They look like they belong more in a 40k game than fantasy. And they look like something to attract 12 year olds to the game. (no offense if you yourself are 12...it's just the vibe I get, and it's not a direction that appeals to me.) _________________Chinese Relativity Axiom: No matter how glorious your triumphs, nor how miserable your failures, there will always be at least one billion people in China who don't give a damn.

Well, I suppose if I deploy my Optimus Prime, no one is going to notice... _________________ " Rork.. a wonderful guy  " - Linda Lobsta Defenda

Least we forgot the new 32mm bases!  Its going to be boiled down to Goodies Vs Baddies in fantasy.

Hope so. Much better than the baddies vs. badddies of 40K.

Actually the only thing I liked better in 40k was that all factions were baddies to a more or less extent, which I find quite realistic,
while in WHFB it is ways too much good vs bad, i.e. too far from reality.

I agree with you there. 40k has always been "Which flavour of genocidal maniac do you prefer?" I think fantasy has included it, but it has been far too subtle...borderline political. The Empire has been drifting towards zealotry for a while, but the game has never had the big badass story to back it up with (until now). ET is Warhammer's Horus Heresy. An Empire undone, the Elves made homeless, heroes of light and dark and Chaos seemingly unstoppable. _________________" Rork.. a wonderful guy " - Linda Lobsta Defenda

40k has good guys: - Space Marines (of various flavours) - Imperial Gua...Astra Militarum - Tempestus Militarum - The Inquisition - Sisters - Tau - Eldar and bad guys: - Chaos (Daemons and Mortals) - Orks - Tyrannids - Necrons - Dark Eldar Yes, the good guys are very flawed and far from "pure good" but they are definitely the good guys.

I'm with Gidean on this. I can get into the Warhammer fluff because of the ideals that (formerly) motivated the races. There is a sense of optimism despite the chaos in the old FB Universe. 40k is a great Universe, but just too Grimdark for my tastes. I can only handle so much grimdark.

A lot of speculation around, but nothing really new seems to have surfaced. This is the only new stuff I have seen.

A little more speculation has been circulating.
Most of it on what is getting 'squatted'.
However interesting titbit on elves.
Rumour is that they may involve breaking into aspect style factions/units similar to 40k Eldar.
Not sure on how accurate that is but could see it easily being achievable as a way of combining the lists.
