I apologize in advance for the idle musings: So I have been thinking about Dawnbringers, Warcry and Terrain. It made me think of what I think is really awesome idea. I have been wondering if we would see a Boarding Actions style game and I remember someone mentioning city streets as an alternative to dungeons, mines or caves. I started realizing that much like boarding actions finding its DNA in Space Hulk, a city combat game could find some inspiration from Mordheim.  

Kicking off a new season of Warcry with a Mordheim themed set would be really cool. Update the setting to be in the failed City from Dawnbringers with the terrain including some small Buildings and city scatter. The associated models can be updated Gutter Runners facing off against updated Flagellants. Using Hunter and Hunted as a template we can then see dual box expansions with a larger singular terrain piece with each release giving a new city structure (Abbey, Inn, Blacksmith, Wizard tower etc.). So if you bought the Warcry Starter set or simply the terrain you'd be enticed by each release as a way of expanding on your city much like how Kill Team releases gave you alternate lay outs for your boarding action games. 

Obviously like Boarding Actions and Space Hulk this would not be intended as a remake of Mordheim. Also due to the ties between this hypothetical setting and Dawnbringers I feel like the armies that were featured with minimal updates would all be good candidates for getting warbands in this proposed Warcry Season. Like Boarding actions it could further serve as the basis of its own ruleset for fighting in tight quarters that could easily be adapted for fighting on a ship, or in a stormkeep, dungeon etc. 

Considering that we still have yet to see these buildings I feel like my idea would never pass muster, but I feel like with the introduction of new cities models and the foundation of new Cities means that lots of collectors and gamers would love to get some high quality buildings. 

Back to rumours, I am really hopeful that we get a reveal for the Lady of Ruin and as big a reveal for Flesh Eater Courts that we got for Cities of Sigmar.

Maybe you are in the right way. Just look at all the building options from realms of ruins: Comunidad Steam :: Ejecutor :: Capturas (steamcommunity.com)

And I didn't screenshot them all, just the ones I thought could be interesting to take inspiration from.

Khorne and Tzeentch have had “recent” art but all 4 have Older Art from way back when. I’m very much in the mindset of More is more and would relish a Sigmar model. Unpopular opinion but I would want him in Resin (the real resin) with all the detail and attributes they give the Primarchs - just look at Horus Ascended and Fulgrim, now Imagine what Sigmar could be. If they can portray the Primarchs and the Emperor, they can Portray Sigmar. Horus Heresy got Horus, and Lord of the Rings got Sauron, Age of Sigmar is missing out 😂

If it is going to be 250 € like Fulgrim, better to do not release him!

I play at max difficulty and prob would reduce it a bit. At campaign 6 I feel I am facing swarms of Tyranids instead of Krules.

Downgraded to medium dificulty and it has been a walk... so I migth go with hard  to see if it is a point where I feel challenged but not overloaded

This feels more Nurgle than FEC. WHU?

It does, indeed, but if you look at the borders it is looking more FEC with some bones, so it looks like a we would get a mix of both?

Yeah I'm never reading another PCGamer review if this is their seal of quality. His review was a joke flecked with massive prejudice against the setting. I'll bet my salary that the dude knows zero-to-nothing about AoS. Why the hell would you give the AoS game to someone who vehemently hates AoS? 

This is also happening with some Spanish reviews... we still have the stigma...

Played a bunch of campaign and conquest last night.

I'm still not really feeling the "slowness" of campaign though conquest was noticeably speedier for roaming units between objectives. however, I still got my butt kicked in campaign because the AI can micro a lot better. dropping conquest to easy was a bit more manageable (so far). TBH i'm not sure how i'll fare with increased speed on normal/medium!

there will probably be some patches to help unit responsiveness, some of the movement can get stuttery. people complaining about melee units standing around getting shot either forgot or don't know RTS games do that. however, a physical minimap notification for fights happening would help IMO. there's AUDIO cues but when multiple things happen at once they can get lost like in real battles.

Depends on if the Prime is going to be featured heavily in lore or not. I think it would make sense to update the model wielding THE Warhammer sooner rather than later. If we don't see thunderstrike Prime yet, I definitely think we'll be seeing thunderstrike Vandus though.

What about his Spear. Do you think it would have more presence as well? Maybe give it to another of his top tier Stormcast?

I'm excited by the tomb king release, if only to have access to the sphinx, stalkers and necropolis knights (the necrosphinx being in my top five minatures ever made).

I am ready to be dissapointed, based off the Bretonnian preview, that we are unlikely to see an updated settra, queen, tomb scorpion, screaming skull catapult, casket of souls, bone giant or carrion.

I really hope the very very aged skeleton warriors and chariots are updated. I do not feel they stand the test of time and were already outdated 20 years ago (unlike the Bretonnian men at arms, bowmen and knights).

Would be interesting to see what is released, likely a new liche priest.

Imo TOW is not about renewing much minis, but about putting the old ones back for sale.

[Do Horror Unending (warscroll battalion) and Nexus of Death Energy (mortis engine) stack, or do they override each other?]

If there's a batallion where you can include a Mortis Engine, yes.

I've done a quick search and doesn't seem to be one that accepts it. There's one that accept Corpse Cart (which is the closest batallion whise in terms of a big thingy), but its keywords are different from the Mortis Engine.

 In order to have inspiration I've screenshoted all the buildings/ items I thought could be interesting to take inspiration from Realms of Ruin:

https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198048667112/screenshots/?appid=0&sort=newestfirst&browsefilter=myfiles&view=imagewall&privacy=8

There's some interesting ones, like the well or the area with plants.

Just as a warning... PCGamer's reviewer straight up hates AOS as a setting, so expect weird bias against the game extremely effing disappointing how much people still aren't over End Times.

Who cares about reviews? We would enjoy the game no matter what they say!

PD: Just finished the first two campaign levels on max difficulty with all the extra objectives 🤭

honestly if more Warhammer fans could get over themselves and see RoR as a fantasy successor to DOW1, there'd be less complaining. Really glad to see Venris and GBOG enjoying the game. I got the ultimate edition for 17% off from fanatical.com and am now PATIENTLY waiting to receive my early access key today!!!

I just received mine. It is installing!

I think the reason might be also that their usual Spanish translation was awful.

It seems that GW is looking for a Spanish translator. I think that it could be because the massive spam from spanish people to see TOW in their language.

If that's the case, everybody wins. Warhammer Fantasy is one of the most beloved games in spain and pretty sure that the community will be bigger if they release the game in spanish.

Wow! Thayt's pretty good news! Do you have the source?

It could also be that if they get an army set revealed at the preview that's what goes up for pre-order a week or two after. I think some army sets in the past have had some pretty pretty quick turn arounds from reveal to pre-order If I'm remembering correctly.

I think that's the most likely scenario. Yes. Maybe we don't see the full range, but some minis and the army box announced.

 Do you mean that some youtuber/influencer received already the battletome for the review? 

We can ask our trusted @Elarin if he knows the next release schedule after imperialis

I think that's the case, yeah. If I am not wrong Nezzhil is part of 'La Voz de Sigmar'. Correct me if I am wrong.

If it's this Sunday that would surely be the record for shortest time from preview show reveal to release?

Trugg was also released the next weekend after it was shown in the preview, or Ionus. We are lately on fire!

to me is a -10/10 ugliest miny never done by gw, i only feel gross when i see it,usually when i see minis i want feel proud of see something epic and no this.

 

i guess for people that like gore is good,here in my club everyone think ugliest mini of gw never released

Th whole point of FEC is goreness in some way. Even if you don't like how it ended, if you know their lore, you have to admit is an smart approach.

I was wondering how the wig would be interpreted to those outside of the UK and Oz. For one I love it, its quintessentially British.

Wasn't also quite a French thingy? Its name (acording to google) is Sartine, which comes after a french politician, so I don't think it is that hard to understand. Specially considering everyone has seen a movie/serie where one or another is using it.

Yeah, I think it will be "all old minis are back at the same time" and you will have to wait only for the new kits

GW recently had lot of stock/ production problems. I think it would be a phased launch starting just with Bretonia and TK and slowly including more factions.
