I guess this is the game they will be showing at adepticon. Just 8 days to go. Given how much they have shown today it makes you wonder what other secrets they have to reveal.

Probably better looking at making your own or third party ones for such a widespread project, but I think it'd look pretty cool.

Just maybe not this sort of thing.

(Might to spoiler that, that's a pretty big image on my mobile)

Anyway, I'm definitely expanding to this army when I can. I'd rather keep my armies as medieval as I can but the high-class lords and steampunk cannons are just too good. (Wanderers make a nice balance at least)

First thing is to get that battletome, looks so awesome!

AOS really start to feel like an absurd, anything goes setting. Which is not necessarly a bad thing, and make it a much more interesting setting than it was in the beginning

I wonder if the more armoured infantry also comes with close combat weapons. Would be a shame if they don't, since they would look very cool with two hande thunder hammer

Agreed, now it seems much more interesting than sigmarines vs beefed up chaos marauders (and these awful fyreslayers ) fighting ad infinitum that it was in the beginning. I'd really like to see where they will go with the undead and lizardmen. Hopefully, the second edition rulesets will be more to my taste (current ones are putrid imo) as I could get into this.

Adeptus Squachanicus incoming! While I won't be playing them, I love the look. Still 100% dwarf but abandons the whole celtic/norse (minus some runes) that I felt dulled down the dwarf line. Steampunk to 11. Curious who was the driving force behind the design?

Indeed, I saw that same sentiment in the Spacebattles forum. (Heck, I've seen that sentiment in alot of franchises like with Zelda fans wanting Nintendo to make BotW it's own origin timeline and stop trying to tie together the mess they made with the Hystoria. )

I'm mixed on the issue on how they should've started but it is nice things are progressing with AoS becoming it's own thing.

Agreed, now it seems much more interesting than sigmarines vs beefed up chaos marauders (and these awful fyreslayers  ) fighting ad infinitum that it was in the beginning. 


That "ad infinitum" part is only true if you never read the material.

This is what they've been fighting for all along and the Steamhead are even mentioned in the first book with the Starter set.

The little floating guys are the derpiest thing that GW has made in quite some time. They're excellent sculpts, so they're certainly not Pumbagore-level bad, but they are so damned silly.

The infantry though? Ace. The characters? Brilliant stuff (though the navigator appears to be unarmed). I love the guy carting around his own smokestack/half-anvil. Great looking armour, amazing looking guns. I love the sky pirate theme as well.

i was actually surprised to find, when i finally got around to reading the starter set tie-in novel, Gates of Azyr, that the hyperbole online didn't jive at all with the book...
there was actually very good reason for the fighting, The Realmgate Wars, as the Stormcast Eternals went out for the first time to open the gates to the other realms...
there was also a very good dynamic between the internal psychology of the Stormcast characters, their relationship between fellow officers, their history with the Chaos champions, and their appearance to the mortals...
i was not expecting things to be as intertwined as they are, or to make as much sense as it did...
i am enjoying the fiction a lot, now that i have actually given it a chance

cheers

Despite the amusing naming habits that have shown up, Kharardron actually takes words/roots from the old Dwarven language in WHFB.

Kharar - A possible adaptation of Khaz, meaning underground chamber/hall; possibly Skyhall/ship
Dron - Thunder

So, possibly Thunder Sky-dwelling? Meaning they are Overlords of the Thundering Skyships?

I don't understand, these look remarkably like Squats, a faction GW described as too ridiculous a concept. But it's fine for AoS?
These are nice minis, I don't think they're amazing, definitely an improvement over Stormcast, but I'd consider getting some for 40k when you stop pissfarting about with it.

The models are technically well done but I've never been a fan of steampunk. Might change my mind when I see them IRL though, that happens a lot with GW models I find.

I'm glad one of the characters is called a "chemyst" because now you can continue making that same joke for at least another 12 months!

Yeah, you may think that it is a joke because you are english speakers. (Or not but In your country it is translated, I don't know)

But when you read a Spanish novel with all the names in english when before they were translated (Because then you can trademark them) its quinda annoying (We call it Spanglish)

To make you an example that you can understand, I will do it in the inverse.

Dakka does have White Knights and is also rather infamous for it's Black Knights. A new edition brings out the passionate and not all of them are good at expressing themselves in written form. There have been plenty of hysterical responses from both sides so far. So we descend into pointless bickering with neither side listening to each other. So posting here becomes more masturbation than conversation.

I think I'll make my Beastclaw Raiders vs these har sky pilots. I know this sounds crazy but doesn't GW usually do opposing force releases? Is there a chance that May will also be an AoS release? If so it might very well be the other rumored AoS force I keep hearing about. What if the rumored AoS DE (forget name) are no longer underground, but sky raiders! That would be cool.

It makes sense if 8th 40k then drops in June.
