The Rumour Thread

[Gecktron]

Looks like a King and two Ghouls. WU aside, this is great for FEC players. A different sculpt for a King on foot (be honest, the King from Terrorgheist looks awkward without his stead) and Ghouls to fill some courtier shaped holes are great news!

[Adamcbutton]

These covers don’t always show all the fighters in a warband (see Zarbag’s Gitz), so I’m hoping there’s a few more than three. It looks like there’s another three ghouls shown at the bottom so maybe six/seven fighters to put them closer to the other Death warbands.

[Whitefang]

Nah I don’t think that would be a king, too much for skirmish, maybe a ghoul general or some noble alike

A king would be a Vampire which this one is not (they don‘t have facial hair and look more beast-like). (Unless they changed that)

I guess some kind of Sergeant? Or a Crypt Ghoul Courtier? Perhaps you are right and it is a non-vamp King =}

I think you might be on the money here - a Crypt Ghoul Courtier model. Or a brand new hero type.

Flesh Eaters Courts Beastgrave warband with a female ghoul! 

Ghoul? All I see are noble knights ready to defend the realm from the vile taint of Shadespire. Truly this is a warband the likes of which we have never seen.

For real though I'm going to be really disappointed if they don't play into the delusions when it comes to the characters and faction specific card names. I wonder if they'll have a wizard, the bearded one which I'm assuming is the leader looks like it could be using a staff so maybe? Doesn't look like a vampire though so maybe it's a new unit similar to the wizard in the Sylvaneth warband if it is actually a wizard.

Well, a good court always needs a chamberlain.

[AlmGandix3]

They mentioned that the new chapter supplements will be discussed next month so there will probably not longer be alternating releases. 

Hopefully CoS and Orruk Warclans will be on pre order next week.

[Sadysaneto]

There are 2 or 3 ghouls on the background. So its 5-6 noble knights on a quest to recover the grail.

[GeneralZero]

If there are new FEC minis, it is super good news as the FEC have a really poor range of minis. Instabuy for me (if the price is ok and there is not a big pack of junk papers/cardboards with it)

[Vasshpit]

Ghoul ******!!! 👍

Thus far the warbands have been sold in two formats - one with cards and one with just the models (at a slightly cheaper price). FEC are also small enough that the warbands might actually see pretty neat use in their army. Most of the Underworlds warbands feel a bit "off" in AoS because you've got a handful of models all acting in a unit, but all with stats and weapon variations like characters. So they are more fiddly to work.

@GeneralZero Price will be the same as other warbands and there will be two options: without cards and with them

EDIT: Ninja'd.

That feels more appropriate, an FEC warband that's outnumbered by Blood Warriors or Ironjawz would be weird. Interesting designs though! Good to see considering how same-y and homogenous the main  FEC range is. We're probably looking at 2-3 weak ghouls, a stronger fighter with a two-handed bone, the prominent lady-ghoul, and the beardy champion.

If he's some sort of ghoul chamberlain-wizard, cool. Otherwise this is definitely an opportunity for AoS players to pick up courtiers without having to split off model from the main crypt ghouls box.

Also this is what, the fourth leak/leak-adjacent thing GW has had this week? Accidentally putting up all the cards pre-Breastgrave release, accidentally putting up the Eldar banshees vs incubi box cover on their print website early, the space marine expansion supplier/distributor leaks, and now this. I have no doubt that GW does seed this sort of thing sometimes but some of these really do seem to steal current releases' thunder and go against what they want to do. This one, for example, looks very similar to the Zarbag's Gits/Eyes of the Nine leak last year.

[EccentricCircle]

What if there are only three of them, but when they get inspired they turn into far more powerful Brettonian style knights? That would be a warband the likes of which we've never seen before...

 

(Note: I don't actually think they'd do that, but its cool to dream...)

[AthlorianStoners]

This and the Ogurs will be instant buy for me. Cannot wait!!! 

[PJetski]

I hope it is just a big swarm of 6 ghouls and a courtier.

[Vasshpit]

Im hoping for at least one new ghoul, 1 new horror, and 1 new flayer so that FEC players can get all 3 heros  that don't really have stand alone sculpts of their own in a one box purchase.

Well that seems far too logical.

And that's exactly why GW won't do it :^)

[Vasshpit]

Im thinking the one holding the giant club may be a horror and in the bottom right background there's one that may have wings... 🤔

We'll see.

A lot more characterful than what we've got so far but imo there's still lots of room to improve. The fact that they think they are nobles and such still doesn't come quite through just yet unfortunately.

[Souleater]

It's the classic mmorpg trinity: DPS, Tank and Healer!

I dont think this is likely for a £17.50 box, nice as it would be.

I'ma gonna modify mine heavily, with tattered robes, broken crowns and such. I'll have a theater group of ghouls who do a play of the great king defeating death; and cooks with broken knives; and them all at a harvest fair. These are gonna be made from the Zombie- and the Ghoul-kit, with a tad of old Empire thrown in. The new female helps me a great deal, else, I'd have to resort to Witch Aelves and old Mordheim models (which I'll probably still kitbash in, but to a lesser extent).
