It’s raining new terrain! Don’t miss the latest new terrain pics for what is coming next for AoS that have been spotted in May’s White Dwarf!
The White Dwarf magazine has been getting all sorts of pics previewed around the web recently. Looking into the realm of Sigmar, it looks like we’ve got a lot of terrain headed our way. Make sure you check out the first previews we saw before jumping straight into the new stuff!
Rumors of Named Terrain Kits
We all know that every AoS faction that’s been updated has no real reason NOT to take their terrain piece. It’s free and gives all sorts of bonuses depending on which faction you’re playing. Either way, it looks like a few new terrain/scenic kits might be on the way to AoS. The names mentioned from an industry insider are:
- Sigmarite Dais
- Enduring Stormvault
- Shattered Temple
- Fallen Statues
First Wave of Terrain Spotted in White Dwarf
With the mention of the Sigmarite Dais, Enduring Stormvault, Shattered Temple, and Fallen Statues, We’ve got an early look of the kits in the next White Dwarf coming from Jamie the Jasper on Twitter.
Assuming all of the kits are in these two pictures, we’re thinking that the Enduring Stormvault is the terrain piece with Sigmar carved in stone. The Sigmarite Dais could be what the Celestant Prime is standing on. Daughters of Khaine are standing atop the Shattered Temple, and finally, the fallen statues could just be the crumbled remains in the corners of the pictures (i.e to the left by the Spirit Hosts in the first pic).
More Terrain Pics Spotted in White Dwarf LATEST
Looking at a Blogspot post, there’s a laid-out pic showing all of the terrain a bit more spread out from the first pics from above. There are two takeaways from this pic. First, we can actually see all of the terrain bits for what looks to be the fallen statues. Beyond that, take a look at the pillars with torches strewn across the battlefield. (They’re labeled A, B, C, & D). These are apparently umbral torches that need to be lit in order to interact with the temple in the center of the battlefield. What exactly happens when the torches are lit, we don’t know. But this may give players a tertiary objective in their games! On top of holding objectives across the map, they could be lighting torches to activate a temple!
What kind of terrain piece uses the umbral torches? More questions than answers are popping up as we dive further into the AoS terrain mystery! Make sure you let us in on your thoughts in the comments of our Facebook Hobby Group.
