    That Reckoning game REALLY deserved better, its style was 100% on point.

    *Ahem* if you miss the game/wanted to play it, I suggest that you look it up on Google and check what's been going on with it recently, you might be pleasantly surprised.
    How is it? I've some experience with private servers (WoW) and its not been really positive.

    A sad day indeed when the forums have been so overrun that highly-respected veterans like @Crossil and @Red_Dox are getting multiple disagrees for well-reasoned, logical arguments.
    Remember: there's no reason to get angry on the forums. Be polite and respectful towards other people's opinions, even if you disagree.

    Love their model and really hope we get something like that for WH3.

    AoS.

    Those would imo be good AoS examples, which with a bit toning down, might be fit into WHFB good enough.

    I could not tell you much about the in-game experience since I'm not a big MMO fan, but I can at least tell you it's got a pretty active community (generally passionate about the setting too since the game's mainstream presence is nearly non-existent), and the total lack of monetization helps make a healthy playerbase. I know some youtubers who enjoy it more than WoW, but yeah, I suggest taking a look in other forums for players' experiences. Loremaster of Sotek for example has done some streams playing the game if you're looking for gameplay videos.

    I haven't played a lot of it but I did run in a few bugs, nothing major though. Overall it's a good experience so far.

    I have to admit, it's quite ironic that I find the unaligned Cypher Lords to look better than the Kairos acolytes as Tzeentch warriors. Plus their warfare is described as being based on illusions and decoys, and that's very thematic.



    Still, it doesn't matter, Fantasy Tzeentch doesn't look like that, and it shouldn't look like that, as much as they shouldn't look like Chaos Space Marines. Those are all different IPs. I truly hope GW didn't sacrifice lore and aesthetic for cheap promotion.

    Not my favorite Tzeentch-related model, but absolutely nothing about this goes against the designs of Tzeentch daemons. If anything, Tzeentch is THE god of weird, anachronistic, visually contrasting designs, and I hope his race's visuals draw some inspiration from Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower among other stuff.

    I'm afraid to tell you that all the 4 Greater Daemons shown in the Trailer are right from AoS, with Bloodthirster from ET.

    This little ugly crap is the unique WHFB version of the Keeper of Secret.

    There's also this artwork where we can see the furies are using the Fantasy model instead of the AoS one so not everything is going to use the AoS model.

    They didn't choose the AoS Keeper of Secrets. They chose the updated model of the Keeper of Secrets.

    And the main issue those old models had wasn't the design, but quite simply the casting tech.

    As you see here, the Box clearly says "40k" and "AoS

    That statement isn't clear enough if you ask me. They say they won't use AoS stuff and then we saw a few AoS models in the trailer so where is the actual limit ? Can they only use the AoS models of units that exist in Fantasy or will they be allowed to bring some units from AoS ? Imo they never should have made that statement or they should've been more clear.

    So far... I'd say that a CGI trailer isn't really counterproof. Why? Because otherwise, if we apply the same logic, we have standard bearers in the game because they are in teh CGI trailer for Game 1.

    And none of you brought any actual evidence aside of the CGI trailer using the updated models for all greater Daemons.

    Eh, as of today, I don't see a single AoS unit in WH3. I see updated daemons, but those are cross-IPs and are shared with 40K. The furies, as you've said, kept their classical look. For now, I have no reason to doubt the veracity of this claim !

    No, they chose the actualizedl KoS. It's not an AoS model, no more than it's a 40K model.
    To be fair, one could pose the question: is a model that's from both 40k and Age of Sigmar better than one that comes only from Age of Sigmar?

    I know, I know, these are just updated daemon models and I agree that's much easier to justify than things that were made purely for AoS. I'd still argue that I wouldn't assume what CA's "no Age of Sigmar stuff" statement entails, especially in regards to using those designs, partially or completely. Let's not forget they've got the possible "loophole" of GW potentially putting a few AoS units as playable in the The Old World with a different lore behind their look.

    They are in a bit of a weird spot. My AoS lore is pretty incomplete but from what I understand they have mortal origins but are daemonic in their current nature, as they're described as both in different canonical sources. They're probably kind of similar to daemon princes in their idea but with a different purpose and focus in mind.

    I personally kinda like some other designs better even though I don't dislike them, though they do have a pretty specific context in AoS so I wouldn't expect them to come to game 3 even if CA chooses to bring in some of the newer daemon units. We'll see!

    Can you show us proof about that statement being false? And no, greater demons dont count, one thing is using the updated model of something that existed in fantasy and other thing is taking an original AoS unit or character and using it in fantasy.
