An Army Book in the Warhammer Fantasy tabletop wargame, is a rules supplement containing information concerning a particular army, environment, or worldwide campaign. Army Books for particular armies were introduced for the fourth edition of the game (prior to that all armies were included in the main rulebook). The army book for Beastmen for the 7th edition of the tabletop war game Warhammer Fantasy Battles. By laura2marx in Types > Instruction manuals, fantasy, and game The army book for Beastmen for the 7th edition of the tabletop war game Warhammer Fantasy Battles.
The Empire. Sir Calard of Garamont (From The Knights of Brettnia Novel series), also happens to be the grail knight on the cover of the 6th edition Brettonia army book. Egil Styrbjorn, High Jarl of the Skaelings, for either WoC or norsca if they become their own faction. (Grail knight and Knight of the Realm novels) Both of those characters are near perfect for a Lord DLC, both having named wargear as well as a very personal rivalry between each other. There is also a whole bunch of characters referenced in the Beastmen 7th ed army book, who are like Duke Alberic, named but with no model or rules; Kloven Blood-Gorge Skarr Black-Horn Khorok Manripper Ragush of the Bloody Horn Magok the Stone Horn If any of these are actually to come out then I would like it to be Magok, because he more or less started an entire war against the Skaven and even Killed a Grey Seer in Single combat. Additionally regarding Daemons and Chaos I have a small suggestion.
Could you please divide some Lords from Chaos Warriors and Chaos Daemons and put them on their respective Chaos God factions. Because if the leak is right.
CA is planning to make 4 Daemon of Chaos factions. Valkia the Bloody is definitely going to be Khorne's Daemons Faction Leader. She won't a LL for the Chaos Warriors faction. Valkia is not a daemon. She is a chaos warrior ll. I would suggest king amanhotep the intolerant of zandri would make a great lord for the tk's. Especially if they include ship based combat.
We can argue that Valkia is part daemon, from the lore point, but -she has no special rules regarding real Daemons (Daemonic Aura, Instability, Daemonic Attacks) -she is explicitily listed in the 'Warriors of Chaos' armybook (7th+8th), which shifts her in the 'mortal' range. Since CA wants to keep the races seperated as are the books in 8th, Daemon LLs will probably first be chosen from the Daemons armybook. And why should we shift Valkia over there, if we have Skulltaker & Skarbrand already as an option for 'Khorne leading Daemons'? Valkia has better chances to lead a WoC Khorne themed campaign/army (second standalone expansion), just because she is a 8th arymbook Lord there instead of many 'older' Khorne WoC Lords/heroes from the past.Red Dox. Very Nice Red Dox! I suggest you put pictures to show how they look like. Anyways, Im really wondering how Ca picks whom LL are going to appear in the game.
Check out this thread: From I what i saw in another article, CA wants different type of LL for each race. For example, if 1 LL is melee, they will pick another type whom is mage. But the thing is some other type of LL are not popular. For me, I prefer if CA picks those who are popular or expected by some of the community rather than picking someone nobody expects. Wow that must have taken you AGES to compile! Definitly took its time Losing an evening of work after exceeding the draft format and so stuff got deleted/not saved proper was for example a setback.
But it is still a work in progress. Right at the moment I still have a bunch of guys from lore left to check out. For exmple, member these guys? And to flip through old WDs has its perks with finding interesting older articles (say what you want, but the 6th edition was probably the most diversed and the best for 'content for fans').
Still not sure if I should include the huge pile of horrible Endtimes redshirts in the lists or maybe make a own category for them. Additionally regarding Daemons and Chaos Could you please divide some Lords from Chaos Warriors and Chaos Daemons and put them on their respective Chaos God factions. Divided WoC, DoC, Vampires & Skaven in their Gods/Bloodlines/Clans. And added some WFRP Vampires to bolster their ranks for that.
But I think thats it. Dividing Empire/Elves/Dwarfs/etc. Is probably a nightmare since most of the models have no 'clear' faction part. Having a huge stack of 'Associates' like with the VCs, while one or two names will stand in a Dwarf karak/Empire province/etc. Does probably not look that good. For me, I prefer if CA picks those who are popular or expected by some of the community rather than picking someone nobody expects. Well, their 'strange' picking seems only to start when the obvious choices are made.
King Louen & Morgiana for Bretonnia were clear from showing us Bretonnia on the map. Alberic is the wildcard as a third, but to be fair even if Bretonnia has a huge ammount of guys left, some of them do not offer so much different to King Louren/Morgiana.
I mean we can also expect that Skaven will start with Thanquol. I see no way around that. We can further assume that Queek Headtaker will be in from start, to finish the Eigth Peaks quartet (and maybe offer a different startposition to Skavenblight) oder at least will come with a DLC/Patch later. Also at least one Clan Pestilens charakter will probably be in from start or come through DLC/Patch for trouble in Lustria. But besides that, who knows who else could be a lucky winner in LL lottery? Guessing who shows up for Woodelves is a bit more tricky.
Ariel for example could get a starting spot but she would also make a good LL for one of those rival DLCs versus Morghur. Which could bring extra units/RoR for both DLCs, effectivly ending in 'DLC for DLC and Money for the Money God' -Red Dox. How exhaustive are you looking to be on named loreful characters? I gave you a few above is that what you are looking for or are they too vague?
Happy to drop in any other names and sources i find if you want me to. Can't say right now. Saved every name mentioned here, but have not looked over Beastmens and Dwarfs in that case again. By Dwarfs the next look will be on the WFRP, I know that at least the Stone & Steel book has a own 'Renown Dwarfs' section, so that should probably add a few names. For lore names I have probably to decide how 'important' they are after all. I remember Duregar from the Eigth Peaks battle.
But if that was his only accomplishment, he will probably be left out because his role in the world is 'to small' and does not offer anything that other already included sideshow redshirts can't do the same. In that case I see more 'value' in campaign redshirts then pure lore redshirts. Black Library novel charakters in that case are also a bit hard to decide. I mean Malus Darkblade, which first premiered in the Warhammer monthly Comics, then got the story retold in books and then got his own miniature and TT rules is the prime example how it could work (even better then Felix & Gotrek who are still more adventurer/mercenary then world conquering LLs). But other novel charakters do not seem fit for LL expectations (for example: Genevive) and I have not read that many BL novels in that regard (like above mentioned Bretonnia novel for Sir Calard) so need some more browsing on the web and evaluating. Just pile in names if you have ones, they do not get lost here (except CA or a eager mod starts deleting for whatever reason) and even if it may take a long period of time to filter through, I probably do at one point -Red Dox. I mean we can also expect that Skaven will start with Thanquol.
I see no way around that. We can further assume that Queek Headtaker will be in from start, to finish the Eigth Peaks quartet (and maybe offer a different startposition to Skavenblight) oder at least will come with a DLC/Patch later. Also at least one Clan Pestilens charakter will probably be in from start or come through DLC/Patch for trouble in Lustria. But besides that, who knows who else could be a lucky winner in LL lottery -Red Dox If Ikit Claw doesn't make it in I will cry profusely!
It's worth noting both Gorbad Ironclaw and Grom the Paunch both have kind of a King Arthur routine to them (the Welsh folklore version), both lose their respective final battles. Not to mention neither of them have been confirmed dead at the end of their respective story arcs and just sort of vanish with whispers of their possible return among the greenskins. The problem with Gorbad A)he never recovered from his Runesword wound.
Which in the end weakend him hard enough to lose his tght grip on his Waagh. And he failed at sieging Altdorf and got beaten pretty bad in the aftermath by the dwarves before he vanished.
B)his prime time was 1707-1712. Despite the idea that he is long dead, the question is if such a old relic would stand a chance in 'modern days' combat C)after all, he would just be another Orc Warboss in competition to Azhag & Grimgor. Imo they could better make Gorfang Rotgut a true LL first (for the Karak Eigth Peaks quartet). Grom vanishing in 2424 could be easier flexed in the game (second Goblin LL would be not bad). But since his Waaagh!
Reached Ulthuan, I have no hopes for him before the first standalone expansion. And even then I doubt he is in from start. I see more of a Grom the Paunch VS Eltharion the Grim DLC as possible future. But isn't that the point you made at the very beginning of your OP about Ghorst that literally 'anyone' could become a LL including long dead characters? Anyone, that makes sense.
Like for example every one that had TT rules or was at least redshirt in a campaign. Or.could be. a world conquering leader and army general if we stretch over to WFRP/lore decisions.
Detlef Sierck is a theather guy, a really good actor, a good writer for plays. He is a absolute desaster with financing a play (hence his adventure starts with him in prison for a really huge debt). Brave enough to fight but with no real experience or training he could probably hold a Goblin at bay but five or more will eat him for breakfeast. He is, at no means, someone who should even be considered LL (hence novel char with no TT rules). If we do, we can also call for random beggers of Altdorf and we got at least 150 sideshow charakters from different WFRP adventures out of hill billy towns, like Martha the tavern wench, who also could be considerd.
And Highpriest of Shallyah is similar. Think of Mother Theresa. Would you appoint her Emperess and Armygeneral/Warleader? -Red Dox. Considering the OP's summary, I would not expect some minor character to appear in any of the new games right away. So while Malekith is an obvious choice for a starting LL for a Dark Elf expansion, Crone Hellebron isn't.
But once dlc's for either new lords or new factions with lords come into play, it's almost.open season? As mentioned, Vlad's been dead for ages but now comes back, Ghorst was a very small character in the lore and such, yet can now be a lord equalling any starting lord with far richer background.
I know Alberic is coming with the playability of Bretonnia, but that's for an already established race, at least somewhat, for an already established game with a delay on top of it, so I wouldn't use him as a rule for what will come with races in new expansions. It's good to take this one into account when speaking of this as well. The new lord on the far right of the 'plan' has a spiky background, so I'm thinking either chaos or VC, given the houses in the foreground I'm going to guess it's the VC getting some extra love. Now, it's next to Bretonnia, so there's a chance there that it's some lord tied to Mousillon. However, the White Dwarf is mashed in ahead of the 'plan', so such an assumption has a glaring hole in it, ergo, it could be anyone.
If the assumption of Mousillon holds, the Red Duke is a real viable candidate. Sure, he's the scourge of Acqutaine, but he's at least frequenting Bretonnia and as a lord taking over Mousillon he would be perfectly positioned to continuing the scourging. Wallach Harkon is also possible, but thematically it doesn't fit as well, I feel. If, however, the Moussilon assumption doesn't hold, I'd vote Neferata in a heartbeat. She's awesome, different and considering Vlad and Mannfred could bury the hatchet, I see no reason why she wouldn't be possible as another LL choice for the VC. Heck, during the heresy that is the End Times she was regent of Sylvania!

GW won't give it away for cash either, these days, so I wouldn't feel too bad about finding a downloadable version 'somewhere'. If you want a physical copy, ebay maybe? There's a whole bunch of 6th Ed ones for $5-8.00 'Buy it Now.'
A 7th ed one is floating on the first page of my search results for a similar price too. Probably not worth buying by itself, but if you ever were on e-bay for something else and wanted to pick it up it might be worth a quick stop. Can grab some Kislev models while you're there, or whatever. If GW had half a brain they'd leverage the success of this game and relaunch 8th ed. The Kingdom of Games workshop does not make mistakes and so Age of Sigmar is the best invention since Finecast.
Which was the best invention since sliced bread! On a funny sidenote: Many, many veterans of the TT advocated that one of the major points, 'breaking' the back of 8th edition was the extreme pricing they went for while 'doubling' the needed miniature ammount with the 8th edition rules and simultaniously cutting the box content in half (who nees 20 orc boy boxes if you can get the shiny new 10 orc boxes, with extra bits and cost a little less, but not half the price you had before. Now, one year after AoS has established his somehow success as a.skirmish. game, which is advertised by fans for needing less miniatures, they bring 'starterboxes' out for that game which do what needed to be done in 8th edition but in the capitalist sense of doing business, make the same mistake for the current game. But somehow you still have people clapping their hands and praise them. Probably the 9th Age players who still want/need big regiments. 8th edition: 10 Savage Orcs box = 25€ I need at least 20 for a regiment, better 25-30 AoS: 20 Savage Orc box = 40€.good thing in skirmish we need less?
