Kronos

Ogors Leaving destruction as the Mercenaries centred army they once were to fulfill the Destruction-Order Slot. And Perhaps we get one of those odd Chaos Deities, Malal or such for Chaos Death. Great concept btw.

It did have a decent model back in the day.

This is the second post I’ve seen in a week about Vampire Counts returning because of the Success of Old World. Anyone heard similar. I don’t know the reliability of this but it’s not too far fetched ? Consume with salt.

Valrak was talking about Fimirs on his stream recently, but he said for Kill Team? He himself seemed unfamiliar with Fimirs - I personally can’t see them return, but then 10 years ago if you told Me Nagash would get a big plastic kit and the Primarchs would be returning to 40k I’d have poured all the Salt out of my cupboard to have that conversation.

Fuff, now you really have my attention. My mind is travelling 100mph as to what that means. My heart says Morghur, Corruption, Mutation. ….But it’s going to be something stupid like making Ogors a cities faction, getting rid of Fyre Slayers and Giving Kragnos a Silly named champion to encourage more sales of that Hoofed Oaf. But on the positive side - How Good is Death Looking as a faction. Scroll back 6 years ago and who could have predicted Ossiarch, Night Haunt, Flesh Eater courts with Ushoran and even Soul Blight. I feel the Death Range is a Paragon for What AoS should be.

More work on Nagash.

Chiming in on the aosmification of the Clanrats. Skaven, as with Lizardmen and possibly Chaos Dwarfs, are a few of the armies which to me were already High Fantasy in WHFB. I always felt those 3, and I guess Daemons to an extent, kind of already stepped outside of what WHFB was. Lizardmen and Skaven really feel like they belong to the Realms because their Aesthetic has always been, pretty Eccentric. But that could very well be to just to my mind and eyes. Remember we all perceive Things, including warhammer, Through entirely different experiences and attach our own notions and experiences of film, literature, art etc. Mine has always been that the Steam Punk Ratmen that used magic stones of pure magic to create Electric Weapons and telephones to be quite the oddball in the Warhammer World. Same went for the Inter-dimensional Space Toads/Lizards.

Humble Pie I’ve eaten today.…it is in fact the new Clanrats that are a Solid Kit, keep em coming. Can’t wait to turn the whole lot into Skaven Zombies. I remember when the Island of Blood Clan Rats were released in 2010. I remember sitting at my room in Uni thinking “these are the best models they’ve ever made” - Crazy what 14 years of Technology can do. Imagine how good Malerion and his Aelves will look when they’re released in 80 years.

It’s probably been mentioned before. But there is a strange twist of Fate in seeing First Generation Stormcast disappear whilst having Bretonnia and Tomb Kings available on the Online store after 10 years. This hobby really is a rollercoaster of Emotions. You’ve got Seraphon hanging out in AoS and Orcs and Goblins kicking it in Old World and AoS. I’ve tried to make sense in my head of the development of the recent days, I still don’t know how I feel.

I’ve entirely missed these, what Underworlds game was this for?

To me it sounds like the BoC will be going through some sort of apotheosis. They will Either side with one of the Chaos Gods as Slaangors and Tzaangors or they will succumb to devolution and became a Gavespawn - What That looks like is unknown but I think they want Morghur and his masses to be very different to how we see Old World Beastmen. It could well be a chance to have Beastmen of a range of Fauna and some varied Spawn like Beasts. Shame that it seems that they will drop out anytime before they get anything relative to a replacement. But Chaos Dwarfs went oop a few years ago now and we’ve only recently heard murmurs of their return. If there any consolation in that.

So is that Fyreslayers or Ogors?

Call me an Old Grumbler, but I feel that such sour announcements of removal of so many miniatures should be done AFTER showing all the shiny things that will replace them. And ehile we’re in this negative territory, I can’t believe we’re seeing an entire generation of stormcast come and Go before we even get Malerion and his Shadow Aelves. Umbraneth Vs Skaven should have been the starter box. Maybe an early Glimpse of the Rumoured Grombrindal might cheer me up. But otherwise I can’t say I’m feeling the hobby at the moment.

Where’d you find this gem?
