Twisted Firaun

Looks like Death’s back on the menu boys and ghouls!

No thanks needed your Swoleness, just know that I do end up building this guy, it will partially be in your honor. @Whitefang has been summoned. Quick ask your rumor questions! Will TOW add new plastic undead archers for Tomb Kings? @The Lost Sigmarite and @Neverchosen it’s definitely something FEC related, it’s frankly too macabre for any other faction atm. Besides I don’t think the blood angels would let their brother keep their heart if they wanted to use their bones for a reliquary.

My money is on FEC, after all they’ve been hunted to get a big update real soon. It also fits their strange mixture of bronze/rusted iron and bone armor, so it’s possible…

Speaking as a man who generally prefers the undead and villainous factions nowadays…. I might have to start an army of these guys. When I was five my mom bought me a pop-up book about life in a medieval castle (still have it too), and my favorite part of that book was the section on the knights and their fancy armor. So far COS reminds me of those knights: their armor is a mixture of practical plate and ornate filigree that reminds me of the architecture of New Orleans… a strange mixture of memento mori and a celebration of the defiance of life. I can see myself running two or three of the fusiliers with a Warhulk in the middle, desperately trying to retake the underworld of their ancestors from the forces of chaos and the Ossiarch Legions alongside the unquiet dead and the gravelords. Here’s hoping that the rumored reliquary mentioned by @Draznakand @Whitefang is previewed soon, cause I can see it being the centerpiece of a magnificent army. Heres also hoping @KingBrodd gets some new Ogors soon, because GW has shown that they can make some truly grotesquely gorgeous sculpts for the large lads.

Agreed, though you can probably copyright TOMB KINGS OF KHEMRI!!!

Barring Gotrek, chorfs, and sky pirates, the only good dwarf in AOS is a dead dwarf:

So Ironjawz are the average Gym-Rat, Kruleboyz are the high school kids who take up space while “lifting,” does that make the Gitz the kids in the daycare center?

My what a ghoulishly delightful surprise! While I'm somewhat disappointed the only members of LONG LOST NEHEKHARA to make it to the grid iron are those two mummies in the Underworld team, I can appreciate the effort that went into this guy.

So what you're saying is that when we finally get to a Japanese style army in AOS/TOW it will be filled with FOOLISH SAMURAI WARRIORS! that can jump good? I am here for that .

Definitely getting confusing….. At least with the Order and Destruction factions, death and chaos still seem to be their own things (Manticore excluded).

I agree with you @KingBrodd on multiple points, but let me put them in order of importance: 1. Like many of us I was somewhat disappointed with the lack of reveals in the big “Not 40K” reveal. We got exactly one reveal for each thing besides HH (aka 40K lite), which had the Knight kit and Epic 2.0 revealed. 2. the Kruleboyz beat wranglers are great! I won’t lie I’m a point concerned that the FEC got a warband with a similar feel to them (feels like laziness on GW’s part), but the baboon/howler monkeys and teases of swamp dragons more then make up for it. 3. New skaven warband! Odds are most of the skaven base are going to pick it up and use each model as their separate roles (new plastic plague priest) but underworlds has been a teaser for what’s to come for quite some time now…. 4. TOW: nothing from LONG LOST NEHEKHARA!!! So 5/10…. The knight’s cool though, and here’s hoping the Bret players like him. All in all here’s hoping we get an actual reveal sometime in the near future, with all the hype of the tenth edition preview and then some!

On the one hand I’m happy we’re getting a giant dragon that doesn’t belong to Sigmar….. on the other hand I kinda wanted a Chaos dragon (preferably a Cathayan styled one (ala Flame Fang)). The Kruleboyz warband was my favorite “fantasy” preview, with my second favorite preview being the new knights. Here’s hoping this stuff comes sooner rather than later!

Hey, hey they got Monkeys!

Man, as a Chaos player seeing SIGMAR of all people get a manticore before me is kinda funny. The new lady looks interesting, and I bet we’ll see a lot of her in painting competitions and conversions.

Autocorrect @MitGas, hates me. I meant “boards, not bird. that’s both awesome and generally horrifying to imagine on the tabletop. Just imagine how much space such a model will take up on the board….. Youve been there for me @KingBrodd, so I shall be there for you. Best of wishes to @Neverchosen on his/her job hunt (I don’t know you IRL, so I’m playing it safe mate), may your interview be fruitful and the reveals a fine bonus.

It is your enthusiasm for all factions regardless of whether or you you enjoy them that helps keep this community from falling into the depravity of the 40K boards your swoleness. Here’s hoping that you get a nice big update for your slighter smaller large lads @KingBrodd.

Everyone! stop torturing poor @Whitefang for information..... unless its about LONG LOST NEHEKHARA!!!! PLEASE OH WISE WOLF, TELL ME YOUR SECRETS!!!!!

Summon @CommissarRotke, Lieutenant @Asbestress and @The Lost Sigmarite!

At this point they’ll need Nagash, Arkhan, and Tzeentch himself to work together in order to appease the fans. I have my money on either a new Slaanesh or Slaves to Darkness warband (since Nurgle just got updated and Khorne and Tzeentch have gotten warbands this season). I’m curious about what they’ll reveal for Warcry this coming weekend: we know it’s gonna be order vs destruction, but does that mean Ogors, grote, or orruks?

Bring on the new Liche Priest! or Tomb Guard or Nehekharan Warriors..... JUST BRING BACK LONG LOST NEHEKHARA ALREADY!!!!

I'm fairly certain I floated this rumor back in March, but from Great Book of Grudges instead.... Does Valrak give any hints about what's going to be included in the box? MY money is on the new Tomb King, a Liche Priest, and some tomb guard since that's what has been previewed for LONG LOST NEHEKHARA!!!!

I can't be insane all the time, because then I would become predictable. Oh don't get me wrong, common sense is important to me as well, it's why I don't like TOW's new tomb king paint scheme (they're trying to go for a Boris Karloff The Mummy poster look for the skin, but they over saturated the green), but this is the rumor thread, created for rumor-mongering and hype train foolery: we have a thread for complaining about/discussing Mortal Redesigns created by @CommissarRotke.

I Hereby Invoke the Law of Mystery Science Theatre 3000: It's just a game and we should really just relax. As @CommissarRotke has stated Warhammer is a world filled with Magic, Gods, and Literal Daemonic forces from hell, we should just enjoy the craziness and try not to think too hard about how everything works.... lest we drive ourselves insane.

As any wrestler(folk, freestyle, Greco-Roman, WWE), Hockey, American Football player can tell you, there is nothing quite as terrifying as a large man moving towards you at breakneck speeds. ESPECIALLY if he’s hungry….

*Looks towards @MitGas* I wonder who they’re talking about…
