GW News: LAS VEGAS OPEN 2025

Eh, pretty much every army is getting some kind of subfaction division now.
Click to expand...
Yeah, but as far as I remember the subfactions usually aren't this limiting. It's usually not "you need to use this 1 general trait" it's usually "you need to use one of these 3". Especially seeing as the "normal" traits are actually kinda decent it ends up looking rather weird in this case.

As for the pink horror thing, I suspect they're trying to sell more minis by making people field units of 20 pink horrors in order to keep that spellcasting ability around... :rolleyes:
Click to expand...
It's 400 points to start with 20 pink ones, and 20 is the maximum size. So you're not going to be needing to buy that many boxes.

Imho, the blue horrors should've also supported their casting ability. If only so the blue horrors serve a purpose. The blue horrors have been left in rather a weird spot like this.
 
Any suggestions as to what this is about?

Because this screams “Ogor” to me, and yet the Ogor release has already been and gone.

Actually I’m pretty sure that’s how it is for most of them - certainly Khorne, and Mawtribes, and I’m pretty sure the same for SCE as well, along with all the others. It might be Slaanesh that has the choice of three; I think I remember reading something about that; but if so I’m pretty sure it’s the exception rather than the rule

Well that's just dissapointing...

I'd say some giant.
Anyway, destruction.

Giants don't really use anything as complicated as shields though. They're barely clothed and just wield a tree as a club and that's about the extend of their technology.

True, i was thinking to a character. "Thormund, the Giant Jarl", or something similar.

I was thinking these wouldn't be the normal Giants. Not the brutish, dumb ones we know, but those more akin to the Sky Giants of the Olde World. Noble savages who shun their idiotic and Brutish brethren.

it's too crude for anything noble like that though.
 
I think that belongs to a gargant.

Reason why not Ogor or Orruk: those just got their new BTs, I guess GW wouldn't release a new model and warscroll thats not in the book right after they made that book. Sounds stupid to me.

Have you met GW? Sounds perfectly in character :p

S2D requires you to choose a Legion of the Damned, but then you get a full list of 6 artefacts and command traits with each legion. Some of them restricted to specific heroes though. Like despoiler Command Traits can only be used on a Daemon Prince. And the Host of the Everchosen do not get Artefact of Traits.

Not that I know of. I'm 5 foot 10, and know several people over 6 foot.

Aren't you mistaking us with Spanish, Italians and Greeks? Mediterranean folk were on average historically shorter than their northern cousins ;)
Click to expand...
I thought brittons were relativly short for northerners (on average, there's of course always going to be some that are decently tall). Of course mediteranean (and a lot of asians) are on average even shorter.

I don't think Noble = Refined.

That's part of the whole Noble savages trope, which Lizardmen used to belong to in a way.
Click to expand...
The noble savages trope still has a refinement to it.

E.g. our weapons are very clean & refined tools. They're of course technologically simple, but clearly made by a master craftsman who knows what he's doing. A similar thing can be said about our jewelry, or decorations on a slann's palaquin. Or the best example of all, the solar engine on a bastiladon with its carefully cut diamond. They're technologically simple, but show refined craftmanship.

Similarly, if you look at the skygiant cannons that the ogers have looted to stick on their chariots and use as ironblasters, the actual cannons are refined pieces of equipment. With delicate works of art on them. However, the repairs the ogers have done are crude and makeshift.

Hence why I don't think it could be a noble sky giant. As this shield is just random bits of iron crudely slabbed together. There's no craftsmanship in it.

See, this is far better than just getting 1 trait & artifact for your general.

Really? It screams "LOTR Troll with Shield" to me. That smaller, inset shield-on-the-shield looks like something out of Middle-Earth. Don't remember seeing those kind of geometric patterns on anything AoS/WFB except maybe some older Dwarven stuff. Could be a reboot of generic Orruks, but I kind of doubt that.

The small shield on the shield is an Ironbreaker shield:
