The Rumour Thread


Recommended Posts

I am so curious about the Horus Heresy release as it has seemed like the focus of every single event and then we are met by radio silence. I wonder if they are retooling the box in some way?

There is a new HH article today but it still just feels so odd that when people notice a model in a Tyranid preview or we get a potato cam Kangaroo Elf they go into immediate damage control and do a press release. I don't doubt it is coming I am just curious if there is a bigger reason for the lack of official release information. Finally I wonder if these reasons are impacting any releases on our end like AOS, Underworlds, Quest or Warcry?

As for my expectations for Adepticon, they are pretty low at this point. I feel this year is 40k focused with AOS mostly churning out tomes.

Maybe it because 40K and AoS are mainline game so when potato cam happens they get an article to address but since HH is smaller and their release are infrequent they may not feel the need to address it.

Or it could have been that the two example where of model that where going to be release in the coming months but the HH leak happen way to early that they didn’t want to address it until they did a full official reveal.

If anything is affecting AoS release it definitely has to do more with 40K being behind and had more pending release then just HH. I actually would have been more hopeful for Adepticon with AoS if CSM where released already and Knights and maybe Guard where the only thing left for 40K for this half.

This is kind of what happened with Indomitus. There was a potato cam photo that had a whole mess of the Ultra Marine and Blood Angel Primaris Marines that were released with that wave (Gladiator, Storm Speeder, Outriders and Eradicators all being things I remember being in it) and they were just completely radio silent on it despite other leaks being revealed at the time. I suspect this is something similar, because it ties into a major release they want to acknowledge it properly.

 

Adepticon I expect we'll see some of the upcoming Chaos stuff for 40K, Ash Wastes for Necromunda, a new Blood Bowl team, the zombie Underworlds warband, a tease of the summer battle tomes for AoS and Heresy teased or possibly unveiled.

Chaos Dwarfs!  OK, I'm being hopeful there 😂  Could see confirmation of the next GHb with a bit more on the upcoming battletomes and associated armies.  More combat patrol style boxes would be on my "highly likely" list.

Really hoping those Summer Tomes are revealed so we can discover if it really is Skaven and Sylvaneth!!

Limiting myself to models here, but I am going to guess:

  • Underworlds zombie warband
  • First Cursed City expansion
  • Something out of left field for main-line AoS?

I don't know what AoS proper could get, to be honest. We know the contents of the DoK vs. Nighthaunt box already. It is possible that there are more new Nighthaunt and DoK models coming though. In the case of Nighthaunt we have a bunch of rumour engines that could be pointing that way, and in the case of DoK it would help justify their new book a bit more.

Underworlds Warband seems to be the only sure thing at the moment for AOS. The Cursed City expansion is something I havent thought of so that's an exciting prospect!!

We’re probably also going to see stuff for Kill Team, and the rumored upcoming Guard Codex.
 

If we do see anything relating to Guardsmen, it will probably be Kasrkins for Kill Team, or  Death Riders.

I expect something for Warcry too, I think this is year for next edition if they follow their game pattern. Could be in new setting aswell.

If it is happening I wouldn’t expect it until around Fall like Killteam from last year, So I wouldn’t expect it to be announce this early at Adepticon (maybe when Warhammer fest happens)

If we do indeed get another Edition of Warcry this year I really hope we start seeing more Non-Chaos Warbands like the Khainite Shadowstalkers. I want a boxed set of 6 Ogor Maneaters!!

UK announced a couple of days ago that it's sanctions on Russia would include luxury goods, so it's probably a decision motivated more by the bean counters than anything else. 

When you think about it, this hobby is pretty expensive, so maybe it's kind of a luxury?

Any recent rumors about Kurnothi?

One week till Adepticon!! Hedge your bets on what we may see unveiled!!

Glad you asked! Kharadrons Overlords wave 2:

  • Presentation of the new Kharadron Book with:
    • Updated Battle Traits to reflect the ongoing story: 2d conference of Madralta and the Duardrazhal.
    • New Battle Trait: Uncharted Companies (unlocked by a Trade-Commodore).
    • Footnotes as new enhancements (Like Holy-Orders).
    • Skyports with 1 Artycle (changing the way that you can build a list, like new battlelines or coalition units) and 1 Amendment (good ol'ability).
  • 2 new units (double-kit): offensive melee arkanauts (Copperheads) and defensive melee arkanauts (Geldraad Defenders) with bodyguard and aether-shields!
  • New unit: Cogmunculus (promoted from being an artefact!). Chaff-like unit that can be summoned or ressurected by aether-gold.
    Spoiler

    Cogmunculus.jpg.42962f4263803ba7653198dd5e9e0904.jpg

  • New named character: Imoda Barrasdotrr. Master Navigator with a ranged punch!!
  • 2 new generic Heroes: Grundstock Marshal that unlocks Grundstock Thunderers and gunhaulers as battleline for all skyports (thematic Grundstock-mercenary army force!!) and Trade-Commodore that unlocks a new Battletrait: Uncharted Company.
  • New medium double-kit (ship): Makaisson-hauler (good transport with powerful low-range weapons) and Sky-trawler (mining skyvessel with good melee dmg).
  • New 120€ kit: (tamed) HARKRAKEN. Yep, a Monster!!!

Too bad the next White Dwarf rules are going to be obsolete in 2-3 months, but it is what it is. I'm still going to buy the next White Dwarf.
