>Gamers will find all the current Stormcast Eternal units, as well as all the news ones in there, along with Allegiance Abilities, battleplans, magical Artefacts, Battalions, prayers and more besides. For the first time, we’ll also get specific abilities to represent the most famed Stormhosts like the Hammers of Sigmar and the Hallowed Knights (Only the Faithful!)

>prayers

So no wizard spell lore, but a list of prayers?

Makes me think that we are gonna see more units from the Relictor Temple

Makes me wonder if Khorne will get the same

Stormcasts sell out every time we get them in at work. They really are the space marine sof the game in that most people who are buying into AOS as their first game are picking them as the faction from the starter box that they wanna carry on with,

It depends, Anon. In my LGS 50% of players are running stormcast armies because they are cheap and easy to play

Can't wait to get my hands on these. I've got six so far (two each from Castellant, Veritant and Excelsior), but more of these cute-as-fuck things are always welcome.

Also, battletome for all SC means allegiance abilities and such. Lightning Strike allegiance, I hope. Relic and command trait wise the books will need to work hard to outperform Reckless, Relic Blade and Phoenix Stone though.

>>51362812
>I literally see no one plays stormcast
Just going by what was about on the internet during the last Armies On Parade I'd say stormcast are pretty popular. Didn't bother counting exactly but they were definitely one of the most common AOS AoP armies.

Dunno what it is, but those overly defined muscles irk me a little.

Since Blightkings come with an abundance of options...

With some bluestuff molding, would I be able to turn a box of 5 Blightkings into 10 by cloning a few of the parts?

>>51363031

Reposting, because I stuck this at the tail end of the old thread.

Just got into AOS after abandoning it during the hate-wave.

I picked up the Sylvaneth Darkroot Wargrove and a Sylvaneth getting started box.
Should I build 5 of the revenants as spites to combo off Drycha, or would they be better as two units of 5/1 unit of 10?

Where do I go from here? I'm a little lost.

it will be no new models of dark prince now we will see new combined elves

How are these guys different? They look less armored, and less armed.

>>51363295
Fuck off Nurgle. You fat bastards already got blightkings, glottkin, and maggot lords. Slaanesh needs to be next.

>>51363394
You can do it anon! Go in and just ask for that sucker. Worst that could happen is they'll say no.

>>51363315
I suggest using building them as tree-revenant. They are battleline and 2 units of them are extremely useful for killing warmachine and taking objectives.

Then you could go for Spite Revenants. If you take 4 units of 5 you can use the dreadwood wargrove which is a very nice fit for Drycha and amps up the utility of the spites.

Otherwise Dryads and another unit of Kurnoths can be good addiction. Take care about the fact that Kurnoths are very strong and using 3 units in a casual environment wouldn't be very good.

Another start collecting gives you another treelord so you can made on of each variant and enought dryads to make 3 units or a single big one.

>>51363513
You have to paint them in store i think, But im sure if you have a chat with the manager and explain you want it for a sweet ass conversion or somethinbg they might just hand one over. OR go on a busy day and nick one like a dirty Aelf.

Probably better in melee on account of having more than a knife.
Probably less range and/or shots on the hand-crossbows, too.
The description also has them as rangers and scouts, so I assume some movement shenanigans and some interaction with the gryph-hounds.

>>51363529
It is announcement of new Aelves in AoS :D
This model could be used in AoS...

I should have added that I've already got a box of Kurnoth Hunters built up as bowmen.

Good to know I'll be an asshole if I run 3.

Another Start collecting sounds good. I can get a third tree lord so I have one of each type, and the dryads.

Thanks.

Also it reminds me of that old school 80s pen and paper RPG with S.W.A.T. crossbowmen that threw magical grenades. Wish I could remember what that was called...


I'm totally gonna paint them up like swat units now... high gloss black is always sex in a blanket.

>>51363745
IIRC they are just a normal guys with sigmar-magic powers but every time they die he's reforging them and they are losing a part of their humanity

>>51363693
You won't be automatically an asshole for 3, tournaments list usually take 4 or 5 units, but still evaluate your meta. If everyone is a turbocasual they could be too strong. If instead there are stronger lists they could just be good.

Also look for some conversion guide about making wyldwoods if you don't want to sell a kidney for GW ones.

And last thing, for the love of Sigmar, don't ask here if Kurnoths are better with scythes or swords.

I'd say they did a decent job, but you're right a missed opportunity to add any sense of texture. They look like they were rubbed down in precious oils before combat

That is a thing, isn't it? Medieval oils?

Also they could add really neat patterns to it. Food for thought of anyone looking for ideas how to paint theirs.

I'm starting to have a love-hate relationship with Stormcasts. At the start I disliked them for being Sigmarines (they still are) and because I like the Old World better. Also muscleplate is silly and the standard Liberator helmet is just ugly.

However, their aesthetic is starting to grow on me because I love angelic/paladin looks. The wings are especially gorgeous to me. Plus I appreciate how huge they are; it puts Space Marines to shame.

Did actually anyone expect it? I mean, the lore in AoS is driving to a counter-attack of slaanesh, mainly because their warbands are ass-raping hysh and Ulgu, so whenever Malerion leaves' momma's basement he'll find himself with a bunch of deviants to deal with.

We also never expected to have plastic rubrics or tzeentch specific models, didn't we?

I always Slaanesh because he is the most horrifying of the dark gods when it comes to twisting someones personality. You are still you, but taken to an extreme without limits that is open to any insane ideas.

They're actually good and iconic unlike what you posted.

That looks ...surprisingly decent. Like, wow, for a fan thing this is very polished.
Some minor hiccups here and there, but nothing horrible.

>>51364798
But when you are a new player that wants to jump into new game, you are usually buying a new stuff in new and neat boxes - not some shitty-brown old models. That's why a lot of newbies are playing Stormcasts (new models and good deals), Khorne (new models and good deals) and Ironjawz (also new models and good deals)

>>51364885
It plays nicely, trust me we're using it here. It's not perfect but they are doing efforts to improve this shit.

They don't look iconic at all. They look retarded, like somebody with down symdrome's best attempt at copying masked roman cavalry helmets which weren't even used in combat. It doesn't have to be original either, Chaos Warriors look generic as fuck but are way better in terms of design.

>>51364900
But they aren't good deals. Stormcast are overprice as fuck and hit your wallet as hard as playing Deathwing in 40k. Same with the Bloodbound (especially their cavalry). Chaos Warriors meanwhile are dirt cheap in comparison, and are highly saturated on the internet so it's pretty easy to find lots of sprues being sold on sites like eBay. Chaos Warriors are the perfect starter army, people only get into Stormcast because they either like the faction or just jump on the first starter set they see.

Okay, so we know that the new release will be Vanguard, Gryph-hounds, Aetherwings and Gryph-chargers.
Aetherwings I have no clue about, but I am pretty sure the Gryph-chargers will be stormcast cavalry on demi-gryph-sized gryph-hounds. Basically, the light version of Dracothian Guard (with 'light' being a relative term here). Pic related.
Also, new battletome! Lightning Strike for everybody, I hope. Also, pure cavalry lists would be nice.

>>51365453
This. The Stormcast helmets are the worst aspect about them and almost any headswap is always an improvement.

>>51365453
>I can't understand the aesthetic preferences of others because I was deprived of oxygen at birth.

>>51362735
I like the fact that they're given some proper personnality, some trinkets, distinction if you will.
Them advancing the storyline is good as well.
AoS can benefit from this a lot more than 40k.

>>51362942
I don't dig the weird color scheme, I'm more of a traditionnal guy, but the models are lovely.

>>51365453
That's nice, feel free to enjoy them as much as you like. However, I prefer the mask-like look of the SC. Especially the Retributors and Dracothian Guards have nice helmets, but, honestly, I like the whole lot.

>>51365606
>traditional

>>51363231
Soon enough I'd say. Khorne and Tzeentch got their release (sad that berzerkers weren't change, but you can take the AoS ones I guess) so Nurgle (new plague marines please) and Slaneesh (new everything please) should not be far behind.

>>51363529
They won't advance the story that far.

Maybe say that now there's hope for the Eldars thanks to that avatar, but won't outright get rid of Slaneesh.

They objectively look unoriginal and creatively bankrupt. The bodies aren't too bad, even if they're heavily generic, even more than Chaos Warriors, but can in fact look good with a headswap. But with the masked helms they just look like some WOW shit.

If GW wanted to be original and iconic, they would have gone for something eastern. THAT would set them apart.

They advance the story yes, but not the ooint where it is irreversible.

Like for example, Cadia is down, bur now Eldars, the whole damn race, Craftworlds, Exosites and Dark Eldars want to parley with the Imperium.

They'll stop right before the big assault, like they always did, or in the middle of the One battle to end all battles.

I'm not worried really.

Plus I liked FoC actually. I dee too many people disliking it because they get the extremely summarised version (and often incorrect) from oher anons on internet. But the actual book is very entertaining imo.

I was talking about 40k, because anon posted a 40k model. I don't expect them to eliminate Slaanesh from 40k, despite the new Eldar shit. If they don't remove Slaanesh from 40k, they won't remove it from AoS either. Brets and Tomb kings aren't a great analogy because Slaanesh still exists in the lore.

If you think the Romans were a solid state and not a mismash of all the vassals cultures and ideas, I'd like to point out Roman Shields were Celtic designs and Celtic Auxillaries were widespread.

But methinks you're a romanaboo who thinks the Roman Empire was anything like the Roman Empire actually wrote about themselves.

You're ignoring the oiled glistening Demigryphs ain't you?

>>51367149
You're a little Anglo in denial, just as I thought. Unless you're an Irishman from the West coast or a Scotsman from Northern Highlands, which I doubt, because there's the grand total of 3 people left there.

>>51367218
What kind of mental disturbance does it take to classify a mythological beast as a furry?

>>51367222
Nope, I'm a little Anglo who knows his genetic maps, and genetic drift has actually not happened that much over Europe.

Western Europe down the Atlantic coast shares a genetic Celtic-Iberian group.

And you can almost draw a line down the middle of Bongland to see where the Celtic genetic traits are.

Mostly on the west. I mean let's look at it from this perspective.

Romans have had little to no impact on the genetics of Britain, like, at all. So celts were hardly driven to extinction.

>>51367149

Rome was tsun for Celts and Gauls in particular.

Now Carthage, thats a good example of them going all out on the destruction and genocide.

>>51367295
Well, the "Celtic" culture is really fucking old and clearly influenced the Early Roman tribes.

Celts got around though, from Slavlands to Egypt to India, they migrated everywhere. The only reason we don't say celtic "Empire" is because the fucks didn't like each other either.

>>51367337

Isnt that WHY they moved around so much instead of consolidating? Populations do not tend to migrate unless things at home are bad.

>>51367295
Well, it's pretty obvious.

Roman Legion designs with broad rectangular shields and Imperial standards being a totem of gold with an animal on top is very much a Celtic cultural thing.

It's interesting to see the civic side being very much a greek hangover, but their military dress was celtic to the extreme.

>>51366237
I figure just giving mine all shields as well as the Scroll and Birb upgrades. Don't think they are going to get into melee enough to make losing the 6++ worth.

>>51364783

>>51367337
Celts in India? You learn something new and ludicrous every day on /tg/.

>>51367370
They migrated because Celtic culture was very individualistic. If you disliked the people in your village, you fucked off. You disliked the other village in the valley and they could kick your champions ass? You moved. It wasn't "Bad" as we have proof that Celtic cities could be pretty nice.

It's just hard to rival rome with only limestone and wood.

>>51367388
Except the Anglo-Saxons and Romano-Celts didn't fight each other much, Namely because during the Anglo-Saxon migration, the Romano-Celts were already on the west side of England.

Just like the Romans barely fought huge Genocidal wars save for Carthage. Like an anon said, Celts were largely just assimilated while Germans were paid off.

>>51367427
I wonder what the Romans must have thought after Carthage was utterly annihilated.
One rarely finds another rival like that.

>>51367337
I can belive that. The combined travel routes of the Vikings stretches across half the globe and they didn't even use stars to navigate. Having a primitive culture is not really a barrier for getting around.

>>51363898
They're Stormcast Bolters. Storm Bolters. GAMES WORKSHOPPP

>>51367484
Well there is the thing.

Celts DID travel by Stars and if the Iberian- proto celt culture is to be believed, the oldest seafaring culture in Europe.

It's a same the Romans were so Adamant in transposing themselves over the history of others.

>>51362773

That is actually kind of neat and is a nice throwback of sorts to Warrior Priests.

>>51363157

GW really seem to be trying to avoid characters in AoS with the majority that exist coming from Fantasy.

>>51363399

Before Daemons last got their updated codex and army book, Tzeentch and Slaanesh where actually taken care of decently, being the only two gods to get new models. Khorne and Nurgle got their stuff alongside the books and afterwards Khorne only got the Bloodthirsters and Skarbrand. Tzeentch seems to be getting the same treatment now with LoC, Kairos, and the Changeling.

Slaanesh also got one or two mortal units with the Warriors of Chaos army book. It was the End Times and the Bloodbound that brought in the Khorne and Nurgle stuff afterwards, granted Khorne did a decent amount of stuff with the WoC army book as well.

>>51363674

sadly until the shitty summoning rules are fixed, you ca'nt use the change gift or things like that.
Each and every single tzaangor created this way would cost 180 points as per the summoning rules (yes 180 point for 1, not one squad, but ONE SINGLE tzaangor)

>>51368151
I think the summoning rules are fine for the most part, but edge cases like this need to be fixed

think of summoning more like deep strike than an endless fountain of bullshit

Why are people happy about other anons armies potentially being squatted? That's the kind of faggotry that belongs in 40k general. Just cause you knew some faglord that once collected slanesh doesn't mean they deserve to be deleted. Cut that shit behaviour out, we got enough shit posting to deal with from ex wfb players. I swear this kind of thing has come over from 40k/v where being a dickhead is seen as normal.

Which weapon should a Lord Celestant on dracoth take? I kinda like the idea of the lance.

I'm in the middle of the US and go hunting and fishing often. I've never seen a bog and would only have a guess as to where the closest one is. I'm thinking Minnesota?

>>51369329
Depends on what you want. Skyshoal is good. Tzaangor Coven is good if you plan to run a big squad of tzaangor. Wychfire is okay, need ways to make them hit harder, but weight of shots is never bad.

How does this look as a 2k general Destruction list?

3x10 Savage Orcs - 300
40 Arrowboys - 400
Big Boss - 100
Kunnin' Rukk - 60
3x1 Orc Boss on Wyvern 720
1 Troll Hag 400

I have to randomly roll for traits/artifacts. The Bosses on Wyvern also seem to be equally as good as Colossal Squigs at 60 points less. Plus, they're heros for 3pop.

I really hope Gryph hound's being oiled up becomes a meme. Mostly because it helps me get off.

So what the fuck is with the Seraphon now?

Do they actually exist or are they just mental constructs? Surely they have to exist because they keep going if you kill the slann host, right? But like... I am really confused as to what the fuck is going on with the seraphon.

Also they really need new models with their new fluff, it makes no sense for them to be tossing snakes and rocks at people if they have magical temple starships.

>>I literally see no one plays stormcast

>>51370033
they are remembered back into being but actually exist once that happens, they live on and possess their own minds

so since summoning is pointless with arcanites, and most of their damaging spells creates units that you then cant use, are the best generals ogroid thaumaturges and curselings?

>They objectively look unoriginal and creatively bankrupt. The bodies aren't too bad, even if they're heavily generic, even more than Chaos Warriors, but can in fact look good with a headswap. But with the masked helms they just look like some WOW shit.

So, if GW want to be original and iconic they should stop copying what they are copying and copy something else?

Stormcast helmets were possibly Blanche's idea, hard to tell without knowing which came first. Though he did do the art which inspired the Darkoath Chieftan, Mistweaver Saih, and Kairic Adepts.

Stormcasts are a popular faction and they are giving them the battletome with unique things so that a popular army doesn't get outclassed by new stuff. Gw seems to be coming up with ideas at an alarming rate but they can only release some many things a month or else they won't see long term profits, maybe there is a grot book being edited right now but we won't see it for a little while

>>51370511

Thinking about it, the only reservations I have about them releasing a new Battletome is that they may not stop selling the other two and not all the content from them will make its way over, even if they give Stormcast the SM codex treatment where the page limit is around 150 instead of around 100.

>>51370511
GW did this with Space Marines in 40k

>They declare it the most popular faction
>primarily make new models/rules for that faction at the expense of others
>players pick up that faction as a main/side faction so they can actually get new shit
>the cycle continues

>>51370647

SM becoming popular was a result of the players, GW just rightly took advantage of it. Granted it hasn't always panned out. Black Templars got one codex before they were folded back into the main SM codex.

>>51370432
Difference being that Blanche's Sigmarines don't look like Wowshit.

>>51370709
Yeah, players jump from other factions to SM when they don't get any/many new releases and their faction gets the shaft rule-wise

It's a self-fulfilling prophesy

>>51370474
They're wearing Byzantine armor you nob. And the ERE looks completely different from the WRE.
