Sahrial Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 I’m calling it now At the end of the edition they’ll reveal she’s been manipulated by Tzeentch and Khaine was Khorne the whole time, then the scathborn and Morathi will join BoK in chaos, just in time for Umbraneth to be released and get the foot queen joined up with the remaining DoK units, fully splitting the faction and making a bunch of players cry 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not also about the runes... either it is not from this set or it has a decent chunk of work: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they've 3d-printed an undamaged version without the bolts for the scenery (the base of the scenery doesn't look like it's a new kit, so it's custom made).... or, thinking longer about it, it's just from the old Screaming Bell kit, I think that one had a very similar bell design. Which makes more sense than changing the 3d file I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to be the best pose for a mini ever, right after Syll‘Eske or however you spell em! 🙄 … … 😡 That model is quite cool (I mean being aelf they start at least as a 7 of 10 by default rigth?) Personally not a fan of the pyjamas and suspenders look they have migrated towards with Lumineth tho and the official paint scheme certainly doesn't help! Actually like the Vanari units quite a lot and the stone dudes (headswaps assumed) are pretty cool too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forgot a minus in front of that 7 I think. 😎 I think some of them have a good design but I think this particular mini doesn‘t work at all. It‘s simply a horrible concept. Eltharion on the other hand is one of the best AoS minis out there IMO. I like the slightly asian visual design cues on some of them in general but find them to be a mixed bag - some great, some meh…. but those twins, God no, I feel like I‘m actually fair for calling them out. The owl‘s okay obviously by default. 1 hour ago, Flippy said: Syll'Esske actually proves that this concept can work with the right execution. Ellania and Ellathor, on the other hand... I disagree. I like the Xerxes dude but I find the daemonette dancing on him just as dumb as the Lumineth one, sorry. Would‘ve liked it much more if she danced next to him. The Glottkin did make it work, due to the size difference and because they don‘t dance. ☝️🤓 But hey, it‘s my opinion - absolutely inconsequential to anyone that likes those minis. I‘m not the target. If you think the Gaunt Summoner on foot (one of my favorite minis) e.g. sucks, that‘s fine by me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they have a lot to prove those poor aelfs ^^ Agree with you that Eltharion is a very cool concept and was also a fun little hobby project as gave an opportunity to play a bit with LEDs. Also not a big fan of the twins, but for me its more about the style (in particular the girl on top with the loose fitting onepiece suit or whatever it is) than the pose, I do actually think its good that they play around with trying to make more movement be reflected, similar to working with negative space etc (Eltharion), although I would certainly not advocate for making <another dude> to become the new Tactical Rock! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I like how they've added some new design (I'd say Asian) influences to them overall. I find some minis overshot the mark like the twins and the cloud-wizard which are ultimately more comical than cool IMO but others are absolutely great-looking models. Was never bothered by the large helmets personally that were mentioned before, I mean many Chaos helmets aren't any better and Aelves always had tall helmets.

Looks Soulblight, since it’s not in a wretched enough state to be Skaven or Nurgle and the pits probably imply corrosion from age. Probably a redo of the old Grave Guard sculpt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, hey whats wrong with the Dragonball-Z wanna-be cloud rider? He is my favourite Wizard this guy! Im sure all the Tzeentchian pseudo-magic-panhandlers would die for a cloud like that, its sooo fluffy and delightful, lets you literally rain down on your enemies!

OkayestDM Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 (edited) Given that a lot of Lumineth was already revealed during the preview battle, I'm setting my expectations low and assuming that the faction focus will just be a repeat of what we already know. I'll be pleasantly surprised if GW shows us something that hasn't already been seen. Edited June 11 by OkayestDM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
