C0deb1ue Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 (edited) new destruction race wise.... Cantabrian mythology has a something called a Cuegle.... it's pretty out there but three different coloured eyes, an extra arm and related to cyclops etc...

Aelfric Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 I'd be happy with a nod towards more traditional fairie folk - Pixies, Redcaps, Brownies, Boggarts, and such like. The fairy-tale motiff has appeared occasionally recently, especially since the Sons release. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udalriki Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Okay maybe I am going mad after all this speculation, but I posted the last two speculation boards on Reddit and yesterday night I got a notification on my tablet regarding something like a "bubbling cauldron" and "stirring" written in cursive the message was longer but because it was just a notification I couldn't see the rest (the beginning of the message reminded me of a Poem). At this point it was really late so I wanted to read the notification in the next morning. After I have seen the grimdark live video today I wanted to look after the message because it sounded interesting regarding the last rumours but when I watched on my tablet the notification was there for a moment and then quickly disappeared. I have looked in my inbox there is also nothing. So maybe it is a technical bug or the moderators deleted the message or the person which posted this message deleted it himself. Either way I am going to put my Tin Foil hat on and stay hyped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnelian Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Sounds like a whole bunch of different greenskins are joining the Great Waaagh to destroy Excelsis, and the starter box is going to feature multiple races of greenskins, inclusing a new hobgoblin style unit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thalassic Monstrosity Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 (edited) So the current belief is Hobbit-style greenskins, between orruks and grots. Sort of "lean orcs", I guess. Swamp or cavern dwellers. And the name of these friendly gits is "Cruelboys". I wonder what will make them stand apart as a Destruction faction from Gloomspite and Warclans? Would they even be a separate faction, or an additional "third subtype" in Warclans? Edited May 15, 2021 by Thalassic Monstrosity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jator Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Kruelboyz can be cool, but whatever I like them or not, if I can spam the hobgobs and make an army out of them then I will get this army anyway. But I think I'd like the whole faction, sounds very morky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More Troggs!! Fellwater update, Sulphur Breath, Hill Troggoth, Mountain Troggoth, Ice Troggoth gimme gimme!! Ooooh, I like that! I think a gang of gangly goblinoids covered in the grime and filth of the swamps would be sufficiently creepy to fit the teaser! And a BIG second on getting more Troggoths! Playing with a Troggoth-only list made me feel the joy of krumpin' smaller gits I assume every Destruction player feels in their brutal but cunning (or possibly cunning but brutal) hearts...if only I would have named myself Public Universal Trogg! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawnmane Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 (edited) Oh no oh no they can't be called Cruel Boyz. Please no. It's completely against all AOS naming convention. Surely it will be the Kruulohr Lordboyz or something.

Yeah I think it works quite well together!! Almost like Smeagol retreating into the mountains and 'devolving' only instead of a River folk they are Orruks!! We need more monsters and Troggoths are perfect to expand upon!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, well, yeah often they kinda are, just look at WHFB and Blood Bowl heheh.

I'm honestly not sure if that's gonna be the faction name, seems like NOTHING we have seen from GW so far in terms of AOS faction names. I can see a 'Cruel Boyz' unit, but as faction name? At least make it Machiavellian Guychumz, or something. 2 minutes ago, KingBrodd said: Yeah I think it works quite well together!!

Yoid Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 According to the teaser these guys sneak on groups of people to murder them. I don't see stinking/smelly monsters being able to do so like the water troggoths. I can see some kind of Gitz being smeared in dirt to smell exactly like the swamp as a form of camouflage tho.

Great, now I'm imagining goblins mimicking the ending of Predator and I don't know if the thought terrifies me or angers me - the latter because I know no matter what, I will never see this scene but between a Stormcast and a buffed up Gitmob. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Televiper11 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 The SBGL novel was gone in 60 sec, same with the ltd ed art print set. I really hate their pre-order system that requires lightning reflex perfection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
