@novakai I'm both BUT snarlfangs have tipped my favor. 

Also gitmob only has one kit... so far.... 😎

Why would we see AoS figures on necromonday? T_T

No more models today.

I don't think its a case of saying we want regular goblins instead of night goblins. I personally like both. I'm keen for them to bring back regular goblins because they don't currently make them, and to be fair I have quite a lot of Night Goblins already.

I think Moonclan has a nice iconic design but i always liked the less goofy Gitmob and Spiderfang more. Hope they get more love during this edition.

My opinion is that, believe it or not, a lot of fans just want regular old grots (goblins) and not goofy shroom addled loons or mutated arachnid worshippers.

These fans would have to be well over 40 now to remember regular old grots. For me, the Night Goblins were the regular goblins - and that was in the late 90ties.

Do we know for sure that we're getting a Christmas Day reveal?

There's been no advent calendar, or any build up I'm aware of. And no specific mention or hype for it on WarCom unless I've missed something?

I'll be honest: I hope we don't get a Christmas Day reveal. the GW workers deserve that day off with their families. Maybe if it's just an automated post, but otherwise I think we're all fine waiting an extra day or so.

Not to disregard your feelings but they wouldnt be called "night" goblins if they didnt have a unique theme setting them apart from just "goblins".

It's always been a automated post, never a full preview show. 

[novakai]

Hence why the previous show was called the last preview show of the year.

However this year is a bit funky given there where leaks prior to December and lack of much marketing or advent calendar to know what will happen on Christmas Day. 

[Jetlife]

There's a good chance the advent calendar was supposed to be Slaves to Darkness. Maybe due to it getting leaked they just decided to do away with it.

No, no - these were already different groups at that time. It’s just that the “regular” goblin minis were so old that the newer Night Goblins were used as the basic troops for the goblin part of O&G. Were the regular goblins from the 80ties ever refreshed? I don’t think so.

Ah the wonderful Kev Adams Greenskins. 

I almost have every goblin sculpt for my 4th Ed Warhammer Orc & Goblin army.

Am I thinking of New Year's reveal then? I could've sworn there was a preview that pulled Adam and Eddie away from a holiday, thought it was Christmas.

Well the tome was dated I think either September or October 2022 so actually it was probably delayed and was suppose to have been released much earlier

I think there use to be a New year day opener event at Warhammer world but that was pre covid

@Flippy

Whooooaa, blast from yhe past!😀

Do these two count as the updated kits you're asking about?

[Nezzhil]

It seams that Gitz are coming very soon.

Mangler & Start Collecting are the new kits on the repacking/pre-Vanguard state

I’ve never seen the second one - they sure look like regular goblins.

[Vasshpit]

@Flippy

It was still around when AoS launched. it was part of the initial gitmob rebranding. 

Thos two had some serious character in the face sculpts that to this day, imo, is hard to match. 

Props to the artist. ✊

They were released with the 6ed army book. The Night Goblins kit was released a year before with the Orc kit.

That explains a lot; I’ve dropped from WHFB during the 6ed. Thanks!

I think it is weird that they release new wolf riders ( which were discontinued few years ago together with all git mobs) instead of a resculpt of a scuttleboss or loonboss with great cave squig or a mad cap Shaman. 

We don't quite know what the new book will look like, but they could squat both the madcap and loonboss with great cave squig and they wouldn't really be big losses.
The fungoid is basically an updated madcap anyways, and the loonboss with squig is just a holdover because of skragrott. just the loonboss on cave squig, & loonboss on foot is probably enough.

Would be a shame to not get an updated scuttleboss, although I think it would be better in a kit like the pusgoyle blightlords or dracothian guard where you can also build a unit out of it. Spiderfang could use the extra unit.

I'm all on the wolf train though, I'm really hoping there's a hero and another 1-3 kits to build a full force out of them.

[novakai]

I mean I hope they’re at least a brand new hero that comes out with the Snarlfang. 
 

and this is not the one time GW decides to become inconsistent with how they release stuff.

Fans: can we get more units for some of these book release, why is it always foot heroes?

GW: sure thing Fam, monkey paw curls you get the new unit instead of the hero model.

[Vasshpit]

Just a thought but what if the kit allows for a 5 man unit of snarlfang but can also build Rippas 3 man pack and enough bits to build two gitmob shaman heroes on snarlfang. THAT would be an excellent kit!💪
