Oh I really hope the warbands will be in the booklet. The wait for that information is killing me.

I think the Bull is for Darkoath/ Slaves to Darkness. Fits the muscle/anger/darkness barbarian aesthetic.

hey can Ful-Grimnir be used as a Runefather in the LOTL battalion? (sorry I don't know where else to ask)

yep.

2 "destruction" player armies showcased in 2 days when usually they showcase one every few weeks. Ironjawz discussion on WHTV

Am I the only one who thinks all this Waagh activity at the community site and on Warhammer TV is a definite hint that something big and green is coming to Warhammer Fest next week?

Yeah chariots would be amazing - and would fit the slightly Ancient Mesopotamia-inspired aesthetic of the Fyreslayers.

Wow the horse skull ghost with the drum is amazing!

I just realised the UK Games Expo is this weekend. Don't we all think that's when the release date for AOS 2 will be announced? Would make sense, and they've already announced that they will be previewing a lot of new stuff.

sounds like a good idea! Link to source?

Ok, can we try to guess the Inspire conditions for these warbands? My cautious bet is: Chosen Axes: Inspire when your team captures 2 objectives (Treasure hunters) Spiteclaw's Swarm: Inspire when all alive fighters are within 2 hexes of the leader

I really hope GW reacts to this leak and sends out a teaser video for the Chosen Axes. I'm straining my eyes trying to make out the details of that Runefather in such a low resolution!

Not entirely sold on the Warqueen model - I love the lore about her and what's in the videos but the sculpt doesn't really click for me. Apart from the axe, that is. That axe is amazing.

aaaaaaaaaaawww that little hanging tool in his belt!!! That's it, I'm preordering.

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/11/03/news-codexes-heroes-blood-glorygw-homepage-post-3/ That stupid logo change is just too much of a tease!

omg I'm (figuratively) peeing my pants! I hadn't seen this and now it's tonight!

Which community post is this?

this is so true. Everything is clearly going to be nuts from here on out. What a time to be alive!

I agree. Especially also the fact that they make up these smaller factions by cranking a few aesthetic and mechanic aspects of an older faction up to 11. As in Fyreslayers: Troll Slayers and runecraft cranked up. Kharadron Overlords: Gyros, Irondrakes, Cogsmiths cranked up Ironjawz: Black Orcs -"- Sylvaneth: Dryads/Treemen -"- I also gives us plenty of inspiration for further speculation! Is any aspect of duardin culture still missing for a possible third faction?

I hope they only bring back miners if they do a new model for them. Battletome:Duardin would be amazing!

I think Black Orcs were a compendium unit before ironjawz (cmiiw) Bonesplitters were bonesplitters even before the relaunch I think you are right about Beastclaw (but weren't they compendium before? Dispossessed aren't compendium, that's what I'm getting at)

Yeah, if they did fold the Dispossessed into the new faction (however unlikely) in a way that would let me keep everything I have in my current army except for the cannons, that would be okay with me. I would miss the synergies of playing with a Runelord and a Warden King, but I never bought the Warriors or the other older models anyway because of their quality. When it all comes down to it, I guess I'll be happy as long as I can have new models and still somehow play with Irondrakes and Longbeards in some sort of army.

The reason I hope this is not true (and the reason I find it unlikely), is that that would spell the end of Dispossessed as a faction. Why would they do that? And they haven't done that before, either, have they? Killed off one faction to make a new one? If Irondrakes and Gyrobombercopters switched sides, that would sorta make sense, but hammerers/longbeards? (full disclosure: I am a passionate Dispossessed player). The part about the warmachines being phased out sounds sad but probable - they're not the most high quality plastic kits in the range (just like quarrellers/thunderers/warriors. They need to go as well) I also find the number of people who *suddenly* have sources on this new faction really suspicious. No one really knew anything 6 days ago and everyone was asking for the new duardin back then as well.

I CAN'T HANDLE THIS!!!

I hope the new White Dwarf will hold some sort of hint.
