The Rumour Thread


Recommended Posts

Difficult this year, but I actually went for the Slaanesh Lord of Pain. As much as I love the big centrepiece models I tend to vote for something a little more ‘understated’ in these. I think they should separate 40k, AoS and Specialist Games for these though, or it’s almost certainly gonna be a 40k model every year.

The model of the year survey is up:

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2021/12/21/vote-now-for-miniature-of-the-year-2021-choose-your-winner/

And now we all have a choice to make: Do we vote for Sigvald like he deserves, or do we vote for the meme crab instead? 🦀🦀🦀

I'm missing quite a few Necromunda heroes, but they are FW of course. 

I chose Lady Annika. It isn't the most intricate, but it it a very effective design

I voted Kroak, hopefully enough voted will make them consider making some more Seraphon. But he is none the less a beautiful kit, Be’lakor was close but had to back my dead Toad Boy

Did the exact same thing. I vote whatever Seraphon/Lizardmen thing I can whenever I can.

I wish they'd have a few categories – best centerpiece, best unit, best solo – and then award a best mini of the year based on whichever got the most votes.

Size has historically dominated with big models winning 4/5 times, but I think that's because the bigger sculpts tend to be more notable even if they're less impressive in design terms. E.g. IMHO, the Necron psychomancer is a better 32mm sculpt than Belakor is a 120mm sculpt. I think we'd get more varied winners if the smaller models weren't so heavily overshadowed.

Just a nudge but back to rumours please. Fingers crossed for some reveals on Christmas Day but sort of expecting a 40K Emperors Children vs Eldar Rangers now…. (Excited but sad at same time… 😭)

Mate I agree I really want anything AOS announced or revealed but I do worry itll all be 40K.

Give me some Ogors you cowards!!

I think if anything they'll throw us a frustrating teaser that would point to Idoneth Deepkin. The slow down in the supply chain sure does heart the rumor industry.

I am calling it Christmas we get new announcements for all the major systems. 

40k: Biggest Announcement Dual Box Featuring Chaos and Eldar. I immediately buy it and run them as Slaves to Darkness and Lumineth and secretly get everyone in my area into AOS.

Boxed Games: Some cool Necromunda model that I immediately fall in love with list 15 conversion possibilities and the proceed to forget that it ever existed. 

AoS: A short animated video previewing the next faction. It will be something painfully oblique like Grungni working on a clockwork construct saying, "Soon my mechanical masterpieces will be unleashed upon the realms". And we will all collectively shout "Brettonians"! Or Teclis with a shadow cast over him saying "I came to the aid of my twin and found only shadows here" followed by Malerion's wicked laugh... and we will shout "Silent People". We will get the IDK/Fyreslayer box previewed for New Years both armies will release before the previewed army. 

LOTR: Something awesome and I will want to play LOTR again... Did they ever do the Blue Wizards?

I always find it kind of a missed opportunity to not make these polls have multiple categories, like best Centerpiece, Best from Forgeworld, or best Underworlds Gang. 

Makes me want to make one myself... If I have the time and patience.

We could do one here...

Also, Forgeworld wasn't included at all. (Which is just as well, they have negative growth for AoS, but some of their Necromunda stuff is real nice).

Wow, you’ve captured the Zeitgeist of this thread, and the hobby, exceedingly well. The Necromunda bit especially, so many concepts floating in my head, and then, poof, nothing.
