The Rumour Thread

[Gothmaug]

I’m inclined to believe they are part of orruk warclans. There were no orruk updates now terms of models in all of second edition, and none in the broken realms series. No models, no boxes sets, no spells, nothing. Stormcast and destruction are probably about to get a big update/expansion in 3rd edition. I welcome my new weedy orruks with open arms.

I think you're onto something there

Edit: In fact the more I think about the previous rumour engines the more I think you're right. The hook hand was pirate-y enough but we also have a big piece of netting if I remember right? Why use a little grot netter when you can cast a massive one off of your airship?

I like this theory a lot. But i hope this army is a bit more allround than just airships or just cavalry.

It could also be a wrecking ball of sorts. But is should have a snotling on it miley cyrus style XD. 

Edit: could add the snotling myself  i guess 😛

I almost called upon you to muster your Vanguard Chamber with haste to scout each area.

This from todays Rumour Engine can be read as a hint of the Vanguard Chamber being the Stormcast focus of the Dominion box.

[CitizenX]

I would love the line to see Vanguard as the focus. Of the three open chambers, it is the one I prefer but has the weakest rules.

Am I the only one seeing what looks like an eyeball in the middle of that ball and chain?

I suspect this is just flavour.

We've already seen some of the new stormcast and they don't look particularly vanguard-y

Its a shame. Imo skaarac is the best fantasy model they've ever made. It's full of movement and raw power. If they've discontinued it from poor sales they need to look at the reason for that - a consistently subpar warscroll.

Nonsense.  I refuse to believe it.

It's not like the greater Khorgorath hasn't got the khorgorath keyword... oh.. hang on a minute!!

 

So next GHB he'll be legends as a result, and that your honour is why I feel I can't drop 400 bones on the khorne dragon, as I can see the life expectency of that model in events being very short lived.

Dear GW... please can we have our Chaos lord on dragon back, like it was in fantasy.  Ta muchly.

I think forgeworld just morphed into specialist games. Forgeworld first started making 40k and fantasy kits when the main studio was much smaller and wasn't capable of making really big kits. 

Now the main studio can make practically anything except titans.  Many forgeworld kits have been made into plastic kits. When they were made the chaos dwarves  they were the 16th army. Now they are the 25th. There simply isn't the need for forgeworld to do 40k or AoS kits anymore. 

Meanwhile the specialist games studio is running more and more games. They are up to 6 now, with a massive Warhammer fantasy range on the way. This is where all the forgeworld resources are going and while it's sad to lose some of the cool monsters, I think it's the correct decision. 

Oh they can do that as well, they just choose not to.

The adeptus Titanicus models are a perfect test run for sprue layout and mould flow control, so I wouldn't say never.

In fact if they released a plastic warhound it would sell out quicker than a run of Indomitus, who doesn't want to recreate that wonderful piece of art with the skitarii legions marching in front of the warhound.

At the moment you have people happy to drop anything up to 2k on a  warlord titan without blinking. All the while that happens, you're not going to see a plastic one anytime soon.

This is why despite the Squig Gobba and Hag being my favorite FW models, I will never own them. I don't want to spend that kind of money just to have it discontinued in a few months. FW in the past few years has been a gamble.

My bet is for a sky-pirates grot faction.

This sort of weird shield actually looks to me  some sort of "squig skin" patches in a grot zeppelin balloon and the hanging ball is some sort of counterweight hanging from the zeppelin.

 

 

I'd love to see sky-grots, but if all of these rumour engines are from the Dominion box I doubt it the Grimdark Live rumours have so far been correct and they said nothing about sky-pirates (and Whitefang here in the forums has indicated they'd be tied to Warclans, while I'd assume Grotbag Scuttlers would be Gloomspite).

I'm really disappointed by it, as I really had hoped that finally with AoS forgeworld models were now part of the family.

In fantasy we were always out in the cold, and that meant that nothing sold because even warhammer world wouldn't allow you to play your FW models.

AoS came along and all of a sudden we were part of the community and we felt there was inclusion - I so wanted that dragon and Skaroc to make an appearance in the blades of khorne battletome, as I did for the destruction models in the their relevant battletomes.

With Mawtribes being released they could have pulled the old rhinox cavalry out of the bag, they would have sold by the bucket load, @KingBrodd would have messed himself with joy.

What Cities army wouldn't have lusted after a Marienburg class landship for their army for instance.

Not even a last chance to buy email. nothing.   Just like the last two models I needed for my chaos dwarfs, the mortar and skullcracker, just disappeared.  Very sad.

Am I misreading this, or does the bottom kind of spoil BR: Kragnos?

[Chikout]

The article they just put up on the community site has a bit Broken Realms Kragnos info in it so be careful.

Yes. They did say spoilers but I assumed it would be for the books that are already out.

The dwarf... AYE THANGYEOWWWWW... 😎

[Acrozatarim]

Wow, that's quite a spoiler re Duardin stuff in there I guess.

 

Edit: Though I guess it was already kinda indicated by Grungni helping with the latest Stormcast creations, but if I read it correctly, I guess it indicates who the white-haired chap in Belakor was after all?

Yeah, I read it thinking that they meant spoilers for the first three books. Jeez, what a mess.

This is how I read it too, especially when they made sure to mention Kharadron Overlords and Fyreslayers in the same sentence. 

Wonder how long we will wait for more Grungi lore developement.

Edit:  Wow got to the Destruction part, they really just went out and said the ending.  They could of just said:

Grand Alliance: Destruction: Make sure to read Broken Realms Kragnos to find out what our favorite fighty boys are up too.

Rhinosx Cavlary seem to me to be a natural Progression to expand BCR, then again the Mournfang may have just replaced them.

“The Kharadron Overlords and Fyreslayers have been getting along better – the return of Grungni the Maker was a beacon of hope for all duardin. ”

Is this a spoiler as well? 
 

@silverstu

[sandlemad]

Yep, that’s the ending of BR Kragnos. Nothing surprising really, certainly nothing we wouldn’t find out this weekend, and the real interest is going to be in the details in the book itself, not just two-line summaries, but eh.  

It is pretty funny that releases are so rammed together that they felt the need to mention this so as to avoid undercutting the new edition preview. 

[Talas]

Wow, I don't mind spoilers, but that article needed a bigger warning.

It's confirmation of an intentionally vague story beat from Broken Realms: Be'lakar.  There was much debate if the Dwarf in those parts was supposed to be Grungi or the Grombrindal.  Really odd to just come out and reveal it like this

I managed to get the few LoA units I didn't own before they went off sale, although I did miss out on the Siege Giant and Cursed Etin

I have some of the other AoS monster sculpts, mainly as I missed out on things like the Chaos Mammoth and saw the price go up and up on ebay. So now if I ever get round to doing Seraphon I have the dread sauron, if I do Gloomspite, I have the troll hag, etc.
