    Judging by his reactions its Callis and Toll, Darkoath Riders, and Lumineth River Temple vs Nighthaunt for Warcry

    Darkoath riders would be so wild.  Wow.  I've been building my StD toward a Darkoath-themed force for a while and every new unit, even as a Warcry or Underworlds release, has made me happy.

    I saw Whitefang reacting to the 4-5 months wait for Skaven, my dear @Garrac. There's your precious signal.

    After years of being drip-fed releases, to any Skaven all hints are precious.  Yet the children of the Great Horned Rat remain patient.  Soon-soon...

    Are there any Beasts of Chaos rumours at all?

    I still believe Beasts will be phased out and moved entirely to Old World, but it would devastate me.  They just have so little narrative presence in the setting.  I wish someone at GW would show them the love they deserve.

    The last "and a unit of 10 Rats" are Clan Rats to me, but that bit is quite vague.

    Perhaps they're not Clanrats, but new Giant Rat models? That would make more sense than replacing the current Clanrat sculpts, and we could certainly use new Giant Rats.

  3. Unless he left the Order, Toll is a witch hunter.

    Also, while I agree Darrock shouldn't really count in a tally of Cities named characters (not anymore), I don't think we should be so quick to discount Hexbane.  After all, he can be taken even if he was an Underworlds character first.

    I wonder if we'll see the boxed set before Christmas?  The early boxes usually have a pretty quick (relatively) release after reveal, right?

    Then it's about three more months until the full release? 

    Went back and looked at the Seraphon reveal and release.  The army box was shown at Adepticon - March 23rd.  The army box went up for pre-order April 22nd and the full release pre-order was May 27th.

    If this release follows the same formula, it may be that we'll have a... memorable Christmas feast to be sure.

    Anyone have any speculation to the size of the Kurnothi release that is coming at some point? 
    I would assume since it'll be a pseudo sub-faction the Sylvaneth that we might see a Maw-Grunta esque size release wave?

    I would like to think we would get 
    -Kurnoth
    -Woodland Aelves dual-kit (similar to the character from Cursed City) I would suspect the design would be similar to archers and blade-dancers from ole WHFB
    -Beetle monster kit, no basis for this.. just hope
    -Elite animal-aelves kit (this could easily be a Warcry Warband too)
    -Hero on foot

    Honestly, I expect a Warcry warband at most.

  6. I hate to be the wet blanket here, but can we move this conversation to another thread?  This is a conversation which should - and must - be discussed, but by its very nature it's something that won't find a definitive consensus.  There is so much minutiae about the forty years of GW IP, you know?

    And while I'm not saying these topics should be swept under the rug, this thread is for two things: rumors and baiting Whitefang reacts.

    Artwork is from instagram

    I hope so! I'm so torn between getting into Ironjawz or Mawtribes.  It's a real dilemma for me, since Ardboyz and Gorgers are my two favorite units from each and wouldn't you know it...

    that witch aelf is so randomly placed that I didn't understand what this artwork is for. Maybe supposed to be a 2-page spread in 4.0 tome?

    She looks like she and the Wrecka are deep in conversation.  Probably discussing their favorite violent memories.

    Worst case scenario you just use the spicy pup as a Runefather proxy. 

    Nibbles-Grimnir is amongst the most renowned of all Runefathers.  When his voice yips across the battlefield Megabosses, Chaos Lords, and perrrrrrrfidious aelven brigands alike fall to the ground, hearts stopped by terror.

  10. Well, I appreciate the optemistic outlook.  I just wonder with the definite lack of love that they've gotten since AoS started.

    I'm not trying to Bestigor on anyone's banners but I just want to see where the community stands.

    Trust me, I want Beasts to be more pronounced in all settings!  Give me EC Slaangors! Khorngors! Pestigors! More for everyone!!

    As for my other questions, I always worry and sympathize with Whitefang likes because the poor chummer can't appreciate a comment without TGA adding it to a gospel somewhere.

  11. Doesn't anyone think Beasts will not be filtered out of AoS in exchange with The Old World?  I hate to think of it but Beasts frankly have a negligible narrative presence in the Mortal Realms.  I love the faction so much but I think of all the factions listed between TOW and AoS they're by far the most likely.
