I don’t think Alarielle in an army box was ever gonna happen tbh. She’s too big, too expensive. Honestly the best thing Gw could do would be to release a version of Drycha that’s not unique with an upgrade sprue to make a generic outcast hero. it would do wonders for the rebuy value of their stuff.

Lmao 16 dryads gdi Gw add the extra sprue you cheapskates

And that’s fine too! I think s2d is great for that! Ogors is about breaking open a cold one with the lads and having a simple good time. (a cold one, of course, being a half frozen Stormcast Eternal)

Exactly. The two aren’t really comparable. Ogors got a facelift, S2D got, in a lot of ways, an overhaul. Both got what they needed.

https://www.goonhammer.com/battletome-ogor-mawtribes-2022-the-goonhammer-review/ im going to dissent, as an Ogor player, to the disappointment posted before this. I read this review and I kept wait for the big change, the thing that would make or break the book, and it never came. At the end of the day, this is not a massive overhaul of the army. Which is exactly what was best for them. i would have liked more potent buffs, sure, what player wouldn’t for their favorite army? we got a TON of quality of life improvements, though. We got rid of the faction abilities locked behind subpar command traits and artefacts. almost everything got some sort of flat buff, some even with points reductions. no, we don’t have the same point for point customizability of s2d, but that was never the goal, imo. Every Ogor player I’ve talked to has felt the same: the core concept is what we want, we just need to be able to do it better. i think this book does that. Not in every way I expected, not in every way I wanted, but it’s there, and I’m excited to try out some new builds. This is exactly what we needed, barring a range refresh on finecast models, and an expansion of units which I’ll hold out hope for with end of edition expansion releases.

We’ve only got the one picture of him that I’ve seen. Multi party would be news to me but since we’ve had zero reveals on what they can do, who knows? Im legit refreshing my pages for book reviews to go live.

/can’t tell if lack of adjective was typo or joke /laughs anyways

Well, we’ve hit the time I never see warcom articles update, so I guess it’s official that the next Ogor update we’ll get is the preorder and the review videos tomorrow. May the Maw be bountiful to us.

If we don’t get an article today then the whole prerelease week will go with no hype for them and that makes me sad

The more I look at this the more convinced I become this actually was originally a Bullgor model refresh they shifted to chaos at the last minute of the model design process before it got sent to manufacturing design.

This is probably going to test the limits of “rumor thread topic” but I was talking to my friend the other day (the person who got me into AoS and is my LGS contact too) about how the game feels like it’s really healthy, it seems relatively well balanced, and the battletomes are all pretty great, but I’ve had almost no desire to play for weeks now, and participation in our local group which was great for such a small community had also dropped off. Everyone has moved on to other games. I picked up 30k this month. We think it really all stems down to the lack of communication/rumors from GW to hype things up, the lack of minis and line expansion/updates, and magnified by a, frankly, bad GHB. Maybe people liked it, but it’s been really unpopular in our local meta. The game just needs more support and with all signs pointing to a big 40k year in 2023, they don’t think it’s going to happen anytime soon, which makes me really sad. I mean, it feels like I started playing just in time to be backburnered. at least the new Ogors tome really hyped me up.

The WH email from yesterday, pushing the death factions, mentioned tomes in everyone one. Knowing they pull tomes a few weeks before pulling them, would this be the opposite? They wouldn’t be so cruddy to encourage people to buy books they plan on discontinuing/updating in just a few months, after the new year, right? Right?

Ohhh, the way you worded it before I thought it was like the blood knight’s fly over ability, ending 3” away and OOC.

… huh. That’s… Yknow that’s not what I was expecting but do that on enemy player’s turn and get it out of combat to set up a charge on yours… that’s potent. Sort of a mini Manfred game of catch me if you can, with impact hits.

Giving them a mottled white-yellow bone look would have been great imo

Oh also I know someone was excited Maneaters don’t need to tag them 😛

Ahh, Ogors preview with a super solid vanguard, I pulled some good cards from a double masters booster, AND the rumor thread is back?! This is a great day. i missed y’all

/stares into sun /eat sun?

My lgs friend confirmed it wasn’t in their preorder list for today but I was hoping GW might pull a fast one on us. Sadly no. Fingers crossed for a preview tomorrow.

/metal-soled boots stomp for book

Honestly I thought the same thing, and the fact there hasn’t been a sylvaneth tie in to the gnarlwood is criminal, but I also have a hard time believing they’ll get something after the update wave they fit thisnsummer

Alternatively: “We are really excited to reveal, and we think all our Sigmarites and Chaos Cultists will be too, coming next month… Age of Sigmar 4th Edition! We’ll be rolling out updated tomes for Lumineth Realm Lords and Disciples of Tzeentch first, along with a much needed new wave of expanded Stormcast models! Be on the look out for a roadmap being released soon! For all the Tomes still waiting on a 3rd edition tome, don’t worry! We’re releasing a battlescroll next week with great news for all of you!” /the battlescroll is an official announcement about non-updates factions being retired

The new HH tank looks neat at least

This has actually been my project while waiting on Ogor updates. Are you proud @KingBrodd

Ugh. Underworlds article. I’m getting annoyed. Just post an Ogors update and the battlescroll already. What the heck
