Nagash takes it, most likely.

Eradicated. The Wizardcast duty is to prevent them to breaking loose. In the story.

I was very specific about what I was being dismissive of. It wasn’t you as a person.

Not exactly- the wizard prevents the entire soul from breaking loose. There is no reference to watch happens to the damaged/discarded piece of soul.

Next week we are getting the leviadon and the beginning of warhammer legends.

Shame they're only available for a week. It would be much nicer for them to be around longer.

The problem with the souls retrieved from Slaanesh is that they have all been damaged by the experience.

Yes, it was described that some are missing its parts (Namarti and male - slave caste of DoK), the fortunate ones were tormented by millennia. Was there a paragraph where this "damage" was more specified, I honestly can't recall at the moment ?

it's stupid the way GW presents it. Oh Sigmar is the bestest. All these other gods were saved from things by him and made friends. I know the lore is what it is.

Then why not accurately describe it? This I'm pretending to be slowed shorthand people use when talking about background pretty much ruins the conversation.

pm713 just doesn't like the AoS fluff an has no interest in seeing positive aspects. Best move on.

I've also repeatedly said things that I do like. Excuse me for not thinking AOS is 100% magnificent and amazing writing.

I legitimately can't think of a single thing you've ever specifically mentioned as something you like about AoS. You constantly say you like plenty of things, but never say what they are. Then you make some strawman statement about people claiming the game is perfect an infallible. You're a hipster who doesn't want people to dislike him for being a hipster. Spoiler alert: No one like hipsters. Not even hipsters.

Sylvaneth, Kharadrons, Idoneth, Flesh eater Courts and Daughters of Khaine are all things I like and I've mentioned every one except FEC's before at some stage.

In what way am I a hipster...

Guys, guys, do not let Khorne overcome you, right ?



I guess lots of you also go to War of Sigmar and TGA, but what do you people think of this theory, based on the Adepticon reveals (2 videos and new Shadespire cards), the cover of Soul Wars by Josh Reynolds, and the latest Malign Portents story :

2. It's really interesting to have at last more informations about the Sigmarabulum's factories and the Six Smiths. So, even if the Sigmarabulum (the artificial ring around Mallus where the Stormcast are created and stationed) is probably bigger than city-sized, each soul is indeed reforged individually (it's not an industrial process). Knowing more about the process itself makes the Stormcast's fate in the Time of Tribulations more tragic.

3. IMO Kavastus is one of the "Stormcast Wizards" from the Souls wars cover (with his stave and his use of "the magic of Azyr"). I think the situation will become so dire during the Soul Wars (after Nagash unleash the Necroquake spell) that Sigmar will be forced to launch the "Wizcasts", who are NOT a new Chamber, but the guardians of the Sigmarabulum, needed to watch over the souls of the Stormcast at war in the Mortal Realms and the souls of the other peoples of Order.

All the new Stormcast symbols seem to reflect the Reforging process an Anvil and Lightnings. Kevastus is also guarding the Anvil of Apotheosis, using lighting magic.

I just hope that if there is a new starter box GW finally release separate models for the Lord Relictor, Bloodstoker and Khorgorath.

Hey, hey! I totally liked hipsters once. Y’know, back before they went all mainstream and sold out.

The natural transmigration of soulstuff is supposed to be life>death>assimilation>dissipation or reincarnation. Sigmar needs to stop skipping the assimilation part and build hisself a Valhalla or something to let his fallen Stormcast relax for a bit before reforging, but using shadeglass to prevent them from dying in the first place is a good stalling tactic.

You ever listened to the "The Knights of Vengeance" AoS Audio Drama Collection? Simply being in sigmar's presence rejuvenates the stormcast mentally and spiritually. His light is like a healing balm to them. With the exception of the reforging flaws it seems.

That lines up with what xking said; for it to be a healing balm it follows that there's something which can be healed.

The problem with the sigmar is a meanie angle is that he’s fighting a war against forces that threaten the physical and spiritual existence of every living thing in the mortal realms. Compared to chaos Sigmar is the de facto good guy. Same with 40k.

Problem is that he is never going to win considering how he does things. If you want the end of chaos follow nagash according to the lore writers it's why they are freaking out in the malign portent supplement. That's the grey aspect to the death alliance.

So long as it doesn't just become "lolol deathcast! lolol chaoscast!".

We can(and have) had them failing without just becoming traitors.

GW has been good about that so far. And I don't see Chaos versions coming because even when they have captured Stormcast souls chaos forces have shown no interest in trying to corrupt them as opposed to using them as magic batteries. It would be 'deathcast' I'd say we could potentially see, but IMO it would be something resembling stormcast in the same way a knight of shrouds resembles a human--an undead created from the souls rather than a stormcast model with skulls.

The Sea Taketh
A Warhammer Age of Sigmar story

A Kharadron arkanaut explores the ocean floor in search of a great treasure… but what he disturbs may spell doom for him and the humans who aid him as the Idoneth Deepkin rise.

READ IT BECAUSE
It's the very first Black Library story to feature the Idoneth Deepkin, the new additions to Warhammer Age of Sigmar, and it's a chilling tale that will leave you wary around water…

THE STORY
Ingdrin Jonsson, arkanaut of the Kharadron Overlords, swaps his sky-ship for an ocean-going vessel as he joins the fisherfolk of the Blackfire Bight for an expedition. With his arkanaut suit adapted to help him survive the crushing pressure of the ocean depths, he delves into the darkness in search of a great treasure. But when he disturbs something ancient and deadly, he brings danegr not only to himself, but to the humans who aid him. For the Idoneth Deepkin are rising, and they hunger for souls…

Eh, we basically already have "chaoscast". They prefer to be called Khorne Bloodbound, though.

How could we have Chaoscast when Stormcast are Order Chaos Warriors?

It doesn't make any sense. The Chaos Gods can already resurrect their followers if they want to.

EDIT: I should have read Entyme's post...

Anyone with WD yet able to confirm/deny that there's actually 3 weeks of preorders left for Idoneth?

I'm seeing some people say that the Allopex will be for preorder on the 12th and the Akhelian Guard on the 19th?

There was supposed to be 5 weeks, not 6. Was the whole point of the art cards.

Awesome. So only two weeks left.

This popped on tga.

"with the store on the 4-5th of June having a large meeting, regarding age of sigmar and then told to make a new starter board, would suggest that we are getting a new edition. "

My guess is rather a new starter box, but that's pretty much common knowledge. It still gives us a date for its release: pre-orders will be either 2nd or, more than likely, the 9th of june.
