Does Cathay really make sense though? Seems odd for them to be fighting in the Old World and then all of a sudden disappear completely. I guess you could make the argument that they were much like the real world early Ming dynasty around Zheng He’s time and were jetsetting around the world, and once the later Ming dynasty equivalent took over they destroyed their fleet and became isolationists. Well, I guess I just talked myself into it making sense.
Trade between the Old World and Cathay is still happening in this age, and they do send army forces to escort those trade caravans through the Dark Lands.

Intriguing post from my local store:
Weird hint about weird things, or just some Warhammer store staff jibber-jabber? I'm kind of assuming the later.Please tell me most people in the comments are replying on their question with...
"I use 40k Imperial Guard minis"

Since we, ToW players, also deserve our own baseless rumours to discuss about, I'll share this post from Reddit from the user NadaVonSada:
Honestly, besides the thing about the VC, everything else feels like very safe guesses.
If true, I'd assume Vampires would be the antagonist of an hypothetical second campaign book, after the one about the Chaos invasion, either jumping to the Vampire wars, or making up a new event after Magnus vs Asavar to keep the timeline flowing in the same direction.I still believe Honest Wargamer’s rumour-guy is genuine since they got the Bone Dragon right, so I’m not buying it that we won’t get the Chaos Mammoth back.

Antwerp is battling over Moonstrike Harbour, while I think the store down in Brussels fights over TallowTown. Finally, Ghent has the city of Goblet Oaks. I only know that TallowTown is a city in Aqshy.

Fun little fact and one I was slightly expecting/ hoping for. The Map on the Old World website has updated with new info for Orc & Goblin faction banners, including a blurb for the Dark Lands, Crooked Moon, and Black Crag.

Btw, on the tale they talk about The Screaming One.
That title isn't actually referring to the Great Horned Rat, but is rather held by a verminlord! Comes from Total Warhammer 2. It's the demon you summon as a skaven player during the Great Vortex campaign.
This piece of art is often confounded with the god itself, but it's actually the Screaming One, if I remember well.
That is the Great Horned Rat you just posted.
The Screaming one, you meet after the first phase of the Skaven Ritual. He shows himself like this to the Grey Seer and his companion.

This tiny lore segment on these guys already makes me adore them. Love 'Chaos' aligned factions that are trying to resist the Gods, adds so much.
The Great Patch is fast becoming my favourite stage in AoS.
Heldenarr has surely got to be a major narrative character surrounding this.
(Please read Godeater's Son if anyone hasn't, it's phenomenal).
That Gnome team is easily my favourite reveal though. Is this the first time GW have done a Gnome race? I don't remember ever seeing them in miniature or lore before. Absolutely love the designs.
Gnomes were a thing back in the olden days of Fantasy, but have recently been readded during WFRPG 4th edition.
The most surprising reveal today.

I feel the mention of Infernal Guard is a weird sort of placeholder to allow you to both use the Forgeworld Infernals, and the ancient normal Chorf warriors as the same unit, without needing to make seperate datasheets for two units who essentially work very similarly.

A little timeline video by Arbitor Ian.
For those interested in fluff. A few pointers I've noticed.
- Cathay and Kislev get their own blurbs and mentions, which is interesting, if not a heavy point of speculation.
- MALERION?! not Malekith?

BY THE WAY...
What did they mean with the "BORDER PRINCES BOMBARD"?!

If there were another tomb kings plastic kit coming, I think it would be in the army box. IMO the dragon is the only new plastic kit the tomb kings will get, and anything else new will be individual resin heroes.
If we are trusting Valrak's rumours about the box contents, than we know that the Foot Knights won't be in that box.
I'm now speculating that we might still get other plastic stuff for the TK, but it won't be featured in the army box.

It's from Hastings, dude came back into the rumour mongering game for TOW after years of nothing. He said this in some blog post comments if I remember correctly. He talked about Brets and TK being the 1st to receive minis with plastic grail/questing knights, knights on foot and a plastic lord/king on hippogryf for the Brets, plastic Ushabti and skeletons for the TK. He said after Brets and TK were done O&G were the next army in line with a plastic boss on wyvern, new orc boyz and plastic pump wagons.
I'm trying to find where he posted this. Do you recall where Hastings posted this specific rumour?

I'm sorry, when and where did we get news about a Liche Priest riding a DRAGON?!
I recall the Honest Wargamer propping up that idea a motnh or two ago.
Actually looking at that rumour, I don't really believe it. It feels to just list off stuff we've already seen, sprinkled in with the few rumours we have seen so far.

What are people actually expecting the other two factions will be? Save bet to be one of each Grand Alliance?

That ain't a brute on the top of that Mawgrunta. That is a Boss at least.

So :
1. It's the Warcry logo mixed with the Chaos Stars and Barbarians weapons - looking Darkoath-y
2. There is some sort of Kruleboyz logo (or is it a Reptilian Seraphon head) ?
3. Per leaks and Roadmap we know there is a new Starter Set coming. And that there are NO Chaos teams in the first releases of the next season.
4. The Hammer & Bolter Episode was about Darkoaths versus Cities of Sigmar.
So... It's 100% for Warcry
It could be a stand alone supplement, or the Starter set is in fact CoS vs Darkoath (and the one recently leaked was a Nobles & Barns edition or something similar).
BUT we already have a Darkoath warband for Warcry, so...
The Roadmap isn't giving us Chaos related warbands for a long while, unless they are giving us a headstart to Spring.
Darkoath? Nah...

He was the bell striker for the screaming bell. If my memory serves me correctly.
So how likely is it going to be that the next Underworld Warband is just a full Screaming bell retinue?

Probably all of the old Empire range will stay for The Old World. Not sure if the Steam Tank already exists at the point in time TOW is set, thought.
TOW is set specifically in a time when there were more Steam Tanks than during the time of Karl Franz.

The Steam Tank I believe is gonna stay, even as a unit for The Old World.
Wasn't it speculated that it might get redesigned in a second wave for the CoS

Whitefang reacted to my rant about Ogor identity.
Does that mean he appreciates or agrees with the sentiment...
Or do you know something that I don't?!

I like the soundesign too. When the Stormcasts move and shoot, you hear lots of metallic clangs as their big armors move. That's neat little worldbuiding.
Also they took the time to fully translate. That's amazing !A game called Realms of Ruin better include Skaven

I always felt that the identity of the Mawtribes is both tied way to heavily on their Old World design, and to being second banana to the Greenskinz.
The Beastclaw Raiders were a step in the right direction, but their veneration of GorkaMorka still makes me feel like its a missed opportunity.
Gloomspite are way more tied to the Bad Moon then they do to the Twin-headed god, and looking at their religion in the Old World would make them staunch Naturalists; their gods are a crater and a volcano in Fantasy.
The Maw-tribes' culture lack an identity in the Grand Alliance that could be easily dealt with by them not worshipping the Green-God. Let their gods be the very realms themselves. Death-Ogors worshipping the Nadir, Beast-Ogors venerating the Beastgrave, etc.

If you go even further back to stuff like Golgfag's mercenary ogres, they weren't that heavy-set. They were always into eating, but the thicc boi aesthetic comes from relatively late WHFB (7th edition IIRC?). Presumably these Sigmarite ("2nd generation") ogres don't have that much in common with the wilder kinds, a bit like how Dispossessed are rather different from Fyreslayer and Kharadron dwarfs. It makes sense that there'd be both thinner and thicker ones.
I also believe that the Ogres back in the World-that-was heavily gained their girth from the influence the Great Maw had on them. It is a canon thing that their hunger couldn't be satiated after the Great Maw appeared on the world. No more Maw, means no influence that keeps them going after that endless hunger.

The Rumour Thread
in Age of Sigmar Discussions
Posted
I always find it peculiar how we've never seen the Age of Reckoning Skaven aesthetic for the Warlock Engineer.
I get it would fit the design of an Arch-Warlock a lot more, but I don't think we've ever seen a Skaven look truly like this Brass Beauty of a warp-wizard.
