BL day is the day I care about the least, but it has some gems. It was the day they revealed that Ork Novel last year right? I will watch it with mild interest.

Chikout Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 It may be staying the obvious but we've seen a few of these already and two of them are coming on Thursday. However, there is one icon which stands out. Based on this evidence alone, I think it is highly likely that we see AoS3 on Saturday. Hoping for the full box reveal. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did one for a champion of each if the Choas gods, but the Sigvald was the best of the bunch. Yeah, I really enjoyed the Sigvald book, but it'd be nice to see a chaos book in AoS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand how much more they could possibly bulk up Stormcast... BoC worship chaos itself... I don't think that makes them less chaos-aligned than the servants of the gods. They are, debatably, the most chaos-aligned faction by virtue of not just following the personal whims of a chaos god. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also remember that GW showed invitation card images every day last week: the first of them clearly referred to space marine (oddly it disappeared from the photos of Warhammer TV's Facebook ...) : And for the moment we have had no revelation in this direction (I am thinking of Horus Heresy for Saturday).

lemonicus Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Not only is the logo there, but also is the coin for this month, instead of being Kragnos coin, so pretty sure is 3.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but fundamentally beasts of chaos are the wild version of chaos. The pure version in a sense. Beasts of chaos just need some proper love from gw. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raviv Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I wonder if they'll give any tribute to Richard Halliwell during this week. He was one of the original creators of Warhammer, and passed away recently. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When AoS started, they were just a line of funky goat-men and their pet monsters, and anything could've been done with them. And I agree that not moving them to destruction has been a missed opportunity. Their origin story of being created but abandoned by chaos is good and could have stayed, that's a solid origin story, just make them leave chaos in response and decide to ruin everything for everyone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something I'd love would be if they have both destruction and chaos keywords. It'd be a first for AoS, but I can't see how it would be gamebreaking. In terms of their goals (anarchy and overthrowing law and order) they are aligned with both chaos and destruction. There's also an origin myth that they're descended from a 'gorfather', which they might see in kragnos. Of course, highly doubtful this would happen. If GW had intended kraggy to be used with boc, they'd have included some beasts in there with the mixed destruction army shot.

I fully agree with you. I always thought that it will be logically more appropriate to move BoC to destruction. First of all, the realm, where this faction is originate, is actually the realm of the BEAST. The second is that on part of the BoC tribes actually focus on corruption and the majority focus on destruction. A third reason could easily make Kragnos their leader... alpha mentality. Beastmens always choose a leader based on their animalistic traits and strength. And to be honest this is the easiest transition we can imagine. We still could have corrupted Beasmens (Tzaangor, Pestigors and etc.) in Chaos factions and "normal" beasmens in Destruction.

The Brotherhood of Necros Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Can’t wait for Kraggy to shake up the Mortal Realms for a whole edition! I want to see him and his rabble do what no one else has really been able to do and break into Azyr AND the Eightpoints! Expose both but cause so much mayhem and destruction that neither Order nor Chaos can do anything to maximise on it 🍳 I can’t think of anything else that fits this ‘the Mortal Realms will never be the same again’ tagline they keep throwing around.

PrimeElectrid Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Given how poor the 40k one was yesterday (one new model, 2 books and a bunch of stuff seen already), and the fact that that Monday’s AoS reveal brought us up to date with everything that has been teased so far (Kragnos and SBG), and a bunch of stuff we’ve seen already... I do agree that expectations should be well and truly lowered for the mystery day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acrozatarim Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 The whole 'MYSTERY SATURDAY WOOOOOOO' thing is already a big hype-builder. Everyone's projecting what they want to see on it and getting excited. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(kinda like how community-theorycrafting about Game of Thrones' ending made the actual TV-plot seem very (very, very, very) shallow) I get the urge to hype the streams from GW's perspective (get those clicks/viewers going), but in a broader perspective WarhammerFest used to be 'just' a weekend-liveblog with some previews which are now spread out over a week.

sandlemad Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 (edited) I think it's entirely plausible that Saturday will just be a trailer/teaser for AoS 3.0. Maybe an animated video of orks/gobbos marching on Excelsis/Azyr, maybe just a hammer logo with a super-serious voiceover, maybe maybe just a glimpse of the third edition rulebook cover. No guarantee of seeing new minis or new rules or anything. For today though getting an update on Nate Crowley's Ghazghkull book would be cool.

I certainly think the overall community hype and enthusiasm would come out the other side of Warhammer Fest a lot higher if they packed everything into 2-3 days, rather than one less-than-hour-long video a day strung out across a whole week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the preview is dedicated to AoS 3, it's got to be more than that. Maybe it's going to be a mixed preview with something for everyone, like most of the Saturday previews we've seen lately. My guess is some info for TotalWarhammer3, combined with The Old World teaser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
