone. Not long to find out.

I expect the Heart of Khaine no longer exists as it was probably destroyed as a physical item during the ritual to create Morathi-khaine.

I hope it brings you as much joy to paint and play as it has me. Also, once I had painted it I discovered that my army was complete in a way that I hadn't realised before, despite having over 2000 points painted already. Of all my centrepiece models, this feels the most centrepieced (if that's a word ).

It wouldn't surprise me if Har Kuron is in Ulgu as well as Misthavn. I think GW will bring in new cities one realm at a time. It feels like both of them will owe their allegiance to Morathi rather than Sigmar, so 1 in 4 DoK are on the cards. Hopefully we might get a preview today or tomorrow.

Misthavn in Ulgu seems to be a centre for drugs, from the Community article, so poisons are probably a business they also deal in. Looking forward to getting my hands on the book.

Just like to say that, for me, it is one of the models I have had the most fun and satifaction in painting. Not sure what value you can put on that.

Sounds a bit like the Cities stuff in Broken Realms: Morathi.

Getting back to the topic of wishlist/guesses/discussion, I am hoping for some teleporting shennanigans. The new warcry DoK band's warscroll gives me hope as they are from Ulgu. It could be the city command ability, so CP dependant. The battletome gave us one battalion for each city, so I'm hoping that will continue and that the Drusa battalion is a bonus. I also hope that there will be some way of generating CP, either through an artifact or spell.

Definitely looking forward to a boost to my Darkling Covens. I would be more than happy if Drusa Kraeth is a two-caster. I'm pretty sure she will be keyworded to Anvilguard though, so no use in Hallowheart. It can't be coincidence that the Sorceress bears a very similar name to the Kraith Temple in DoK, surely. GW are not averse to using very similar names for completely seperate things, but this is in a book called Morathi. I may have to start rebasing my old metal Witch Aelves.

I tend to swing from one army to another to keep things fresh. I've painted 10 Wardens, 10, Sentinels and 5 Dawnriders, but currently working on a Loonshrine for my Troggoths. By the time I've finished that, I'll be refreshed to return to Lumineth for a Cathallar and 10 more Wardens, possibly more, but if I get a bit fatigued, I have 10 Brutes in the bag (literally) as a change , or rebasing some more Dark Aelves. I find a change is sometimes as good as a rest.

If they bring out Broken Realms: Grungni, He'll want a city of His own after all. I think this series is going to shake up the Realms more than the Necroquake.

The fall of Anvilguard doesn't have to be it's destruction. It could simply mean that it falls to Morathi and becomes Her city rather than Sigmar's. Goodbye 1 in 4 Stormcast - Hello 1 in 4 DOK.

Please don't buy any Troggoths - thank you.

Well, it's rude to talk with your mouth full.

Only the unit champion is a Wizard and if the champion is the last model standing, they are no longer a Wizard anyway. The unit does not have the wizard keyword.

All I can see is a nest on top of a walking tree stump and a raven wondering why it's hatched a weathervane in the shape of a Swiss Cuckoo clock.
