from the Destruction rumors. i was wondering when they said is a new Greenskinz variant that they meant its a new Subspecies all together so they aren't Grots or Orruks but completely different and unique physique.

So a Grimdark Live update on the AoS 3.0 Destruction Army.
supposedly its a new Greenskins variant that's "smaller than orcs, larger than goblins" (which i guess that was what Whitefang was hinting at) one unit is clearly riding wolfs
kind of matches what Hobgoblins are in the Old world too but maybe less grot-like and more something totally new.

That's the same argument people use to justify stuff like Eldar not getting any updates because "Xenos are supported, just look at Necrons!" An update for Ogres does nothing for Orcs, and because of the system you get people complaining about Order being "bloated" when half the factions in it can't even interact with each other or Destruction being "under supported" as if adding a new army under that tag is going to fix the lack of updates the others get.
i mean your also comparing it to the game that is infamously known to have a release parity and favoritism problem anyway.
But they have cycle through the GA releases very neatly too every since Gitz have been releases, and death and Destruction homer have like it very much
and i think they will bring back GA soup style armies similar to COS and Chaos Ascendant, it just that LON didn't age well and Destruction just simply never got one.

Removing GAs doesn't get rid of factions having allies, it just opens up more possibilities. Grand Alliances are 99% just a TT mechanic that's somewhat reflected in the lore, if the gameplay is open to more potential alliances and enemies, then the lore will reflect that since that's how GW creates their content.
well the GA system also keep GW balance on their releases as they use it cycle their release between each GA, just so if you favor a certain GA, you feel like you get stuff and not being left out.
it also a very lore tool for new players to get a grasp of the setting instead of 24 random armies yelling at each other with only thin directive or relationship with each other.
i also personally like it since it like an MMO Alliance vs Horde setting

It's funny, Destruction gets a lot of attention in the side stories they publish online, but none of the factions have gotten BR rules yet. It's surprising because I thought they would have at least compiled some of the White Dwarf bonus rules in a book (like the Troggherd stuff). From the line-up we see for Kragnos it's too crowded with all-star demigods to fit Gordrakk and friends.
It's not like we are being forgotten about since there are the recent Underworlds warbands and all the fluff, but omission from the books is odd. Not even the shiny new toys like the Megagargants get stuff. I wonder if AoS 3.0 is going to get an early campaign supplement with bonus rules for Grots/Orruks/Ogors, like what everyone else got during Broken Realms.
i think its intentional since we are three books in and they haven't even sprinkle one Destruction army yet
and they only needed to do one more BR book to cover every army so stoping at 4 books and ignoring Destruction seem like it was plan to keep them side line until the new Edition comes out

Just wondering - the tides have really shifted to assuming Kragnos is Destruction based... knowing we're getting a sylvaneth model, and based on the list above...
Is there a growing possible he's BoC after all? Destruction appears to be getting a new starter set, so maybe they don't need a new centerpiece / god character now - I would assume more might be on the way for them in the months ahead if they're in the starter as we expected.
It really only leaves Skaven, Khorne, and BoC. And I hate to say it - but at least Skaven technically DID something in Belakor. BoC and Khorne have literally not been mentioned as far as I know....?
well i think currently people are divided on him being Kurnothi (maybe less so after the Warsong reveal)/ Destruction/ and recently more BOC because of his portrait release, there even still a Duardin camp because of the rumor engine
eh we will know by Monday, people are speculating he like Illuminor Szeras who got a new model at the end of PA and sort of herald the Necron release in 9th edition. So Kragnos is like Heralding destruction for the new edition

It's interesting that this is going to be the final broken realms because that would mean several factions are not getting anything before 3.0. They did say it would affect every army but apparently it seems like half the factions are being ignored
I guess if destruction was purposely left out of BR then this book would only need Sylvaneath (confirm) BoC, Khorne, Skaven, and Slaanesh (confirmed) to cover most major factions.
Gravelord are a new army for the most part and LoN is probably going out the door so they are probably excluded from BR as well

Wouldn't be hugely obvious. The fact that there are two days of 40k doesn't mean that one of those days is dedicated to a new edition.
If they said AoS on Saturday which is both the weekend and the last day it would feel like something big was going to be reveal for AoS at this point.
leaving a mystery mark at least keeps some mystique to the reveal

I'm very sceptical that Saturday is 3.0. Otherwise it would say AoS on the calendar for Saturday too.
Think its probably something else - Epic 30k or maybe Old World.
It could just be them hiding the obvious if they said AoS was on Saturday

i honestly though there would be one more but it full steam ahead to the new edition
-
elves players just think they are center of the world really
having the nerves to say that BR was all about them not realizing how bad of an idea it was in the context of the overall player base

Looks and sounds like that last boss from Dark souls 2

So I got to thinking, and 9th edition 40k changed the board sizes to be smaller. I noticed that A) the Shattered Dominion board is no longer available and B) the Hallowheart or whatever it's called board, the one that's several pieces of thick card, is roughly the same size as the new 40k board size.
Could that mean that AOS will get a reduced board size too? Considering that would make melee better, maybe that's the counter to the fear of charge reactions making shooting even better?
*I know the size is a "minimum" but in 40k at least it quickly became the default once all the major tournaments said they would adopt the new size as the baseline. So I'd expect the same thing to happen in AOS and the "minimum" to become the only way.
I think that the change that most people agree will happen because it makes more sense for GW to have both of their system on the same board size especially if they want to start selling boards in the future

Ah, I missed that one - thanks for the heads-up.
I feel like that won't be the case, ONLY because when they first announced Broken Realms they announced that "every faction would get rules", which to me means they'll get something...
I mean they have said that before but it doesn’t always pan out
wraith of ever chosen was all chaos but they didn’t have Skaven or BoC
PA haliquins and deathwatch where white dwarfed
its also suspicious that the previous three BR didn’t have at least one Destro army in it considering that the spread isn’t GA exclusive

I guess interesting note is that none of the recent tomes have things that suggest there is AoS crusade rules on the horizon unless it’s an overhaul to Path to Glory or the times wheren’t particularly made for the next edition
i believe Crusade rules are strictly in Codexes though you can get expanded rules through supplements

I was going to suggest a combined orc and goblins tome from Whitefang's mention of the Hobbit, but thought I was reading too much into it. However, I'm starting to think that may be the case. Maybe some Gitmob Grots models as part of Orruk Warclans? Or a new tome with generic orruks and gitmob grots combined in the same vein as the Orcs and Goblins army book in fantasy? That would explain the Orc chariot weapon from the Rumor Engine. I'm gonna spit my drink out if we get a new battletome called "Orruks and Grots".
Are we sure those engine are chariots? To me They just look like random bits that all look aesthetically similar and maybe being the same army but nothing screams it’s a chariot piece.

I was informed by my local store that the reason cursed city changed plans was due to their print company who does all the cards and such closing down in lockdown which is who they had their plans with.
GW is such a large company I would have thought they’d set up their own printing area by now.
I mean if they did, Warscroll cards wouldn’t be a limited item for sale every time a book came out

Well since they are finish with the Ghur setting in WHU I wonder what the next setting going to be, my bet it’s either Chamon or Ghyran

Oh that what new tolken on board means, make sense now that it’s WHU thing

It really depends if you as a person count that wave as a proper release or not, like do people count Tzaangor as a proper BoC wave since I don’t see many people think it is one.
but GW has set a president that it doesn’t matter which army lavished the longest, you get stuff when you get stuff regardless of when your last update is. Arguing about it is pointless really

I still think Ironjawz is the safest bet for AOS 3.0 starter set though. Just because their play style really fit well for beginners and they can be design to fit the ETB easy to paint models like Stormcast, Nighthaunt, space marine, Necron, and Deathguard.
they still would be my most likely pick despite maybe recent rumors and that 40k Ork are getting a release relatively soon at the same time
