Aelfric Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Also, they have said that they would let us know which units were going away nearer the time. So, when we get that article, that will be the indicator that the Tome is coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its fair theyre basically the last faction to get updated as to be fair theyve had new rules x3 for khorne, +1 for nurgle tzeentch and slaanesh AND had allegiance abilities in the GHB for 3 years. Ive enjoyed playing mine using these various rule sets and im not really fussed about having to wait a bit longer, i have plenty of stuff to paint and play in the meantime! And don’t forget they can mix them with Beasts of Chaos as well if you want a more wild army! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That normally would be meaningless, but given all these Beastgrave/Ghur teasers and rumours... Yeah, that always struck me as curious, even before Beastgrave was announced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackStreicher Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 (edited) Looks surprisingly different to the actual Orion (old model and Total War Incarceration). he looks more feral and tribal. Maybe the new Wanderers will all be Satyr, Centaur-like ^^ Edited July 27, 2019 by JackStreicher 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickie De Viking Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 I so hope that Orion will get a new mini! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackStreicher Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 (edited) About all being Satyrs and all: look at his feet, at least to me those could easily be hooves, looks even likely. I am rather sure those are hooves, it‘s the whole leg positioning, length etc. Edited July 27, 2019 by JackStreicher 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I specifically am hoping today When a battletome was anounced on a convention it was most likely 4-6 weeks until release. So I think it will be end of august until release (except for Sylvaneth this was be the case for most other battletomes, Blades of Khorne, Fyreslayers etc.).

It's possible that these were due for release earlier but were held up by the Sylvaneth tome delay. In which case, they probably need to get back to their original schedule before Christmas comes around. Especially considering possible Ogors and StD releases as well.

On YouTube 2+ tough did an story review and some of the podcasts did as well. I always really like The Mortal Realms especially about lore subjects: https://podcasts.apple.com/nl/podcast/the-mortal-realms-a-warhammer-age-of-sigmar-podcast/id1034491598?i=1000443976990 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Someone2 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Think they will release Orruk Battleclans in October as per Orctober rules. The other BT might be first. My guess on GW history; -July Warcry (happened) -August Free Cities -September Bones boxset -October Orruk Battleclans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alghero81 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 I don’t think it will be that delayed the Orc tome and also, according to the rumours, October is the month of the new army. September will be Warhammer Underworld in line with previous years right? So the new battletomes should be sometime in August most likely end of August, with Beastgrave and the new box set coming next That brings us in October with the new army and we can only hope November brings us the last Chaos battletome before the Christmas holidays.

zilberfrid Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Would the last Chaos tome be Tzeench or Slaves to Darkness? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralZero Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Cities of Sigmar and Orruck will be released simultaneously. Pretty sure of that. Like they did for FEC/SKAVEN which where reveled the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The World Tree Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 I suspect CoS and Orruks weren't originally going to be a double week, but the Sylvaneth delay probably lead to this. We likely would already have at least one already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Not sure about a double release if you consider that neither one ties to the new army box (which has Ogors and something else in it). Double week release would be fantastic and GW has, as noted, done it before; but its rare to see them doing it. I wouldn't pin my hopes on it, but if we get it then all the better - faster delivery and more room for more Tomes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skaven and FEC came together because they were both in a Battle box. There's no indication of a Battle box with Cities/Orruks. If anything GW has been hunting of a Ogor/Death Battle box sometime in the future. Anyhow, point being, this feels like a different situation than Skaven and FEC. I think we should expect consecutive releases, rather than simultaneous ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiagoma Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 What do you guys think about terrain and endless spells for the 2 new books? It would be weired without then but for such a huge soup of factions will be a complex task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orruk magic and iconography is constant between both Ironjawz and Bonesplittas. You'd just need a big Girl/Mork idol (or whatever), and some suitably Orruky looking endless spells and you're in business. Admittedly, Cities stuff would be a but harder to work out, but hardly impossible. Some sort of military structure for the terrain (watchtower, bunker, supply wagon, etc). The spells could be done in a mix of generic magical effects, with some summoned Griffon or Eagle effects thrown in for flavor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, maybe we will get one for each race, with the Duardin having a priest-based one and humans and Aelves magic-based ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, there is pretty much zero chance of that. The terrain and endless spells are cheap little projects for their Chinese manufacturing arm. No way are they going to spend that much time and energy making all those variants for one single army like Cities. They will just come up with one single model/concept that matches best with the most amount of Free Cities aesthetic, and call it a day.

AthlorianStoners Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 I’d imagine Azyrite iconography would work as they’re all part of that collective. A twin tailed comet, eagle heads and lightning stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A watchtower with the choice of a human, duardin, or aelven (or more faction specific) beacon on top, each with different gameplay effects/unit buffs would be neat. Heck, I'd be happy with them just rereleasing Deathknell Watch. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommodoreCass Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I read that they announced one more Chaos Battletome in 2019 after the Skaven one. Isn't it supposed to be the Hedonites and leaving us with no more Chaos release this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
