My first thought was FEC, just because of the 'sharp things threaded through skin cloak' aesthetic that isn't dissimilar to Nightmare Quest. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I do believe, should skaven be the next big bad guys getting their update via the start of aos 4.0, that their whole range would get a refresh (so basically everything that is in dire need of a refresh) but I could see either clan eshin or clan moulder being part of the starter set depending into what realm we’ll be dipping our toes into in aos 4.0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as AOS is "out of the box" they are missing the weird race in the setting. Sure, pirate dwarves, personified lizards, hungry overweight beefcakes, swamp orcs and the collection of elemental worshiping aelves are wild I truly believe they lack the weird unique creature species.... Skaven and beastmen kind of fit that role, but don't play aesthetically on the same level as the rest of the AOS model-verse. I'm hoping Flesh Eater takes a bit more of a dive into that space soon, but silent people could be what the range is missing. Even chaos dwarves and Malerion aelves aren't truly that wild and crazy of a concept. Give us something wild and different. I don't know other peoples opinion, but personally Kruleboys missed the mark. The theme of lurking in the swamp and riding all these different weird creatures is awesome, but how much better would the range be if it wasn't just orcs? Could have been Kroot and I think the appeal would be way different and new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one thing to make brand new Seraphon kits and sell them alongside 15 year old skinks: they don't hold up but at least they are plastic and not truly awful. It's quite another to launch a big range refresh and then sell it alongside some metal and resin sculpts that were made when I was still in single digits. That means a big refresh has to be a BIG refresh, so it needs a big slot too. I am going for the 4th edition starter set, but we'll see I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EccentricCircle Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I won't begrudge the 40K folks a rumour engine if it does herald a Kroot update. They are basically the patron saints of small factions which really need fleshing out to achieve their true potential. By all accounts they were originally designed as an independant army, but basically souped with the Tau before they even came out, and have waited for new exciting models, or plastic updates to their resin and metal for longer than AoS has existed. We grumble about Fyreslayers being undersupported, but they don't have anything on the Kroot! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

novakai Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) Considering they did Kruleboyz in 3rd, I sort of expect them to do something out of left field for 4th and the choice not being the obvious pick (Skaven) speak of Kruleboyz their model release didn’t feel complete at launch and that it was missing unit options and foot heroes ( maybe it comming during the dawnbringer books who knows) and puting them in the Orruk warclans book also didn’t help. (They should have just gotten their own book tbh) Edited June 6, 2023 by novakai 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're popular, they're iconically Warhammer, they're arguably on the easier side to paint (Warriors anyway, not Chosen) and Good Guy Paladins vs Evil Dark Knights is a very marketable image to slap on the cover and box art. Even though many people want Skaven and a 4.0 Posterboy Status would be a great chance to update their ancient model line, I still think they'd be seen as left-field from GW. In my experience people tend to like Skaven, but that rarely translates into people actually collecting them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neverchosen Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I think that after all the refreshes that Slaves to Darkness is sitting pretty. Order vs Order would be cool but I also don't imagine that GW will go that route. I also think the Monogod Armies are in decent places in terms of up to date models. This leaves Beasts and Skaven. I feel like Beasts hit a few too many of the same notes as Kruel Boyz and Skaven are Iconic and have broader exposure while needing to update their line. In other words they are in a similar space to Tyranids. Personally I would much rather something awesome and left of field like Gloomspite vs. Fyreslayers... but I just feel like they have been slowly introducing new skaven sculpts in Underworlds and building towards a larger release. I am happy to be wrong, but it makes me wonder when the Skaven update would/could happen. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snorri Nelriksson Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) What if the 4th edition starter will see a new "subfaction" of a preexisting army like Kruleboyz? The only thing i could see are kurnothi though for Sylvaneth...(Malerion and Chorfs technically have their own forces i'd say).
