All I've wanted since they started with the mini factions that were basically facelifts of old armies, is some new stinkin' reptiles.

They should go full on Meso- American style with crazy headdresses and ornate armor, or play up the hitech aspect and make them 40k compatible Or both.

Also moar dinos with moar lazors.

If they made dino's in space, it would be goodbye to my Imperial soup army lol.

The Seraphon should evolve and the Slann should be able to spawn new living Dinos and apex Saurus warriors.

They do this + fix just a couple of the NPE rules and I'm probably back to round-based GeeDub fantasy

But otherwise I'll take plastic Krox all day every day and use them in other games

Deathcasts confirmed! Some stormcasts got tired of having their souls messed up by Sigmar and decided to rebel by joining Nagash.

At least that’s what I’m hoping for.

And I really hope you're wrong.

A new Stormcast release. Its been about three months, i was getting worried!

Judging by the fact her shoulder pauldrons still has the hammer of sigmar in fine shape, and the liberators symbol, I doubt its a Stormcastius Traitoris. Probably an ex-Chaos highlander that got her soul sent to Sigmar rather than a Chaos God, or something of the like.

What's coming tomorrow????
Aghhh so excited to see

The 'tattoos' are things that we've had mentioned elsewhere for some of the tribes and the like.

Worth mentioning that they're very similar to the way that the icon for the Stormcast is done.
Hammer with crude zig-zag 'lightning bolts' underneath of them.
For reference:

The idea of deathcast (love the name) to me seems amazing. I think it would finally give the stormcast a load of flavour aside from "these are the golden good guys who sometimes do drastic things for the greater good".

A subfaction or just a unit or two of stormcast who've reclaimed their memories and are pissed at Sigmar for taking that away from them, turning to Nagash. They can still fight for "good" on the side of Nagash, just they hate Sigmar for how he repays those who fight most loyally in his name.

It's not too far-fetched and would break the moulds of "Sigmar good" and "Nagash bad spooky skeleton" and it would have a wonderful romantic twist to it.

I think it would be neat if they were composed of the cast-off bits of Stormcast that had a little “trouble” with reforging like in that story. Even better if each one is a distinct counterpart to a specific living Stormcast, who wants/needs to find their order-aligned self and break more bits off in order to become complete and able to die fully and properly.

Deathcast are the same as "Loyalist" Alpha Legion.

A terrible idea.

Ok now I really can't tell if thats a male or female stormcast the chest is very 'bumpy.'

I don't think we'll see Stormcast rebelling, from the short story, it literally seems like the undesired parts of the souls e.g. grief, regret etc are literally hammered away, leaving an empty hole inside the soul. Unless someone like Nagash could rebuild the soul or some of the rebelling souls during reforging escaped, I personally don't think we'll see a open Sigmar rebellion. Sigmar doesn't want anything apart from ultimate obedience.

Might this all be about the big magic overhaul? The purple sun model, et cetera?

That was how I was going to do the Stormcasts but not with Nagash when I was going to start Age of Sigmar. Now coming back I bought the new Stormcast boxset so I could redo what I wanted. For me it's the Stormcast who got their memories back and are so upset with Sigmar for various reasons and rebelled against him.

At first I though this was just like 40K how lots of people hated being a copy of 40K so I never started. After loosing my passion and trying to get back in, I said fug it, and started to do it.

This is why I say, "Sigmar the false god, Sigmar the Coward." I wanted to use the Stormcast minis with my chaos and orrucks and Beastclaw Riders. They went back to their tribes once they regained their memories.

SO
CRUEL

I won't sleep. Great.

New Starter set probably Death vs Stormcast, maybe including scenery

Not going to lie, this would be AMAZING.

-Chaos Stormcast Traitors (wasn't there mentioned the Chaos Gods tried to corrupt Stormcasts?)
-Renegade Outcast Stormcasts (Grand Alliance Free Mercenaries)

Would be nice and give new options.

Your post is the same as a post without reasoning.

A terrible post.





They are actually pretty different from renegades to Chaos or renegades from Chaos in 40k.

What makes Deathcast so good is specifically the death part-they aren't fighting for the side of evil, they are still fighting for good except now under Nagash.

People really need to get over the "Death is bad" concept. Death is neutral but ultimately wants order, same as well...order! For Nagash order means people living and dying and the souls going to the rightful underworld and not being stolen. If he had to choose Nagash would definitely pick an orderly world than one overrun by the Chaos gods and their lackies.

Chaos and Destruction stormcast I think would be a poor idea, mainly because that just seems a) too much like 40k, b) just like an angry teenager rebelling against their parents and c) really damn cliché.

Deathcast are different however, they are still fighting for the same thing. Against Chaos, protecting not only the living now but the dead too. Their job is the same.They aren't fighting for something else just to annoy Sigmar in a comical "that will show him!" fashion. They recognise that their original job had point and purpose and needs to be done. They just hate Sigmar for his messed up methods and probably actively work to reclaim the memories and humanity for their brothers and sisters.

Tell me that's not cool. It makes sense lorewise and gamewise, gives death some awesome units and gives the stormcast much needed depth.

But GW need the balls to do something like this. To mess a little with the toys of their special and favourite faction. I hope for it but I doubt they'd risk it.

I'd like to see more diversity of the Death faction. It's funny, people so often want to see flaws, questionable motivations, and generally bad stuff mixed in with good guy factions but bad guy factions being totally bad with no redeeming qualities isn't given a second glance.

If you want to be so literal, I never said anything about Age of Sigmar. I spoke exclusively of Age of Super Buff Dudes, which is an entirely different game. So none of what you just said matters one bit.

You agreed with HBMC that the Pistoliers and Outriders are "pre-AoSification", thus you did say something about AoS.

And now you're attempting to split the hairs you already split in some weird way of scoring points and being 'right'.

Again: You knew what he meant, you're just being (typically) contrary.

Except of course Nagash is a tyrant in his own right, one of decisively more despotic cut, which makes the idea of aligning with him to rebel against Sigmar something an angry teenager would do.

Exactly. Bad idea

I think we won't see any Deathcast today (but maayybe the lightning gheist we saw in MP), it should be SCE wizards against "pure" Nighthaunt

I see what you mean, though I think death still offers the Stormcast the best way to break from the painful reforging cycle and still fight for "good".

Nagash is hardly the perfect ruler but at least he can offer them their past and humanity back.

Plus they could be a separate faction in Death, not under Nagash.

Point is, Stormcast leaving Sigmar because he's unmaking who they are is not ridiculous and Death gives them the closest home they could have, outside of Order.

Hot Sigmarine chick, too. This time in full color.

rehosted pics for the work blocked :

Oh awesome it was a female Stormcast my bad.

Well I just found my new Black Templar Captain.

Both minis are a bit underwhelming. The Nighthaunt looks very similiar to the one I made from a cut up Skullpass gobbo and skeleton bits after seeing the Knight of Shrouds.

However I love the female SC art.

PS: And maybe I don"t have to turn my second Vandus' dracogh into a giant Demigryph if they get an original one.

New edition, this is excellent news! I wonder if it will be backwards compatible with existing books?

The Stormcast wizard is pretty meh. I really don't think that sort of robe works well with the armour. The Stormcast lady in the art on the other hand looks rad, I hope this means more female Stormcast models.
