I know people are split on Valrak, but I put a lot of stock into what he's been saying about 10th. Interesting that he went out of his way to talk about Cities of Sigmar. I understand the concern that he could be mixing them up with Seraphon (he clearly doesn't care about the game). I don't necessarily think a launch box for Cities is completely out of the question. Leagues of Votann were announced on April 1st and came out around September. This could be a similar timeframe, though of course their army box was revealed much closer to release. Maybe it's a Sisters of Battle type situation where the launch box comes out significantly earlier than the rest of the range. But I guess the most incongruous thing about such an announcement is that a lot of us are expecting a Seraphon army box as well. Announcing two army boxes of Age of Sigmar seems like a stretch. Are we still expecting a Seraphon reveal next Monday? Or will it be saved for Adepticon? I just went and listened to Valrak's LVO stream again during the Seraphon reveal and he claimed both them and Cities of Sigmar were getting new army boxes. Not sure what that's worth but interesting that this isn't a totally new claim... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Klatz Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 (edited) I’m liking Dante, rocking the Angel armor down to the detailed engraved feet like a Dark Souls boss. Between him and the new guard commander Solar- - I really like the shining angelic direction they’re taking. Hopefully it funnels over to the Cities and we get some elite royal Azyrite guards based on the sentinel statues Would be great for a unique looking human and aelven* variety of elites that travel down to safeguard settlements that managed to become bustling cities and bastions of Order that need them on guard duty with their celestial magics. *(they look Aelven enough to double as that and it’d fit the lore as important Azyr places like the celestial city ring around Mallus was built by Sigmar, Grungni and Tyrion) And of course I’d love the next wave of Stormcast Eternals to get some of that Dante drip for bigger and scarier looking angel figures. (The angelic wall guardian at the 12 minute mark ^ ) So much to hope for! Fingers crossed this Adepticon and following months up to AoS4 blows us away like Sigmar’s Tempest! ⛈ ☄️ Edited March 16, 2023 by Baron Klatz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gitzdee Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 40 minutes ago, Clan's Cynic said: A Cities box is definitely possible with how messed up some of the released schedules are. Presumably GW didn't plan on Votann, Guard and World Eaters to release within three months of one another, but that happened. The time between the Votann Army Box and Cadia Stands(!) wasn't long. Seeing a Seraphon and Cities box almost on top of one another wouldn't be the weirdest occurrence, especially if they want them out before 40k 10th. That's assuming Seraphon are even getting an Army Box, of course - in which case it makes Cities even more likelier to show up this side of Summer. Just want to add that we are talking about new CoS for quite some time now. More than Seraphon or any other army at this moment. I dont think its weird if they finally show us some models at all.

GrimDork Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 I almost can’t believe the guy painted Dante! If that had been me, he would’ve been on eBay immediately!! I’m pretty sure it could fund my hobby for the rest of the year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that for real? Neither the attachment nor his position looks natural. What is he doing with his right leg? Maybe it's just the angle... but I don't think so. Weak model, baloon Kaharadrons or Gossamid Archers do the "flying" part much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like the loincloth looks off and the "sliding" pose isn't working completely. Perhaps it would be better to readjust the feet and just let him stay on the ground instead of doing an M.Bison.

The hobgrots armor and weapons do not at all match the rest of the Kruleboy line, and they even have grenades. Who knows when they're coming, but they definitely are.

No idea 😕 He’s definitely landing. He is moving in the direction he is looking which is indicated by the movement of his loincloth and the purity seal. I think it’s a decent model but not a great one. That said I’m not a fan of the old one either. If anyone had any doubt, this pretty much confirms that the Lion is also on the way. Every other character model that Valrak mentioned in the earlier rumour has been revealed. I’m still skeptical about Cities appearing at Adepticon simply because a preview at Warhammer Fest for an autumn launch seem much more likely. Some of Valrak’s source are definitely reliable when it comes to upcoming minis but would they know about the contents of a preview show? I hope he’s right though as Cities are by far the product I’m most curious to see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just FYI im not anti AI just pro-human. I find it absolutely fascinating to say the least and it will do amazing things... but if you want something very particular (like a certain art piece/design/story), it can never replace a person, not even in a couple of years. Thing is, you gotta be good at what you do in order to be better than an AI but if you are, then you'll have a job as it will never create things in the same manner as a human mind will. Let's say you got a particular armor design - the AI could make one, perhaps it would look better or the quality of the sketch is higher than yours but it will never get those exact shapes you want. I think AI could help concept artists by filling in details or giving them ideas though or even creating pre-"sketches". It's a tool. Just make sure your name isn't John Connor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
