I do want gw to give them beta rules in next ghb to ease the wait though (kinda like they did with sisters in 40k). In fact, I hope gw uses next ghb to really boost allegiance abilities for ghb factions and bring them closer to newer factions in power level (still can't understand what insanity led them to nerf skyre and wanderers). Hiping up everyone for a big skavenrelease with the malign short story and the new white dwarf, to then only release a battletome for them. Nah Gw wouldn’t dare to do something like that. it would be a missed opportunity in squeezing every last drop of live out of our body’s (meaning money).

mmmbbb3 Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 I dunno if im the first to ask this, but do you think we might have some Darkoath/norse models soon? we got updates for all the other factions, who got those heroes in the start of malign portents, all but the darkoath, and we are also getting a new warband for warhammer underworlds with them. is it not pretty likely that we might get some more chaos vikings?

Yes imo they are definitely on the way. Destro, Slaanesh and Darkoath are the only safe 100% bets for this year imo (and probably some stormcast). Remember that GW has to do 40K as well. So after destro and slannesh it may be till fall/winter till we see more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearl Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 In regards to Slaanesh, they've confirmed more models are coming this year, and while Slaanesh's freedom will surely be a huge story arch, it doesn't necessarily need to be linked to the battletomb. Slaanesh's forces are still strong and causing trouble in the realms, even with their god missing. I can see them rolling out a couple more updated daemons and maybe a couple new sculpts with a battletomb sooner than later, while Slaanesh's escape might not be until 2020 and herald the arrival of the other aelfs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not convinced that Slaanesh needs to escape before they’ll get a tome. No one knows what impact the necroquake has had - Slaanesh might even be able to communicate with his/her followers now. Alternatively Slannesh could be syphoning off his/her own power into one or more of the pretenders (while still imprisoned and without teclis/Tyrion’s/Malerion knowledge. Also the 3 Slaanesh subfactions could be completely changed as Slaaneshs location becomes more common knowledge. The way I see it is, when you think about it, the Slaanesh faction could go in a number of directions outside of the whole Slannesh imprisoned or freed time lines.

wander Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 2017 was a quiet year with only 4 battletomes released, this past year we had 7 tomes out. 2019 is bringing us the Gitz, then we'll likely see Slaves + Darkoath + Everchosen soup. Slaanesh is overdue, though we had Wrath & Glory. I feel next after those three will be Malerion's shadow aelves as a tome, as there were some hints to them in a White Dwarf letters page a while back. I feel then the other tomes we'll get are Tyrion's aelves, Free People, Dispossessed (possibly a Duardin soup tome to update and make all the Dorf factions out viable) and Skaven soup with updated Pestilens in there. Not sure in what order, though those options seem mostly likely, not considering any new factions introduced (unless counting Malerion and Tyrion's aelf factions as them).

Overread Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 3 hours ago, JackStreicher said: The more staff you have the more projects you can run parallelly. Not only that but I think GW's internal management of projects has had a huge overhaul along with Forgeworlds. I think in the past they did run things side by side, but often had a lot of things that dominated. As a result something like a specialist game or a game that isn't selling that strongly or a faciton that wasn't as popular might well get put to the side for a while. That being put to the side could last and last and then suddenly they realise that no one is buying into that game/army/brand because they've not done anything with it for ages. GW right now I think realises that and realises that its daft for them to have to re-invest huge amounts of money in big relaunches of things. Having dedicated teams focused on specific aspects of their product line helps cut that out because now there is a dedicated person and team and time slot for each product line. FW is even getting this with having their own AoS team now established (and lets face it FW has a pitiful offering considering how old and long fantasy has been around). Another aspect is their major community outreach program which means that they can do articles and focus on a faction or game even without releasing anything at all. Reminding people it exists and introducing it to new gamers. Furthermore their new White Dwarf design I think is designed to feed into that directly by boosting the rules and alternate rules content of it; again allowing GW to release change and new things without releasing a product such as rule book. I think GW realises now that if they can maintain interest in multiple lines and maintain their own attention then gamers will react in kind. Gamers need their manufacturing company to "love" and support and pay attention to their own products. As soon as a company ignores a product - even a good one - it can start to bleed customers, bleed interest and dwindle in popularity. Gamers get worried that its going away or going to die and they jump ship to another thing (that might not be GW) that is getting attention. Part of this is the fact that it might take a gamer several years to build a full collected army - they don't want to think that after several year their army/collection is going to get squatted. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overread Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Yeah I'd wager Spiderfang drew the short straw in this round in possibly getting new sculpts - although the huge possible centipede model could be spiderfang related. It would be odd for GW to have put a huge amount of effort into all the other areas of the Goblins and not give Spiderfang even a nod. Still getting to take spiders without any riders would be a big change in itself, both visually and likely gameplay wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah turns out the thing that looked like a blurred out centipede is actually the Dankhold Troggoth. You can see it more clearly looking back at it now, the bit somebody missed out when circling it is the big statue hammer thing it carries.

I prefer the older sourbreathes to these new rockgut trolls. Btw it looks like the rockguts are a dual kit with dankhold troll. Looking at the art work with the 3 troll types, the rockgut is in the back but the middle one is purple and has the dankhold troggoth ears. Also out of all of them perviewed artifacts i prefer the mommet and prodder. The doll will help us deal with heavy units like treemen, temple guard, stormcast and other elite armoured units, and that prodder is hilarious!! Got a horde of 40 skellies blocking your way, point the prodder at them with 6 units of gobbos nearby and blast them to zog!!!

Ekrund Oath Splitters Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) Just from comparison wise, the middle troll has the same spikey rock like forearms like the rockguts we have seen and the same weapon, but the head is different (mainly the elephant ears of the dankhold) and the purple colouration which is different than the blue one. The size is simular as he is propped up on a rocky outcrop whislt the rockhut is further back. SO i really suspect the rockguts are a dual kit and the bigger dankhold troggoth we have seen is just a troggboss with weapon options like a giant kit.

I really love the new trolls (btw, I ❤️ Zbrush). So, If the Rockgutt Troggs and Dankhold Troggs share the same kit, that means that we can build 2 TroggBoss (the white one that we saw and the one in the Warhammer Community)? One being melee and the other being a caster? One can hope... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my assumption was that dankhold troggoths are large (they grow to whatever size their cave is) and that a unit of dankhold troggoths is 1 model. The dankhold kit can optionally make a trogg boss. If the rockgut kit also made dankhold, i think that would be disappointing, not enough differentiation there. 13 minutes ago, Fairbanks said: It dropped two names, Scuttleboss and Webspinner Shaman on Arachnarok Spider. I'm surprised we've seen no sign Scuttlings. They just renamed the big boss on spider and shaman on arachnarok. They confirmed yesterday that Scuttlings are not in the battletome, because they are out of production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
