The bird thing is called a Vulcharc. They're drawn to magic users and feast on their magic energies.

Warhammer Tv just posted a teaser for disciples of Tzeentch with another piece of Loc art, just in case anyone doubted a new model is coming.

Don't doubt that its coming but I don't think that's a LoC as it doesn't have any arms. Looks to me more like the bird that one of the previewed Arcanites is carrying?

For sure a possibility, but I bet the LOC* box will come with several options, and this may be one of them.

I know he's a Lord of Change but I doubt he'd shed his arms. More likely to be art for the bird thing the Acolytes have.

**unmercifulconker**

Yeah its defo that birdy that the acolyte sends out.

**GoatboyBeta**

Anybody else get Spire of dawn through the webstore? Mine arrived yesterday but it was in a generic white GW box. Guess they really did underestimate demand if they didn't have enough boxes ready.

From Tumblr, the finished Khorne dragon that was shown at the AoS event a while ago (at the open day today):

That's awesome. Wish I'd not backed the Creature Caster Kickstarter now :(.

Didn't we all already regret backing?

Well, yes. But it rings true when you see better quality stuff from other folks.

Waaaay better name than the German one: Mageier. a REALLY bad pun on magic and Geier ( = vulture). It sounds like one of those filler Pokemon nobody uses after catching them.

Other stuff from Jan WD: The acolytes can freely mutates/shapeshift from fat merchant to thin scholar to those impossibly muscled war-forms, one of the Gaunt Summoners posed as Sigmar's chief architect during the founding of the Great Cities, building them on some super evil stone (Reichstein, so, Realm Stone?) which makes corrupting the inhabitants easier.

**Bottle**

Cool fluff tidbit. Yeah Realmstone has been mentioned a few times now - it's what powers Greywater Fastness.

**VeteranNoob**

Dat dragon, finally done-ish.

**Carnikang**

But why a Khorne Dragon and not a Slannesh dragon? Or A Death dragon?

**Crimson Devil**

Khorne sells models.

Woa, that's a big deal fluff wise. Did it say just 'great cities' or was it referring to the 'Seeds of Hope' from the global campaign?

As a sidenote, Realmstone seems to be like Warpstone only while the latter has an innate connection to Chaos and nothing good will ever come of it, Realmstone seems to be 'neutral' magic that is only as evil as it's wielders.

From the White Dwarf article:

THE SEEDS OF CORRUPTION

From their very foundation, the Cities of Sigmar were marked and tainted by Tzeentch’s touch. One of the Master of Fortune’s most cunning minions, the Daemon known as the Changeling, posed as the master architect of the Cities of Sigmar, siting the new settlements on pockets of realmstone to accelerate the corruption of their inhabitants. To compound its treachery, the Changeling fostered hundreds of new cults dedicated to Tzeentch across the realms.

I find this tidbit more interesting though...

ETERNAL SCHEMING

There is not a part of the Mortal Realms that has not been touched by the cunning talon of Tzeentch. Whilst the Slaves to Darkness stalk the wastelands in his name, Kairic covens are to be found in mortal tribes and Cities of Sigmar, the seeds of treachery planted with their very foundation. Places of arcane power have been corrupted into twisted flux-cairns by the Tzaangor warflocks, and even the daemonic legions of Tzeentch have sallied forth to fulfil the impossible plots of the Architect of Fate. To many of the Mortal Realms, these actions seem random and unconnected, but not to the God-King, Sigmar. Upon his throne in Sigmaron, Sigmar has discerned a pattern in the madness and has realised that the Changer of Ways is working a mighty spell – although to what end alludes even noble Sigmar.

**Bottle**

So I guess the great cities it mentions were ones built in the Age of Myth and have already fallen to Tzeentch?

**Hulksmash**

No, I think the timeline jumped a bit. These are the new cities that were founded at the end of the campaign. It might be why we do t see many mortal characters.

**Bottle**

Yeah that could be true, it already zoomed forward several decades for Season of War to establish all the cities we fought over.

Well they did mention in the stream the story going on in the book is our fault due to the season of war campaign.

SEEE guys this is why you should of let nagash the god of spooky into your heart that way you would of been more safe from chaos.

**NinthMusketeer**

TBF the Realms are Wars seem to have taken several decades, though an exact length hasn't been stated to my knowledge. At the very least the realm of life campaign in the godbeasts book is stated to have taken years, and that is just one campaign which we know came both after and before others that presumably took similar lengths.

"Mageier .."

"Mage Eier"

"Mage balls"

Worst name I've ever seen.

**DarkBlack**

Looks like the changeling will stay at least.Would be nice to have um...the Changeling in plastic.

It is a terribly useful plot device.

Yes and if you remove one e from Mageier you get Magier = mage. They can be really strange with the localisation. I still remember how they translated leadership value into Moralwert ("moral value") which didn't help avoiding confusionin WHFB when you have a leadership test and a moral test (which are different) but you end up with Moralwerttest and Moraltest in german and people got things switched around if they didn't read carefully :/

Sounds almost as confusing having wounds (as in HP), wounds (rolled) and wounds inflicted (damage) as different things.

City of Secrets

A Legends of the Age of Sigmar novel

In the city of Excelsis, in the heart of the Realm of Beasts, Corporal Armand Callis of the city watch stumbles upon a dark secret and finds himself hunted, with just a witch hunter for companionship.

READ IT BECAUSE

It's an in depth look at life in a city of the Mortal Realms coupled with a rip-roaring tale of action and adventure, not to mention a most intriguing mystery, as you might expect of the City of Secrets…

THE STORY
Excelsis is the city of secrets, a grand and imposing bastion of civilisation in the savage Realm of Beasts. Within its winding streets and shadowy back alleys, merchants deal in raw prophecy mined from an ancient fragment of the World That Was, and even the poorest man may earn a glimpse of the future. Yet not all such prophecies can be trusted. When Corporal Armand Callis of the city guard stumbles upon a dark secret, he finds himself on the run from his former comrades, framed for a crime he did not commit. Only the Witch Hunter Hanniver Toll knows the truth of his innocence. Together the pair must race against time to save Excelsis from a cataclysm that would drown the city in madness and fear.

The link does not work but FINALLY I have my wish a book with a witch hunter character. Honestly I do think we will see quite a bit of the devoted of sigmar in this plot line. I do think we are at the fleshing out stage a story centered on two humans, I do think with the white dwarf image and this book I feel devoted of sigmar are somewhere in the pipe. The excelsior war priest from the sliver tower and they have been mentioned more than the free people.

Part of their job is to keep this stuff from happening and keeping faith in sigmar strong in the cities.

**Requizen**

Ooh, that looks neat. As much as I love Stormcast, I'm glad to see more books where they aren't the focal point. Plus, Tzaanuary hype!

**Nostromodamus**

That Tzaangor looks like he's posing for an artist.

Put some fething dynamism in there...

Yeah the book just reminded me I had a witch hunter in my devoted of sigmar force he has killer rules against wizards, now I am not sure about doing a tzeentch army but finishing off my devoted of sigmar since I assume there will be a lot of people playing it, I am still going to grab the tome though.

The book is up on new titles the link is not working I think they may have trouble getting it up or it went up too early.
