How romantic! <3

Given the Malign Portents story, perhaps these thin hand rumors are a mortal Death Cult instead? The latest one, with thr scroll, reminds me of a common thread on Flagellents and Priests. The dragon doesn't fit, but the chain could. Maybe the "two aelves factions" was one smaller aelf release, say fleshing out Daughters of Khaine, and the other is a bigger cult of Nagash.

Just wanted to say this has been an absolutely fantastic project. This is what Warhammer is all about, IMO. Such a vivid story, such epic models, such creativity, it is all fantastic. I have been wanting to do something like this for a long while, basically since I started Warhammer. The idea of a long and well detailed road marking a journey from lowly mortal to immortal Demon Prince is one of the greatest and most iconic stories arguably in all of Warhammer. Sadly, I can never decide on a god, nor can I ever find the time and money to do it PROPERLY. Maybe one day...

Feather for Free Guild...that quiver is very elvish... What if they start introducing mixed races, as ways to add to both general factions/aesthetics? So, the Herald of Order is a half-aelf, perhaps? Mixing things from assorted parts of the Grand Alliance would be tge easiest design space, though the DarkOath only fits that if you count her as Chaos Undivided... Thoughts?

MAYBE some spoilers during design talk....? Eh, who knows.

To be fair, she is for Chaos, part of the Marauder redesign that started with the Chieftain in the Silver Tower. How long does Blood and Glory last? If it is all weekend, this could just be the tip lf the iceberg.

Thry darkened the logo, ya know, for dark times ahead! ....eh. I like the chieftain. I always felt the Maurauders were one step away from their own army. Seems they will be the Chaos portion of Malign Portents, for all that may be worth? Would love a quad army campaign release: a big, juicy campaign book and a battletome for each Alliance. Fits with thr Heralds theme.

More Warhammer Quest is always good. Would love to actually PLAY it, but money.... I doubt they would do Warhammer Quest Shadespire, as it might confuse people looking to get into Shadespire proper.

Same size horses as Bretonnia, though. Poor horses...

Spread through out, but not a major focus. But you're right, might be reaching. Spiderfang have the biggest chance of expanding on that theme, though in all of these spiders/insects are a support or as additions. But actual bug men troops? Might be a stretch, but would be awesome.

A Nerubian-esque faction would be FANTASTIC! We don't have an insect BASED faction (Spiderfang is the closest...), and it is a cool theme. This last rumor pic really does give me some serious insect vibes.

Beast of Nurgle tail? I dunno, looks like it has scales to it...and those spindly things around look like tendrils or veins. Maybe the Nids are getting a new toy? Though, haven't heard of them getting new toys and we are SUPER close to their release. Other AoS guess is it is a shell thing for a undersea monster...ya know, for Cthulu Aelves.

Fair. Metal and Light are the only ones that seem even remotely non-Destruction, at least. Either way, I like the idea of summoning them as the basic idea of a Wizard in Warhammer systems seems to focus on mastering powers they don't understand. Anyways, I hope the Forge World team add some nice spice to the rules, hopefully with a cool faction or weird addons.

Destruction works for most realms, but what about Light? Life? It would also be weird for an Incarnate of Death to not be Death alliance. But either way, as long as they keep the reapective Battlemages able to summon them, I am good.

Would love for them to finish the Incarnate cycle, as it is an awesome idea. I am hoping they stay neutral, as the idea of theming an army around a Realm to use them would be cool. I am also a sucker for Collegiate Arcane, so there is that... In reference to the Merwyrn, an awesome idea that they could do for Scourge Privateers is for them to be able to take any "Aquatic" monsters with an accompanying "beastmaster" sort of unit. Then Forgeworld can lowkey suppprt them while releasing monsters for other factions. Just add the aquatic label to anything that fits and BAM!

Back to rumors... I assume a Death based spectre thing, like ye olde candle in the dark deal. My HOPE though is this could fit into some old Empire aesthetic. There is a lot of candles and skulls and wax seals from the Empire (aka Fantasy Imperium) which could translate to Freeguild or, dare I say it, Collegiate Arcane. Total wish listing, but an expanded Collegiate Arcane with Mage Guards and magical constructs, etc. would be my dream! In other bits, I look forward to the obvious holiday boxes and new Start Collecting with my empty wallet. lol I'd say KO and Swifthawk Agents are key contenders. Moonclan and other Skaven clans would be awesome, but would probably require new miniatures.

I believe they were referring to Blood Knights from Soulblight, which is ONE 5 man unit for $100. THAT is ridiculous.
