He was seriously op in that book - I remember seeing a stats list and the most wins with stormcasts armies each included him in could be coincidence, I like to think pure unadulterated badassery😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DinoJon Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Any rumors as to what the next WH+ subscription models will be? Is it possible we'll get an Oldblood on foot for it? While I wouldn't mind it would kind of crush the hope that we'll see templeguard if the RE is for a Warhammer+ release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarakUrbaz Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 1 hour ago, Clan's Cynic said: The problem is that Gotrek is the last person who wants to be considered a Fyreslayer. Realmslayer: Blood of the Old World literally ends with him calling himself a Fyreslayer. And he does fight alongside a Fyreslayer lodge in Soulslayer. The truth is that this doesn't matter because all this discussion around Gotrek came from someone posting fanart and people thinking it was some kind of official thing when it wasn't. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beliman Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 Un(maybe)popular opinion: Gotrek should be a mercenary. That's it, he is a unique character that moves between factions. Of course he shares a bit more with some faction than others, but that's not his charm. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should give his rune to Bael, get something from all duardin factions (FS, KO, IA and etc.) with rules and go full mercenary.

Everyone mentions Fyreslayers as neglected army but IDK received exactly one foot hero model since their release about 6 years ago if not counting Underworld’s warbands.

For some is KO, some FS, ID, Tzeentch, CO... is not like the whole community just wants one neglected army expanded over the rest. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big agree w both of yall i also wanna see some bcr support that isnt monster focused. Not just the broken record of mournfangs i know i am, but a good flavorful infantry hero or unit or some smaller cavalry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course that I want more KO units, but I prefer if older armies with small roster were the ones to recieve upgrades sooner than others. Fyrelsayers being the most obvious one, but KOs, Idoneth and DoK need more shiny toys. As a player that is still waiting for new non-hero units since 2017, I wouldn't like to see the same gap for new units for other factions. And I can say the same for armies with fantasy models that are still waiting for a new AoS's ones. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people mention FS, some ID, some KO, Ogors, Sylvaneth... Everyone has their preferences and that's what is mentioned most of the time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScionOfOssia Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 If I had to rank things in terms of “Need a refresh”, it’s Ogors then Cities, then DoK. If it’s “Needs an expansion”, it’s IDK=KO>FS>=OBR>Everyone else. KO and IDK are tiny ranges, FS just looks visually homogeneous and isn’t super large either, while the OBR feel 3/4ths complete and are small as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snarff Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 (edited) 7 hours ago, Clan's Cynic said: The problem is that Gotrek is the last person who wants to be considered a Fyreslayer. If anything he'd fit best in Cities of Sigmar, given his proclivities for bouncing around various Cities looking for Felix and Maleneth being an Order of Azyr agent. Their existence has probably been soft-retconned now, but back when Dispossessed were just a PDF/GHB army they did have the Unforged who were meant to represent the more traditional Fantasy "gone mad out of shame/loss and seek a worthy death" to use your old metal Slayers as, though I can't see them coming back - even if it's to integrate Gotrek. Still, with him being an 'Old World Slayer' I think sticking him in the Battletome with 'the Old World-esq Duardin' is a better fit. On one hand, yes. On the other, he's allied with FS and described them to the closest thing he has to kin in the mortal realms. It's a difficult issue. Giving Gotrek the master rune was a genious move to give a legitimate reason that he is powerful enough to withstand the full might of the Mortal Realms, where the power level is much higher than the world that was. His coming to terms with the mortal realms and his new purpose (to live a worthy life rather than seek a worthy doom) is brilliant and really fun to read about. I love his love for his new axe too. On the other hand, he has a legendary FS axe and the closest connection to Grimnir there is. Good for his character, bad for any FS lore progression. He's tied inseparably to FS now. I'm hopeful Verminslayer will continue his character arc, and Maleneth will eventually return. We'll see which way they'll go with the next novel.

BarakUrbaz Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Okay, so in the Skaventide book, there is a character that is called Clawlord Reekbite. He is a heavily armoured Skaven warlord with one green eye who goes into battle on a palanquin carried by Rat Ogors. He's treated like he's an important deal and a point is made that he didn't die so I'm wandering if he's supposed to be the named Clawlord character we've heard rumors about. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it odd that a novel refers to an unreleased miniature with 100% detail, but it could be one of the follow-up minis indeed.

Primaris Reivers and Aggressors were introduced in the Dark Imperium novel before they were even announced. Also if it counts a boss battle against a Skaven Brood Horror plays a role in the climax of the Skaventide book and it isn't out yet. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we have the Glutos/ Zenestra equivalent for Skaven in the follow-up wave. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
