"Age of Sigmar" speculations

[Hyarion]

I'll be really curious to see how they integrate the round and square bases eventually.

Dare I say it OMG!!!

If I play I will definitely be turning to the dark side, quite like the basic Chaos dudes, and the Sigmarite Monster Mounted Hero; otherwise might as well play Space marines - to say I am NOT impressed is a HUGE understatement.

Dare not think what will happen to our Woodies.

The only thing you can say is the Truth is Out at Last and I was right about more hammers less skulls for the Empire/Sigmarites!

[Ramesesis]

I am so dissapointed I will consider giving it up totally. Now, it is time to order Kings of War anf only buy 40K from GW.

[Yuri]

I didn't quite catch things now... what Chapter is that?

[T.D.]

only buy 40K from GW.

I think that's the point

[Mithriella]

only buy 40K from GW.

This force me to begin and play 40k and play 8th edition warhammer fantasy...

[Samoht]

So..., the huge big way to revitalise Fantasy is really as the most cynical negative voices said. We now have Space Marinehammer.

The only thing they could come up with to revitalise the Fantasy side was just to make it look more like 40k?

I heard that elves were going to get a major makeover as well. Kind of a combo of Native American, Aztec, and Pict. I personally like the more tidy and sophisticated elf design, but a more savage take could probably fit in with a wood-elf theme just fine.

[Cosmos]

I kinda like the new models. They arent as clunky as marines, but i do tend to generally ignore 40k. The hammers are cool but a weapom variation may have been nice. The winged dudes look cool and the hero mount looks badass. It is different from what we are used to, but i think its all about to change. If this is what they have in store, im all for it.

[Caranthir Ciryatan]

Well I definitely not play the age of sigmar, my gaming experience stops with with warhammer 8th edition. But for any collecter out there, like myself those models are awesome, even if the Humans look like Space Marines.

Cheers

So IF W.E's look more pictish, we'll look like Wardancers then!

[Ramesesis]

Yeah, we will get Kiera treatment

[Cernunnos]

Yeah, we will get Kiera treatment

How so?? Kiera is a member of The First Nations. Picts are the original inhabitants of my own country Scotland. Two VERY different ethnicities and cultures mate. W.E's are based on Iron Age Celts anyway, so going Pictish will make them look a bit more like Wardancers, and indeed should make them look like the previous metal edition.

Well..we already have a lot of bare chested wild riders, wardancers etc, if this rumor is correct I think it means all elves will be more WE looking which is a good thing . I've alway thought DE and HE where more similar to empire than woodelves anyway.
I do hope we keep our cloaks on at least a few models though.

[Merlin Elf friend]

I hope the rumours about the elves being more Native American/Pict are true, I have quite a few of the "old" metal wardancers lol!

Iceni chariots anybody; must dust off the very old Elven War Chariot - here's hoping!

[Cernunnos]

WFB FAQ's have now gone from the website, won't be long now... sadly it feels more like a drawn out death than a new beginning.

[FriedTaterExplosion]

I'm excited.

I, for one, welcome our New Age of Sigmar overlords.

Positive vibes, dudes.

[Aezeal]

+ 1 for positive vibes.. they are sorely lacking here on the forum.

[T.D.]

Picts are the original inhabitants of my own country Scotland.

Thought you were from Norway. Good to see a fellow Scot keeping the Fae Spirit Alive!

More MEEEHHREEENS!!!

[Jossebuschman]

They might actually be space marines, read the fluff in the white dwarf scans...

I really hope not though.

[Billthesurly]

I was going to say... they look an awful lot like actual Space Marines. The fluff on a couple of the pages that were posted read like something from 40K not WFB. I didn't recognize ANY of the place names mentioned. Are we sure this is WFB?

If it is I have some news for GW. They did this to me once before 20 years ago when they "disappeared" my Space Dwarves with a hand wave. They're not going to get my Woodies too. However, I will wait until I am absolutely certain of what is going on here.

More money, near Chaos Wastes ...sounds good

[Ramesesis]

My only hope for the new ed hangs on the elves. I really hope we can recognize them enough. I fear they will make them all WoW vulgär rather than native American/Pictish. If they do that, I guess it is pretty ok. Done right.
