Siorra Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 You know I would totally not be angry if they introduced every new army with a Shadespire unit as a taste of what's to come. I mean, we've had some pretty wicked looking skellybones, so hopefully some shadespire Aelves?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnelian Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 If we look back at the accompanying text for the past rumour engines that have been solved, were they actually helpful clues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I recall. I could be pessimistic and point out the UK news yesterday morning was full of news about Venus and Jupiter conjunction visible in the sky the night before ('stars' aligning), but i dont want to spoil anyones hopes and dreams Edited November 15, 2017 by stato 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsharitt Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 This is the first rumor engine in a while I'll agree has a good chance of being Elven. That being said, if it is from and elf, I'd say the odds are better at it being a Shadespire squad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iam kinda skeptical of that.. as we have 4 other known warbands for Shadespire that dont include anything Elven. If it is Elven then it would make sense that its for AOS. That beeing said, It could be 40K exodites, or Shadespire Stormcast bowmen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's less that I think it's Elven Shadespire and more that I think it could actually be elven(too many people see elves everywhere), but if it is, I'd guess it was shadespire.

NurglesFirstChosen Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) Rumour sounds great if it’s comes to fruition. But hope isnt something sons and daughters of Nurgle should feel so I’ll remain in despair ha ha. In reality I hope it’s true! ?

Get some share daemons to round our my Death Guard and then build our the AoS side. Pestigors would be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most 40k isn't my bag but from the bit of reading I've done on the fluff this would definitely be my army if it was a thing! Is there any chance this could be for LOTR? Any rumor engine precedent for that? They do seem to be rebranding it to the "Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game" with next month's 'Battle Companies' book, maybe some more LOTR in the pipeline? I do think it's most likely AoS though. Now this just has to be aelves this time, right? You know what they say about broken clocks. Or I am just a broken record?

I don't think it can be Lord of the Rings. The Rumour Engine (as far as I'm aware) has only been for releases done from the main studio. LOTR is now handled exclusively by Forgeworld. As for the rumour engine image. I don't see it being a Death thing, the arrows or bolts, whatever they are look a bit too clean for Death or Destruction. The metal work on the quiver leads me to think it's some fashion of Dark Aelf (Shadow aelf or otherwise), or it could be something Chaos as well (Potential Darkoath stuff?). I'd probably guess Shadow Aelves though, as I guess in theory we should be much closer to that release since we've had the little serpent on hand rumour forever now.

There’s been at least one rumour engine from Blood Bowl (Goblin chainsaw guy) so there is some precedent for FW stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayple Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I had a dream last night. The new aelves were released alongside some death stuff. The aelves were made out of, or surrounded by (spirit hosts style) black fog/mist. Some were mounted. Their heads/hair ended in a dark mist, sorta like the dark aelf warlocks. Glowy eyes. Or singular eye, in some cases. My subconcious is obviously getting big aelf cravings 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to find it, but I remember reading a reference to Pestigors recently that had them capitalized and everything. Which backs up this rumour hopefully. That said I hope they add AoS Poxwalkers. With all these new cities about, it seems like a great time for Nurgle to spread some of his gifts...

The Blightwar booklet ? And I really doubt the "pox walker in AOS" theme, if we get Pestigors instead... Even if plague zombies are cool in every setting !

SaJeel Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Pestigors appear in a bunch of the lore, and also i feel like one of the skulls in the skull box is perfect for a pestigor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best solution for the Pox Walker kit, is to put out a upgrade pack that can be used with existing 40k models for them.... and then in AOS for Zombies. I doubt it will happen but its the elegant solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
