No, no, don't you know that the new art always sucks! Because new art lacks nosta- erm, soul or something!!

But seriously that's some nice art.

They are nice!

No Tempest's Eye. Love the artwork.

Here are some images that were shown before. Sorry for the quality. The top one is supposed to be Tempest's Eye and the bottom one is supposed to be Anvilgard.

Hey! When did they stop selling the remake of Island of Blood?

must be fairly recent as they've still got stock in the USA/Canada and AUS/NZ

(or it could they're waiting for replacement stock or that it's still there but the shops just not showing it?)

Firestorm: Matched Play Rules Update

Since the release of Firestorm, lots of you have been in touch with your thoughts and questions on how these new rules interact with matched play games. Most of you had some great points (maybe there *is* something a little frustrating about a Vanguard Wing instantly surrounding one’s army before crushing them on a 5+) which has helped the Studio make two tweaks to the Great Cities allegiance abilities and ensure they work as originally intended and are better balanced for competitive play.

The Great Cities allegiance abilities are still legal for matched play and still don’t cost any points. The only change is that you won’t be able to stack the allegiance abilities from Firestorm with any others apart from the Grand Allegiance abilities. For instance, a force of Dispossessed could either choose the Dispossessed allegiance abilities from the General’s Handbook 2017 OR the Order allegiance abilities and the Hammerhal allegiance abilities. They could not take the Dispossessed and Hammerhal allegiance abilities together.

The armies of the Great Cities were always meant to represent the combined strength of the vast diaspora of the Mortal Realms working together to use advanced strategies, rather than simply providing free bonuses to already-established factions. This means you’ll be rewarded for taking a lore-appropriate, thematic force.

We’re also lifting the painting restrictions on using these allegiance abilities. You’re now free to use the Firestorm rules for the Great Cities with colour schemes and cities of your own invention, so get creative! Our Free Cities generation tables are a great place to start, and we’ve just published some of our favourite armies from around the office to inspire your own creations.

The only restriction on painting is that an army that has been specifically painted to represent one Great City cannot use the rules of another – so a force wearing the colours of Hallowheart, for instance, couldn’t use the rules of Anvilgard, and vice versa.

These rules also apply to other factions with specific heraldry. For example, you could use the rules for Barak-Zilfin with a Kharadron Skyport of your own invention, but you couldn’t use them with an army painted in the colours of Barak-Urbaz.

And that’s it!

A fast response, Twitter and forums exploded with all this "Paint scheme=Rules" debate

And nobody saw it coming.

A good move by GW, this puts those allegiance abilities in a position to be used instead of banned.

It still creates the kind of odd situation where most general Order armies get more allegiance abilities than the other alliances. It would be nice for equality's sake if the other alliances got some more of these.

I have ask them, they said Spire of Dawn will return.

That'd be excellent. Need to get some Swordmasters and Spireguard.

Eh... They also come with extra restrictions too (even if the one for Hammerhal is nearly non-existent). Also note that many faction-specific allegiances still retained the grand alliance one as well (Ironjawz, FEC, etc.). Having more options is fine as long as those options aren't stronger than the others. And considering how lackluster generic Order allegiance is to start with...

But to be clear I don't think the situation is ideal. Particularly that the rules only come in a very niche supplement yet are for everyone. Hopefully GW will make just the allegiance available separately in the app.

Everybody asleep or quit AoS?

New Chaos hero previewed.
I hope we'll see a whole range of new Marauders in the future.

The question is, this miniature is for a new AoS army? one of the 4 heroes for each faction? or a new hero to warhammerquest (in WD said next month is warhammerquest)?

It should be for Chaos in general. Back at NoVa they announced "Four" heroes for each of the Grand Alliances.

Might also be something with rules in shadespire and AoS.

As much as I may poo-poo all the fantasy models that portray half-nude women seemingly for the sake of it, this model gives me such a full-on Conan the Barbarian feel I give it a complete pass!

Plus the paintjob is really a great one compared to some of the recent models.

Looks nice. I need one to keep my Silver Tower barbarian company. I hope it's not too long until release.

The best male analogue here would be the chief from silver tower who has a similar lack of coverage, so I don't see it as a problem. I agree that is has a great barbarian vibe and an ace paintjob.

I post about 40k on Dakka, about AoS mainly on TGA where’s there’s more and better discussion. New model looks good!

She’s his boss, so yeah they have the same tailor!

Sweet! I need a new General. Hopefully we'll eventually get some more models for the Slaves to Darkness.

There was mention of a dark power rising in the same post, anyone know any more?

It is Nagash. He is pissed at Sigmar for stealing his souls. This is a storyline that has building since the beginning. I am looking forward to seeing where it goes.
By the way Phil Kelly will be on warhammer live talking aos background today. Hopefully we will get a few new tidbits.

Does anyone have a link to the original post that had that pic?

Hello everyone !!

-Stormcast : become less and less human. Glitch in the reforging, the flaw. Each Stormhost have a different flaw.
Ie : hammer of sigmar : get lightning from eyes and stuff.
Hollowed knight : Glow, driven by vengeance, but get diluted, forgot memory and become a storm warrior fighting the chaos.

Dhorgar (archeon steed) can kill SC permently. (few other magic axe/sword).

Overtime the SC rules will represent flaw in the reforging.

-Hammer of sigmar : poster boy front line.
-hallowed knight : Zealot, worhsip sigmar really hard. So pure, evil magic work less on them.
-Astral Templar : Uncivilised, barbaric, Recruited from jungle. Big on killing big monster. They don't really fear, the bigger the foe the more they want to kill hom. They are the big game hunter.
-Celestial vindicator : Almost berzeker, on the brink of death they want strengh and are driven by rage/hate. They want revenge (hinted that their flow are becoming more more and more hatefull).
-Celestial warbringer : Tribe that can see their own death ! So they are quite fearless cuz they know when their death is. They are warrior mystic.
-hammer of hammerhal : Previoussly death warrior rezed as Stormcast.
-Lion of sigmar : In dev, big on lightining fast strike and big roar (not much investment for now)

No dwarf storm cast anytime soon.

Celestant prime stay shrouded in mystery, but when he smite someone there a small chance to redeem him and send the soul in azyr. (they even made a few new sc)

Neave Black talon : Assassin, knight zephyros, unstopoble , living whirlwind. Rivalreay with slimax the deamon. She's to uncompromising, too quick to jump to conclusion

Angrad Brightshield : Classic liberator, stuck in Shadespire, very skilled in defense.

He then give a recap of the first season (Finding ghal maraz, God beast, all gate war). They have years of story in front of them.

Cities : 3 big one, (industry, living one, mystic one) all in the realm of life. Hammerhall in fire/life (no reveleation) just an enumeration of different cities. They have invested lot of time on them (with the box set), they even want to dev some politics aspect.

Redeem guy(chaos worshiper reforged) should not fall in chaos again.

More female Stormcast are coming !

Nothing exceptional but still a great interview.

So now Stormcast have Geneseed Flaws? I mean... bah. It doesn't have a point to pretend anymore they are any different

(Joking guys, I know they are much more interesting because they are humans with emotions!)

While a good summary for people interested in fluff, this isn't actually news since all of it save 'no dwarfcast coming soon' is covered in previous releases. The whole deal with the Stormcast reforging flaws was covered in their battletome from months ago, Archaeon perma-killing Stormcast was in the All-Gates campaign book, the rest is from their respective releases.

Ones interested in killing big enemies? Super pissed ones? Oi, sounds like Space Wolves (without the ugly look) and Death Company to me!
