The Lost Sigmarite

That's great ! One more tool into deciphering your rumours !

Idk. To me, I feel like he's laughing at me and my opinions (that's because that's what I do with laugh reacts on comments on social media). How are my comments funny @Whitefang ? Funny like I'm a clown ? Funny like I amuse you ?

Holy smokes ! The prophet has blessed me with a reacc ! Let's see what it is ! Anf of course. Why does it have to be this way... Also, what did he mean by this ?

All the humans kits GW will release for TOW will also be CoS kits by the way of proxies or conversions. A bit like how every 40k kit is an Ork kit if you want it to. Until next time for more interesting hobby facts !

We're definitely out of the dark ages for sure. GW knows as well as we do that some ranges are really old. Imo, they just took their sweet time on Ogres because out of all the older ranges they're the ones that have aged the best. If you want some hopium about outdated minis being upgraded, remember we saw an Eldar update last year. Anything is now possible.

Even a small trickle would do wonders. Like, a 3 kits release for some Destruction factions, like what the NH and Sylvaneth got, would be very welcome I think. Everyone likes new minis. What do you think Destruction players ?

Reminder that today GW dropped a potential tease for Cities and Ogres less than one hour apart. In what timeline are we living in ?

Not gonna tell you anything new since you already play Ogres, but the Bulls/Gluttons are one of the older "battleline" kits still available on the AoS webstore. If I remember correctly they're from the early 2000s, so soon to be 20 y/o. Same for the Ironguts, Leadbelchers, Yetis etc. (All the BCR and stuff like the Ironblaster are more recent, AFAIK they're like mid 2010s). And from the new Zombies, Skeletons, Saurus, Chaos Warriors... GW likes to update your basic faction troops in modern plastic. Add that and the RE to the Whitefang rumour that some Destru factions are going to get some loving before the end of this edition... I'm not jumping to any conclusions, buuuut...

If you want old school Dawi, Disposessed still exist. I'd like for GW to do a 3rd Order Dwarf faction that's more like an evolution of the classic Dawi we know, with Grungni, Valaya, Grombrindal, heavy armor, guns, beards, grudges and Bugman XXXXXX... Maybe to replace Dispos, maybe to complement them while they stay in CoS, maybe to be compatible with TOW... Ideally, (this is the dream in my head), this 3rd Dwarf factions comes out and is compatible with TOW, while Disposessed get replaced by proper Sigmarite Dwarfs. Will it happen ? Probably not, but a man can dream. I would like GW to do something cool with AoS Dwarfs again. They've been teasing the return of Grombrindal for so long...

What the hell is THWG ?

Rootking would be more in place with Sylvaneth imo. They use the plants of Ghyran instead of metal and have a long relationship with Alarielle.

6 BTs for dwarfs only ? I mean, I love the stunty little grudge gnomes, but that looks like a lot... that would be a nightmare to navigate and balance. I would prefer if Morghur stayed with Beastmen. He's their more iconic character... With him gone, BoC players would really feel let down. I say, keep Morghur in Beatsmen, make him a cool "faction leader" centerpiece mini for BoC players to play with, and profit by upgrading the BM wih a more "feral, mutated" aesthetic.

Dwarfs have been getting the short ("short ?") end of the stick since 1st Ed ended. Elves have had a lot of love in AoS, with the Khainites, Idoneths, Lumineths, possible Kurnothi and Umbraneths... meanwhile the Dawi have KO, FS and Disposessed in CoS. I say it's time for GW to give them some loving once again, or else... they're going in the book

Sigmar be like : "I need manpower for my dawnbringer crusades ! You know what ? ****** you Belakor !" proceeds to unchaos your chaos legionnaire And as a result, the CoS line aesthetic was born...

Problem is Valrak has absolutely no clue about the meaning of the AoS rumours he gets since he ignores the game entirely. He just repeats what his "sources" say to him (contrary to 40k where he says if he thinks it's true or not, brings along tinfoil Valrak, etc.). Tbf it's logical that CoS will not be at Adepticon since we need to finish Seraphon & see what OBR/SBGL look like in 3rd. No offense to Valrak, he's a fun Warhammer youtuber and I like his videos, but for AoS rumours Whitefang will always be the gold standard. At least him knows what he's talking about when he drops intel here.

See that's the sort of things I would like to see ! Imagine them in super dynamic poses, next to the satyrs and centaurs and the wider Sylvaneth range. It would complement the army well.

Those antlers look heavy... think some puny elgi could support them ?

*Wishlist mode activated* : if (or more likely when) Kurnothi get released, I hope we get the satyrs and centaurs like the WHU warband, but also some miniatures closer to Kulathis the Exile (the Cursed City hero). They would complement each other well and bring in some of that old "Wood Elves" aesthetic back with either a bit or a lot of AoS weirdness. Like, imagine some elves like Kulathis, aka "classic WE with updated sculpts and little mutations (Kulathis has little antlers, so things like that) and others like the WHU warbands who are already half animals. *Wishlist mode deactivated*

I don't think Whitefang would've dropped that big a rumour about them if they were coming back only as a Warcry warband... To me, they're in the pipeline for a "main" AoS release later down the line. Maybe to close off the Era of the Beast against all the new Destruction stuff he hinted at. Maybe later. Who knows. As cold blooded creatures, it'll do them wonders I'm sure !

I've been thinking about it. What BoC unit would do the best to be redone as a Warcry band ? To me, it's the Bestigors. They're special enough to warrant a Warcry box, instead of Gors and Ungors who you need to keep (~) cheap (money wise) because they're your battleline. Whereas Bestigors ? They're elite, they're independant, could use diversity in their minis, they would fit right in Warcry.

You're quite brave to do that... I wouldn't buy myself a BoC army in this day and age. The mainline kits are too dated to me. If I were to play BoC, I would only have the Beastlord, Bray Shaman, Dragon Ogors, Cygor/Ghorghon, Slaangors and the Tzaangors kits. The rest of the line imo don't old up in 2023.

Problem is, about rumours, and potential new releases we have rumour fuel for : GW has teased so many different things it's going to be impossible to release all of them in an edition. In fact, even in multiple editions. So far, we have got teased : - Cities of Sigmar - Malerion and Umbraneth elves - Kurnothi - Return of Morghur - Dawi Zharr - Frazzleface Snazzlegit and the grots that worship him (Gitmob/Grotbag) - Return of Grungni w/ Grombrindal, Gholemkind and new Dwarfs - New Lumineth temples - Silent People ? Deep Ones ? Wraithfleet ? That's way too big. It's impossible to drop all of that in even 2 editions. That's why AoS rumours are so difficult to nail down... and why Whitefang is a godsend from Sigmar.

Skaven : am I a joke-joke to you ?

Don't do that. Don't give me hope (I don't play BoC, I just want cool new minis for fellow BoC players, who have suffered many years with old miniatures).

And it's a Haha react. I guess this means this is back to the natural state of things for Beastmen enjoyers : being ignored by GW for another edition. Apparently no Morghur for you mates, sorry ! Hope you like the new Beastlord !
