Freemeta Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 first mention of a Fyrequeen in lore? really hope they expand on this theme (and keep Valaya for disposeded or chaos dwarf). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vasshpit Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 (edited) Every time one of the faction focus articles drop there is a lot of "Seems weaker, it was nerfed" The sky isn't falling. Are we starting to see the overall theme yet? 😉 Edited June 3 by Vasshpit 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Arthur Hotep Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 3 minutes ago, Clan's Cynic said: The current Runefather On Magmadroth model is aging pretty gracefully, so I don't see it being replaced anytime soon. I bet they just put that in there to vindicate people who want to convert the rider to represent one. They set up something for Fyreslayers in Dawnbringers, with that Bael Grimnir story. I think the mention of Fyrequeens might be foreshadowing for new units they are planning to introduce later. I would not be surprised if we finally saw a 2nd wave for Fyreslayers this edition, at least. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragest Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 The dwarf mechanics (KO and FS) are amazing. Funny, strong and versatile. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarakUrbaz Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Magmaqueens have been mentioned since like the 2nd Edition battletome. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been mentioned before in various places, including Soulbound, Grombrindal's stories and the second edition BT. I believe they went by Magmaqueens for a while, but more recently they've settled on Fyrequeen (which I think is the less original title personally). 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be expanded for sure. We had female minis, this mention... next BT (and presumably the next wave) will be full of queens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Red King Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 The model on the hearthguard berserker scroll is hilarious. Maybe it's just the angle but he looks like a wobbly little baby man in a diaper. 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OkayestDM Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Aside from Stormcast, I think this is the first army we've seen with elite attack profiles featured prominently. How the FS units are pointed is going to have a significant imact on how good they are. With such low saves, they should theoretically cost less than Stormcast, meaning you'll be fielding a lot more. It looks like they have the tech to become fairly tanky as well, but we won't know for sure one way or the other until the index comes out.

No different to what we've already seen so far. It's basically just a marketing video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutton Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 I find it interesting how Fyreslayers get 5 Once Per Game awesome abilities that are truly potent and work automatically. And some eating-based armies get a single Once Per Game ability that does almost nothing and does literally nothing 33% of the time. Hmmm...HMMM... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excessive consumption of ale, perhaps? the warcry warband was really good, I'm sorry to the naked duardin enjoyers but they look better with a little bit more on. The fyreslayer berserkers and hearthguard kits have aged really poorly imo, the paintjob isn't doing massive favours either, if they were less pasty then the orange would stand out better imo. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
