MarkK Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I think it's part of a new AoS Warhammer Quest with a vampire/zombie theme, although that may be my own wishful thinking! An AoS castlevania would leave my credit card red hot with the speed it would leave the wallet at! Whatever it is, whether it's a new AoS army or Warhammer Quest, it could be with us in the next few weeks, hopefully before Christmas 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitzrael Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Do you think this blurry photo can be a tease for a whole new, new year army? Gloomspite Gitz were also released at the beginning of 2019, or I messed something up? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverstu Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Yeah looks like a zombie lurching forward with wood/tree roots on its back... interesting.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hawkins Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Definitely looks like a zombie that had a tree growing overtop of it, and when it resurrected out of the ground, the tree is now "part" of it, with roots or branches entangled/ growing through it. The crow on the back is not the same crow with the key from the rumor engine, but likely part of the same range. And the post on the zombie's back looks like a church candle holder. The trees in the background look like they could have crows (or maybe vultures; remember the vulture from the rumor engine?) in the branches. There looks like there could be a large bird wing in one tree. That could be a new scenery piece, or maybe animated trees? (That might be too Sylvaneth-y). Likely crows, carrion birds, and cobbled-together "Blanchitsu" zombies will be a unifying theme. Not vampire pirates. One final thought: Does GW ever portray Johann running from Underworlds/ Warcry warbands? He's usually shown with "proper" AoS models, right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the existing rose and vine motifs a lot of death models have I wouldn't be surprised if we get our "AoS-ified" zombie army that's undead controlled and stitched together with cursed plants. Nagash loves his cruel irony and with OBR being a twisted mirror of stormcast, plant-zombies would be a great way to mock Alariel and the sylvaneth. Oh please let this be the case. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novakai Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 oh so instead of Plants vs Zombie, Nagash just merge the two into some monstrosity, i can actually see that happening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackStreicher Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Pretty sure it‘s Deadwalkers. This one was hanged or nailed to a tree, which he is still attached to. Considering all the Rumor Engine images it‘s truly going to be Soulblight + Deadwalkers 😍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chikout Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 The thing on it’s back looks like a cuckoo clock. I must admit, as a silhouette it doesn’t do anything for me. It doesn’t look particularly menacing. I’m sure it will look better when we get the full picture. My personal hope is for a death themed warhammer quest.

Ogregut Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 I remembered tonight an old, old, old rumour of a new zombie kit but the zombies weren't just reanimated dead but more constructs made of body parts, trees, coffins and such. Seems to fit the bill. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conceptually that idea makes me think of old Playmates TMNT figures: being a strange blend of body horror and also clever fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The time between the “Pointy Aelves” video and the time they released the first video of the Lumineth was probably the most fun time I had on this forum. Everyone was just happily speculating away about their new dream High Elves. So much excitement. And then we lost 20%, and another bunch turning really negative. And then ... we got the Alarith ... It’s still better of course to get an army that you want, but you have to be lucky like KingBrodd and me that you actually like the outcome. I hope they’ll do something with traditional dwarfs that must of you actually like. I think Gloomspite fans got pretty lucky as well (or at least I feel lucky). They are basically the Night Goblins and Trolls from WHFB but pumped up to an even more cartoonish level of tomfoolery (which I love). They lost some seriousness (less torture for cruel fun, more trying to steal bottles from chaos worshippers) which some people I know don't like, but I love it. The new Dankholds and Boingrots were things I never knew I wanted but now couldn't see them without. I love my big derpy purple boys. I know some people who were pretty mad normal goblins got squatted and the night goblins stayed around instead, but honestly I didn't care for the normal goblins (except for the Doomdiver and Pumpwagon). I like the goofy shenanigans of the hooded loons. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black library authors have “poetic license”, basically they can add anything they want, does not mean GW will make miniatures out of it.

King Under the Mountain Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 I'm pretty sure with how GW set up the Mortal Realms, as vast worlds with all kinds of crazy magic, its hard to say a novel is "not canon". If anything seems strange then the "norm" just chalk it up to being near the edge of the realm where things start getting messed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alghero81 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 (edited) Well maybe canon is not the right word if you consider the literally English meaning “a collection of books recognised as genuine”. Surely it’s official, but I meant to say is that we can’t grasp any info of new army from a BL novel, we have better chances from the GW tomes. In Reynolds novel he described really well the Sacrosant chamber and the Nighthaunt plus the relationship between the different mortarchs and in one piece he described an army of Sylvaneth working for Nagash. The Antagonist of the book however never got a miniature or model to represent him. To have a dread wood type of army would be wonderful but give me a LoN expansion with zombies and vampires all day before that.
