Squigs, troggoths, arachnaroks(if spiderfang rolled in). Squigs particularly we know they are branching out. Stalagmite squigs?? Literally Anything can be a squig. You don't think gw wants to tell you 2 large sprues for $130? Colossal squig is fw, mangler is resin and "no longer available". Neither can be at brick and mortar stores. GW is predictable. There are patterns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yes, definitely expect one for moonclan the Magmadroth is smaller and cheaper then the usual $110 to $140 centerpiece models but yeah I guess they do count. if we judge by what they did with Maggotkin of Nurgle last year, we may possibly get a trailer on Christmas day so we probably find out soon about what in the release.

This is my hope. There's definitely something at the end of this advent event. Perhaps we get the trailer on christmas like Nurgle, then they have brass tacs on their January 5th event to explain everything. Give a first good explanation of the trailer and what to expect, having given us a few days to gush and hype ourselves up with the trailer.

Thomas Lyons Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 On 12/20/2018 at 12:14 PM, pseudonyme said: /summon @Thomas Lyons I did no quite get what you were saying on the last warhammer weekly: did you say that Moonclan might be a small release ? Indeed, current rumors are pointing towards a limited release. Think something like 2-3 kits and maybe a couple characters, with some of the base kits preserved (like the current Grots). I would expect those couple kits to be dual kits (like squigs & herders and squig riders being a dual kit) but don't expect 5+ full kits. Release (or preorder) should be Jan 5th. Edit: To be clear, my predictions would be something like this (full conjecture here, no evidence): Squig dual kit - Squigs with herders // Squig Riders Large Squig kit - probably a monster with maybe a rider/handler, probably a named character Grot Scuttlings kit - to bridge Moonclan with Spiderfang (if they get rolled in together). Alternatively, this could be trolls or a creatures of the caves type of kit with alternate squigs, etc. Moonclan Spells which would certainly include a Badmoon model. 2-3 Character packs, maybe a squig mounted hero.

(Day 7 of image, lines up with Xmas, matches last year, etc). How long could they go between reveal and release? 2-3 weeks top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long could they go between reveal and release? 2-3 weeks top. Going by previous releases trends, the initial DoK trailer was release on jan 25 but the preorder was around Febuary 24th (DoK had a headliner on the White dwarf in March), Deepkin was also about a month between trailer and preorders, and Nighthaunt and SC where about two months mainly because it was AoS 2.0. Nurgle was kind of an outlier because the preorder happen around 2 weeks after the Christmas trailer but they also got a headliner on the January White dwarf tome so. So it is possible that Moonclan is a late January release of course I am only assuming base on how White Dwarf tends to cover GW releases usually.

sorokyl Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 They cover them if they have been revealed before the issue comes out. Pictures of the contents are already on the web so the timing was not right for moonclan. I doubt they delay a model release for the sake of the magazine.

mcbrain Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I’d almost bet the mortgage on the following: FIVE kits. New fanatics New plastic squig/hopper multikit A Fungoid shrine a new plastic mangler/named character (center piece) And new sourbreath troggoths The book will encompass moonclan, troggoths, and spiderfang. My guess is we’ll know if any/all of this is true within a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not delay, more like it was always schedule that way. Usual model release are about a month after the trailer anyway. Only Nurgle was an outlier Edit; if the preorder was on the fifth, they could have delayed the white dwarf reveal until after the teaser which would have made more sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is we’ll know if any/all of this is true within a week. I can't imagine there will be new fanatics. Sure the warband one is a pretty big departure from the curret skew, but the fanatics are plastic and fit the theme to a good degree. Though a Centre piece (hoping some kinda insect/ millipede if they are bringing in spiderfang), squig/hopper multikit and troggoths to replace the Rockgut, if not the sourbreath, are solid speculation. Add on a box of endless spells and I think that's my guess. Not a huge fan of the spiderriders model wise, but the arachnarok is a gorgeous model. Wouldn't be at all displeased if they merged it in! Will just need to model hoods on the scuttlings xD. Doubtful for the rest though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodapollo4 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 If I can get a big ass squig with a warboss on top, I will be soooo happy. Honestly, whatever they drop is going to be exciting.
