  1. That was shut down with somewhat fascist efficiency. I just don't understand why this forum sees it as such an issue to post genuine rumour based leaks when many, many others do not. Dakka, faeit, BoLS, war of sigmar etc. If the owner has a financial interest in creating rules influenced by GW non-binding wishes then this should be declared. Otherwise, I do not see why we cannot have a vote on the topic to allow membership to decide whether it is a policy we agree with.
  2. If there is an expectation for this forum to be publicly / crowd funded (which seems to be the case), should there not be a democratic process to determining a code of conduct? Linking to or showing already leaked images is not the same as leaking them yourself, newspaper's print dubiously sourced material all the time on the basis they were not directly responsible for attaining it. A fan group should not be bullied by a manufacturer into complying with their wishes where no law has been broken, ultimately anything GW "wishes" but cannot legally enforce ought to be non-binding. I do not think they would have legal ground to pursue the forum for sharing previously leaked material, as no significant legal challenge is or has been made to websites choosing to share it. If this forum were a complete private entity it could set rules on a whim, but when you're asking for money I believe members have a right to their view point. I call for a people's vote!
  3. So glad Imperial Fists get their own box, we definitely needed that. I mean I thought you could just paint the normal ones yellow but...
  4. Turned out to be true then... I had no idea about karanak though, really happy about him.
  5. I wish people would stop harping on about new slaanesh models, you've seen a herald of stuff coming. You should be jumping out of your skin with happiness. Blackstone fortress looks cool, abaddon hope all ye who enter?
  6. https://www.warhammer-community.com/2018/11/01/1st-nov-the-latest-warhammer-underworlds-organised-play-packsgw-homepage-post-4/ This could be meaningless but the alt art here includes a gor / beast of chaos. Generally Underwords art only depicts units included in warbands. As such it could suggest a beastmen inclusion within the dark oath warband, or a future beasts of chaos warband. (season 3?).
  7. Be cool if they had to fight new plastic noise marines and khorne berzerkers.
  8. Next weekend is Blood and Glory, there is a proper studio preview event. I think Wrath and Rapture will be shown and then be up for pre-order not long after. Moonclan is ready to go product wise, but might not be for awhile. This is what I've heard.
  9. No. Discussing when things will be revealed and the reasons why is part of this thread and has been for a long time. I get people being annoyed if its totally off topic but reading speculation relating to the rumours is part of the fun. It's different to wishlisting, which is hoping for stuff that has no basis in known information. Saying "I hope we see more about wrath and Rapture at spiel" is part of an ongoing discussion relating to the rumour that this product will be released within the next month. Same with stuff about moonclan etc. The real rumours are here, read between lines, check track records with posting, find the origin of discussions. There is no fun to rumours if they were just statements about unreleased products from people in the know.
  10. Was any release mentioned anywhere for that? It does look interesting. Also; possibly the dark stormcast pictured are the anvilgard symbol faction and the pink snake is privateers. Deffo not Slaanesh as I previously stated based on the 3 enemy factions thing.
  11. Pink snake for the board game will be slaanesh I bet
  12. Step 1) take dragon boi and some bloosstokers Step 2) whip him real good and fly as far as you can towards the enemy Step 3) enjoy your to charge bonus from being whipped. Step 4) charge and use your massive base to get into combat with as many units as poss. Step) 5 split attacks carefully Step) 6 win?
  13. https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-EU/Vorgaroth-the-Scarred-and-Skalok-the-Skull-Host-of-Khorne-2018 I could go on holiday for the price of this model. It seems like the most obscene warscroll I've ever seen. He would eat nagash for breakfast even at an absurd 1.2k. This guy is the true Everchosen. The Money Chosen.
  14. I want Lotann to get a rules rework to become the synergy for thralls we are missing. Also better battalions would help. Even then thralls are fairly similar to bloodletters, who don't see a lot of play.
  15. Other than what's been said before... Two plastic heralds for khorne and slaanesh, new fiend and plastic bloodhounds. And that release schedules are very flexible so predicting exact time frames is difficult. I'm not a proper rumour monger I'm afraid. I just pry and investigate as much as I can.
  16. It's not for idoneth. I would love it if it was but no, the design consistency isn't there (from someone who has painted a lot of idoneth this year). It is an already painted model though. You can see from the textures etc. From what I know about new slaanesh it isn't that. It could be moonclan but I don't know much about that side of things sadly.
  17. Deepkin were rumoured about a year before release, but that's rare. There was little about DoK until right before they came out. I expect wrath and Rapture in Nov so if I'm off about the herald we will know soon.
  18. It's been reported elsewhere. I don't know where the original source would be but I'm pretty confident personally.
  19. And for an actual rumour... The slaanesh herald in wrath and Rapture is a daemonette playing a harp.
  20. The aim is for a January faq, however it isn't known if there will be point increases at this time. Dark oath is an update to what people liked about chaos undivided in old warhammer. Esp gives an insight into life in the realms for humans living outside of order, tribes that grew up under the age of chaos. Maybe more "human" than the god specific bloodbound, blight Kings etc.
  21. You have to think about what the costs of creating new models are, not just the design and manufacturing process. After a sprue is cast that has to be transported to stores and warehouses all over the world. That involves a huge amount of supply chain work Inc customs, fuel, third parties etc. People who are collecting an army would love it if new models just occasionally came out, but with the exception of a few examples such as space marines or stormcast it might only be 3 or 4% of your total consumer base interested in a given faction (bone splitters or fyrrslayers for example). If you create a whole new launch a lot of your profit is coming from people spending hundreds on buying the whole range for a new army. Consumers aren't likely to spend that money on a whole range because of one new model. This is why releasing a codex or tome without new models can be so cost effective as well. A new book which makes an army desirable can sell existing plastic that may already have been sitting in warehouses for a decade. How many WHFB kits for beasts of chaos were sitting unused in sites all over the world? New boxing and art etc is much easier to produce on demand than hefty plastic.
  22. I heard something about an Ogor battletome coming sooner rather than later.
  23. And you could take a soup list for LoN that used zombies instead of skeletons or hex wraiths instead of bladeghast and it might also do 3/5. The point is you'd be deliberately playing a sub optimal list. The original argument was that a soup battletome makes this more likely, which as I say is not the case. You can always chose to play sub optimal, it's just the wrong choice at a competitive level. At a casual level everything in LoN is usable and I would say more enjoyable than in the old grand alliance death thst existed prior. Armies with lots of unit choice fighting for similar roles like LoN or stormcast result in some units seeing a lot of play and others dying out. In tiny armies like Ironjawz or Fyrrslayers this is not the case as you are literally limited to what exists. . It has nothing to do with soup.
