Ogregut Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 They aren't going to say FAQs are dropping tomorrow or whenever in case something happens and it can't be posted. As they haven't said its not coming, we have no reason to believe it won't drop soon. The fact that it hasn't dropped on the same date as previous years means nothing. And I have to say their communication is so much better. They have been up front when products have been delayed (Sylvaneth, sons, death guard). If the pandemic had happened back when GW ignored the Internet, it would have been a shambles. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New LoN/CoS models just for you!" would both surprise and please me greatly. 3.0 Box Set - Broke - Stormcast vs Ironjawz Woke - Cities of Sigmar vs Legions of Nagash 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incineroar87 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Whether we get a rehash of Legions Of Nagash or a re-imagined Vampire army. I just want my plastic Vampire Lords, Blood Knights, Bat Swarms and Fell Bats haha 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need more baroque armor in the game and they'd be excellent. Also possibly great conversion pieces for Slaanesh. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogregut Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 If I were writing a Vampire battletome I would put a City of Sigmar in as one of the sub factions, allowing 1 in 4 units to come from Cites of Sigmar as a throwback to the Storm of Chaos Slyvanian levy army. I've still got some zombie crossbow men I converted for the army somewhere. 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've still got some zombie crossbow men I converted for the army somewhere. Cool idea. Having at least a handful of cowed, anaemic mortal followers has always been a cool angle to warhammer vampires in the background, though seldom represented on the tabletop. It wouldn't fit with Nighthaunt, FEC or Ossiarchs (or Chaos or Destruction really) but with a vampire-centric faction there's more room as they both offer a little potential for deviation from Nagash's grand plan and because they're intimately connected to a living underclass in a way that the others are not. Freeguild rules would certainly work well to represent some beaten-down Shyshian serfs roped into battle by their soulblight masters 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Celefaze has said we really need some baroque armour again, and gothic deathly baroque armour at that! Trying to use SC and Chaos bois as conversions for Vampires just doesn't cut it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Under the Mountain Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Wondering when they will announce the next Broken Realms. I know Psychic Awakening was almost a monthly release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MitGas Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 (edited) New engine... this could be either for 40k or AoS. The handle is a bit techy tho. The mace looks definitely new but I guess it's imperial in nature. Edited December 18, 2020 by MitGas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scurvydog Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 That is absolutely 40k, most likely Necromunda. The hammer before looks to be the same type of gloved hand, so most likely something for yet another warband/house for Necromunda. The powerpack on the handle is present on 40k power or tesla wepons of the more crude imperial kind. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Templar_Lad Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Going with the Ministorum rumour engines, maybe we're gonna get a proper Witch/Demon Hunter gang or squad.

If I'm not wrong, The Old World could explain the story around the war of the four three emperors!! So I would assume that we are going to see Vlad, Konrad and Manfred doing what vamps do: Rise zombies, and be killed outside of Altdorf!!!

EMMachine Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 In case of the Banner I would guess, if it is death, that it is something reanimated. I don't think that Blood Knights would have such a ripped banner (after the finecast unit has not a single hole in the banner). Todays picture could be some sort of Mace for Adeptus Mechanicus.

I know Psychic Awakening was almost a monthly release. They usually do an Open Day on New Years Day, so that's presumably when their next online Preview will be. Since there's only half a year to 3.0 (probably) I imagine they'll at least give us the titles of the next few books like they did PA - we knew Morathi was coming before we knew anything about it, so presumably they're not shy on that front. Typically a big release is shown off on Christmas Day, but that's usually a single big reveal without specific details, which doesn't seem to fit Broken Realms - especially when we've seen a lot of the Slaanesh stuff. My guess is they'll reveal what the Not-Zombie thing/all these (probably) Death-related Rumour Engines are and the Ecclesiarchy/Inquisition stuff for 40k.

I would be over da bad moon to finally see all this Death revealed!! And having an online Preview at New Years as well to kick off 2021 would be a great start. Having all the named books would also keep hype levels high, I doubt we will have as many as PA and if they try to retain a June/July release date they may end up coming out bi monthly.

Souleater Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I would love a Vamps vs Orruk Warclans box for AoS 3.0, but that's high-level wishlisting on my part. I don't feel that my beloved SCE need anymore models at this point. We have a huge, modern range. Better to spend the love and productivity on other armies. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that is how we as a community will hopefully avoid Space Marine bloat. Although, I personally suspect at least one more SCE box just to round out the starter sets with SCE vs each grand alliance. Yet I am personally hoping that they do something SCE adjacent like Cities or a Devoted of Sigmar army! That way they can still toss in a unit of Golden boys and also avoid over stuffing our little fantasy world with angelic Paladins ! Although based on recent releases I expect to see Stormcast Aelves vs Slaaneshi Ironjawz! Edited December 18, 2020 by Neverchosen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotAWzrd Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I’m hoping that all this inquisitorial stuff is actually related to both 40k and AoS. There are still a few unsolved Stormcast rumour engines from a while back (the staff and the arrows), plus with all the witch hunter looking weapons we have been seeing, perhaps they are getting ready to introduce us to the Order of Azyr. After Space Marines, the Inquisition is arguably the most iconic aspect of the 40k universe, and it makes sense for them to translate that to AoS. Chaos exists in both universes, Stormcast are essentially fantasy Space Marines, and so mirroring the Imperium even more would allow them to really put their trademark on both games, miniature and lorewise. Heck it might even be the catalyst that leads to Cities being revamped into something akin to the AoS version of the Imperial Guard. This was mentioned the other day, but I agree that it could be the next Warhammer Quest, featuring the Order of Azyr as a party of Witch Hunters sent out to investigate a Vampiric Castle of some kind. That then leads to the Soulblight battletome similarly to how Silver Tower preceded Disciples of Tzeentch and Blackstone Fortress preceded the Chaos Space Marine codex. Just a thought 🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
