I was totally gutted by that - was hoping for BR: Alarielle - this guy could be a new destruction faction, plus his shield has the recent rumour engine which I was thought was dwarf .. Hoping, hoping he is something to do with Kurnoth [either a similar character or merely a different name for him]. Definetly beast themed, but chaos/order/destruction remains to be seen.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charleston Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 (edited) Artwortk looks quite Ghur-ish from the colors and the theme. Also the tribesman-look without the scent of chaos looks like GA:Destruction. The recent squat of Chaos Dwarfs released the design-space of centaurs for AoS again (GW typically does anything possible to keep factions quite distinct). This could be the first non-whfb-Carryover-themed Destuction Alligience. As for Soulblight: It looks like a simple rebranding and cleanup of Legions of Nagash with some model updates. They don´t reinvent the wheel but instead clean up the Legions as the release of other Death Factions made them quite obsolete. I like what they are doing. Btw, the Direwolf on the book cover may be a hint for more models incoming Edit: Btw, last time I´ve heard Kurnoth beeing mentioned was the Dark Harvest by Josh Reynolds. In it, Kurnoth is described as beeing in a state between dormand and awakening, with his cults increasing in power. He is mentioned to be in Ghyran, somewhere near of Greywater Fastness Edited March 20, 2021 by Charleston 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clan's Cynic Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 (edited) I definitely think it's Kurnothi. My mind immediately went to the WHFB Orion model. We've also got the conspicuously normal looking Kurnothi in Cursed City who suggests they might be bringing the Wanderers back in line with Sylvaneth, so this would align with that. Plus the art shares a few design cues with the Kurnothi Underworlds warband. Edited March 20, 2021 by Clan's Cynic 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alghero81 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 5 minutes ago, TheMuphinMan said: So kurnothi are the next broken realms book? I have escaped my prison probably is referring to slaanesh's stomach. could be the kurnothi are siding with destruction because they freed themselves after slaanesh escaped instead of the aelf pantheon freeing them when they had slaanesh locked up. He says that he was in a mountain trapped under the rocks, that seems a clear reference to beast grave and direchasm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually he has the Kurnothi hair from the Underworlds war band. ... They look like they are fairly chucking these BR books out- we know the next 3 titles which haven't been released yet. Definitely looks like they are rushing towards 3rd ed AoS this summer the way they did with Psychic Awakening last year in the run up to the new 40k edition.

We also know the amber under the mountain trapped monsters for long time that are now free, they never materialised in WU game itself but we also don’t know anyone who escaped the mountain... so far... his people could be some of those monsters.

Dreddships Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 (edited) Could Kurnothi become a battletome and thrown a MR book Vs BoC/Kragnos? Kragnos being a BoC character and that trailer featuring a Kurnothi hero whose going to put him down. As Alghero said too, could Kragnos not be the conclusion to the Beastgrave story and the *Beast* trapped in amber that gave it the titular name. Kurnothi getting a battletome in the Beastgrave conclusion would be nice and fitting too Edited March 20, 2021 by Dreddships Speculation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandlemad Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 (edited) Weird that these are properly new deathrattle skeletons when the current ones are fine, good even. These aren't bad but... they're sort of unnecessary. New Dire Wolves would have been better. Those Blood Knights are boss though, dunno if it's just AoS scaling or if these move into Varanguard super-elite cavalry levels. Zombies are nice, some clear effort to distinguish them as AoS dudes with the roots, but can't imagine they'd compete with Mantic zombies. Ossiarch WHU dudes are fine. Mir Kainan is fantastic but sadly the others don't quite transcend the faults of the normal Mortek guard. Good poses but those faces have the same old issues. I like the Hekatos's halberd, it's a little like how sergeants in European militaries were often characterised by carrying a polearm of some sort. Emphasises the professional military side of things. Kragnos though, damn, ok. Some sort of demigod buried under the Beastgrave? My suspicion is that 'new bestial Destruction centaur faction' is a likely one, though that's a gut instinct on this not having quite the same fey feel as the Kurnothi. Interested to see if that's the case though, there's no doubt in my mind that the existing background for Kurnous/Kurnoth could be shoved aside quickly enough, Edited March 20, 2021 by sandlemad 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverstu Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Beastgrave is the mountain.. as in its a god beast not a god.. Could be Kurnoth's replacement .. Keeps Kurnothi separate from Sylvaneth, perhaps having list his people he adopts the Kurnothi?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreddships Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 (edited) If Krag is a godbeast, could be fitting to have a new 'Orion', now in Kurnothi form, be the one wanting to hunt him down. So the *god* could reference both Krag the Beast and the remains of Kurnoth in the form of Orion reborn? Could give us another Grey Order faction and a Destruction/Chaos faction to pit them with? Also I feel for 40k man, they seem to just get a whole load of paper. EDIT And somehow AOS Orruk Models? That's a Goregrunta conversion waiting to happen right?

Also can't believe so much AoS stuff, I thought after last online preview this one would lean more 40k. Presently surprised!

Neverchosen Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 (edited) Overall: As always here are my various uniformed and awful takes. Really cool reveals but I think that the things that would have excited me the most had already been revealed previously. I should have expected more emphasis on 40k but I was still hoping for something more in terms of AOS reveals like a dual box or some start collecting sets.AOS/Underworlds: Soulblight Gravelords: I was disappointed by how much we had already seen but the blood-knights gave me an audible gasp. Well worth the wait. The new skeletons were unexpected but seem very heavily armoured any thoughts on what will happen to Grave Guard? I am not much of a Zombie person but I love the makeshift weapons. Fell Bats have always looked a little off for me and these are huge improvement, but still have an oddly friendly face. Really excited for these new models overall, I just wish we hadn’t seen so much before hand. BloodKnights are the clear winners. Curious as to which LoN units are not accounted for at this point? I assume all the mixed army units like Morghasts, Spirit Hosts, and Vargheists will now exist apart from Soulblight Gravelords.Broken Realms Kragnos: What!? Is it a Dragon Ogre? Is it a Kurnothi? Chaos Dwarf Bull Centaur!!!??? Every potential is exciting to me… I am leaning towards Kurnothi…Underworlds: My that is a big boi! Cool warband… The hero and and archer are the clear stand outs. I assume the others will make for great proxied unit champs. They said in the chat that someone on staff was excited for the archer and ‘to take from that what you may’… I am taking away that OBR archers are confirmed…40k/Necromunda:Necromunda: Really cool and really remind me of the Scions of the Flame. Nice fodder for some Aqshy kit bashs. As much as Necromunda intrigues me I cannot afford it or the new box. Admech: Cool enough to intrigue me but not enough to make the plunge. I like this marshal a lot feels super classic Warhammer.Battlesisters: Big Tank! Really neat and I am a huge fan of the Battle Sister aesthetic and it looks great on their vehicles. I would like some Battle sister aircraft maybe with some stylized angel wings. One day if I get into 40k I will likely have Admech or Battlesisters… still hoping one day for Dark Mechanicum.Orks: Not a big fan of 40k orks but that Squig model is amazing and seems really easy to bring into AOS. I would run it as a loonboss on Giant Cave Squig in a heartbeat. Also more Orks mean more kitbash fodder for AOS so no complaints here. Misc. They mentioned Be’Lakor leading Space Marines maybe hope for our slaves to darkness.Final Thoughts: Lots of cool things that I really liked, but not a single thing for me specifically. I will say my various death playing friends are going to be really excited. Edited March 20, 2021 by Neverchosen 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bare head and exposed musculature on the dire wolf matches the (admittedly pretty garbo) current minis and that vampire lord atop the zombie dragon even has the exact same lance that you see in the current plastic kit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
