To be honest, I think Stormcast Eternals is a bit complicated for a faction. It does not translate really well to other languages: Los Eternos Forjados en la Tormenta (spanish).

cyrus Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 So first Battle tomes ( after Stormcast and Skaven) are probably Orruks and Nurgle since are the oldest ? Orruks can really split up again in two with Ironjawz and Kruleboyz on their own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean…heck yeah? I bought the 2015 starter box & start collecting sets multiple times just so I could have numerous Lord-Relictors. 😄💀 I’m extremely happy that the Relictor lines have finally got fleshed out to knights, Questors, Ionus getting a major badass update and now Ruination basically being Relictor themed Warriors. I mean they’re literally Necromancer-Paladins that we’re reforged from necromancers or Shyish princes that turned from Nagash so Sigmar could make use of their undead soul powers and mix them with holy magic so they, lore-wise, do all kinds of crazy stuff from resurrecting dead leviathan skeletons to shake chaos castles off their backs to taking recently slain Stormcast souls and turning them into ghost grapeshot to obliterate their killers before sending them on their way to Azyr to reforge. They’re peak. On a related note my guess for the new Raven/Wolf chimera companion is it will be with the new Lord-Relictor of the box. With priests needed to build up prayer power it makes sense he gets a Shyishian breed of crow gryph to keep him safer(I’m guessing it’s actually classification is something like Gryph-Skulker and it excels at taking down weak prey with critical strikes, such as rat-men) @CommissarRotke ”are we too young to remember if Wfb/40k had these narrative problems?” Pffffft, hahaha! Dude those early times were narrative sh$t shows so much lore went back and forward between retcons, re-retcons and undid retcons brought back. Just listen to some of Sotek & Andy’s podcasts. Altdorf’s history is the best. Get to see it go from a small hill city, retconned into a land-locked huge Roman city then dialed back into a medieval sea town because they needed it connected with man-o-war, then turned into a massive land locked gothic city and THEN turned back into the original small city for End Times. And other fun instances of people like Andy who rewrote whole histories for it to be more accurate to the rpg but then the head devs moved out and his work was tossed out and replaced with somebody else’s slapdash Altdorf lore. AoS may have it’s growing pains and then got hit by a pandemic & multiple global crises that made it’s strides turn to stumbles and messed up narrative pacing it keeps having to get back on track with but we’re LEAGUES luckier than the lore mess and Storm of retcons oldhammer was constantly in. 😆 (I mean, even the Gotrek & Felix novels were so clumsy timeline-wise they had to write some timey-whimsy outs because the authors didn’t check with eachother and you’d get points where Gotrek, Felix and Ulrika are adventuring…years before the Window Tax Riot even happened where Gotrek & Felix first met) 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orruks can really split up again in two with Ironjawz and Kruleboyz on their own. My bets are Ironjawz Mobs & Soulblight. Easy to spread out with just some hero releases that way(though maybe something cool too like armored Troggs for IJ & elite Graveguard for SBGL?) Going by NightHaunt in 3.0 I imagine Kruleboyz in the middle of 2025. Maybe that could be where we see new Gitmob nomad units pop-up to ally with them and make a big Kruleboyz & beast-rider sun grots alliance to assault the Realm of Fire & burn Ghyran for new swamps(like Greywater did 😏) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go 3 - 4 pages back you will see what some of us have said. Spoiler Spoiler, Nurgle and Warclans have been mentioned a few times. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(That was said in a WD interview long time ago). The most probable books to start are the ones that have models that have models in Legends for one year. Seraphon, Khorne, Slaves, Sylvaneth are sure. My last bet is Orruk warclans but it is more a wish to have a proper book with Big Waaagh return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we will be getting Chorfs the year after that. I think Warclans, FEC and Fyreslayers will get a early tome because they already have been part of Dawnbringers and they wont be involved in much lore the next edition. I want to change Orruk Warclans to GSG. Same reasons but i think it makes more sense for a new tome to drop when BS get squatted in 2025. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Branchwraith is already ruleless in AoS and had been for a while now. And I think that's the only model the Sylvaneth range is loosing.

And I think that's the only model the Sylvaneth range is loosing. I am using the Warhammer Community article that refers to some models of 5-6 factions and not the daemon models that were removed too. If you check the number of factions are 5, the exact number of books that usually comes until June that ends the validity of Legends models.

This is the 3rd-4th character for the Stormcast side of the box. Maybe even the one that goes with the Gryph Hound.

Maybe they put more minis in less sprues to make room for the scenery, but even with that.
