This lack of news is discouraging

What a silent place we have here for a while. So I'll feel free to share something I've been thinking. It is my opinión that this (hopefully marvellous) Old World is something greatly impulsed by the Total War success, and there you can see how some characters have a different look related to their classic counterpart , beign Snikch the DeathMaster a clear example. I believe it is very feasible the Special Characters miniatures reflect this New looks rather than the classic ones. What do you think?

It totally reminds me of the Old Mangler Squigs from WHFB. Heck, it is almost a perfect mix between the faces the 2 models had. I'm pretty sure this is greenskins's stuff. Fingers crossed.

It's pretty common knowledge that we have never been announced about a project so early too, so the amount of time needed to develop TOW or any other system has nothing to do in my opinion.

To be honest, actually the weirdest thing I found here and that I really can't buy is TOW beign announced by GW yet when supossedly there are still 3/4 years for it to be launched 😕??? Is there any precedent for such an anticipated reveal on WH History? What is the reason for this rush? I have the impression that we are beign deceived, and it will come out a lot sooner than we are beign told... 3/4 years is more than enough time for things to happen, like to suffer a cancellation/delay, and so. I can't see the point in taking the risk of letting down the fan base.

The scaly thing and the New rumour engine are from the same model: We are seeing the New greenskins wyvern tail and chest/belly plate. ☺️

Just make Greenskins more humanesque "culturally speaking" ala WHFB, more greedy, with the Diogenes Syndrome carrying on whatever piece of clothe fur armour metal or whatever you want, not just a bunch of punchers in ironclad. For me the problem with IJ is that they seem too "clean", just metal and skin, no real trophies aside some beast skulls . Play wise, made them heavier on cavalry/chariots/machines, charge impacts and put the Gitmob again in the mix. Make their purpose to run at full speed through all mortal realms like a tornado without stopping, because they workship Gorkamorka's first strike on land and they have to continue moving the force it generated eons ago. Think in something like Mad Max going green. I'm a nerd of Old Fashioned O&G, I'm not denying it, but I truly belive this would work so effing good.

I can't really believe nobody is speculating with my good Old fashioned Greenskins when Destruction is on topic...it ain't proppa...

On the Idoneth codex there are only 2 references to greenskins, both beign about orruks, but what I found interesting is that while the second one specifies a "Bonesplitters´ vast raft-flotillas fleet", the first one talks about a "flotsam islands constructed by the greenskins" without clarifying their faction. To make rafts is one thing, but whole islands is another that seems very out of the Bonesplitters league. Furthermore, and while this could be wild speculation for my part, lately some events like it´s been rumoured that Destruction is going to have some love in the next months, plus GW seems to be eager to "resurrect" old Destruction factions (see Ogres), the fact that Greenskins are legal on the Big Waaagh (they were took out and retaken again later in the WB, and we even get a Faq and update on the orc warboss CA) while their models are no more avaible, added to that we now have the incoming new Goblin Wolf Riders while the keyword Gitmob is removed from the GW Webstore, and... where the f**k has the Foot of Gork gone to?, it all makes me think that old (regular) Orcs and Goblins are going to be gathered again ala Orruk Warclans in a future battletome. It would continue the trend and makes sense. They can be different from the IJ and BS beign more humanized/technological (which will match their aesthetics), this new army could be heavy on cavalry and chariots/machines (where goblins put their doom divers and rock lobber). I can even see their battletome called "Rampaging Destroyers"...it would be cool. Besides that, if you look at the Legends PDF, there is no warscroll for Orc Warboss or Orc Great Shaman on Boar, maybe because there will be new models with new warscroll that will affect their profile, the same way BS boar boys affected the savage orc boar boys´one, or the Mangler Squigs have there a warscroll ala Gloomspite instead of the former Compendium one. Just my two cents.

That is a very good scenario. To the destruction narrative, having a somehow more reflexive and plotter/schemer faction would be great. Imagine greenskins making not only the more technical/mechanical work, but determined to conquer the Mortal Realms for GorkaMorka, sometimes gathering, and sometimes manipulating, the other orruk and grot races to crush everything that is not greenskinned, looking for the arrival of the ultimate Great Waaagh! The rumored Great Prophet of GorkaMorka heared lately could fit very well into this. Also, a merge ala Orcs and Goblins of old, being Greenskis and Gitmob one new faction, would provide a different enough take from the extant ones, giving more depth and variety to Destruction. Worth to note something on here: The command ability of the Fungoid Shaman affects both orruks and grots. This made me think it may be a sign in that sense.

Greenskins have been mentioned in the Idoneth book, saying they were the builders of an isle fortress if I recall correctly. Hope this means they are on a revamp. I theorized some time ago with my playing group that given the current orruk status , beign Ironjaws the heavy hitters and Bonesplitters monster-killer oriented, the technological approach would fit them somehow both playing-wise and taking into account their more human influenced esthetic . Maybe, if it is going to be made, they will carry warmachines and stuff, and will have better battalions options making them more military /tactical, showing that they are cunning, but still brutal. Well, a greenskin general can dream too I suppose ...

Let named characters to be able to use the generic ones command abilities. I find pretty absurd that Gorbad or Grimgor can´t declare a Waaagh!!! while a generic Orc Warboss can. And give legacy some love!

Totally agree. GW is going in the right direction. Buying the book is a must if you really want AoS to continue this path. And the price is pretty fair.
