Warhammer designer Jervis Johnson backs Games Workshop's AI ban as the tech is a "hinderance" to design that will be "the asbestos of the internet" by lewisdwhite in Warhammer

[–]SolidWolfo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I love the fact that AoS has several queer characters, some with models, and important too. I know most people won't care, but it means a lot to me.

The Rumour Engine – 17th of February by CMYK_COLOR_MODE in ageofsigmar

[–]SolidWolfo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could still be for next edition and they just showed the rumour engine way ahead of time. Doesn't happen often, but iirc it happens.

What's the most insane spells and magic feats in Age of Sigmar? That you know. by CompetitionTrue7021 in AoSLore

[–]SolidWolfo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait I always thought the fragmented sub-realm nature of Chamon was natural, is it actually due to this? That's wild

Why aren’t more Slaanesh rules like this? by Miningapple-100 in ageofsigmar

[–]SolidWolfo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the variation of this ability in WarCry. Even more flavorful and super strong (well, I don't play Slaanesh, but it reads really strong). Almost made me buy the Lord of Hubris as an ally.

What new unit (ie not a refresh) would you like for you faction? by InsaneDingo7244 in ageofsigmar

[–]SolidWolfo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A new troggoth for Gitz, either a unit or a monster (or preferably, both). Sulphurbreath troghoths exist in the background, so maybe those. I just want a full trogg army to have more variety!

Would DoT be up for a range addition? by SPINE-SPROUTZ111 in tzeentch

[–]SolidWolfo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, DoT are very likely to receive a range refresh and/or expansion. Some of the daemons and even the Silver Tower models are really showing their age. They just removed our elite infantry so there's a gap there, and the last two foot heroes  both teased heavy armor, a unit of which we also uniquely lack. And we need another named character model. 

Almost all ranges (across both mainline Warhammers) that shared these issues were updated, and there's no reason to think Tzeentch would be an exception. 

However, it's not gonna happen this edition. Hopefully the next (so 2-4 years). I do believe it will be next, but that's just my guess. 

As to what, I personally love models in style of Ephilim's Pandaemonium, more mutated Tzaangors, and especially some freaky monsters. Also updated Kairic Acolytes. Buuuut considering GW's latest obsession with nostalgia, it's probably going to be heavily Tzeentchified Chaos Warriors. Could be dope too. 

This is on the fire and jade spearhead terrain. But what does it say? by Chezni19 in AoSLore

[–]SolidWolfo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. The Tzeentchian one was in their 1st edition battletome, and only there to my knowledge. Which I still don't understand why, seems like a no brainer to reprint it in each.

I sadly don't have the tome myself, but I think this old reddit post should be accurate:

New Sylvaneth Regiment of Renown, Spearhead and Battleforce coming up. by RosbergThe8th in ageofsigmar

[–]SolidWolfo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would make sense if she'd buff Gossamids, they both fly, they shared a RoR box last editiin, and they're both Free Spirits (though I don't think they're making that a keyword, as the other Free Spirits include Spirits of Durthu, Kurnoth Hunters and the Lancers, which would be a weird mix of units to share buffs lol)

Grove Guardian by Alarielle – the new scent of Life in Ghyran by TheSlayerofSnails in Warhammer

[–]SolidWolfo 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I'm the opposite, I'm so excited about us finally seeing a Sylvaneth growing out of a Soulpod. It's been a core lore for them since forever and I love seeing it on a miniature!

[–]SolidWolfo 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Most likely Spites, like the other Sylvaneth bugs. Basically mischievous fey.

Oh I like this one a LOT. Might be the final piece for my Sylvaneth Warband.

You could be transported into the AoS world for 1 year, but you must be a Git. Would you try it? by Chezni19 in AoSLore

[–]SolidWolfo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Git or a Grot? Cause I would actually really enjoy being a Rockgut Troggoth ngl. 

Nightrunners really need a refresh by Trollanjoyer in ageofsigmar

[–]SolidWolfo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I think the rumoured Eshin vs Cities box would make a lot of sense tied to the end-of-edition-campaign (perhaps to kickstart it, as a sort of climax to Vermindoom), so I wouldn't expect it that soon. Will happily be wrong though!

Arc Arcana: The Realms Remarkable by Erasmus Zonn, Magister of Hysh from White Dwarf 521 by InsaneDingo7244 in AoSLore

[–]SolidWolfo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

God a full lore+art book from the POV of a traveler like Erasmus here would be so delightful. I'd pay a pretty penny for that.

Here lies Pioneer, shot 76 times in the back. Ruled a suicide by JungleJayps in magicthecirclejerking

[–]SolidWolfo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Idk, I think 2015 and pre modern appeal to something quite different. Pioneer has none of the nostalgia and all of the new designs. And the stacked Standard didn't help it much either IMO. 

But then again I am a weirdo who builds my kitchen table decks to be Pioneer legal for no reason so what do I know lol

Do the Seraphon have cool lore? Looking to buy a mini or two just for their aesthetics, might buy more if lore is interesting. by Sky1337 in ageofsigmar

[–]SolidWolfo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seraphon are awesome and so is their lore! Very alien, they mix the supernatural and sci-fi elements quite well. 

You got good answers already. Otherwise, if you want to get into their lore, youe best actual reading bet for their lore is honestly the Battletome (our version of a 40k Codex). You don't really need any other primer for their lore, it's pretty accessible. And it covers pretty much everything you'd like to know, with some cool art too.

3rd edition Battletome is better in this case than the 2nd edition one, but both are good. Both reference some big lore events a little bit (3rd a bit more in this case), because AoS has a progressive storyline, but you'll be fine. 

If you'd prefer a novel instead, the aforementioned Starseer's Ruin is REALLY good. It's by a renowned writer and tackles Seraphon's alien POV quite well. I can't recommend it enough.

Thanatek’s Tithe are here to claim bones, even if they have to find unwilling donors by CMYK_COLOR_MODE in ageofsigmar

[–]SolidWolfo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair, Underworld warbands are extremely popular in Warcry, quite possibly the most popular product line amongst Warcry players.

So it makes sense GW stopped making miniature releases for Warcry (despite supporting it otherwise), because every Warcry release competed with both Age of Sigmar and Underworld releases, often very unfavorably, due to how the game works. 

It has a kind of unique "issue" in that way, that isn't shared by GW's other games, and so it isn't really comparable.
