I can't wait to see what they get! I'd love them to be rolled into Kruleboyz somehow but think they'll stay in gsg and that'll get rebranded into a new grot coalition tome or with any luck become their own thing...We'll see. 😁 If Gitmob is really going to be expanded, and the Snarlfang Riders are indicative of the future, they could draw some inspiration from this bit of 8th edition WHFB. This always captured my imagination and is my favorite bit from that Army Book. “Other well known goblin tribes include nomadic traders that travel the wilderness in ramshackle, fortress-like caravans. They trade with all kinds of unsavory types and, unsurprisingly, are known for their thievery and swindling skills.” Would be great for Back Library stories as well! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You actually get to see these Goblin slave-trader caravans in depth in the Skarsnik Fantasy novel. Skarsnik gets captured by them and eventually manages to rise in power until he can kill the Boss and take it over for himself.

If I had to predict a Gitmob release they probably dive into their Mongolian aesthetic. Iconic units like the wolf chariots and pump wagons variants are probably the bulk of the plastic units being released. From the limited lore we know about Gitmob, we probably have a Gitlord hero at minimum. since its been theorized that they sort of the opposite of Gloomspite Gitz and worship the Evil Sunz as sort of the counterpart to Da Bad Moon. Knowing the design teams like having some 40K design cues, they probably homaging stuff from Ork Speed Freaks and White Scars but for Grots lol 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommissarRotke Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 1 hour ago, Ejecutor said: I didn't think about it in that way, but yeah, it would make a lot of sense. Use this edition as a "reset" to establish the game closer to its "final form" and then put the marketing machine to work in all kind of ways. finally got my hands on some Dawnbringer books and was shocked at how little new artwork there was. Plenty of awesome dioramas by the studio team, a lot of which had older (WHF) models in them. Soulbound has also been delaying some releases if I remember @Baron Klatz saying so. Champions of Chaos and the Ancient Empires supplement come to mind. These plus the way 4e is being marketed as #NEWAOS #AOSREFORGED is making me think/hope that AOS is going to get a deluge of new art that it deserves. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see air and land vehicles, calvary like Snarlfangs, and unique goblin troops now that the "vanilla" goblins are firmly a TOW thing. I'd love a fantasy goblin Evil Sunz Clan/Kult of Speed. Spin it out of captured Gholem/Kharadron fortresses and make a destruction "weird science" faction to compete with the Skaven and Chorfs! With all their antagonists taking their respective slice of the "crazy machinery!" pie, surely Gholems and Dispossessed would need to respond with their own toys!

willange Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I would love it if gitmobs got broken out into a separate faction! Having different "flavors" of a fantasy race is always so fun. I know people joke about aelves having 4 factions, but I would love to see 4 different "flavors" of goblin too! And duardin! And Orruks!

Luperci Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I think it'd be cool to see a grot faction that interacts with cities more, aside from just stealing their glass bottles like GSG. Kinda like star wars jawas where they pick up battlefield debris and sell it back to humans. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fracas Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 My Gitmob wishlist: - Chariots - Chariots - More Chariots That’s it really, just chariots. With ballistas or catapults even. Oh and some snotlings.

Gitzdee Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Im kinda shocked to see that i made this 1,5 year ago XD. I would still like to see a desert theme with new Gitmob.

I'd love an extended interview with that one dude because whatever their justification is I don't think it's reasonable tbh. It feels out of step with everything they are doing the time period of the first two AoS editions If the Scaremonger does succeed in putting the fear of the sun into the night goblins via a mask and hallucinations... Would the sungrots bully the cavegrots? Make fun of 'em for living in dank basements and eating junk food? Could be a fun dynamic if daygrots were jock bullies; that's a dynamic mostly present in the Orks and Grots of 40k and fantasy O&G but pretty absent in AoS. It'd be fun to have the Grots bullying each other for a change Edited April 26 by Pizzaprez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nezzhil Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 21 hours ago, GloomkingWortwazi said: I'm more hoping for an overhaul of the spiders aesthetic to match the concept art: That way we get new weird looking cave squig-spiders with moonclan riders and some scuttling grots like the ones from Silver Tower. Definitely felt like a direction they explored and abandoned. Gitmob can get a tome, take the wolves and get the cool stuff like doom divers and all that back. Sneaky Snufflers Sporesplatta Fanatics Gobbapalooza Loonboss Squig Herds Dankhold Troggoth Only two models left from this piece of art. *wink* 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
