RuneBrush Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 New rumour picture: Not a clue if I'm honest, you can see quite a bit of the 3d-print grain, which implies it's scaled up a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chikout Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I'm going to say Moonclan. Those pods at the bottom look like something you would find in a cave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stato Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 It looks like its painted and a black and white picture. The bottom of the pic is obviously base level as you can see scraps of basing material. Looks almost like a flower or exploding spore pod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greasygeek Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 With the release of the Warscryer Citadel i last month, does anyone know anything or have any thoughts on whether we will see re-releases of dreadstone Blight, Withfate Tor and the remaining similar sets? Lately they have been appearing repainted in videoes And White Dwarf magazines but nothing have been mentioned I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skabnoze Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I wonder if whenever they get around to Moonclan they will expand upon squigs. They have always been a popular unit and the most iconic thing for Moonclan and probably all of the Orcs & Goblins range. In Warhammer Online the Squig Herder class had a number of different types of squig pets. I always thought it would be neat if they brought some of those ideas onto the table-top with different types of Squigs. We already have different sizes of squig, and a ranged squig does exist with the Forgeworld Squig gobba, so it is not without precedent. There was a giant squig that you could ride (from inside) which is roughly equivalent to the great cave squig that the Warboss can ride. There was the standard squig - which seemed like the normal cave squig. There was a horned squig with a big rhino-horn that was a more offensive-natured melee squig. Then there were 2 ranged oriented squigs. One of them was spiky and could fire it's spines at the enemy. The other had weird fleshy spouts on it's back and it could fire big arcing blasts of slime. It would be pretty cool to see some more variety come into the squig units in the game. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the Cave Shaman accompanied by a special spore squig already and GWs current policy of focusing of armies unique features and giving everyone pets, I think it it is almost a given various kinds of squigs in large numbers will be a central part of a potential Moonclan release.

I hope so. Games Workshop has shown some seriously impressive creativity when it comes to both new armies for Age of Sigmar and also adapting older armies into this new setting. I absolutely love Orcs & Goblins, but Night Goblins are by far my favorite thing GW has created in any of their universes. While I love what is already there for Moonclan, I am really looking forward to seeing what GW can do with it. My hope is that they keep a lot of the flavor already in the faction and just expand further upon it - rather than doing a huge make-over. So, keep the basic hooded goblin that lives underground and hates the sun. The themes that I would like to see expanded upon are fungus cultivation/use and squigs. I would like to see more squigs and different types. In the past, the main place that fungus has fit into the faction is with Fanatics (who are all zonked out on Madcap Mushrooms) and the shaman who can eat dangerous mushrooms for extra spell power. I would like to see lunatics eating different types of dangerous fungus become more of a theme. It would be neat to see some sort of hero unit that collects & dispenses different fungus for use in poisons or as buffs to nearby units. Something that might functionally work a bit like a prayer or something - but be due to handing out mind-bending fungus that does different things to the unit that eats it (probably at the cost of d3 mortal wounds or something).

Swooper Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 (edited) It just occurred to me that 2020 is the Year of the Rat according to the Chinese zodiac. If GW don't do a big Skaven release that year I will be sorely disappointed... it would also fit right into the chaos god release schedule after Slaanesh!

Mandzak-Miniatures Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 It definitely looks like it could be flipped. Got some weird pod things, maybe some sort of squig. or who knows... maybe it just something to do with the new Magic stuff coming out soon. Some sort of spell-emental Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In David Guymer’s short story, The Sea Taketh, he describes a pretty awesome sounding “Spiderghast Grot” bodyguard that is stoned out of his mind on drugs. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hashut Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Hi everyone, long time lurker, first time poster. With the rumours of new stormcast coming, is there any news on an updated battletome? I’d like to get into AoS, but don’t want to purchase a book that I’ll have to replace in a couple of months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJetski Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 The current Stormcast battletome is a hot mess and it seems like rules team has pivoted their design after working on 40k for so long, so I think it's fair to assume there will be a new battletome with the upcoming release 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well a lot of people strongly believe that some of the Rumor Pics ( the Spikes, Rope, and smoke clouds) are a hint for a Moonclan release in the future. Not much on Skaven since a lot of people believe the next Chaos release is going to be Slaanesh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
