9th it seems is coming in July. There’s a competition at the moment to win a ‘40k mystery box’ which is most likely the starter box, and it says the prize will be dispatched in July. Where everything else ends up fitting around that, I guess we’ll see over the next few weeks.
Doesn’t look like it. There was no Psychic Awakening branding in the video and there’s rumours of 9th edition this year with Space Marines and Necrons in the box which look more likely now.
I mean sure, but its hard to tell from the rumour engines whether it's something from a new version of a 'classic' unit or something from a new unit.
I just think your list of things coming for Underworlds isn't as definite as you seem to think, as some of it could be for Warcry now we know there's new non-chaos bands coming for that.
You must’ve missed the Daughters of Khaine Warcry warband with new models revealed in the last reveal show then?
And Warhammer Underworlds warbands come out with AoS rules not in Battletomes all the time.
The giants are pretty sweet and I could see myself picking one up at some point.
I really, really like the DoK warband for Warcry. I really wish they’d waited to have unique warbands like this before they added non-chaos stuff to the game.
Yeah, sorry. It's a bit of a peeve of mine that almost every week someone uses the text as evidence of what it must be (not just here, all over the internet), and I hadn't bothered to read the bottom of the article, so I just assumed it was the usual vague references to seeing the future that people read too much into as usual.
The text in the article isn't anything to do with what the model is.
I do agree it seems likely to be Sons of Behemat though.
edit: I didn’t read the text at the bottom, that is more explicit this time.
There are plenty of design cues that overlap between the different units that they all work, in my opinion. Hell, the two that you said work, Eltharion and the cavalry, have as much difference between them as any of the new stuff does. Particularly in silhouettes.
Someone on Facebook pointed out that the veiled Mage or whatever she is looks like she’s holding the goblet of smoke we saw with her veiled face (the goblet has a hand holding it with a robed sleeve that matches her, and the very end of the smoke looks like it matches the group photo of her).
