    The Rumour Thread

    I'm primarily a painter when it comes to AoS so I can't say I'm too excited at the confirmation that there's going to be terrain and a board in the launch set, possibly leading to less models in the box. It be would be nice if there were two versions of the box, one with all the extra stuff and one with just the models and a rule book or extra models and a rule book but I don't expect that to happen.

    That being said I do understand that it's likely great for new players, it just might mean I'll unfortunately skip this one and wait for the inevitable Christmas/end of year battleforces that contain a fair chunk of the new Stormcast and Skaven models.

    Ultimately though I'll reserve final judgement until we actually see the box.

    The new liberator looks great. Details like the helmet, shield, that circular bit on the upper chest and possibly being slightly more heavyset really help to set them apart instead of just being vindictors with hammers.

    I'm curious to see what build options the riverblades have, If any. I don't mind the less armoured models in the warband but if there's an option to kit them all out with the full masks and armour that's definitely how I'm building them, though that might be expecting too much.

    I would be overjoyed if Nagash actually started getting some solid wins for once. He's always seemed like bit of punching bag for a while now and on the occasions he does get some wins they're quickly overshadowed by his defeat. Would be incredibly satisfying if he was the one to come in and ruin the Skavens plans for once.

    It would be cool to have Arkhan return this edition as well, maybe with a new model.

    I'm really hoping that they misspoke and that there isn't any terrain in the launch box and that it's kept to the 3 tiered starter boxes they usually do after the launch box. Mostly because it possibly means less models in the box and (this is a mildly selfish reason) because I personally won't have much use for it since I'm primarily a painter when it comes to AoS and I don't really enjoy painting terrain.

    That being said I can understand why they might decide to include it due it being good for peoples first foray into the game but I'm still crossing my fingers and hoping that there isn't any in there.

    Is this art of the silent people in the latest white dwarf new? weird they get a mention after such a long period of silence(haha), it's a cool design though

    That Silent One art looks so cool! It's nice having bit more of an idea of what they look like, an entire faction/army of sentient humanoid insect people would be amazing.

    I would also feel an obligation to buy into them based on name alone.

    That center silhouette looks to be holding the Morai Heg icon rumour engine, the other two seem to be a krootox and likely a Solar Auxilia sentinel or sentinel-like vehicle.

    I reckon the center one might also solve that advent rumour engine that looked like a wing.

    As someone who's been waiting for Malerions faction/army to be released since AoS first launched I admit I would be somewhat disappointed if they just get souped in or share a book with DoK. Mostly because I think I'm concerned that they would end up in a similar position to Kruleboyz where they don't quite feel like a full army because they lack a few extra units/options. Granted there's a few armies that have their own solo tome that have that similar lacking feeling so It may happen regardless of whether they get their own individual tome or not.

    With that being said I do understand the merits of combining them.

    The RE gives me mild axolotl vibes despite the fin not extending all the way up the tail like actual axolotls. Could see it being something for IDK or or if the upcoming Lumineth river temple unit is a Warcry warband perhaps they're getting a pet or two like some of the other warbands set in Ghur have been getting. 

    I'll be stoked either way if it's something for IDK or Lumineth.

    Perhaps the Fyreslayer anniversary model is a hint that they'll be getting some sort of sizeable release sometime within the year much like how the the previous anniversary model was a ghoul king that was eventually followed by the FEC release.

    That and there's a correlation between the ethereal and the new Kroot/Tau wave happening in the near future, could be that going forward the anniversary models might be hints towards upcoming faction release waves.
