Was just listening to Honest Wargamer and Rob seems pretty positive Autumn Destruction is Ogors vs Sons. Anyone know any collaborating that?

He guesses most of the time and probably gets a lot of insights from here. 

I'll take what he says with a big pinch of salt.

Its basically a 50/50 guess. Gitz and Ogors or Ogors and Sons.

EDIT. Im terrible at maths and realise it could also be Gitz and Sons.

At this point I can't fathom why GW wouldn't just announce who's getting a tome in the fall. It could only drive up sales for those two armies.

Maybe this weekend theyll announce them? Or wait till whatever event is at the start of August.

My guess is there will be another preview for AoS and 40k as it's all specialist games this weekend.

Isn't it the opposite? A lot of people hold off purchases because they're wary what they buy now might be useless in the new book.

So I just happened to re-read the Ogroid Theridons article from Warhammerfest, and realized they were once part of destruction, until they were betrayed and fell to chaos. Could this be the race that Kragnos was originally associated with? 

 

 

From https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/05/05/revealed-ogroid-theridons-prepare-to-charge-into-the-mortal-realms/

"Once possessed of a mighty empire that stretched across great swathes of Ghur, the ogroids – known to themselves as Goroans – fought alongside Gorkamorka’s hordes, seeking the Destruction of all that threatened their civilisation. Unfortunately, the Bonesplitterz aren’t the most reliable neighbours, and the Goroan empire fell to rampaging greenskins."

They look a little too... Bipedal to be associated with our lovely pony of destruction.

Best thing is, either of those options gets me hyped.

Kragnos is from the Drogrukh race that is now extinct. Ogroids have always been Destruction then Chaos in AOS lore.

100%. We win either way.

If it ends up being Gitz and Sons I'm gonna cry some bitter blubber boi tears.

Understandable mate. But if Mawtribes arent there that means there is a good chance of more than just one mini release. If Mawtribes is later with 1 mini then GW must really have a thing against Destruction!!

Ogors were nearly completely untouched with the GHB/battlescroll/errata, and gargants got a minor adjustment, because they're a bit of an oddball army, meanwhile Gitz got hefty buffs and changes (that while nice probably won't help much). 
Seems like circumstantial evidence that Gitz aren't getting a book as they generally don't give an army a big update like that if they know a book is coming.

I've reached the point with GW that I don't think they really have any long term plan, especially interdepartmental plans. Just a hodge-podge list of ideas each department is working on in their own time, and every now and then, some related items coincidentally get released near each other.

So does everything else in destruction, but we got the Big Pony anyhow. Beasts of Chaos players still cry themselves to sleep at night over that. 😜

Today there have been "leaks" about the CHAOS DAEMONS CODEX on DakkaDakka (one of last to come for 9th Edition). Do we think Daemons will get a sizable release model wise, or just one guy ?  

I remember the Big leak saying Daemons would get stuff, but not what exactly. That would point to a sizable release...

But if it's "just" a 1-Kit update, then it's probably not the new Daemon Prince (as it was marketed as coming with the StD Battletome).

We still have that rumor engine looking like a Nurgling hand on a bone pipe. And who is one of the oldest Character with a non-updated resin kit in the Daemons range ? The Nurgle Palanquin / Epidemius combo, of course ... People thinking of other options ? (Tzeentch Herald on disc comes to mind...) :P

Flamers and screamers could get an update I guess, they're the same sculpts from the 2000's they just converted the kit from metal to plastic (although I think both hold up well), and theres a whole whack of resin heroes.

The Khorne Juggernaut and Slaanesh Heralds might get new models since they're the only two without plastics, particularly if the CAD files for World Eater Juggernauts are done.

Tzeentch herald on disc & blue scribes are resin too.
In a potential daemon release they could also expand on "undivided" daemons a bit more, which would be an interesting direction. Furies already play in that space a little bit.
