having an actual model kit (and a full Plastic unit) release for Gitmob gives more creedence to the speculation. It isn’t the same as the speculation for something like Silent people where most people are basing them on fluff and some pictures from Underworlds. it also because the Snarlfang rider was a pretty surprising and odd release for Gitz. A stand-alone unit that didn’t have much similarity or synergy with the rest of Gitz (bar a few of the universal Gitz buffs). So it does make it interesting to speculate on why GW release them as they did since it rare for them to do such an an isolated unit release.

Replacing mortal wounds with auto-wound or 'becomes 2 hits' abilities would be much better to create impactful shooting that still has counterplay. Mortal Wounds would work best with heroes, monsters, spells, and defensive units like Liberators (a unit that has few attacks and is meant to take it on the chin, but due to mortal wounds still has the potential to do some damage on the return swing.) Offensive units should have more attacks, deal more damage and have access to abilities that improve their offensive ability, but no mortal wounds (the Kroxigor warscroll demonstrates this perfectly.)

They might circle back and show off the Reclusian warscroll. It's the only one we haven't seen for the new model reveals. Edit: Correction, I don't think they showed clan rats either. Showing off both of them might be worth an article.

Seeing we are starting to see stuff that is not part of the trailer, and having in mind that the more units you show the less impact would have the final reveal, I think we will see two heroes. One for each faction and nothing on the last week. Maybe a shadow or a little bit of a bigger mini, as they are doing in the last previews.

I'd love to see perhaps a reveal or teaser of "What else in 4th Edition." See some hints about who else or what else is being updated during 4th's early life.

Here's some food for idle speculation. So far we've seen four models/units from the launch box: Liberators, Clanrats, Reclusians, and now the new Warplock-Engineer. We will see the full contents of the box around May 16-18. That still leaves 3(!) weeks of reveals, an uneven number. What will we see over the next three weeks? Next week could a Stormcast character. What about Skaven the week after? And what about Monday the 13.? No reveal, perhaps?

I’m Glad Companies like Punga keep the Forgotten and abandoned side of the hobby alive.

Yeah if they revive them, they're in need of a glow up haha. Pretty bad sculpts honestly, underneath is just vacant of detail too. Rough times 😅

They show it's time, but definitely it is really nice concept!

Yeah these were what I was referring to. I want these back as a kit! I sold my WQ Silver Tower a few years back and regret not parting it out and keeping these goobers.

My thoughts are the other way around. They could have stopped with Rippas warband. But why reimagine a whole unit with the Gitmob design if they are just planning this unit? They could have just put a moonclan or hobgrot on top instead.

@DD-Lord Our local prophet has liked several Gitmob posts. And why would they release just one random kit? I can't wait to see what they get! I'd love them to be rolled into Kruleboyz somehow but think they'll stay in gsg and that'll get rebranded into a new grot coalition tome or with any luck become their own thing. I never cared for the grot scuttlers, like at all. They're just too much imo. I could also see see Spiderfang getting rolled into Kruleboyz in a new and creepy direction. We'll see. 😁

Such is the nature of this thread, to constantly speculate & dream, high on hopium and fuelled by pictures from Underworld cards or obscure references seeded in GW books. I think you are correct. I also think (with regard to the recent BoC incident) that there are many factions destined to exist in the lore for infinity without playable models.

I really prefer the webspinner design a lot more with the multiple eyes. The extra legs just always looked so weird to me.

They could have no ideas in the past, but they could easily come back without having to be a 100% copy of their WHFB counterpart. So literally sky is the limit. You can make whatever you want with them.

There's nothing on the web mentioning it. Also, the legs are different. I think that one is correct.

Well and eventually it turns out to be Destruction Battletome Silent people 😁

You are right, I've forgotten the Soulscryer in the Vanguard box. So, it's 14.

I'll be painfully honest with my thoughts here. I really don't understand why so many of you here believe the Gitmob is coming back; they were squated for the same reason the Greenskins were; they were old models without any new ideas or concepts to expand them beyond just that. And you seem to base your belief about their return entirely on the existence of the Snarlfangs. I seriously don't get it.

I wish they were, but nope. Thralls and Reavers have different sprues.

Thralls and Reavers are dual builds of the same kit.

We already had those with the from Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower. A unit they desperately need to bring back.

The one in the left-bottom corner is a cool concept. A mix between Goblin and Spider would be very AoS.

I know it is technically an AoS model, but this is my colour scheme test for my Men-at-Arms. I might pick a slightly different dark green as the pot has gone wired with age and despite lots of shaking and such I could not get it to be truly smooth and homogonous, which is fine for the cloth, but less so for the shield.

So I'm currently doing a little project on making some high elves with some 3d print models I want an excuse to use and doing some conversions and getting use out of lumineth bits as I love some of their models and aesthetic but are far more likely to utilise them in ToW than AoS. Anyway I'm currently trying to get an idea for which units are really worth looking at as the high elves seem quite different to the bretonnians or chaos that I've played games with. I'm assuming it's best to feature a variety of the different specialist units in lists rather than going heavy on one particular route. In terms of princes/nobles, I was thinking a nagarythe theme might fit what I'm going for but I'm not sure how worth their particular virtue is considering it loses the ability to utilise mounts. I'm not sure if the heroes will hold up too well as foot units.
