A stupid distinction but it does matter for rules purposes *shrug* Ouor 2.0 coxes is going the way of the dodo in the next month, I wouldnt worry too much about it. Big Waaagh is going to have to be reworked to include kruelboyz allegiance powers anyhow. I equate it to the soulblight book, which had lots of bits that didnt make sense, until we saw the 3rd edition ruleset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arzalyn Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I don't expect more hobgrots, but if we end getting more it's possible they have an ability exclusive for them in the Kruleboyz allegiance. Even if we don't get more hobgrots it's possible we get a sub allegiance that gives a good ability and make them a much more interesting unit. Sure warscrolls + points are a huge deal (assuming neither will change in the book), but one or two strong abilities or buffs can do a lot of work and make something stronger than the warscroll alone would suggest.

Clan's Cynic Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 It may be that Hobgrots end up being further diversified in future waves, perhaps even reaching the point they can be run as a standalone sub-faction the same way Ironjawz, Bonesplitters and Kruelboys are now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their one of two reasons I got into Warhammer Fantasy instead of just 40k(the other being Tomb Kings). 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting the feeling we're going to get one Enormous centerpiece model, with a platform covered in orks (or grots) loaded with long spears and ballista, either on top of, or pulled by, some huge swamp beast. Model Wise I hope its the size of a mega-gargant, so there's something out there to rival/challenge Brodd's children Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arzalyn Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Sadly we got just some new models revealed rather than everything. Good that what they revealed is really awesome! Here is everything showed today: - Gutrippaz have other weapon profile and commander/banner/musician options - Boltboyz also have a commander - Some happy grotz ridding a troggoth as a monster unit - 2 hero options, one named and one generic - Battletome (WarCom says it will go on pre-order August). The extra options for the Gutrippaz and Boltboyz point to new warscrolls for both of them. Considering how bland the Dominion ones were, lets hope we get some cool abilities on the new ones! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustAsPlanned Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 So because GW have decided to pull a GW, we still haven’t seen all the Kruleboy kits. My guess is that there’s still: A Hobgrot hero Gnarltoof cavalry Swamp Wyvern Now the Swamp Wyvern is all but confirmed (I mean, just look at the BT cover), but honestly I can see the other two being up in the air. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vurtias Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Did they mention if the Boltboy Boss is a unit leader or a seperate leader option (Like how the Evocator kit makes a Knight Incantor)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warboss Gorbolg Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 If Fellwater are part of the faction then I might not resist any longer. Hard to believe that they will not be based on the themes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maogrim Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I'm thinking about switching all the black cloth on the Kruleboyz to off-Whites and sand- or cream colored. Then go for sand dune bases. I think going for desert instead of swamps would be a great fit for the bandit- or raider theme they"ve got going on. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking about going Hyshian- pale green skin, yellow shields with glowing electric blue eyes and maybe slightly blue tinted robes.

I think we won't get anything Hob Grot related kits if I'm honest. I think we will get cav (pretty much all factions get cav of some kind), the feathered wyvern and I think it'll be some kind of hero(es) on foot. So far all the heroes are mounted on a big creature outside of dominion, whether that's new murknobz, shamans, or some kind of taskmaster/slaver.
