Age of Sigmar Lore: Wanderers 

I'm playing my sad violin for my Glade Guard wanderers ....

I really hope they expand more on these Old World subfactions, especially the Wanderers

There was a rumor engine posted on the Warhammer Community website showing what looked like a Waystone, so there might still be hope for a stand-alone Wanderer faction

The Wanderers are tree huggers and the Slyventh did not consent

The fact that they're not integral to the city's is kind of keeping to their point though. You said it yourself they are Wanderers without a home and I'm sure elves wouldn't feel very in place with dwarves and humans. So I would wager that they are both aware that the cities of Sigmar can never be their true home and at the same time their true home rejects them.

YAASSSSSSS! Thank you for doing this video! Wanderers were my first army in AoS and I loved the lore that they were without a home and constantly trying to redeem themselves. I saw in Cities of Sigmar that Alarielle now accepts them in the Living City, but I turned away from that and made my Wanderers part of a mixed aelf list (PT, W, SB) that acts as a scouting/patrol force outside of Tempest's Eye. Please do Shadowblades next!

I expect these factions to be expanded upon at some point. The COS book does a great job of giving the orphaned sub-factions a home while they work out how to expand or address them in the future. I expect future branch offs in the future. Kinda like how Nighthaunt while starting off mainly in legions of Nagash got expanded to their own battletome with new models but can still be Legions of Nagash for the most part. A similiar here. I can see a Freeguild or Wanderer battletome in a year or two that adds new models but still allows them to function in Cities of Sigmar should you choose.

Ah my daily dose of 2+ tough. Just what I needed for my walk hole from work.

I really do hope they do do more with the wanderers

I'm grateful that I painted/made my Wanderers in the Realm of Life. Not only for utilizing the rules of Hyish, but for also adding some extra depth to my idea that these nomads have an avenue for redemption and a clear goal to seek it through their achievements in standing for the goals that their deity (Alarielle) represents.

I think part of the reason they move through other realms is too restablish broken waylines to return life magic to the other realms as well. But yeah, the Sylvaneth and the Wanderers relationship may be beyond repair. This quote out of the novella Heart of Winter I think perfectly sums up their relationship when a waywatcher is describing a neighbouring Sylvaneth glade and comments that “they (the sylvaneth) hate my kind even more than they hate humans.” And apparently that’s saying something. Sure they were a dreadwood glade but it goes to show how little in regard they are too the sylvaneth. But also what was interesting it isn’t entirely one-sided. Showing how certain wanderers are developing a mutual dislike towards sylvsneth for their bitterness.

The Sylvaneth should have welcomed the Wood Elves back like lost children. Imagine how the lore could have been weaved. Even the goddess herself walked away, for how long?

Throw them into the realm of beasts and let's go full wild aelves! They can worship the realm as some great hungering beast

A very extremely great video as always Doug.

Another great video bro! Thanks :)

I have a question why didnt morathi and the other elven gods see them when they were looking for elves

Given how many (a)elven looking rumour engines there are lately, I'm thinking we'll see the next generation of wood/high elves early next year.

For a wandering army, having Eternal Guard which have 3+ save and 2 attacks of 2+ to hit and 3+ to wound when not moving is a bit of a mixed massage.

I wonder why they took the Wanderers archers away? They were so good.

Just started a living city army full of emerald metal armour

So are the kurnothi/skaeths wild hunt warband from beastgrave wanderers too? Or are they one off faction/models?

"There's not a lot of lore here" seems to sum up a lot of AoS, outside of a few factions. I know the game's still in a growth phase, but it would be nice if they upped the pace a little.

Any more Cities lore coming?

A question; I want to start playing living city I bought myself a sylvaneth start collecting, but I’m a bit stuck if anyone can help i would be thankful

What about the high and dark elves there’s models for them what’s there story?

GW executive: Man I cant think of a contrived name for the Wood Elves. Makes me wish we didn’t blow up the Old World. *[The Wanderer by Dion starts playing]* IMMA GENIUS!!!

Still want them to do something with the wanderers even though they removed them :,(

This might be kinda boring but as a former Empire/current Free Guild player I want to see a video that focuses on the Free Guilds. I love the idea of normal humans going toe to toe with bloodthirsters armed with only a halberd.

Do you feel there is a disconnect between CoS on the table and CoS in the lore? For me, I love the lore, but the lore doesn’t translate to the table imo. The Warden King, for instance, has abilities tied to the “dispossessed” keyword, same for every other hero, making the tabletop miniatures really only synergistic within their own subfaction, despite the lore of “everyone came together to figure out how to take it all back”. For instance, I’m currently building a Tempest Eye list and decided to go with the Warden King as my leader. His buffs all focus exclusively on dispossessed, making them immune to battle shock and making them better at fighting. Same for the Runelord. So, even though the dispossessed are supposed to have been working side by side, hand in hand with the freeguild, Kharadron Overlords, etc for hundreds of years, they still only care about themselves. All that cooperation in the lore has not really shown on the battlefield.

Seriously she thinks they betrayed her and the Sylvaneth she's not very wise or reasonable two traits a true leader should have in which she's rather lacking in regards to the plight of the Wanderers.

So why is there no wanderer scouts?

The Old World's Wood Elves were the only evles I've cared about. It is sad to see them in this state...

The main unit is missing. Cheap and good bowaelves. The models were ery old and not nice. But to just scrap the core unit seems strange.

I’m curious.. if the sylvaneth hate wanderers so much, why are they available as allied units? Is there any lore to back that up, or is it just because they both hail from Ghyran?
