Nefsokar Alignment Shifting?


Recommended Posts

So I'm looking at the new Nefsokar data cards, and I notice that a bunch of them are listed as Evil rather than Neutral. For example, the new unique mounted hero, Ibrahim, is Evil, but the other mounted characters and the mounted raiders are Neutral.

What's up with that?

I realize the the Reborn and one other older character were Evil, but the rest of the force is/was Neutral. Why the shift?

There are actually a number of factions out there that have more than one alignment, so it isn't suprising to see Nefsokar get some models that are 'Evil'. The Nefsokar are a Neutral faction, with a few models deviating, much in the same way that the Reven have 'Evil' models amongst them.

 

I'm sure the background fluff for various models will explain their alignment, and how they fit into the faction.

Even though an Army is of a set alignment, there are individual models within the Factions that make the alignment impure. It's not just the Neutral armies of Reven and Nefsokar having a bit of the evil in them.

 

Snorri and the Griffon are Neutral in the otherwise good Dwarves

Arnise, Lysette, and Death Seekers are Neutral in the otherwise good Elves.

Chattel are Neutral in the otherwise evil Necropolis.

 

I wouldn't terribly shocked to see a Neutral model in the Overlord faction book.

Heck, you even have Neutrals in the Crusaders (Valandil, for one).

 

I admit, when I've pondered getting a Neutral army (I have a Good and Evil one already), I like the idea of avoiding any evil models, but then that can limit the faction an awful lot (a ton of Revens are evil: goblins, casters, etc.).

Yup, that's why at Gen Con when we had the big 5 v 5 Black Lightning and friends battle, my army was on the the evil side. I think it was Evilbob that had the other army of Reven. I had Skeeters in my army, therefore I was placed on the evil side :devil:

 

Goblins love Evil even more than Maracas :poke:

I hope that we see some Reptus/Good models once the lizards are expanded. It would seem to balance things out a little, since the other two Neutral factions have evil models in them. Someone else mentioned this a few months ago, but I can't remember who it was.

It wouldn't surprise me either. Actually, what did surprise me with the O'lords was that the Bondslaves were evil. :rock: I thought that they would have been Neutral since they're being forced to fight for the Overlords against their will and all.

This would be more logical than making Reptus/Evil models as Reptus are just protecting there land, a bit on the extrem, but still protecting there land when it comes down to is.

 

Overlord/neutral :poke: ... i wouldn't be that surprised, if there put neutral in crusaders, why not some of the evil ones?
