Chikout Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Slightly worried we won't see much for AoS at Nova. GW has already confirmed more Orks, probably including the full speed freeks unveiling, and Nightvault. They will almost certainly show Delaque for Necromunda and some form of chaos for 40k, whether it is Abaddon, Fulgrim, or Angron. If they throw gsc that is already quite a lot of stuff to show. I am sure Moonclan are coming eventually but I will be a bit disappointed if we don't see them on Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodmaster Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 - Darkoath will be undivided barbarians. - Demons will probably will be their own book with a new line of undivided demons as well as including all 4 god specific demon kin - all 4 Godds get thier own mixe (mortals and demons) book - slaves to darkness should evolve to an overarching battletome for the GA excluding skaven. - Beastmen probably has all beasts, with the option to expand certain subfactions - and everchosen might evolve in what was classicly known as Warriors of chaos, undivided and marked, hopefully with some new models. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos in any form probably will only be teased, as a reaction on the leaks/speculation from sunday/early monday. all in all, the seminar might still have room for some AoS faction(s) depending on whether they are only Tomes with Endless Spells or full-on army releases. on undivided demons: Chatter has it, that a certain demon prince, first of his kind, is in works Edited August 28, 2018 by Bloodmaster 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkbelly Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Makes sense. (whiny voice) "All the other chaos gods have their own plastic kit! Why don't I have one? It's not fair!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ageofpaddsmar Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Will the beastmen get new warscrolls or will this book just put them all together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michu Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 (edited) Thet will definitely get new warscrolls. Similar thing happened in the LoN battletome - they changed how skeleton standard bearer works and some necromancer abilities (they probably changed more, but I don't have that book and I mention only those things I remember).

I woudn't be suprised if GW turned the ambush rule up to eleven and going for a endless reinforcement thing as long as unit X is still alive or something. But that's just wishful thinking of course. What I do expect is some new synergies in the army. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes GW is a business is and has a focus on making money, that's obvious and perfectly fine. But let's not forget that the rules designers, the creatives are all fans of their own product so they want as cool as possible armies. Which in turn makes us players/hobbyist happy and makes the company money. It's all good. ( *maybe only happens when a unit is wiped, as some scenarios are. No extra models needed ) Edited August 28, 2018 by Kramer 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be anything really, these rumour engine images leave a little too much to the imagination, in my opinion. I’m not a Underworlds player but I’m really hoping for a big Nightvault preview at NOVA. I wanna see more of the Troggoth warband and all of the minis have been great so far.

Bloodmaster Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 at this point, I don't really care anymore about for what faction or system Rumour engine images are, as long as they turne out to belong to awesome models - and this one is very promising - bring it on GW - Flaming, haloed skull FTW. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malakree Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I would personally expect darkoath to focus specifically on the mortal aspect of chaos. You have beasts covering the bestial side, demons work much better in an God specific book given how intimately tied they are to specific gods. That leaves the mortal aspect a bit in the lurch, a book which featured everchosen, marauders, chaos warriors, undivided, armies featuring multiple gods and the mortal ascension demons would round out the chaos updates without stopping them updating something like slaanesh. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, a new book is a prime opportunity to rework the warscrolls - especially if a bunch of units that previously could only be fielded as allies are now under the same army allegiance umbrella. I don't think you will see any changes that are extremely drastic (aside from maybe a rework of a command ability or a couple new ones being added in), but they will probably rework things so that they fit together a bit more into a complete force. So expect tweaks rather than huge sweeping changes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 So today I decided to prepare for the imminent arrival of a new Destruction force, by buying the Fungoid Cave Shaman. When the part in the picture caught my eye. Are my eyes deceiving me or is the pattern nearly identical to a Rumour Engine picture from not that long ago?! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true, but back then Squigs were not necessarily an Ork/Greenskin thing and the weird "squiggly beasts" were mostly a 40k thing. When they were pulled into Fantasy they morphed into the template for what we now know as squigs and they have never really changed that much since then in fantasy. Having said that, I would be perfectly fine if they took the existing squig that we all know and love and mutated some different variants of it. Forgeworld did that already with the Squig Gobba and I think it would be great if we saw GW take that idea and evolve squigs a bit. Warhammer Online did this as well and I still really love the various Squig breeds that they put into that game. I would love a unit of Gas Squigs! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
