The Rumour Thread


Recommended Posts

826 is good sample size but bare in mind the honest wargamer stats now have over 2519 players covered and 3800 armies being used at a 5 person event. So whilst that is purely competitive players it’s a much larger data set than the goonhammer one for aos. The goonhammer survey is 826 players only 17 percent of which played 13 games in the last 12 months ie 140 tournament players vs the 2519 on the hwg stats

They haven't been the most reliable (see cursed city), but the Warhammer Community team should know about what the Warhammer Community will say.

I often see people say, WarCom isn't reliable or they get things wrong all the time and it isn't true. 

Yes, mistakes do get made and there has been condridictions, like cursed city, but they put out multiple articles each and everyday without issue or mistakes.

It was specifically about the communications team on eg Facebook. I don't think they are informed well.

Some interesting data from Goonhammer.

Take it with a large grain of salt, since their readers obviously skew into the competitive. Off the top of my head though, nothing seems too out of place beyond the surprisingly low placement of Lumineth, given they seem very popular both casually and competitive in my experience. 

Sauce.

I'm not suprised about Lumineth being rather low, if this forum somewhat resembles the poll sample. Stormcast Eternals and Soulblight Gravelords seem to have significantly more active subforums than Lumineth or Daughters of Khaine.

Dramatic situation of Fyreslayers. You know what they need to become more popular? A hero on foot model!

I've noticed that if you browse the IDK range on Alchemist Workshop, the Eidolon of Mathalan and the Isharann Soulscryer are already showing their redesigned box.

Hopefully it's a sign that the Bt is going to be on pre order soon 🤞

So, when today can we expect the TOW update? Does WarCom update at a specific time?

I hope we get info about Kislev and Cathay miniatures. Or those old Kislev figures as made to order!

Just dropped, but it mostly maps and lore about cathay in the world.

And confirmation that Cathay is coming to the tabletop in The Old World. 

Though this nation’s first full appearance in the world of Warhammer can be seen in the just-released Total War: Warhammer III, Cathay will also be coming to the tabletop in the upcoming Warhammer: The Old World.

Puts an nail in the coffin of the 'rumours' saying they aren't being done.

"Cathay has been ruled by a race of immortal shape-shifting dragons for thousands of years, and it’s not a place that changes much, so this map is just as valid for the era in which Total War: Warhammer III is set as it is during the earlier period that will be explored by Warhammer: The Old World. Rest assured, scholars of Warhammer, this map works in both settings, so get studying!"

Seems to confirm Cathay is coming to TOW! Woohoo!!

Also fun note: Hobgoblin Khanates namedropped again! I wouldn't expect them to be their own faction but fun to see them mentioned. Wonder if we'll ever hear about infernal dwarves...

If I was a betting man, I'd say Eldar after black library then idk and Fyreslayers in march followed by more Eldar and then Killteam.

That would take us up to Adepticon where gw will switch focus to 40k  Chaos and maybe a new model or two for AoS. 

I just so happen to be off the exact days of Adepticon so I'm really hoping for something AOS!!

Oh, there's the sea in the background. Though I liked the clean white of 2nd edition, I do kind of of dig faction-specific box backgrounds.
