![]() ![]() “ Not every insect carries the foul touch of the Plague God upon its body, however. So the new Cities of Sigmar will be about finally defining mortal warriors in AoS and give us access to the goodies Soulbound likes to tease with Mortal Realms traders & humans like Ironweld steamcrawlers and Ghyran insect cavalry. Soulbound are mortals bound to higher beings or even magical weapons that not only increases their abilities but makes them near ageless(in the novel “Monsters” the Angel Stormcast Yndraste finds one Soulbound human warrior who’s been around since the Age of Myth thousands of years ago as a warrior & follower of Grungni, his soul binded to his axe that let’s it return to him((basically Ragnarok Kratos)) ) ![]() Humans age too fast for a setting of gods, demigod Paladins and long-lived elder races with every new age jumping decades to centuries.īut now Soulbound exist and likely the reason the Rpg goes so hard on a lot of mortal art as it offers the solution. Problem was that was over 200 years ago now in the Realmgate Wars. GW’s recent Warhammer World exhibit especially tries to show off that sense of epic clash of gods scale the Mortal Realms invoke:īut yeah, as Mogwai said, there’s already been a shift to mortal focus since the 2016 Godbeast campaign as the Age of Hope slowly established humans could finally fight back against the Dark Gods with the Candlemen of the Tauroi void archipelago in the Realm of Fire: ![]() It’s a very cool new way to build an army – in fact, an enterprising Soulraid could cram as many as three of these not-so-gentle giants into a 2,000-point list.” If your army belongs to the Nautilar Enclave, you’ll be able to field Akhelian Leviadons as Battleline units – because the only thing better than one Leviadon is a whole bale* of them. “ Nautilar is a moving city built atop a vast sea-beast – a living situation that gives these nomadic Idoneth a great appreciation for the titans of the depths. It’s the perfect way to get revenge on the super-sized sea-beasts of Idoneth Deepkin – and a fitting army formation for the Era of the Beast, in which might makes right.” That’s right – you can now run a whole army of flame-spitting, obsidian-scaled lizards ridden by pugnacious duardin princes with fiery mohawks. “ This lizard-loving lodge also rears more Magmadroths than any other – meaning Lofnir armies can take Auric Runesons on Magmadroths as Battleline units. That’s why the recent stuff has been awakening God-beasts, the Realms gaining more sentience leading to the huge rampaging elementals and every army gaining monster battlelines so they can go purely heroes, gods and giant leviathans for a force in this Era of the Beast. Josh Reynold’s recent talk noted despite the advancing narrative and setting growth to allow new worlds and races to appear out of thin air(literally with Draconith, they were hiding in pocket dimensions throughout Ghur) they still want a Status Quo on Age of Sigmar’s main premise of epic clashes of Gods and their demigod & monster armies that shape the realms. “they're not happy with where it is exactly right now. But GW has been planning to expand that anyway, it's why the Dawnbringer Crusades are settling into Ghur now. The problem is it's limited in game to outdated Empire models. Mortals have always been an important part of the setting. Compare that to going on a trip and it's about one night's stay at a hotel. If I bought the Kharadon Overlords start collecting box I'd be good for six months or so. In terms of a hobby it's like anything else, if you go overboard you'll spend lots. The fact that they are changing up the setting does indicate they're not happy with where it is exactly right now.Īre the KO frigates hard to transport? Presumably you could make a magnetic case for them, glue magnetic foil to their bases then be good to go. It could be a reason why they're shifting the setting with the Cities of Sigmar project. The actual income from it would seem secondary. It's a huge amount of free marketing for them, builds their brand, and gets people invested in the world. GW definitely wants AoS to be in video games.
