2 waves with just some months of difference for armies would be the worst idea possible If it will became the standard for GW releases.

Hold on a sec....boyz is the term used for orcs usually.
Not even Hobgoblin does iirc.
What If it is a complete armi with all the type of greenskins?
@HollowHillsi'd say the other day round about nobledark...whfb had always the grimdark tone of "chaos will win in the end",aos intsead ha more brightness.

I'd love them to be free of the "Hulk Smash" stereotype. I think it would be awesome to have a middle earth style Uruk Hai orc which was full of malice and raw power that would make a Khorne army jealous..
I think the major problems is that malice is difficult to convey visually.
Old world greenskins,40k ones and also aos ones have malicious and crafty sides, still this is mostly a lore piece not reflected in the models.
Orks in 40k have books full of the kultural side of the lore that you can't see normally for example.
Also i'd sy that orcs at least have the real raw power done in the best way, Khorne servants are still slaves to him and corrupt as chaos does in a way, destruction is the purest form of "survival of the fittest" we could see that even Uruks can't convey imho, because after all they're still servants of another power. -
The options to add some of these new ladz in Warclans is really interesting.
Maybe we're getting some orruks other than Hobgobz\grots.
@sandlemadso i'm not the only one that thought about him XD. -

Ooh, I wonder if we could be seeing cross-GA alliances for hobgobs and furnace kings 😍
More like slave units in the Chaos dwarves rooster XD .

I'd prefer them to start with the classic armies first than Cathay, while i'd have bought them immediately during whfb times now with TOW project they should concentrate more on the old faction redesigned for the new timeline and also bring back the squatted armies like Bretonnia.
IIRC the empire for example should not have battlemages as the colleges of magic were created with Magnus the Pious. -

so grimdark live says the name of the new box is called Dominion.
the goblinoid army is called the cruel boys/z?
they look like LOTR orcs so all mangled looking and such.
They have a unit called hobgobs who apparently trade to get weapons and armor from Chaos Dwarves!
Warboss is on a weird squig/wolf/bear critter
Shame with a black pot being stirred by a snotling.
There's something off surely, but Dominion sounds ok for the box name.
The name cruel boyz is totally different from most armies even the ones with early name syle like IJ and Fyreslayers.
Also i hope the LOTR look is just a "sort of example" as GW greenskins always had some common identity aesthetic and something like Lotr Orcs would be unfitting imho....but Idoneth were described as Cthulhuesque so i think is sort of the same case of "description ideas".
I really hope Hobgoblin chaos dwarves part is true cause it means they'll pop up more probably,still finally some Hobgoblin arrived in the mortal realms.
The wolf\squig critter is really nice idea but i think it could also be a guess based on the paw rumor engine.
Same for the Snotling with the black pot, seems a really nice piece.
Still idk they don't seems generics but also they don't seems having a theme like every aos faction has...
I'll probably get this box, the stormcasts seems nice and i like greenskins.-

Just had a thought. If these Hobgoblin rumors are true could it be that we’ll see a proper Chaos Dwarf release? With proper big hats, black orcs, and hobgoblin gits? I’ve always said they should be part of destruction instead of Chaos.
In AOS we at least have 2\3 origin stories about chaos worshipping Dwarves(Furnace Kings, that runeson inscribing pillars with praise to the father of darkness and Zharr Vyxa in Ulgu) and also Hashut lore bits here and there.
Still Chaos darves symbolizes the evils of industrialization like pollution and other bad sides of society so they are a complex civilization.
Considering Hashut was and his a Chaos god i don't think they'll go anywhere but in the Chaos GA, still they could have Hobgoblin troops\slaves as in the old world.-

@dirkdragonslayerwe need an aos version of the Red Gobbo as the new main face of destruction.
Age of Grots!
BTW the Grot revolutionary makeshift vehicles coul be a nice idea to adapt for ramshackle grotbag scuttler skyhips.

Honestly I feel like that particular angle of hardcore suicide troops - dwarf slayers, Death Company, flagellants, Sisters Repentia, Medusan Immortals - is a little overdone in GW games buuuut imagining how they'd sculpt a skeleton/armature of lightning with floating plates of sigmarite barely holding it together in a coherent human-shaped form is really appealing.
Well, technically space marine Dreadnought are'nt suicide style troops so i'd say it's a different niche.
Still as barely holding themsleves golems could be appealing too.
Or even a shock attack gun style artillery piece that shoots lightning gheists XD.

Could be, though the third Subgroup of Grots in the fluff that where name where Grotbag Scuttlers which are Sky grots.
Granted they did hinted that there where other Subgroups too, one that went deep into the Marsh and other went under the Waves
Yes, that's what i'm thinking, still i did'nt remember they specified a marsh subgroup.
Gloomspite already got two grots subspecies, why this new army can't do a mirror version of them with evil sun worship and other things?
Grotbag are named many times already, and going by the naming style they got, GW is already hinting to have them in the future (Kharadron were at first called Steamheads for example while Slayers were hinted by the name redlayers).
They could even subvert the idea and putting the third subgroup as the marsh ones as a Dank and shadow hating species forced to live in marshes and searching the Evil sun to warm them up (maybe cursed by the bad moon?).
But also the Gnoblars\Boglars idea is tempting, as a full fledged faction they could finally shine.
Still, as some already said,Fimir could be just some units added here and there like other monster sized infantry (as Troggoths and Minotaurs). -

I hope we will be seeing a model for little grom when The Old World comes about.
IIRC TOW should be too early for him (timeline should be set between 1360 IC and Magnus the Pious).
Seeing the trailer though it seems a little bit different this iteration of Kislev, while bear riders and ice witches already existed in the lore the cannon sled seems a bit too much, the same for too much bears in some regards (like the space wolves using a wolf cavalry and so on).
I hope they'll not exaggerate the concepts for TOW, the wilder ideas are for Aos and still the old world had also wilder ideas that could be capitalized without changing too much.-

@VasshpitThey could use the Gorkamorka split state in Gork and Mork to have a civil war between "Gorkers" and "Morkers" XD.
Or Evil sunz worshipper against Bad moon ones, with the two celestial object fighting and colliding.
Still i really want to see the new army that's coming,the ideas that are rumored are great....by Grungni, even the "hypothesised\wishlisted" ones like Boglars and so on.-

I don't like much the return of High vs Dark elves plot though.
While i can see some skirmish i'd prefer that gw won't do that thing again without having a real motive for that.

As for the second faction of AoS 3.0 starter I think GW must go safe. They are taking Stormcasts and Space Marines for every starter for a reason. They need to aim for the most wide tastes. I doubt we will get something other than some kind of Greenskinz.
And in Whfb at least the were 2 starter boxes with orcs and goblin so it will give that classic feel having some greenskins.
About the "think wide" i'd love a not-dreadnought still maybe@Whitefang meant "wide army" so stormcast with Human auxiliaries ? XD

If they are in an AoS story, it's a bit harder, but still, I don't have issues with retconning stuff like this away. They retconned female space marines out of the lore, they can retcon females (of any species) being only breeding machines out of the lore. Rats still had quite a bit of time to evolve, and evolution due to warpstone would be quick if GW spent any modeler time on Skaven.
Considering skaven are a grotesque and evil Parody of modern society,sexism make sense in a sort of way.
Also i think is a joke about lab-rats reprdouction but idk.

They are Fantasy canon. Not AoS canon.
I don't think they'd be losing much by changing End Times canon anyway. I'm not a fan of AoS novels, but that period was absolutely unreadable.
Absolutely agree that we need female dwarves though.
Kharadron (represented in books), Fyreslayers (represented in FIERCE art), Disposessed (though GW has forgotten them) and Chaos Dwarves (even though they only have two models left, I still want that). Plus a Valaya faction.
As far i remember in a story of Fyreslayers Broodmothers were mentioned, giving birth also to some monsters (perhaps Moulder clan?).
Still Skaven society directly poured from old world into the new realms so i'd say they're not changed much. -
@silverstuConsidering that the article mentions also monsters maybe the "gimmick" of this edition will be roaming monsters instead of endless spells (or both).
Still the new gods could just mean Morathi and Kragnos (that's a demigod technically)...hoping for Valaya though, maybe the BR Teclis event could help in the return of the mother of the Dwarves.-

I don't remember how they handled the 2nd edition reveal roadmap but it's possible that they'll show who are the not-stormcast force in the box sooner than expected?
-
What if some warbands hints some narratives advancement that will happen with the new edition though?
Maybe they did'nt show anything cause it could spoiler something? -
If they'll do TOW with the same process of HH modelwise (majority of models in resin) i think it will hurt the game.
FW fantasy part always sold less than 40k\30k, still i'd love the detail of the HH books for Tow ones.

As cool as I think that could be, (I'm thinking the big Zandalari golems from Warcraft), I'd rather save that space entirely for a duardin army. I'd really like Grungni to stop working for Sigmar and forge his own path. While I'd really like a new destruction race, I'll happily settle for a Duardin vs. Greenskins narrative in 3.0.
I agree on that though i'm a bit more optimistic.
We know Grungni was working for the Dwarf people in Chamon as the "stormcast new armor" is a recent development not thought before the Bel'akor thing.
In Soulbound they described him building reclamation engines for the dwarf to reclaim their holds and the Fyreslayer tomes says also that he's working on various possible things.
Still the alliance betwen Grungni and Sigmar is a staple that should'nt be forgotten as Ghal Maraz itself is a symbol to that alliance between dwarves and men (unlike fickle elves).
Still I'd say something for Grungni is definitely coming,with a third faction,hoping they'll be playing the classic point of dwarves: karaks,grudges and tradition.
I'd love some things like Valaya Shieldmaiden\Valkyries, rune weapons and other traditional\spiritual things (contrasting the Atheistic Kharadron and the warrior-brotherhood feeling of the Fyreslayers).
Perhaps they could throw in some Gholemkind auxiliary as they are mentioned in various books as being of Chamon.
The possibilities are endless if GW does apply, and Gromthi attack on Bel'akor renew my hopes.
After all Greenskins can be stopped only by the sons of Grungni.-

I know that for someone may seems obnoxious but as SCE being similar to space marines i'd give them some lighting gheist construct like the dreadnought.
Unable to be reforged anymore they'd get encased in a Sigmarite golem that fulfill some heavy assault role.
Also we need a lord commander miniature.-

The Rumour Thread
in Age of Sigmar Discussions
Posted · Edited by Snorri Nelriksson
White i agree that sort of Basic orc form should return to better unites warclans(but would be better to expand ironjawz)i love the idea of branching greenskins species because was a lore part not expanded much in whfb(they should have had the elvish numbers treatment).
For the same reason i don't like much the ideas of destruction armies not greenskins/ogors/troggoth/giants (unlike some ideas like Human worshipping Gorkamorka,),the GA has some sort of thematic cohesion.
