    Designer interview about the new Ironjawz. Some fun tidbits in there. 

    I liked this bit about Ardboys in particular:

    We had this idea that they’d form up against a charging monster like a regular shield wall… and then still lunge forward before receiving the charge. They’re orruks, they just can’t help themselves! 

    Really love their new sculpts, I never would've fielded the old sculpts because they looked out of place to me, but the new ones make me want to start playing Ironjawz again.

    Rumor Thread

    I think the FEC players will be dissapointed. This spear may be nicked and scratched, but it doesnt shot the pitting that all the Death Faction weapons have. It also has a different base, where the blade attached to the ferule. Nor does it match any of the crude designs from ironjawz, Kruelboyz of Gitz. .

    The blades well made, but worn. and impales a skeleton. I'm guessing Chaos. Its also impaling the skeleton in a very ritualistic/torturous manner, which is in par for Chaos. Perhaps a scenic base piece, a spear on a chariot/war machine, or most likely, a Warcry band. 

     

    Maybe a new Harry?

  3. I'd be OK with aspects of the Bonesplitterz finding their way into expanded Ironjawz and Kruleboyz model ranges while the existing Bonesplitterz models return to the Old World as Savage Orcs. However, I'd also be OK with a complete redesign. They're just really unappealing to me as they are now though.

  4. The basic plastic Ogor troops first appeared in late 2004 in an Ogre Kingdoms army set - Gnoblars, Yhetees and the Hunter were in that set too. Definitely due a refresh IMO, they'll be 20 next year!

    I've assembled a hell of a lot of those 2 body-pose Ogors over the years, the mould lines are pretty awful compared to more modern releases and I've noticed some odd lines/cracks in the models in places where there shouldn't be any.

    My memory tells me that Fimir were still Chaos at the start of AoS.

    I think the change came around the introduction of noble.

    At least since shortly after painting up my nobles my Fimir haven't accompanied any of my Chaos armies to battle. 

    Can confirm they were always Destruction in AoS:

    I believe they were aligned with Chaos originally but later on became an exclusive Destruction pick.

    Yeah in the old Warhammer Fantasy lore they used to be followers of Chaos who fell out of favour with the Chaos gods, and then in AoS they were just Destruction. Like a reverse Ogroid.

    I don't recall if fimir were allied to orruks in the past but weren't they friendly with chaos more than other factions?

    They were introduced to AoS as a Destruction faction.

    I'd personally prefer to give Kruleboyz and Ironjawz their own battletomes and expand them both rather than see another Warclans battletome lol.

    lore (I'm basing my assumptions on the release of W40K dwarves which has existed once decades ago and came back out of nowhere)

    I'd like to see Fimir return as part of Kruleboyz, seems like a good fit to me - swamp-dwelling, slave-taking, malign creatures who use sorcerous mists to conceal themselves from enemies.

    So we are getting a new unit finally! I wonder if everything will be part of a 8 models unit or we will end with something similar the seraphon warband which ended beeing 3 units. Been called monster hunters, I don't expect they do much in the end ruleswise.

    Yeah I'm pretty curious to see how good these 5 morruks, 2 baboons and egg-carrying grot are at killing monsters in AoS 😄

    Honestly I am let down by these..  and I'm a huge Kruleboyz fan! HUGE!

    Initial reaction is just an orruk version of the FEC band and seems to be stepping on Bonesplittez design toes. 

    Bye splitters.... ✌️

    It's not bad just not what iI was hoping for. 

    🤞 for maybe some more with the Harbingers Destro book. 

    The minis are great but to be honest it's not the flavour of Kruleboyz I was hoping for either. The grot might become Mugruk da Watcha's assistant in my army though, a counts-as pot-grot.

  11. I'd like to see Bonesplitterz get a total redesign tbh. Send the Savage Orcs back to The Old World and do something more creative and extreme for AoS to represent these feral and frenzied Orruks.
