I wonder if Ashlynn 2 might faction-jump, Caine 3 style? Struggling to think of a faction she could jump to though: not Khador or a Hordes faction, Cygnar already shares Caine and Constance with Mercs; Protectorate would seem to be the most appropriate choice, but I can't really think how that would actually work out, fluff-wise. Convergence could be... interesting? I can kinda see her joining Cryx, but only if she was killed in the battlefield and raised again; in that case she might accept an eternity of undeath as long as it allows her to keep killing Khadorans. I seem to remember seeing a picture of Ashlynn with flaming wings somewhere. What if a Protectorate Priest tries to Jeann d'Arc her, and Menoth steps in and converting her to a flaming angelic saint. She gains Flight, Flame Resistance, Partisan: Protectorate of Menoth, but is still a high def, meh armor whirling blade of destruction. I really do like the idea of seeing a Partisan Warcaster that isn't with Cygnar.

read aftershock before speculating, maybe? art was commissioned and the character conceived years ago Sadly I can't seem to find much time to read these days. Or paint. Plus I find PP's fiction hard to follow right now (well, it always has been, but it happens to be worse than before for me right now). I haven't actually played the the game for over a year (for a variety of reasons). I still enjoy the forums for a sense of friendship and camraderie. I don't really get that from you though. Besides my earlier post was not speculation (which implies a belief that there is some actual likelyhood of something happening), and more just random baseless "what if" debate just for the sake of having something to talk about. The forums have been a bit quiet lately, and as previously mentioned I was bored. Maybe every suggestion I made may have had less than 0% probability of actually happening, I don't know; but hey, a small handfull of forumites seem to have seen fit to join in the discussion, and I enjoyed reading their posts. Despite your unfortunate loyalty to Khador, I have deeply enjoyed sharing a forum with you and find your "what if" and speculation threads to add a great amount of value to the board. I'm sorry to hear that you haven't had time but hopefully we can keep you hooked long enough for you to see Llael RETURNED TO ITS PEOPLE!

She gains Flight, Flame Resistance, Partisan: Protectorate of Menoth, but is still a high def, meh armor whirling blade of destruction. I really do like the idea of seeing a Partisan Warcaster that isn't with Cygnar. My concern with this route is that it aligns Llael and the Protectorate's interests a little too closely; the Protectorate is an invading force that Llael only allies with out of desperation. I agree the model does make it seem like she's about to be burned at the stake though I'm not sure Menoth would look too kindly on someone who by my best reckoning would turn on the Protectorate as soon as Khador leaves the picture. Llael seems to be trending in a darker direction to reinforce that sense of desperation (gastonne's gun and lifebound spell, sacrifice-focused feats on Ashlynn and Nicolene Beaudrie in high command) which might be better represented by the intercession of other forces (Thamar?). A Faustian bargain to save her country at all costs is totally in character; actual devotion to Menoth and burning nonbelievers would be a totally different direction.

A Faustian bargain to save her country at all costs is totally in character; actual devotion to Menoth and burning nonbelievers would be a totally different direction. So Gastonne represents one possible direction of Lael and Ashlynn represents another. Just add a third representing a Khador-Lael Partisan/Traitor and we have a full triumvirate of possibilities. I am just presenting a possible concept of direction for Ashlynn to go with and taking advantage of current model concepts (even if it is more of a 'joke' model). And while this wouldn't be a "fall from grace" like Sturgis or Caine, it would be a fall from Ashlynn being the focus of the Resistance to being an advocate (albeit a chaotic one) for one of the invaders. Admittedly, I would be fine if she stayed pure Lael Merc and the high Def Warcaster of the Mercenary Faction. She could even be Mercenaries Light Cavalry Warcaster as well (with Damiano being a Heavy).

Gorman2 crucible warcaster confirmed. Where? Or is this a joke that Furry Gorman is actually Gorman2? Text can be hard to interpret at times.

ho lordy...
that was a joke. no gorman warcaster. there is an alchemist warcaster called sylvestro spoiled at wmw that looks like him. go join the CG facebook group for pics. the rest of the thread is goofballs speculating about something that already exists as though PP wouldn't want continuity between their games. and also me providing actual info and trolling them! i am a helpful troll!

Maybe they make another caster that is closer aligned to the protectorate and is Llaelese
