    The Rumour Thread

    You guys realise the factory has been running for a couple of weeks now fulfilling back orders and getting new orders out to customers and independent stores.

    I wouldn't be surprised to get some form of news this week when we can expect some new releases.

    The question of where everyone gets their stuff has important implications across the entire fantasy genre.

    How many times have we broken into the ritual chamber of a secretive chaos cult, and there is the highpriest/evil sorcerer bedecked in fancy robes, embroidered with the sigils of the dark gods?

    It certainly looks cool, but how do they get them?

    They can't just take their robes to an ordinary seamstress and say "Can you stitch the symbol of Nurgle here, here, and here in green and gold thread please!"

    Do they do it themselves between sacrifices?

    Do they get their minions to do it?

    Does being good at needlework get you promoted within a cult faster or slower than being good at slaying enemies or infiltrating the cities of order?

    Are there companies of unholy seamstresses, able to weave the screams of the unfaithful into fabric for the right price?

    Or do they have rooms full of slaves, labouring away to darn the socks of Evil.

    We just don't know!

    Don't get me started on all those iron shod hooves and the need for Farriers of Chaos!

    Little known fact, but Khorne is a keen knitter. 

    He has a regular column in Chaos Fashion Monthly - Knit with Khorne.

    Most patterns are of skulls and in red but he is also fond of sunflowers and is currently experimenting with neon yellow wool.

    Rumours are that it will be similar to AOS 2nd edition with relatively minor tweaks to the game and all the old books carrying over to the new edition. 

    I wouldn't be surprised to see them re release the codexes with the psychic awakening rules in for that army. A 0.5 update.

    Back to AoS, I wonder if they have the ability to redesign an existing sprue? 

    Could see them adding to the current gargant kit or even just adding another sprue to give more options.

    Told ya it was a lightened reveal....unfortunately but understandably...

    They revealed 7 things today and what they've revealed over the past 2 weeks is half of what they were going to show at adepticon. 

    I'll say they are doing well and I like the weekly format (forgiving easter next week).

    So any guesses for this Saturday other than more aelves and possibly giants (tho I don't think we'll see them until what would have been warhammerfest)

    New bloodbowl team?

    Next battlebox?

    New campaign book? 

    Something completely out of left field?

    Maybe "Mega-kapp'n" for a Grotbag-scuttler warband? ;)

    He wears an especially big hat for that mega touch while sailing on his small flying boat with a crew sporting spikey boots from the rumor engines.

    Ummm, you might want to have another look at Fyreslayers and Kharadron. xD

    Between the two factions there's only one dedicated unit of axe users in the Fyreslayers (2 if you count Shadespire). Otherwise it's a lot of polearms and weapons that go against the old dwarf tropes.

    Add that in to AoS lore having realm of life and beast Duardin making their homes in giant trees and you can see AoS was overturning fantasy conventions long before Lumineth ruffled some traditionalist feathers.

    This is what I love about AoS. Give me something new, something other games don't have. If I want high elves or normal dwarves, I'll play warhammer (and I love warhammer armies, I'm building a 4th edition dark elf army).

    Give me eel riding soul stealers, flying dwarf investment bankers and hammer wielding, bull worshiping aelves who seek validation from a living mountain any day!

    I'm loving its not just a carbon copy of the old high elves and its something different.

    Plenty of other games have generic elves so let's have something different. I'm excited and curious what they have in store for shadow elves.

    High elves are dead. Long live the Lumieneth Realm Lords.

    Myself and some friends on instagram are taking a trip down memory lane and collecting armies from our childhood. 

    I'm doing dark elves, some amazing models which still hold up.

    I will add pics here as I finish units but if anyone wants to join in, I'm @jamie07 on instagram and we're using #flashbacktofantasy

    Here's what I'm managed to collect after a couple of weeks trawling eBay. 

    Painted stuff is taking a bath right now.

    So excited to get these done!!

    Good for them closing and looking after their staff, while we're all eager to get our hands on their latest shiny toys, the well being of all the staff is by far more important.

    I've no doubt they will have planned for this and while everyone can moan like a nighthaunt kicked out of tomb sometimes, the hobby community is a overall positive one and we'll all get through this. I'm looking forward to seeing all the cool stuff people get up working through their piles of shame!!

    People will moan regardless; show to little get flamed for hyping to much, show lots and people complain when it's not released within a month. 

    Go in with no expectations and enjoy the show.

    In regards to shipping and stuff, we all have to be flexible and understanding in these unprecedented times. I think GW would keep everyone informed if there are delivery issues.

    I know that this is entirely baseless speculation, but I am curious if the Scions of Flame were delayed to kickstart a second season of Warcry releases. If so this could be an entirely new warcry warband which would be neat.

    I am also becoming more convinced that something interesting is going on with Slaanesh and Malerion...

    That would be one freaky sex tape!! 😂😂
