With Cities iconography made specifically for it. With a unique icon and heraldic beasts. And definitely Order Cities of Sigmar themed. WHAT I love the idea that there are chaos strongholds out there trying to disguise themselves as Free Cities. Khorne seems like the least likely god to pull that off, but you won't see me complaining! It'd be a cool narrative to have, say, Warpstone jewelry coming from a city called Hel Crown, only for the Order of Azyr to investigate and discover the jewelry is actually coming from the Chaos Stronghold Hellcrown. If the jewelry was making the wearer violent and murderous, surely Khorne could appreciate a rival city killing itself 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmac Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 13 minutes ago, ScionOfOssia said: That sounds like a balance nightmare. Yeah, as someone who plays both KO and Fyreslayers the last LAST thing I want is for KO to get nerfed movement and shooting and Fyreslayers to get nerfed melee and durability so that they can be played as a "balanced" army. But I've been over this a thousand times already, souping only appeals to people who don't like two armies by and large. I don't expect it to happen though, at most it'll just be Grombrindal having his own Army of Renown rules for people that do want to go down that road. 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snarff Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 (edited) Merging 2 of the AoS original armies and ignoring their established lore to unite them under a WFB character would be stupid. Luckily, artwork of 2 factions together doesn't mean souping in any way (or CoS and SCE would be long merged by now), unless Nezzhil is actually leaking. Coalition rules? Fine (except that Legion of the First Prince already highlighted the issues with that). Soup? Please combine some of the Aelf factions first if you really need soup that bad.

Gaball Slaaneshi Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 The surprise for me is that I thought that a Dwarf = 0,5 human So I tought that a fusion between Kharadrons and Fyreslayers will give birth to simples Human, right ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two problems solve at once 🤐 A 'larger army' consisting for 50% of unwanted models not fitting the others faction. The two factions shine because of their differences, merging them would be a disservice to everyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingBrodd Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 No no no no no. We are not doing this again. FS and KO are not being souped. This is just artwork featuring AOS Duardin. There has been plenty of Destruction art with Ogors and Orruks and Gargants and Grots and they werent souped. 2 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm not worried in the slightest until we get an actual Whitefang response or other reliable leak. I'll just enjoy the Duardin lore we're bound to get. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't mind looser rules for adding Kharadron to a Fyerslayer force and vice/versa; wouldn't complain if Duardin left Cities to get a third faction that the other two factions (still existing in their own books) could soup into If Aelves can have multiple fully fleshed out concepts, not sure why Duardin and Orruks both need to be mashed into one book 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OkayestDM Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 7 hours ago, Ejecutor said: About SoB. We always think they won't have a Warcry/ UW warband. What if GW surprises us with a warband with a big minor giant and some smaller minis of a bigger version of the little creatures that King Brodd carries with him? I've been wondering the same thing. Of course, what I would love is a band of the afore-mentioned little creatures, plus two massive mega-gargant feet as "units" that can stomp around the battlefield. Utterly impractical for many reasons, but good gosh it'd be a laugh! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narratively the fyreslayers and kharadron have much more ground to be grouped together than any of the existing aelf factions. I doubt it'll happen though, even a combined BT with separate faction battle traits like orruk warclans would be pushing it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ogors we'll have to see, a standalone beastclaw book would be pretty bad with the current range, maybe some of the new stuff from the presumed upcoming release wave will be multi build as either beastclaw or classic ogors and they could make it work though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep the armies separate but have the potential of teaming up somewhat as a sub-faction like how Cities of Sigmar do it, or if you were to have the returned Grombrindal in either army.
