michu Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Looking at that Troggoth I think that rumour engine with armpit and maggots could be also from Moonlan faction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmir Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Tbh, this looks more like a "Legions of Nagsh treatment" (besides the scenery/spells), rather than a "Daughters of Khaine treatment". Which isn't a bad thing, A lot of the beastman/monster range holds up quite well (just like most of the LoN models, they aren't catastrophically old like grots/greenskins). 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a decently sized faction, and really helps consolidate subfactions left over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if that points to Everchosen and Slaves to Darkness being combined (maybe into Darkoath?). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see that, it'd be a Warriors of Chaos style battletome and have various rules for each God, rules for playing Undivided, and Darkoath is a pretty nice name for the unified Chaos forces. Of course, the biggest takeaway is the bigger implication of an Aelves and/or Free Cities battletome as well. And if we move further from that, every factions that got a focus is guaranteed to stay and probably get a battletome, like Gutbusters. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endless spell makes them look even worse by comparison. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karchev23 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Im so amped for BoC. I'll be sad if it is just the legions of nagash treatment. That chariot is awful. Either way im in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waiyuren Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 (edited) Are those bats or crows in the endless spell picture? A murder of crows fits my mental image of what a more sinister brayherd would look like than bats would...

This Troggoth looks like a mix of Sourbreaths and Rockguts with added mushrooms (and his grimace looks similar to some trolls or goblins from LotR and Hobbit movies - it perfectly captures barely thinking creature). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chikout Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 With the battletome coming in the next white dwarf, it looks like we will be seeing the beasts of chaos pretty soon. As the white dwarf photos say available now. Maybe in the next week or two It seems likely that we will see moonclan this year too. That would make 8 battletomes in one year which is pretty unprecedented. We are also getting more Shadespire this autumn. It has been quite a year for Aos. Looking forward to seeing some more stuff on Wednesday. We may even see an article about the beasts today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The physique (small feet, large body and hands) and overall feel (stuff sticking out from back and general cartoon look) is what makes it look the same for me, not the details. Don't like neither.

Don't like neither. As @Skabnoze already said, Night Goblins (now Moonclan Grots) and their allies were always a mainstay of comedy in Warhammer. This Troggoth perfectly fits. Wait for darker color scheme and then you will see the potential in this sculpt. Edited August 26, 2018 by michu 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infeston Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I really really like the Troggoth. I always wanted more Troggoths. So I am very happy. I also like the design very much. And as I read through this thread all the people who collect Moonclan or Destruction factions are also mostly happy about the design. I disagree with the people who say that mushrooms get old very fast. If I could wish for a new Destruction faction I really want GW to go nuts with shrooms, fungus, spores and cave critters. A Troll/Grot faction would be even better than only Grots. I didn't know I wanted a faction like this until now. I'd love to see more Troggoths. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warboss Gorbolg Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I've always thought that Beastmen were underrated models. Glad and surprised that they are getting a battletome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
