Neil Arthur Hotep Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Happy 3000 pages, rumour thread! 🥳 Look how much you have grown, little thread. I still remember when you were just 2000 pages long. 😢 20 5 6 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesnt change the point tho. Even if other lists were cheaper it wouldnt matter if those other lists were not as competitive as eel spam. The idea is that people would just buy all the eels they needed and never buy anything else in the IDK section, thus making IDK a less profitable army (allegedly). I dont know a lot about idoneth so I cant say much about warscrolls balance and such but I hope IDK get some love soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did get buff to turtle and sharks later on to the point that they became compelling options compare to eels, only model that may not sell is Namarti and I don’t seemany people put up 30+ in a game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would means that for a while people would still not buy new IDK minis besides eels and just now would start buying stuff. This could mean that the leak was somewhat old considering some people were also pointing out Genestealers are also not the least profitable army in 40k.

Twisted Firaun Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 https://www.totalwar.com/blog/who-is-zhao-ming-cathay-warhammer-3/ More Cathay lore drips coming our way! It looks like Zhao Ming is the cathayan equivalent of a runesmith: He loves working with metal and magic. However, most of his family believe he's being corrupted from exposure to either Warpstone, foreign magic, or the bloody Great Maw itself! That last one sticks out to me, as we've never really seen the Ogre's god affecting anyone but the ogre kingdoms. Also, more mentions of Hobgoblins causing mayhem, which leads me to point out Chaos Dwarfs incoming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irvy Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 I'm mainly just a lurker but as it's the 3k page I thought it appropriate to say thanks to everyone that contributes to this thread, I got back into the hobby during lockdown and this place has complemented my journey massively. I also wanted to use this chance to ask if there are any Skaven rumours? I've recently got into painting clan rats and picked up the pestilens SC box - would love new sculpts or something to get hype about! Thanks 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I don’t think the past rules was what stop people from buying the models, they bought the turtle/ Eldeon/ shark model to paint because it was cool. Some guy at one tournament bought like a max shark army because he thought Sharks were cool. Yes eel may have been the best selling units but it doesn’t mean sales where low on the other units because people buy models for other reasons as well. Competitive buying is often times only a small subsect of the customer base buying stuff then again if anything that didn’t particularly did well in IDK I would hazard a guess it be Namartis Edited September 28, 2021 by novakai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But looks like that symbol is pretty firmly in the Nighthaunt line :"( Well I guess I am a Night Haunt player. It is funny because I have been talking about making a nautical Nighthaunt army in another thread hovering above frozen waters... but I also feel like I cannot afford or justify another army!

Groth, first propeth of the great maw, journeyed with his tribe where she fell and the tribe became deformed living there thanks to the ruin brought by winds full of warpstone. Still the G. Maw itself has some form of power over the Ogres (maybe empowered by their faith like every god in wrhammer universe). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks This is a wonderful community and has really helped me delve into the hobby with a supportive group of fantastic people. I am shy and anxious person in real life but this forum has been a wonderful lifeline to other people (especially in the past year and half). Outside of a small group of dedicated friends discussing and sharing this hobby in person is next to impossible. So thanks TGA community, you rock! May the next 1000 pages be blessed by Hashut to be full of rumours for Chorfs, Umbraneth, Vampirates, Bretonnians and Tomb Kings! And may the MODS have patience as we weave on and off topic for the vast majority of those pages! 2 hours ago, Whitefang said: Something like a 2nd edition of Warcry.

I guess we dont even know if IDK are actually the least profitable army in AoS anyway. For all we know that 4chan thing can be wrong and actually a totally different army can be the least profitable. I can see some armies being that tbh: Skaven (old kits and lots of metal minis), BoC (old kits), Sylvaneth (small range and were considered for a while THE worst army). Frankly, you could say that a lot of armies with old kits are the least profitable in AoS and I would find it strange. And yeah, namarti seem to be the least popular minis in the IDK range. A shame really, I quite like their looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnusaur Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Happy 3000 pages to you all! Thanks for letting my drop by and get my rumor fix.

Great way to boost numbers if they released, dare I say, updated Saurus Warriors. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EccentricCircle Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Wow, 3000 pages! I remember marking 1000 and thinking that that was a lot. i wonder how many actual true rumours we've had in all that time?I'm going to guess maybe 30?
