Scurvydog Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 2 minutes ago, Skreech Verminking said: Why would that be a waste? sure we have the bonereapers, but unlike them Skeletons very likely only need a summoner unlike bonereapers that get somewhat forged. so having skeletons as a cheaper but worser options, that can be considered dire summoning units to protect your lines kinda makes sense. also there are a ton of people that gw might anger with throwing those guys into the bin This is purely from a lore point of view, as I said GW would probably anger a lot if Nagash was split from the old school undead. The bonereapers take all bones and use them as raw material, even during the warfare with Archaon in the eight points, their priority is to use the bones and skeletons of the dead to create fortresses and now Bonereapers. This is simply a choice of how to best use a resource, do we animate the skeleton as a soldier or grind it down for materials and so far it appears a skeleton is worth more as raw materials for the bonereapers. We have also only heard about the only limitation of the Bonereapers being access to this raw material, so right now everything points to animating skeletons being the less efficient use of them. Of course there will be areas without any Bonereapers where Necromancers and Soulblight have no other option than to use skeletons and zombies as soldiers, they do not command the bonereapers, but Nagash ultimately does. We do know Nagash manifests himself where he pleases, so of course he could still pop up in an area where no Bonereaper legions are currently present and the only standing forces are ye olde skeletons and zombies, which is what I assume is the case if Nagash leads such a force, otherwise why would he not bring his Bonereaper legions instead and use every material available to reinforce them. Stormcasts and humans have a very different dynamic, and having the regular and the elite makes complete sense, but in the case of Nagash, skeletons and bonereapers, you have a finite material and you can use it to make knives or machine guns, knives being much cheaper and easy to pick up and use, however clearly inferior and Nagash himself would have few reasons to go with the inferior use.

I have always found something hedonistic about asceticism and this is such a great interpretation of that notion. I still am very smitten with the uncanny and abject horror of Twin Souls... maybe I will falter for Sigvald and company. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're aren't ascetic in my opinion, they're excessive in the sense their addicted to murdering people in contrived ways that's their indulgence. They just don't get off at bodily pursuits anymore, they're more obsessed with killing people in awesome and pretty ways.

Clan's Cynic Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 (edited) Another redundant echo on my part for Vampires. The bat skull says it all. The next one I also think's Bonesplitters. The green background, skull motif (ironically next to Ossiarchs) and their not having a warband thus far makes it a solid guess imo. I'm admittedly gutted it does nothing to confirm Soulblight for AoS proper, but it doesn't hurt the chances either.

Nullius Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Yeah this symbol is just like Manfred’s dread abyssal’s face. Soulblight faction basically confirmed. Wohoo! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Svalack Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I really wouldn't assume it means anything for AoS. People were saying there would be a darkoath army release since malign portents and the darkoath warband for shadespire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arzalyn Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 The Green one could be the Silent People warband. It is quietly insectoid in shape and match the bone like structure we saw on the card refering them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very excited for April if either of these are correct, and I'll be excited still if it's something completely different and unexpected.

Overread Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Ooh so Sigvald isn't from the big birthing from Slaanesh - so we've still got some twisted god/halfgod/newgod/monster/archon whatever appearing at some point (in lore and possibly model but we'll have to wait and see) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
