    The "mortals redesign" Discussion

    in Age of Sigmar Discussions

    Posted

    As someone who was really hype about potentially getting new Cities I find myself pretty disappointed with them. Largely because I love historical arms and armor. Something I love about the Empire and Brettonia is how historically accurate the armors are. With the new models they aren't historically accurate, which is unfortunate. But they also look really rough and bulky. When I see them I feel like I'm looking at what Fallout Raiders would wear if they knew what medieval arms and armor looked like.

    When I read rumors that they were a mirror to the Chaos Legionnaires I got really excited because Chaos Legionnaires look honestly amazing and are a fantastic blend of WH Chaos, and actual historical designs.

    Silent People Speculation

    in Age of Sigmar Discussions

    So new thing for the silent people. In the new Ossiarch Bonereaper warband they get a little mention. Specifically that the Bonereapers want them.

    Okay, we were wrong. Sent on a mission by Nagash himself to collect a tithe of bones from the mysterious Silent People, 

    It's not much but I'm glad that are getting mentioned even on WH Community.

    Lore what happened to the Sisters of Twilight

    basically goes down to what the Lore writers wants to do or if any of them feel the need to bring back old characters

    Edit: or they easter egg tease them like Settra and Sigvald, but has nothing really do it with the narrative as a whole unlike how they bring back Eltherion in Lumineath which was more of a straight up resurrection.

    One down, one to go.

    Broken Realms: Morathi - SPOILER Discussion + Lore Summary

    in Age of Sigmar Discussions

    Posted

    Personally I think it's Vampires. They've played up the Vampire ancestry for a bit. Could some of the bare armed w/ rapier rumor engines that have been going about lately. Plus it'll give Death some love which received no love yet in Broken Realms. 

     

    If Malerion gets involved (and I desperately hope that he does) it's going to be closer to the end IMO. It's just too soon to play a hand either way. Let Morathi make  the big grand play, this is her time. As long as she does not die let her suffer the consequences.  Next book is going to be the response to this play. I expect Death (With Vampires) and maybe Destruction to get some love here, along with Hedonites who have too big a cliffhanger to leave out.

    Silly question but does Morathi count as two models or one towards de 1 to 4? I imagine that they count as one as you buy them together, then you just deploy them separately. 

    Darkshards with ritual and battalion is a lot of dakka... 

    I imagine she'll only count as one since I don't believe they said anything different about her specifically there.

     

    So now that we know the restrictions of Har Kuron what do you guys think will be some builds going forward with them? (I'm more asking because while I've dabbled in AoS, Har Kuron has been my tipping point.

    Kouran was Captain of the Black Guard, from Naggarond. Tullaris of the Executioners poss the Har Ganeth guy you meant? Sorry to be pedantic, thrilled to see Kouran remembered in any form!!

    No. I was referencing the two different parts of the name. Har Kaldra and Har Ganeth are Dark elf city names with Har being a reoccurring convention. Hence the "Har". The Kuran seems to be a very direct tribute to Kouran Darkhand in the same way Khailebron is very much a tribute to Hellebron.

    Not a problem btw. I guess I didn't explain my thought process as well as I thought xD . As for remembering Kouran I'm a huge Dark elf fan and I adore the Blackguard & Malekith so it was the first thing that came to mind when I read the name.

    Har Kuron likely takes inspiration from Har Ganeth and Kouran Darkhand from WHF. They will likely be the CoS + DoK faction.

     

    There are two distinct ways Har Kuron can be introduced.  Either it's just some new city in Ulgu, or it's very possible this is a rebellion by the Blackscale coil (who are the (dark) Elves who secretly lead Anvilgard) against the Stormcast, and they are renaming the city in their honor (in the book the last story event is the fall of Anvilgard)

    If it's the latter it'd mean we have a very cool conflict in the future.

    So minor little point on Har Kuron I think people are missing. Everyone has drawn the Har Ganeth parallel, but I don't think anyone has also connected it with Kuoran Darkhand the named Blackguard and Malekiths loyal bodyguard. Plus CoS have Blackguard in their line.

     

    Plus GW isnt above butchering names with Khailebron being a DoK temple either

    Any guess on the new rumors engine picture? 

    It's Lelith Hesperax. The barbs in her hair is a trademark of her, as well as the knife from a few weeks ago is a Dark Eldar Wych knife 1 for 1. Only difference is a bit of cloth tied to it (which lines up with the Incubus cloth). Finally the gauntlet has the distinct dark eldar style and even the little knuckle studs.

    I wouldn't be surprised if when Malerion comes out we'll get a Orruk Warclans esque update where you can run DoK or Malerion Elves separately with their own rules, or you can run them combined. Admittedly that is purely speculation on my part. Although IMO it would help with the "Elf Bloat" we're getting.

    I really like the models. They have me excited. They also show far more of a classic Druchii look along with an additional Ulgu style/theme. To me these could play a similar role to that of the cipher lords in while not being direct 1 for 1 match of the Lumineth does certainly tease design elements. So it could be hinting at an expanded Daughters range, or as many people are hoping for the link between Morathi and Malerion. Of course that is all from a meta/design perspective along with a heavy dose of speculation and wishlisting. 

     

    I have to say when I first saw these models revealed I was ecstatic. The melding of classic Druchii, with Daughters of Khaine symbols, and style, with a fair bit of Ulgu (Along with a liberal inspiration from the Drukhari range in 40k) and I just love the aesthetic of the models. Only thing that could make me love them more is some plate armor on them (which doesn't fit the faction so I'll forgive it)

    Duel Crossbows/Magic and Blade had me VERY excited. As well as the clear Shade styling going on. I'm also REALLY curious what the main guy/girl's weapons are made of. They seem to be stone. Could they by the realmstone of Ulgu? I don't see Aelves using stone weapons otherwise. 

     

    Please forgive my little rant here. I'm rather giddy for new Dark Elves.

    That's what I thought too!  Watch, they're gonna worship the moon and everything now :D

    For real though, that design looks sweet!  And it's not really Night Elves (armor design is pretty distinct and mostly looks like a throwback to High Elves in Warhammer), but I'm going to love all the memes that will inevitably draw comparisons.  Comments will be popcorn worthy for sure!

    Elves in Warhammer have always worshipped a moon god. Og Teclis had a crescent moon on his hat, and a lot of shields and trinkets on both the dark elves and high elves depict moons as well.

    I'm gutted.  Some of our older players set up a WHFB 8th edition game day yesterday.  The amount of interest really kicked me in the gut.  There were so many people that showed up for it yesterday, I had no idea that that many people wanted WHFB back.  I haven't even seen a lot of the guys that showed up before in my life.

    Its really going to tear my community apart and endanger our AOS group.

    You just said it's a bunch of people you've never seen before. Quite a few (if not all) of those older guys who play AoS now won't quit and new/old blood will come in via this renewed interest in the old world from WHFB players or those that became interested via the video games.

     

    You're reaction right now seems to be fearmongering and paranoia. Things will only grow from both games, it will be fine. :)
