TheNotebookGM

Looks like armor for a beast or mount of some kind.

Looks like the handle of the hookshot in Ocarina of Time.

I'm secretly hoping this doesn't happen because I'm already too excited about the grots and Cthulves and I literally can't handle a third thing to anticipiate.

I'm in the process of designing a skirmish level game and differentiating factions by city is the mechanic I'm using so I'm partial to these developments but I can see how people see them as an unnecessary layer. I think it would have made a lot of sense to not have the faction allegiance abilities be as prevalent and instead stick to GA's and the thematic allegiance abilities based on city or realm of origin. It's more balanced, encourages mixed faction armies, and still wouldn't punish single faction armies if the ability sets were built correctly, in my view. That said, it is WAY too late for that in AoS given all the battletomes they've already produced.

The infantry/balloon KO army fluff I'm making right now (getting Admiral tomorrow, first mini!) Fits right in to this. Any shame in using un-modded models if I'm not painted in skyport colors and my fluff game is strong? Other question, I don't know anything about the lore of this world other than than KO book stuff. Is this expansive enough for me to just make my own little area and have it make sense?
