Yeah for sure. Missed the other two, nice catch. And yes I agree this is a good reason to expect a dispossed Battletome sooner or later. Given the current strategy GW seem to follow, I guess few things can happen with factions that currently have no battletome. Either they are removed, moved into legends, merged with one or more other factions into a new one, or upgraded and get a proper battletome. With so many references to them in recently released models, I think chances are very small them to be removed, so I would think they will get their own BT, if not merged (?? Not sure what to think if that would happen)

Yeah ikr, you are probably right. In this particular case the deal even turns out to be slightly more expensive than when bought seperately 😳. However, earlier this year I took the effort to compare this for similar deals, and if I remember correctly some of them were actually considerably less expensive than seperate kits. And there are always the SC boxes that are still fair discounts, even after expected price raises

I seriously doubt if a disposessed statue showing up in a new grot/trogroth model should be considered to be a strong lead for a upcomming disposessed release, but if it is here is another one:

Available in NZ now...apart from the expected also a nice spiderfang collection. didn't check if and how much discount though compared with the separate kits. https://www.games-workshop.com/en-NZ/Spiderfang-Stalktribe-2019

Yeah well, I guess the recent talk about what may happen with StD is a good example of that. But still started with someone mentioning something a shopmanager said about the status of maurderers. Next thing that happens is that people start speculating about the meaning and possible consequences. All adding their own bits and pieces to the story. Eventually we end up with a story with only vague connections to the original story. To me, that still makes it a rumour. But I admit that all comes to how you define a rumour in the first place, and I can understand you may feel differently.

This thread is one of my favorite topics on the board, and to be honest, I think speculation is one the things that makes it fun in the first place. I don't really see how, or why you would seperate them. What would a rumour be without speculation and vice versa? Wouldn't it be a sort of forced to post the rumour in one thread, and than start talking about it in another? And what is a rumour to begin with? I am not a native english speaker, so I might be wrong, but I think a rumour is an ongoin story that might be true or not true. Something people talk about (ok I admit I googled it) so in essence I feel a rumour is basically something that is ongoing, information in transit. it is moving, not a static fact. As such, I think, talking and speculating of what posted information could mean is not different from a rumour, it is part of the rumour, it defines the rumour for what it is. just as an example: The weekly rumour engine. The posted picture is not a rumour...it is what people think they can make out of it it and the speculation that follows that makes the rumour. Thats why it is called an engine, it starts the rumour. Some people believe what is said about it, others don't . Sometimes One provides good arguments, sometimes It is close to wishlisting. But as long as there is some reasoning behind it, I really don't see why it would be off topic in a rumour thread. sure, it happens more then once than things evolve into discussions that end up way off topic. But up to us, or a mod to signal it and put it to an end after some time. just my 2 cents

Can't deny i am a bit disapointed as well. But also have to admit I did it to myself by getting so hyped up by just some rumours. i guess after all the big releases lately i got a bit greedy for more, even though i am not a grot player nor intend to buy some. having said that. did anyone already spot any of the open rumour engine hints so far on the new reveals? By the looks of it at least some of them seem to fit the rogue trader models but havent found any exact match yet.

Would it really be the last NH release for now, do you think? that would mean for NH the knight of shrouds on ethereal steed, and the guardian of souls are only available from the boxed set (apart from the aniversary GoS). is this something GW does more often?. especially GoS seems to be something that has not much alternatives for a NH list.

So think we got everything revealed for NH & SCE now ? We get 1 or 2 waves of releases next weeks I assume The coach is definitely my favorite...its a great model imho. First time dreadscythe Harridans are showed other than with a few detail closeups. I like them, although not sure what to think of the scythes being their "hands" Could be very well a multi kit with the revenants..given the similar poses

This is getting me close to being totally convinced it is vlad indeed. Everything so far seems to fit the story, and I like it. The mourning spirit of Isabella, taking her late husbands body everywhere she goes. Obviously all speculation, but I guess that is what a rumour thread is about in the first place, right? Still a good chance the new motarch is a new Character afterall, not known from the old world. The good thing about that would be, I think, that it gives a good opportunity to come up with a good and consistant background story, that doesn't need all kind of twist and plotturns that would be needed to me make the resurection of a former chracter, like Isabella, fighting for Nagash something likely to have happened. Not sure if that could be an argument when talking about fanatsy though. all, in all, I don't have a preference for either Isballa, or a new character, as long as it has some nice background story that brings flavor to the game. i would think with the ghostly theme, and the grieving mortarch there is more than enough material to do so.

If not a completely new character, I still think it is Isabella. The closeup during the video shows the decoration behind the head are roses and thorns. Which seems to point in the direction of Isabella, or at least a vampire. The veil, the weddingdress (or is mourn) the titel mortarch of grief all seems to fit Isabella. In fact i feel the whole night haunt theme, including the coach feels more like von Carstein than TK. Also tthe shape of the decoration behind the head ( what is the english word for that?) may look like the shape on the head of khalida a lot (as shown in the posted pictures) but actually the mortarch of grief has this behind the head, While Khalida wears this on the head. Not sure about the staff though, is it indeed a snake, or also decorated with roses and thorns?
