The people you game with would demand you use official Citadel woods?

Heroes, that Sigmar saved from certain doom via killing them with a lightning strike. He than reforged their bodies into immortal beings and clad them in Sigmarite armour.

So Thousand Son's with Skeletons inside?

Don't know anything about TS, but Stormcast Eternals still have a body, they are not just skeletons. Just... "reforged". Whatever that means. I think it's the easy way for GW to say every reforged body look the same, so they don't have to produce different models for various races and genders.

In the "Gates of Azyr" novella, the main character (the lord riding the mount from the starter) takes off his helmet to speak to a normal human. The description was very much along the lines of what a Space Marine is like compared to a normal human.

They are tieing-in the lore of warhammer and 40k. would nt be surprised if the sigmarines are actually the first sons of the emperor and the ancestors to what the space marines have become.

It also makes sense that the game system is leanig towards the 40k playstyle. Might be a move on gw part to try and do what their competition is doing with stuff like warma/hordes where the fantasy setting can play vs the more futuristic warmachine setting.

Welll...remember that with "each reforging, a Stormcast becomes less of what they were".

What that means is anyone's guess.

If the forces of destruction don't get fallen Sigmarine I will be sad. They could make an entire faction and call Chaos Sigmarines! Totally new and totally original! You heard it here first.

You realize that "Forces of Destruction" don't even include Chaos, right?

did nt you know that the next figurines to come out are dark elves mounted on flying sharks with laser beams.

Seriously, Sigmar is the real evil here.... Slanessh gone? Oh no. Just altered.

Takes the hero's of the various realms and turns them into mindless killing machines that kill again and again and agian until they loose their minds entirely? Such Order its evil!

If someone had said a year ago that they were scrapping WFB so they could introduce a Space Marine army into Fantasy, that person would have been laughed off the boards. Yet, here we stand in a GW world where anything is possible.

Kinda sounds like they're giving themselves a way to make Chaos Sigmarines a possibility, doesn't it?

I distinctly remember the reactions people had in January this year, when rumors first bloomed of the game being completely redone. People laughed away Sigmarines, round bases, and a number of other changes as things GW would never do to Fantasy.

Honestly, it sounds more like they're giving themselves a way to make sure that they aren't a possibility.

From the brief description that is used about the reforging for slain/fallen Stormcast, it mentions that they become "more focused on their purpose" while losing their humanity.

The game is so close to being awesome, it drives me nuts. As is, all 16 of our regular fantasy players have jumped ship to 40k, KoW, or something else entirely.

This makes me a sad panda.

Not at all. But then you could say I could proxy the whole army anyway. Do you know of cheap (not DIY) alternatives to the citadel ones?

Almost Human. And then Slaanesh takes them for a ride.

That does sound like Astartes.

Legendary force of will, superhuman warriors, etc.

@ShaneTB

If your not against making your own I cant speak highly enough of this site

http://www.scenicexpress.com/

or

http://woodlandscenics.woodlandscenics.com/

You can actually find this stuff in HobbyLobby, craftworlds, and Walmart. ITS INSANELY EASY.

Bend the trees, they have metal in them, cover them in glue ( not the stuff they recommend, its bad) and then dip them in what ever color brush you pick.

I put some on single round bases

http://woodlandscenics.woodlandscenics.com/show/Item/TK28/page/1

There's 24 trees.

If you made a cardboard footprint similar to gw's, for fairness sake, you could get 8 sets of woods for 24 bucks.

 lord_blackfang wrote:
The tree-pack gives a nice discount, yeah?

Ho-hum, regarding the Sigmarine kits, I guess GW finally listened to the idiots who complained about all the "useless" extra weapons in modern kits, so now we get a separate kit for each weapon option. Congrats. Hope you're happy.

When did that happen?

From the new pics....they have fething backpacks?!

Seriously, if anyone on here still believes these are not fantasy space marines, please smother yourself in your own underwear.

They are supposed to be a 'good' version of chaos warriors, which becomes very apparent when you compare one to a blightking.

Already mentioned on previous page. No one seems to care though (god forbid it would interfere with the stormcast bash a thon)

Blood reavers multi part boxed set and Khorne character are the first chaos releases followed possibly by plastic flesh hounds and then multi part blood warriors

..I just bought 30 of the VC undead dogs to use as flesh hounds. At least they're not painted?

Being the cheap attempt at repeating space marines sales phenomenon in fantasy, sigmarines end up fitting neither 40k nor fantasy imo.

Sigmarines seem to be just good as in proper good, who needs that really.

Looking at models released with End Times Nagash, dont have much hope for inccoming models either.

What's wrong with the End Times models? I thought they were beautiful. Nagash, Druthu, Bloodthirster, Blightkings were all so neat.

I meant Nagash and his boys, they looked more like something from Darksides than gothic horror that warhammer undead army should be, imo. Plus the necrony vibe, like a sign of things to come. But yes bloodthirster is great and I had to buy glottkin for conversion as well.

In general I feel the direction will be more cartoony, comicbooky, heroesofmightandmagicky and sigmarinecrony. I have yet to find an AoS model that I like, except the baby gryphon ofc but he's not seperate so not sure if counts. The sigmarinecrons with hammers are kind of almost ok but I still didnt buy and they dirt cheap so still not there I guess.

It was mentioned but no photos were shown, which might be why people 'didn't care' then, hard to get that excited about a mention of a picture that we can't see.

to each their own...
i think Nagash is one of the best models GW has released for Fantasy in a long time...
go put him next to the original sculpt, and tell me this new version is not an improvement...
the spirit host is amazing, and the Neferata Mortarch is beautiful...

i personally really like the comic book style of GW sculpting and painting...
this is why i paint minis!!!
if i want "real world" style, i'll paint scale models or historicals...
since i don't want that, i am happy that there is a style of mini that suits my preference of bringing a comic book look into 3 dimensions...

as for the Stormcast Eternals, they don't read as "proper good" to me, but almost tragic...
they are warriors now stuck in a cycle of death and rebirth, losing a little more of who they were each time they are resurrected...
i like what i am seeing...

cheers

We were in a lull for WFB, hardly anyone playing. Now have a goo crowd showing up for games.

Black flesh, fiery fur, could look nice for these. Paint teeth and exposed bone in brass maybe?
