This means that they hopefully won't take any extra time talking about it during the big GAMA reveal tomorrow Good point Since this is the last confirmed release getting a tentative date, means we might actually be getting the next army reveal afterall! Or at least the next breadcrumb trailer. Calling it now, it'll be Slaneesh narrative focused with updated Slaves to Darkness (darkoath) trailing soon behind. Since Archaon will likely be stepping back into the narrative with a consolidated chaos at his back. Also, I wouldn't at all be surprised if Tzeentch had a tome in the works too. If Khorne is getting one, I can see GW wanting to bring ALL chaos into 2.0. Even if Tzeentch's book isn't bad in the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All because of those darned rats!! Sneaky devils sneaking a huge battletome and wave of new releases in like they did! I dunno, it’s currently the only way to get the Slaanesh Fiends and herald harp daemon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmac Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 (edited) Ah, ok. Really just looks like a Morsaar Guard who's been dismounted. I wouldn't turn up my nose at Akhellian infantry but I don't think the picture means anything. In any case, I'm happy for Khorne being anounced, just because I can hope again that the next armybook announcement is something vaguely interesting to me. Not getting the old hopes up too high though, I'm rooting for Seraphon/Fyreslayers/KO/Beastclaw/Gutbusters/Light Aelves, in no particular order, but there's no telling how much more Chaos get announced before the next Order or Destruction release.

It might get a mention at GAMA, but considering that all factions get this little build up prior to their release on WH-Com I'd imagine this is referring to the site, not the event. They don't really do rules discussion at the tradeshows. They're there to show off models and such, the community site is where you get the deep dives and precursors.

I sure hope there IS a way to stop them, otherwise we just reversed the entire problem with wizardless armies. On that thought, I hope they don't jump the shark on this whole anti-magic thing. Nobody who uses wizards is ever going to want to play against someone with Khorne if it means their units are completely useless. I imagine like most things it will come down to distance and positioning. I doubt a Bloodpriest is going to be able to drop it on a wizard 20” away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Rumour from /aosg/, so a good chance it is made up.

rattila Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 (edited) Sounds NOT nice. Current models squatted? But they are sold with round base, unlike most of elves models... Doesnt sound really serious. And what about beastclaw raiders if the ogor change height? Wille their model change too? I say fake news edit: otherwise i will have to use my current ogor as count as troggoth... edit 2: as much i i'd love the gutbuster to have some kind of "ironjawz treatment" and have them taller, i'll be mad to not have the possibility of using my actual army...

Luzgurbel Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I don't believe that. Not only one of the current Battletomes have stamped out the old models. Just take a look at the BoC or Skaven books, they have models (and rules) from 6th Edition. What I believe is that they will release new models that are HUGE. That is something I could bet for.

Yeah well I think calling it lazy is the better word. (But hey it’s better they are lazy then to just have to wait another 3-5years) also I doubt Ogors in general will loose they’re range. There may be a few models who’ll get lost in the vortex of legends but definitely not a whole range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmac Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Depending on how ambitious GW gets with doing Gutbusters, I could see them replacing/eliminating a huge swathe of characters. One of the big downsides of Gutbusters currently is that literally all the heroes are finecast, including the Firebelly Caster, the Gorger, and all the Man-eater models. So new plastic equivalents for Tyrants, Butchers, Firebellies and some sort of customizable Maneater kit strike me as low-hanging fruit. And if they're doing that much 1-2 new unit kits also seems reasonable. But what plastic kits they do have for basic Ogors/Grots/artillery still hold up reasonably well. I don't think it's likely that any of them get removed, much less all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillagoreFaceslasha Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 It's telling I cannot find the source comment of that aosg """"rumour"""" in dakkadakka. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 With gutbusters I could see them doing a single plastic kit that has a lot of arm/pose/weapon/head options. Just look at how versatile many of the new greater demon kits are in how they let GW have multiple models from the same kit - add a bit more arm variety and such and they can really have gutbusters doing well with very few kits in plastic. I could certainly see it happening and would be a neat way to show off with their plastics whilst also making the army viable in plastic (since otherwise its a lot of single models in plastic - high cost low sales is not what you want for plastic). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the current Ogor range I really like that they've got that fat but strong look. Make them much fatter and it would just look like a bunch of obese guys waddling around. Edit: I do think an entire faction of monsters could be quite interesting. I just don't want Ogors to turn into GUOs that learned to bathe.

madmac Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Agreed, I'm a little wary also because frankly, I'm not a huge fan of the Butcher aesthetic and wouldn't want it to take over the faction. I like pretty much all the other Ogor models including Beastclaw but Butchers are...eh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
