The Rumour Thread


Recommended Posts

At first I thought that I order Feast of Bones only for OBR and then sell Ogors. Now I think I will build and paint Ogors first, lol.

It was a great year for AoS by the way. Perhaps the best so far. Many battletomes (somebody did count?), Gloomspite, Slaanesh, Bonereapers, best GHB. To be perfect it only lacked models, terrain and/or spells for older armies (Fyreslayers, and Orruks negligence is most annoying).

EDIT

I would almost forget - no new Stormcast army! That's gold! 

And great boxes - Looncurse, Feast of Bones and the first one with FEC and Skaven.

I had a feeling we might see something for Warcry but I was kinda hoping they might show off the Scions of Flame warband as well. I have to say that Bestigor is probably my favourite Bestigor sculpt and after this one and the one in Beastgrave I'm dying for a box of them with updated sculpts. Having said that though I can't really say that I'm a huge fan of the warband overall, to me it kinda feels like they don't have as much personality to them as the other ones. It might be a case of "they look better in person" though.

Was hoping for more Beastgrave stuff but oh my goodness those gnoblars are precious. I love them. They're the perfect urchins, my horrible little children.

These ogres are brilliant too, they have a great look and, more than most, really are suitable for AoS. That shouldn't be the main thing with their design of course but it's nice to see. You could scatter them in with the bulls with minimal work.

The spire tyrants are really cool! Far more interesting than I expected, definitely classic chaos but not in a completely Frank Frazetta style. Bizarre that the dude they showed off previously is easily the least interesting one. I like that they're all clearly individuals with their own gladiatorial style. The spiky maces are striking and that bestigor might be the coolest beastman model I've seen.

I find the gnoblars quite cute as well. Was hoping for CoS beastgrave, but this tickles my fancy as well. No clue what I'd do with them, but I'll manage something.

Well, that are some Sculpts I wouldn´t hestiate to use alongside my StD :D

Edit:

With the SPIEL-Teaser beeing Specialist Games only, when can we expect the next core game studio preview? If I remember correctly, all teased models are in release process right now, which means next teaser wave should be around the corner, right? OBR, Ogors, CoS and Ironjaws are all out soon.

Also, do we have any infos about upcoming stuff? We know missing tomes and we can asume a follow up campaign to "Forbidden Power".

Missing Tomes btw:

  • Kharadron Overlords (from 1.0 to 2.0)
  • Tzeentch (from 1.0 to 2.0)
  • Seraphon (from 1.0 to 2.0)
  • Slaves to Darkness

Also we have several Rumour engines that look quite aelvish and may be a new faction following the Footsteps of the Kurnothi Hunters from Beastgrave...oh, apropo Beastgrave: No new Warbands Teased at SPIEL looks a bit weird, doesn´t it? Or is it only because we already have Wolfriders spoiled and missing in Release?

My understanding is that the next preview will be at Blood & Glory next week.

 

Last year that preview gave us: a teaser for Gloomspite, Made to Order Beastmen, Wrath & Rapture reveal, Chapter Approved 2018, Vigilus teaser, Delaque for Necromunda, Godsworn Hunt for Nighvault and the Blackstone Fortress reveal. 

 

So hopefully be a nice bunch of reveals next Friday evening.

Gnoblars are absolute winners. Love the little guys.

In fact the whole Ogor BB team is the first I've liked in quite a while. Too bad I don't really play that game.

 

The Warcry models are great, especially the chaos dwarf and the female with the mace.

I am half-pleased and half-disappointed with the Spire Tyrants. From the previewed miniature i imagined they would all fashion helmets with nods to the classic chaos look, but only two humans out of six wear helmets.

The first miniature with the raised sword that i suspect is the leader, looks like a bloodreaver who salvaged parts from a blood warriors armor. If i buy the warband he will get a head swap with a helmeted head from the bits box.

The beastlord looks great, though his helmet looks a bit oversized compared to his lower half body. Might just be the angle of the photo, of course.

It looks like they are all on 32 mm bases though, which will be a very welcomed change if so. I am not keen on the variety of different base sizes within each warband, when it comes to using them in Age of Sigmar.

I do like the theme of this warband a lot more than the look of the Darkoath from Underworlds, if they were to reimagine the classic Chaos Marauders with new sculpts, for me , this would be the way.

Next Preview is not much more than a week from now, Saturday 02.11. at Blood and Glory according to this article:

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/10/01/upcoming-events-and-conventions/

That will propably be the last studio preview of the year, going by the article. But I'd expect another round of reveals around Christmas, going by the experience of the last two years. So we should have a pretty clear image of what is coming for the rest of the year come the 2nd. Maybe a teaser for the first big project to come out 2020, with a proper reveal Christmas.

 

 

I really like the Spire Tyrants. They have a very nice eighties fantasy Vibe. Not as unique as some of the others, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. As I've said here before that some of the warbands are so laden with unique parts, it makes it hard to add your own touch. And it makes sense, seeing how the Spire Tyrants are closest to the armies of the Everchosen, they'd have the most of that look.

Great to see it's another mixed warband. But I think my favorite is by far that Beastman, a very nice and unexpected boon for all fans of the cloven ones.

Best thing is they ARE Slaves to Darkness. Honestly at this stage I can't see the Marauder kit hanging around. Even if they have superior stats people would use Warcry Warbands as a stand in as they just ooze detail and chaotic style. 

 

And Slaves Endless Spells already? Darn I might have been right that GW was going to put Slaves after Ogors and Reapers to complete the AoS battletome-ification and then update the 3 remaining out of date Tomes next year. VERY Excited (even if my Slaves budget just got eaten up by Bonereapers)

New "rumor/leak/whatever". 
Slaves to Darkness battletome? 

some interesting stuff there, i guess the Kill Team/Blackstone Fortress 'annuals' will be all the collected WD articles, maybe with some little extras, that's nice to see coming out.

on the StD bits would also make sense them to repackage and re-release the Warcry warbands in AoS boxes too. would suggest StD isn't a SUPER HUGE release (well apart from all the warbands, chaos creatures etc etc etc).

I'd love to know what comes after 'shattered' & 'ruined' in the Azyrite terrain...

As long as they renew all the marauder kits  and add a new unit I‘d be fine with it. ^^ 

If you look at the Warbands and their current rules they are VERY close to Marauders. Honestly I imagine that the on-foot marauders will vanish from sale and be replaced with the warbands. The warbands offering a far better sculpt and more modern as well a niche variables. It also means that Warcry builds very nicely into AoS, which is just what GW wants from it. 

Plus even if GW doesn't retire the Marauder kit who would want them when the warcry warbands look so much better. Even if you don't use the warband rules they'd ideally work as proxies.

Looking at that 'leak'... should we be concerned about how it mentions the 'Oldheim Ogres' blood bowl team when we now know that they're called the Fire Mountain Gut Busters?

There's also the re-release of the Warcry warbands, which seems odd. Could be putting them in regular AoS packaging though without the Warcry gubbins.

I hope we see Bel'akor, the new furies, Soul Grinder and the Everchosen units rolled into the new StD tome. I wouldn't be surprised if they put all of the Warcry beasts in the tome along with the warbands actually, including the unreleased Fomoroid Crusher which is personally a must have. I don't even care if it's AoS rules suck that models looks awesome.
