The other two threads are hopelessly full of shitposting. Decided to start a new one.

Here is the new fluff from the upcoming Eldar book. Discuss.

>All Craftworld and Dark Eldar, except the most conservatives ones, have rallied Ynnead. By doing that, they are now closer to the ancient Eldar power and can use their spirit stones previous owner's souls to augment their strength. However, some Eldar consider them as corrupted or already dead. And they may be right, so the new Ynnead worshiping Eldar are as much a factor of division as cohesion. On top of that, Slaanesh and the other gods are reacting to their presence, and the threat they pose. The only sure thing is that the dead follow these "Exhumed". The yellow part is about Yvraine (and her followers, to a lesser extent) being able to talk to dead Eldar souls.
>>
>>51407884
>The Aeldari and the Drukhari of all obediences, besides the most conservative, joined his cause. It is not an abstract philosophical current, for the new divinity exercises manifest powers - thus, the Exhumed can appeal to the souls of the spirits-stones that they carry to strengthen their own capacities, siphoning the power of the departed, To strike with strength, and to reduce their enemies to ashes by means of their strange weapons and their psychic powers. They have learned the secrets of the dead, and have thus become closer to their ancestors and their lost glory.

>However, some consider the Ynnari as corrupt by the demonic forces they pretend to subdue, and others consider them already dead. Perhaps they are right. If the Exhumeds seek to recast Eldar society in the name of Ynnead to restore the glory of the ancient Aeldari, their arrogant and coercive approach is worth as much hostility as adherence. Worse still, the danger they represent for the dark gods pushes the forces of Chaos - especially Slaanesh - to rise like an infernal tsunami to consume them. Conflict and destruction disturb the wake of the Ynnari or they go. The truth which dominates without contest is that, besides, the Exhumed are bearers of death, and profuse.

>Invested by the power of Ynnead, Yvraine is capable of attracting into her the souls of those who surround her, or they continue not as isotonic covenants but as voluntary allies. An outside observer believing that Yvraine bets alone, that she hears voices or that she changes her personality without transition. If one does not know one's creed, one can legitimately believe it to be mad, but the Ynnari know what it is. Their mistress has many lives in her. The Exhumed, who adamantly adore Ynnead, share an echo of his aptitude, and carry the spirit-spirits of the departed to purify their wisdom, experience, and knowledge. And the need never felt so much now that the extinction of the eldars and its shadow on the galaxy.

I always am impressed with the prowess of divination you faggots seem to possess. Just a few small snippets of fluff are enough to tell that everything is going to be terrible, everything you like will die and everything you did not care about or hated will prevail.

And then you get the actual info which is starkly different from the fucked prophecies you've conjured, but you simply disregard reality to keep living in your delusions that you're already too emotionally invested in.

Same universe. Continuation of the story. Same setting.

It's been established that there were other worlds and dimensions in the WHFB universe in the old fluff. AoS covers that.
>>
>>51408707
>AoS covers that.
that contradicts the fact that everything in the Age of Sigmar is set in the mortal realms created at the start of it, with the exception of the realm of chaos, there's not a single place that was present when the old world was alive.

Anon, I'm beginning to think you don't understand what the word setting means. The Old World was the setting of WHFB. It got unequivocally destroyed and replaced by a new setting in the form of the completely different Nine Realms.

Also what this anon >>51408078 said. Advancing the plot without making use of interesting shit; as of now the fracture of Biel-Tan sounds like a really shitty idea with even shittier execution. The new avatar of Ynnead also has to many magic effects and looks like a fucking c'tan shard.
>>
>>51408792
C'tan shards are masculine, ripped, and perfect. They are minimalistic

The Ynnead shard is female, corrupted, and malformed. It's overdesigned.

>>51408843
Swirly magic detracts from the model and causes unnecessary clutter, a little tzeentchian flames are ok; magic swirly storms are a big no-no-no. Knowing /tg/ someone will make a write up of these events detailing way more interesting shit, motivations and consequences.

I did like Trazyn and his pokéballs though, but I am a sucker for kleptomanic space pharaohs fucking people over for the heck of it.

So...

just like Eldar?
>>
>>51408902
No u.

Age of Sigmar is a different setting than warhammer fantasy.
it takes place in a different plane of existence.
It doesn't have any relation to the old world except some common nomenclature.

It's like saying that modern neopagan LARPing is the same as PIE religion. It is ulimately derived from it but it has most of it's shit made up on the spot to feel special snowflakey.
>>
>>51409035

no u
>>
>>51408759
So, it's a different setting.

AoS is not set in the Old World.

You might as well be arguing that 40K and Fantasy are the same setting because they both have the same Chaos Gods.
>>
>>51409070
Wrong. AoS takes place in the same universe of WHFB.

When the world exploded, the Winds of Magic fled into space and eventually became floating land masses in space.

A lot of how magic works, characters, and concepts from the World that Was are present in AoS. Heck, the Stormcast weapons and armor are created from the core of the Old World that survived the explosion.
>>
>>51409086
No proof. You lose.

>>51409093
Nope, same setting but different micro-setting. AoS is the continuation of the Fantasy story taking place in the same universe.
>>
>>51408262
/tg/ has been surprisingly accurate with its predictions so far. Fenris didn't get destroyed, Magnus jobbed hard to the wolves because of that Khorne axe, Cadia died in an asspully way involving the pylons, Abaddon looked like a pathetic shitter once again, etc.

The Ynnead thing is probably the sole part of this wave of plot advancement that /tg/ didn't see coming.
>>
>>51409097
>it takes place in the same universe
doesn't make it the same setting.
The tone is different. The aesthetics are different. The scale is different.

The old world was the setting and nearly everything about it is not applicable in Sigmarine land.
>>
>>51409116
>Cadia died in an asspully way involving the pylons

You a cunt who deserves to get his eyes put out. The Pylons has nothing to do with Cadia's downfall. Now present your eyes so I can destroy them.

>Abaddon looked like a pathetic shitter once again

Actually, he came out real good.
>>
>>51409105
Again, the entirety of WHFB's setting was the Old World.

If you destroy that setting, then reveal OH WAIT THERE WAS ACTUALLY A GIANT MULTIVERSE CREATED AFTER THAT BY MAGIC WINDS, you have made a new setting. Being in the same continuity does not actually matter to the definition of the word 'setting'. The first setting is gone, the new setting is now introduced, and is nothing like the first one. It's a new setting.
>>
>>51409105

No either proof, YOU lose to.
>>
>>51409140
>The Pylons has nothing to do with Cadia's downfall.

Failed to kill a powerless mortal woman and a slightly overweight man.
>>
>>51409135
>The old world was the setting and nearly everything about it is not applicable in Sigmarine land.

Actually, it can. All the armies of WHFB and their concepts are present in AoS.

>doesn't make it the same setting.

Different Micro-setting. Same Macro-setting. The universe did not end with the death of the old world. In the same way the Old World didn't end when Be'lakor destroyed Mordheim for the final time.
>>
>>51409178
You should really learn what the word setting means.

We're right and you are wrong simply because you are using the word wrong. Continuity =/= setting.

That's a lie and it shows that you didn't read the book. Abaddon crashed the moon sized remnants of the Black Stone Fortress on Cadia, destroying it. The pylons had nothing to do with Cadia expolding.

>Failed to kill a powerless mortal woman and a slightly overweight man.

Abaddon was psychically attacked Greyfax which crippled and blinded. This saved Celestine from dying.

Celestine lost her divine power but she was the greatest sister to ever live and Creed attacked Abaddon with the whole 8th Cadian regiment.

Abaddon faced them all while being depowered and half blinded. He tanked all their blows and was going to finis them off before he ran out of time.
>>
>>51409097
>>51409105
Okay, someone failed their stupidity check there, so let's break out the dictionary.

Setting
>the time and place of the action of a literary, dramatic, or cinematic work (Merriam-Webster)
>the time and the place in which the action of a book, film, play, etc. happens (Cambridge)
>The place or type of surroundings where something is positioned or where an event takes place (Oxford)

According to Wikipedia
>In works of narrative (especially fictional), the setting includes both the time and geographic location in which the story takes place. A literary element, the setting helps initiate the main backdrop and mood for a story. Setting has been referred to as story world or milieu to include a context (especially society) beyond the immediate surroundings of the story. Elements of setting may include culture, historical period, geography, and hour.

So no, the Old Worlds with its plains and valleys isn't the same setting as the Multiverse with its planes and webways.
>>
>>51409105

>Same setting

You really don't grasp that word, huh? You can keep asserting this all you like. It literally isn't the case as The Old World is gone.
>>
>>51409213
A universe is a place. You lose.

The Mortal Realms are the floating landmasses in the same universe as WHFB was.
>>
>>51409229
Actually, the core of the Old World is present in AoS.

But lets ignore of this and return to the main point on contention. Do you or do you not agree that AoS is the sequel/continuation of WHFB?
>>
>>51409210
>That's a lie and it shows that you didn't read the book. Abaddon crashed the moon sized remnants of the Black Stone Fortress on Cadia, destroying it. The pylons had nothing to do with Cadia expolding.

The pylons fucked over the Imperium's defenses as well as Abaddon's forces. It was solely due to them that things went that far.

>Abaddon faced them all while being depowered and half blinded. He tanked all their blows and was going to finis them off before he ran out of time.

I'm sorry, but it really kills tension when you have the big bad guy fight all these characters... and he doesn't manage to off a single one of them. He retreated like a bitch and was forced to fall back on plan B.

Okay, you're either simple or trolling. Under your definition (i.e. period doesn't matter, only place), Ben-Hur and World War Z have the same setting, since they both happen on Earth.
>>
>>51409236

Just like Cheers has the same setting as Frazier because they both take place within the same universe! Oh wait, that's not what the word 'setting' means!

>>51408759
>They span the multiverse now and touch many alien worlds and civilizations

>>51409251
Its not a continuation
It's canonized later revisions.

Case in point from hindu mythology.

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Not only is this goalshifting. This is utterly wrong.

Get this straight, the Pylons had ZERO involvement in Cadia being destroyed.

> and he doesn't manage to off a single one of them

Asspulls and plotarmor. Whatcha gonna do? In the same sense you can blame the Imperials for failing to kill a single NORMAL marine whose mind was being ravaged by a powerful psyker and who was half blinded.

And he already won before he landed. The whole landing thing was just an act of pride. You want him to stay alone versus a while regiment of Cadians to finish off people who by all rights are already did? You are not smart are you?

Problem is no one was ever talking about it being the same universe. It was never about shared universe. It was about settings since the start, but you've more than demonstrated you are too much of a dense cunt to comprehend the difference and kept trying to use the term interchangeably.

Not unless they are connected by the same story.

For example, the AoS/WHFB setting timeline goes like this The Age of the World that Was, Age of Myth, Age of Chaos, and Age of Sigmar.

Judging by >>51409379 he will say whatever it takes to avoid admitting he's ever been wrong.

don't worry about Slaanesh. This is GW's way of permenatly writing slaanesh out. They have been wanting to get rid of Slaanesh for 10 years now.
Slaanesh doesn't fit with their 5-10 year old "we steal mommy and daddy's credit card" demographic.

As well they want to merge the Eldar so they can begin cleaning house on them and remove all the units they power gamed out of existence. Then eventually Eldar will be removed entirely and become an Imperium sub faction.

Gathering storm is a corporate house cleaning with a good PR campaign. NOTHING MORE

Like I said derailment to another subject. When I said setting continued I meant the universe progressed. Models who survived got ported and models who died for real were discontinued or renamed.

The PLs won't bet getting any plastic models because it would be a waste since they are all going to die in the Rhanda Dandra. Making any investment in them pointless. Unless they going to make them generic characters in whatever comes after.

What's what I was originally driving at.

Glory to Ynnead. Conquer and destroy for the Goddess. Crush the Lesser Races, Unimaginable Power, Unlimited Rice Pudding.

I'm not even kidding, my space pirates are totally down for light daemonology and fucking up anyone in their path.

>>51409331

I've always liked the old fan-theory that Ynnead was actually a benign aspect of Slaanesh, Parvati to Kali the destroyer as personified by Slaanesh; that when all Eldar die Slaanesh would take on a Ynnead form and recreate them anew.

The implication being that the craftworlders and exodites and so forth don't actually *know* this, and the rulers of the Old Eldar Empire intended all eldar to die and be reborn.

And in fact the eldar's fight to survive is wholly misguided.

They got them for 30K, not 40K. Fluffwise and tablewise, Konrad won't appear in 40K/Storm or whatever comes after the storm.

Imprisoned by Malerion and Tyrion somewhere. It's a plotline in the ongoing narrative. Will be explored when the Aelf releases come and season 2 starts.

The Slaaneshi faction still exists and its major motivation centers around how to deal with the kidnapping of their god.

Biel-Tan/Corsair Eldar player here.

100% pleased by this. Especially if Ynnead eats the souls of Biel-Tan. Having your soul eaten by a benign (to you; don't care about non-eldar filth) god is the best thing possible for an eldar. It's basically Moksha.

And if it is the Goddess's directive that the survivors go forth and conquer, all the better.

Not all Eldar believe that Ynnead is benign. Look at his avatar. He bears the mark of corruption.

Not to mention that his followers are seemingly coercing other Eldar to join them which is resulting in hostility from the Alerdari who don't want to go along with it.

>They got them for 30K, not 40K

Just two seconds ago you were arguing about how AoS is the same setting as WHFB because they had story continuity and shared universe. Now 30k and 40k are suddenly irreconcilable. What happened to not investing in models that don't have a future in the universe? You've completely turned on your own points.

So WHFB characters can't get models because they are dead in AoS, but 30k characters can get models when they're dead in 40k. Even though we've seen dead characters get models several times with Tycho?

I've never seen someone botch an argument so hard. You didn't comprehend the first post, refused to admit you didn't understand the terms at hand and completely lost track of any line of thought.
>>
>>51409884
They're pretty bad.

I mean, their aesthetics are terrible and their lore is completely vestigial. They have no real niche in the setting, they just awkwardly squat in the places other factions fill.
>>
>>51409887
Yes.
>>
>>51409895
30K is still ongoing and hasn't finished it.

WHFB story ended and AoS is its continuation with the characters that died for real in WHFB not making it in AoS.

The Rhana Dandra is where the PLs die for real. So giving them new plastics when they only exist in 40K and will not be ported to whatever comes after 40K is a waste of money.

He wanted to form the whole god. He only got a tiny shard.

By the way, Ynnead was forming anyway albeit slower than Eldrad wanted. Because Eldrad hastened the process and botched it, Eldar have one (possibly corrupt) shard to work with.

Yes it did. We know exactly how and when it finishes, how those characters die and how they only exist in 30k and how they're not ported over into 40k. 40k has no indication of "after 40k". It's the main setting and GW's cashcow. Far from a waste of money. They brought fucking St Celestine back and she's an HQ from a faction that's 95% metal.

Poster of previous; I do know better.

I had an Oldcron army.

I like none of the new stuff aesthetically and find that the new fluff is pretty much awful. I can still field my old stuff but I have negative interest in any of the new sculpts or units, which are either stupid designs or just plain bad sculpts.
>>
>>51412781
I wanted to guy Necrons back in early two thousands because of my love for the undead, but after some research I found them absolutely awful. Mind-bogglingly small and boring range, with the original Tomb Spyder being my personal nominee for the ugliest 40k model of all time. Fluff that could as well not exist. Zero customisation options and zero character. It was an army for people with no imagination. After some more research I picked Thousand Sons as the second closest thing to the undead (and lost pretty much every engagement with them, but at least it was fun collecting them).

Newcrons were a blast. I was burned so badly by the original Mehcrons that I waited cautiously for a year or so before really getting into them, but it's been awesome. With character, actual fluff, model range larger than 1.5 miniatures, they now had everything a 40k army is supposed to have by default. Newcrons is how Necrons were supposed to be from the start, the original range was a mistake.

Although I said that I can't understand how anyone could have liked the awful original Necrons, I understand perfectly well why the new ones have so many haters. There are very good reasons, though the complainers would never admit it. They brought drastic change, and the 40k community has some of the most change averse people anywhere. It was written by Mat Ward, which is already enough for many to condemn it without reading. It removed the so called "mystery" from the story, although there was none in the first place - just boring nothingness that allowed no room for creativity. A lot of people are no doubt angry that they can't now airbrush the entire army with a single metallic and bring it to a tournament. This kind of people should always suffer.

It's telling that I last met a Newcron hater in real life ages ago.
