I have no interest in Thalia, and since I run a Hammer Ghyra army, I'd rather use a generic hero on monster then a named character. 

Makes even less sense to use her in a Lethis or Misthaven army.

Nothing to do with Thalia per se but I generally hate that so many of the super special characters pop up in way too many games. I really would like to see more of our own heroes personally (something for the next edition perhaps?) ….or make the GW created heroes less „mandatory“ to take. 
 

 

Yeah, I like Thalia for a painting project, but I really dislike that AoS is so special character focussed. Imo, you should still be able to use a generic marshal on a big beast when CoS receives its battletome

CoS currently has the battlemage/ marshal on griffon and Dreadlord and Sorceress on Black dragon. If they remove these options, they should replace it with newer sculpts or another kind of big creature.

Good news then- Curselings aren’t a unique person, they’re just a dude with a Tzeentchian parasite. 

Oh wow I didn't now that was the case in AoS am I misremembering the Curseling being unique in Old World?

it is pretty funny how AOS generalized a few character models from WHFB, I do think that once enough AOS-specific names are created we will see more generic heroes.

It depends from army to army. I mean, fyreslayers have 0 and Kharadrons 2... and none of them are big centerpieces. 

Common GW, just release a secons wave for both armies...

Of all the minis for Ogors I wanna see updated, the Yehtees are one of the ones I want to see most. Especially after seeing how incredible the Gorgers turned out!!

I'll be surprised if Fyreslayers don't receive at least one whenever their second wave drops, whether that's Bael-Grimnir finally getting a unique model or a named Magna Queen.

Tzeentch is particularly great for this, as you can develop heroes that put on the guise of the Curseling or Ahriman with their spellcraft for some complex scheme.
 

Oh, our „problem“ regarding this is Kairos - most well known character and definitely the best named one (sorry, Changeling, but you‘re a funny pick at best and terrible at worst) to use in DoT at the moment…. Kairos is basically one of those models that whole armies and playstyles revolve around, basically one of the best negative examples one could think of. :)

Don‘t - Wizards of The Coast* (not associated with your local Tzeentch cult funnily enough) might sue you if you pick Neverwinter.

Doesn't anyone find it weird that keeping the game showing up in NOVA vague? like only announcing the game that presumably are getting roadmaps

NOVA Incoming Aug19 Promo ALT

Not really. They can still announce it next week in the "previews to the preview". And if not, that will incite people to go watch it just in case.

After all, if you say which game will have news, it's obvious people who aren't interested by these games will simply skip it.

GW is constantly adapting depending on what worked and what didn't in their past shows.

Back with more rumors from the underworlds. I'm not good with emojis so I'll provide some verbal teasers instead.

- already previously shared that of course rats and the golden boys will be facing off

- a character will be lugging his "potbelly" around

- rawr

- evil gimlis aren't the only "herald" of something new we'll see; in fact there is a "herald" tie in with two other coming warbands

There's a couple other things in the pipeline - 1 chaos, 1 destruction

Thank you so much! Can we expect an announcement at NOVA?

Sometimes the crystal ball provides clarity in some areas but not others. My own personal speculation is how could we not but maybe they're no longer married to the existing release model of a box in October and April.

More heralds? Might there be something fishy going on?

Sounds great, I really liked the game in the beginning, but lost it after all those card expansions. I always loved the Underworlds warbands for painting projects and for use in AoS as unit champions/characters.

That  sounds absolutely great ! 
 

So it’s could be :

New starter set Skaven vs Stormcast ( as usual)

Ogre warband ( potbelly)

Slaanesh warband ( rawr)

Chorfs warband ( evil gimlis)

Herald new faction warband (???)

Chaos warband

Destruction warband

So 8 warbands in total 👍

Btw, not exactly sure how to react to the rumours of a FOURTH skaven underworlds warband that is confirmed to go to Legends.

 

...

 

Oh, who am I kidding. Id buy anyways.

But yes, if I had to choose, Id prefer Warcry.
