    Out of curiosity, which Battletomes do you think will get updated first, after the two launch armies? 

    Nighthaunt and a either Nurgle or Khorne.  I'm guessing Khorne because I like to think Nurgle will come out alongside Sylvaneth to keep that storyline progressing.  On the other hand, Sylvaneth was just last year, so they might wait on that.  But I feel pretty confident on Nighthaunt!

    Yeah, Furnace Kings is the name thrown around in some of the lore. StD calls them the Furnace Kings of Azgorh. In the Warcry novel and Eight Lamentations they're also called just Furnace Kings. The Bonereapers battletome calls them "infernal duardin", the Fyreslayer's White Dwarf article, the Sons of Behemat battletome, and the Chaos novel where they appear in the camp (I forgot the name of the book) just calls them Chaos-worshipping duardin.

    This guy chorfs.

    I'm a big fans of the big hats from 4th edition, but after seeing how the kruleboyz take clues from the very early editions of Fantasy, I wonder if new chorfs won't be referencing their first miniatures.

    Now, won't be fun if these darkmasters have nothing to do with chaos dwarfs, and GW is just teasing us like with that bull-shaped endless spell?
    After all, a world has beed destroyed and eons have pased since the hobgoblins served the dawi zharr, I don't see why they'd be eager to get back to that dynamic.
    Unless of course, these hobgrots are the darkmaster's creation...
     

    I remember staring at that box many times when I'd be allowed to go into the GW store while shopping, but was never able to get it.  I did get the metal Lord of the Rings box of the same size because my dad was a Tolkien fan.  But I always wanted those chaos dwarves.  It was the two-headed one that did it.

    Quickest rumour ever solved? This looks like the brand we saw today to me

    Well there was that time they released a rumor engine pic for a piece of terrain they'd already shown us, so.. maybe second quickest?

    Obviously it's fantasy and could be anything, but that looks like a succulent to me. Thick leaves, spines. Usually I associate them with arid climates and deserts more then anything.

    Nothing obvious about it. Could easily be a Deathworld plant.

    Because every other old battletome being redone for 2.0 was released no more then 2 weeks from the reveal. 

    Need was probably the wrong word but we were told about the sylvaneth delay why not this one. 

    Nearly out of patients. Should have been 1 of the first 2.0 books. The book was ready to go 2 years

    The sad thing about collecting Genestealer Cults is that the individual models aren't the worst in terms of pricing, but the super low points costs of everything means you need absurd numbers of them. Such a cool army with an insanely high price of entry :(

    I'm hoping the Lumineth strike a good balance between elite and good prices; after Bonereapers, my expectations are actually pretty high that they won't break the bank.

    You'd better believe FEC and Skaven will be getting new SC! boxes with the new heroes. They'll probably do that for most of them.

    Bugmen confirmed!

    Been wondering where they'd take the game after beastgrave. Would we go deeper into it for season 4? Could be. There's lots of interesting lore that could be derived into, like the silent ones or whatever the previous inhabitants were called.

  9. I have to reload each page twice here now on my phone. First time I just get an ad, then reload to get the actual page of the thread. 

    Anyway, wasnt there something about Grungni going into a depressed funk after everything that happened, and recently there was a blurb about him being reinvigorated and setting off to help his children? Or am I massively confusing things.

    Also I wouldn't read too much into the year of the rat thing. It's likely just memery or marketing tactics and not an indication of something.

    Yeah, I was thinking more of in base size, if teclis is by himself, does he have to stay on that massive base haha.  hopefully he has an alternate profile with just him and no ''mount''. 

    He definitely will not have an alternate profile without the mount.

    HOPE: teclis is a multikit allowing to get a hero/general mounter (or not) on the sphynx and the hero/teclis can be used separatly, like GW did with the tauralon.

    FEAR: GW did some GW  stuff and it is a single kit.

    Oh that is definitely a single kit.

    He could be seen as the fluid shifting nature of Chamon also caused him and possible fellow Chamonions to have more malleable forms. Similar to how Ghyran caused it's mortal sexes to seperate between the female continent of Virdea and male continents that only come together when the continents mate and produce new lands before they and the male and female mortals seperate again.

    Until we see more realm-native human art it's a bit hard to tell just how far the magic make-up of everything controls even the mortal forms.
    However I agree with your second point he's likely ceremonial and possible royalty.

    On "warhammer art" context for the setting, the giant red magic crystal he has and the background of Chamon in the Corebook that comes before his pic can provide something though.

    In Chamon most precious minerals are worthless because of how common the are to where there's seas of gold, Grungni in his time used this by evenly dividing the continents and making economies of plenty for all his followers. But after he left and when more powerful magical minerals and realm-stones were discovered they had a gold rush that warped the economy of equality Grungni had set-up. So then there was beggars with gold and royals with realmstone.

    So the giant magic crystal marks him out as very wealthy nobility and why he appears ceremonial.

    I would have guessed priest but who knows!
