Mutton Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) The opposing force will be an orc warband that includes that one gutrippa with no current incarnation. We have several rumor engines with the same buzzards, implying it's a motif among several models. Birds vs. spiders.

JustAsPlanned Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Yknow what, I’m gonna snort a massive line of copium and say that the new Warcry set is gonna be Spider v Spider, with the Chaos Spider Bois against new and improved Spiderfang models. I will continue with this delusion until proven other wise :^) 1 1 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah let’s ban nurgle, no pestilential santa claus is allowed in our ratty hidy holes. And to make it upt for all those skaven players, shall we increase the min. size of stormvermins and plague monks by another 10models Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snorri Nelriksson Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) Skaven just need to return to basics,have some units as battline and for every main clan allegiance or general "type" adds some battlelines(and please makes something for Enshin and Moulder). It's not warp-powered rocket science.... Still it fits not having allies as they are backstabbing hateful little monsters(more than the other chaotic armies). Btw the spiderman seems nice,not ny cup of tea but nice indeed...but now i'm just obsessed on @Whitefang comment and can't stop thinking about Hashut sons.

The right mix of weird without seeming too overdesigned like The Unmade. The Unmade are to me the most aesthetically original Warcry warband. Beautiful models. All of Warcry Chaos warbands are quite amazing, but this spider guy just looks lame. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the eightfold watcher seems similar to the eightfold path of chaos...so i really doubt is an ulgu elvish warband (other than being lame as the last time we already got daughters starting warband). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maogrim Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 There are no mentions whatsoever of Malerion's aelves having any connection to spiders. This guy on the other hand has no visual clues on him that would tie him to the things we know are Malerion-like: shadows, reptilian wings, milltary aelves. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaleb Daark Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) firstly that chaos dwarf is rubbish. he looks nothing like a chaos dwarf, just because he's got a silly hat, it doesn't make him a chaos dwarf. Secondly what's he doing with a scared octopus on the back of his head? Thirdly.. do we think khorne will wake up to the fact that everyone has a hero that can absolutely cane anything in close combat apart from him.. well he did have but he was parked on a huge dragon that is now out of production so that doesn't count. Anyway back to what I was saying, what's with the stupid looking thing with the dead octopus on the back of his head? Couldn't he use a dead chicken like every other cultist?

Austin Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Very cool model. If it wasn’t on the Warhammer site and someone showed it to me, I would have no clue it was a Warhammer model. I guess it fits with AoS as an anything is possible setting, but for some reason it really makes me miss the Old World setting. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there we go again with the cruel bit.. every elf wants to be a chaos dwarf, if it isn't the bull divinity and a big hat it's the cruel aspect. Everyone wants to be a chaos dorf..

His proportions sure look aelflike to me, though, and his aesthetic doesn't look like anything in the current chaos line. He really reminds me of the old dark elves. Spiders would make sense as a realm of shadows thing and be a neat answer to Morathi's snakes. Mainly I just like him so I'm hoping he's a Malekith elf.

The Brotherhood of Necros Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) This one has missed the mark for me (it rarely happens, to be fair!). It looks too busy for my tastes and it doesn’t scream spider to me. The head/mask seems almost cartoonish. Fingers crossed the rest of the brood will feel more on point.

FFJump Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 4 hours ago, Whitefang said: They may be not, but... Wait is that suggesting the enemy warband is Chaos Dwarfs? I really would have thought if it was Chaos Dwarfs they would have made a bigger deal. A spider warband is cool and everything, but I would have thought the "Return of the Chaos Dwarfs" would have been a bigger WOAH factor for the previews or at least already hinted at. Unless you're just saying that terrain in the video was made by Chaos Dwarfs lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't recall GW bringing anyone back without giving respect to their WHF origins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jymmy Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 As a Spuderfang player: I guess I truly never had faith to begin with but still… it hurts. I guess that the spider iconography means Chaos now, let’s retcon the Spider-god and be done with it… Bone-splitter fellas, wanna share a battletome? Any other forgotten tribe is welcome! 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higolx Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 (edited) They could just be elves that worship chaos. Isnt the whole point of StD that they are the tribes that used to live on the realms and got enslaved into serving chaos? Im sure there must've been a couple of elves that got enslaved by chaos. They dont have to be related to one of the elven gods, just like the CoS elves are not. Even tho I COULD see if someone confirmed this as Malerion elf, it doesnt have to be tbh. Edit: looks like one of the splintered fang warband is an elf already (top right). So we have a precedent for it just being a chaos worshiping elf.
