I don't think so, The Silent People have been proven to be Insectoid and Kragnos definitely doesn't isn't that. He was also trapped under a mountain, where as The Silent People live in the many sentient mountains across Ghur. It could be possible he was trapped in Beastgrave by the amber or Silent People, and now that they left due to the early awakening Kragnos is free. Or they could be entirely unrelated.

You could be right but my feeling is that the figure in the video is an on looker and not Kragnos himself. My fond hope is that this heralds a AoS3 starter box of silent ones vs. Kurnothi.

I've been thinking about it, and the skull might be for the new 40k orks. The Ur-grub is still a big mystery but I hope it's connected to The Silent People.

Mutton Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Don't think Kragnos has anything to do with the Silent Ones unfortunately. That said, I'm going to reiterate my extreme interest in seeing an insectoid faction in AoS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile Skaven and Lizardmen are both very original in their interrelations of these. Sometimes its not if its never been done before but the combination of everything adding up to make it truly unique its almost impossible to do any sort of original race in terms of looks because its all been done. The problem is the Thri-Keen were not fleshed out as in depth as they could have been in my opinion like the battle tomes in Sigmar go into so much lore and depth and then the rpg's add to it even more so we get a functioning society for each of these races. It always felt like thri-keen were background race without much depth. Lizardmen are just two western takes on South American things smashed together. "Lost Vale" type stories put dinosaurs surviving in a secluded valley in the Amazon rainforest, combined with stories ascribing weird science and/or prophecy to Aztec/Olmec/Mayan civilisations. Skaven seem more original, but I haven't looked into them much. Don't like 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying that you are wrong but orruks in 40k are a some type of "fungus" and they have organs and bones. Even the old warhammer fantasy skeletons have wind instruments to... blow? and other skeletons could hear the sound of it because it helped them to win their fights too. I assume that rule of cool prevails over realism. Edited March 22, 2021 by Beliman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadeton Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 All very fair points! I particularly like skeleton trumpets, since you need both breath and lips to make a trumpet sound. I've always just assumed that the trumpets are inherently magical - they can emit sound (presumably some kind of horrifying, unearthly scream) without actually being blown like a normal trumpet, in a similar way to how a skeleton can move around despite not having any muscles. Having an exoskeleton and an endoskeleton could help the Silent People overcome the scaling problem that otherwise puts a hard limit on the size of invertebrates before they collapse under their own weight, I suppose! So they wouldn't actually be insectoid but they could still look insectoid, which is the main thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MitGas Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) If army of darkness taught us one thing, it's that drums and flutes are a skeleton's favorite instruments. 😎 Edited March 22, 2021 by MitGas 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grim Beasties Posted April 6, 2021 Author Share Posted April 6, 2021 New bit of Silent People info, seems they are good smiths, making armour to augment there abilities and from the look of it may have four eyes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Me-dude-sa Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 (edited) Noticing a lot of people in the AoS community talking about the Silent People, don't know if this is siginaling a soon release but it does seem like people are into our buggy boys. Which makes me a little hopeful that GW may at least take not of this and do something with them down the line.

Grim Beasties Posted April 25, 2021 Author Share Posted April 25, 2021 I think our most recent rumor indicates that the insect egg is actually a Sprite for a Sylvaneth rather than anything related to the Silent People. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see them being tied together. Possibly the Silent People are related to the Sylvaneth and Kragnos in some unknown way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erdemo86 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 (edited) What are silent people? The pic looks elvish to me? Are silent people some kind of elves? For me it looks 100% like a sylvaneth Model. Elven ears, and the upper thing looks like a tree Edited April 25, 2021 by Erdemo86 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
