There‘s no hints that there’ll br a separate kit for Hobgrots, so far. Soul Wars Chainrasps were also the exact same kit that later got released separately.

Only rumors and wishlisting as of now.

Dawnbringer Crusades are represented in terrain for now. I expect future CoS expansions to include „Dawners“ as a playable subfaction with an expansion on flagellants/devoted and a new kit or two.

SBGL definitely counts, DOK, Lumineth and Slaanesh honestly could go either way.

If FEC get a named character, there’s no doubt it would be Ushoran. The matter of „needing“ is a different one entirely, just as e.g. 40k‘s Eldar need new Phoenix Lords, Aspect Warriors and basic troops and haven’t received anything for decades. New FEC models would be great, no doubt about it.

Ardboyz are in an awkward spot indeed. Back in WHFB, they were the biggest and baddest, and their role reversal of essentially being Ironjaw cosplayers is hilarious. Their models sadly are very much products of their time, forced into same-y poses, squat, blocky. Much of that stems from being a too-literal translation of the previous metal models. In fact many of the older Black Orc characters look like what I personally would prefer modern Ardboyz looked similar to, think Grimgor, Facebasha, the Big Bosses. These were permitted more refined poses and a level of detail not available in that plastic kit of limited scope.

Bonesplittaz got an Underworlds warband in Headkrakka‘s Madmob. They bear enough similarities to existing Bonesplittaz to make a complete replacement unlikely, unlikelier even than going from Sepulchral Guard to the new skeleton warrior kit. The basic Bonesplittaz range is fine: they suffer badly from holdover Finecast models and a desperate lack of options. Maybe a big brawler unit similar to Toofdagga from the Madmob, but even bigger, could solve some issues - Orruks that have eaten so much beast-marrow that they’ve swollen with Waaagh and Beast energy.

Fanciest sword pommel ever?

I actually don’t think he‘ll be the biggest model in the army. On the stream, Adam and Eddie said the Sludgeraker is the biggest Kruleboyz model. Regardless that was a great story, Gobsprakk sounds like an interesting personality and he‘s certainly mean. Cruel even, one might say.

This guy looks like his preferred method of entering a room is walking through the wall without breaking his stride.

What? My local store (Germany) was positively overflowing with Dominion boxes to the point the clerk hadn‘t printed enough price tags.

Oh I am so in for some sludge-raking action. Gimme da gator.

There‘s two things I love especially about this: Kruleboys being truly cruel on a more than physical level, and the potential for Kragnos to be a tragic character.

The chipping looks like the method used for Ironjaw armour, I agree. Interesting to see the hair/ponytail bound in a vertebra. The return of Hair Squigs to AoS?

Certainly sounds promising, but what‘s the source for these?
