I’m sure glad we know there’s no more new models, otherwise we’d go into a frenzy thanks to all the directionless hype. Anyway- wait? What was that? … AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Any guesses? Even more dragons? I kind of want to see another Stormcast warmachine - but then, I want to see more warmachines in general. I do think the Thunderstrike wave has done a good job in covering almost every battlefield role and weapon type. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Red King Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 So there are going to be 12 more units in the new stormcast book (76 as opposed to current 64 on GW site) Are those all accounted for? I'm not a stormcast player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarouan Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Yup, looks like we have yet to see all the new Stormcast Eternals units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or it's more Stormcast Drake units!! Regardless I'm very happy with the Kruelboyz release, I'm happy to see Destruction start getting the attention.

That would certainly make a lot of sense! I understand that AoS wanted lots of gear-swapping and equipment lists, but I never understood why they had to give different names to otherwise identical units. Made the battletome (and webshop) look very bloated. And inconsistent too: Liberators are Liberators, regardless of hammers and swords, but Retributors become Decimators when they wield axes? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're definitely missing roles in their army, which isn't uncommon in AoS, but the army as a whole feels like it's one unit shy of being a nice, complete force. Yup, that's how I feel about it. Maybe even would have helped my perception of the Kruleboyz release if the Hobgrots looked more like part of the rest of the faction too, but I also would've happily traded them for a different unit of Orruk Kruleboyz instead and see Hobgrots be their own thing.

So 10 accounted for past that, so six unknown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AOS, at least up to this point, has not been a game where diversity and breadth equates to anything besides jack of all trades, master of none. Most competitive lists have a central ethos and 3 or 4 units to execute it, and often one of those components makes up a huge spamor summon percentage. KB are not missing any of those classic AOS requirements. While it's true that the new rules with their reinforcement quota sort of nerf that approach, they do so *directly* in favour of massively buffed heroes and monster mechanics and participation, which are well represented among the KB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chikout Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 There's 53 warscrolls in the old book, plus gardus and the underworlds warband from season 2 makes 56. In Dominion there are 7 units. After that we have have 4 different dragons, 3 new units if annihilators get a second warscroll for the different weapon, 3 new heroes and the chariot. That leaves 2. Persecutors have two listings in the store but only one warscroll currently. My guess is that is split and the missing warscroll is a new scenery kit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually we know that Judicators get their warscroll split in the new book from the points page leak a while back in the how to play videos. So it's likely prosecutors don't change and we get judicators split plus i guess another new unit. Why do stormcast need all this stuff gw?? This is coming from a stormcast player! I love these models but give other factions love too! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfhead Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Every time I read ‘dragon princes’ my heart jumps and then sinks because they are not talking about my favorite unit of classic high elves that got me into the game, but these new guys that I have no intention of buying. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, Steam Tanks and Stegadons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfyre Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Can't imagine it's another unit or the kruleboyz cav (because why wouldn't the hint be in the Gobsprakk article yesterday?), it'll be something gamey like dice, combat gauge or scenery presumably. Maybe a Getting Started set containing the sacrosanct from the last starter set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnusaur Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 A terrain piece makes sense. Maybe also a Lord-Imperatant clamshell? It feels weird to me that you can't get a generic Lord-X with Thunderstrike outside of the starter sets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though its likely surprises for stormcast, I do really hope its for Kruleboyz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
