But we knew change was coming! I feel for you but it's not feeling like true tragedy. As noted by kozokus - charge rerolls for all SCE units within 12inches at 140pts plus his non port banner, oh and a choice of the new banners. Ain't so bad imo. I could see myself using him without reckless. He'd be great in the middle of everything, like a true banner bearer.

I think some battalions might get tweaked to make the lightning strike more secure, ie 2+ (or no roll) needed as their battalion bonus. The new equivalent of the WB or SS. At the same time, I don't think that is needed. I prefer high risk high reward with the extra tools for units already deployed. Maybe a +1 to the roll is enough of a bonus for the points cost and battlion unit requirements.

I think they have to be a 'reward' for staying all in an allegiance with no wizards. Alternatives to spells don't need to exist when an allegiance has access to spells. Unless I misunderstand you slightly. I think this is a little short sighted. In general I see mostly upsides to sticking to pure Stormcast Eternal now.

Lightning chariot nice!

Wound rlls of 6 on LCOD dracoths are now officially nuts

I think you misquoted

I've painted a lot of bright stormcast and now I am working on a few tweaked, darker stormcast for AoS 28. There will be 3 and each will lead a separate warband containing the dregs of order. Whilst mystery is often cliché, it is also dark. Knowledge is the light. As such, to fit AoS 28 these 3 stormcast will be drenched in mystery. Their heraldry is known - the chalice, Bronze with sea blue armour with orange trim. Outwardly bright, inwardly dark. They share nothing with their warbands. They seldom meet with other stormcast but if they were to meet they would be nearly as stoic as with the lesser folk of the realms. If forced to, or if it serves their end goal, they will let it be known that their Warrior Chamber is "Equites Calice" and nothing more. For once this information is shared, no more questions are forthcoming. Their fellow stormcast understand. Or at least they think they do.

These are Chris Peak's (spelling) Order army conversions no?

I hope they get good feedback again. I always die a little inside when I see companies responding to specific customer feedback and just getting shat on because it's not the holy grail. I mean, I don't feel sorry for companies, that's nonsense. Stupid capitalism. I just feel that frustration at the average internet rabble that haunts my working days.

Yeah for me the ONLY disappointing thing for a new WHQ is no new figures but realistically would a new WHQ be out at all if they did new figures? Would that impact releases and work elsewhere?

There are a lot of currently redundant keywords. At the same time, perhaps Angelos will be used for 'fast' units to trigger some command ability or for battalion composition in future.

ding ding ding!

The details for preorders in New Zealand are up.

Interestingly, to me nothing looks as comically daft and badly made as the starter set khorgorath. This is a taste thing though. A talented designer designed it. And tried hard!

Is Harrow Meat's Hunger not a bit nuts?

I think they will for sure. Their stories are little sales vehicles. All descriptions of the gear and outfits models use and the weapons and hints at their rules.

Wait, is it not 2 weeks since the last one? Maybe 3.

I am working on some beastclaws. Quite muted. Background I have is very 'real' - as much as can be allowed with their fluff - and masks are a part of it. Sadly there is nothing like I envision and I cannot sculpt what I have in my head so my vision is held back by my naff abilities. This will as a result be a project I come back to after I get a bit better with the ol green stuff.

This part specifically?

Nipple tassles. Golden ones.

The way you want it to work is pretty sensible. Like I said, I've no strong opinion. I filter information as part of my daily work so it's kind of habitual if I refresh the forum. Others will feel differently. Ultimately it's up to the mods how they police it.

Half the people complaining about it are also guilty of it. I have no opinion either way. Technically you should make a post in a new thread saying "I think the rumour thread is too off topic". I should then respond in that thread. Solution - be very harsh with the thread at all times. Remove speculation and talk about rumours. Interpretations of leaked imagery. Nothing. Have only posts of rumours. Another solution - have rumour thread and separate speculation thread (I don't see the point in slicing up discussion like that). Another solution - realise rumours are only part of the fun and let ppl shoot the breeze. What's the actual harm in a rumour thread with off topic comments for people? Is it a question of time wasted when checking the thread as it is updated?

Why not focus on the excess? A 7 deadly sins approach for units. 7 archetypes. Lust, well that's the traditional format. Gluttony - Big Fat Aelves Greed - a kind of madness for trinkets and gold. Sloth - how would sloth work at all (unless it's an actual REALM SLOTH)? Wrath - too Khornate? Envy - Steal all the enemy unit's stuff Pride - Most Aelves no doubt. Annnd there are more than a few loopholes in that approach. Could be interesting though.

why thank you! These guys are tabletop and I can see all the errors I'd normally feel compelled to go back and fix but hey, they just need to look good enough! YES the new SC are going to be awesome. But all SC are going to play different now or so I hear!

Painted his doggo too...
