Age of Sigmar is just anarchy. First flying dwarves, now mountain elves. What's next, pretty orcs? (PS GW feel free to steal the idea for Pretty OrcsTM thank you in advance.)

Cow elves are sick, do you guys reckon they'll have more models to represent another one of the 4 spirits or this is more or less all we'll get plus some generic characters?

I agree that bull is an odd choice for elves.

Re: bulls, based on the earlier hero (?) model that's sitting in a meditative pose, I imagine what they're going for is a thematic association between Hysh's order/enlightenment and Hinduism. In which case, the other spirits will likely be things like the tiger or the elephant.

It's an interesting alternative to the cliche of making the "light elemental" a Judeo-Christian thing.

There’s a very blurry image of the veiled elf in today’s video. Are those known runes or anything on her robe?

Also it kind of looks like there’s a tiny dragon over her shoulder? Though now I think it’s that incense thing above, I hadn’t seen that before.

Huh, that really does look like a dragon when blurred. Fairly sure it’s the burner though, you can see her hand holding it in the closeup

Also I would be fully onboard with elephant and tiger elves

From the lore in the first lumineth community post they were Mountain (represented so far by the pillar wizard, hammer elves and cow), Wind, River, and Zenith.

I'm excited, Soulbound is supposed to come out this week or next, though with Covid-19, I could see it delayed longer. That game looks great, a complete encapsulation of the insanity of AoS.

Looking forward to that too. While the physical version will no doubt be delayed, I imagine the digital version will come out on time.

Having bought and read it, I can say that it's loving tripe and you should avoid it. Unless you love incredibly overwrought descriptions of places, crap pacing and very obvious thesaurus usage. At least whoever's reading the audio book is having a fun time.

If you want to actually get into the setting, read Spear of Shadows. Great cross section of all the major factions, regular human POV character, lots of interesting locations.

Definitely the AoS book to start with, though I did like Plague Garden for its cool Nurgle guys.

I'm looking for something very specific that I don't think I can find. I'm looking for the semantic field of Age of Sigmar. I'm looking for the top, say, 100 nouns and adjectives used in that universe. Does anybody know where I can find this, or am I going to write a web crawler and parse some wiki website?

It's for a project.

I actually bought the collector's edition when 2nd edition launched because I thought it was the super nice version of the core book(In my defense the 2nd launch box was called Soul Wars too). I was really confused when it arrived.

If you read Soul Wars you'll see a lot of "Nagash is all, and all are one in Nagash!"

Like three or four times per conversation between any undead.

Warhammer Preview 2 is live right now. First up is the reveal of the Lumineth army box. Featuring actually useable special dice. But it looks like they're following the same model as with the Sisters release end of last year with a box that contains everything you need for the army.

New models are definitely coming its just not unusual to debate a new line without actual model pictures in the teaser. This might take longer since everyone is stuck at home
