Nefertata will be coming later anyway. Tomb kings are one of the leaked DLC races.

Neferata's a vampire, though, unless they do a Khalida vs Neferata thing later like this upcoming one.

Anyway, Settra! is pretty much guaranteed, and that makes me happy.

The timeline for warhammer, what I remember of it, did have rather major events seperated by an odd 100 years or so. The specific dates for events was never a major element of warhammer in my mind anyway. I'd much rather Creative Assembly do what they want to include characters and the like then be constrained by dates.


Units like the corpse cart and the mortis engine will be interesting as their more buffing units than combat ones. The Strigoi king is very neat as well and apparently has a spell that can summon units of crypt ghouls or crypt horrors if overcharged. The Templehof Luminark also has the net spell that can hold enemies in place.

Also: I want to see a picture of Vlad. I don't think he had a specific model in the tabletop later versions, though the generic vampire lord was based off of him. From what I know he has two looks, earlier handsome and later skull faced.

[Grim Portent]

He had a metal mini right up until the End Times in tabletop, withered face, bear/wolf pelt cloak, black armour and a sword. Was supposed to be paired with the Isabella model.

For some reason they didn't give Vlad a Mortarch mini during ETs, which I was rather upset over, since he's my favorite von Carstein. 

[Mech#4]

Ah, yes of course. It's all a bit confusing now with Age of Sigmar renaming everything. Games Workshop lists it as just Vampire Lord but the URL still mentions Vlad.

I was getting a bit mixed up. There was a generic vampire lord model, the one with a single bat wing. Still, I guess Vlad will look like the model above.

They did plastic up the Vlad at the end there.

I hope on April 1st next year they release Spess Mahreens DLC.

It would be glorious.

It'd be like Fall of the Samurai all over again.

Fall of the Samurai rocked my world.
You must be thinking of the mistake that was Rise.

What are you talking about?

It'd be amazing! A company of Spess Mahreens versus magic. It'd be like this all over again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj3-VkbRSKQ

Except I have no clue who would win.

-------------

Edit: Also the units from Rise of the Samurai were super duper strong against Fall of the Samurai units funnily enough. They were:

1. Cheap
2. Powerful in melee
3. All in spread formation constantly

They just owned guns so hard.

I guess they could be Sigmarines too. They're the same bloody thing after all. Frigging End Times.

Why use space marines when you can have sigmarines instead?

I actually like the Sigmarines myself, but then the stuff coming from AoS lore has been interesting.. Once they stopped popping out Khorne vs Stormcast, I love the lore behind the new Savage Orks and Beastial Ogres.

[Grim Portent]

I've been keeping an eye on the AoS fluff and I like what I see, but I've not managed to find anything out about my favorites the Beastmen yet.

I do actually like the Stormcast fluff. They're basically Norse Einherjar (keeping the Germanic tones of the Empire) with a Greek/Roman hero aesthetic that suits the sort of stories they seem to be aiming for.

[ZebioLizard2]

Beastmen probably won't be seeing much for a while, until then they fulfill the same role they did in WHFB... Pretty much canonfodder for actual Chaos.

But they brought back marked beastmen with the Tzaangors though!

I may give AoS a lot of shit, but the Stormcasts are actually a good idea. It's just that they're bundled up with crap like renaming stuff for maximum copyright, squatting the Tomb Kings, and so on.
