Hmm.. you must be new to this internet thing to perceive this as revealing cleavage.. 😆

Hold your enthousiasm guys and gals, it’s fun to get excited but this isn’t a fact, it’s still wishful thinking. Best to expect little and be pleasantly surprised. Kurnothi, for instance, received the mention of “something soon”. Were it to be revealed at Adepticon, i would assume “VERY soon” would have been said. Same with TOW… (I know.. I WANT to be excited too)

Doubt it would be another underworld warband again, and a “surprise heres a kurnothi army for AoS” seems very unlikely this year; i would assume a warcry warband? thanks for the info Whitefang!

Remember the Kurnothi? …me neither 😞

Chaos dwarf in total war saddens me as it somewhat kills the odds we see their incarnation in AoS. It does open the door for the Old World return, but lest be honest before new chaos dwarf kits come out it will be many years, probably after the initial enthousiasm for the old world and well into the dark years of dividing the fantasy community in two, hurthing both. Those will be dark times…

A S2D battlebox with Gitz makes no sense to me. Brand new S2D army box, new models shown, and no hero entry in the battletome is lacking a model. These battleboxes always bring a new hero at the least to drive sales, I don’t see a new hero being added to a battletome that isn’t technically released yet. gits vs something else? (FeC?) Possible, but I question ANY battlebox being released before Xmas this year considering what little time is left.

With regards to next AoS faction updates, we tend to get a range update per … 4? books. Considering the numerous RE about seraphon, I would guess that Seraphon get the next range update. Since we just got S2D as a big update, hot on heels of Votann and IG which brought in a lot of new sprues (and thus factory time), I would venture the following guess (*tinfoil hat ON) Q1 2023: Gitz, Blades of Khorne and KO each with minimal updates (slap a new hero and out the door you go; 40k getting World eaters major sprue allowance) Q1.5: mandatory yearly DoK update Q2: seraphon big update, FeC and SBG on the short stick Q3: omens arc for 40k and 10th eathing all the production space here. BoC short stick (same cruel treatment as skaven). SGL shortstick Q4 Isn’t it about time we get another Lumineth tome? Also, new Cities of sigmar big release. Talk about a new faction for 2024, my money being on “Coalition of Hashut” chorfs in Q2 2024. Lets discuss!

Ah indeed, thank you!

On another topic, S2D leaks, there is a recent picture showing Archaon and many many warriors (2-page spread). Sorry I can't post this picture as I believe it would violate forum rules (correct me otherwise). Upper left corner of this picture, near Archaon's wings, we see a Chimera-type creature with a model on it. The beast seems to have 2 heads (third would be hidden perhaps), and I don't recognize that model from the old "Lord/sorceror on chimera. Would a keen eye who knows what picture I am referring to tell me if this is a new, unseen model, or some old model I just could not find on the webstore?

Their rules for AoS are plain, rather lackluster and uninspired. Maybe I want chorfs to be interesting too much though…

I think you are right on the money on about everything. I’m not convinced on the eschin night runners but it’s a fair guess. I also expect 2 units for Sylvaneth as WC mentionned unitS for aos. Archer tree-revenants and some cavalry are my guesses. The horn is clearly on a small piece of scenery/tower made of stakes. Sorry BoC; warcry terrain sounds right. WH+ showed that the other model from the sorceror is a khorne terminator, based on the Mark Gibbons art of olden days. So the AoS model has to be this sorceror. Not sure what a full day of AoS (or 40k) means; they have about 1-2hrs of video content to show, then what?

Getting into Maggotkin here with a rules question: lord of blight granting a shooting attack to BKs. Does that allow every model in the BK unit to shoot using the profile, or only 1 shooting attack for the entire BK unit? thanks!

I am contemplating making an AoS 3.0 army with 4 mega gargants. As I am just starting to read about this army, I thought I’d gather thoughts on the viability of such a list. Can it be somewhat competitive in your opinion? What 4 mega garbants would you pick i. 3.0? thanks for sharing!

With the 3.0 changes, I struggle to understand whether using S2D chaos warriors as our battelline remains possible, as the rules seem to state that you have to use models from your faction (i.e. battletome). What are your thoughts on this?

Why would we suddently believe a wildly debatable shortlist of rumors from an unknown source, listing controversial items from “a close friend” as though being close to soneone makes them credible🤨 I wouldn’t worry about invalidating entirely the entire Broken Realms content so quickly after release, I find this not only too drastic, but essentially cloning the 40k model. If I wanted to play the 40k ruleset, I’d play 40k.

The video of spoilers claims thir source stated box set in June with advanced rulebook, and official release in July. I also share skepticism for June; with how crammed their revealed new models are, coupled with a second release hiatus, I doubt they can cram soulblight, kragnos, kroak & BR book(s?) AND new boxset for 3.0 by end of June...

Speak for yourself sir! There are no new ODORS around where I’m standing.

This. This is the backstage insight I come here for.

Beautiful; love the contrasting snow with your colors. Kudos!

Thank you for your insight! Your list is exxentially what I was pondering about to play casual/semi competitive. You really addressed my ponderings wonderfully. Would you consider enlisting an enrapturess as a starting hero? what are your thoughts, within the confines of your list, about the Epitome? In 1000pts it is pricy but until I get to 2000 and afford the points for Glutos, would you recommend an epitome hero (potentially the only hero of a 1000 list)? thinking about: - 1 Contorted epitome - 11 blissbarb archers - 5 chaos warriors - 5 blissbarb seekers - 5 slickblade seekers - Seeker cavalcade battalion my other thought is to drop battalion in favour of this: - 1 Bladebringer on hellflayer // Epitome? - Infernal enrapturess - 11 blissbarb archers - 5 chaos warriors - 5 blissbarb seekers - 5 slickblade seekers What would your recommend? I only play painted so I want a clear plan before I paint things I won’t use... Thanks in advance

WIP with my tablet potato camera. Thinking of a desert-y style for bases to keep with the arabian theme...

Magnificent and inspirationnal, love your work. Kudos! Motivates me to finish my 750 pts hedonites project. Will try and post ‘em in a couple weeks.

Thanks

I am currently working on hedonites models and with the upcoming release of Be’lakor, am considering a mixed force of chaos, considering I feel the hedonites list needs a good point adjustment to feel effective. So in the meantime I want to use these nice new models alongside other chaos modes I have. I would like to use amy slaanesh mortals alongside a maggotkin batallion. Can this be done? Do I need to run this as S2D with nurgle and slaanesh? Are you allowed to use batallions from other books within another battletome as I suggest?

I am currently working on hedonites models and with the upcoming release of Be’lakor, am considering a mixed force of chaos, with slaanesh and nurgle. If I take a S2D list and add my slaanesh units and nurgle daemons, can I take battallions from each of those respective battletomes into my S2D army? I get that I won’t have access to faction specific things such as exploding 6’s for slaanesh, or the wheel of maggotkin of nurgle. Best case scenario for me would be to play a maggotkin battallion along with some Hedonites units and Belakor. Under the current rules for Belakor/S2D, is it possible? Or are battalions restricted to their own faction/battletome? thanks for clarifying this for me!
