"They based their shields on Nagash/Malerion/Nuffles, when they didn't know what he looked like." According to various sources (off the top of my head), they are based on: Kragnos (especially the Murknob banner with Kragnos on top, orruks below and grots at the bottom)/the orruk holding the shield (eyepatch boy has eyepatch shield)/various spooky stuff (swamp creatures, etc.) to scare victims. 16 hours ago, Neverchosen said: I don't think there are any answers for this, but I was curious if I missed any leaks or info regarding the Vanguard release for CoS? Will the Cities of Sigmar Vanguard release fall on the same day as the Flesh Eater Courts Army Box? This was the case with the Seraphon Vanguard and Cities of Sigmar Army set but that could have just been a coincidental release. Also do we have any clue if it will be like the Imperial Guard release with the same models shared between the Army box and Vanguard. If they were to change it up what differences might we see? No official info sadly, although since both the S2D and Seraphon army sets' contents where different from the Vanguard I'd think the same for Cities and FEC. Castelite formation might be a cool idea (Great Cannon, 2x Steelhelms/1 Steelhelms + 1 Fusiliers and Fusil-Major/Alchemite/Marshal), although I don't know if they would include a full on rules legal battalion in a Vanguard box. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Marshall on foot and at least 10 steelhelms are mandatory. It is the base of every classic army and steelhelms are the only human battleline on their own if i remember well. Marshall on foot is the most basic hero of the new wave. I will not be surprised if we don't see fusiliers in the box as they better sell them in standalone boxes as their rules are OP. A canon could be a good choice to have a "centerpiece". I'm a bit afraid about a mix between old and new minis in the box 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then day 1 we got the rewriting of some things so that may not be the best written book. We also didn’t get any mount traits.

I think it's unlikely, but they do turn up in quite a lot of the photos of models. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EntMan Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 It's Friday Dawnbringers Story Day! 😀 I reckon, after last week's reveal, we'll get an Ushoran story today.

Steelhelms are mandatory imo. I don't remember a vangard box without a battleline unit, and they are the only battleline by themselves (fusiliers and rangers need a unit of steelhelm to be battleline and cavaliers needs a freeguild general on horse) As fusiliers have strong rules and as most of people will play cos in greywater fastness with a lots of them, i think they will not include this unit in order to sell them at a higher price alone. Actually everything that have been in the army box have a chance to be in the vangard box, plus the canon and/or the fusil major as they are more central pieces. I say all of that hoping that there will not be old minis in the box, but I will not be that surprised if we see a luminark or a steam stank as a centerpiece of the box Edited November 24, 2023 by Vagard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selnik Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 The FEC rules look fun. Hopefully the choice between bringing models back v extra attacks makes for some interesting tactical decisions. I wonder how big the points difference will be between the new and old units which share the Knight or Serf keywords, as they cost the same amount of noble deeds to bring back.

Tonhel Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 (edited) Hmm, mixed thoughts about the "deeds" system. Seems to me extra book keeping and stuff scattered around the hero mini or warscroll to see when your hero has 6 deed counters. Edit: Wouldn't it be simplier to just add as battletrait that when a hero kills a model, friendly FEC units wholly within 12" gain an extra attack. Or am I missing something?

That's a good point. The army box will have some tokens, presumably for tracking the deeds, hopefully they don't create too much clutter.
