Never been a fan of Stormcast but they are really getting some sweeeet minis!

Sorry if this has been answered. I noticed the digital version of the new Stormcast Eternal Battletome book is 19.99 on the Age of Sigmar app, but is 26.99 on Black Library and games Workshop main website. Are there differences between these products?

Kurnoths are getting more expensive in GHB2 though (see latest Heelanhammer) so that should put them more on par with other shooting units.

I know we likely all assume such a thing, but do you have a source for that?

The latest Heelanhammer, it does say in the post.

I'm pretty sure they don't specifically say this, just that they feel it's undercosted (along with the Hurricanum and possibly the Thundertusk or Stonehorn, I forget which). That doesn't necessarily mean it will see a points increase, as ultimately it's GW's choice but they could have input.

He said (wether or not was on the podcast or twitter) that we enjoy them while they last. Totes not ominous.

That was on the podcast. Talking about some of the most undercosted units, specifically mentioning Kurnoth Hunters, and how obviously the GHB2 rules team agree they're undercosted, we should enjoy them while they last, etc. They couldn't really be more clear without saying it straight out. Now of course someone at GW could step in and change it back, but considering they're saying this after having had months of discussions with, among others, Jervis Johnson, I think it's reasonably safe to say they know what's up.

Yea a quote like that from Heelan is as close to confirmation as it gets for me.

Hey people, remember when some blokes complained about AOS not having maps?

GUESS WHAT:



And there's then the other two from the realms.

That's all city from the looks of it. Pretty substantial. And Ghyr has another city on the other side of the Realmgate just as big? My my. Hopefully this is the heralding of more gritty lore and mortal stories instead of Brightcast Eternal hammerporn.

If the City of Secrets novel was any indicator then this kind of story should be showing up more often going forward.

You mean Stardrake.

I mean, c'mon, it might sound quite cheesy, but is not a stupid name, for once you guys could be fair.

And this is slight format change, with a font size adjusted.

1. Stardrake is a good name, IMO.
2. I wrote that because I honestly couldn't remember the actual name, so when in doubt at 'ae's and 'y's to regular words and you're bound to end up close.
3. I don't gotta be fair 'bout nuthin'.

You gotta be fair 'bout sumthin'; you think is a good name, but you dared to mock off the model's name by not remembering it and "GW" it.

Not cool dude.

Hastings just posted this on the comment section of war of sigmar. If this is true I mean now that I think about it Malerion aka Malekith does kinda look lovecraft esque.

BTW Bob have you guys heard anything about the slightly Cthulu/Deep One elves (Aelves) due out later this year? (After Steamheads, which I think are next - oh and there's chat of some skaven stuff too iirc)

Wait... what?! WHAT?! Details! When did this info leak?!

It was on an article on war of sigmar when discussing the city map and concept art hastings made a comment. If you read the sliver tower novel how the mistweaver fights it does seem rather cthulu esque she can make people tear out their eyes and rip off their skin and she can induce madness onto to people.

As soon as I have a piece of technology capable of using the kindle app, this is now the first digital edition I am buying.

GW has been nailing it with the releases, and the idea of such Cthulhu-esque releases from them makes my wallet weep.

I'm fine with them making changes. Basically the GHB gives them the ability to have different 'editions' without having to revamp the whole system. No complaints with the AoS team since GHB first released. The new info about Mal and company has me wanting to actually read the books too.

Okay, Shadows over Hammerhal explicidly alludes to Airships, so they may well be a possibility.

Duardin Airships Kragan instead of living in holds the steamhead live in airships. That would be awesome to see.

Gonna be honest, I quite like that. Sounds a bit Miyazaki.

Well currently all the duardin/dwarf holds are empty in chamon and there has been notes of sparks being seen in the skies of chamon. So who knows?

Loving the Maps.

Oh damn yes please, would love that , after seeing the new Pirates of the Caribbean trailer, I am currently doing an 'undead' Kvadlir like Chaos force who were sent out sailing to the Realm of Shadows and never returned from the mists. Using Daemon rules for spirits bound to the ship like the crew of Davy Jones, the Sylvaneth models are perfect for it. Wanting to have that Lovecraftian feel to it, mad things in the mist etc.

Would love this to be true. Quote from Hastings:

Also, the other Aelf character from the ST set has some tentacle-looking things on his base, which may tie into the Cthulhu-esque theme as well...

Yeah funny enough a community member on the grand alliance community forum mentioned that also they pointed out that the mistweaver and shard have bird skulls motifs, mistweaver has one on her buckle and shard has one attached to his chain also the mistweaver has these creepy metal objects protruding from her arms. It's clear they are in the same faction and in the sliver tower novel they killed their group mates. (Not the main group but another group the gaunt summoner was looking at)

Lord Redomir is a Chaos Sorcerer Lord of Slaanesh.

He is the mastermind behind the Chaos attack.

Now that's really good.

I hope this means that at least we'll know something about Slaanesh later this year.

Awesome where did this wonderful nugget of information come from?

edit: Right just checked the warhammer community site.

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/02/21/closer-look-the-villains/

Finally, we have Lord Redomir, a Chaos Sorcerer Lord of Slaanesh.

Long has he, and sorcerers like him, attempted to draw the attention of their lost Chaos God, but to no avail. Now he thinks he may have found a way to locate and awaken his gorged and sleeping deity. Gathering to him followers of Chaos and binding them with promises of bloodshed, mayhem and desolation, he has forged an alliance and seeks to fulfil his destiny…

Sounds liek the Slaanesh release could come with the next Quest game, though that's just a possibility. I'd love to see that.

That can't be true. I was told Slaanesh was squatted and I set all my models on fire.

In my nostalgia fueled madness (Slambo was the first Chaos Champion I bought as a wee lad) I didn't notice he was "resin" kinda dreading a finecast mess when he gets here. Thought they obly released new items in plastic now. :(
