VBS Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I hope they don't give any more chaos god specific afiliations to monsters. Doesn't make sense to have nurgle for jabberslythe, just like tzeentch for spawn. Simply give them a "mark of chaos" to pick rule as many other chaos units have so it isn't as restrictive (and would make sense if your mini is converted to fit a specific mark).

So, maybe Giants with Ironjawz keyword? On Facebook one guy talk about how Jabberslythe could have the same treatement as the Slaugtherbrute but with Nurgle Keyword, and a GW guy replied with a "Oh, thats very interesting! We will think about it!" If GW will continue to update the other MONSTERS OF CHAOS with god-specific keywords, here's what I'd suggest; Centigors, Razorgors - BRAYHERDS Warhounds - SLAVES TO DARKNESS, BRAYHERDS Harpies - BRAYHERDS, SLAANESH Jabberslythe - BRAYHERDS and perhaps NURGLE? (as suggested above) Chimera - SLAVES TO DARKNESS Cockatrice - SLAVES TO DARKNESS, BRAYHERDS? and of course... Gargants - SLAVES TO DARKNESS, BRAYHERDS, WARHERDS, KHORNE, NURGLE, TZEENTCH, SLAANESH 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand...it seems to me pretty pointless giving things like the jabberslythe new keywords unless they're planning to release a book for those factions. I doubt 'brayherds' will ever get a battletome because they're about as old-Warhammer as it gets. The whole faction is ancient (albeit great) models, it's heavily based in ancient mythology (which GW are eradicating), and we've already seen the AoS evolution of gor into the tzaangor, I'd be stunned if we get another beastmen based release. Besides, I just sold my beastmen army. They better not make them great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fungrim Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 A player at Warhammer World at the weekend, seemed to know a lot of the staff there etc - reckoned a new Death release at some point.

Trying not to sound sarcastic with reply but yes there will be at some point! Personally I think we will see something around the Shadespire release due to the background (city Nagash has corrupted to lure warriors to) but no idea what this release could be. 4 minutes ago, Double Misfire said: This weekend's preorders and UK prices : Arkonaut Company £27.50 Book £25 Cards £10 Frigate (medium sized ship) £50 Admiral £15 Prices are RRP U.K. https://war-of-sigmar.herokuapp.com/bloggings/1877 Nice find.

Am I right in thinking every single Start Collecting box has had at least ONE unit from pre-AoS? Always had the feeling that the price-point for those boxes heavily revolved around shifting at least 1 or 2 older units at a decent discount. Think this is probably why, at least so far, there's been no Fyreslayer box Edit: Starter set armies (SE & BB) do of course, have their own Start Collecting boxes to be fair.

I wouldn't be surprised if we got a start collecting set with a Grundstock Gunhauler in. It's smaller than the Frigate enough that GW could easily put out a box with it, an Arknaut Company and a hero in. I'm going to buy the book and a box of Arknauts to keep myself occupied while I wait and see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last thing he gave us is that the new dark elves will have some cthulu like influence. GW have also become good at managing rumours themselves with their Rumour Engine posts. Personally I prefer these fun official teases a month or two ahead of launch, rather than people gnashing their teeth over a dump of information from some smug online rumour-monger 6 months ahead of the release date.

Stormcasts got a SC box with all new models about a year after they were released. Of the other new ranges, Bloodbound include the old Skullcrushers, Ironjaws have Ardboyz, Sylvaneth have Dryads and a Treemen... and Fyreslayers are conspicuous in not having a SC box at all! Ill happily eat my words and start me some sky-dwarfs if they do release one tho! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I would even rate something like this as quite unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorthor adds a lot of 30 Raiders, Gors can be blenders and a couple Jabberslythes will deal with a lot. As a horde they effectively counter the small model elite,. but the games become 4+ hours.

Lavy Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) I think GW would be missing out on a huge sales opportunity if they didn't release god-specific gors and tie them all together with the 'GOR' keyword. It's not even much of a stretch; we've had slaangors, khorgors (sp?), and pestigors in the past. Not to mention the success of the current tzaangors... gorgeous models and I know in my neck of the woods they are selling like hot gor) cakes.

Circus of Paint Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 If by GW adding an extra keyword or two to a Warscroll makes people want to rush out and buy an older box of miniatures, well thats just smart business! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is there is a difference in Brayherd and Gor as keywords. I think Tzaangors should have had Brayherd as a keyword and you would have seen more sales. While they are selling like made it would just be a bit of nice love for us old beastmen players who played god-specific lists in 6th ed.

Galas Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I think GW will realice with the change in Slaugtherbrute and the Mutalist Beast that many people want to buy models, but if they just can't use them with their armys, that push back many people. As GW realised that maybe they are a model company, but many people but their miniatures both to paint them and to use them in games, I'm sure we will see this trend of touching the keywords in many warscroll to make things more usable will continue. And to me that its a good thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daedalus81 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) Frigate sounds right. Must be 10 for $45 for that company, which kinda stinks. Probably a lot of options. Edited April 11, 2017 by daedalus81 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a lot of options. How does $45 for 10 models stink. That's like $36 for the group if you get it with the normal 20% discount that most FLGS will give you. That seems like a big discount from what GW normally gives us. The Fyre Slayers were 10 for $60 I think.

daedalus81 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Well, I wouldn't say most FLGS get you the 20%. It's not a terrible price. Just not quite as good as recent kits without knowing the options available. Anything is a step up from Fyreslayers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
