    NO KIDDING regarding JR leaving BL.  His stuff was really good but people didn't really buy into AoS novels like they do 40k sadly.  So i can see his paycheques from BL not being as high as they need to be supporting a family and all.

    Sigvald was written by Darius Hinks though I think and it starts slow then gets,.. interestingly,.. Slaaneshi.  I guess.  I hope they keep that lore in and his soul was just lost in the Warp and Slaanesh birthed him back into the realms.

    From yesterday's WC article about Sigvald:

     

    "Abandoned by Slaanesh, the scraps of Sigvald’s soul lingered in the void for an age, until Nagash – now the god of Death in the new worlds of the Mortal Realms – found them and claimed revenge for Krell’s destruction. The Great Necromancer trapped Sigvald’s essence in a Shadeglass mirror that would reflect only an idealised image of whoever gazed into it, ensuring Sigvald could never be seen again – fitting revenge for one so vain. He cast the mirror into the pocket dimension of Uhl-Gysh, where it came to rest in the cursed city of Shadespire.

    Unknown to Nagash, Slaanesh was also trapped in Uhl-Gysh. The Dark Prince’s gradual escape and growing power gave Sigvald some measure of awareness and control. The mirror was eventually taken from Uhl-Gysh by duardin privateers, before falling into the hands of a band of Hedonite Godseekers, who unwittingly released Sigvald’s essence. Reborn and empowered once more by the growing might of his god, Sigvald set out to unite the followers of Slaanesh in preparation for the Dark Prince’s apotheosis."

     

    So yes, it's a continuation of his former lore rather than a rehashing of it.

  2. Initial Character details:

     

    Name: Iorek Stronginthearm

    Species: Duardin

    Archetype: Trade Pioneer

     

    Still thinking about goals. Background-wise I'm thinking that he's a younger son of a reasonably respected and affluent family of duardin traders, and as such, has had to prove his worth from a distance. Slightly morose about the fact that being Soulbound means that he will not be able to be buried alongside his ancestors.

     

    How are we doing dice rolling?

    I wouldn't read too much into what armies get chosen for Battleforce boxes. Last year's included Slaves to Darkness and Seraphon and I remember there being a lot of hype at the time because people assumed that meant they were both due for major releases shortly after. There are still Slaves to Darkness battleforce boxes on the shelves at my local GW.

    The Slaves to Darkness battleforce is still available on the webstore as well.

  4. Actually, looking at the wording in the Stormcast Eternals battletome, units that already have a Stormhost keyword can be included in an army that has a different keyword - they just lose out on the abilities, so it is not as bad as it seems, hopefully.

    So basically, it shouldn't stop the rest of your army being GAVESPAWN or DARKWALKERS, though it will miss out on their abilities.

  5. Nurgle offers acceptance of one's own mortality, and joy in the inevitability of death , so there will always be those who will fall to Nurgle. You may want to read some of Reynolds's books that feature the Most Suppurating and Blightsome Order of the Fly, as I think they would help to reconcile the idea of noble emotions with the worship of Nurgle.
