Kronos Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 Visually Krule Boyz going by the range. My wild desire guess is a section of a Necrofex colossus for WtoW. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've headswapped many things onto storm cast and it looks great. I think it would be fine. Thank you! Really do appreciate the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asbestress Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 4 hours ago, Nezzhil said: I approve this rumour engine It's (imho) definitely not Kruleboyz. Apart from the squared hole for the chain looking similar to Hobgrot grenade pins (which are slightly more rounded), this looks too refined for Kruleboyz (rough woodwork spliced with rotted driftwood, rough nail patches, and beaten, rusted metal). This really does feel like Cities to me (although that might just be favourite faction bias again), especially because I've just finished putting together my first Great Cannon and Fusil-Major whose woodwork is incredibly similar to this (sensibly placed nails, jointed wood pieces, similar rope/wire as cannon crew fire-rod), but I admit the stylized lightning could maybe fit Skaven or Stormcast (although SC don't really use wood). The only thing bugging me is the weird round metal thing behind the woodwork, which for the life of me I can't figure out what it might be. So overall, for today's "Asbestress explains why the Advent Engine is definitely Cities", my guess would be a Steam Tank replacement/Cogfort/Ironweld machine mechanism. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s really hard to tell because wood work is very similar between COs and KB . Skaven is really close to this either . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ejecutor Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 We might not agree which faction it is, but this is deffo AoS, right? So maybe we are lucky and this year advent calendar is not fully tied to just a box. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a big fan of the continuing stories from the world that was. To be fair Gotrek's is fairly simple - even in the Old World the core of Gotrek and Felix was touring the world and visiting a lot of factions and key places. You follow those adventures and you basically tour the Old World. AoS ones are broadly the same, typically you'll have one faction being on Gotrek's side and one against in a given book; with some carrying over. The AoS ones have a been a bit more varied though they also feel like every time they end Gotrek is about to do something actually major and then it fizzles (I've a feeling that at some point they will tie him to a big dwarf revival and I kind of get the feeling one was planned and then canned/moved so they had to fizzle it in the series). But they are good fun and mostly fairly simple structured. The worst thing with them is the same issue that plagues a LOT of AoS lore; which is the lack of a structured timeline/dating system. So you can get a little lost with how much time has actually passed. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think she'll get her model in due time. Either she (hopefully, because their dynamic is so enjoyable) rejoins Gotrek, or she gets her own series. Amara is a fun character too, but she and Gotrek don't nearly complement each other's characters as much. But I'm still excited to see how she grows after the end of Blightslayer, if she stays with Gotrek. How Gotrek thinks of Maleneth now since he never read her final letter is one of the most heartbreaking things in AoS to me though. They should reunite, even if it's not immediately in the next book.

They could be " just" Black library miniatures such as Drekki flynt and Cado Ezechiar last year ?? Not directly related to Dawnbringers campaign?? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
