So I first thought that the animal may be a water buffalo for the LRL because of the horns, but looking at all the old LRL units I realized that every element unit has horns lol. They put horns on a fox lol........... I just finished painting it and somehow did not notice.

My money is still river dragon, but really if the animal does not need horns it could be a lot of creatures lol.

I was also looking for this one that looks like a Kroot leg:

Ya I got nothing yet.

My hope is that it is future Vespids rumored for Kill Team, but I have seen better theories on what it could be.......... I just don't remember what was the common consensus lol.

So here we go with the full RE solving list:

























The almost resolved ones. These two look obviously Kroot related, but these particular ones don't look to be solved to me based on the painting and the runes. @RyantheFett



I have the same issue with this one. Looks Kroot, but looking closely I don't see their swords with those spikes. Maybe it is the pic.



I don't see this one either:



I think that's all.

Found a better pic that shows the spikes I think lol?

Oh ya your right!! After more looking the sword is most likely a different kroot unit? Looks like he top indent for both cav are the same, but bottom is different lol

The tail is most likely for the shadow tease we got a while back. Makes me wonder if we are getting the kroot T-rex back?

[The Rumour Thread]

OK two questions I have about the LRL river unit.

Do you guys think that is the only river unit we will get for the faction or will this break the element rule of only having one unit, one solo mage, and one monster spirt for each  element. Be interesting if this means they go back and give us more earth and wind units.

What will the river monster look like? We got maybe a seahorse head, but will the body be like a traditional seahorse???? My guess it will it be more like a eastern dragon, but i really just want that myself lol.

[The Rumour Thread]

Man it looks like Kroot took a lot of rumor engine. The Kroot ones that were resolved right now:

This sword is most likely Kroot, but based of looking at the new cav pictures way too long lol it's just not one of the ones revealed tonight. Sorry!

These are most likely future kroot:

Well, it means one of the silhouette previews was, it doesn’t necessarily follow that they all are. 
I want to see Kroot as much as the next person but Orks and Custodes are before them and I don’t see three whole codex reveals. 

According to the rumors Kroot/Tau are the next 40k faction being released. So there is a chance we get the whole box reveal today. Or they may just reveal the 3 units they teased already.

I'm sad that in the predictions and wish listing no one seems to be mentioning mixed species Cities warband anymore 😢

Have we given up hope?

Think Old World was a big red flag in the mindset of GW and the future of Cities. Mix races is a big no no since they rather sell each faction as its own thing. Why put normal Dwarfs in Cities when they will just sell a whole faction in Old World. Pretty much the same way they run all the human faction for 40k?

Will love to be wrong in this and I will always run my Cities army full of all the Dwarfs and Elves I already bought. Really we won't know either way until the books comes out (and maybe points if they never touch the nonhuman stuff lol).

A hard reset to what end? They need to add a bit more customization to heroes, make foot heroes worthwile, drop battle tactics and make it worthwhile to kill units (another way to add VP's). If that is what you call a hard reset than yes! do it. 🙂 If a hard reset means more streamlining and removing more options than please no, because than the exodus to TOW will really start 🙂 .

 

I play both 40k and AoS and right now I personally think AoS is the more complex game. While I am ok with this, I don't think that how GW wants the game to be run? Feels like a lot of streamlining and removing a lot of stuff from the game will be coming.

Also would the removal of battle tactics and making it worth fighting the other player!!!

They generally only do the index thing when moving to a ruleset that doesn't support the old unit stats, 40k 7th into 8th where they removed armour values (and universal special rules, maybe?), WHFB 8th into AoS where they changed basically everything, etc.  I can't speak for the 40k 9th into 10th indexing cos I've not played 40k in a long time, but historically it's not something they've done without reasonable cause.

For what it's worth I think the AoS core rules are strong enough that they don't need such a huge change as to invalidate how warscrolls work. (Unless maybe they do something like remove melee weapon ranges, perhaps?)

Seems like with 40k they do a hard reset every other edition. We will soon see if AoS will do the same or not.

The interesting thing is that 40k stole a lot of rules from AoS. Cant wait to see if AoS will steal the stuff right back from 40k or it will be the game where GW test all their crazy ideas before putting the good ones into 40k lol.

My top guess for changes is that the magic phase will be removed, objective control will be different for each unit, and maybe solos will be able to attach to units....................... after that not sure since the core rules are pretty strong.

I do like the idea of 40K leaders, where they can join units. I think you would want more line operatives than in 40K though. I think that would help differentiate between classes of leader as well. I like the idea of weight kings being able to join and buff death rattle units, maybe keeping vampires as lone operatives. 

A big advantage of of heroes joining units is that it allows armies to spread out more. Most AoS armies want you to form bubbles to get the effects off. I play LRL, Stormcast, and Cities and they pretty much all want to form a big ball for those auras.

The only real down side is that you got to often buy two of every hero lol.

Star wars: Legion uses a similar system, and it works very well. You blindly choose tokens representing orders for the types of units you activate, but you also have lots of options for control. Some commanders can activate units, some units generate their own orders and can activate themselves. Some units benefit from being activated sooner or later. Its a fantastically complex and tactical system and once I played it I found I hate going back to the traditional GW style.

Having jumped from all the Star Wars games to GW I would say they both have pros and cons. 

Legion has a better turn system then AoS, but I would say their combat was a step down. The fact that everything was canced out by rolling crits........ugh

I always hear from friends that SW is a great TT game. Haven't tried it yet myself but they prefer it over AoS rule-wise. 

Would of said all the Star Wars games were top tier and worth a try....... then they switched developers and everything went downhill from there lol. They killed armada and spilt the xwing community right down to the bone. The fact that Legion is still good shows how strong the rules were since AMG could not even ****** it up..... yet lol

Also with 4.0 I'm sure they will fix a lot of the issues we all have with the game.

I think eastern dragon is more likely or some other river creature. The animal has to both be a headpiece as well as a unit. 

The only thing that I see is going against the hippo would be pretty close to the bull we already have with the earth temple.

I‘ve just seen the prices of the Bretonnian heroes (resin).

My reactions:

Lady and Paladin - Wth?

Bsbs - Are you out of your minds!?

And they are in resin - moulds and the material are extremely cheap. The quality and durability is bad. 
I am still baffled.

The best part for the duo battle Standard is that is is really just one model. Can only take 1 in every list. Think every game I'll just find the point to upgrade to the pegasu version which is in plastic lol.

The lady I find they have a lot of alternatives to find, but that paladin less so which means I may buy it.......

I'd love to see a couple duardin and aelf figures included in every Cities unit, even if just as body types. But, since that hasnt happed outside of one Aelf headswap, I'm lowering my hopes for Cities staying as a mixed-race model range. I'd anticipate a new steam tank and new helicopters to share in an Ironweld aesthetic, and I would bet that any strategic roles solely occupied by duardin right now (like heavily armored foot troops) are due to be replaced in wave 2

Feel like this is one of the bigger red flags about the future of the faction. They introduce a lot of new units that would be perfect for mixed races like scouts and gunners, but did not include one head swap lol.

Think Cities is closer to Imperial Guard then Empire right now. Tabletop wise it will be all humans, but lore wise they will be full of all the races and other factions.

Counterpoint: why remove Wanderers/remaining High Elves from Cities, but leave Dispossessed and the Steam Tank/Gyros (all of which will be able to be bought and used in TOW) alongside Dark Elves (who will not be available for TOW)?

It'd be easier to just rip the bandaid off and wipe it all out now (or a few months ago 😛) and go with "they are still in the Cities, but the tabletop range mainly focuses on the Crusades, which are mainly human" or something.

I think if we get a second wave for Cities it'll mainly be Ironweld and Devoted focused, as the Battletome still commonly mentions advanced steam vehicles (which would be nice to have AoS specific minis for), and of course we are yet to explore what the other Cults Unberogen on the transfer sheet are. And maybe we would finally get the long yearned for duardin artillery crew member

 

GW most likely needed two waves to fully redo Cities. As you said the magic, gunpowder stuff, and devoted stuff still need to be added. I play Cities and it feels off and half done still. Figure next book they fully remove all the old stuff?

I would say with all the new info we got from TOW that its a good bet that Dispossessed are gone from Cities. With Chaos Dwarfs on their way and Dwarfs being a major faction for TOW that leaves little room. Wood elves and High elves got the exact same treatment.

HAHAHA new species in Tau that is so funny outside of the two. Where would they even find the models for stuff like human Tau? What is next more races in Cities!?!?!??!?!!?

I wish so bad this one would be true, but sadly I have heard nothing. Kroot and Vespids is all I have heard and I have been paying attention.

I 100% belive he has legit sources as he hasnt failed in 9th, but as you guys have pointed out, he really doesnt care about anything that isnt marines. He may be sitting on a huge krieg rumour leak but doesnt give a damn to tell more.

Would not be surprised. Both with Cities and with Tau its pretty clear that he was more info, but he either wants to drip feed it for the clicks or does not care enough to even give names lol.

Its not like he makes some very invested content, its just talking into a camera about rumors, hes just not that invested as a hobbyist, and if people watch and its enoguh for them, is he the one to be questioned about that?

I just find it an interesting since he feels like he is just wants to be a Space Marine hobbyist, but at the same time it feels like he is really trying hard to be more. He post a lot of videos at the right time and the right length to get the clicks, got several tier list where he keeps the good stuff, and mentioned above he does a lot of drip feeding rumors.

I just find it a shame that with just a bit of effort (or just getting a friend who knows anything about other factions lol) he could be the go to figure for all rumors.

New box of nothing but new Kroot, like the Dark Angles box shown off.

• 2 heroes
• 20 new kroot Carnivore
• cavalry (He was not sure if the shadow thing we saw one of the solo heroes or part of the unit)
• a big gun (Last rumor video he also mentioned Krootox rampagers or something like that which may go with the cav. or the big gun rumor)

He thinks they will show Tau next week and that they should come out next, but is not 100% sure.

It has been painful going thought all his stuff, like pulling teeth. If its not Space Marines he truly does not know or care. Will be interesting to see if treats TOW the same way as everything else lol.

Just checked on valrak channel and can't find even a single video where he talks about AoS (safe for the christmas boxes), I don't really know from where come these "valrak confirms skavens vs stormcasts starter box" rumours.

The thing about Valrak is that he does have all the leaks for all the games and often throw out some info for AoS or other game offhandedly. He has said AoS 4.0, but I don't remember if he said Skaven or not.

He just truly does not care about anything outside Space Marines. Like even other 40k factions take second place to the great Space Marines. I been watching a lot of his videos for the new Tau units and it has been painful.

Which is sort of strange since he is clearly deep in the YouTube algorithms and you think he would try and get a few extra clicks lol.

The only issue with the warscrolls is that next week we have LVO. They may not want to change up a lot with such a major tournament next week. The new stuff would not be valid, but they may still want to wait?
