We already have like five gods we would prefer dead, so let's get working on it.
What you don't wanna spend $60+ USD on these beauts???

I can think of at least 7 major ones, and a few minor ones. And that's not counting Sigmar.
The problem is, we need to be a teenager and use the Power of Friendship. The latter could be done if we grind Shallia's favour, but where the hell are we getting that much of the former?

... There might be a way to make it happen, but it requires some dark and dire sacrifices.The problem is, we need to be a teenager and use the Power of Friendship. The latter could be done if we grind Shallia's favour, but where the hell are we getting that much of the former?
And for Magister Apprentice Eike to tragically lose her mentor figure in the fight against evil.
One can only hope: otherwise Warhammer's many magical traditions have all failed terribly.

If generation of imperial wizards and the best and brightest of the dwarfs never managed, I doubt Max will have more luck. He's not a quest protagonist after all.
Is there an equivalent to Australia in Warhammer?
There's the Lost Isles of Elithis in about the right place, but there's pretty much no lore about them and you could as easily argue that they're any or all of the islands of Southeast Asia.

If so, nobody has ever survived the journey to return and tell of it.

Thanks for the updates @Boney, I appreciate them.
I don't have a lot of time to keep up with the thread anymore, on account of me becoming a DM for Raven and their friends. I still look forward to the updates and try to keep up when I can.

If you're gonna play Tomb Kings, you may as well pick up the skeletons from the Soublight Gravelords from AoS and kitbash them to look vaguely Nehekharan than spend even a dollar for these monstrosities. Really not worth it.What you don't wanna spend $60+ USD on these beauts???

Just to note, Kislev having provinces to the east of the World's Edge Mountains isn't new, it's old. Way back in the days of the Warmaster Grand Strategy game it was on the map there.
It's, I think, a callback to that to say that Pre-Great War Kislev had provinces there but lost them by the time of old canon. The borders occupied land occupied by steppe nomads or former stepper nomads such as the Hobgoblins, Kurgan, and Kislevites shifting around, even radically shifting around over the course of a century and a massive war in many ways makes sense, I think, rather than having international borders mostly set in aspic.
Couldn't we just pay an Eonir smith to make us Ithilmar armour?

Thought ithilmars selling point was that it was super light but as resilient as plate, which we already accomplish with the mage armor. So besides looking fancy, why would we want it?
Feel that asking dwarven smiths to make something of ithilmar is how you get dwarven smiths turned into slayers.

You're right. We should wait for the silk! (Well, a different kind of silk - the tough instead of the shiny - but y'know, close enough). Last set of robes had impressive materials but meh execution, so we certainly have room to improve.
Tough silk for the base, a powerstone for... power, and whatever cool thing we manage to find between now and then for extra impressiveness. A woman can dream!

The Eonir will not supply the Empire militarily in any way, whether in books or hardware.
Aesthetic.Is.Everything.
Edit: besides, if people want ithilmar armour, then we could pick up some on the Elfcation. I'm sure the shadow warriors could make a set designed for stealth work.

I was thinking- if they do keep 8th edition's 'Thorgrim won the throne at a Council of Kings' (by no means a guarantee either way), it might be they change it so that Buregar does hold a portion of K8P and uses that as his claim to the throne.
Adds an extra bit of personal tragedy to Buregar if he loses his hold on K8P because he failed to win the High Kingship.
If you want 'tough as plate' you want Gromril. Ithilmar doesn't get that protective unless you go for one of the genuine artifacts.

Pretty sure Gromril is basically adamantine and heavy, while ithilmar is steel but light. So ithilmar can be though as plate, while Gromril would be considerably sturdier. The fandom wiki agrees, but that is basically source trust me bro.
Not sure what the tabletop statistics would indicate, might be the best measuring tool for this.
Anyway, as was brought up, We silk and magic is the best option if we want a new wardrobe, and going by the update we might be getting that soon.

That's what I'm going off of.
Full Plate Armor (only available to the Empire) gives a 4+ save.
Gromril Armor gives a 4+ save.
High Elves don't have access to a 4+ save or better outside of artifacts, like I said. The big place where Ithilmar comes in in their army book is their horse barding, which is so light it doesn't slow down the horse.

Those are some dang nice skeleton minis... but changing the aesthetic to Nehekharan would be a nightmare.
It's a crying shame they didn't redo those models. They were old fifteen years ago.
I wonder if Mathilde habitually carries a bag of dried rice/seeds and a small mirror?

I think she can make a mirror on demand using the workshop cantrips. And, who knows, maybe she still has her personal aversion to them. It's been twenty years, but it's an easy habit to keep going in a pre-modern world.

1-percenter Mathilde just uses a bag of gold coins instead of seeds.
