Just how it sets up a sub-realm of floating continent “planets” via exploding turtle god-beast sucking up all the oceans into a void is worth it for how AoS does such a great job at world building these bizarre realmscapes. On rumor notes I wonder if this unsolved rumor engine could help Grotbags case any. oh that's got a checkerboard pattern on it, that's an original O&G throwback yea? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, IF Grotbag scuttlers ever happen in this edition i would just assume they be a part of Gloomspite (despite the lore saying Gloomspite and Grotbag are separate tribes) only because of GW and how Kruleboyz was sort of part of Warclans despite being unique enough to be their own army. but if they are a seperate army i do hope Gitz get their battletome first just for the sake of their community lol. They could make a book with grotbag & gitmob. Gitmob basically worship the sun which is about as far from moonclan as you can get. Then they can throw little waaagh!!! in the book too. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DinoJon Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 (edited) Just re-read the section with Blackheart in Arkanauts Oath. Blackheart's ship is as massive SD described before and held aloft with a giant inflated squig. It's also pulled by 2 mawkrushas for a short bit for extra speed.. The important thing to note is that the flying grots aren't called doom-divers anymore. They were called "Wing Boyz" and were used to board the ship. @Beliman covered most of what I said so please give him all the props Edited October 18, 2022 by DinoJon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingboyz would make sense if today’s rumor engine is for them. That could be a tail to allow them to actually control themselves and land “safely” compared to Doom divers whose whole thing was to be launched in a general direction while high on shrooms and break their neck impaling someone. Could justify why they and the mushroom mad Gloomspite are seperate if the Grotbags are relatively more sober and sane. Squig zeppelins sound exactly what kitbashers have been hoping for. It may take 10 or 20 years but one day… we’ll have these boys facing down Deepkin whales and Leviadons in the Aether high above. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something that isn't the standard orcs/gobbos/giants/ogres/etc that we've had for decades. Every grand allegiance has had one or more entirely new species except for Destruction. And Kruelboyz don't count, they're just orcs again. There's so much creative opportunity here, whether they're the titular "Silent People" or not. Absolutely we need something not Green or Big Ladish. Give me a Faction of just Were People.

Gitmob worships the Evil Sun, a staple symbol from old O&G and greenskins even in 40k...it would be a nice "contrast" on the gloomspite\bad moon iconography(maybe even using a similar rule as the Bad Moon influence). The term "Wing boyz" seems TOO SPECIFIC imho to be a coincidence..... Edited October 18, 2022 by Snorri Nelriksson 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Klatz Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 I saw that yesterday but been too busy posting the Real Rough riders on my discords instead. That aside, the Hexbane Cavalier looks ace. the baggage actually matches up with how much stuff the Ven Densts are packing since the new Militarum aesthetic is they got lots of equipment to show they’re working deep in enemy territory on any planet at a moment’s notice. Hopefully Dawners get the same treatment with lots of bags and backpacks to show they’re traveling across the mega-continents of the Realms and having to supply, camp and fight in all kinds of hostile & eldritch locations far from the Innerlands. Wouldn’t mind the duardin’s wagon-pulling Dobkine in that vein for the Ironweld units artillery. ”Dobkine are a variety of bovine that are covered in chitinous armor. The duardin of Clan Halgrimm use then as beasts of burden, pulling large carts and wagons laden with war gear and supplies, as well as their field artillery. They are squat, bovid creatures with chitinous armor and long antennae.“ 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have got £5000 bonuses for the last three years so it's not all bad. I like the work that Mathew Rose and Sam Pearson have been doing recently. I hope they pay them enough to keep them around.
