Gathering the Informations.

The Lumineth warband highlights a major failing on the part of the design teams for WarCry and AoS both:
Not being willing to separate out the constituent components of the warbands into multiple units.

The unmasked, unarmoured Aelfs are supposed to be the "initiates". Lorewise? They haven't bonded with the aelementari temple they've chosen yet(River Temple initiates, per the lore, bind themselves with stones and jump into a river. If they drown? They drown. If they manage to bond, they can start getting air via the river's spirits), so they wouldn't have all of the benefits that the bonding brings yet.

Maybe I'll be wrong and they'll pull another Hunters of Huanchi(the only warband I can think of where they have differentiated between the components when ported over), but I dunno.

Yes the mishmash nature of warband units in AoS is incredibly off putting.

Agreed. It's the worst part about the Warcry warbands when they force them into a single unit in AoS. They don't look like a unit. They just look smashed together and it makes no sense.

The Lumineth highlight another area where GW could improve.
The poses are mirrored.
It wouldn't take that much more design time to tweak the poses.
Feels like they hit the mirror button, swapped the uniform/skin, & call it done.
It calls attention to the stiff, lifelessness of CAD designs to me.

Bam, said the lady!

I have a hunch that the Lumineth band will look better in person. I feel like the jumpy/leapy miniatures don't always translate well to 2D photography.

Only thing I want out of that box is the terrain piece though. Not like I need it. It figures that they'd start releasing more explicitly Seraphon terrain now that my collection is already more than big enough.

Not a fan of the double spear with the cruciform profile. It's so ugly and also not very useful. At least the alternate weapon build Kusarigama didn't look too bad.

Also suspenders? I swear someday someone gonna replace the weapons in the back with kiddy backpack.

I don't much care for either faction, but I must take my hat off to that brilliant pun of a title for the new box. Bravo.

I feel like the Lumineth are a bit overdone, giving so many of them tactical branches to leap off of puts it over the edge for me. The face sculpts also leave me liking the masked ones better.

Pyrehaunt I like more, but I'll need to see those white robed ones in person, their posing seems oddly... incomplete? I get T-pose vibes.

Terrain I love, no criticism there.

Road to Renown! It's like classic Path to Glory, but repaired, remastered, expanded! https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/778170.page

I chose an avatar I feel best represents the quality of my post history.

I try to view Warhammer as more of a toolbox with examples than fully complete games.

Now if only Seraphon would get the same treatment.

They are short points wise so will need to be filled out with other Order of Azyr fighters - which I believe is just Hexbane's Hunters from White Dwarf 494 for now.
