Can somebody who bought that new Stormcast Eternals battletome tell me if the Celestial Knights have their own rules? I've had the AoS starter set forever and finally want to get painting and their color scheme is my favorite from what I've seen.

From what I can tell a bunch of them so have their own rules in the newest book, actually. It was all over BoLS a month or two ago E: For those curious the answer to my question is no, but the Tempest Lords have a similar scheme and do have rules.

Well, I finally bit the bullet. I've picked up the new Stormcast Eternals Battletome, the General's Handbook and ordered the Start Collecting: Stormcast Eternals to go with my starter box. It's all because I decided I really liked how Stormcast look with the Tempest Lords color scheme but as I've been reading more and more about the game I think it looks like a ton of fun.

It would actually be pretty cool if they give you bonuses for running mixed armies themed around these new city states. I've barely thought about AoS recently as 40k is actually good now so this new campaign will hopefully be a good reason for me to finish building the models I have.

MonsterEnvy posted:Like many other people I feel the Age of Sigmar setting could be the Outer Planes to the old world. I'm sure GW has had thoughts about doing some sort of retcon to this effect but let's be honest here- that's pretty high risk. I honestly don't think Stormcast would ever fit in with the setting of the old world in such a way that they feel right. I think this new thing they're doing with city-states could be sort of cool. The big thing the setting is missing is any sort of grounding; we have no idea how common people live, or even where they live for the most part. Hopefully this new track will be enough.

Atlas Hugged posted:Honestly that's pretty cool if they have. The way I remember it Sigmar saved the entire household of some particularly badass king, the members of which would become the Tempest Lords. I don't think it was explicitly stated that there were women included but it was heavily implied.

GW does seem to at least be trying to give a poo poo about this stuff in AoS. I completely agree with Atlas Hugged in that I think even these new models are still excessively sexualized, but I do feel like it's important to give the sculptors some credit here. I'd be flat out embarrassed to show people a lot of GWs older sculpts of women. Repentia, Dark Eldar slave... The list goes on. I actually really like the female hero model for Blightwater now though. I could definitely live without the boob plate, comparitively subdued as it is, but when taken as a whole the model looks like a badass warrior and not a sex object.

Representation is a big deal for a lot of reasons, moral and business. I'm actually pleasantly surprised at how well the conversation in this thread has gone as most of the rest of the internet would have thrown a tantrum by now.

It's the leader from the upcoming Blightwater box. I'm quite the fan of the model.

Rules for a combined Stormcast/Kharadron army? This does not bode well for my wallet. No, it does not.

It's incredibly amusing to me that just as 40k has become sigmarized, AoS has gained more and more of 7th editions bloat. Truly the cycle continues.

I saw some gameplay for Shadespire last night and it actually looks pretty fun. I'm tentatively excited to pick it up. Since it's a board game with a fairly quick playtime I may even be able to play a game with a family member or something instead of having to track down the local hams.

Skaven are coming eventually at least. There's a picture they released with all the various factions that will come out and there were definitely some rat people. Stormcast showed up twice so they may get two releases.

Danimo posted:I gave the new book Spear of Shadows by Josh Reynolds a shot and find it pretty decent. It does a lot for the background, in the same ways that Firestorm does. Feels like they're finally making good on the setting. I posted a bit about that book in the Black Library thread. I was really impressed with the result of all their worldbuilding after reading the first book in the series.

SteelMentor posted:One that worshiped Allarielle and was close to FB but with more twigs and sticks, and a faction of Nurgle-worshipping Bretonnian types locked in total war against each other. There's a character in the Eight Lamentations books who fits the bill of a knight with added twigs and sticks. His sword was even made out of a special type of wood.

Corin Tucker's Stalker posted:They posted the Order champion: The age of myth is the time period in the new setting where Sigmar was originally creating his pantheon and everything things were going pretty well for everyone before chaos hosed everything up. You are unfortunately reading too much in to this particular bit, although I would not be at all surprised if they do try to bring the old world back in some fashion.

I've never actually managed to play a game of AoS and have a bunch of unassembled or unpainted Stormcast stuff and yet they are somehow managing to hype me up with this release, whatever it ends up being. I suppose I am in the sigmar-curious camp and as such am sort of the target audience for this stuff.

My suspicion is that the faction clusterfuck was a precursor of sorts to the 40k keyword system, and that when the time comes for a major rules revision we'll see those keywords implemented in AoS as well.

I've had the Stormcast from the starter set sitting unassembled for like a year at this point because I've never found a paint scheme I particularly care for. I'm considering doing an Imperial Fists style yellow for the challenge- has anyone seen something similar?
