    Im not saying an exact copy or horus heresy at all. They could still be "good" stormcast but undead with a darker vibe to them compared to the normal ones. 

    Respectfully I disagree, Stormcast have taken a beating lore-wise over the past couple of editions. If a schism happens with them that's just the cherry on top of the cake and a lot of people will be wondering why they play the faction when they just get dumped on in the lore. I'm pretty sure the Ossiarchs were made by Nagash to be his Stormcast after he messed about with some of their souls he captured. If Deathcast eternals did become a thing, they would probably fall under Nagash since GW don't really seem to want to introduce any other large death gods to rival him and he wouldn't let them have much personality, they would most likely be automatons. Alas this isn't a lore thread so we should probably keep discussion on this light 😊

    Have we ruled out deathcast being a Death army? I know its like a refresh of first edition stormcast. I cant help but feel like moving some warscrolls out of the SCE tome isnt really a bad thing. I also think a second army of stormcast could be a good thing. Kind of like how Chaos marines complement normal marines.

    Gods I hope not, an AOS 'Horus heresy' is the last thing the game needs in its lore

    I assume Death and Destruction get no say? In which case, the Bonereapers will be aiding Order on this one. 

    From looking at it it just seemed like there was the two teams so I'm assuming death/destruction can declare for whoever they want to!

    Okay, sudden thought with wondering what will be coming for 4th and Adepticon... remember with Leviathan people did the battles and submitted the result of Space marines vs Nids to see who would take over the planet and see what reveals are next? What if we get the same for Stormcast and Skaven with deciding whether the city the Stormcast are defending will survive or fall to the Skaven plus a pick of who gets the rest of their range revealed next?
    What if the refresh of Warrior chamber is in the box so it is easy for new players and Ruination comes later as the next more specialised bunch of units?

    It could even be that whether they defend the city or fail that it is the Ruination chamber that comes as reinforcements

     

    So eh funnily enough I popped into my local GW today (not going to mention where, because I don't want the manager to get in trouble) and the manager was talking about this, showed us a campaign pack where each store is given a city and players have to sign up on the side of order to found and defend a free city or on the side of chaos to kill the Dawnbringer crusade/destroy the city after its founding, looks like there is a fair bit of depth to it!

    Also fair enough, didnt meant it as offensive as it sounded btw.

    I also think when its your job you look at it different maybe. Not as in better or more skillful at seeing differences, just a different approach to looking at it.

    No worries, didn't see it as harsh or anything 😊 Completely understandable that it might be easier for you to see the differences if it's part of your job, the more I look at it the more I agree!

    It doesnt, and it isnt.. wich you would see if you follow the link where the artist who made it also explains it.

    Besides stormcast are john blanche's babies

    Fair enough, like I said first time I had seen that image and Jes' sketchbooks were the first thing that popped into my head!

    It looks like it's a Jes Goodwin sketch which is as official as warhammer concept art can get (unless it's a well doctored fake, I haven't seen this image before until now)

    So, any leaks about 4.0 rules?

    I need a burst of hype but, sadly, the duardin side of AoS seems to be sleep...

    Not seen anything really but if I really hope the characters being able to join units rumour/wishlist is real!

    i just hope they don't 100% repeat the Horus Heresy... If some Stormcast do start to reject Sigmar, I hope they at least don't waver on their heroic properties and still ally with Order to keep each other safe.

    even if Stormcast turn to Death/Nagash instead of Chaos, it'd still be too similar imho

    Absolutely, that's the last thing AoS needs! I'm kind of apprehensive about letting Chaos into Azyr as well, I think it would be fine if it was just the Skaven, but if the realm goes into complete open warfare I'm a bit afraid they'll kind of write themselves into the whole 'inevitable chaos victory' box. However I have infinitely more faith in the writing team for AoS than the other systems, so it'll be interesting to see what they come up with!

    Very much looking forward to the new edition and seeing all the new skaven/stormcast goodies! Not going to lie though, I am a bit worried with how the lore is going, feels a little like they are just trying to make AoS a reskinned 40k. Might just be me missing the kind of hopeful feeling of earlier editions though. I thought Be'lakor messing with the reforging process kind of sucked at the time (actually happy with how it turned out in the long run though) as it messed with the Stormcast's thing that made them unique, so I'm really hoping they don't completely mess it up and that Sigmar's 'lie' is just about skaven being in Azyr or something.

    Assuming we talk about the latest Release - Fun fact: I had seen all of the Warscrolls as it turns out. And another fun fact: They are NPE, big time.

    And how did I screech? Can you hear written words? 
    I pointed out how I see the LRL and why they are NPE. And you took it as a personal offense as it seems. Just as I‘ve pointed out.

    I never called anyone fanboy back there. It‘s time for you to calm down mate, not cool.

    Okay and that's your opinion, as other people have pointed out in other threads NPE is entirely subjective but you can't seem to realise that and imagine that every hobbyist has the same opinion as your own like this example that was posted in the LRL rules discussion: 

    • the LRL do frankly have a stupid and ignorant design philisophy that is disheartening for ANYONE playing against them. Why SOME PEOPLE think that is okay is BEYOND me  

    How does that not sound screechy and whiny to you? Also my problem with you isn't that you have an issue with the army's rules it's the fact that you don't offer any constructive criticism on how they could be bettered, instead you just demonise the LRL player base, here's a few things you have said:

    • Alitairi.... the powercreep continues, big time. #LuminethCheeseLords The Rest seems fine. I am rather afraid of their ballista. It will surely be broken af. - rumour thread

    • And don‘t forget, they also have Artherquarts and totally busted magic support in Teclis. Who the hell wrote the LRL books and thought they would actually improve the AoS experience. It‘s hilarious imo how busted and NPE heavy this army is - Idoneth  Deepkin discussion

    • *and ME Spam and Magical dominance and cows with 6A with 5 damage flat. „Not much damage“. Well no matter. Adding more NPE to the army isn‘t good for the game‘s health - rumour thread

    • LRL Are already utter unfun to play against without the new units. - rumour thread

    •  they're pumped up with special rules like no other faction. During a game they will do their thing while you can try to do your army's thing that is if the LRL won't stop you from doing that without any effort. #FuN - LRL rules discussion

    • Tournaments won‘t care. LRL Are killing casual games. - AoS balance discussion

    • At some point it is getting hard and if you have to play around every single LRL unit and its tricks. At this point a game is dominated by the bloat of special, unstoppable shenanigans the LRL can pull off. It is all around a feel bad situation. - AoS balance discussion

    • The whole of the upcoming LRL (BR Teclis and Warscrolls) have been leaked on fb. No comment. They continue the bs train by increasing the speed of it - AoS balance discussion

    •  They are the manifestation of an entire faction that is unfun... I refuse to play against this nonsense of an army that is taking the fun out of the game while turning it to a "look at what I can do: ALL OF IT" nonsense and I will ban them from any tournament (which are semi-competetive) in order for everyone  having a good time not puting up with this.  - rumour thread

    In every single one of these comments you don't offer any constructive criticism on how the rules could be improved or made more fair, you just whine and yes the voice in which I imagine these comments to be said does sound screechy, they are the epitome of the sky is falling and you haven't even played a game against the new stuff yet, which for the most part is very glass cannon-y. What these comments do however is make a lot of people who spend a lot of money on their army and a lot of time to make them look cool, look like WAAC power gamers who want to make their opponent rage quit. Warhammer is a social hobby, and comments like the ones you have made on these forums might lose these people games or even friends in some gaming circles, that's why I have an issue with it, so think about how you word things and actually try to offer solutions.

    What I wrote is the exact same as GW with more tension.

    aha. You are entitled to your opinion. Doesn’t mean I will respect it all. Especially after what you just wrote. About the LRL rules I wrote that the rules are NPE, it‘s not my bad that all the LRL fanboys are in full blown denial and jump to rage fits and hostility as if you attacked them directly,  if someone points out that their faction is harming the game.

     

    Imo TGA would be more of a fun place if most people wouldn‘t try to pretend that everything is awesome like in some fake parallel-universe. Usually you are getting bashed in this forum for even saying something remotely Indictating that what GW just released wasn‘t good. 

    Cheers

    Jack

    Cool, nice of you to show your true colours

    I have not seen one 'LRL fanboy' jump into a rage fit, all I've seen is LRL players like Luminethmage and ragest trying to rebuke unreasonable claims from people that haven't even played against the new units yet, if anyone is being hostile it's people like yourself, you seem to enjoy complaining about LRL and Stormcast a lot but never have I once seen you complain about any other 'OP' or 'NPE heavy' faction and if anyone is reacting negatively to what your posting right now, like myself, it's because of things you have said yourself rather than blind loyalty to an army that they play

    TGA used to be a place where people were civil, and happy for others when an army they were looking forward to got released, they also actually offered constructive criticism for potentially overpowered rules and releases they thought weren't great. With the LRL stuff you haven't done any of that, you took one look at the rules that were previewed and then screeched NPE, then when people pointed out that you hadn't seen the rest of the warscroll you immediately seemed to take the stance of 'fanboys mad lol, LRL toxic'

    Not cool dude

    Indeed. Yet the epic is only good if the victor had to pay deerly to win. In this case the Price is neglectable. LRL just smashed Death utterly without any meaningful downside. Cellenar should have died or Eltharion should have died along with Arkhan.

    LRL basically just ran down their checklist and moved on.

    The outcome of the story is okay, yet how we got there is the disappointment.

    A more satisfying version of what happened:

    A whole Region /continent of Hysh becomes uninhabitable due to the forces of death. A whole subfaction of the LRL is eradicated, Celennar dies (but will be reborn in time) and Eltharion is MIA. The LRL took a major hit but were able to banish death for now. And Teclis invokes a grant ritual, sacrificing hundreds of mages to end the Necroquake by invoking a new rune.

    - This would be a story of fighting, worries, hardships yet in the end hope prevailed.

    The current story was simple Mary-Sueing of the LRL imo. :)

    Yeah-nah, sorry bud but your preferred version of events sounds much worse than what GW have written imo, and xking is kinda right you have been pretty damn unreasonable in your criticisms of the LRL stuff and the Stormcast eternals rules,  it doesn't seem like you are seeing things critically but it does come off as a very emotional knee-****** reaction. I wouldn't have said anything normally but those kind of comments from yourself doesn't make TGA a fun place.

    I really hope the Duardin retaking their holds is a strong narrative going forward. I love a good crusade and a Duardin one going against their Mortal enemies the Greenskins and the Rat Kin is too good to pass up.

    I'd love it to be!! But I'm getting Tyranid or even Malerions Aelves vibes for some reason.

    Oh man, as someone who loves the holy warrior/crusader trope seeing that in Duardin would absolutely make me think about doing an army of them and I've never really been interested in the stunties before!

    Squatting Watch: Alerts for Discontinued Models

    in Age of Sigmar Discussions

    Posted

    I'm actually pretty glad this cull has happened, means I can get rid of loads of models that are just dead weight to me now and focus on newer more exciting stuff!

    Sure as a player it's sad to see some of the kits go and there's a few that are a surprise but we all knew a cull had to happen at some point. The models that have been around for a decade plus generally don't look too nice anymore and don't fit with the current aesthetic. Hopefully the kits/factions that replace them in future will be light years better.
