Tbh if they really are going to take the Combat patrol route with Spearhead then having them come out as Slaves to Darkness Spearhead would be pretty great. Imagine something along the lines of the IJ refresh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found where BoC faction identity went. I'm happy for people who wanted Darkoath but to see my army get deleted to make room for the same thing but human just to allow for a more relatable antagonist is... not a great feeling. Nothing has been confirmed so far. I doubt this would be the replacement. Also, as someone said, the warband has been published as S2D. So don't lose your faith. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackStreicher Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 (edited) Consolidate all the Warcry Warbands into Darkoath Cultists. Remove the Slaughter Brute and the Mutalith Vortex Beast, Marauders (infantry & Cavalry) Add the Darkoath to S2D.

It is a missed opportunity by GW, I can understand that they eliminate some units and release more monodio units due to copyright. But removing an entire army... they should have done that when they removed Khemri and Bretonnia. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lost Sigmarite Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Darkoath are listed as StD on the official FB pages. Guess that answers the questions. 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragest Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 I just said that a darkoath book has been rumored from years because they were talking about taking off cultists from the book, not that those new minis are going to a new book. Sometimes you overreact a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kroot have been gorgeous too and a lovely addition to 40k and they style all over that banana hat. It just seems that the space marines and space marine adjacent factions have fallen victim to their own success a little bit. Too popular so GW knows that the models will sell no matter what. Space Marines and Custodes can be cool. It's just that this new Custo model looks like a 2016 Stormcast, and we're in 2024. Major L for the 40k studio. I really do hope they don't fumble it as badly when the inevitable Henry Cavill Custodes mini drops. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep hearing that at LVO GW directly said the rumours of Beasts being squatted was incorrect. I don't know if it was on stream or in person. Either way, would be pretty cynical even for GW to lie about that just so they can keep selling models before 4th Ed. Who knows though?

The Lost Sigmarite Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 GW will react anytime soon to that big leak... right ? Right ? Their radio silence is a bit off putting. Maybe they pretend that if they ignore the leak it'll go away ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First- 8 is the perfect number for Chaos thematically speaking and it’s not like everything is evenly distributed as is (See S2D having over 50 options while the Fyreslayers haven’t had much love since pre-COVID and have 19 units and the Bonereapers only have 20 units (4 of which aren’t even from AoS) while the Idoneth and Kharadron don’t even have that. Second, Order has 9 already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Arthur Hotep Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 2 hours ago, Ejecutor said: Also, it is curious how the Darkoaths from Hammer and Bolter mirror the new minis, but their counterpart from the CoS (that also appears in the same episode) is using the old imperial style. Just realised that in the Darkoath minis teaser they are representing that battle but now with the new CoS minis. Just waiting for a Cogfort mini so that we can really recreate that episode on the tabletop! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this particular one is going to be radio silent, as I am pretty confident this was supposed to be part of the Adepticon announcement. If they show it earlier, Adepticon would be quite empty, and they cannot show more 4th ed stuff as it would mess up the 4th exclusive preview. So it is an odd situation. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we get to see upcoming things early but the creatives and all the planning that went into that get done over. The models look awesome and I agree the Chieftain on horseback reminds me of the harbinger of decay/mounted CoS marshal. With the Darkoath models that are already available it looks like a really good release. The Custodes though... not good, awkward and badly proportioned.. But generally GW are making some cracking models time after time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of them being in TOW is what makes me believe this. They could have put Blightkings or the CoS buff wagons in there, but they chose not to. At the same time, those units are strongly ingrained into AoS world building (Luminarks defeating Nagash, for example). 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's either Khorne or Tzeentch, but not both. And since Khul appears in the narrative beyond the short stories... I sadly don't see it for bird man. (I too would have liked a Tzeentch hero). If there was one more faction it would've been awesome because it meant13 factions would have been part of the narrative - 13 is the number of the Horned Rat = Skaven totally confirmed for 4th yes-yes !
