KingBrodd Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 3 hours ago, Clan's Cynic said: What's weird is Fyreslayers received a special character in the form of Bael-Grimnir via White Dwarf. It was a Prince Vhordrai situation where they just handwaved away the existing Runefather On Magmadroth as him, but it's funny how he didn't make the cut into the new Battletome but Vhordrai did. I really hope 4th Edition is the Crusades into Ulgu to discover its murky secrets and I really hope its Duardin leading the charge. Update Kharadron with a new troop type and Ship, give Fyreslayers 5 new kits, 3 troops a Monster and a Warmachine and have them be leading the charge into Ulgu. Whilst there we get Malerions Aelves and discover a whole host of Dispossessed that survived the Age of Chaos and thus uttering in a new age of Reclaimer Duardin!! 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything that is played is plastic outside of Salamanders and Kroxigor… which is coming at some point. The rest of their sculpts look decent enough to continue with. Skaven, Beasts and Ogres need a decent over work in my opinion. Skaven has a lot of decent stuff, but at same time a lot of old metal or resin. I think they could get an honest legit update with only a handful kits and be good for foreseeable future. Beasts to me needs a complete overhaul. Similar to how they did Soulblight. New models everywhere. Ogres is a weird one. Their aesthetic is just overweight human. Nothing about their look screams man eating ogre. However I can’t see them doing a complete overhaul when a majority of their line is already in plastic. I assume they will just update some of the kits over time. Flesh eater just needs some beautifully sculpted heroes. Named ones at that. I know I heard a rumbling of a ushoran model. Two of the rumored pictures might be him sitting on a throne. The rest from a gameplay prospective have enough. The sad part is, it’s impossible to get that much variety on the table as far as units anyways and you will never get every model from a faction into most games. From a collectors viewpoint then bring on waves to collect!!! **Exception to the rule might be Fyreslayers. But I think that is more we just want to see some unit variance. Everything looks exactly that same. Tapping into some volcano creatures could help stir the straw in that drink again…. I really disagree about Seraphon. Their Saurus Knights look prehistoric in the wrong way, chameleons and salamanders not so different. I also disagree for factions like Kharadron, which have so much design space unexplored, both in game and models. I don't count a single usable infantry hero per edition, I mean real kits. Skaven kan keep some models, but most should be updated. FEC also have some kits that aren't ugly as sin, but need much work. And a plastic Mournghul. Beasts need a lot of work, we agree there. With things like the Ogroid Thaumaturge, new Tsaangors and Underworld team, they have shown they can design them, so that gives hope. I get what you mean about ogres, but I kinda like these. I use the Blood Bowl ones to harass my d&d players. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gitzdee Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 My new hope for the end of this edition is a Troggoth picking up Azhags crown for 3 reasons. 1. Get a new king for the Troggoths. Throgg is probably not getting back and if he did wont be part of Gitz. 2. Resurrect Azhags spirit into AoS as his crown is literally put into the Temple of Sigmar for safe keeping. 3. Get a Wizard into the Troggoths subfaction. Now i'll go find a wishing well. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Brotherhood of Necros Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Was Azhag’s crown not Nagash’s crown? It’s a while since I last read that lore so I might be wrong! I’m so excited to see the new Warcry warbands and like many here, I’m hoping they’re not all Chaos cultist types again… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, sigmar wore it for a while and it started corrupting him until he resisted and eventually defeated nagash. Later it would be found and worn by Azhag the Slaughter which gave him necromatic magic in the game, along with Stupidity as the crown whispered in his ear.

Forgot about the Stupidity thing but that makes it even more perfect for Troggoths who are stupid to begin with and used to have the same rule. Might have to just convert a Dankhold with a crown and give it an arcane tome just because i can now. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im hoping for a few Destruction Warbands and am personally hoping they arent Kruelboyz. I want Ogor Maneaters or Troggoths. If it is a Warclans Warband make them Bonesplitterz!! 33 minutes ago, Gitzdee said: Forgot about the Stupidity thing but that makes it even more perfect for Troggoths who are stupid to begin with and used to have the same rule.

CommissarRotke Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Man that "Ven Talax's Path" better be Seraphon for a setting involving a crashed Temple Ship... I see CoS/Stormcast camp, moonclan, spiderfang, ogors, warclans, and Soulblight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DinoJon Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Excuse me.... AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH that is so cool and if we ever get terrain like that I would have my mind blown. It's more intact than I thought it would be so hopefully that increases the odds of new Seraphon! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to reveal a model or anything, just tell us what we can look forward to ind the future. So we have the chaos undivied (?) in the HoH Nurgle in the nasty stinkmen. Soulblight in Dreadfang.

Captaniser Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 We know that a big chaos centaur, whom is not a relative of Kragnos either or the BoC, will come as a big monster for this edition, i wonder what other monsters will come aswell. Last time we had 3 and a box of smaller critters, hope we get that again, but this time i want them to be more faction agnostic than just pure chaos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though its less likely, I hope its Seraphon in Ven Talax. The Icon doesn't scream Seraphon but with GW a skull could be anything.

GenericEdgyName Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 I think the chaos undivided icon could be the Hashut warband, if only because nothing else fits them. And the skull at Ven Talax's path does look seraphon-y to me (although I consume vast amounts of copium, mind you) because of those rounded spiky bits 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chikout Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 The number of previews makes me think that we are going to see warcry go up for pre-order very soon. I'm definitely intrigued by that map of factions. I hope it's a tease of new warbands and not just- "look you can take all these pre-existing factions". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of their iconography is a skull/helmet with lots of those tiny spikes around it. Plus it would fit with them being so close to the CoS/Dawnbringer position which is also a skull. That, and the posterboys going without a bespoke warband would be a bit odd. Ossiarchs usually use beetles, vaguely Egyptian shapes or the Centurion-esq helmet crest.
