The Brotherhood of Necros

I hold out hope to see Seraphon Saurus Guard and now Flagellants as an Underworlds or Warcry update at some point in the future.

Squigs go pop

Imagine a godbeast the size of, say, Alarielle’s figure, surround by swarms of epic-scale infantry. SO cool!

Really hoping there’s some juicy new lore in the first Harbingers book this weekend 🤞🏻

The Alchemite was the surprise star of the show for me. These aren’t just the collegiate wizards of yore transplanted into the Mortal Realms anymore

I need some of these apes for my Lustria gaming board, but I was also thinking how cool an ape/Lustrian-themed Beastmen army would be. Planet of the Apes meets The Descent kind of vibe. But then I find apes absolutely terrifying so maybe that’s just me. 🙉

I’d say that puts the *suspected* bell-ringer rat from the Rumour engine as part of a larger future Skaven update… 🤩

Beauuutiful ratties

WOW

I haven’t the foggiest but the popcorn is ready 🤓

T-minus TWO HOURS, PEOPLE

I just can’t WAIT to see all the realm-themed Cities the community is going to make. —All the Death iconography (or regiments of skellies alongside regular folk!) —The creepy crawlies and living flora of Ghyran (you could probably make a nice floating war altar using that floating waterfall terrain piece). —Cog-themed armies of clockwork automata marching ahead of engineers from Chamon. —Super-sleazy militia from Misthavn with lots of pirate/sailor trinkets. Flotilla-themed altars and strange idols to Sigmar the Drowned. Cities needs to get here already!

I could definitely picture a steam-tank war altar — on the one hand, the whole ”going out into the dangerous wilds” would kind of necessitate an armoured, practical war altar capable of withstanding whatever the realms can throw at it. On the other hand, the crusades themselves are sort of a religious/fanatical movement, right? Sigmar’s devout, heading out to reclaim their lands. So from that point of view I could see heavily armoured/mechanised war altars, too. I’m picturing a huge snow plough covered in sigils, steered by a priest 😂 🤷

Okay, so Warcry is definite from the logo. The symbol bottom-left is very Kruleboyz, and we know a Destruction warband is coming, so I think this image is nodding to that. Whitefang then points us to that episode, which has Cities folk in it. And we know an Order warband is coming… So we COULD be getting CoS vs Kruleboyz for Warcry on Sat?!

Between this and the Skaven teaser I have totally lost the plot in terms of what might be coming for which system and I AM HERE FOR IT

Cities vs Darkoath?!

Any other Rumour engines we could possibly attribute to Skaven/bells/a grey seer or rat ogre?

If there’s a band of merry ratmen whose sole motivation is to scurry from realm to realm ringing every bell they can find, I’m in.

OMG But is it Warcry, AoS or Underworlds?!

Gork, Mork and… Pork? Gorkamorkaporka? All tremble before the Great Green Fist of Pork

Love that they kept this one quiet until now, only a few days of waiting!!!

Given we’ve just had a Soulblight and a FEC warband, winter’s Death will presumably be Ossiarch or Nighthaunt!

I feel like @Whitefang has previously alluded to Morghur’s coming in the not-too-distant future…?

I am just about starving for the next Old World update! 🤓

Would fit the lure theme they have going on across various models/lore. And I struggle to think they’d go with a beastie as generic and non-copyrightable as a kraken. Fingers crossed…
