Gareth 🍄 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 (edited) If you missed it in the rumour thread, Sons of Behemet warscroll cards have popped up on a shipping manifest, same way the Ogor Mawpot and a few other items leaked a while back: https://cn.panjiva.com/Asia-Pacific-Offset-Ltd/1367220 So excited!

Oceanic_Eyes Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 What kind of rumor engines are we thinking for these boys? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walrustaco Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Big cannon and armour plate. I dont think gut plate because that's OUR thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boytoy Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 looks more like a shield than a gutplate tbh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Public Universal Duardin Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 The first looks like some sorts of (possibly temple) pillar used as a weapon. Battering ram? Mace? The second seems very Ogor - perhaps it is as some theorise, that this will be a multi-faction force but I so want this to be a complete force instead of a 'Dogs of War' situation.

Death1942 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 If they update giants for destruction I really hope they update it for chaos as well. A minor tweak to the warscroll could do wonders to see them being taken again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Gargant with a big Cannon. You mean something like this. Never really finished that guy, but an Gargant army could be a quite intesting concept. 3 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitloze Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 If they have shields then we can expect a 3+ save Gargant maybe. Oof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if they were only for Destruction due to the lore behind Behemat's death and all that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they go full Imperial Knights (a 2k army with 4-6 models), they will need a 3+. And a save after the save. And a pile of wounds. And a lot of attacks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep a lot of the cool grabby stuff that let giants kill unit leaders (good against mortek guard I'd imagine), dial down the drunken falling over to only happening on a double 1 or something.

Pitloze Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I doubt they'll be as fast as stonehorns. That will probably set them apart. They might get the 6 inch in pile in that the bonegrinder also gets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatherTurin Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Honestly, I hope they completely reimagine gargants for this army. Keep the “f that one guy in particular” attack (will be helpful for a low model count army to clear screens that are spread too far), but ditch the drunken stumbling stuff. Say that the solo giants in other armies are the rejects or something. Some humor is good (and let’s be honest, if it’s destruction there will be some goofy antics), but I want these guys to be terrifying. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eevika Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Its a destruction army so most likely fluffy and bad. Allegiance ability "drunk" in your hero phase roll a dice for each friendly unit and on a 1 they cant move as they are too drunk. 1 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothmaug Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 So what do we know of Behemet? I know some have speculated that they are going the imperial knight route and having an army with just a few big models. But.... could there be other spawn of Behemet? A lesser giant race? Firbolgs, firmirs, formorians, or some other mythological race? Or different giant flavors, earth, stone, fire, swamp, etc., with some being perhaps ogor sized. An army of just a few models suffers from action economy compared to hordes of lesser models, I can’t imagine the giants going it alone unless they are a mercenary force. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aleguzzler Gargants could still be their own drunken thing continuing what solo Giants have been over many editions of Warhammer, but it would be more interesting if the Sons of Behemat Gargants were a bit of a departure from that.

We basicly know the following. We have the Godbeast Behemat , who was killed in the Scabrous Sprawl. Behemat had a Father called Ymnog who was killed by Sigmar in the Age of Myth. And we have the article of Aleguzzler Gargants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddpainting Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I REALLY hope you can do Chaos and/or Destruction version of this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothmaug Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 So basically Behemet and the gargants are from Ghyran. Behemet was a primal nature god made of living stone. Reminds me of Privateer Press Trollbloods or Discworld trolls who were partially made of earth and stone. Perhaps we’re going to see an order aligned giant faction from Ghyran? Or the sons of Behemet could be entirely different than we expect, like living stone constructs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nezzhil Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I hope they include the Fimirs like great builders and masons of Destruction. They were slaved by the Order and after Archaon liberated them, they become the Fomoroid in the Chaos army. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if there were some kind of hate towards both Order and Chaos, like some warscrolls get to do X depending on faction they are fighting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
