Neil Arthur Hotep Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 My Cities hype is also still very high. I don't know what it is about them, but I feel GW really managed to do something special with these guys. The only complaint I have is that I wish they had a better faction name and logo. Not a fan of the cool S everywhere. 5 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like cities a lot. I mainly want to argue about Vanilla. Proper vanilla is an absolutely delicious flavour they too often is used to mean plain. It really isn't. Some places use it to mean unflavoured but those places are just wrong and there is special rung of help for them. If you have just milk ice-cream, sure. Just don't call it vanilla unless it actually contains vanilla extract. Or I guess at least artificial vanilla since you can synthese it pretty well. 2 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, ever fantasy depiction of humans looks generic if you are unfamiliar with it. Cities actually have some fun stuff going on. It's just a bit harder to notice than the in-your-face weirdness of OBR or LRL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ejecutor Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Btw, about the mixed races cities being unique, I think some other companies are starting/ will start to explode that niche. For example, Warcrow recently launched and they indeed have something like CoS where they mix humans, dawis and elves: Hegemony of Embersig (warcrow.com) And this other faction could be pretty similar to a dispossessed new look: Mounthaven (warcrow.com) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think our best chance at regular dwarfs is in COS as a mixed unit, or a unit brought into the same design as the rest. Fyreslayers and KO are very different for Dwarfs, and GW seems to be moving away from the generic fantasy stuff. Right now the only generic fantasy esque armies are regular mawtribes and COS Dark Elves and Dwarfs. Shadow Elves for DOK will help move away from DE, and COS Ironweld style Dwarfs will help solidify baseline Dwarfs in the setting. Then they can go in the opposite direction with Chaos Dwarfs. I think they might lean into the bright colors like Fantasy Chaos Dwarfs and less of the Legion of Azhorg FW copper and brass look. That copper and brass, fully armored look is already owned by KO.

SilentSentinel Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Possibly the wrong thread for this question but on the topic of CoS, what would a possible colour scheme for Verdigris look like? I still haven’t gotten around to painting the CoS army set which I was originally going to paint as Misthaven but the survival of Verdigris at the end of the dawnbringers storyline has me somewhat inspired to paint them up as Verdigris instead of Misthaven.

I'd imagine it to be mainly green like Living City/Hammerhal Ghyra, maybe with some water iconography (Verdigris reminds me of water for some reason), with slightly rusted/verdigrised metals. Hope we get a colour scheme for it whenever the new BT comes out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Cities a lot too - you know, lots of people love Game of Thrones (well, before Dumb & Dumber ruined the ending a bit) and if you like that particular brand of fantasy, then CoS seem fitting. To be honest, I had the hardest time with Kharadron OVs as they seem a bit too modern for me but then I thought about how much I love stuff like Final Fantasy 6 or 7 where fantasy meets sci-fi and it works. But frankly, we got so many cool forces that there is little point in saying any of them have no place in it because they're too out there or too boring.

No, this is exactly the right thread for this! I guess "Verdigris" would use a color associated with actual verdigris. So a green or teal color. Perhaps something similar to Vindicarum? They got a dark teal and bronze with Verdigris... Could work well with purple-ish accents too, seeing how they got a realmgate to Shyish.

Literally Verdigris? Lolz. To me would be weird having a city that shares a name with a colour and not using it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I enjoy a relaxed rumour thread as much as you but since some users want the rumour thread to be just what the name implies and no general fun, I thought this thread could serve as a compromise. Here we can go off-topic whenever we please and it won‘t annoy any mod who has to reprimand us to stay on topic. Y‘know, it‘s worth a try, if it doesn‘t work - that‘s cool too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I guess it would help to mirror news items or rumours in this thread once something new comes up (like tomorrow when we get another faction preview) and discuss these here in more detail so that the rumour thread doesn't get spammed and post a reminder there to discuss the latest news more deeply in here. It's not a perfect solution but it the best I could think of. I don't think people want to check multiple threads, so having a huge "spam" thread could work. I've seen that on various other forums where people started to love a more relaxed topic for everything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m gonna keep an eye on it and chime in when I feel like it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
