    Have you seen the video? They are not the same. They are still blood thirsty fanatics but the rest changed. 
    Old Khanites weren't made out of elven souls and morathi blood. The old cult didnt searched the old world looking for pieces of Khaine. The old cult wasn't lead by Morathi who has the heart of Khaine and uses the prayers and rituals of the Khanites to ascend to godhood. 

    They are similar but they are not the same. 

    The Khanites made of Elven souls and morathi blood are the new monsters I mentioned. 

    Seraching the World for Pieces of Khaine is the same thing as the Fyreslayers. The Old Cult was Lead by Morathi who used it as a way to gain power, but who never cared a bit about it and was primarily a Slaanesh worshiper.  (She followed any deity for power.) A few of the methods and members changed but it's sill largely the same. 

    And still makes no sense as Order. Who we might as well rename GA Miscellaneous at this point.

    That's  a really cool twist, how she doesn't want him to return.

    Not really. Morathi never cared a lick about Khiane so I was wondering why she suddenly cared now. And the reveal is simply she does not and is using his name to gather followers.

    Fluffwise, I always considered this renamings as a sort of etymologic succesors. After all language changes over time so in my eyes it makes sense that the names of the species change as well.

    Yeah but its also stupid. Call a Dwarf a Dwarf. 

  4. I am glad Gotrek and probably Felix are back. 

     

    Though appearnlty they are just going to retcon the Dwarf name into Duradin.

    Something even their own witters don't really believe. Just saw a video were a GW Rules writer calls the Shadespire Fyreslayer band dwarfs multiple times, before someone points it out and he corrects himself.

    Just call a Dwarf a Dwarf.

    I'd like that, but I think it's a vain hope. SCE and Chaos are just the favourite childs of GW (not least because they always sell well) and you'll be sure there'll be plenty of both in every wave.

    Though it's hard to tell if SCE sell well because they are popular or because they are included in pretty much every boxed set.

    Well, we do have the likely moonclan release.

    Rather just a have a general gobbos release then just the Moonclan. 

    I kind of want them just to make a big sweeping change to the game with an Age of Sigmar 2e merging all the tiny factions with the ones that make sense and such. Importing some of the 40k rules, like character targeting and strategems. Making it so named characters get specific warlord traits.

    Yunno, whenever talk of GAs getting too many releases come up, it's interesting that no one ever really acknowledges that Chaos has actually gotten, kit for kit, more new releases than order has in the past year and change(heh, pun). If anyone needs to take a backseat it's chaos.

    Order needs it too I would say.

    Given the Regimental Standards about new Tzaangors, I'm sure the Codex TS is around the corner. 

    I think the Harbingers are coming the 3rd or 10th of February.

    Yeah we know Codex TS is coming at around the same time as Custodes.

    No, Phil Kelly was specifically asked what happened to the other mortarchs and he said this narrative event would only focus on the existing 3 mortarchs with model kits...

    Though he did say other Mortarchs could come in the future.

    ‘Inside, you’ll find the warscrolls for every single Death model (so far…) alongside four new Allegiances within Death – the Grand Host of Nagash, Legion of Shadows, Legion of Sacrament and Legion of Blood. You’ll also find rules for the Soulblight vampires, if you’re looking to field one of Death’s most elite armies. If you would rather have an army formed from multiple facets of Nagash’s legions, there are also rules for those who pledge themselves more generally to the powers of Death.’

    So, Nagash, Shadows, Sacrament, Blood, Soulblight and Death. 

    Shadows was a typo they meant Night. Unless they slipped up and Vlad's coming back.

    Iam 99% sure it will be:

    -Nagash allegiance

    -Sacrament, Night and Blood allegiances

    -Soulblight

    -Deathrattle

    This leaves almost all factions (exceptions being deadwalkers and monsters) covered and explains why Deathrattle was left out of GH 2017. And implies new releases will be 100% new.

     

    We already know what the Allegiances are. 
    Nagash, Mortarchs, Soulblight and Death.

     

    Skeletons and Ghosts don't need their own battletomes. I assume Deathrattle's will be standard units in all Mortarch and Nagash armies, while Nighthaunt will be synergize best by the Sacrament or Night allegiance. 

    It's far better for Allegiances to focus on more thematic things like Nagash or the Mortarchs. Rather then Army of Skeletons, Army of Ghosts.

  12. This was a comment on facebook from the Age of Sigmar guys about the Ghouls and how they would relate to the Nagash book.

    "The Flesh Eater courts have a complicated relationship with the Lord of Death, and while they do fight alongside other Death warriors, they aren't part of Nagash's shambling undying legion"

     

    Anyway I really like this. Squishing factions into more thematic ones makes a lot more sense. I hope this is just a start for things to come and we get Skaven, High Elves and Free Peoples books that does the same thing,
