FlatTooth Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I wouldn’t be too surprised to see something with orruks since they’re putting them on bases and calling it out but I’d sure hate to see ironjawz and bonesplitters rolled into one. I like how they represent Gork and Mork. Wait I mean Mork and Gork 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurglesFirstChosen Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I agree that it’s highly likely that ironjaws and bonesplitters will receive similar treatment to Boc and be thrown in together. I also expect ogors n bcr to receive similar treatment. Moves of this kind make good business sense - it increases the demand of all units involved. Plus it resolves the tactical limitations to both sides of each faction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironjawz and Greenskins I can understand and is logical since Ardboyz are recruited from the toughest Greenskins, but Bonesplitters and Ironjawz are worlds apart from a philosophical perspective. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could say the same about spider riders and night goblins, or thunderscorn and beastmen. As we have seen, to say it doesn’t make sense lore wise doesn’t really mean that much because lore can develop and change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

novakai Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I feel if they where planning to merge them, they would have not phased out the regular Greenskinz since their soup tome are usually in a combo of three. for the Bonesplitterz rumor I remember their was a unsolved rumor engine that looked like a Bonesplitterz spear released quite a while ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toddy Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) There seems to be an awful lot of speculation that GW will merge factions who already have battletomes... Seems extremely unlikely to me, the only previous 'battletomed' faction to be merged is Pestilens. and I think the only did that is because it would have being too much effort in the short-term to bring it up-to-date as a full faction. While their model lines are a little small, bonesplitterz and ironjawz only need (and will likely receive) a bit of terrain and an endless spell. I fully believe that once all the current model lines have battletomes or are retired, GW will actually break up some of these soup-tomes (like legions of nagash and skaven) into full sub factions. They're only here to make the model lines playable in the meantime. Edited April 17, 2019 by Toddy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well from what O have seen, it looks like Gw is going to update all the army’s in a way they mentioned them just like I told the Army previews we got at the beginning of aos 2.0, meaning that beastclaw raiders, etc. Will be staying their own thing. But than again I could be wrong🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruhraffe Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 The Sylvaneth one could belong to a spite - the small magical critters swirling around the sylvaneth. So probably more of a flavorful decoration rather then a hint to the unit itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MitGas Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 The AoS -Orruk? one kinda reminds me of a scorpion. Could be some xenos for blackstone fortress, something slaaneshi or indeed some bit for Orruks, ogors or whatever... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiagoma Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 The "Chaos?" one look like a figure that would be on a warmachine/ship. Maybe something piratish from malerion army? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 It looks like the top of a staff or the decorative heads that sometimes appear on the sides of 40K Chaos sorcerers. Though its not quite as ornate as many chaos things are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Taloren Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Though with how similar that looks that could be pointing more confirmation to the idea that there is more Slaanesh models to be revealed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Honestly if there's more I'd be very (happily) surprised at this stage. When GW did Daugthers of Khaine the only thing they held back on was a full view of Morathi, otherwise they showed it all and they tend to show most of what they reveal in the video. Often leaving out photos and details of one or two things shown until later, but they all appear in the video itself. And they've done that this time too - they didn't show off photos of the terrain feature nor did then name or detail the twins and mirror model.

There was older stitched cloak rumour and that was the executioner. I have two guesses - it's either new Fabius Bile or some Drukhari named character (maybe Vect or new Urien Rakarth). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
