Aeryenn Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) Just when you think Stormcasts on giant turkeys looked stupid a Lumineth Aelf riding kangaroo enters the party. I think it's really convenient to shoot from a jumping kangaroo. Ideal mount for a profession requiring great precision. As for the Vampires. Well, he looks gothic to me so maybe my source wasn't right after all BUT look at their name - Gravelords. It might point at their leadership of all the dead creatures that sleep long dead in the grave, so skeletons and zombies.

But more vampire units/troops would also be lovely. And a ranged unit! .. God I am way to hyped, only setting myself up for disappointment 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Legions of Nagash player, I have been low-key worried the faction would just eventually go away or stop receiving updates since OBR was released. I'm glad that this won't likely be the case anytime soon with this announcement. I'm qlso happy that this seems to be exactly what people wanted: Neo Vampire Counts. I for one am happy we are probably getting a full Castlevania army, hopefully with a place for skeletons, zombies and other creatures of the night. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandlemad Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) Damn that’s a cool vampire. Gothic via anime, and actually a little understated despite it all. That could more or less fit into a WHFB vampire counts army, which is nice because that was a good style that was never fully explored before the end times rather than just nostalgia. I like this general armoured aesthetic with dragon/bat features while still being a little more low fantasy than e.g. chaos stuff. Gravelords as a name is... whatever. The Lumineth dude’s cool too, to my mind more in concept than specifically in execution, but I do enjoy the doubling down on the wild concepts and the giving people conniptions. Looks better than the Alarith and if it’ll stop folks mindlessly repeating “lol cowlords” then great.

Soulblight Vitaesuckers or Soulblight Fangmasters or something. But yeah, aesthetically this has Dark Souls fingerprints all over it, just as the Ossiarch had Wayne Barlowe all over them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Syf Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) Lets not forget the most important thing about the new vampire; they have hair and full armour! Hoping skegs are a part of this army as I have hundreds of the bloody things. Thank Nagash that Manfreds chrome dome muscle shirt men haven’t arrived, so happy with this. Abhorash and plastic blood knights and take my money now! Edited January 19, 2021 by El Syf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentSentinel Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) While definitely looking similar to a kangaroo, they don't seem to have the same method of locomotion. while kangaroos move both legs simultaneously as they hop or move, you can see in the image that this creatures right leg is raised while the left is making contact with the ground. this suggests it quite likely moves more like say a tauntaun from star-wars. Suppose it means the riders are less likely to get motion sickness from all the hopping, though it wouldn't surprise if Lumineth were immune to such things haha.

Souleater Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Maybe they run more like Tautauns? Gravelords sounds classy. Love the first model! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixieproxy Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 So how real are we taking the new Vamp Lord? I really really want it to be real but I'm tempering my excitement till I see something from GW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted this back in November: On 11/9/2020 at 11:03 AM, Neil Arthur Hotep said: I'm also going to throw out a few predicitons for fun: Ven Brecht was rescured by one of Mannfred von Carsteins agents and we will see a new Death army over the course of Broken Realms that answers to Mannfred. Slaanesh will not get a significant range expansion during Broken Realms beyond what they already got, but will at the start of AoS 3.0. The Newborn will be a new god model on par with Nagash and friends. Cities of Sigmar will not be done away with over the course of Broken Realms. If anything, we will get extra cities. Orruk Warclans will get a range expansion similar to what DoK got: A new hero and at least one unit. Gorkamorka will not get a model. Subscribe for more spurious speculation 😎 Just, you know, ignore that huge whiff regarding Slaanesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Souleater Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 @zamerion Not really. DoK have had a release for Warcry and Underworlds recently. That might indicate that GW are doing more work on them. If GW are re-vamping the Soulblight they might have done work to add them into AoS, Underworlds, Warcry, etc. All of those can swap models around. If we get WHQ undead the same could hold true. It would be a great way to add more hero sculpts, for one thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that guy is for a Warhammer Quest, there needs to be another vampire coming our way. Can't have a vampire hunter fighting zombies.

Austin Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I don’t even understand how you take a picture that close up and yet so blurry haha. It’s almost a skill I’m envious of, perfection in any form is impressive- even imperfection. I like the archer on the mount much more than the infantry archers.
