No, he means that they could keep the current aesthetic because there's nothing on TOW core factions that looks close enough. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No i think they WILL get big attention Just they're not going to redo them from scratch like Hight elf--> lumineth or Cities of sigmar--> empire They get more a Slaves to darkness, Skaven, Soulblight or Serpahon redo where they stick with the faithful of the old Ogre Kingdom but with extra flair. The OK aren't a core race in ToW so there no need to be "visually distinct" to put it when it come to the Mawtribes 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, can always happen mid-edition. Just look at the last Cities book where we lost phoenix temple and wanderers. I imagine we'll lose duardin the next time they get a book (which will probably be later this year). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There units like Yhetees and Firebellies that seem too far out from the design from the Gutbuster that they not important enough to get new models. Minimally they could just give Ogors a plastic Butcher, Maneaters from Warcry, discontinued all resin models when the next battletome comes out and that it until 5th edition.

Maybe rules-wise, but wouldn't surprise me if we see the box with all the warscrolls, some (if not all) the minis from the follow-up wave (including the first narrative book if they follow the 40k steps) and even a roadmap.

From the naming of the building, and the trailer, it sounds like it is going to be a "big" piece of terrain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate how right this feels. I could see 4th being the edition of "most everything Finecast gets a plastic update or shown the door." This will probably be the edition where Firebellies and Yhettis either get built on or scrapped. If they get scrapped, they might circle back to them later in some way. In an optimistic view, if Firebellies were cut from Ogors, I could see them getting a remix as friends of the Sun Grots. Yhettis are pretty tied to the everwinter, though, and they'd really feel like a loss to me. They occupy a similar niche as Gorgers, though, as "lanky ogor sized infantry" so who knows. I love them; I'd rather see 'em in plastic. 1 hour ago, novakai said: Generally they like releasing a new army in October/November but they have been doing these year long teasing of new armies before they release. Example would be Votann and CoS. (Edit: also Bonereapers) that said it sounds like 2025 will be Emperor Children’s if Valrek new rumor is true (barring any internal problems) 2 hours ago, Ejecutor said: Chorfs have been confirmed to be the 4th edition faction. I also think mid 2025 is their release date. 2 hours ago, HCMistborn said: I agree, I also think there is a good chance of a "new" army in Spring/Summer of 2025 such as Chaos Duardin or Malerion Elves. They seem to like to use the "middle year" of the edition to launch something new, but the timing varies based on what they are releasing for other systems. NGL, I could see Chorfs getting a Votann styled drop. If they spent a year previewing little snippits of chaos tech or pointed stars, I could see some players getting a bit vexxed if they'd built up an idea of what those things should be for their own chaos armies. I could see one rumor engine of a hat, or a silhouette closer to an announcement, before smacking everyone with a full "first wave" series of previews. Much like the Squats, it'd give people no time to overthink "man they're really going to bring back those guys?" and just get excited about what's new at face-value Or not! If they wind up making them real close to their TWW iteration, I could see them rumor engine'ing bits of semi-familiar stuff to get the ball rolling. All depends; I'm excited for Chorfs! The Lumineth can't stay the only faction in the setting with dumb hats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Red King Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 44 minutes ago, Clan's Cynic said: Terrain in 4.0 preview. Since cover and obscuring both specify "behind or wholly on" does that mean they don't need to be wholly behind? What is behind? If one model from either unit has the terrain between them?

The construction ones we got at the start of 3e was interesting but it needed more variety, which never came aside from the aqualith.

They’re above the terrain and are shooting down at you. Except the Nighthaunt, who just dome you through the terrain because Ghost Bolts.

Hope they get a replacement gimmick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neverchosen Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 It is a really cool terrain piece but seems fairly big for a starter set, I am very tempted by it but recently purchased some houses for a little village and I am debating between a fortress or an abbey as a centre piece for my town.
