Hopefully Warcry today and Necromunda tomorrow. Today, 8pm EDT. And that's the last one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that means we'll see Necromunda, Warcry and 40k (as I think the toys figures aren't GenCon labelled). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's the sword-wielding, presumably Black Templar, silhouette so presumably it's at least the Army Box contents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a zoom-in of the artpiece of the Stormcast and Kruelboyz fighting. With the underwater theme, I can't help but think of the Kvaldir from WoW. Could just be a statue though Don't think any of the other boxes have had any personnel on the front that wernt in the box? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just an artwork from the new article, it is not on the boxe itself as far as I can see. Maybe it's from a wider picture inside the new rulebook ? In the same artwork (in the right corner) a kind of Zombie arm sprouting from the ground... So a new SBGL warband with Necromancer and Zombies ?

This is my dream for Underworlds. A one Mancrusher Gargant Warband!! Updates the Mancrusher sculpt and gives the only Faction without a Warband room to play. I'd love for this to be true and a water themed Mancrusher with a beard is perfection. A Beastdrowner Gargant!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Templar_Lad Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 Hope there's some proper Lovecraftian lore with this Ulgu setting. Ulgu has been the most intriguing for me just because of how little we know and the potential for mystery. Probably the first Underworlds season I've been more interested in the backgrounds than the models. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandlemad Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 One of the only concrete things we know about Malerion is that he made the Gladiatorium for Sigmar, where stormcast-in-training can be seemingly killed and return unharmed, and which he can spy on constantly. Seems like creepy megastructures might be his jam and Harrowdeep, an undersea "forgotten dungeon where darkness reigns supreme" could be one of his early works, so to speak. Something like the Gladiatorium's ability to return fallen fighters to 'life' might be relevant here too, where illusions and misdirection take the place of Shadespire's weird mirror-reality duplications. Could fill the same broad background pseudo-justification for some of the rules. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snorri Nelriksson Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 (edited) Lovecraftian elements in warhammer are chaos,so non need for other things that will be only a lore problem imho. TBH Idoneth works as good as they are they just need new models, maybe just "downgrade" some Namarti making them more "sickly" if they want to capitalize on the "soul corruption part"(still considering the menial labor part it makes sense they're at least "physyically adequate" though). About Ulgu: it's the last realm left to at least "explore the basics" to some extent (ghur is being unfolded right now in deep) so i hope they'll at least speaks about his many inhabitants. I'd bet that Enshin will be there to be used in some nasty plotpoint,Slaaneshites will try to run rampant an even Lumineth perhaps will attack Malerion( and IIRC also Legion of Azgorh has some things down there).

A lot of the Josh Reynolds books went full Lovecraft with the dreaming god and other ancient gods beaten by sigmar.

Hey don't lose hope yet, warcry has generally stayed away from boring warbands. We could get the cthulu cultist elves vs ninja rats still.

More the merrier if you ask me It depends what "Lovecraftian" means. If is just the "fishmen" part is possible,even with more "fishy" Namarti Idoenth. If it is about the "unspeakable horror gods" part that niche are the big 4, and as @edmc78pointed out some things were mentioned by BL books but it's hard to justify when the chaos gods exists, anything that is below them is not unspeakable (more so when just squahed by Sigmar hammer or other pantheon god power).
