The Rumour Thread

Well, they’ve put themselves in an excellent position to expand OBR, FS, IDK, and KO- OBR square off with Skaven in the Prime Innerlands (Hopefully with Nagash’s return bookending the edition), FS fight to stall the Skaven coming from the east, the Idoneth wreck havoc on their navies, and the KO fight the Much-Great Sky Kill-Armada in Chamon. 

NGL, that would be an extremely fun roadmap if each encounter with the skaven worked to add some to both sides; skaven would get four or five waves of miniatures, and they have so much going on as a faction that I bet you could get a masterclan/pestilines/moulder/skyre/eshin each in a small wave and you wouldn't see much overlap.

PEPE SILVIA TIME!

How is this supposed rumor looking after the great squattening of 2024?

I can't find it, but wasn't part of this very same rumor also saying that practically every weapons team was going away or being updated?

Guessing Master Corruptor is actually Moulder?

"Technomage" sounds practically synonymous with the Warlock Engineers, so possible this fella? 

War of Sigmar - New Skaven Clan Rats revealed and new Weapons team leaked ^^

Edit: Added SG Warhound rumors bellow:

So was it Hell crown that city shown in the trailer?

Yessir.

Rumours of late have it that there has been a vast incursion of Skaven into Aqshy, that they now control all the land east of Hel Crown and will soon be in a position to threaten the heartlands of the Great Parch, and perhaps eventually even Hammerhal Aqsha itself. Madmen speak of eerie green light beyond the mountains, and the terrible clanging of brass bells. They say that the loathsome ratmen have burst forth in other realms too, that nowhere is safe from the rise of the verminous tide.

It would be interesting to compare that list with the one from SG Warhound.

Yeah, reviewing the battlescroll changes there are some odd or funny changes to the OBR-

The Soulreaper wasn’t being taken at 110, so why would it be taken at 120? 

Deathriders to 200 points- Just bite the bullet and make Trample The Defiant harder, because these guys were already pillowfisted at 180 and at 200 they’re literally just there to score Trample and then die violently. 

Arch-Kavalos Zandtos to 170 and the Liege-Kavalos to 190- Congratulations Zandtos, now they’re not even pretending you might be better or even remotely as good as your generic counterpart. 

Mortek Crawler to 160- It wasn’t worth it at 170 and it’s not worth it now. It has an unreliable tactic, poor to mediocre at best shooting. If you want to make it worth bringing, let its stele bypass Look Out, Sir! and give its midrange shot a few more attacks, or something to not suck completely.

They don’t seem to be particularly interested in looking into why certain units aren’t taken- Why would I take a Morghast Harbinger, a unit which is anti-synergistic with the core Bonereapers mechanic (Relentless Discipline makes Deep Strike units actively harmful to take), isn’t around for getting buffed by our spells and Ossifectors, and frequently drops in unsupported, when for the exact same price and a single command point, I can have the infinitely better Necropolis Stalker, or 10 points more and I can bring the infinitely better Morghast Archai. This thing would need to be way cheaper for me to ever consider bringing it.

If we got a Runefather on a four-winged lava wyvern, I might just cry from happiness. (Or just any fyreslayer riding a dragon model).

Just noticed that in the last article there's the Iron Golems in the background of this photo.

Yes. All of these units are tournament legal until 2025, which is why it shouldn't be a surprise GW is using the cultist warbands and Sacrosanct in pictures still tbh. All of these models will still have tabletop-life until 5e. No reason to wipe them from promo/action shots.

It seems to be the old empire minis, aren't they? Or could it be a hint from a new crossbowman unit?

those are absolutely the old Empire troops WOW. That feels like we can expect to see squatted stuff in future art.

Whoa whoa whoa!

Was this mentioned here and I missed it? Had spotted it on Discord for a new Omnibus for the Mortal Realms.

Seems it has stories jumping between the first ever AoS novel “Gates of Azyr” to the newer stuff like Dominion.

Very nifty to see with how much AoS4 has felt like a big callback to AoS1 so good to get newbies caught up and absolutely beautiful cover. That’s an insta-buy for me! 👌 ️ 

(Plus anything Josh is a must)

This is pretty cool, but I’d instantly drop $100+ USD if GW would publish a book that consolidates all the AOS lore up to the end of Dawnbringers into a single tome.
