    Yeah from a narrative or lore standpoint having a city that's constantly fighting back against the tide of Skaven/Chaos but still managing to hold on is more interesting to me than the alternative, which is presumably either 'city is destroyed, the end' or it just becomes another Skaven infested ruin.

    That and it would suck to lose a city with a cool name like 'Hel Crown'

    There's something interesting about the Chaos winning the city, that is mentioned in the last update post. The city has a closed realm gate. Maybe Skavens/ Archaon manage to make it work again. But yeah, I would prefer Order winning inside, and Chaos winning outside.

    my proposed manifestation fix is that each manifestation summoned by a wizard reduces the summoner's wizard level by one for as long as it's on the table.  So a double cast wizard becomes a single caster until the manifestation is destroyed or banished, while a single caster would stop being a wizard altogether.  This restriction wouldn't apply to priests - mechanically because prayers just seem weaker than spells right now, but narrativrly because the magic powering the manifestation is being provided by the priest's deity rather than the priest themselves.

    I would combine that with a limitation of summoning each manifestation only once per game.  Once banished or destroyed, they're just gone (unless they have some other ability to come back, like obr's Nightmare Predator).

    I also don't think even mobile manifestations should zone out enemy movement or deployment, nor should they lock enemy units in combat.  The gravetide occupies enough of the board just on its base size.

    regardless of fix, i do think something is needed.  Right now they're a problem, and frankly the game would be better without them altogether.

    They can be unbalanced and problematic, but I think it is interesting that they are part of the game. It is something unique from AoS and IMO we don't have to lose it.

    Either they’re a lot more Skaven players then even GW realized feeling galvanized to play as many games as possible…. Or GW stacked the deck in the rats favor.

    I doubt even 10% of the votes are tied to game results. People just vote based on their preferences most of the time.

    I don't know if this was confirmed or it was rumours so far, but here it is:

    If true that they just show off the multi-part reclusion  then for the Stormcast post-box we got

    • Knight Azyros/Tornus the Redeemed
      • Witness the Arrival of the Winged Knight-Azyros and the Abhorrent Brood Terror - Warhammer Community
    • Lord Relictor
      •  Battle profiles is listed
      • White dwarfs #502 has new lore on them
    • Lord Celestant
      • Battle profiles is listed
    • Multi-part Reclusian
      • FB_IMG_1722003141922.jpg

    that leaves about 5-4 more kits they usually give starting faction

    There a rumor engine pointing towards a knight type hero

    personally What I think they will also show off is

    • Lighting ghiest unit of big elites
    • A knight Ordinator or some kind as a combat engineer (mostly think this because of the Skaventide novel featuring a Ordinator)
    • Lastly a name character centerpiece 

     

    If we have an Ordinator we have a siege machine. One without the other makes no sense, and seeing how so far we only had siege machines in sacrosanct I doubt it.

    This popped up on insta, but the description says “Other than fancy hates, why would YOU join the legions of the everchosen. Comments say this character is a Kurnothi.

    how do we vote for the outside? i don't see anything on the Hel Crown site

    Total War games always have a peak when DLC releases because it comes with major patches and FLC too. Chaos Dwarf DLC was the first DLC that got heavy backlash because it felt like CA was reducing the amount of content while raising the price--it is still a "Mixed" rating on steam. Maybe it did unseat Tomb Kings as the most successful DLC in terms of sales, but it was not received well.

    I think there's a high chance you might be right but I can't find that axe anywhere in the stormcast range, I had a wee look at the questor soulsworn since they are the only other new stormcast I can think of that have 2 handed axes but those have different designs 

    If it comes from something it has to be the Lord Terminos.

    Any rumours regarding the next Warcry setting? Do you guys think that Hel Crown could be it after the Skaven victory?

    Edit: Also, Gloomspite warband maybe sometime soon?

    The next setting is rumoured to be inside Talaxis. We are one year away still from a drastic change like Hel Crown.

    I personally think Hel Crown is the new location for Warcry 3.

    Possible oopsie spotted in the new diorama video? Looks like reclusians might be getting options

    FB_IMG_1722003141922.jpg

    It gotta be from a kit from the follow up wave:

    Lord Terminus con 1 Rememorador Skaventide

    The axe is slightly different. I wonder if that kit has different memorians as well.

    That would be great and it's how the WHFB used to be played (at least in my area) - no special characters was a common limitation. That was a different game, though, with an option to really build your characters to your needs (e.g. you could take a generic High Elf mage and make him almost Teclis-level; try that now!). In AoS, some factions are designed around specific characters (faction engines) and would suffer greatly as a result (OBR, DoK, Lumineth?).  

    Could it be because we are quite early into the game (yeah, I know it is already 9 years, but once all armies have 2-3 waves, it could be easier to do not build around them).
