The Lost Sigmarite

Random doddles on the Adepticon reveals : 1/ I thought Abraxia would be smaller… I did expect a standard Varanguard mount, not a full blown half dragon ! 2/ That OBR warband must be a nightmare to balance with all the wildly different minis, I do hope it’s split into different warscrolls. 3/ Hallowed Knights are now the posterboys ! Yeah ! Their lore is so much more interesting than the Hammers of Sigmar and their colour scheme is better too. Less over the top than the full gold armour we had. Only the faithful ! 4/ They’re bringing back the brood horror !

Good night TGA, it's late in the evening for me and I'm tired. I'll wake up tomorrow to lots of sick AoS reveals ! (And 500+ unread messages on this thread lol). I just hope the Eshin rats won't visit me when I sleep.

13 hours till Adepticon… 13 = number of the Horned Rat = Skaven confirmed yes-yes !

Too bad I ran out of reactions because I would’ve put a 🏆 on this one.

Beastmen have fallen. Billions must sacrifice to the herdstone. (Tbh I could see Beasts in S2D just like they did Kroot recently but that’s another debate entirely).

I think that before this rumour came that another rumour said (was it from Whitefang ? I don’t remember) the focus of the Skaven range refresh was on basic Skaven and their mad science - so both the crazy mechanical contraptions and the Frankenstein monsters. I think this is the warlock in a mechsuit that was mentioned in one of the Friday short stories on Warcom.

Good luck because they’re intensifying. It’s been a real rapid fire of them today.

New rat ogre to me.

I was gonna ask where the Skaven potato cam pics were. Turns out we just needed to wait.

The head crest reminds me of the TWW thane.

By the Ancestors ! I do think it’s one ! Could also be for TOW though.

Posting an image of literally me to start a leak, good. Also btw is that 1/ black armour for Ruination and 2/ the studio changed their way to paint SCE lightning ?

Guys you should be careful of what you post on TGA. Some people online might steal it and pass it as a “real” rumour on other platforms to get some clout. I think it’s literally copy pasted from here lmao

I just want this but AOSified. It’s already different from a cogfort or the steam tank, it looks more like a D-Day landing craft to me. But with runes and wheels.

What about a subterranean transport ? It could transport Dispossessed warriors underground. I’d be unique enough from a cogfort and KO blimp.

What about a troop transport ? The unreleased WFB dwarf tank was intended as one and said to be able to carry 20 miniatures in game.

Yeah I think it’s not gonna happen. Abraxia it is, with maybe a Skaven thrown in to tease 4th. A bit like how they released Illuminor Szeras just before the Necron refresh in 9th.

Everyone is doing their predictions for AoS4, so it's my turn now. I think the key here is to reign in the excitement. Not everyone will be getting a morbillion new kits, in fact most factions will only get a hero. Here's my predictions : Order : SCE obviously CoS with a big wave 2. New flagellants, bombardier major, sub-marshal, steam tank replacement, more human stuff. Maybe marshall Thorian is she survives the current campaign. LRL : small wave. They'll need the river mage and spirit to complete the river temple. Since they're likely keeping Tyrion and the heaven temple for something bigger. FS : small wave. They've had some kits recently, but they need something that isn't a generic foot hero. Few units and a named character would do great. Sylvaneth : small wave. Will GW expand Kurnothi ? Probably but it's left to see if this goes beyond a single foot hero. Chaos : Skaven obviously Chorfs obviously Nurgle : small wave. I do think the harbringer of decay is teasing something. BoC : either they go out without a replacement, or they go out with a replacement wave of "new AoS beastmen™". Death : NH : they always get a little something (beyond the generic hero) each edition. SBGL : small wave. Get rid of some WFB sculpts (grave guards) OBR : small wave. They're the only big Death faction that hasn't had a release in a while. Destruction : GSG : they always get a little something (beyond the generic hero) each edition and rumours of Gitmob/armoured trolls are floating around. Mawtribes : big wave. They're the only big Destruction faction that hasn't had a proper update. I think the new gorgers hint at it happening. Everyone else, you either get a hero, a Warcry band or both. I think it's best to keep our expectations not absurdly high, like not all factions will be getting lost of new stuff. Also btw I didn't include Malerion because I think he's kept for AoS5.

Can't believe the plot of AoS4 will be literally this meme :

They're coming.

Sad that good things (for us and our love of leaks) must come to an end, but if you can’t continue to leak stuff because it threatens your job in the wargaming industry where it’s obvious you work, then it’s ok. We’ll remember you.

Thinking it'll be the same situation as with Marines last year - lots of kits will be replaced (like jump pack Intercessors replacing assault marines) or just gone forever (RIP Land Speeder, you will forever live in our hearts). If GW can trim the fat of Marines aka their cash cow, they can do it for SCE. Anfd if the rumours are true and they are merging/pruning Skaven warscrolls (RIP censer bearers), it can happen for SCE too (ffs GW just do a single "Dracothian Guard" warscroll, no one uses the 3 that aren't Fulminators anyway).

This new rumourmonger really be cooking, we’re lucky to have him in TGA. He complements Whitefang well. I like these new SCE wings.

Let's be crazy, get 2 war machines : one for humans, one for dwarfs.

Talking about cogforts and all the potential future CoS war machines made me think : what if GW uses CoS to do a war machine that's an hommage to the unreleased dawrf tank from WFB8 ? After all, Disposessed are still in CoS and since they appeared in Dawnbringers, I think they're gonna stay !
