    I know that this season is set in Ghur and everything, but does anyone else find it odd that literally every death faction that’s gotten a Warcry band is themed around hunting?

    Are the Pyregheists themed around hunting? I thought they were just burning stuff. 

  2. Those diamond-shaped… connectors? Hoops? are all over Kruleboyz minis - see the Hobgrot grenade handles and the hoops on the Gutrippaz banner. Obviously other factions might use them too but it’s an established design element for that faction, as is the jagged metal spike

    I think I would go with undead. I have the feeling it would be less suffering.

    Depends on the type of undead. As a zombie or skeleton you’re probably fine, as there isn’t really any sentience there. Nighthaunt though are all about being punished by Nagash. Bladegheist Revenants for example spend their entire existence experiencing their last moments - and seeing as they’re all the souls of people who died frantically trying to escape being trapped (drowning in confined spaces, buried alive) etc, it’s a pretty miserable afterlife

    Ossiarch Vs Kurnothi in this story could be the next warcry reveal (order vs death).

    I hope this is true. I didn’t see too many hints for what the Ossiarch warband might look like - the descriptions just sounded like Kavalos Deathriders. 

    Most Warcry warbands this season have had a ‘pet’ of sorts. I could see OBR having some kind of dog/hyena-like constructs.

    I'm not sure what those egg-laying albino rats are. An invocation? Creatures from the maze? I don't think they're a warband, thou. And let's not forget we have a classic eshin teased a few days ago!

    My guess is, the eggs are how this season of Underworlds is going to justify why people keep coming back to life. Previous seasons had the Katrophane Curse and Shadeglass that kept resurrecting fighters - given the eldritch setting here, something weird like being reborn in the eggs isn’t too far fetched.

    Another battlebox out of nowhere with no real indication of how it ties into the lore or story of third edition? Cmon GW!

    This isn’t a battle box, it’s two bundles with a start collecting and half of the Loonwar battle box that was released a couple of years ago. I’m guessing GW had some leftover copies of the art that was in that box and wanted to shift it, so put these bundles online

    Good thinking mate!! Now the question is which Clan gets the Warband?

    Based on the mechanics introduced in this season, probably Eshin. Harrowdeep introduced the ‘Assassin’ keyword, but as of yet none of the three new warbands have used it.

    Perhaps they are rereleasing these warbands?  Updated with new key words?

    That’s be a lot of work for something even fewer people would buy than a new warband, this is probably just art for one of the new upgrade cards as it shows an illusory spear. Every season has had a new gimmick for upgrade weapons like shade glass, amber bone etc.

    Thank you! I was racking my brains and checking out the Forgeworld site as I couldn’t remember which Big Guys and Star Players they have released!!

    "...which will be up for pre-order with all the trimmings towards the end of the year."


    But the important note is...

    "his lets you channel the action into the middle of the pitch, where a certain Big Guy will be waiting for them…"

    Ok, we are talking about the mini bloodthirster

    They revealed what this Big Guy is the other day, it’s going to be a Bloodspawn similar to how Nurgle gets a Rotspawn

    Probably means a model is incoming. They dont offer rules for models they dont make anymore. Maybe the new Scyla Anfingrimm they showed a while back?

    thumb_IMG_20210802_225238.jpg

    In Blood Bowl this isn’t strictly true - there’s whole teams with official rules but no models, like Norse, Amazons, Chaos Dwarfs and so on. Even teams with GW models don’t necessarily have them for all their players - there’s still no Blood Bowl Kroxigor and the Lizardman team was released years ago. 
     

    That said, I can see this being a Forge World release shortly after the Khorne team comes out, as Nurgle has their Forge World big guy with the Rotspawn.

    I'm really curious to see the size of this model and if I can replace the head with a Dire Wolf or Thunderwolf so I can have a Skin-Wolf for my Darkoath army. Proxy him as a Chaos Lord on Foot maybe...

    It’ll most likely be similar in size to the existing Necromantic werewolves which are roughly human-sized:image.jpeg.779b6fdeed2a9eb605c0efa2f33b1313.jpeg

    As we have been speculating, Kruleboyz will be appearing on the next Underworlds season! The warband is called Da Kunnin' Krew and have 2 grots in it (one of them, Gikkit was revealed today):

    https://www.warhammer-community.com/2021/08/30/meet-gikkit-the-herald-of-a-new-season-of-warhammer-underworlds/

    Unless they change the formula this season, the Leader of the warband will be a named version of one of our Heroes. Any guess/wishes for which one we gonna get? I personally would like to see a Shaman to give us a alternative sculpt for lists that use more than one, but if this release taught me anything is that I probably gonna be a Killaboss...

    The warband leaders aren’t always a named version of an existing hero though (Thorns of the Briar Queen, Ylthari’s Guardians, Skaeth’s Wild Hunt, Rippa’s Snarlfangs, the Dread Pageant, Kainan’s Reapers). Given the design of this grot with chains as snares, we could be getting a Snatchaboss on foot, which is something we haven’t already seen.

    Yeah, there's no rumors about mini "normal gnashtoof", but if we wanna reflect on that: out of Gargants, there is an army without cavalry?“

     

    A few: Fyreslayers, Kharadron, Sylvaneth, Skaven, and Flesh-Eater Courts

    I think the SC chariot and archer hero, as well as the Kruleboys ballista and boss on a swamp troll, are probably going to be ETB kits. That’s more like the Dreadblades or Reikenor or Asteria Soulblight though.
    No sign yet of smaller cheaper ETB kits but I’d be very surprised if there weren’t e.g. small sprues of two to three Gutrippas or Vindictors for inclusion in paint sets, magazines, etc.

    Man, I hope the troll is easy to build, it’s the model that convinced me to get the Kruleboyz and if it’s easy to build it’ll be a good lot cheaper than it would otherwise.

  15. Torgillius can’t show up until you hit a certain level, and Radukar has the same restriction under normal circumstances but I believe can spawn early due to end-of-game ‘extraction’ events. I’m not sure about the Vargskyr, but the rest of the villains can definitely appear at level 0.

    Actually, all the warscrolls now have the Soulblight Gravelords keyword and no longer have the Legions Of Nagash keyword. I don’t even think you could try to argue Legions is still legal, as it would be a book with no units

    Legions of Nagash never had a keyword on the war scrolls though: you added ‘Legion of Blood’ etc to the models you chose to use, but otherwise the units only had their own keywords without a faction one.
