Apparently Seb sculpted Archaon and when the guy who sculpted the LoC was interview on Warhammer tv he said he used the Archaon model as a reference when he was sculpting the LoC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandlemad Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Those are some good designs for Hammerhal, some good work by (I think) Dave Gallagher, very old world looking. Makes me think of Piranesi's carceri etchings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It mentions in the product page that it is included in the warscroll but i can't seem to find it anywhere. Re-asking... anyone know how many Slambo points it costs to Slambo up a matched Age-of-Slambo game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shinros Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Oh yeah hastings just posted this on war of sigmar comments. If this is true I mean now that I think about it Malerion aka Malekith does kinda look lovecraft esque. BTW Bob have you guys heard anything about the slightly Cthulu/Deep One elves (Aelves) due out later this year? (After Steamheads, which I think are next - oh and there's chat of some skaven stuff too iirc) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shinros Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) Also If you read the sliver tower novel how the mistweaver fights it does seem rather cthulu esque she can make people tear out their eyes and rip off their skin and she can induce madness onto to people.

On any roll it simple shuts down its leg generators and flattens the enemy force for infinite mortal wounds. What's worse is... it's battleline...

Double Misfire Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Fresh from the community site: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/02/20/closer-look-the-heroes/ Closer Look – The Heroes In the second of our series on the new Shadows over Hammerhal game, we are going to take a closer look at the heroes of Hammerhal, those noble adventurers that will soon be braving the deeps of the great city’s Chaos-tainted dungeons. Arvios Sunhelm A Lord-Castellant of the Hammers of Sigmar, this veteran of the Realmgate Wars fought at many of the great battles of that time. Now, he stands guardian over the great Free City of Hammerhal. Unlike many Stormcast Eternals Chambers, the Hammers of Sigmar are well integrated into the city populous – they act as living idols of the God-Kings benevolent light and mediate the many free races that call the Twin-tailed metropolis home. In Warhammer Quest games, a Lord-Castellant is an area affect hero. He can be used to deal damage and stun whole groups of enemies, or a whole party of adventurers. His Castellant’s halberd also deals respectable damage. He’s not fast though, so you’ll need to rely on your comrades to chase down fast enemies (or maybe a loyal four-legged friend…). Archimaine Devoted companion to Arvios Sunhelm, Archimaine is a fierce and loyal Gryph-hound. The two have fought side-by-side for years. Gryph-hounds are always companions, which work like heroes in the game, except they don’t gain renown, gold or artefacts. He is still a deadly ally to have by your side, though, and faster than the other heroes in the box. Alnaryn An Aelven Loremaster of some skill, like many of his kind, Alnaryn can be aloof and arrogant, but his heart is pure and his blade is keen. He watches over the city for the looming threat of Dark Magic, and has foiled many a cultist plot and scheme in the years since the city’s founding. The Loremaster character is skilled in close combat and with ranged attacks. His Hand of Glory magical ability can be used to further enhance his, or another hero’s, skill to super-natural levels. He can even use his preternatural reflexes to deflect arrows with his sword (sometimes)! Golnir Coalbeard All Cogsmiths have a natural affinity for mechanisms and gadgets, but Golnir Coalbeard is a master craftsman even amongst his kind. He fought alongside Arvios Sunhelm to secure the land that the city of Hammerhal is founded upon and was even involved in the initial creation of the city’s vast defences, a task which he continues to improve upon to this day. In the game, Cogsmith’s have a mini-arsenal of weapons to draw from making them very flexible heroes. The Grudge-Raker, in particular, can clear whole rooms of enemies with a bit of luck. His armour also gives him a solid save to deflect enemy blows. Vizrin Kyre A Black Ark Fleetmaster of dread reputation, Kyre is feared by the servants of Chaos across the realms (and probably by a good few in the forces of Order). Both a monster-hunter, and a skilled swordsman, Kyre is ostensibly retired from the adventuring life… The most deadly of the heroes in a close range melee, and afforded protection from enemy missiles by his Sea Dragon Cloak, the Fleetmaster is a formidable addition to the team to round off our party of heroes. So there you have it; those are the heroes that are involved in the story of Warhammer Quest: Shadows over Hammeral, and are included in the box, but they are far from the only models you can use. The game is backward-compatible with any heroes you have from Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower, or the Arcane or Mighty Heroes expansions for that game. All the many heroes from various races that can be unlocked with the Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower Hero Cards are also available to choose from, letting you use your favourite characters from your Warhammer Age of Sigmar armies in Warhammer Quest games. Well, that’s the goodies. Tomorrow, we’ll have another article looking at the villains of the new game – the insidious Chaos followers that dwell beneath the Twin-tailed City… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DynamicCalories Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I wonder, if like with Silver Tower, a little speculation can be done off the back of the heroes. Maybe they've chosen them as these represent the direction of the factions yet to come up: Duardin are allegedly getting this Steamhead stuff - would fit with cogsmith. Then we've had this vague rumour about Deep one worshiping Dark Aelves, that matches up with the Dreadfleet Ark Master, so perhaps the High Aelves are going slightly oriental/martial in styling to give them a fresh style?
