Slaves to Darkness and Stormcast are meaningless without the regular human. Regular humans are what define them. Having a world where all the humans are either roided chaos warriors or roided angels is not healthy for the story.
i believe Slaves to darkness has regular humans, Warcry warbands, the few darkoath units and Marauders,
they are just very fit and muscular people

Under Aelves on the Broken Realms site, they are showing Dragon Blades and a Loremaster (to buy!) - are these two units making a comeback? I do hope so!
You can't actually buy them, at least not yet, but still.....
umm i think they just haven't update that page since AoS 2.0 came out, it been like that for 2 and a half year by now
-
they did say every major faction will get something or attention, does sound like that they are definitely rebalancing some stuff given that the IDK units getting change are all problematic units that community have express disappointment by their performance (Turtle, the two aspects, and to some extent Sharks)
-
its only for Sharks, Turtle, and the Eidolon
though if turtle are getting mount trait, i think they are giving them a hero options (or it an endrinwork type deal like KO)
-
IDK get new warscroll and mount traits
citiies get new cities
DOK get new allegiance, new warscroll for morathi with both version of her
EDIT: they show what each army gets on the website
-
They could just be doing stuff for Halloween with horror related themes

i think the argument is that Hrothgorn is not meant to be the full replacement for the Icebrow hunter because he primary design for another game system and it is not about the difficulty to proxy him as one. having Hrothgorn existing does not take the chance away from having an actual plastic version of the Icebrow hunter
simply you could just tape his base on top of the correct base size and call it a day.

Direchasm got several no? The owl among other.
Technically only the owl is a rumor engine. The bow and the other preview where kind of a special teaser for the preview show that week. If you want to count the bow it is only 2

TBH I never had much success with fellwaters, they usually get killed way to fast by either combinations of mortal wounds, shooting, and in melee. and if they are not dead, they lose combat effectiness before I can do damage on a critical engagement.
rockguts are swingy in combat but they have always done well for me because of the durability.

Like 90% of all releases for the AoS setting these days it is most likely from a Warband
Looking at the rumor engine history, ever since they change format, majority of them are usually main game stuff from what I can tell. In fact Beastgrave only had two rumor pic for the whole season and Only for the starter set warband. -

Any Rumours about Christmas Army Boxes? I´ve read speculations on Mawtribes, OBR, SCE and something else but nothing reliable. At what time did we got the informations last year?
22 minutes ago, Overread said:
@Charleston no rumours yet. It's all just wishlisting right now. Chances are we'll hear something in November or early December about them and what's happening over Christmas.if i recall correctly last year the battleforce box where release the weekend before Black Friday (not sure if UK has anything like that), that usually the ideal time in retail to release those holiday items. that probably the timeline GW would like to release them though because of COVID it up in the air.

I'm wondering if the Sons of Behemat will feature strongly in Broken Realms along with Lumineth. It's the perfect way to introduce these new Factions into the story.
it really depends on how many BR books there are going to be and how many armies are going to be feature in each of them. hopefully they may encompass every army currently in AoS but who knows
heck we know so little about Broken realm: Morathi in general outside of maybe having stuff for DoK, we not even sure if there stuff for IDK or Slaanesh at this point.
though if they are going by out of date armies first i think the next one maybe Nurgle vs LoN but that my guess.

I will say that if combat patrol boxes become a thing AoS, I think it gives them an opportunity to balance the boxes against each other so people can play a fairer game right off the bat.
Cause currently now, one SC box of FEC and BCR are way stronger and contain more unit value then most of the other boxes.

I think the problem is that they are replacing the existing SC boxes with these more expensive boxes. Which hurts newer players then more experience ones because there isn’t a cheaper option even if the saving value is the same for both boxes.
granted they still have the cheap starter set boxes ( recruit and command edition) that newer player can go into It just sucks a little bit if that the armies that you don’t want to go into.

I mean the amount I seen on reddit and Twitter seems like a lot of megas and Mancrusher are being painted has been quite a lot too. That usually my metric of seem to be doing all right

I can't help but feel that Catacombs should be an expansion pack. $237USD for something that most Warcry gamers already own a large chunk of makes it very off-putting for existing players, and at that price is hard to call it a starter set.
Fingers crossed that the warbands, new dungeon accessories ("scenery" that you can't really use in any other setting), and Catacombs book will be available on their own in a few months. I'll maybe pick up the board pack in the mean time. Maybe not. $55 is right on the edge. Likely I'll just skip it entirely and just pick up the Scions for regular Warcry games far down the road. Bummer, really. Was very much looking forward to this.
Pre-covid I might have seen it on display in a store and been pulled into an impulse buy. Now, with the risks and lockdowns (yeah, I know, America ...), I won't have that exposure, so I'll wait.
Very interested to read about others peoples' experiences, though!
its 210 USD, 237 is the set with the novel included.
it sucks that it both more expensive and some what less content then the previous starter set,
it also not helping that the new warband boxes are $10 more then the previous ones
-
Not sure if it was design with this intent but mega Gargant kit has its basic body rig all on one spures I can see GW using that rig in the future for other mega size Gargants like what they did with the Bigger knights ( Dominus class). Their maybe chaos Gargants in the future too since they had a brief lore bit about them working with chaos Duardin.

Is it they who have lost their minds or we who have lost our wallets and our sanity?
Probably both, must be all that social distancing messing with your guys mind
-
i guess if you want some hope, they did tease Barak Vyxa and Chaos Duardin again in the Behemat tome.
maybe these minor lore teases will lead to something eventually.

I think everything is fairly set up until the end of the year, so I wouldn't expect another preview until New Years Open Day.
i think there going to be at least one more this year to replace the big Blood and Glory preview
the last one was a replacement for Spiel show

i wouldn't really care about the competitive scene at the moment given the world state right now and the fact that only small tournaments are being held right now. barely any worthwhile tournaments are happening in the US and i don't expect much with COVID is just coming back. yes Gloomspite is not a strong army but complain about it constantly damper your enjoyment of playing games. just enjoy what you got and not care about what others have.
often times the strongest army are often times GW forgeting how to balancing stuff and not really metric of player skill or anything one can do without bent out rules.
-
What a minute how do they give point to Warcry warbands again?, the new ones don’t have them on their store warscroll. I knew the previous ones where in the slaves to darkness tome.
i though it be similar to how they do underworld warbands?

The Rumour Thread
in Age of Sigmar Discussions
Posted · Edited by novakai
didn't expect the first story to be about Orruks.
i think they are Bonesplitterz
"The shaman came towards him, dipping his gnarled fingers into a pot of fungus woad. Bokkrog let the old orruk smear the bright-blue pigment on his face and chest, too entranced by the clouds to stop him."
basically Bookrog is fighting the upstart, beating the upstart, shamen said something is in the clouds, War is a brewing let go to war
