The Rumour Thread


Recommended Posts

@novakai Yeah, sorry I meant Blood and Glory. I'm not much of a tournament guy.

I'm pretty sure Blackstone and Wrath and Rapture will be shown off there, but also probably a studio preview for the next AoS army (which my gut says will be Moonclan, but I could be wrong). Honestly I don't think Slaanesh will be coming out for 6ish months if only because when they release new products in a boxed set it usually takes them about that long to repackage them. When we get the repacked Fiends and Heralds I'll bet we will get the new KoS and Slaanesh stuff. I also think Darkoath and Slaanesh will be released closely together and be part of a big story shift away from the Nagash theme and back to Chaos. I'm not sure we'll get anything for December other than the usual boxed armies and maybe some new Start Collectings (which would be wonderful).

@Caladancid I think you are probably on to something. I know the specialist games studio has said many times part of the reason for slow roll outs of BB and Necromunda stuff is that they have to find space in the production schedule. There was also the rumor that Moonclan got pushed back to release Beasts of Chaos, which is a considerably smaller plastic production project than a whole new army.

Moonclan or a combined Greenskin/Grot tome of some sort must be nearing release,,I mean Destruction is in dire need of a boost to be brought up to AoS2.0 standards.Moonclan and Spider fang used to have battalions that they could use from the Realmgate wars books but those dont have points(not sure if they ever did) and these factions have no GH faction representation for abilities and artifacts.In short,Moonclan,Spiderfang and Greenskins are by far the largest,yet least supported factions in the game now,,and they are a sizable part of the least competative Grand Alliance.

 I know this isint a rumor but please..make the next AoS release Green!

Ironjaws look great, but yeah the rest need boosts. I will eat my Kharadron hat if one of the next two death releases isn’t some sort of undead pirate. The fan demand is huge. I will be so torn if they get released and an updated beastclaw with new models. Who to pit against my Chamon ko/Deepkin alliance in my display board. Destruction or death. You decide GW you decide lol. Thankfully it’s going to take a long time to get the rest of my ko done let alone Deepkin started.

while true that GW usually doesn't release models from a big box outside those boxes earlier than 6ish month after the box release, I don'T see it as a given indication, that Slaanesh is far out. GW could use the Codex/Battletome to bolster the sales of W&R through having the Blood hounds, the Fiend and two heralds (one for each deity) for some time as exclusive in the box. Maybe some alternative versions of the heralds might show up,similar to the SCE heroes this summer.

I keep hearing that Grots (Moonclan) are coming in either November or January. As much as I would like to believe it, it seems like nothing but hot air to me.

Can anyone prove otherwise?

What Manly said. There's some still spoiled moonclan themed mini's that have yet to be released if you need some circumstantial proof. Though with the bases attached to them it's quite likely they are related to shadespire. Will know for sure in a few months :P

Haven't had a chance to play shadespire yet but I do sometimes wish they'd just repeated the mold a few times and turned that warband into new units instead haha. Love the moonclan warband design wise.

These unsolved Rumour Engine pictures all look like they could be Moonclan to me....

Probably a Rogue Trader model in another useless Kill Team expansion

I would not call Rogue Trader useless. Overpriced compared to the miniature/sprue amount in comparable sets and disappointing in rule and lore content, but not useless.

Anyway, if it is a Rogue Trader mini, I think it would be for Blackstone Fortress, so Warhammer Quest 40k, not Killteam. However, I am more inclined to think it is a AoS, as Roguetraders are a bit more on the sleek side. This has almost an Empire from the World-That-Was vibe, from what I can see.

It's got to be either Freeguild or 40k Rogue Traders, I don't think any other armies have feathers like that.

An Inquisitor could as well. Honestly I think the free guilders should calm down since all of this points to 40k most likely. It’s rare GW teases something and completely unexpectedly reveals something these days. There’s been lots of chatter about the new 40k boadgame so likely we’re seeing teasesfor it and common theory says it will be revealed soon.

Grots for sure... !  maybe

I do t know the feathers are possible hinting into the direction of something more well let’s say human related.

that said it could be anything that has to do with free peoples and or those new 40kmodels which just shown up in kill team.

But who knows maybe Gw was very inspired by that mixed skaven player who seems to love conversion work.

so who knows maybe t has something to do with Grots maybe it’s more free guild related than any of us would have ever thought to believe and maybe it’s something new for 40k.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ps: but we all know deep in our hearts that it actually Has something to do with skaven ??

Yes-yes

It's 90% certain something  rogue trader / Black Fortress related. Which is nice.  If we ever see new Free Guild mini's it will certainly not be in the near future.  Which is a shame, but that's their fate now with Stormcast as the humanesque "good" guys.

Am I the only one who hopes that the old Landsknecht look of the Freeguild left over from the Old World Empire is eventually replaced by something more Mortal Realmly?  But in such a way that the old minis can still be used?  Maybe even side by side, like Cadians and Catachan minis?

But on topic, I would bet money that there’s some Moonclan stuff in those teaser pics.

Yes, while I liked the look of the Empire in fantasy, they absolutely need a more wierd and over-the-top look for AoS
