Neverchosen

Is there a chance that this will reveal the announcement for 10th edition? If so I would understand the focus but it also seems too soon and I wonder if the delays have caused this skewed timing?

I feel like the rumour does not seem accurate as they would be doing Sisters, Admech, 2 Space Marines and Death Guard which would be almost the same list as last year? Not that it is impossible but that is almost the exact same list just replacing the two Xenos factions with an additional Space Marine chapter and Custodes. I think it is hard to predict as everything was delayed. I do suspect we will get Stormcast and Orruks they seem to give people a year to build and Paint their starter armies before making them into Battleforces. There seems to also be a recent army and then a popular army mixed in. I will say Skaven or Maggotkin as the popular ones and Sylvaneth for the recent one?

I think we are going to get some fun conversions...

Love this new head and weapon!!! Still hopeful for mancruchers!

Yeah it looks more like a mournfang to me sadly

I have been so swamped with work and have not been keeping up... decide to see what is happing on my favourite online community and BAM! Best news possible and I just completed my ogors bases last week in hopes of having my first game with them as soon as my work slows down! I am also happy to see them fighting chaos in a wintery setting it is like my army lore coming to life! Hooray! But between SCE, Slaves to Darkness and Ogors... my armies are going to get destroyed by powercreep by the end of the edition hahaha

I like this Rumour Engine because it could honestly be pretty much anything! Is it a Sylvaneth branch or a set piece for Kurnothi? Is it a fun little grot staff? Is it an imperial guard base detail to show them hiding in a thicket? Is it a tyranid tendril covered in a nurgle infection? Who knows but it is a fun one to speculate on.

A strange one is the Chimera which has now become the unloved stepchild of Chaos that is more related to Warcry now. The reason I highlight it is because it is absent from the index but featured in one of the army images. Will Beasts of Chaos make it as coalition allies possibly for Ravagers? I feel each was listed on the index but I may have missed one or two.

I feel like Warcry will do a bit of lifting in terms of releases and at the very least the various vanguard box releases will be exciting.

Well if you are willing to through down the cash money I have seen some people take Gryphcharger heads to make Tzeetnch Cavalry... The Lord Arcanum's Gryph mount is in a similar rearing position. This would look sick with that and maybe toss Ahriman's head and I think you will have one sweet Tzeentch Eternus!!! As for me Eternus will be the Damned Champion that betrayed his fellow soldiers for the dark gods and will be hunted by his former Lieutenant through the Ogor lands on a mad crusade to awaken the demon presence in the region... In 40k he will just be a generic wingless demon prince if I can convince my self to pick up the Demon Start Collecting... I am down to Slaanesh and Khorne so my twisted tale of two households in love with violence may come to fruition. Still interested in getting Dark Eldar instead to help me stay strong from Malerion's eventual release...

As sad as I am the reveal was spoiled this model and the lore are still terrific and I am excited to learn more about the new best Chaos Lord ever since Archaon started riding ugly King Ghidorah... That Aelven exile is such a tease! Bring us the Kurnothi!!!

Oh wow that is awesome! You could totally make Necron Utrom, Seraphon themed Triceratons and Eldar Neutrinos! So many ideas lol

My guess is Eternus from Slaves to darkness tbh.

I have a feeling that they will be like a Paladin as they are in units of five.

This is why I think doing a sisters of battle Valaya faction with lots of emphasis on Valkyries. Winged units and pegaus pony riders and an emphasis on healing buffs. I could see it as a stand alone army or being souped into Fyreslayers with a kind of Orruk Warclans styled Worshipers of the Ancestor gods, or an expansion of cities of sigmar. Female dwarves are under represented and this would give a classic dwarf faction for AOS that is still ip friendly.

I hate to admit it but despite my love of Ogor Mawtribes they are the legacy army least in need of updates to models. Like when Skaven got passed over I was pretty shocked but Ogors still look great despite static poses and some resin models desperately in need of plastic. Seraphon on the other hand needs major overhauls to both their plastic and resin kits! Obviously we are getting a free cities rework but that is another faction in desperate need of updates. Beasts of chaos are also in desperate need for updates. I think between Warcry and Underworlds Ogors can be brought up to snuff pretty quickly.

I think you are just mixing up universes

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/09/01/nova-open-reveals-bring-ruin-to-the-realms-with-this-slaves-to-darkness-launch-set/ Have we had any leaks for Chosen Statlines? I am much to tempted by this box but I feel like 2 units of Chosen feels overkill. Hopefully they have decent range on those axes!

@KingBrodd King of the Community! Based on the quote I posted above I am not surprised. I am only surprised that they captured Brodd's old Profile Picture exactly 😝 I will confess I was hoping we'd get news on a Vanguard box for the ogors and I feel like the new hunter indicates it might include elements from BCR and Gutbusters? Also I am so badly tempted by the Chaos box but it is also going to be pretty expensive for me. I really love the chosen and Ogroids... but I was really debating only going one or the other and this box has two units of chosen... but they look so good! I still haven't opened my chaos knight box... maybe a swap is in order 🤯

It is so funny because in my personal narrative the Ogors are the protagonists. The ostensibly mortal inhabitants of a region caught between a war of heaven and hell. All they want is to push back both sides and return to peace.

Whelp the @Neverchosen feels like the @Everchosen today! 40K: Leagues of Votann are literally the best army in 40k aesthetically and thematically from the new mage to the engineer with his robobuddies I love this army so much. I have convinced my cousin to play them and I am just so excited to get a chance to see them on the tabletop! Khorne Berserkers, still fairly simple but I do like them and I could see myself with a bone power armoured army… if I don’t go demons or undivided. Underworlds: Nice looking unit, I feel like the previewed the best of the three already but the others are nice. HH: I was actually one hundred percent jazzed and almost completely sold on making a Horus Heresy CSM army that would double as 40K… then they said it was Forgeworld resin and it unfortunately turned into a hard pass. AGE OF SIGMAR: EVERYTHING WAS AWESOME! @KingBrodd King Brodd!!! New Ogor Hunter that matches my army aesthetic and theme perfectly!!! S2D Box that will absolutely pair with my current army perfectly!!! Honestly my only negative reaction was from the Horus reveal being resin.

Ogors and Slaves to Darkness same year... this is going to hurt the ol' bank account Oh well it isn't like I decided to impulse buy a box of 40k Chaos Knights earlier in the Year. 😅 Still I am very excited for my favourite armies to get some love. As for Ogor Vanguard box I expect 4 Units of Gnoblars with a gnoblar chieftain. All updated sculpts and massive nerfs to their godly stats. I wonder if the LoV batrep is previewing their box set? The article mentions it is combat patrol sized.

I keep telling myself my Ogor army is done, but that sounds like an instant purchase... although if the soup rumours are true a giant might find its way onto the team... also some yhetees would make a fine addition if they ever get plastics. I also just noticed that I will able to watch the nova reveals barring any last minute changes to my work schedule so the hype is finally real!!!

RIP Greatest Start Collecting set!

I feel like Imperial Knights show that GW will keep their big army separate for folks to purchase a separate tome.
