OMG YES! More seraphon evidence. With all that I'm lowkey starting to get hopeful it's a big wave for AoS, but even if it's just warcry band and scenery, I'm a happy dino fan. Also, just to confirm, here is the realmshaper engine, including the veeeery similar orb

God, that’s almost identical.

There haven't been any Seraphon rumors, have there? I mean other than the same sort of rumors we've been hearing since 2015 or so. None of the rumormongers have said anything as far as I can remember.

We have seen the rumor picture of a Seraphon spear few months ago. Also they are due a new Battletome in 2023. I don’t think a large wave but perhaps more than a hero. I’ll assume some new salamander and kroxigor either through new kit, warcry or underworlds

I know the device they hold is a "black hole bomb".

I'm assuming the rumor engine is another terraforming device? 

This is almost 100% Warcry terrain. I would love it to be a new model like a Slann, warbeast, astrolith or whatever. However considering I went nuts over the Heart of Ghur box over the couple of pieces of Seraphon ruins, I'll be just as happy for more terrain.

I agree its definitely terrain. I could see this boxed set containing the Seraphon ruins and Realmshaper(?) Engine alongside a Seraphon Warband with new Saurus Warriors OR new Saurus Guard with an Oldblood Leader.

The other side of the box could be either Orruks or Ogors.

I doubt new Saurus warrior sculpt will be in a Warcry warband, it doesn’t work in term of it being from a different game system.

Like they just release you know a regular box of ten infantry model like everything else they do

No rumors but seraphon getting Kroak in BR seem like it may lead to a release since every army that got one off models in the last two BR books have so far gotten a small model release this edition (Sylvaneath, Nighthaunt, Slaves, Stormcast)

If there is a Seraphon Warband, which seems quite likely, what other models would they use? Skinks? A new breed?

I mean looking at other warbands it usually one leader type, one specialist/ warbeast and then varying numbers of Thralls with different weapons

they may all be Saurus, they may mix mash with Skink, but I doubt they going to be the replacement kit for Saurus  warriors just like how Underworlds war bands are not

Seems like a lot of our Rumor Guru's have not predicted anything past the end of this year. Which means no confirmation of Seraphon even though it's likely they are getting something. 

I hope we'll be blessed with a hint or image or teaser of what to expect (especially for Seraphon)

Ooooh sorry mate I just understood what you meant, as in they may just be models available now instead of new sculpts?

Awesome work here mate, wonder if anything will turn up Destruction wise then with Kragnos having been released or then again I guess Kruelboyz cover that.

It would be pretty sweet if all three other destro armies get something. Gitz and Ogors both really need it. Gitz just need such a general refresh, if not as bad as skaven, and a rules update, and Ogors need some serious toolkit expansion, and the finecast models updated.

SoB are fine imo but I won’t complain about them getting an expansion if it means the other two get what they deserve.

I'll say the rumour well would have run dry with there no longer being any external playtesters.

Rumours are Sons are getting an upgrade kit or sprue added that may be a certain KING BRODD HIMSELF so fingers crossed that remains true!!

Ogors have a lot of finecast to update and all troop choices are in very rank and file poses, they dont represent what an Ogor really should which is massive mounds of muscle and fat, truly terrifying monsters.

Gloomspite could do with Spiderfang being updated and of course more Troggoths added!!

Why does everyone think that SoB will be one of the 2 destruction tomes?  Doesn't it make much more sense that it would be Gitz and Ogors (given that SoB got a white dwarf update and these didn't)?  

Gloomspite also got a white dwarf update, 3 in fact, just wasn't called a tome celestial article. 

Here's where GW throws us a curveball and the 2 tomes are Battletome Ironjawz and Battletome Kruleboyz 😂😂😂

@Whitefang has hinted. Also GW doesnt seem to have rhyme and reason with Tomes, case in point DOK.

This is a bit off topic, but shouldn’t we have seen a Valkia trailer for Total War today? 

There is some sort of delay, rumour is that the pre-order was meant to go up but didn't so they are holding off on the trailer.

Those were for the previous edition, not the 3rd edition updates with battle tactics and grand strategies.  Those were all overridden by the Broken Realms: Kragnos update to Gitz anyway.

Ah, guess I missed the whitefang hint on that one... still they've yet to break this pattern with white dwarf updates and battletomes, but it would hardly be the first time they've broken a pattern in a disappointing way, lol.  *Grumbles about orruks never getting endless spells or terrain*
