Hopefully we get some answers in tonights warhammer event. I'm already all in for kruleboyz, but that's due to 1. The fact they look similar to lord of the rings orcs, especially the Killaboss on Great gnashtooth, and 2. The Legion of azgorh, one of the two armies I have, no longer exists and I like to have 2 armies for variety.

That being said, I'm really hoping we get some indication of future direction tonight, especially as I want to know what I can replace the hobgrotz with or if they can be made decent with future models/rules. Hell, I'd settle for them being battleline in Kruleboyz specific armies, at least then they have a spot as a cheap filler unit that can absorb charges

i doubt it, tonight is for warhammer + though so i doubt that they will go into anything else but the new streaming service. they rarely diverge from the main subject

from their point of view promoting that Streaming service is probably just as important

i mean they already reveal two other units (the breaker boss and the man-skewer) that already way more orrucks then Hobgrotz are you expecting that the next 6 units to all be Hobgrotz?

i don't there a big group waiting really, since FOMO and limited edition was going to keep people on the fence from waiting to long to go in. it was more of a suprise that the anti-scalper measure actually work to prevent it being sold out. i can see people waiting to purchase the starter set that is probably cheaper and more reasonable for newbies

it just AoS is not going to sell at the level of Indomitus and GW not really been great lately

 

There have been persistent rumours of Hobgrotz cavalry. Also they are said to be mechanical specialists. So I could see a cavalry unit, a warmachine and a hero or two. On the other hand we could get none of those things. 

As for the Dominion situation. I check every day to see if the coins are still there. If those sell out, I'll have a decision to make but until then there's no rush. I can't be the only person to think like that, can I?

your probably not the only one but i don't think it the reason that Dominon is not sold out yet or the reason people are perceiving that its not selling well.

woops it was beast skewer and breaka boss

r/Kruleboyz - Beast-Skewer Killbow

r/Kruleboyz - Breaks-Boss

I somehow missed both of these, they look amazing. If they actually do have gnashtooth riders coming in the future then Kruleboyz have hit pretty much every one of my wants for the faction. Add in some two-handed sword weilding berserker style units and its just LotR orcs in AoS

As a 20-year+ collector of O&G/Destruction, I've been surprisingly uninspired  so far. It's mostly the hobgrotz. They just feel unnecessary to me. If we were getting new Gitmob instead of hobgrotz I would probably be all in, or even just more orruks I would prefer.

I also don't love the lower body length/proportions of the orruks. As a result, I'll probably sit on the sidelines until we see the whole range.

The breaka-boss just seems silly to me, and not in the fun Gloomspite way. 

There are definitely parts of the range that I really like, but not enough yet to get me to start collecting yet another Destruction faction.

I don't think it's significantly different from other orcs, it's just that their pose is different.

Their proportions are one of the main things I like about them. They remind me of this sculpt. 464091450_Screenshot_20210623-160739_FreeAdblockerBrowser.jpg.d1e39c2f264b03a1b933c70e55ee8a8b.jpg

This is one of my favorite anatomical representations of any orc across all of any fantasy settings and I'm absolutely thrilled Gdubs took the route they did for Krules!!

Shout out to the artist(s) who designed them! If anyone knows, please share! Im almost postive they did some of the new gloomspite sculpts as well. You can really see it in the faces. 

Aelves have long sexy legs, go play aelves. 😜😄 just playing. 

I can not wait to get these guys under the brush and on the table. Going to slow burn em though and really make each one as fantastic as i can. 

Also 🤞 for a Murknob elite infantry kit.

So was trying to pin the tiny parts that they had. Amazing range though, sad how they're gone. 

Oh god, yes... And those tiny ankles! Had several Griffin models break at that exact spot. But some armies were just amazing and creative. Hated their take on Dwarves though.

I am of a simple mind. I see sadistic orky, see filthy nasty hobgoblins ready to stab them shinz. I hear rumors of big croc-dragons, bat-scorpions. My small gloomspite-esque mind just looks at my wallet, “where dat money gone?” 

i hope they get some co-op rules/battalion with gloomspite as well in the future. Their styles contribute each other greatly. Will try them with all my destruction armies. I’m so excited i just went to my local games workshop and said, do me 2 of dat orky starter boxes please. Money gone.

From the designer's notes articles today at WarCom:

Thanks, Sam! Make sure that you pick up the new Dominion boxed set and join us on the 3rd of July when we’ll be hosting a dazzling celebration for the launch of the new edition of Warhammer Age of Sigmar.

Looks like we gonna have a reveal show just like they did with Indomitus last year! Hope they finally reveal all our new models!/units!

Now if only those gitz get a proper boss. Those rules for them well… no i guess their points are just too high for what they offer. With a proper boss we can start stabbin and chuck them explody boxies. For now, put a killaboss near them so that they litterally don’t give a rats ass when they die and start chuckin them nades.

The Kruelboyz are growing on me, I think the models in real life will impress much more than the preview pics (like Kragnos, MUCH cooler in real life, even his eyebrow-horns).

I also think their shooty poison weapons will be a terror on the table top, and I really hope they can ally with the Gitz, and that the Troggoth has the Troggoth keyword to be allies with my Ogors.  

If they don't get their own tome, they'll probably be a whole Greenskinz tome with the Ironjawz, Bonesplitterz and Kruelboyz.  Seems like that could be a bit bloated of a tome, but I guess there really aren't that many Warclans units as is are there?  Seems like 10-15 total.  Add in 10 Kruelboyz and another subfaction, and maybe Kragnos for some reason?  That's a good full versatile tome!

Got a clear look at the lore in the dominion insert I posted some weeks ago. Rather than clans those are social divisions, which could point to some units. I wonder if we gonna see more beast-breaakaz beyond the boss and other kind of siege weapons they will have beyond the balista/crossbows.
