  1. Well there is dead dead and mostly dead.., I thought Grimnir was shattered not destroyed. I'm not well read on AoS lore, mostly focused on KO,i have to say the world building improved a lot in their book between 1st and 2nd, there was a greater sense of the society generally and I have enjoyed some of the BL short Stories around them too. My sense of of things is that AoS is beginning to mature into a deeper setting. I was a WFB player from 1st ed and that world was so deep and rich but it built up over years. AoS definitely suffered from an awkward initial release and has changed direction since. I hope it will continue to mature but I can see were the problems are, the setting being so big and full of possibilities you need both the overarching story and the smaller, personal tales, WFB was a smaller setting as well so that made it easier as well as being a very settled one.
  2. Yes there was one with two arms holding similar tools/hoses from a few weeks ago..https://warbosskurgan.blogspot.com/p/rumour-engines.html#2022-05-17 I think this one might be the Kin engineer that they accompany ..https://warbosskurgan.blogspot.com/p/rumour-engines.html#2021-06-29 I think he looks very cool and ripe for conversion .. clockwork automata serving with the fleets..
  3. I'm not into that particular box - not a fan of marines, but if you offered me a similar sized box for, say the new Leagues of Votann or a new Dwarf force for AoS I would snap it up in a heartbeat. I usually try and buy in bundles these days to get discount -usually through Darksphere. I rarely buy just a single box/model so its the sort of deal I'd go for anyway. Giving you a sizeable army to begin with isn't a deal breaker, an HH box looks to be very good value for money which I'd love to see for factions I love. I'm really hoping for a LoV army box for example and if they raised the price but added more models I wouldn't be put off.
  4. Yep Cthonian Beserks, Einhyr seem to be the elites/exo armour, Grimnyr are the Psykers and Kälhs are the warlords? I think there will be so much fun kit bashing across the ranges, the Exo suits could work very well as a Kharadon heavy melee unit. But loving the sound of the faction !
  5. Theres been a leak of some of the stratagems and Psyker abilities - all sounding very dwarfen! There are Judgement tokens which sound a lot like grudges!! Plus mention of a Hekaton Land Fortress.... Check out Valraks Youtube ..
  6. Yeah I agree- KO are an excellent faction- the 2nd Ed book gave them a really good feel and there are some cracking stories with them- Code of the skies is a really good short story for example. Plus there are some really good character models like Bugmansson and Dagnai . I think they could do with a wee wave of more models [and female Kharadron!]. The Old World benefited from years and years of development and some really good writers. AoS might be a bit patchy but I think its improving.
  7. Yep! Hoping that's being used by a warlord or his guard in exo armour! And that could definitely be a weapon swap for KO admirals..
  8. Yep- its a timeline I'd guessed at as well so thats why I'm going for it! They are fairly packing out the release weeks these days so nothing would surprise me popping up in the schedule.
  9. I think as others have said- an underworlds set, great little painting projects, a character model as a painting/conversion project or new paints/paint brushes/basing materials are all handy.
  10. Theres a rumour I read on Reddit from a GW store manager that there will be an Army Box of Kin end of July with the rest of the range in September/October which I am choosing to believe.. 😇. Necro squats I guess might be out before that, they can squeeze those in easily enough. The release schedule looks packed though!
  11. There was definitely an old rumour from Reddit around January that talked about Sylvaneth - mentioned Lady of Vines coming with a couple of kits but no Kurnothi, can't remember what else was said or who reposted it here. Not sure what else it mentioned .. think it was a little swear-y/ grumpy. [sounds like a dwarf! 😄]
  12. Yeah but this looks to use the exact design language of dwarf war machines with the teeth and catch mechanism. To me it looks more fantasy -maybe off a Kharadron/dwarf backpack but yes 40k is certainly weird enough for it be for the Imperium!
  13. Its more the trigger and mechanism they are sitting in that looks more fantasy to me than 40/30k.
  14. Its books - on twitter they said "anyone feeling bookish?" I'm thinking Books of Grudges or lore ..
  15. New rumour engine https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/05/24/the-rumour-engine-24th-may-2022/ I'm thinking dwarf/kharadron because of the trigger?? Trying to work out if those are bellows or books? Could be Cities/Dawnbringers. And great to have TGA back!
  16. echoes of doom is £115 apparently from Dakka [dollars and Euro prices are guesses] Echoes of Doom £115 €150 $190 Warcry Darkoath Savagers £35 €45 $60 Warcry Tarantulos Brood £35 €45 $60 Ravaged Lands Pit Dredgers Camp £67.50 €87.50 $112 Ravaged Lands Varanite Syphon Camp £67.50 €87.50 $112
  17. Yeah I would occasionally frequent Bugmans Brewery ! My fantasy dwarf army still has 2nd ed elements! I definitely think we have reason to be optimistic - especially for KO - Dagnai, Bugmanson, Gotrek and Drekki all show they are still designing dwarfs. The sylvaneth release looks to show they are coming back to the 1st edition releases and I remember when KO were released they stated "thats all for now" so I'd be very confident new dwarf stuff [and Skaven] is coming -they are just getting it right.
  18. I think both Fyreslayers and KO haven't had big updates as others have said at the time they weren't designed to be multiple wave releases, although KO benefited from larger initial releases. AoS was originally designed to offer small forces which would be phased out over time and replaced with something new, but obviously hey have changed tack as we all love our factions. It can take 3-4 years for new design work to result in new releases I think and it looks like Sylvaneth are the first to benefit which is great to see- they were the first faction I saw that made me see the potential of AoS. I think another reason why Fyreslayers and KO might not have seen much of an update is the dwarf design team might have been seconded to 40k to make sure they got the return of the squats done right. There definitely looks like some similar feels with he new LoV models. When they do get back to dwarfs in AoS I reckon they will be amazing. A thought did occur to me on Skaven- its strange they haven't gotten much-i'm wondering of they will be the next big bad for 4th edition.. way off but it would be Order vs Chaos and would be just like the Skaven to be lurking and then launch a massive offensive on the unsuspecting realms..
  19. I love the art! Especially the character profiles - looks like the same artist that did the KO ones. Hope we get models like both in the future [for KO and LoV]. All sounds very cool and intriguing. I like how the clone/genetic manipulation echoes the idea that dwarfs are made by their ancestor [gods].
  20. He was but he fell out with GW over the end of fantasy and the whole fine cast debacle. he may have reconnected with his sources but I’m not sure he is as connected as he was before. He’s not salty over everything btw- he loves the blood bowl teams . But he doesn’t know as much as he did and he used to know a lot!
  21. I don't think it will be full of resin kits and I've known Hastings a long time. If Titanicus can have plastic TOW will have as well. Plastic is GW future and I think TOW is designed to take the same space as Heresy. I think he's being overly pessimistic . Plus there's so much crossover between TOW and AOS.
  22. It very much reminds me of the Kharadron with the curved shapes. Like the female squat as well- I'm hoping for some with braids too [apparently all in the leagues fight so we should have mixed squads]. Think it bodes well for when they return to the kharadron.
  23. Just got some dwarf stuff -mostly little scenery pieces and one dwarf, from Durgin Forge. Beautiful models with alt sculpts that would work in KO, Fyreslayers and dispossessed. The great master looks to be a great admiral type and the brewmaster seems excellent.There are some steampunk elements including a dwarf mecha. I love the dwarf bases and terrain bits I got and he thrown some crow models as a gift. Defintely recommend!
  24. I think its great to get bits and the odd pics and its fantastic that we have a roadmap for the rest of the year. I just wish the leakers wouldn't do full book reveals. But its great ti have so much to look forward to and I'm glad it hasn't spoiled next weeks reveals. Theres something very exciting about seeing the official videos and then finally getting your paws on the books and models! I'm fine with folks being excited and sharing leaks- that's totally understandable. I just wish the original leakers would hold more stuff back. Bits and hints and descriptions are a lot of fun to talk about - when they leak entire books it takes away form the actual release experience. Great to get tasters though and a sense of what's coming! {honestly I was hoping at one stage for some squat leaks but now I'm happy enough to see the official stuff!]. Again - not criticising anyone for enjoying and sharing the leaks, or the fact we get leaks, just the extent of the leaks is a little much.
