    There's no current hero Warscroll that fits so probably a new one for Lord Celestant with some sort of Grandblade.

    More SC heroes!

    I also read that its not 100% exclusive to Warhammer world, just available there first. Wonder if it'll be a store only limited edition release after or just a regular clampack?

    So is it a liberator prime with grandblade weapon?  The halo is something you only see on lord celestants (or paladins?) though.

    Is it a new kind of equipment for Lord Celestant on foot? 2 handed?

    I am, I am afraid, quite obsessed with warscrollery here. These kinds of models usually come with their own rules after all!

    Thanks :)

    I'm stepping back and focusing on the basics for the remaining stormcast.

    For the next project I'll be looking at learning a bit more about colour selection (I mostly copy box art which I'd like to move away from) and learning how to work with glazes properly I think.

    So I'm a slow painter by and large. I need to learn speedy tricks. I'm not going to post what I've painted to date (I'll include one pic I put in the display army thread elsewhere) but things I'm currently working on.

    The past two and a half weeks my evening hour or two has been spent on 2 concussors. These guys are quite the challenge to paint! In effect it's another LCoD from the starter set with a few more details.

    The first one is 99% complete and here he (or she) is!

    The 2nd concussor is maybe 70% complete and is next up.

    After that I've got 5 x paladins to build and paint, 5  x liberators to build and paint and then 4 x liberators to paint.

    After that, well I'm thinking of a style and faction change.

    Plus I've got Silver Tower to paint.

    We'll see! There's months of work ahead.

    Changing the subject back to AoS...

    with these campaigns, the summer one is in the realm of life, the autumn one is supposedly in aquishy.

    that means that the winter/spring one ( so 2017 type time ) would be in another realm following current logic. i think its death? which is followed by a battletome for death ( according to rumours) so there looks to be a pattern forming, with each campaign a battletome for the relevant fraction is released. 

    so, if you follow this string logic, when it gets around to slaanesh being re-released (2017 ) i expect it would be in the realm with the Aelfs ( as he is meant to be captured by tyrion an co {i think } ) , so you could expect to see a battletome for them also. which would be the spring campaign 

    it makes sense but perhaps that's because i want it to make sense.. lol  

     

     

    I don't find this illogical at all. Makes sense. But jumble it all up abit because logic is going to come behind logistics for a company.

    Rumour tends to say something along these lines: "it will go from 5 minutes before midnight to 1 minute before midnight" (and not 2000 years after midnight, like AoS). It is the fluff moving forward, with massive potential changes, but no whole change of the universe. I think if done well this is actually exciting and is also what should have been done with WHFB (although maybe like: 100 years after midnight, but in the same, changed world). So look forward to massive changes but no change of the gaming world. 

    Rumoured massive changes: Primarchs coming back and having models; daemon primarchs coming back and having models; important lore zones destroyed or invaded; etc. 

    I would prefer this for 40k. I like AoS's angle now (super high fantasy) but I wasn't so invested in WHFB lore and I can understand how a world is harder to add things to without it feeling mega cluttered (though that's not the only reason as we know).

    40k feels like it's just got so much. It's a universe!

    I want to see the emperor on the run in a mobile giant arc golden throne ship with marines and surviving humanity in tow. Let's add battlestar galactica to the IP soup that makes 40k so interesting.

    Or they can go more Dune-like. I'll never say no to more Dune.

    Rules wise, a guy in the 40k subreddit just informed me the rules are perfect (well, robust). I've not played since a very early edition but it all seems a bit obtuse and overbearing. Am I wrong?

    -Summer 2017 is the new 8th edition, which will be a major change both on fluff and gameplay.

    Would they sneak in an AoS sized rule reconstruction in an edition? OR will they perhaps build to their own 'end times'.

    I actually saw a post about the end times in the 40k subreddit and thought I'd don my fire gear and post something https://www.reddit.com/r/Warhammer40k/comments/4vrhde/are_we_going_to_have_a_40k_end_times_as_well/d60vqbn

    What interests me is that they don't need to take such drastic lore measures with 40k (a whole universe has more potential than the old world) to shake it up. It'd be more the rules that they would upend.

    Edit/ I was going to paste the text here but left the link as I figure this is for rumours not 40k end time speculation.

    The aos app is currently listing allegiance battlepacks for Deepwood and Wurrog. Both not familiar to me. A glitch?

    They look like two subfactions within Sylvaneth and bonesplitterz respectively?

    The value of the SC one is great but I am disappointed in the amount of times we see the single pose retributor prime.

    If you buy the Age of Sigmar small game box set, then the main Age of Sigmar box set, and finally decide to commit to Stormcast with the get started stormcast box set shortly after, you'd have:

    2 Units of monopose liberators with 2 spare primes and 2 spare regular (nearly another unit)

    1 Unit of multipose liberators

    1 unit monopose prosecutors

    1 unit of multipose prosecutors

    1 unit of monopose retributors with 2 spare primes

    1 Lord Relictor

    1 Lord Celestant on Dracoth

    1 Lord Celestant on Foot

    I only assume the 2 retributors were thrown in as a bonus which is nice.
