sorokyl Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 4 hours ago, dillonjay21 said: Moonclan Grots are coming, not sure what the timetable for the release is. New fanatics, characters, squig hoppers, troggoths, and a few other squig type things. The theme is very much based on the Fungoid Cave Shaman and overall they are a lot darker and grimier than their previous iteration. I am almost positive they are sticking with the same grot models for this line too (the 20 man battleline unit). I believe a lot of those rumor engine photos are from the new line. the mention of fanatics makes me question the validity of this post. The fanatics are pretty decent models, exactly inline with the normal grots. It would be weird to replace one and not the other. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fanatics haven't been reboxed the same way the grot box has like most AOS unit boxes have and they do show their age a bit more than the standard grots IMO.

Assassin-like "shadow" or the magical kind of "shadow" stuff? Well i heard some rumors that the shadow elves will be some kind of dragon twisted creatures, as well as light elves having some kind of angelic form.#(Let’s just call them lizardelve-things, and birdelve-things) #probably similar idea like those snake lady’s from the daughter of khaine range Edited August 16, 2018 by Skreech Verminking 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storyline is going to progress with more Aelf factions popping up because they are no longer held up keeping Slannesh prisoner Thats a REALLY good guess I have also heard "dragon-elves" and "angel-elves" but just a one source thing. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NurglesFirstChosen Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Tbf the core rules book states that at the very least Malerioms aelves will be changed in form. That and the picture of what we can only assume to be the dragon form of Malerion would point towards dragon aelves ? I hope you guys with leaks aren’t just winding us up with hedged bets ??

I could see the Fanatics redone if GW wants them featured prominently within Moonclan going forward. They certainly are not poor models currently, but nor are they up to the current standards. The chains in particular lack crisp detail, as well as the undersides which you can see in this case. However, since Fanatics are already on round bases, I don't see the fact that they have not been reboxed as significant. New Troggoths has me very excited. The old stone trolls are what sucked me into WHFB originally, and trolls have always been some of my favorites since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LLV Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Sorry, that’s literally all I have. I was told Darkoath this year, then Darkoath/brayherds and lastly that there might have been a schedule change so not sure on the dates. GW have been a little more tight since the Soulwars out break and most of that only came to light thanks to Martin Morrin announcing ‘AoS phase 2’ live on stream by accident ( then telling everyone it was a lie and wasn’t happening btw lol). Anyway, that’s all I got right now. With the windows getting tighter I’m sure we will see something green n sneaky on Saturday. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoN is so good that it is probably the best battletome out there. And the NH extension is a superb bonus to LoN. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very optimistically (read: foolishly) holding out hope for a flesh eater courts updated battletome (probably no new models though) and a soulblight update with a battletome, plastic vampire lord + blood knights and a unit of vampire thralls.

For now, I think: No and No . I'd be really surprised. FEC is OK as it is and vampires have been covered by LoN. I think that we are done with death actually. But given what we've got this year, I (absolutely) won't complain. I'm super happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a supposed skaven release as well right after AOS2, but the rumour engine does not point towards it at all as far I can tell. I think releases get pushed further frequently.
