I'll be painfully honest with my thoughts here. I really don't understand why so many of you here believe the Gitmob is coming back; they were squated for the same reason the Greenskins were; they were old models without any new ideas or concepts to expand them beyond just that. And you seem to base your belief about their return entirely on the existence of the Snarlfangs. I seriously don't get it.
51 minutes ago, Gitzdee said:My thoughts are the other way around. They could have stopped with Rippas warband. But why reimagine a whole unit with the Gitmob design if they are just planning this unit? They could have just put a moonclan or hobgrot on top instead.
having an actual model kit (and a full Plastic unit) release for Gitmob gives more creedence to the speculation. It isn’t the same as the speculation for something like Silent people where most people are basing them on fluff and some pictures from Underworlds.
it also because the Snarlfang rider was a pretty surprising and odd release for Gitz. A stand-alone unit that didn’t have much similarity or synergy with the rest of Gitz (bar a few of the universal Gitz buffs). So it does make it interesting to speculate on why GW release them as they did since it rare for them to do such an an isolated unit release.

the theory is that they tend to make new models for an army in bulks and not one off (unless it’s the obligatory foot heroes) and models release during the end of editions narrative supplements are sometimes teasing the future.
if it hold true it be
FS, Nurgle, Gitz (well they got 2 releases), SCE (well duh), Sylvaneth, Soulblight, and DoK.
i guess for their sake we can count the Gorger release for Ogors to be in there even if Ogors didn’t officially get a Dawnbringer release.
IJ, FEC, and Slaves are questionable since they got full or big releases during Dawnbringers.
of course they maybe smaller releases like NH and Sylvaneth from last edition but just more then one hero (honestly I think NH stuff where actually Soul wars leftovers)

Honestly I am surprise that Tzeentch is that low.
well if we are going by age of last big release for all the low kit armies it would be Ogors, FS, Tzeentch, and KO. And then it be DoK and Deepkin.

Regarding gitmob release, I think it'd be better for them to get their own tome or be moved to KB. They differ a lot from the concept of crazy shroom-eaters and cave dwellers. Expanding their range within GSG tome will make tome bloat. I've always been wondering why they put gitmob in GSG army, unless it is just a temporary harbour. They don't even have synergy with any of GSG heroes or traits.
Frankly I alway though it was because the underworld warband was super popular or something (I know during the Beastgrave era they where consider one of the strongest warband for Underworlds thaw game) that they made them into an actual unit for AoS and Gitz was the only place for them.

So what are we expecting for gloomspite gitz new expansion? besides armored troggoths and gitmob hero or chariot
They did tease a new species called a Supharbreath Troggoth in a white dwarf one time.
while I don’t know what to expect for Gitz in 4th, they do have a lot of room to expand upon despite being a pretty big range already. Update Spiderfang, more Moonclan grot knight like Grimkrak’s court, plastic version of their old forgeworld kits like the Hag and Squig Gobbla, or expand Gitmob.

I think the problems is that GW won’t rewrite army rules or warscrolls to an extent that would boost an underperforming army (See past examples of NH, Gitz, and Kruleboyz). They can only do things like adding minor things in like Battle tactics, rewording stuff a bit or supplements like AoR
its really the flaw of there written rules in book format but it profitable and they are willing to stick with it for the foreseeable future.

I rather they simplify Path to glory especially the amount of post game book keeping and power buffs.
but I would like if they where consistent in supporting Narrative play with new battleplans and releases through out a whole edition because it felt like 3rd edition we where stuck with the same 6 battle plans in the core book. Dawnbringer came in to late and the content was all over the place.

I can see a kroot style release for Gitz but I wouldn’t hazard a guess if it would focus on either Gitmob or Spiderfang.
Gitmob getting the Snarlfang unit out of the blue can be taken account as a teaser for more of them, but Spiderfang loosing a resin hero and feeling that this is the best time to update them when they could have retire them already is also an argument for them as well.
hels it can even be to flesh out the Troggoth side a bit more.

Did we every get that rumor about Warhammer underworld was being retire because of low sells?
and that Warcry was also not performing as well so they are rebranding it next year with a mordheim esque setting with skaven vs city of sigmar?

Fallout 4 had an increase of 7500% after their shows release. If GW can have a healthier community for 40k, and its show is good enough, pretty sure that it will be a win/win in a mid and long term.
Amazon sort of need that success because they been having problems with Ring of Power especially since it seems they are cutting marketing and promotion for it. (And they spent a billion on this project)

The ork one is outstanding though 🤷
As for AoS, the rules we've seen so far don't feel like complete rewrite so much as an evolution. I'm not currently concerned. Anyone else in the same boat?
Well yeah that was the biggest bummer both codexes came out the same time and the quality between the OrK and Custodes was so stark.
Granted this is pretty common with GW and it’s where the meme “Bin or Sin books” comes from
-
TBF for Custodes player their Codex release has been pan as one of the worst written one so far in 10th editions. So anger is everywhere

The Year is 2074, 10 years after the Civil strife in Warhammer World HQ. The Warring Clans - Warhammer the Old World, AoS, and 40K have destabilised the Peace Treaties due to a disagreement on the Spelling of “Snotlings”. The Neutral Faction of “Specialist Designers” celebrate their first release in decades, “Bill The Pony- Get Back on the Road”. The internet brays with excitement at rumours that Malerion and his Aelves are a just a couple of editions away.
I just assume we fail to curb Global warming by then

Well also the global market in general is going down because of fear of the Middle East escalation and UK market in general hasn’t been great. Selling now is probably the best time if you see the stock price going down

I think Arachnarok would be the only models to survive from Spiderfang model. Spider Riders were not named during this edition outside the description of that unit.a
I guess it depends if they want to keep the Native American like aesthetic of the forest goblins that the spiderfang units still have or go a completely different direction with them

If that's true it will be:
- GSG
- FS
- FEC
- SCE
- Warclans rather than IJ? Presumably KB?
- Sylvaneth
- CoS
- Ogors
- DoK
- LRL?
- More S2D? Maybe this one is a bit too much.
It would make sense in terms of giving love to needed armies.It would go by Dawnbringer box releases, and Ogors/LRL only got warcry releases. Warcry is so and so when it comes to predicting releases, but Ogors like Drukhari are in the need to be desperately updated zone.
You could argue that FEC and S2D Dawnbringer release were tied to the FEC launch /Darkoath release but they could still get stuff in 4th.

I don't think Harbingers are a sign of new releases, what seems to be clear is that they are pruning the WHFB kits, and Gitz still have a few of them. That fixed with some of the AoS only more needed for releases would be a good guess for the upcoming two editions.
Depends because armies that got Broken realms releases was a very accurate sign of what armies got stuff in 3rd (except LRL because their BR lead to an odd battletome release with a second wave )

Nobody wondering why all these things are getting squatted? Do we expect something to happen that causes this change/removal of armies? Some kind of mid season narrative campaign?
Just give me a renewed BoC and reimagined/ integrated BS please.
Well going by history
Greenskinz/wanderers/swifthawk agents: exist in the background but rarely mentioned again if at all
Gitmob: exists in the background but did came back with one mini
Lion rangers/order Draconis/ Eldritch council : umm we forgot about these guys
Phonecium: your city get blown up
3 minutes ago, Gitzdee said:Yes thats is true, but they did get replaced by one of the biggest army refreshes GW has done so far. So im wondering what BoC and BS get replaced by or made room for. Silent people? Frazzlegitz? Something weird?
probably Chorfs, Kruleboyz seperate, or maybe kragnos army
-
They all get Index rules though Indexes are just placeholders in the end for battletomes. You would just hope that the parity between Index and battletome isn’t that vast for the remaining life of those AoS armies.
TBF I think only like 1/3 of the armies will be updated by summer 2025.

It is complicated for that to happen when we know Chorfs are on its way.
Well it could just be that they had to open a spot in Grand Alliance Chaos for Chorfs as well I guess. And beast just had to go lol

Just thinking about it, but it is still kinda annoying, that they don't let these armies be played until the end of the edition! I mean, even if they don't have an official Battletome, GW will not release all the battletomes up until summer 2025 anyway. Also, what's SO heard to adjust the points? They could let us play with our miniatures until the of the edition even if we're under-powered rather than just cut us all-together during summer.
This will mean that Beastmen (and probably Wood Elves) will be released for Old World at the latest in Summer 2025. They are probably scared that people would go buy those and make sales for old world,, just to play them in AoS. But I mean, this is really curious, since people are going to buy Old World minis for AoS anyway (and the same goes the other way around, I just saw someone playing Orks and Gobbos in Old World, using mostly Gloomspite and I think he also had some 3D-printed ork chariots, some weeks ago).
Think it’s just doing things sooner and not dragging their feet on something, also they don’t want to commit to it for that long.
could be that they are planning a new Beast army a year in the edition but marketing won’t reveal things more then 3 months in advance either way.
or maybe office politics are strict and things have to be gone in deadlines

Did the murder the plague priest in the model cleansing? Maybe a grey seer that can be built as a plague priest, like in Total Warhammer? I seem to remember them being the same model with a different staff and stink lines floating around the plague priest.
It really rare in AoS for a foot hero to have an alternative build into another hero. Sometimes we are lucky to even get a different weapon loadout.

The Rumour Thread
in Age of Sigmar Discussions
Posted · Edited by novakai
Some armies can’t avoid it like LRL where I believe every hero is a spell caster of some sort
in fact of the 2 armies that have spearhead boxes, the one for FEC has an Abhorrent ghoul king which is currently still a spellcaster.
