"It makes them sad or crazy...or emo, they're basically emo now". Actually made me laugh out loud.

[@JennFaeAge]

I'm sure an AOS player will correct me if I got this wrong (I'm still relatively on the fringe of it so I'm definitely not 100% clear on this lol), the Ruination Chamber is more...every time a Stormcast is reforged they lose a bit of their humanity (some hosts show it more than others admittedly), the Ruination Chamber are on the verge of basically ceasing to be human so the idea is *supposed to be* that they retire to basically a monastery for the rest of their "lives". Then the ratty boys cause the apocalypse and Sigmar's like "Well fuck, this is a situation where only the Ruination boys and girls can fight" (I'm aware that's super simplified and I've probably pissed off a fan or two, like I said, I'm still getting into it lol)

Basically, all my AoS knowledge comes from reading WD =) Yes I think you're right in that the ruination chamber was a collection of Stormcast who were gonna, er..."retire" but they ended up being more resilient against the effect of the Skaven (I think) and so were sent off to fight some more.

[@JennFaeAge]

@@WarGamerGirl I almost compared it to the Death Company, except the Blood Angels and their successors actively send them into battle so the comparison doesn't quite work lol. I haven't actually played AoS yet but reading (and indeed watching) Blacktalon got me into it

Sacrosanct chamber was from 2nd ed. They went back to azyr to find a cure. They're models were removed to legends.

[@WarGamerGirl]

Aww, lame! 😭😭

[@bryanvestal3923]

​@WarGamerGirl I know right. Literally half of my Stormcast army went to legends. I will still use them tho.

[@bryanvestal3923]

Great review Miranda.

[@squallgoku777]

Another great video Miranda, love that comment at the end about the Tau lol. Again, no DarkTide content which is disappointing, they released that game out into the wild and have forgotten about it already.

I'm quite a newby, but loving Warhammer, but feel white dwarf seems to have little Hobbying, and more gaming and stories, lore.

[@WarGamerGirl]

That's certainly the case with this issue. They typically fluctuate the ratio of AoS/40k/hobbying/other from issue to issue.
