Jator Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 1 hour ago, Arkanaut Admiral said: Am I the only one who hopes that the old Landsknecht look of the Freeguild left over from the Old World Empire is eventually replaced by something more Mortal Realmly? But in such a way that the old minis can still be used? Maybe even side by side, like Cadians and Catachan minis? But on topic, I would bet money that there’s some Moonclan stuff in those teaser pics. Definitely. Not trying to ****** off Empire players, but I honestly think the Landsknecht look doesn't fit AoS aesthetic. But I don't think GW will openly ditch them, neither. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfhead Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 The few pieces of artwork we have seen featuring regular humans don’t show anything resembling the old world ‘landsknecht’ look. So I think we will see a new look for the freeguild. Someday... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabotage! Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I'm thinking it the bottom of a sword hilt for a Blackstone Fortress character. My other thought is that it could be a new human faction with a feathered picklehaube. I could see Ironweld Arsenal's new look having Picklehaubes. That said, I don't think we have a lot of buzz about anything human coming out for AoS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoseman Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Correct me if I'm wrong but for that (I think awesome) wizkids game we can see: fireslayers, ironjawz, Stormcast, skavens, dispossessed and two that I see the most important, Free people's (curious to have that rumour picture and now that) and the other is what? Order ssrpentis? I can't see it nice... The icons we can see that snake too and skulls 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The icons we can see that snake too and skulls From the logo of the last three, it Hammers of sigmar SC, Anvilguard SC from Firestorm, and the snake one is probably Scourge Privateers by the look of it. the Skull one belongs to Freeguild. (I think the background color of each faction artwork on the box matches the corresponding logo on the box.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amysrevenge Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Highlights a known lore issue with AoS. Normal men make up like 35% of the lore, and 0% of new models. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barkanaut Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Who knows maybe freeguild might have some traction after all. Colour me surprised, but this is also why I like AoS GW they aren’t afraid to send out curveballs ion occasion. Assuming this hints at them.

It would be nice to see Order humans though, so there is kind of a point of comparison for everything else, ideally they would have been released already and replaced one of the three Stormcast Chambers. Anyways I won't get started on that tangent. The new game from Wizkids has me interested. 1-4 players and 60 minutes, I'll have to look into the designers other games, because that player range and time is perfect for me. In regards to the box cover I do think the skull is Freeguild, but I don't think the snake is Scourge Privateers. I'm pretty sure Scourge Privateers are using the Anvilgard Kraken over the Hammer symbol 2nd to the right. The snake could be OrdO Serpentis? No idea really. Edited October 24, 2018 by Sabotage!

Blood Reavers and Kairic Acolytes are mortals yes, but they've started to undergo some changes due to the influence of chaos so they aren't quite normal but they're about as close as they can get. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

novakai Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 yeah I think the 9 logo represent each of the nine faction shown on the cover. Of course this is just a boardgame (like 40k monopoly), there no models or anything special for AoS except that it look like a nice side game set in the same setting.

"Designed by Rustan Hakansson, who has design credits on Nations and Dungeon Rush, The Rise and Fall of Anvalor has players helping to build and defend the city with other factions, at least officially. Each player’s real goal is to gather the most influence in Anvalor and dominate the city, even if it means its ultimate fall. Players build city buildings to gather influence, and defeat enemies during attacks. The player with the most influence at the end of the game wins." Anyone here played Nations or Dungeon Rush? Wondering if they would give any hint to the gameplay etc etc. Edited October 24, 2018 by JPjr 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPjr Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 FYI just found a little bit more information on another site using, I guess, official sales notes... "Get ready for a new kind of Warhammer Age of Sigmar excitement. In The Rise & Fall of Anvalor your official task is to help build and defend Anvalor together with the other Factions. However, your real goal is to gather the most Influence and secure dominance over Anvalor, even if it might ultimately cause the fall of the city. Gather the most Influence for your Faction by building City Buildings and defeating enemies during vicious assaults. At the end of the game, the player who has the most Influence over the city reigns supreme, and secures their dominance over The Great Parch! With over 180 tiles in total, 9 different factions (6 player factions, 3 enemy factions), and 4 play variants (beyond the standard game) there's an enormous amount of game play content! In the region of Aqshy, even if your uneasy allies place their resources in the perfect place, your mutual enemies can be strong and unpredictable. You'll build resources to block your allies from developing their strongest options, and they'll return the favor. They'll weaken enemies and you'll try to deliver the killing blow. Each turn will provide many choices, so you'll get to pivot as you learn the strategies best suited to your common enemy as well as your allies. One thing's for certain - whether Anvalor survives the siege on it or not, things are sure to get heated!" https://www.southernhobby.com/warhammer-age-of-sigmar-the-rise-fall-anvalor/p32356/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure the Anvilgard Kraken over the hammer is the Scourge Privateers symbol. A Kracken is much more fitting than a snake and the Anvilgard boxed army was mostly Scourge Privateers.

Guess the playable will be fireslayers, dispossessed, free guild, 2 Stormcast chapters and scourge ( 3 new and 3 old armys). And the enemy's skavens, khorne and ironjawz Edited October 24, 2018 by Hoseman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
