Spinsane Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 So, we know that the next two warbands will be more Stormcast (Vanguard) and Khorne (Blood Warriors). But what can we expect afterwards? Personally, there are a few warbands I'd definitely like to see: Daughters of Khaine, especially if we get a mix of Aelves, Melusai and Khinerai) A Sigmarite Witch Hunter and crew, ala Mordheim warband, so maybe a hound, a sigmarite priest and a flagellant or two? Warbands for the other chaos gods. I'd particularly like a Slaangors or Pestigors warband, even though I assume Tzaangors are more likely Moonclan grots! Bonesplitters A bunch of Ghouls Maybe a Vampire and thralls? Any other ideas/wants? I'm not sure how Daemons (including the Seraphon/Silvaneth) would fit, considering I haven't been paying close attention to the AoS lore, so figured I'd leave them out...

Goblin-King Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Basically every faction should eventually get a warband. That being said: Definitely Daughters of Khaine - though personally I'd prefer the more humanoid fighters over the monstrous. Not that they aren't really cool, but for a warband in this particular setting I kinda feel it shouldn't be a too mixed bag hen it comes to composition. I imagine them fast and fragile like Reavers. I'm also a big fan of Moonclan Grots. No idea how they would go about making them. 5 models at the very minimum. They have lots of fun options like shaman, squigs and fanatics. Like above, not all at once though. These two are the ones I REALLY wish for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elkerlyc Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 (Top 5 in no particular order) 1- Nurgle Warband 2- Dark Elf 3-High (or Wood) elf 4-Lizardmen 5-Goblins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harioch Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Well here we go: 1-Daughters of Khaine (and/or Idoneth if they look cool) 2-Gutbusters or Beastclaws: I would like to see a 2 men warband or 2 with Sabretooths. 4-Moonclan 5-Soulblight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinsane Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 I had figured Ogres might be too large for Shadespire, but if GW decide to include them, I'd go with a pair of Maneaters, or a Hunter with a sabertooth or two... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goblin-King Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Each new season will feature 2 Stormcast and 2 Khorne warbands! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
someone2040 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Well, Stormcast have kinda run out of steam for now I think, as they don't really have anywhere else they can go in the current range. Kinda why I think it's probably a mistake to have the Farstriders in this season of Shadespire. That being said, I think Khorne will most likely take a break and another god(s) will get warbands next season. If I had to guess what we'd see in future (Without knowing the setting of the next season): Kharadron Overlords - Think there was actually a short story or something about them heading into Shadespire. I think they also make sense as 'pirates' searching for stuff in Shadespire. Moon Clan Grots - Moonclan seem like they're pegged to be the first Grot release for AoS, and I think they can have an interesting warband between Grots and Squigs (Perhaps having a Squig Hopper as the warband leader!). Bonesplitterz - Makes sense as an AoS developed race to push them further with Shadespire. Tzaangor Coven - I think either Tzeentch or Nurgle (or both) may feature in the next season, and Tzaangors make sense. Acolytes could also be cool but hopefully we don't see 2 Tzeentch bands taking up space. Mortal Nurgle - Blightking leading some plagued and diseased mortals around would be cool. Ghoul King + Ghouls - Not the most inspiring of warbands, but given we don't know what else is coming for Death, a launch into the Flesh-Eater Courts side of things makes the most sense to me. Those would be the top 6, but then for the last two lets go a bit more far reaching: Idoneth Deepkin - Dark horse pick since we haven't even seen them yet. I think we'll see some kind of Aelves making their way into Shadespire, and the Idoneth might make sense searching for souls or some knowledge to cure their illness (or whatever plagues them). Freeguild - Human mercenaries always hit it out of the park. I would be super keen to see what GW would do with them, but they don't seem like a faction GW are interested in developing further since they've got Stormcast now. And the dark dark horse, Deathcast Eternals (or whatever Death's new race manages to be). This would end up meaning that Season 2 is fairly balanced (2 for each Grand Alliance), and be GW's way to push in another posterboy faction (and double points if they actually do end up being Death Stormcast as they manage to squeeze in another Stormcast warband). That being said, I think Deathcast/Stormcast and Daughters of Khaine are probably more likely than the Deepkin and Freeguild (Certainly more than Freeguild). Would love to see Humans though, whatever form they take. The Witch Hunter warband is another personal favourite of mine that I would love to see.

Mikeymajq Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 We're probably gonna see another stormcast, and a nighthaunt warband judging by the new cards. So counting out those two: 1. Moonclan grots. With madcap mushrooms and maybe a Fanatic. 2. Flesh eater courts. A bunch of Ghouls. Maybe some regen ability 3. Bonesplitterz. Just cuz they're fun. 4. Tzeentch Arcanites. Maybe a sorcerous leader? Would be cool to see how magic would work in Shadespire. 5. Slaves to Darkness. A few Darkoath looking dudes lead by a revamped Chaos Warrior could be really cool. 6. Brayherds. Gors ans Ungors with a focus on defilement of Shadespire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReynakZhen Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 For the goblin warband, They could do something like the following: leader - grot shaman, main beat stick - fanatic, secondary beat stick - cave squig, then 3-4 chump grots that are similiar to the chump skaven, in that they can be "brought back" to simulate a horde.

Who knows, but really, they have to work with what they have now. The game started as a line of ETB kits to get people started on the building aspect so it's obvious that stormcasts and khorne would be featuring predominantly this early. Once they start producing with the game actually in mind I guess that they will be more diverse. In the meantime one of my desired choices, nighthaunt, will be a thing. Now let's just hope there's a moonclan, kharadron, and tzeentch warbands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeratul Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I just hope they realize we don´t need more Stormcast / Khorne. The more diversity it has the better. Lizardmen with skinks would be nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amenhotep Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Seraphon would be an interesting addition, i'd quite like beastmen as well - they suit the whole raiding warbands theme afterall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obaobaboss Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 After two Aelven-releases I think it is time for some Aelves in Shadespire. I personaly would like to see a second destruction-warband. If I had to choose I would go for a mixed orruks-grots warband, raider-style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chikout Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 The two stormcast and Khorne warbands were a result of the minis all being sculpted before they made a game. That is also why they all have different bases. Next time along side the stormcast and nighthaunt I would like to see Seraphon with a kroxigor and some skinks. Vampires. Moonclan with a pet squig. Tzeentch with 2 cultists and/or 4 Tzaangors so I can make my silver tower stuff into legal units. A couple of troggoths. Slaanesh. That would give 2 of each alliance.

Wraith01 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 I want Daemons! All new sculpts in dynamic poses!!! Specifically a set of Bloodletters! and another set of Pink Horrors! We need a Darkoath Warband!!! (They should make a whole Darkoath themed army...!) A set of Grots would be cool too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimarous Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Known: At least one more Stormcast Eternals group (at least it looks like a new Chamber type) Nighthaunt (always been a sucker for "Nazgul" types - definitely looking forward to these guys) Predictions / "Team Extensions": Moonclan Grots (another for "Team Destruction" / green models - need squig plz) Kharadron Overlords (another"Team Duardin" type, plus been rumoured for a long time) Clan Pestilens (couldn't think of what else to add as a "Team Skaven" secondary team) Personal Wishlist: Tzeentch Arcanites (3:2 ratio of cultists and Tzaangors?) Seraphon (dunno how they'd get stuck in Shadespire, but I want lizardmen dangit!) Daughters of Khaine (general lack of aelvan and female presence thus far) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
