Kinda feel like hobgrots were just thrown in this box TBH. The other kits have regular grots.  We've seen many Kruelboyz Perhaps hobgrots will be part of the Dark Dwarf release instead (I say Dark instead of Chaos because i can see them being Destruction too potentially)

There‘s no hints that there’ll br a separate kit for Hobgrots, so far. Soul Wars Chainrasps were also the exact same kit that later got released separately.

There’s mention of another subculture of Kruleboyz who make war machines. I wonder if we’ll get something from them (possibly the big mounted crossbow thing, now that I think of it). All I really want though is some kind of cavalry unit, and this range will be incredible.

Hobgrots lore talks about chaos worshipping dwarves so i doubt they'll be anything but chaos.

I coild see 40k box getting on preorder soon as they seems to mot have any other reveal ,just the new heroes.

This "Sunday's Next Week" is very possible is for Necromunda and other Specialist Games. I expect a new preview on the 31 of July when they show us all the models and what is coming in September. And finally a "Sunday's Next Week" with the first wave..

The Stormcast model isn’t being shown until next week, not today.

‘If we were the Stormcast Eternals, we’d be hoping to hear about something strong enough to take down Gobsprakk right about now.

Perhaps they’ll find just the thing next week…’ 

 

Theres still a fair bit of Sisters of Battle to come at some point too.

The bag and what appears to be a saw or bladed tool or something with a leather cover make me lean towards some sort of mason or engineer over a witch hunter. Something associated with the Dawnbringer crusade affair sounds plausible, whether this is part of a new/reimagined & renamed faction or just a new unit for CoS. Maybe something Grungni-ish?

It has a butcher cleaver, a mallet and what look like stakes. At first I thought it was a new Ogre Butcher model, now I'm not so sure. 

My first thought was "new generic Witch Hunter" but looking at it again, the cleaver doesn't fit that at all, and the legs actually look pretty stocky.  I'm changing my guess to "Ogor Maneater cosplaying as a Witch Hunter"

I could see it being something like a Shyish/Dawnbringer-inspired Ogor Maneater.

Ogor Maneater Witch Hunter would be such an epic idea for a model!!

Could it be the backside of this Rumour Engine?

Barring the bit about the Dawi-Azhar being destruction I agree with you. There has just been too much confirmation of there being chaos dwarfs for such a thing to not happen. If we do get more hobgrot units, I’m  hoping for calvary and some form of sling shot skirmishers, and perhaps a khan to lead them into battle.

honest with hobgrots being a bridge between chaos & destruction and no grand alliance armies in 3.0, I wonder if they are going to stop  with the hard focus on the grand alliances and do stuff like allow some ogres as coalitions for cities (maybe only certain units so no thundertusks and the like)

Same, unless it’s a Kosargi Nightguard multi-kit. I’m sorry @KingBrodd, you know I generally wish your Swoleness the best of luck rumour wise, but if there’s a chance of those Slavic ogre corpses getting a model I must support it.

I fully understand that model is awesome!! Its just a shame that the 2 most recent Ogor models havent been for the Mawtribes themselves!!

That was my first thought! Belladamma would be perfect riding it as a vamp Lord on zombie dragon. She’s even got feathers on her so would combine really well

Totally agree. And imagine that thing perched on top of a Skullvane Manse...

Man, I wish we had mercenary rules for ogres. We know they work for SOB, so why not the beefy lads?

I have a small Beast Claw Army and they would love to worship the dark gods and go on a rampage or bring my Dominion SCE up to 2000 points.
