I have mentioned earlier in the thread: I personally think that Slaangors are Slaanesh corrupted Bullgors. I think that Tzaangors are Tzeentch's answer to traditional Gors and that when we get Nurgle and Khorne we will hopefully get an Ungor and Bestigor equivalents. I also want the warscrolls to not be a one to one but more in terms of compositionally they will reflect the more traditional gor archetypes but be more specialized.

I think that for the most part the God Specific Gors seem to fill a niche in the army: Tzaangors are a strong melee option for DoT and Slaangors seem a like they will be a little more durable than the more lithe followers of Slaanesh. 

I also really believe that Slaves to Darkness need to be able to take 1-4 units of Beasts into their army but they will only have access to God Specific beasts if the general has the appropriate mark (Starting general in the case of Ravagers). This is entirely for selfish reasons as I love Beasts and Chaos Warriors standing side by side and I think both factions need some help from one another.

Going to guess the Pestigors being very much Nurgle Ungors to fill the gap of poxwalkers in AOS and match up with the Bloodreavers, Acolytes and now the Blissbards.

Khornate Bestigors is also just too much of a good thing to not really do?

The Grand Alliance Chaos book has all the rules for the Chaos-Aligned Warcry Warbands.

I've seen nothing if the rules have been updated or changed at all, but if they have, will likely make the book a must for many.

Appears to have stock of the Tzeentch and some others- but its vanishing fast

Thanks man.

Managed to sort one out as well as a Gloomspite one for my partner.

Looks like I'll be in the good books on Christmas now

They seem to have stock of all of the AOS and 40k ones except the Necron one if anyone else is still hunting for one before the scalpers start slapping them on Ebay for £200

Disappointed I couldn't grab a Tzeentch one.

Hoping GW runs some more printing and they'll appear again in a few weeks, but chances seem very slim.

Battleforce prices have been posted

£125, €160, $210 for all 4 AoS boxes

higher prices this time around but the discount is the same for the larger amount of models in these boxes this year.

Only an extra £5 on top of the most expensive boxes from last year but having a good chunk (£40-50) more value is a good sign

Glad those initial rumours of £140-150 didnt turn out true

[The Rumour Thread]

God I've never been so tempted by a new army before but how can I not have that new Sigvald model?

It's absolutely perfect

well there is no Warcry for this preview

I could have sworn it was going to have something.

My bad.

Most definitely betting Beastgrave reveal now

[The Rumour Thread]

On terms of that mystery sorcerer, wouldn't be surprised if it's a part of the Warcry/Shadespire teaser.

Possibly part of a new release of the Mercs + Monsters for the Catacombs era or more likely part of the Beastgrave warband teasers

[The Rumour Thread]

Speculation/Pessimism.

With all this price hike, I would not be surprised if the Christmas Battleforce boxes are going to be £150+, and/or are going to be a significantly worse saving that previous years. 

[Future expansion of original warbands?]

Could be possible but I'd doubt it. 

The Warbands feel fairly "fleshed out". 

I'd vouch that we're more likely to see more warbands and expansions over building up the original content, similar to Shadespire.

My Predictions for Gridrion and Glory :
Gridiron - Definite Bloodbowl, in-depth look at the new Season 2 Box, 4th Team Announced (If we include the Undead from the other month)

Glory - Probably going to be Direchasm. Full look at Lumineth and Slaanesh teams.
Would also vouch for it being a look at Warcry Season 2 - Possibly showing as to where the additional warband boxes are going to go and I'd certainly guess it'll to be focused with non-Chaos forces in mind. I can't see GW making 8 Chaos Factions and only having 1 other non-Chaos faction represented with custom faction elements.
I'd guess with the theme of "Catacombs", they might have a look at the ugh "Darker" factions (hence the Shadowstalkers, bc whats spooky scary than spooky scary assassin elves with spooky shadow cloaks?).

Could be where the Vampire/Soulblight rumour engines are heading towards, with new sculpts for Warcry maybe?
More likely they'll end up with the Direchasm though.
Wouldn't surprise me at all if at least one of those pays off this Saturday, but if it doesn't... I'd call Soulblight for Christmas.

I don't really expect anything for 40k or AOS though, there seems to be a massive backlog in the other games and I'm guessing they'll be the push towards Christmas, minus the Broken Realms AOS Book and the remaining supplements/models for 40k.

These boxes would probably not happen, but it would be cool if they did and might draw people in to armies we do not see much:

 

Cities of Sigmar - Hammerhall freeguild. General on Griffon, 2 units of demigryphs, a mix of guard, greatswords and/or handgunners.

Ogors - Tyrants - Ironguts, gluttons, ironblaster, gnoblars

OBR - Cav focus with Liege, 2 units of deathriders, some stalkers, possibly morghasts.

 

Especially a hammerhall box would require immense willpower for me not to start that cities army

 

 

Based entirely on the two different SC! boxes not having any humans in, and COS being one of three order factions missing a battleforce (Lumineth box didnt sell the best and Fyreslayers dont seem to have a range big enough for a battleforce that isnt just two SC! boxes), that COS box seems like a solid prediction

Will +1 Ogors and OBR, they seem certain at this point.

I'm going to give a shout though for the 4th box,

Beasts of Chaos.

I know everyone is on towards a mono-God GA Chaos, but my goats could use some friends and the range is definitely wide enough to fill out a box.
