amysrevenge Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Does anyone know if there are/were (did I miss it?) plans to separate out the starter box for Beastgrave into individual kits? I'd really like the Beastmen warband. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingBrodd Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Christmas reveal of Soulblight? Or are they going to go the way of Kurnothi and be a Warband for now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far I think they've always released separate warbands around the time the starter for the next season is released, so I'd expect to see the same for Beastgrave. I don't think we've heard anything specific about it though. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just don't get off at bodily pursuits anymore, they're more obsessed with killing people in awesome and pretty ways. Fair enough, I was definitely applying the term loosely especially considering their ornate and awesome fashion. However, I still think excessive discipline is something that is really fascinating and oddly fitting for Slaanesh's disciples. But, I still like that they showcase a different form of Slaanesh worship than what is often attributed to those that follow the Lord of Excess.

I'd really like the Beastmen warband. Most likely, you can buy all the other warbands on their respective faction pages. Though they don't come with the cards for them (and are in grey plastic).

Pretty much, there does exist undead pirates in the form of The Wraith Fleet from Fire Storm, but that was a mixed undead force not just vampires. It's a cool idea and part of the lore, but I don't think the initial soulblight will be pirates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 8 Lamentations, some of them were trained by a vampire who might be Abhorash (armor, dragon, sit at the top of a mountain, and the best at combat by vampire standard). So...maybe Aleya ?

Total War? that's fantasy battle and has nothing do with AOS... Yes, there's never actually been hints or rumors from any legitimate sources that the vampires would be pirates. Certainly, vampire hints, but not pirate vampires. At around the same time the Soulblight looking rumor engine pics came out, there was also some nautical looking pics and crab-claw looking pics, which together people took as being a hint towards vampire pirates. The former turned out to be from the Kraken-eater gargant and the latter looks like its going to be Slaangors. However, somehow its taken on a life of its own, probably just from the popularity of the vampire coast when they ended up in Total War. They were an actual army in fantasy having rules in a White Dwarf (which I still have), but not AoS you are correct. At least, not those pirates specifically. There are vampire pirates in AoS, and they had rules before. The Wraith Fleet are undead led by a vampire pirate that came out during the Firestorm campaign with their own allegiance, in fact, here's the article that covered them: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/09/21/the-armies-of-firestorm-the-wraith-fleet-sep21gw-homepage-post-4/ I think they've still been mentioned in the lore here and there too. So, they do already exist, just with no current rules or models as Firestorm was during first edition I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say it's more of a meme than something with any substance, sort of like how people read one line about Grot-Pirates in the first Kharadron book and took it as gospel they'll be landing. Part of it's genuine wishlisting (as above there's a mention or two of a Vampirate fleet), a lot of it's meme'ing, I think a lot of it stems from 'Vampire Pirates' being one of those more whacky, out-there concepts that people feel would fit AoS - Elves... but Aquaman! Slayers... but on fire! Space Marines... on the ground! Keeping in mind that the Vampire Coast was largely a creation of CA absolutely stretching the most threadbare bits of scattered lore lines/a one-shot White Dwarf article to piece it together. 3 hours ago, amysrevenge said: Does anyone know if there are/were (did I miss it?) plans to separate out the starter box for Beastgrave into individual kits? I'd really like the Beastmen warband. Probably not until Season 5. Beastgrave's cards are still legal, so presumably we'll see a separate, individual release for the Cursebreakers and Thorns very soon and the Wild Hunt/Despoilers next year.

I dont think Vampirates are actually happening, but if GW wanted them, they already exist in the lore, and "Vampires, but pirates!" is exactly the kind of twist to a traditional idea that AoS would use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I definitely agree, I think it would be fun to see them in stories as they call others of their kind barbarians for getting off on far more crude and simpler pleasures. But it's interesting to see that they can also slip and turn into twin-souls. Edited November 27, 2020 by shinros 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novakai Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 hmm most people say that the April Warband symbol belong to bonesplitterz, but looking at the symbol again i can see it being Spiderfang too since it look more fang-like then beast boned oriented 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothmaug Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I also wonder if the “werewolf” like leg perched on the ruins might be one of the new forge world gundabad fellbats. They certainly have a canine appearance, and I can’t see the legs on one of the models. Guess we could compare the ruins. im probably wrong though, at least I hope so.
