Is it a new dispossessed RPG book because Cubicle 7 has private info about a new dispossessed wave? Ironbark duardin who are nature-based instead of metal-based would certainly "defy logic" in terms of fantasy tropes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michu Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Literally, the old adventure said that you can save only the people not the place. So this is not a "GW destroys another CoS", it's a continuation of the previously established situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ironbark as the name implies are glades that adapted to Chamon so are treemen with silver veins in their bark, use steel weapons and can grow homes & fortresses out of all the abundant copper & iron trees that the realm of metal manifests(which is partly what they did for the lost Duardin that needed homes when the Age of Chaos ruined them) But yeah hopefully this ends on a high note and the hold is restored after this. I loved how wholesome the Sylvaneth-Duardin are. “Treelord Grundylach and Warden King Aedagrim are the joint rulers of Karaznethil. They are as close as brothers, and while stern when alone, they share inside jokes in each other’s company, grinning beneath their beards. Many such Sylvaneth-Duardin pairings exist in Karaznethil, from ‘Mossbeards’ who grumble away the days together to Duardin lineages who pledge themselves to a single Noble Spirit, each new generation befriending each new reincarnation.

Even if nothing super unexpected happens, it'll still be great to read everything in detail and complete the Dawnbringers collection. I'll have the full Broken Realms and Dawnbringers series hopefully, and they look cool on a shelf 😎 They do make a damned handsome shelf Edited April 11 by Ledgington For some reason this website doesn’t like images taken from my phone 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoseman Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 With the destruction of so many cities maybe is the path to set almost only humans and the duardins and elves go away. Of course there will be some new cities with mixed faction that can include more races (like a city with Kharadron or Sylvaneth) so I'm starting to think more on the duardin soup... I think is real and will be together as Ironjawz and krule. The thing is that like Lumineth have different spirits and go individual maybe the dwarfs end something like this?

I’m hoping it will be part of a moral about working together and things only turn around for CoS(and order as a whole) as they work more alongside eachother. Currently human-focused: can barely hold their own. Ironweld update with new city-duardin & Cogfort: can firmly hold together and even push. Collegiate Arcane update has the city-aelves bolster the human mages & eldritch war engines: successfully crushing the forces of Chaos as they retake the Realms.

That pretty lame imo like there a diffrence between having a khazalid or scourge in a city who a completely diffrent style and interaction with city human from the other dwarf and elves who have their own faction then just putting a lumineth and give a diffrent hat Especially since we already have cities dedicated to interacting with kharadon (tempest eye) and sylvaneth (living city) Edited April 11 by Dragon-knight77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GW wants you to play the magic elves and steampunk dwarfs factions. No overlap allowed!! Maybe in the lore we will see this, but it does not seem to be the way GW makes their armies on the table. All the new Cities shooting units and scouts were pretty easy for dwarfs and elves to be added, but GW has passed those options up. Best hope is that they get the full Tau treatment. Of course are over a decade old and players are still begging for human options....... or really any other race lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever since Cities has been a (very bloated) army range, I honestly hoped that they would handle any "warscroll consolidation" efforts with multiple kits per warscroll. Basic and Heavy infantry, Basic and Heavy ranged infantry, (same options for CC and ranged cavalry,) default hero, engineer hero, wizard hero (mounted & unmounted on calvary and monster) would have covered a lot of the options that were hit with cuts. A couple esoteric things like steamtanks and hurricanums notwithstanding, I could have been happy to see the multiple subfactions united under some common warscrolls. Like, i get SKU's are a concern, but I'd have loved to see Dispossessed, Human, Wanderer, and Delf versions of infantry/calvary/hero units. Or even just human/dwarf/aelf! If you want "steelhelms" you can choose one of the options or mix/match. If you want units that "feel" like duardin or aelves instead of "city" versions, that'd have been a great way to encourage allies with Fyerslayers or Daughters 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the WHFB minis purge is over, it would be in a decent shape. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the WHFB minis purge is over, it would be in a decent shape. I hate that that is really the truth of Cities as a concept. I liked it being a metropolitan conglomeration of all kinds of things one could see in any given city. "Steelhelms; the army" does not have nearly the same appeal to me. Really sucks that GW couldn't figure out what to do with them or, worse, decided to string players along for a decade on purpose. Bc like I'd still like a swifthawk chariot, if only as a hobby project. I don't think I'd be so bothered if I didn't really like some of the narrative of the now-axed factions. I liked the idea that the Swifthawk faction were the realms' mailmen! Edited April 11 by Pizzaprez 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldarain Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 It was a wonderful narrative hook to group the orphaned ranges from the World that Was. It led to some amazing personalized forces and backgrounds from the community. If the great humaning is it's future it's a sad loss for the sandbox potential of AoS. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It led to some amazing personalized forces and backgrounds from the community. If the great humaning is it's future it's a sad loss for the sandbox potential of AoS. It was one of the things that set AoS apart for me as a fantasy setting tbh and it attracted me to check out the game to begin with. Never loved the empire, never loved that Bretonnia wouldn't take tanks, never loved that a staple of the state-of-the-world in WHF was "all the races hate each other and think pretty highly of themselves." I loved that the End Times used that to tear the entire planet apart. The books went out of their way to say "yeah if it wasn't for these prejudices at this moment, things could have been different! Anyways they were racist/bitter so..." For AoS, a game that decided to lean more into hope than despair narratively, the idea that the races were friends was an instant point of appeal to me, and (again) hearing that "Elves, Dwarfs, and Humans all get along now! Their shared experiences has resulted in new and interesting cultures! Here is an army that is home to all the stuff from the world-that-was, recontextualized into an AoS force." The idea that I could have Dispossessed, Wanderers, Sylvaneth, Kharadron, and Azyrite humans all living together was awesome! I bought "normal human" miniatures for the first time ever! I actually bothered to start mapping out the fanfiction part of the Realms where My Dudes lived and fought! Then Cities got the first of two major culls since getting a battletome and my interest was hit hard. Who was to say they wouldnt finish off Helves next book? Then they did! I sincerely doubt the Steelhelm army will ever offer that level of miniature and narrative complexity. 10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ejecutor Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 With a bit of luck GW will listen to their community and in 5-6 years (based on their working timings) we will have a wave with diversity for CoS. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
