JPjr Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 18 minutes ago, KingBrodd said: Newest Rumour Engine. It looks a lot like a Middle Ages European bear/boar spear. Something designed for hunting animals with a cross guard behind the blade to stop the animal pushing up through the blade and ****** you up in its death throws, whilst the serrated blade definitely gives it a 'cruel' vibe. The only extant Order armies that would work would be the more morally ambiguous ones (well more straight up dubious than ambiguous but you know what I mean) like DoK or Idoneth, but it's certainly not an Aelven weapon or at a push CoS and well that would be a turn up. Almost definitely not anything Destruction related, so you can rule them all out. With Chaos, it almost certainly isn't Beasts, Skaven, or any of the Gods' own armies. Slaves to Darkness possibly but I couldn't imagine what, Darkoath would make sense in terms of a monster killing weapon but doesn't match the style. So boringly predictable because it just joins the long line of others we suspect are the same but you have to think it's something along Soulblight/Deathrattle lines. The only other possibility in my head would be a FEC character like Duke Crackmarrow but unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verminlord Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 My first thought was the frostlord spear as well. The base of the blade does appear to have a blood drop shape, so I'm thinking vampire gouging weapon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is interesting as we previously got a rumor engine for a vulture that looks just like the one on the Huskard kit. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandlemad Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 (edited) I don't think it's impossible that we'll see a new plastic hunter. Yes, Hrothgorn fills that space. Yes, it would make more sense to repackage him as a new hunter box. Yes, it would be much easier to just change the warscroll so the hunter can be accompanied by gnoblar attendants as tokens or something, but GW makes weird decisions when it comes to individual SKUs and the like. I'd prefer something new and honestly Mawtribes needs new yhetees/butcher/gorgers far, far more than a second plastic hunter model but that's how it is sometimes. The hypothetical frost king folks were talking about would be interesting, though now we know one of the WHC rumour engines discussed (the gutplate thing) is actually from the mega-gargant kit.

sandlemad Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 A bit less so with the Hrothgorn kit, shown here: https://www.wellofpower.com/post/product-review-hrothgorn-s-mantrappers While GW seem to be happy enough adding instructions like that for legacy WHFB models, I'd suspect they're more reluctant to do so for models released in February 2020. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogregut Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 (edited) I see a lot of people saying X is not beginner friendly or not suited for beginners. I have to disagree. Today there is the Internet and YouTube with a huge wealth of information. When I was starting, I had white dwarf, store staff members and muddling through myself. I believe new hobbiests have it better than ever and anything they aren't sure of is a google search away. *Please note, not directed at anyone, just my opinion.

novakai Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 (edited) i think the argument is that Hrothgorn is not meant to be the full replacement for the Icebrow hunter because he primary design for another game system and it is not about the difficulty to proxy him as one. having Hrothgorn existing does not take the chance away from having an actual plastic version of the Icebrow hunter simply you could just tape his base on top of the correct base size and call it a day.

MarkK Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Would it not be more likely that they would remove the resin hunter from the store and just update the Base Size document to match the new plastic one? Agree with the above, similar to Mollog and a regular dankhold troggoth, we'll probably see both in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EccentricCircle Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 So long as you are going from a smaller base to the larger one I find it works well enough. I glue the small base on top of the large one, roll out a snake of greenstuff and put that around the upper base to smooth out the transition. Cover that with sand or texture paint and you're good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
