Clan's Cynic Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 At least in the lore Thunderstrike is literally just a different suit of armour, so there's nothing really stopping them from introducing Thunderstrike SCE with sword/shields and still calling them "Liberators" with pretty much the same stats. Hell, I still find it funny that Vanguard are meant to be the scouts/rangers but they're running around with heavier armour than Vindictors. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said it before but I'll say it again! Why they released aeronautica instead of dreadfleet is beyond me. AOS aetheric ship battles, but in the sky! Starter box KO Vs Grotbag scuttlers (suitable squig balloons as well). Other factions would be undead pirates on ghostly ships, Skaven blimps (apparently), chaos daemons and swifthawk agents! Hurricanes, dragons, sky krakens (obviously). Just make it already! 4 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently they exist! In the KO.battletome it mentions Harkraken and Megalofin, I'm picturing floating tentacle octopus and sky shark. Petition for new game to be called Meg 3 now and a squat KO captain called Statham being the main character! Do we think they could include boardings actions in this game? I've actually never played Dreadfleet so don't know if that existed. For each model bought there could be a ship card bought representing your model and you could attempt to board using some markers in ship to ship duals separate from trying to blow up the enemy. As I was typing this it reminded me of xwing how you can buy characters to man your ships and guns granting bonuses. Rather than buying just named characters you have a selection of faction crew units that change how you move and shoot and your efficacy in boarding actions. Could be a tough choice of how to distribute your crew over the fleet, were going up which ships need crew bonuses on manoeuvring or firing or which ones will be better in a boarding situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucentia Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 There were boarding actions in Dreadfleet, basically just functioning as melee attacks if ships got in base contact. The ship captains would also duel one another in a swashbuckling fashion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDM Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Thinking of the new epic size as well could they do something smaller? I like that new email for epic but I'm thinking if there were tiny units able to battle as well. Maybe a formation of endrinriggers and skywardens disembarking into a flying bastion they could control then a squadron of doom drivers board the base and hope to take it over for it's guns! Would be awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draznak Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 There's one thing that puzzles me about this magnificent COS release... Do you think the ironweld great cannon could be considered as a steampunk stuff ? I remember @Whitefang responding favourably to this a few months ago : https://www.tga.community/forums/topic/31743-the-mortals-redesign-discussion/?do=findComment&comment=596794 But I don't get impression that this canon is very 'advanced steampunk stuff'... Is it just me fantasising, or is there a hint of a possible 2nd wave? New BT also clearly mentions steam-walkers. With elite/heavy infantry, things related to Azyr and that, there's room for new COS human releases. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a great release finally getting those cities humans updated! However I don't think to will be years before the next wave. Summer 2024? Stormcast & Cities Vs Skaven launch box? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gitzdee Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 I've been browsing all of the rumour engines. I noticed that not a single CoS was included in those so far. Dont know what it means though XD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also love to see a Skaven Vs cities box. Throwing a few Duardin in there for the classic rivalry would be great but unfortunately I think Whitefang has all but confirmed it will be Skaven Vs Stormcast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With elite/heavy infantry, things related to Azyr and that, there's room for new COS human releases. I was checking it carefully due to a video showcasing the whole range and it is quite advanced in comparison with the old Empire cannons indeed. If you check it, the arm above the cannon is not handling the ammunition on its own, as I initially thought, but the whole metal piece containing the ammunition into. Kind of a big one shot revolver cylinder, which is what is on the floor in the main pic, ready to be replaced. So I think is quite advanced in comparison with the old ones. Also, the ammunition is quite sophisticated. But I agree, even with this upgrade on the tech behind the cannon, they cannot be called steampunk. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captaniser Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Okay I really like this one. Without a doubt AoS, but it actually shows something tangible but the context is still ambiguous. The base of a center piece model is my guess 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gitzdee Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 (edited) Great looking piece of stairs fused together with some skeletons. (and a great amount of tufts) It reminds me of Belakors base a lot. Another big model? I think this could be a little clue. Have we seen this before? Maybe BoC? I think its probably FEC since we know they are coming. Edited August 8, 2023 by Gitzdee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentSentinel Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 (edited) Hm gives me death vibes (though that might just be because of the skeletons), maybe it's a big scenic base for Ushoran.

The Borumancer Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 The shields of the skeletons have the same partern of the Cursed City/Soulblight ones, so it will be an AoS miniature. The question is: What army? Soulblight/Death related or something that likes "kill" skeletons. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisted Firaun Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 33 minutes ago, Clan's Cynic said: Hmmmm. A curious Rumour Engine, Definitely a death model (the skeletons are wearing “cursed city” armor) but who could it be? Perhaps it’s a noble scion of the seasons brought back from a long exile… or more likely it’s Ushoran using Nagash’s weakened state to declare himself a Mortarch.

Chikout Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 (edited) Ok bear with me here. The skeletons on the base look like 'dead' skeletons. Surely a death model would have skeletons rising out of the dirt rather than sinking into it. Now if Ushoran is opposing Nagash, that fits but it could be something that fights death rather than for it.
