    The Rumour Thread

    Okay, so about the fate of Khul and Vandus in the last Dawnbringers book.

     

    Spoiler

    During the preview, the announcer said that we will also see an end to Khul's journey for the last skull he needs, namely Vandus', to ascend to Deamonhood. But he also said that their battle would end in an unexpected way, which leads me to believe that Vandus will kill Khul in the end.

    But how have you come to this conclusion you might think, well here is my logic.

    Khul has been on the path to Deamonhood for quite a while now. His tactical knowledge far outstrips that of even the most seasoned generals, he even had a Dawnbringers story about himself and the visions his chief shaman has, where he sees Khul with wings and a tail, typical Deamon stuff.

    Vandus has also been losing his mind in the narrative, to the point where he has to be locked up in a basement when he isn't leading the hammers of Sigmar, also he has become obsessed with finding Khul and righting a wrong generations in the making.

    Now, many of us thought that an Ascended Khul model would be coming with the last installment in the Dawnbringer narrative, but we are only getting Abraxia, kinda weird to be missing one of the more prominent chaos characters during a book all about chaos where they are also featured, right?

    Now all of this information makes it seem like the deck is stacked against poor Vandus as if he is fated to fall and be little less than the sacrificial lamb for whom Khul can use for his triumph, but what if a certain someone were to interfere? "wink wink" nudge nudge"

    So I guess that GW is pulling a fast one on us and making it look like Khul will win, but somehow Vandus triumphs in the end, Khul is killed and his model will be renamed to Mighty lord of Khorne for good and Vandus will get a shiny new Ruination chamber model.

    Or maybe GW simply thinks that the audience by default thinks that the Stormcast will win, but Khul actually wins and gets a new model when BT: Blades of Khorne releases.

    Do you think the model mondays will be reserved for the new starter set? Full reveal of the box will probably happen 1 month from now, so 4 weeks of lesser reveals from starter box seems like some good teasers to keep us interested.

    Sigmar lied about where humans come from. Humanity went extinct after the end times and Sigmar figured out how to transfigure Skaven into humans. That's why Ghouls are hunched over and grow so much fur, they are returning to R.A.T.

    Honestly I'd be fine with the Silent Ones just being a Warcry and Underworlds warband to represent one of the smaller weird parts of the setting. Then if they're popular and GW think it has legs and popularity then expand them into a full faction for Destruction.

    Reads like the best option for expanding the denizens of the mortal realms without having to make a too large up-front investment. 

    I could totally see Kurnothi, Silent People, Ogor subcultures, and other displaced races fighting under the Cities of Sigmar banner as a warcry warband that may or may not be expanded on a few years down the line. Just the added versatility and world-building this would bring would be realm-shaking.

    Is this art of the silent people in the latest white dwarf new? weird they get a mention after such a long period of silence(haha), it's a cool design though

    Holy Sigmar!

    Silent ones exist and aren't just lore filler for Beastgrave anymore, and the lore says that they are on the move.

    Maybe we could see a Warcry warband for them at some point, an unaffiliated destruction warband until they can become a proper army one day.

    No. At this point I believe that we gaslighted each other that it was a real rumour and we'll get Lady of Ruin + some Nurgle character from Rumour Engines at most.

    What if the real Khorgus were the Khul we killed along the way?

    I wonder if GW will try to do something similar to Marines in 40k, with AoS factions? 

    A larger "standard" Battletome and then Battletome supplements for "sub-factions" 

    A STD Battletome and then a Darkoath Battletome supplement? Or  Orruk Battletome with Iron Jaw supplement, etc?

    (Side note, does anyone else find it a little galling that the new Dark Angel Codex supplement is RRP £20 for a Hardback 96 page book compared to £32.50 for 96 page hardback Battletome (Like Fyreslayers, or Kharadron)? 

    GW tried that in the early stages of AoS with the Stormcast extremis book that only had Dragons in it, but those failed hard. Peachy also goes into this subject in one of the painting phase videos, but can't remember which one it is. 

    And AoS is much better for it if you ask me, I don't need every stormhost to have 4 unique units and chaos to be divided even further than it is now.

    Now that Darkoath's out the way... leaves space at Adepticon for Lady of Ruin, Khul and the 4th edition reveal ! Maybe not the full box but a SCE and a Skaven with a cinematic trailer ! Let's goooooooooo

    The last adepticon was packed. The Lion and the reveal of the last Arks of Omen, CGI trailer for the Leviathan box set, the first look at the CoS, and the full reveal of the new Seraphon. Amazing event. 

    This year these are my predictions for the event:

    AoS: Launch edition trailer and 2 model remakes shown off for both the Skaven and Stormcast

    Dawnbringers book 6 reveals the lady of ruin.

    Underworlds: New season

    40k: Mysterious codex revealed, rumors say Agents of the Imperium with some models

    Kill team: New box with Votaan and Jeanstealer cults

    Old world: Dwarf box reveal

    HH: Something I guess. Maybe some new resin tanks go to plastic.

    GW will react anytime soon to that big leak... right ? Right ? Their radio silence is a bit off putting. Maybe they pretend that if they ignore the leak it'll go away ?

    They kinda have already, but I don't think the social media intern knows what has or hasn't been officially revealed...

    Also, the contrast is so jarring between those Darkoath, so look so dynamic, agressive, detailed... and that squat,  W I D E  Custodes on his tactical rock pointing his spear in front of him.

    Keep winning Age of Chadmar.

    The contrast is jarring between the Custodes and the ork mek that was revealed. The Kroot have been gorgeous too and a lovely addition to 40k and they style all over that banana hat.

    It just seems that the space marines and space marine adjacent factions have fallen victim to their own success a little bit. Too popular so GW knows that the models will sell no matter what.

    Deffo the AoS team is pushing the limits! Especially if you compare them to this Custode that seems to be coming from 2015:

    I wonder if they move the best sculptors into AoS trying to push the game or it is just a coincidence...

    Diversity win: The Custodes have started to let Kin from the LoV into their ranks in a show of abhuman solidarity.

    Last Warhammer Day had 4 reveals.

    Arks of Omen: Farsight with accompanying model

    Boss Snikrot along the AoO

    And the reveal for the Khorne and Slaanesh battle tome with their respective foot heroes

     

    So from that information, I will guess that the last Dawnbringers book will be revealed with 2 models shown, and the reveal of the new characters that Custodes and Orks will get in 40k.
