  1. I actually did some comparison to OBR and IDK: OBR: total warscrolls = 17 (of which 4 old so 13 new). New kits = 11. IDK: total ws = 14 with 11 kits Hence my prediction would be that we will see some sort of smaller monster or warmachine associated with "Scinari". We will see that the Stoneguard is a dual kit for a Scinari elite unit (with different helms and weapons, I think the cow-helms where made like that to easily distinguish them from the other version on the table top). We will then also see another generic hero that is a dual kit with a named char, i.e. similar to Liege-Kavalos/Zandtos or Akhelian King/ Volturnus for some more choice to use as a General. I think we wont hear anything really until they have confirmed a date when their factories and shipping are up and running again because they need to keep som dry gunpowder and they simply don't have that much left and in particular since no one knows how long this lock down will continue (could easily be another 6-8 weeks), so they cant afford to continue the drip feed. When they have the date, they will announce pre-release and they will have quite a chunky update to bring up the hype again by revealing the "Scinari" aspect, that will turn out to be either wind or river, quite likely these units will also be a bit less controversial than the hammer/cow aesthetics so they can "end o a safe note". This would bring us up to 14 warscrolls on 11 kits (i.e. same as OBR/IDK). They will keep Tyrion and the other 2 aspects in their back pocket for the future. But all in all that should make for a pretty decent amount of choice and cool units to build lists from, in particular if they make all of the three basic units decent enough to be viable choices so we avoid the IDK situation of only eels (i.e. their elite) being really playable. Just some thoughts but I wouldn't go down the despair well just yet and as others have said, sure with hindsight this didnt play out that well but no one anticipated how far the effects of corona virus would go, in particular not in Jan when they planned all this. And yes someone made the decision along the way to thin out the content by going with a lowdown every 2nd week and they probably thought that would carry through the crisis but they underestimated how long it would take... so now they kinda ran out of ammunition and hence the lid on until they can open fully again. Thats my thoughts anyways.
  2. seems to me there should be 2 more kits/warscrolls based on: Alarith Stonemage Alarith Spirit of the Mountain Alarith Stoneguard Scinari Cathallar ie Alarith =3x, Scinari so far = 1x, and Hysh is all about symmetry right?
  3. @CommissarRotke yep seems it linkes from the link in the beginning that says sneak peeks at some you haven’t! maybe that is the bottom of that sculpt, ie the mage guy is meditating on top of that pointy rock (seems it also has the mountain rune on it)
  4. Hi guys, what do you think about this list? too trolly? ^^ Liege-Kavalos (General) Soulmason 3x Boneshaper 40x Mortek 20x Mortek 20x Mortek 10x Mortek 10x Mortek Shrieker
  5. NP make sure to get yourself a wet pallet if you don't have it (also plenty on YouTube videos on how to create one), and then I promise u won't regret moving to something in droppers ^^
  6. not really a recipie but if you have not seen already there is an ivory in the vallejo range (model color) that is really nice to work with (also generally great as an offwhite)
  7. Has anyone had success playing vs bonereapers so far?
  8. Guys, is there any point in picking the net launcher for the sharks? seems to me harpoon is less swingy and better range so just better?
  9. sure so they have a stream on twitch which they also make available as a podcast (available eg on acast, think also on youtube), about monthly they do what they call a "stats show" and in that they go through the current most updated stats they have and discuss trends meta etc. their data is collected continuously from tournaments around the globe by TOs submitting results, this is where the 69% match win rate stat that was referenced is from. but the voice over is quite helpful, they go into a bit more detail, eg apparently petrifex sits at 75% win rate (average of 69 pulled down a bit by other builds that are not as powerful) so clearly the indication is that this subfaction is quite strong hope that's helpful!
  10. yes, the honest wargamer touch on this a bit in the podcast, apparently they have seen similar strong starts before, namely FEC/Skaven/Slaanesh. if you look at eg sylvaneth or ogre mawtribes there is no apparent "new book boost" though, so I would think actual power level of the book is really more important than the New Thing factor..
