I mean, putting Boba Fett's Starship on the box of a toy doesn't really change the name of the ship in-universe (like putting Republic Fighter Tank instead of TX-130 Saber).

Also, new Troggoths is intriguing.
New Character/unit for Kruleboyz?
New faction?
New sub-faction for Orruk Wartribes?

Well, as a kid I was a huuuge Boba Fett fan (why was I immediately drawn to Chaos? Those T-visors certainly helped I think) and I had a toy of Slave-1 too… I don‘t see how it affected me in any way. 🤷🏻‍♂️
 

Also, I‘m selling a bunch of slaves (not AoS kits, the real thing) - anyone needs a couple of spare workers? They can prime and basecoat and if they fail, I also sell a whip! 😎👍 #Iblamebobafettsship

If we get a new troggoth I just hope it will visually be less abused looking than the other two kruleboyz models, that way I can justify getting one to ally into my gloomspite troggherd.

An armoured ironjaws troggoth would be amazing, I would buy in a heartbeat!

If armored troggs( ‘Ardggoths I’ve seen people in the past wishlist) it would be a cool unit and a nice way to even more show the difference between Morruks & Gorruks with the closer Order-aligned Ironjawz giving a trogg armor and respecting them as individual warriors compared to Kruleboyz enslaving them.

I would love this, but the symbol on the map for Slayer's Cliff seems to be literally a Stormvast symbol. Is there anything lore-wise linking Fyreslayers to Slayer's Cliff? I think the only FS related lore was that they are active as mercenaries in the Gnarlwood and are escorting people.

Nothing besides the name & that loreblurb as of yet.

Since the main Cities activity around the Gnarlwoods is mercenary I assume that the best mercenaries of them all (Fyreslayers) would take charge of that settlement as they better than others can breach the predatory woods.

”It is the faithful of Sigmar who have launched the most concerted efforts to lay claim to the Ravaging Ruin. The great Free Cities of Ghur - most notably Excelsis - have all dispatched their own expeditions to the region, the vast majority of which ended in great suffering and death. However, enough sellswords and explorers have returned with chests filled with looted trasure that a motley assembly of ex-Dawnbringers, mercenaries and assorted fortune-seekers continue to volunteer for each new venture”

“Fyreslayers: The Fyreslayers, untroubled by the sweltering temperatures and more common ailments of the Gnarlwood view Talaxis as a lucrative source of mercenary contracts, wherein they readily sell their axes to any explorers hoping to reach the Ravening Ruin.”

What better mercs to rally behind in a forest that wants you dead than mercs with big axes that are also on fire?

Completely agree, I was just hoping there was also something more concrete that I missed. Since the symbol is literally a Stormcast symbol I'm extremely doubtful it's actually going to be a Fyreslayers warband for either Underworlds or Warcry though. I would be very pleasantly surprised if it did turn out that way, probably be the highlight of the edition for me.

What do you mean by abused? Kruleboyz love their trolls. They all have nice cushions to make then more comfortable while they are stinged with iron barbs!

Im guessing another Troggoth for Kruelboyz, to go with Mirebrute and Sluggoth.

A unit of 2~3 troggs with a Beast-breaka to herd them would be really lovely. The more beasts kruleboyz have the better!

I love Troggoths as much as the next guy.. or maybe even more but I would love to see more weird swamp creatures for the Kruleboys. Give me a weird hippo, mudskipper or axolotl that Kruleboyz have coerced into fighting.

Well note that in Warcry terms the Cities are using that symbol too when they’re general-purpose.

We do need more info though like does the skull marked one mean a different expedition or that it’s been wiped out like camp fortune was?

Hell yeah! every release is one step closer to new Seraphon. 

Here's hoping we get to see new Seraphon but at the very least maybe a look at the next Order Battletome and whatever Model they're getting. .... more than likely Necromunda though. Surely Necromunda will run out of releases eventually right? image.png.85f7e8edd2c8c08b7131ef322c83e99c.png

Damn the Warcry box looks amazing, if I didn't have a ton of unpainted models and the Lizards planning to further hurt my wallet I might have been tempted to take the plunge into Warcry.

 

Oh, out of interest has there been any runmours about the upcoming Slaanesh book that anyone has heard? Remember hearing a while ago something about playtesters for the khorne book finding it ridiculously strong or something so I wondered if there were any nuggets for Slaanesh I had missed!

War Cry boxset next week.

Plus the Jade Obelisk and Hunters of Huanchi separate too.

On the one hand I’m excited for the Warcry releases, especially the Jade-blooded (instant include in my Tzeentch army), and the jet bikes are awesome! 
…on the other hand Wizards of The Coast just dropped the new Phyrexia block…… my wallet isn’t gonna recover from this…..

As far as I'm aware we haven't heard anything yet. I'm really excited to see what GW do with it. I've got Christmas 2021's Sybarite Blade Carnival waiting to be used once Hedonites get a better book. The last few books have me optimistic: GW seems to be finding their stride with designing fun books now.

Yeah I got that back in November, as well as a few other bits and bobs I've picked up for them (Shadow and Pain and such). You are right that there have been very few misses with the recent books though so it should be a massive improvement from the current book (though that isn't hard). Hopefully news will start to come out soon as we are entering the period where it will be released.

 

Also are Slaangors good now? I saw they had been buffed but not sure whether it was enough without the context of the rest of their scroll

By the by, have we got any remotely tangible evidence that new saurus knights are also coming?

Thanks to Whitefang, I'm fairly certain that a new scar-vet on cold one is, but I'm wondering if he'll have any mates to lead into battle.

The suspense around this release is killing me haha!

Hey trophy reacted my post that listed new Saurus Knights as one of the things we're getting. No idea if I got everything right or just some things. 

More importantly @Whitefang what's your favorite dinosaur?

With no new reveal show until March I expect they will reveal the newt tome in a WarCom article someday this month/start of the next one. 

Seraphon reveal I imagine will happen like they did with slaves (was around 3 reveal events + 2 articles with the lord, knights and warriors). I don't expect more until the next reveal on march.

1. Saurus Knights (potentially getting new mount, 2per box)
2. Saurus Guard
3. New Monster
4. New Kroxigor
5. Some Foot saurus  

Although I'm not Whitefang, have another trophy for making my day sir.

I still hope salamanders don't get left out, and they were mentioned in that partially proven rumor a while back.

They're better: +1 attack, +1 damage to their claws; the champion's Gilded Weapon is not basically +1 attack; their abilities have changed to be "at the end of any phase, if they have taken any damage and are at least 9" away from enemies, they can move D6"" and "once per battle fight a second time with always strikes last"; +20pts for 3.

Not sure they are good though: still fragile as anything, so that fight twice seems very likely to result in them being dead first. They hit harder than before, but not Ogroid Theridon hard. I for one hope they get a warscroll rewrite in HoS, but I'm not counting on it.

As long as Painbringers are decent I'll be happy.
