The Rumour Thread


Recommended Posts

They probably won’t reveal the next underworld warband until the current ogor get release next year. Beside the next release is a universal card pack I believe and the next warband isn’t until Q2 2022
 

Warcry release is so irregular so it unknown if they bother to get anything until late next year again

GW shares price is at the same level at it was a year ago. These battleforces better be good 😅

Looking like that sharp drop was around the time their were HGV driver shortage announcement in the UK, coupled with the Fuel delivery shortage. Would be interesting to see the stock rate for other companies to compare if was a similar dip.

 

I don’t know how but I reckon Chaos Dwarfs, Angron, Malerion and Tyrion will pick them back up.

It would appear then that it will be mainly 40K sideline games such as Kill Team, Titanicus, Aeronautica and Necromunda that will be getting shown off then.

battleforces, lumineth and obr gotta be in as they are overdue for them following the gw rhythm
that's 1 per death and order, throw in battleforce 2 megas + 2 minis and you've got destruction

 

I am holding out on either Nighthaunt or FEC for death because I have a friend that already plays OBR and I am thinking of rounding my collection off with a death army... but if it is Slaanesh for Chaos, I might forgo Death for something more seductive... 😉

I'm pretty sure the reason they haven't gotten anything like that is that they have the worst liked aesthetic out of every army according to all polls I've seen on the subject by a wide margin. Even then they still got spells and terrain at least 

The lack of package deals with Fyreslayers has 100% the reason my army isn’t larger than the Start Collecting.

It’s literally the Bretonnian/Tomb King Death Spiral all over again.

Except in this case, they skipped actually building up the faction before the lights go off

Both tomb kings and bretonnians had troop variety beyond "angry stripper dwarf with axe".

All I want to know is if the Gloomspite new book is gonna be released after or before March 1, but the number of rumours and leaks is almost zero nowdays.

Guess Whitefang is charging up some kind of spiritbomb and waiting to drop it when the moment is just right.

I still think the narrative is leaning towards Duardin soup. I am still hoping that we get an update on the classical dwarf theme with a female/valkyrie army that worships Valaya. I think they'd include a unit of infantry (winged spears and round sheilds), Flying cavalry (Ranged and Melee), Artillery Piece and a Few Heroes. Overall I could see it being a small subfaction and then they could hopefully increase the number of the other Duardin factions by a unit or two.

As for the cavalry I want them to be adorable winged ponies because for all the creativity of AOS I want some more fun things.

As for my top pick for the other Duardin Subfactions:
Fyerslayer: Magmadroth Chariot
Dispossesed: Mechanical Golem
Kharadron: Piloted Mech Behemoth for Close Combat (Thinking of Escaflowne here)

I really hope we get Fyreslayer updates this Edition, at the moment they are quite one dimensional, model wise but the incredible thing about AOS is its limitless potential. 

Start adding more Armoured Duardin, switch it up with Unarmed Brawler Rage fueled Duardin, more monsters, Magmadroth Cavlary and other beast pulled chariots, a Magma Tortoise with a Howdah full of Bezerkers. 

Hell just add female Duardin!!

What about a magmadroth herder/trainer? You could have it be like a duardin model and 9 small magmadroths. Heck, if we end up going this rabbit hole Im not sure we are going to be able to stop XD

I think in Black Library Stories their are creatures called "Demidroths". If I remember correctly they are smaller than an magmadroth and can't breath fire, but I would really like to see those as a Cavalry option.

I've been wanting fyreslayer cavalry for a long time mini magma being ridden by axe wielding dwarfs. 

Fyreslayer was my first aos army though.

My predictions for battleforces '21

Lumineth older range

Obr 

Slaanesh mortals maybe with a Kos similar to dot box last year. 

So far pretty much what everyone has predicted 

I think if there's a destruction box either big waaagh to shake things up or ironjaw one doubtful but a sob to be would be good if model light

Sounds a bit like Uroktor (monster hunter).

I have to read the describtion of them again, but I have the feeling I see something even more massive when thinking about the demidroth. As a real time reference maybe a comodo dragon or like the Dodongos from Legend of Zelda

The top bit in particular makes me think of Seraphon.

As much as I'd like that, I think this one is almost certainly Necrons. They have models with the exact same designs on them already:

In particular, I am thinking of the pattern on the metal tentacles and the pixel effect on the skull. Both can also be seen in the rumour engine.

Yes, looking at the picture you shared leaves no doubt, definitely Necron and not Lizard People, which is a shame.
