Age of Sigmar: Dawnbringer Crusade Previews – New Cities of Sigmar Armor
Games Workshop is showcasing some of the new looks that the Dawnbringer Crusade will have. Don your armor and fight for the Mortal Realms!
We’ve gotten a look at some of the Dawnbringer Crusade’s accessories and extras as well as black powder and melee weapons. Well today we’re getting a look at some of their new armor. It’s got that Old World feel but with some new twists and a “down to earth” vibe. Let’s check it out!
“Welcome to the latest Dawnbringer Preview, the latest in our ongoing look at one of the game’s most anticipated factions – the Cities of Sigmar, who put the “mortal” in the Mortal Realms. “
Here’s a look at a trio of shields they will have. Note the basic shape as well as the materials that are being used. It’s woods and metals — not fantastical materials like bone or gems. They are functional and still have a little bit of flair, too.
Here’s a look at some armor pieces and honestly…these look like things you might find in a real world museum. Aside from the twin-tailed comet iconography, that’s just a pretty standard set of platemail. And that’s kind of the point. I am curious about the rest of this model though. this sure looks like a mounted knight of some kind. And GW clearly cropped out some details.
Now we have a look at a pair of shoulder pauldrons (I think). I think the details on these pieces is going to be relatively tiny but eye catching. I appreciate the tiny skulls there.
“Within this austere silhouette, there are more ostentatious details, which tells us many of these people are proud and wealthy too. We’re carefully setting a level of wear and tear that communicates they’ve been through storms and battles – these soldiers are exhausted, but still standing.”
That’s all we’re getting today from the Dawnbringer Crusades. How are you feeling about these teasers? Are you getting more hyped about this army yet? I’m looking forward to seeing a new battletome for this army for sure — and a new model range update is going to be exciting.
