You must be really desperate for news and rumours. Come on, man. I don't want to have to write "This source is dubious but I am going to comment on the rumour as if it was factual anyway because I am fully capable of treating information in a hypothetical mode even without assuming it's fully credible" every time a new rumour comes along. This is the rumour thread, after all, not the 100% confirmed reliable information thread. 5 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandlemad Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 (edited) I don't think there's anything that's particularly implausible about that WHU lineup. Some of those warbands are basically just filling out the gaps in the for WHU range so far. Zombies are perfectly likely for the reasons @Neil Arthur Hotep suggests and skaven, as an army with four distinct subfactions, are crying out for a new warband to add onto their S1 version. Some of them are tied to the Ulgu underwater setting, maybe even too much? You have some obviously bestial gangs come in in Beastgrave but I don't think any of them were quite as particular to the setting as pirates or Ulgurite elves. I dunno, I think if someone did compile a 'best guess' list it would probably look like largely like this (besides chaos dwarfs because the daemon-powered hype train knows no breaks). But then if they did compile a list like that, it would be because these guesses are genuinely plausible and five seasons into WHU there's some obvious gaps to fill. Could go either way really.

It still feels like it deviates from the ogre baseline a bit but I guess not more than some other warband members we've seen. The Maneaters in Total War Warhammer do seem to be rocking a more consistent pirate-y aesthetic too. Comes at the price of the wild variety, sadly, but it's a good look. Maybe that's even the way GW is taking Maneaters in general. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be really desperate for news and rumours. It's a fairly plausible list, and if we don't discuss unverified rumours, there isn't much point to this thread. Aside from SoB, cities are the only faction that doesn't have a warband. We've had skeletons, ghouls and Vampires. A zombie warband is a logical next step. With the new season set in Ulgu, I'd be very surprised if Shadow Aelves don't make an appearance. The only outlier on that list is the pirates.

Just a single plastic Scuttleboss on Giant Spider, with a few small spider minions. Make him one of those "one big guy" warbands like Hrothgar or Mollog. He's on some venom-induced vision quest for his shaman. That way they can use him as a WHU warband and an update to the atrocious resin kit, makes him multi-purpose. Like Hrothgar and the Icebrow Hunter. Also to the rest of the thread, of course there is baseless pirate rumors. There have been for years. Nothing gets this site all worked up like the word "pirate." Pirate grots, pirate zombies, pirate ogors, pirate aelves, you say the word pirate and the thread explodes.

HollowHills Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 These rumours are quite easy to falsify as we should get an announcement on at least the first expansion warband before the end of the year. If true slightly sad, but not surprised, that there isn't going to be another Idoneth warband for the under the sea version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
