Snorri Nelriksson Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 (edited) It would be nice if those are a Moulder experiment with the fabric of the realm (Ulgu) like some sort of skaven that could become shadow or "ghosts" when needed. Maybe a joint effort between them and Eshin(like the previous Moulder\Skryre Stormfiends).

Enoby Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Not quite a rumour (but kind of is), but a while ago they said they wanted the new app so they could properly support Path to Glory. I don't believe there has been any P2G support yet, but this new book would provide a fantastic opportunity. Not only that, but if they could allow us to create and save our own heroes (with the option to add our own photos) using Destiny Points on the app then that would be fantastic. In fact, this is my number 1 want from the app. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love more stuff like that or something like a battleplan generator for open play/narrative/matched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I couldn't say - it may have been an interview, or potentially just hearsay at the beginning of 3rd. Regardless, I agree the app is currently wasted potential. It works fine, and that's good, but it could be so much more. They said that there are three ways to play, so it's a shame the app doesn't support two of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novakai Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 All I heard was that they acknowledge that the current app is not up to snuff and that they have someone new taking over and plan to overhaul at least the 40K one in May 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabotage! Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Kind of interesting that they teased what appear to be three bands for Underworlds in the previews (Witch Hunters, Umbraneth, and Skaven of some sort). I wonder if we would get three warband reveals? GW is usually really good about not putting any art out there of things they aren't going to reveal very shortly (or are already released/revealed). I know it's kind of a pipe dream and very unlikely, but with the cost of the Underworlds starter this season taking a pretty dramatic price hike and what I have heard was pretty poor sales, I wonder if they will change their release plan with Underworlds? Maybe take the price up to 125 USD and release a "season starter set" with four warbands and four game boards, and then just release card packs until the next cycle starts? It would give Warbands equal rotation time in the Championship format and allow them to market each starter as a multiple player game. I don't know, just throwing ideas around.

Noserenda Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Baiting us poor Eshin players and then releasing a crappy rat daemon range would be a really crapper, which kinda fits with this tease campaign though.

They could squat 3/4 of the range, dumb down the stats on the remainder, and then release a bunch of brand new models that you'll need to collect to remain competitive. Like my beloved Orks (or "Orruks", or whatever we re supposed to call them now), just dump all the older greenskinz and grot models and retain only a fraction of the Ork line. I do believe Skaven need some updated kits, but I'm betting those come at the cost of retiring slews of older stuff. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Klatz Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 That is a good point about albinos being important to Skaven. This could wind up a more “Ironjawz” release rather than “Kruleboyz” if it’s an elite white (possibly daemon) rat force that makes the elite the basics with a super elite on top(Megabosses & Brutes over ‘Ardboyz/Black Orruks). That would fit the smaller AoS schedule this year with hero and elite focused releases while also makin an opportunity for Belakor if he’s behind this by having an super albino army that can make the Skaven follow him since Grand Marshall Archaon and the chaos mortals are against his daemon-only supremacy plans. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kharadon are alright but FS are a continuing stain on all good Dawi. When it comes to Dawi, imagine the awesomeness we could get with create AoSified war machines and an implacable advance of a Dawi wall of upgraded Gromril armour. Flame cannons, organ guns, mechanised golems, and more. Sure, we can make some stuff work with CoS but it feels like discount Dawi. You really could take it to the next level in the AoS setting. KO got some of that but in terms of aesthetics I'm thinking more in the direction of Irondrakes, i.e. more brutalism and grounded like it would take a lot of force to shift them. One day, blessed be the ancestors, we'll get a proper book! 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can easily write it in that’s just an overall side effect from Skaven being constantly in contact with daemons, the chaos realm and even the warping reality of the Gnaw-holes and eggs would just a mutation evolution of all that. That said I’m still thinking this is a new sub-faction and possibly Belakor using the Shadow Daemon creators to create daemon rats. 5 minutes ago, CommissarRotke said: This makes the Witch Hunter companions being dogs even worse noooooooo...

But at least the Lexicanum guys will be happy “Dogs in AoS are rarer than horses. The lore has gryph-hounds, guardian god-hounds, supernatural cairn hounds, shadow hounds, clockwork hounds, wolves, venomous snarlfang wolves and dire wolves but never regular dogs anywhere.” That’s why there’s AoS articles on Cats and Horses but none on canines so this can open up that avenue too with what breed of dogs are in Ulgu.(of course they could be aforementioned Shadow Hounds too if those witch hunters are from Misthavn looking for what happened to the Stormcast-Errants) Edited April 14, 2022 by Baron Klatz 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
