That sounds awesome. So he'll be trying to find felix who's soul could of been used to forge a stormcast.

I always thought Felix was a bit more of a coward, though I've only read a few of the Bill King novels and not the newer ones.

Oh man. Gotrek and Felix was my second foray into the WHFB world... and to see him come to the Mortal Realms? I have to hear this.

The universe blows up but nobody dies. Is this how following a comic book series feels like?

Only in the same way that Ciaphas Cain is a coward.

So not really - he is pragmatic and not keen on dying but actually very heroic.

Much larger cast, most of whom have not come back.

I mean, everyone did die. Their souls got spat back out and Sigmar made a deal with Dracothian or something like that. Poof. Magic.

OK, so they died, and then lived again. How does that semantic distinction meaningfully affect his point?

THey've experience death and the setting changed. Many of them went through changes, such as Tyrion, Teclis, Malkeith, his mom, Grimnir, and a number of other figures becoming actual gods/demigods. Otherwise the common folk just got rebirthed. THey aren't the same people, only the same souls living new lives and new people.
No where near as comic books are with someone being brought back from the Underworld as the same person with a bit of Death PTSD.

His whiskers twitched again, sending rippling auroras of green-black energy cascading across the skies of the Mortal Realms. There was something coming; its rippling in the smog-ridden miasma of Blight City was unmistakeable. Its was the touch of death - or rather undeath - laced through the arid tang of the desert tomb. Something that sought to contend for same power he himself would rightfully claim

Anyone notice the peculiar adjective previous to the word tomb?

SETTRA LIVES!

Sounds more akin to Thanquol if you ask me.

This is my first real setting reset (I'm not following comics firsthand). I'm a bit confused how either option in your post has appeal.

So all those characters are different. Like, Morathi wears a bra now. Great, why does it have to be Morathi and not a new character that is written specifically for the new setting?

If it's the same character with PTSD, OK, so it's still the same character. Why did we blow up the world again if nothing comes of it?

I don't get it.

Well, he is owed a reign of another 996,000 years, give or take. Just saying.

This isn't the place for such a discussion?

Because people are already familiar with the characters.

They actually have character development now.

Correct, more or less.

Please take the more esoteric aspects of this conversation to the appropriate sub-forum, leaving this thread in the News & Rumors sub-forum to focus on AoS...News & Rumors.

Thanks!

Gotcha. At any rate, if Gotrek is coming back, will Thanquol's series continue? Even after he was beheaded by Archi?

I really want Ulrika to come back.

The way she was handled in Kinslayer was frankly shameful.

Please take the wish-listing/speculation to a different thread.

So Naeve Blacktalon will be £15. A pleasant surprise after the malign portents minis.

Wait, where was that said? I've been waiting to get that model separately. When will she be released?

Think she is a preorder this sat? Or is coming out this week?

She goes up for preorder on Saturday alongside of the Vanguard Start Collecting and the Kharadron Start Collecting.

Be aware that if you're looking at starting a Vanguard themed force? You really are better off grabbing a Blight War+Start Collecting Vanguard set than just buying components individually.

yeah, this is lame.

That's what bother me about the more about AOS. If at least, you want to blow up the Old setting and create a new one, don't do it half assed by importing most of the minis from the old one. (That they still try to sell us old empire humans as regular mortal realms human, more than a thousand years after its destruction, is beyond laughable). It's getting better with each new release, but it is still a much too slow process.

People who played Warhammer Fantasy lost their minds when the game and the setting changed. It was already too much change. Keeping the old armies was an attempt to hold on to some of the player base. If they had squatted everything very few would have tried their game. From what I see in the trends, AOS models are up-scaling. I think in a few years GW will phase out all of the old miniature lines and at any rate, they won't look right compared to the modern sculpts. Same thing is happening in 40k. Deathguard are bigger than previous models and marines are slowly being replaced with Primaris marines.

GIven the end of the first ET book, I've always wanted Settra to come back as a Chaos lord (kind of ironic considering my last post, but humans are strange like that ). Read that according to some BL author, he supposedly killed Kholek and turned on Archaon (lame), but this is not cannon AFAIK

Please stay on topic here - the topic being: The 2018 Age of Sigmar News & Rumors.

Please feel free to start separate threads discussing the finer points of the AoS setting in the appropriate sub-forum.

I just want that one model. Or perhaps two of them, in case I want to convert one into Custodes.

Cool deal then. Just trying to make people aware that the bundle boxes containing Vanguard stuff are a far, far better way to start the force then anything else.
