Thanks, got it for 75 euro, crazy good deal, I was going to get the core book on it's own, but for an extra 35 euro to get the whole box was a steal. Looking forward to converting up some Nurgle units from the box!

Exactly. The only Faction I could see not getting anything but a Battletome is the Sons of Behemat. Unless they update the Mancrusher I could see it being a Tome release only. Fingers crossed for that update!!

I mean the rumour list for 40k that's so far been accurate had Chaos Knights getting a new codex next year complete with a new model so I could see them releasing a new gargant kit of some sort, either bigger than the current Mega Gargants or inbetween the two kits the line currently has

There was the /tg/ rumour posted previously that was correct about Red Harvest being Spider-Cultists vs Darkoath. wherein they also mentioned Sylvaneth were getting new stuff, so it could be that?

Of course, the Red Harvest guess may have been a lucky one on their part, but who knows with how much GW's taps drip these days.

Yeah, it wasn't that crazy of a prediction so it's a wait and see if the rest pans out.
There wasn't a timeline so Sylvaneth could be mid 2022 at earliest. The current book was out mid 2019 and that was after being delayed. And it isn't like that book was all that hot either.

I love the Knight models and would love to see my Sons expanded but I think it's still too soon, granted itll be 2 years in April since the Sons were supposed to be released, having been delayed into October.

The Mancrusher could definitely use an update and a 2nd Mega kit covering a Shaman or the Matriarch of a Stomp would be perfect. Also of course that makes room for King Brodd!!

I could also see Half-Gargants making an appearance. Seeing as how an Ogor is halfway to a Gargant in size anyway and that some Ogor Tyrants wrestle Mancrushers for fun, perhaps we could see an Ogor Gargant mix!?

The little hook at the end of that insect leg made me think of a beetle more than a mantis. Because I don't think it's a claw.

Also, I came across this when googling "mantis feet" so now you all have to look at it, too:

This latest rumour engine could literally be Malerion. Someone cleverer than I could put together a selection of rumour engine pics that are still unsolved, even after the latest preview and all the Death releases that still looks creepy. If Malerion's [insert creepy made-up word]eth faction come out in early 2022 as predicted, they are going to have beasties with them. Could be shadow demons, or dragons, but those dragons will have to have a very different style to distinguish them from the new Draconith models.

[dnusha]

Visually Malerion and it's faction are going be more or less in line with DoK and old FB elves imo. There were 13 kingdoms of dark elves (Thirteen Dominions) in Ulgu before Chaos invasion and Malerion ruled over all of them. Literally an empire of dark elves. I have no doubt that some broken  elven souls form slaanesh will find their way into some horrific forms thanks to Malerion. (in line with medusas)

Quote

The Melusai were once the souls of aelves devoured by Slaanesh. Upon being freed from that hellish incarceration, their energies were portioned off to Morathi. There, in the dungeons beneath Hagg Nar, these souls were mixed with shadow magic and Morathi’s own blood to be reborn, reshaped in the image of their creator. The lower half of their body is that of a serpent, scaled and coiling with fierce strength, while the upper torso is indistinguishable from that of a female aelf.

Creppy shadowy stuff can be related to something else in Ulgu though.

But honestly i doubt it. GW just filling new giant fantasy world with content and looks if it sticks in the community.  (silent people in beastgreave etc.)

I hope we don't get Malerion and a narrative shift to Ulgu until summer 2023 at the earliest.

Would like to spend some more time with the focus on Ghur/Destruction first.

[Neverchosen]

I think the engine is most likely something from the upcoming chaos space marine range like a strange mutation maybe an updated chaos spawn or new demon engine. As for Malerion, I do not think introducing Malerion forces a shift in perspective towards Ulgu as we might be getting wave one of his forces and maybe it is vanguard sent into Ghur to capture coldones or something?

Their name escapes me now but our new Rumour Propieter who told us about the Ogor Pirate Warband also said there would be a Necromancer Warband and a Human Witch Hunter alongside a Shadow Aelf Warband for Underworlds next Starter set.

After the truth about the Pirate Ogor I'm inclined to believe them!!

In the last white dwarf that had the tome celestial for Seraphon. They mention that Kragnos and Kroak are inevitably will have to clash before the Era of Beast end

I actually find that pretty funny.

"A Big Order Guy and a Big Chaos Guy have to have a fight before the Era of the Beast (Destruction) ends." 

Like, GW forgot that the Era of the Beast was supposed to be about Destruction and just decided anything non humanoid was more important.

 things that are interesting. Is that the Kruleboyz don’t like the Seraphon in Ghur because they are realmscaping the jungles and the Kruleboyz want to turn the land into tainted swamps. 
 

the Era of the beast have also cause the Seraphon to go wild because of their primal nature and the Slaans have to expand more magic to keep them in check. However the  Koatl’s claw constellation is embracing their savage nature

This could be a good sign for Seraphon range update!! What better way to update the models then have them going more feral lorewise, bigger badder Saurus and even bigger and badderer(?) Kroxigors!!
