I also know that Stormcast Eternals, in said develoment cycle, got also the opportunity to access those Dragonrider dudes or Paladin units as Battleline, adding their Battleline options up to approximately 37. Meanwhile Kruleboyz have one very mediocre Battleline unit and the option for another one, adding up to an impressive total of two, if going with Big Yellers. And I seriously doubt there will be more because by now they would have probably given us an article about it to keep up some level of excitement after postponing the tome's release.
But how can you remain that optimistic after weeks of nothing except two sculpts without (except the Underworld Grot and the vulture boy) and nerfs to Ironjawz?
Firstly we have absolutely no set statement on anything battleline. as someone who has a lumineth army and watched the second release closely, they said nothing about bladelords being battleline until the book was already available for preorders for some time. we cant know what we are getting and we have 2 options of units that could very well be battleline. battleline is not dictated purely on allegiances either, any boss could bring the hobgrots or the sloggoths into battleline. the idea that they will give us everything in the books before preorder isnt likely at all because then they have nothing to spoil while between preorder and release.
secondly it is hard to remain optimistic but i think more then a few of us here arent looking for a top tier army or even much above mid tier. yes its nice to win but as woolf pointed out buffs and nerfs can and will happen but atleast we have amazing models. im sorry for your disappointment but i doubt ironjaws were nerfed for kruleboys but rather likely for a change in big waaaghs abilities. there is no proof that some changes (possibly strong ones) havent been made to many allegiance abilities. be worried all you like but try and keep moral rather then shooting the book before it releases.-

Looks like a variant Killaboss.
This is what I was thinking. Killaboss with boss sticka like most of the mounted killabosses. Could be our warband guy could be a different kit all together. I don't think it's part of the gutrippa kit though. Just wish we could start getting some articles again...

If the schedule was kept, people would already have the new Battletome and thus 'spoilt' the Underworlds warbands if they were going to be featured. Since this is the first teaser we've had of the new season, I think it's fair to assume the warbands are not going to be included in the BT.
So the battletomes schedule was August. assuming they didnt allow preorders until this previous saturday. (to allow dates for this it would be aug 28th as the last day possible do preorders by the time they scheduled, and they showed the model the 30th) Most people wouldnt have the battletome until its actual release not its preorder thus they could still show these off and it wouldve been the same. Just saying necrons showed off units before they were released as well. still not impossible based off previous releases.

I doubt they'll be in the Battletome, we're already getting 3 of the warbands in there IIRC. But until the new season is out they won't be shown and hopefully we're actually getting the new book well before season 5 starter box comes out.
I mean necrons codex came out with unreleased models like the shadow dragon(? Think that's what it was called I don't remember sorry) so it not impossible that they include it in the tome. I mean your likely right I'm just stating it's not impossible.

Betting these guys will actually be in the battletome on release?
(Sorry posted as a statement not a question).

Since Dominion comes with 2 Battleline for SCE and only 1 for Kruelboyz I'd bet this is pretty close to on the money.
Sadly they did the same thing for slaanesh/daughters box so its possible the box uses the big yeller battleline much like how slaanesh could use godseekers to reach theirs. I have my doubts we are going to be like lumineth as theirs is meant to be a focus based on the military strategy. With us looking more like gorilla tactics I don't think it'll be battleline unlocking battleline. My money's on bosses unlocking battleline.

Totally forgot that the general could open some battleline options as well! None of the heroes seens to make much sense with the hobgrtoz by what we know so far, but maybe there is some lore we didn't saw yet to explain it.
I mean hobgoblins from fantasy were mercinaries. Literally anyone could do it just cause "lore reasons" and it's make perfect sense. I'm only leaning towards the breakaboss cause it's book art literally has the hobgrot banner in it.

Yeah, its probably just to show off the dominion content.
My fear is that if they are using our full rules from the upcoming tome, hobgrtoz will probably not be a battleline option. It would mean that neither Grinning blades sub allegiance or in the Kruleboyz allegiance. The Skulbugz sub allegiance would be the only one that hasn't been ruled out. If there is no way to make the hobgrotz count as battleline and if we don't get a way to use the Sloggoth as battleline, 2 of our 3 sub allegiances will be forced to always include 3 Gutrippaz for matched play. I really hope we get another battleline option other the Boltboyz, which are locked into a specific sub allegiance alredy.
I'm still going out on a limb with this but the breakaboss is often seen with them. THIS IS SPECULATION! But we could also have a general in the orruks that give them battleline. Doesn't have to be a hobgrot general. And with breakaboss being the only breaks unit (I'm counting both snatchaboss and skumdrekk for snatcha) he's kinda odd man out it's not impossible. And since it sounds like a dominion box matched game they wouldn't have included him. Just food for thought.

Soooo... I'm thinking of not getting the Battletome straight away( whenever it may drop). I have the Dominion half and I will totes get some big beasties at some point, but my Boyz aren't likely to see the table much any time soon so I'm not too keen to invest in everything.
Honestly I'm a little worried that there will be a 2nd wave of models along with a newer BT. LRL style. How likely do we think this will happen?
IF this happens I have doubts it's more for kruleboyz. IF they did this I'd say it would be expanding the ij and bs lines rather then much more for kb. Lrl had 2 reason I feel it was done, the defensive stance as stated above, and as a narrative play for broken realms. I feel the chances of kruleboyz getting much more at this point is second to none. I would on the other hand love to see new ij and bs units and would happily just buy another book if that happened. Honestly though I don't believe that the lrl battletome is a normal thing and I don't think it'll be seen much if at all again.

Age of Sigmar page on Facebook is offering apologies to people complaining about no BT pre-order, saying it's still something to do with pandemic and plans are changing, but it will be here "soon" apparently the WarCom article that mentions August pre-order has also been changed to show "soon".
This shadiness of not telling people what is going on, especially after the shenanigans pulled with Cursed City is sus to say the least. Just be honest and open with your customers, we actually understand that sometimes things don't work out as expected, but don't go radio silent about it.
Whelp apologies and defenses are done for now. Honestly it feels like they spent to much time peddling Warhammer plus and all its ****** and pushed us out of the way for it. I'm sick of getting Warhammer plus updates cause few if anybody I know or play with want anything to do with it. I would've ignored it fully if I hadn't seen a megaboss. I wanted to believe gw could keep to their schedule but it appears they can't. I'm more frustrated with the load of side projects jumping in front of us.

Are you guys painting up your hobgrotz? I find I've painted all my other Kruleboyz, but I'm hesitant to put the work into the little guys after reading a review (Goonhammer) that essentially said they were terrible...
So I have no proof other then pictures but I think the breakaboss will have something to do with them. In many pictures of the boss with the army you can find hobgrots near him and his book art has the hobgrot banner. All speculation but they might be worth painting if it's true. Either way you can wait on them for now.

Pretty sure that come Sunday we'll know that pre-order will be up the following Saturday. As much as I don't want to join in on ragging on GW at the moment all the previews saying "available in August" meaning that no, you can pre-order in August but you're not getitng anything in your hands until September, that's bad in my book. Especially for a new "army" having nothing to go off other than post after post teasing what's in the book, it's not a lot of fun and my hype is almost gone.
Not to white knight for gw cause I'm not thrilled with them either I do need to point out the announcement was available for preorder in August. As much as this hype train is dying let's not crucify them for things advertised badly but correct.

I think the breakaboss on mirebtute troggoth has some interaction with the hobgrots. In most of the pictures of it's model on the field it's near hobgrots but most interesting is in today's artwork of it you can clearly see the banner from the hobgrots. Anyone think it might be the general that makes them battleline?

I do like having a reasonable chance of a decent game and have already been burned by investing in gloomspite. They have great models but their rules are so bad that you eventually notice how hard it is to win vs other armies. Literally all armies are narrative but it can be immersion breaking when all your epically described things are thr very opposite in practice.
oh I completely agree. this wasn't me saying its 100% balanced this was a statement that it isn't balanced and yes in most (looking at gargants) cases destruction is a very narrative army. sadly I think that's where they want us. I'm merely saying that if anyone is getting into this army for competitive reasons you have 2 choices: look at order or play 40k orks RIGHT NOW because that's a ticking time bomb too.

You don't want it to be like either of those books. Space marines are rapidly disappearing under a bunch of ridiculous books. The last thing you want is to be a fair and balanced book at the beginning of an edition... you will just get overrun by the creep.. and that creep is guaranteed as it's how they push models.
I mean as much as I agree with this, even if we got something good it'd still be over run. For a while nurgle was strong in 40k now its starting to fall behind as well. honestly with power creep even if we got a strong book the rest would just be stronger. id honestly say we will probably not remain much above upper mid tier for long. we are not the next ko, dot, or lrl or anything top tier. I imagine we will be strong enough to start with then slowly make our way back down to mid tier. and we should be happy if we stay there and dont go lower. honestly this will end as a narrative army regardless of strength of tome at release cause we are a starting army. this is a bad thing though. its fine to be narrative in AoS. our tournaments are not as important to gw as 40k as such having a competitive army is more or less a bragging right over anything else. play the game to enjoy the game and don't worry about the rest.

If they give us a Battleline Cavalry reveal, or even just another Orruk infantry unit I'll be stoked.
At this point if we got cavalry I doubt it would be battleline and if it is it will be conditional.

Looks like we will have to wait another week (next Sunday will probably be our tome/models pre order announce), but on the bright side the article today say they have multiple models to reveal this week... Maybe we will get something?
I want to believe there still is. im holding last weeks bet. I DOUBT IT! but i want to believe.

I mean I also feel the beast-skewer has great potential, not just as a monster killer but a hero killer as well. I mean of course it won't happen often (almost never), but on that rare occasion you roll equal to the units wound characteristic and it does come up either all 5+ or enough to be within 2 of killing a unit, you might kill a hero for free.

Guess we will see. That still seems like the stereotypical answer to me but I'm still too hopeful. I don't think this will be a lrl release I think we are done when we're done. So let's hope to fill the last cracks but oh well otherwise.

Unfortunatly they confirmed multiple times on Facebook AoS profile that's all have been revealed for Kruleboyz. Stormcast probably will see some more before BT preorder.
Strange range : few units,very few battleline even compare to ironjawz and bonesplitterz, a lot of Monster heros ,just one non hero Monster.
You got the link to any of those Facebook posts? Not to doubt I'm just shocked cause they haven't confirmed it anywhere else.

Honestly I wouldn't expect anything for us at this point, but if they reveal anything Terrain/endless spells for the Warclans would be the most probable.
I'd happily take endless spells/terrain!

ok it took me a while to find the leak and i only found the brutes but they are looking amazing now? i understand mbmk got nerfed out of the 3+ (fixed to 2+ in many ways) with a 6++ to a 4+ and yes that sucks but unless we get something that tacks on available wounds like the mbmk i still think its great. yes the 3+ on kbgt is very strong and probably pushed for sales but its not like ironjawz didn't receive some buffs too. on ardboyz they have an extra attack now. granted the to hit is worse but ill take the extra attack that can have its on hit buffed back. also the ironjawz might get allegiance buffs. while i was looking at them recently they seemed a bit weak anyway so they might've been brought in line. lets wait and see but now that i found the links i understand your frustration but am not fully sure its as bad as was first stated.
