Noserenda Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Id personally love to see those godawful early Stormcast redone to current standards, its essentially what every 40k box has done since forever after all to some extent so there is plenty of precedent, even the Primaris stuff is just replacing the hobbit marines somewhat obliquely. And obviously Skaven, Skaven really need a solid wave of stuff to pull the range out of the 90's (THE NINETIES) in places and a starter followed by the usual ETB etc etc would do a big step towards that. Though isnt the pattern leaning towards Order v Order for the 4th starter? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though isnt the pattern leaning towards Order v Order for the 4th starter? Yeah, although those rumours about possible resculpt liberators, means I will never finish the old ones I got with the first starterset. 🙂 For skaven I still have the ones that were in the Warhammer 8th edition starter box and I think another plastic set of clanrats. I even bought the metal sling upgrade pack. Imo, the skaven clanrats and stormvermin are still fantastic sculpts, same as a couple of characters. Hopefully the new clanrats will fit scale wise / aesthetic wise the current plastic clanrats / stormvermin. It's the eshin / plague / skryre part + rat ogres/ rats than need asap a huge upgrade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleser Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) Not sure if this was hint, maybe we will get human followers too, something like Gnarlspirit pack but for order side. Also it can just be more sylvaneths we know with maybe 1 multi kit and rules for army of renown like IJ pigs with Outcast keyword so Drycha amd Spites go alongside them.

silverstu Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 I'm honestly not expecting anything beyond a warcry set for Kurnothi and maybe Kurnoth himself. bUt wait and see, not sure anything for them will appear until the last book- the culmination of the rite of life.

Aeryenn Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Even a warband for Kurnothi will be much appreciated but I would buy full Kurnothi 2k points day one if GW releases it. Same goes for Dark Aelves. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Kharadrons, we are already buying 2k points of the same repeated 2 units to play with our awesome and non-broken Expedition Force: Grundstock gunhaulers and grundstock thunderers. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally think it's now or never for a Kurnoth return story wise. Makes sense that the rite of life can bring him back.

I wouldn't say now or never: future storylines could lead to their introduction in the lore. That said, now seems like a good time so fingers crossed.

Not many, but not few either. Fyreslayers still look like an army of clones. I own more than 2k points of Kharadrons and don't have any unit repeated more than twice. 2 Arkanaut Companies, 2 Thunders, 2 Endrinriggers and 2 Gunhaulers. Every other unit I own only in single copy. The problem starts when you are forced to take a unit more than two times and there's no really way around it. PS. I really enjoyed last Sylvaneth story and how Drycha treated her human "allies" 🙂 Edited September 23, 2023 by Aeryenn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have 2 thunderers and 2 gunhaulers, good look with 1400p of foot heroes then... I hope that Kurnothi don't become the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Templar_Lad Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) I've completely missed reading the likes and rumours around the next AoS starter box 😂 Oooo so potentially new sculpt SCE Vs Skaven?! That sounds exquisite. Oh maybe the Screaming Bell RE is a new Screaming Bell sculpt just for the box set? I thought it was weird at first because imo the Bell/Furnace kit is a beautiful sculpt that I didn't think needed prioritising over other older metal/plastic sculpts, but as a 'special edition' version for the box set, I could definitely see that. If the box set had new Rat Ogres and Jezzails, that would blow me out of the water. Edit: Nevermind 😂😂, I thought the Screaming Bell RE was unsolved, I think its one of the Gorger weapons.

Chikout Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 36 minutes ago, Aeryenn said: I'm not sure what do you mean? The KO army of renown only allows you to take two units and heroes. You pretty much have to take at least three units of thunderers or Gunhaulers. This is relevant to Kurnothi since the most likely way for them to be presented is as their own army of renown. Since Whitefang has let us know that Kurnothi is just anyone who worships Kurnoth, we could get a single new hero in charge of an army of Hunters. The dream is a larger kit, a cavalry kit, an infantry kit and a hero each with multiple builds like the big pig but unfortunately I do think that is in the realm of dreams for now. As for 4th edition, I'm very intrigued by the skaven side. The one thing I hope is that we don't get clanrats again. The old sculpts hold up decently well and a repeat of the 8th edition box would not be mind blowing. I love to see an Eshin themed box with a couple of units of runners and some all new stuff. On the Stormcast side I'm not sure what would get me excited. I currently have about 4000 points of which about 3000 are painted and I'm pretty happy with what I've got. I don't know what they could add, maybe some larger war machines and a new Prime as a centrepiece. That could be pretty cool. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleser Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) To be fair third book doesnt need to have armies of renown. First did have regiments instead. Maybe warbands of renown will be a thing in third 😂 Edited September 23, 2023 by Aleser 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EntMan Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) So please could someone remind me what hints @Whitefang has given about Sylvaneth/Kurnothi? They've stated that Kurnothi can be anyone who worships Kurnothi, not just Sylvaneth or Aelves. If I remember correctly they've said something is coming up for Sylvaneth. But have they said specifically it'll be Kurnothi? And if it's part of Dawnbringers? Edited September 23, 2023 by EntMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
