Asbestress Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Just now, Nezzhil said: It is not the same. Lumineth was a very small army at release. Cities have a BIG amount of kits right now. Lumineth had 10 kits on release (including the spells), and Cities got 11. Cities may have a lot of kits, but like 60-80% are still old Fantasy leftovers waiting to be updated/reimagined/removed. The "new Cities aesthetic" part of the army is quite similar in size to Lumineth at launch (although army size probably does not relate to update "urgency", i.e.: Ossiarch, Fyreslayers) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingBrodd Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 When it comes to Lumineth we have to remember the logisitical nightmare that was Covid and its affect on the release schedule. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aelvespainter Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 (edited) I suggest we could be looking at a new bomb design for skyre acolytes. Looks like the bomb hold liquid. They painted what could look like bubbles. Edited December 13, 2023 by aelvespainter 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snorri Nelriksson Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Seems a new hobgrot bomb to me. Maybe a Grotbag pirate bomb but i don't think we'll see them in the near future. Skaven things seems better done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandlemad Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 That looks skaven. That dented round brass look with riveted seals is fairly common in their range for Skyre stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really only the draconith princes got a nerf and it’s so that debuff on melee attackers doesn’t stack, making them less tanky and more support monsters. Everything else seems average to good changes like NightHaunt basically getting a new artifact. 14 minutes ago, Snarff said: I can't wait to see what they do with them.

Give us those Pestilens with giant rat-faced blood ticks, Eshins with shadow clone jutsu and Skryre’s attack submarines, blimp fleets, castle-sized Doomwheels and gigantic bug-legged parasite engines! (With the last Dawner Ghyran story having them in the Scabrous Sprawl where we first saw the parasite engines infecting Behemat’s sleeping body as they pulled up entire forests to keep their walking cities fueled I’m extra hopeful for a return to the continent corrupters) Edited December 13, 2023 by Baron Klatz 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll stay exactly the same in TOW though. You can play them as is there, and any new models you like you can use. You could also just not field any models you dont like and use proxies for them. In AoS they can really go wild with the concept of realm-eating chaos vermin exactly because the old world exists now. They dont have to hold back on making the faction actually fit the setting more. Just like Seraphon are a lot more magitech now and some factions within them basically order demons, how CoS is multiracial metropolises rather than a predominantly human empire, soulblight has some extremely cool mutant/animals, etc. 2 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommissarRotke Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 i actually expected the Seraphon renew to go farther, but maybe we'll have to wait for more monsters. the ONLY really magitech thing they got was the laser pointer that skinks hook onto the salamanders. everything else could easily be TOW if not for the poses. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, at length I call them a good middle-ground. They definitely have old aesthetics(fitting as some were in stasis since then or even the manifestation of Slann memories) but when you compare the old savage jungle fighters covered in scale weapons & skulls vs the cleaner magi-tech smooth weapons & armor like they just came off a clean environment you can see which way they’re leaning(magic space dinos that hobbyists can either build off of or muddy up for new jungles) old: New: They’re a good baseline to build from. Especially if future stuff gets wilder like some new lore teases. “A cabal of slann lead by Starmaster Tuomoq propose a radical notion. They posit that it was not Chaos that devoured the world that was but Sotek, for the Serpent God desired for the slann to abandon physical limitations and, in a new cycle of creation, become creator-god energy-beings of unbound potential. As visions continue to assail him, Tuomoq's proclamations become increasingly esoteric, until he and his inner circle suddenly vanish; their vessels are last seen bound for the uppermost reaches of Azyr, where the strangest cosmic entities convalesce. Though many slann mourn him as finally being overwhelmed by the mental strain of aeons, private adherents to his teachings continue to lead many Starborne constellations.” -Seraphon 2023 battletome. (which I liked the new Dawner book even nodded to their astral bodies as the reinforcements Kroak sent down were so hastily beamed over that there are visible holes in their scaley physicality forms where you can see galaxy voids instead 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
