IIRC the name Warhammer has actually got nothing to do with Ghal Maraz at all, and was based off of the Chaos Lord Harold Hammerstorm, AKA Harry the Hammer. https://warhammerfantasy.fandom.com...merfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Harald_Hammerstorm
Yeah I only learnt that today when it mentioned a review of 1st Ed in the critical reception.
Not argueing this point. What I am saying is that judging by the trailer rulers of Cathay are aware of the Old Ones and may believe themselves and their civilisation superior to the Old ones.
That's not necessarily an indicator he's an Aqshy dragon. CA's thoughts might very well be different from how Boney figures dragons who are spellcasters work. Not to mention, even beyond that, you're assuming Iron Dragon is a type of dragon, rather than an epithet. He might be called the Iron Dragon because of his personality or something.
There wasn't one. Basically anything before 4th edition is radically different from what you'd think of as Warhammer. 3rd was close, but there was still some weird stuff. For instance, all the Empire units were named in German.
Minor correction; 1984.
It should probably be remembered that although Games Workshop are most famous for their own products, they got started making game boards and then as an importer.
He definitely is a dragon, I'm just questioning whether there's a type of dragons called Iron Dragons or he's a dragon sometimes called the Iron Dragon because of his personality rather than elemental leanings.The other promotional image of him does provide some pretty strong evidence of him being a literal dragon.
Yes, Zhao Ming's title is the Iron Dragon, and Miao Ying's title is the Storm Dragon. It's certainly not their type of dragon, but I was a bit confused because the Storm Dragon was producing lightning so how she got the name was obvious, but Zhao Ming is spitting fire and he's named the Iron Dragon? Different conventions I guess. I would have expected him to have iron like scales or something.
The notes mention that Dragonblood sorcerors use Yin and Yang, but that Cathay also has an abundance of "Astromancers" and "Alchemists". That strikes me as the Dragonbloods have their own yin yang discipline, but that they also employ Chamon/Azyr in the rank and file? I'm interested in seeing how it plays out, but Astromancy was always a thing with Cathay so it isn't exactly a surprise.
I thought non wind aligned dragons also had a fire breath. I'm not sure breathing fire is evidence they're Asqy alligened.The other promotional image of him does provide some pretty strong evidence of him being a literal dragon.
Breathing fire is fine, but his human form uses fire in a distinct not breath way:
I think they're going for a unique lore, going by the "earthbending" mage in the trailer who summon inky/metallic tendrils. I have no idea how that works but it was cool.
Not quite. The Great Quest was for the elixir of immortality, but most of the craft was centered around high temperature crucibles and distillation apparatus.
Yeah so what? Do you think that the transformation from dragon to human or vice versa is a Ashqy flavoured version of the Transformation of Kadon?Breathing fire is fine, but his human form uses fire in a distinct not breath way:
Maybe I'm misreading your tone, but this reads to me as quite aggressive.
IF something like that is possible I would like Mathilde to turn in to Shadow Dragon please.
Sorry wasn't my intention.
Yes if its possible I would like that. Is it possible? I doubt it.
Funnily enough Mathilde does have a book somewhat related to the Great Bastion. New info released a few hours ago says that Miao Ying has ruled the Northern Provinces and the Great Bastion for centures. She's basically a geographical feature at this point.
