Probably just wishful thinking, but what if the FS tome is using the old artwork as a placeholder as the new artwork depicts a yet to be revealed new model?

It's just custom scenery they make for box shots when they do the FOMO boxes. Kinda sad.
Yeah, so close yet so far to the dream of crab cavalry, or crabalry as is the techical term

Crab?! Wake up crab! Don't go into the light!

Without getting too deep.
Painting minis is one of the few things I fee like I'm good at, so looking over my models and feeling pride brings me a lot of joy. Also having a physical object to keep and the end of a day's painting I find satisfying. Plus seeing my gradual improvement when comparing older models to my later models gives me a chance to see progress, which is hard to come by in day to day life.
Also I just think Warhammer looks really cool when it's all painted up.

Reasonable. But Nighthaunt to my knowledge didn't receive a Tome Celestial up until now and are very lilely to get a new tome plus accompanying one new model released.
I personally would also expect Sylvaneth to get a new proper tome instead of a Tome Celestial soonish, because the last thing they need is having their rules even more scattered across several books and online documents.
Couldn't agree more, keeping track of the Sylvaneth rules is a nightmare at the moment, I'm starting a PtG campaign with them soon so a new tome coming would be a godsend.

Wanted to post this here to see what people think of my theory. I crossed the armies off the list that have been covered already last year. Gargants havent had a release recently but i think they are fine the way they are for now. I'm pretty sure now that Dragon ogors will get a release this season. I also noticed a link with Fyreslayers and Ogors exists in Ghur. A sign for Firebellies?
Any one of these has the potential for some awesome designs, I hope you're right!

Any new gloomspite troggoth model is my dream come true, a wizard or behemoth troggoth would be the icing on the cake, when they announced "Age of the Beasts" I was expecting a steady announcement of new monsters for every army month by month. My hopes might have been a little optimistic...

I actually think Kruleboyz are a kind of range refresh. The old Orks and the shields with faces on them, the Gitmobs warmachine influences like the Beast-skewer Killbow and the Sloggoth. They are very similar imho. I'm still hoping for something totally new for Destruction.
Edit: I also would like to see some warmachines make a comeback like the Doomdiver or the Pumpwagon. A new Hellcannon and Doomwheel would be awesome too.
That's a good point, I didn't consider that they are the refreshed orks weirdly haha. The chunky Warhammer orc is so iconic though, but maybe they want to separate how orks look between 40k and AoS

To be honest I think the Kruleboyz are the new destruction faction for this edition (though they got put into a souped battletome) I'm expecting a neglected army range refresh for summer and something completely new for the end of 2022

Something I'm curious about but do people tend to hope new units for factions be designed to fill mechanical holes or lore ones? Obviously they can, and often do, do both. But which is more relevant to you?
Like I'd love to see a new wave of Deepkin releases but I'd be more interested in them exploring a new area of Idoneth society through it. Something like the current range being focused on raiding settlements for souls whilst the new ones might those used to capture and tame the creatures the Deepkin make use of.
For me, though I have recently started playing the game too, it's mostly about wanting new and interesting sculpts to paint. And since I like painting with bright and varying colour I end up wanting things like new trolls and tree-spirits as you can go crazy on them.
A few more sea monsters for IDK and I'd be fully in to start a new army, and I think we'll get them. At minimum new crabs, I'm sure pound signs lit up in GW's eyes when they saw the reaction to Duinclaw.

Sounds like an awesome group of friends. But as I said I totally get it as well and I wouldn't want you to bother them. But they were cool rumours so I hope they turn out to be real. 😁
Yeah was good to catch up, hadn't seen most of them since I dropped out lol, I hope it's true too! Either way I was just happy to get some rumours, though Warhammer shares so many fantasy tropes with other IPs that it could be something totally different

I know you don't know them well but would you not be able to get in touch with them and say something like, "I overheard some of what you were saying and it sounded pretty cool, do you happen to play Age of Sigmar?". Worst case scenario is that they ignore you and the best case scenario is that you find someone to talk about the hobby with. Also no pressure as I am personally a rather shy person and would likely be unable to ask.
No matter the case those are some very interesting rumours. I am particularly fond of the various beast rumours.Hey, sorry I don't know them too well so would feel awkward asking, also if it turns out to be about AoS I don't wanna get them into trouble for sharing it.
A lot of people from the course at least know of Warhammer though so I wouldn't be surprised if they played, we were all a pretty nerdy bunch

Lava lobber sounds more Fyreslayer to me(dwarfs had the goblobber in the older edition of whfb iirc).
Unless is a firebelly siege weapon...but idk.
Ah good point, I forgot dwarfs also use words like lobber, I was thinking big troll throwing lava but fyreslayers seems more likely what with the lava and all

Sounds very interesting!! I'll take it with a pinch of salt but I'll keep an eye out for anything that appears like the aforementioned. Especially for the Spite King which sounds very Sylvaneth and the Herd Stone Beast!!
Yeah it might just be that I've got AoS on the brain after all!

Hey all, I'm gonna bite the bullet and spread some rumours that I overheard whilst meeting up with some old uni coursemates over the Christmas period.
Please note I have no idea if these are even Warhammer related as the person didn't directly say "Warhammer" or "Age of Sigmar" but some of the descriptions made my ears ****** up at the pub, you'll see what I mean I hope.
Also I don't know the person very well so I was eavesdropping whilst also trying to remain part of a different convo so I missed a lot of the details, but I remember their end of year project being a collection of Zbrush sculpts of various monsters.
Anyway so they were talking about projects they were working on and the person was asked if they had sculpted any cool monsters recently. Here are the bits I heard:
- "Lava lobber" made me think orc/gobbo siege weapon, but since they were talking about monsters probably something different.
- "Spite King" something about big wings and I'm sure i heard "behemoth" used... or maybe it was just "moth" idk.
- Some kind of big corrupted monster with horns with a stone shard (herdstone maybe) impaled through it's chest, I didn't catch a name for that one.
- "(blank) the Twisted" can't remember the name but described as a beast wizard with overgrown horns and hooves so much that he can't walk and has to be carried around in a big bird nest type thing.
And that's all I heard! Again please take with a huge grain of salt as Warhammer was not directly mentioned. Just the mention of "lobber" made me listen in as a Gloomspite collecter.
Also if anyone knows better and can stop me from getting my hopes up please do!
Either way I'm looking forward to whatever this project they're working on turns out to be as it sounded pretty cool.

Anyone hear anything about that old beasts of chaos vs gloomspite box rumour that was making the rounds a while back? I'm assuming it's been confirmed as a dud now we know the next box set
-
Honestly I discount any leak calender that mentions Silent People, it's quite nice to have an instant indicator that confirms a rumour source is fake

Damn, not a fan of when they put character models in these boxes, wanted the pick up the Sylvaneth one but already got Drycha. Would the Drycha sprue be an easy thing to sell if I picked up the box or is it not worth it?
-
Throwing my guess in for the new destruction faction as being boglars as has been mentioned before, the email teaser banner front face looks pretty much the same as one of the few pictures I can find of them. Also the old white dwarf article also mentioned they ally with strange cyclopeon creatures (fimir) so everyone's a winner!
Here's hoping we also get some whacky toad cavalry and a new plastic river troll hag!
