Gecktron Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Now, the question remains, are they going to be Destruction? Destruction deserves a new faction. But if GW wants to replicate the Knights success they have to aim for the biggest audiance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the rumor mill picks I think are giants wind up being that then I think they are pretty much destruction through and through. That said, they could be the first "Gold" faction and be both Destruction and Chaos (going off of WFB having giants and chaos giants). I'd say most likely just destruction followed by destruction and Chaos followed by just Chaos in terms of likelihood. Pretty much 0% chance of order or death unless I'm seriously off about rumor engine pics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if GW wants to replicate the Knights success they have to aim for the biggest audiance. When the current Giant kit first came out it was sold on having four variants for the different armies that used them - Ogre Kingdoms, Orcs & Goblins, Beasts of Chaos and Dogs of War. It could be they try and push it as a centre piece model for 'every' army with different variants. That seems unlikely however, as I don't recall a time when GW has ever released a 'neutral' army book aside from Dogs of War. More likely it seems to be a Destruction release, if only because of the giant shield Rumour Engine we had a few days back with the proportionally tiny Ironbreaker shield attached to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amysrevenge Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I suppose they could hard-code several possible builds of the kit each as a different unit. Make four or five warscrolls out of the one kit. Like, the guy with the big stick is one unit, and a guy with an empty hand is another, and the gut plate guy, and others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmac Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, Forrix said: If that is true then the Gargant faction might be coming way sooner than expected. I didn't think we'd see it before Pointy Elves as it would also be a major release even if they keep the old giant kit. The shipping leaks we've gotten in the past have all been accurate, but usually around 2 months in advance, or more. Still, it's good confirmation that something is probably coming in the next 1-4 months at the very latest. Note we don't have a leak for pointy aelf warscroll cards, but we also don't know the faction name yet, so hard to search for. Also, just based on these leaks and that way that Hysh Hysh hint was structured, I'm betting on a Pointy Aelves vs Giant Faction battlebox.

My biggest recent disappointment was that: - there was NO gargant (and synergies) in the new Ogor battletome - there was NO (chaos) gargant (and synergies) in the new StD battletome. This is a double missed opportunity by GW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't really fit in any, but they had to put them in ONE, because they were cleaning up their range (all models in a modern 2.0 battletome, or scraped). I think they will only put a unit in multiple battletomes when it makes sense thematically (nagash in nighthaunt and bonereapers, because he's the big boss..... tzaangors in BoC and Tzeench, because they are tzeentchy beastmen) Now that they are getting their own army, you'll find that they will likely be removed from the next GSG battletome. I don't know the fate of the chaos gargant, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A different kit or two for each alliance can build out each alliances unit types with differing ally rules for each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, at this point I don't care whether they are ancient Greece inspired sky-titans, a rag-tag force of drunkard Aleguzzlers or Games Workshop being very late in trying to cash in on a 7-year old animated tv-show...I want them, and I want to paint them, I want to be them and krump both puny human goldmen and the chaotic spiky bois. And not to be called non-egalitarian, I am ready to krump flamyhair and flyballoon halfmen, skeleton lads and lasses, pointy ears of all kinds, green boyz big and small and the almost-worthy-of-being-unkrumped hungry lads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
