NOPE JUST MOAR 40K AND WARCRY BOIS TBF this time around it a specific AoS weekender event instead of a general Warhammer event so it shouldn't have any 40K reveals and be more focus on Sigmar releases. and they did say that at least 4 more battletomes where going to be releases for the year so they should probably start revealing them now if anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Honestly I think AoS just had a double hit of not just Sylvanath being delayed, but also 40K getting some big releases for Chaos and Apoc nestled up together so it felt more 40K heavy. I figure at this new event we should see: 1) Full reveal of Warcry and possibly some hints for the future. 2) Reveal of the Shadspire 3rd round warbands (GW already confirmed this) 3) Likely, but no guarantee, to see at least one or more new battletomes. 4) Possibly another duel box set. This might well be linked to point 3 and if we get a box with armies which dn't have a battletome we can assume a battletome for them coming "soon" near the duel box.

Barbossal Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Any predictions for upcoming releases in Shadespire? Usually these are chosen in relation to upcoming factions or relevant and popular ones that are not yet covered. My thoughts would be: - Sacrosanct Stormcast - Nurgle (One chaos god per round so far) - New Aelfs (as per the teased lion) - Seraphon (as they are probably coming early 2020) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for chaos gods Slanesh is more fitting to Shadespire setting. Previously, we had one Chaos god each time, however, there were two Chaos warbands released each season, so maybe we will get both? My bet on the starter set is new death (Katophranes) vs beasty elves. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would pretty much make all of the stormcast bases covered other than the Paladin units. Chaos I will lean more toward Slaanesh, but really I feel it could go either way I'm predicting the New Aelfs are going to lean into the wanderers I predict that whatever the new death faction is will get a warband. Also expect FEC to get one Ogors will get a warband. A Chaos Warriors/Armored Chaos mortals warband. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmac Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 In no particular order, my guesses for likely new warbands: Chaos: Slaanesh and/or Nurgle Destruction: Ogors and/or Bonesplittas Death: Unless something tied to the new army, probably FEC Order: Wanderers, Seraphon, and one of either DoK or Deepkin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towercap Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I'd love to see an FEC warband lead by a varghulf courtier. Varghulf needs a new sculpt badly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charleston Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Shadespire did not get any Chaos Daemon Warbands yet. Also, a lot of thoose warbands were acomanied by a new tome also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AthlorianStoners Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) A soulblight faction would be awesome, maybe have a combination of plastic Vampire Lord and either Bat Swarms/Fell Bats BCR with a Plastic Icebrow Hunter and 2 Frost Sabers would be a must have Edited July 12, 2019 by AthlorianStoners 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Explorator Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 I think Nurgle is by far the most likely warband to come out (to go with one god per season in the order of army release) and, looking at the lion, I think we can already say at least one aelven warband is coming. I also can't see them skipping Stormcast entirely. Apart from those three its all a wash. Idoneth, DoK, Ogors, Bonesplitterz, Seraphon, Soulblight, FEC, Free Peoples, Slaanesh and Beasts of Chaos are all factions I'd expect to stick around that have yet to get a warband. There is also a distinct possibility of a yet unrevealed Death faction, which if real might mean it also gets a warband. So there's a lot of choice but few clear indicators. Personally I have my fingers crossed for Beasts of Chaos or some proper undivided Chaos Warriors the most. I'd like to see Seraphon, FEC, DoK and Free Peoples as well, if only for conversion potential and hints where GW will take most of these factions.

novakai Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 I wonder if there a chance that the starter set will be Order vs Destruction since it was Chaos with Shadespire and Death with Nightvault. they could even mixed it up even more with the GA pairing but I feel like they will stick to always having an Order (or just Stormcast) faction for the starter set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutton Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 A Beasts of Chaos warband would be cool. Have 3-4 Gor models with a champion joined by a special Spawn of Chaos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been a rumor long ago about a box Wanderers X Ogors. Given all the rumor engines, maybe it will be the new Starter.

Matt Ceney-Pratt Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 My view we are likely to see the following: 2 warbands out of Dreadfane Blightking warband (Nurgle) Aelve faction (Tyrions) An Orgre warband of some description Beast of Chaos Dispossessed warband Bonesplitters maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bet on the starter set is new death (Katophranes) vs beasty elves. I hope you are right, no Stormcast in the new base set would be so much better than yet another Sigmarine set I can't avoid. But almost every set so far has had those things in it if it was more than one faction, so I don't think so.

I understand why people use it but come on they aren't that similar, although I will admit there is a little bit of a similarity there but I think they've evolved past that by this point. I mean ever since the release of the vanguard chamber they've been moving away from their initial look by giving them a lot more personality model wise and lore wise too actually. Anyway, I'm really excited about the final warband reveal for Warcry tonight/tomorrow morning (Australia time that is). We should start seeing some actual rules start coming out once everything is revealed building up to the release (finally!) I reckon. Hell even if the game doesn't sound like something I'd be interested in, I'd get some of those models just to paint (and use in AoS). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still-young Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Hastings said this on the War of Sigmar blog apparently: Quote I did hear some time back there were maybe 10 warbands this season (although I think 2 are from dreadfane as they were SE & NH), the others were (IIRC) DoK, Ogrurrrs (specifically 1 hunter and 1 or 2 animals), Wanderers, FeC (or might have been free peoples I can't remember), Seraphon, Slaanesh, Nurgle and another skaven. I myself would have liked Idoneth but this is a pretty nice mix of stuff, and at least no more Khorne or excessive SE. I’m not sure how reliable Hastings is these days, but i’d be pretty happy with that list. I could see the lion thing we saw being Wanderers, the pattern on the shoulder pad is present on some of the existing Wanderers models. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
