Hopefully with the Kragnos hunting horn guy from the warband.
I’d love them to really lean into Monster Hunterz now between the Bonesplitterz niche needing to be filled and as they’re no longer on a cosmic villain spree it’ll give them a new direction to do as they chill a little(and echo back to when Gorkamorka was Sigmar Pantheon’s main monster killer)
It feels like GW decide to split all aspects of BS between IJ and CB.
IJ get pigs and maniacs
CB get monster hunting and wierd magic
Prob this is the right move but I hope that we will see more Orruk faction in future. -
Am I wrong or BoC shamans will be part of StD?

Will this be the look of the new model?
"Who is this white-bearded wanderer? From whence does he come, that all duardin peoples recognise and know him? And where does he go when his act of charity is done...?"
"Masters of stone and metal and makers of intricate machines they are..."
"Under the stewardship of their ancestors will they prosper..."
"He will remind them of the old ways..."
"... and he will guide them towards the new."Spoiler'Father', the duardin grunted
'You remember...?' said the Maker
'Everything'
'Then I fear you've the advantage on me. The ages have taken so much...'
'I'm no sure what to call you? now you're here', said the Maker 'You've worn so many names. Not least the one by which I once named you.'
'You know my name'
The Maker smiled. 'Aye. I suppose I do, And so do they,.. The duardin have become strong through their trials. As I had always trusted that they would. But they have also become divided. It's time for them to feel my hand again, to remake that which was once whole. But we duardin aren't so quick to forgive a wrong done to us, and the wrong I did to them was great indeed. The centuries that have passed since the Age of Myth have been too long and bloody for them to follow me again, and Grimnir is not ready to return. There's only one thing they all share in common, one duardin who can unite them all.'
Grombrindal sighed and picked up his axe. 'Best make a start then, hadn't I?'-

KO have embraced the creative and shaping part of the dwarf psyche, to the point were their science is so advanced they don't need gods anymore - is totally in line with the philosophy of Grungni, the dwarf god of the forge and by extension, creation and shaping. This is why KO are the Grungni duardins - not because they worship him but because they embraced his philosophy.
It's not how AoS works. Faction can't be described as Grungni duardins if he doesn't have some level of aythority over it. So right now the best candidate to be called as Grungni's faction are Gholemkind because he literally gave them life. But you are right KO are the one who he truly proud of and we already have so called "Rogue Admirals" who refuse to follow the Code and helping other Duardins all over the Mortal realms.

Duardin god of death is Gazul though...already eaten by Nagash but dwarves still follow him (there's a story about the Gazul zagaz clans in Shyish that have runesinger that can summon dead spirits).
It's true, but Gazul can't guard Duardin underworlds right now. IF Valaya right now is located in one of the underworlds it's logic for GW to make her as one of the Order Panteon god for Realm of death coz she have some grudge against Nagash. I also think that it would be cool to see Valykraz and Gazuls Shard as units for her faction.

maybe the rise of some real traitor dwarfs will put this in a bit more perspective. Also Grungni doesn't seem to have a grudge against the KO for abandoning the old duardin way, I mean it was kinda his fault for leaving them in the age of chaos. Also I'm slightly confused on valaya, is it the same civilisation as the khazalid or are those different?
Valaya never was a pro-active god. Last time she comunicate with dawi was in End Times, after that we only knows that some portion of her powers was absorbed by Nagash and that her cults still exist in AgeofSigmar and folowers of that cult known as healers in dispossessed clans. Also there is some hints that Grombrindal right now reopening Duardin underworlds in attempt to find her in one of them.
I feel like she will be Order god for Realm of death as Duardin underworlds guardian and opposition for Nagash.-

gholemkind have been mentioned a lot in relation to KO so I expect to see them as part of the same faction tbh
I think they will end up being full faction by themselfs. We know for sure that they have purely gholemkind clockwork cities. I think they will be allies with KO and other duardins and could be magic heavy duardin-like faction.

Would be pretty interesting to have:
- Grungni - Kharadron (advanced tech)
- Grimnir - Fyreslayers (slayers)
- Valaya - Dispossessed (hearth and home/traditional dwarves)
Grungni - Gholemkind
Grimnir - Fyreslayers
Valaya - Ancestors (Spirits of dead Duardin returned from the Halls of Ancestors)
All - Dispossessed/Khazalid Empire-United Duardins
None - Kharadron overlords-

Duardin lore needs some progression soon, it's been stagnant for a while now!
IMO main problem is that there is alot of things was happend and happening right now in the lore for Duardins, but sadly we don't see it in the game.

6000+ KO

I think that right now we have pretty good set-up for Chamon/Aqshy duo progression with focus on Duardin of the mortal realms.
This can include new wave for KO,FS and CoS duardins plus Gholemkind release and moving towards Chaos duardins reveal and the begining of Hysh/Ulgu focus edition.
Just as example: Skaven starts their invasion in Chamon and Aqshy. Duardins suffer heavy loses but Gholemkind apears and saves the day. Duardins start to speak about reunification more openly. KO, FS and GK split. Vostarg, Thryng and some GK will lead new Khazalid Empire, where Lofnir, Nar and other GK will stay as it's own. Together united Duardin force with Grombrindal and SCE will defeat Skavens but at the moment of their triumph Chaos Duardins will show up and attacks. Then Grombrindal will fight Chaos Duardin leader and will be almost killed but Ulgu Aelves will show up and Malekith himself to save his old friend.(this will lead us to Ulgu/Hysh edition)
So we could get new wave for KO (New ship with New Brock centerpeace model where old model will became just generic Lord-Magnate), new wave for FS (Bael-Grimnir centerpeace model with 2 boxes of new models) and Grombrindal as new centerpeace model for united Duardin force(maybe with some hint for new Valaya base faction of duardins)-

Grungni/Valaya Dwarves have got to come at some point.
My bet that gholemkind under Grungni will be first.

Yeah I could see him being in the 16-20 wounds, hopefully on a 3+, range. Wonder if he will have a Ward too (beyond the basic 6+), or perhaps a regen rule. But yeah this guy should have pretty bonkers output. I could see him being on the 450-500 point range tbh, though maybe I am just going off his size too much.
I can see him as 18 wound 4+ save model with 4+ ward and monster keyword.

Looking at Ushoran I'm thinking about new models for Naferata(as Kastelai+Legion of blood), Manfred(as Avengorii+legion of Night) and Arkhan the black(with new wave for OBR)

He sees Fyreslayers as the closest thing to 'Kin' in Soulslayer. He's not even looking to die anymore, 'a worthy life is what matters' and his aim now is to improve the mortal realms for mortals. He really likes Zangrom-Thaz now. He's learning to accept his fate and use the rune to help people and actively got helped by Sigmar in Blightslayer. He's reluctantly accepting and even admitting that things in the mortal realms are grander and greater than in the old world, and finding his new place in the realms. He's literally the avatar of the Fyreslayer god.
He's also being sold as a Fyreslayer already on the GW site. It makes perfect sense to add him. With Realmslayer it did not, with the books as they are now Gotrek is becoming something new. He's not just a slayer who wants to die, he wants to live and is an icon of hope to all races of the realms, especially the Fyreslayers.
The only thing that he is missing is that he is not worship Grimnir. With all honesty I think that Gotrek is more fyreslayer then actual fyreslayers because right now (and it was addressed in soulslayer) fyreslayers focused too much on worshipping their god instead of following his path. Grimnir was never about live and gold, he was about battle and walking on the edge. And I think that Gotrek is an avatar of Grimnir also by his wandering nature being looking for worth opponent. So as for the new arc in fyreslayers lore he is perfect candidate to lead them in battle as itself and also as part of united duardin force. Plus he was paired with Grombrindal multiple times with great success. I also think that he might find small magmadroth for himself at some point as a pet and then as a mount.

So after more then 20 games for FS I have some suggestions
1 General Idea
Runes without diceroll
1) +1 rend; +2 rend(empower)
2) -1 rend to enemy attacks; -2 rend to enemy attacks(empower)
3) +1 tohit; 6s tohit autowound(empower)
4) +1 towound; 6s towound deal 1 mw on top(empower)
5) +2 to move; +2 to charge(empower)
6) each time model suffer wound roll a dice and deal 1 mw on 5+; deal mw on 4+(empower)
Rune empower heroic action can be used by heroes on himself or on any friendly unit wholly within 12 inches.
All heroes should get +1 wound

I could see book 3 being Order focused with the main Cities release, the Black Talons and a Kurnothi character getting released all together. Then Death in winter with FEC being the focus on book 4 and the unannounced but hoped for book 5 being Chaos focused
It will be strange if we will not see anything for Slayers other then 1 foot hero.
