    update, the 40k leaks have reached talking chaos space marines and the next space marines codex

    maybe someone just needs to hop into whatever chatgroup the leaks are coming from to interject some aos questions, it's the only solution

    Do you have a link please ? I checked DakkaDakka but didn't see any thread about 40k Chaos. 

    Also asking because the initial rumor (which was proven true up to now) mentioned new Chaos Daemons, i.e. potential new models for AOS too :D :')

    Who is the artist? That is a truly wonderful piece. I hope that this artist works on the next Duardin book and what is that strange quadruped in the bottom left? Also more emphasis on Ghur!

    I genuinely hope we can get this without the text it would make a great background for the computer. 

    This artwork is a combination.

    It's the End Times artwork for Joseph Bugman (because the pub inside Warhammer World I guess), probably by Kevin Chin, and the beasties are by Nuala Kindrade (the map maker).

    I would also add the bone flute one since it been confirm it is not Nurgle.

    Hello, please report to the nearest Gnarlmaw to receive a ... Christmas Gift :^)

    Joke aside, it has never been confirmed it wasn't Nurgle ? The three fingers still point to Nurgling, the paint strokes apparently imply a smaller size than a Ghoul hand (fitting a Nurgling), and the "bone flute" thingy is already present on another Nurgle miniature, the Plaguebearer musician.

    Also, a new Nurgle Daemon model can either come in a Boxed Set like Wrath and Rapture (Khorne vs Slaanesh first time, so Tzeentch vs Nurgle this time ?) or with the new Daemon Codex for 40k 9th. Epidemius and Herald On Palanquin - which contains lots of Nurgling - being one of the few Nurgle Daemon kit that need a plastic resculpt. (Yes, I may be a little too parochial here).

    Isn’t both Radukar and Belladona base to big to be Cursed City? I though it was just a nod that he not dead and has an upgraded form in SBGL so Cursed City is not dead either

    Well, yeah could be. Or they could occupy more than one space (with some new rules, like the Gargant in WHU ? I don't play that game...). 

    At least the Ambull, Zoat and Guardian drones in BSF had the biggest bases of the BSF range and still fitted in the basic space of the game tiles...

    So with cursed city expansions planned, are these likely to contain new models? Since the models we have are the rumoured original expansions :( tbh I’m just greedy and want more vampires 🤣

    On the Undead side, the Vyrkos dynasty dudes (Kritza, Belladamma and Annika) may very well end up in expansions set. Radukar the Beast sure is, going by the WarCom article.

    I'd like to see more Undead Minions too. 

    For the Adventurers, it's open to speculation.

    With expansions!!!! Best news of the year. 

    Well if THAT isn't a late gift of Grandfather Nurgle !

    So we kind of know at least one of the expansions (the one surely including Radukar the Beast), but I absolutely want to see new Adventurers like those in BSF : Escalation !

  7. @silverstu @KingBrodd thank you for your kind words, it's good to be back to the Mortal plane spreading some new plagues.

    And I have to say, I'm mostly excited about the new Maggotkin book. The updated Sorcerer is very "nice" (even if I still want plastic Nurgle Herald on Palanquin / Epidemius and Pestigors. For the former there are hope for the 40k daemon book I guess).

    And Pierre Mortel's "Neverchosen" is my current favorite in terms of AOS comics. Also, the Warhipster on YouTube posted some new Nurgle Deamons painting tutorials in his Contrast+ method, which gave me strength to get back at it :

    Specialist games exist 

    Yes, and they are getting ALL the Monday reveals - that's ENOUGH :P

    Grungni, Malerion and Hashut factions need some teasing. We should get a teaser article or video around Christmas anyway, after the RE run. Hope to see at least the same as 40k 9th ed. with parts of Heroes for future Battletomes...

    Even I have to admit, that looks like something to do with chaos dwarves. 

    And advent rumour engine confirmed. 

    hmifbQkO94NJoLEu.jpg

    Long time no see, TGA :D 

    I SWEAR I read a rumor* a few days ago (here ?) saying the next dual boxed set for AOS would be Idoneth vs Fyreslayxers (that much we already heard), with one new Hero each side : an Idoneth Lady with the two swords in the back like the recent RE, and a new Fyrelsayers Hero with some kind of magmapike.

    ... That would fit today's RE ...

    P.-S. ; I'm sad we don't have more Chorf rumors, but at least the Warcry Red Harvest set indeed had new Chaos scenery made by those Hashut-worshipping duardin ;)

    *EDIT : yep, a rumor passed on by @Indecisive on page 3113. It indeed seems plausible...

    I get all that but the trailer teased nothing hinting at chaos dwarves. The setting seems to be the capital of the iron golems. 

    No, the Iron Golem capital is in Chamon. The narrator clearly speaks about the Eightpoints and being under the Varanspire. Where we know chaos dwarfs have forges. 

    So forge devices appearing in the trailer + my list of hints =... Well, just that Chaos Dwarfs may be part of the set (the other sides being spider things). But of course it's just interpretation from a meager teaser.

    Not sure why people are mentioning chaos dwarves, unless I missed something they didn't feature in any of the article or teaser. 

    So many exciting things could come from a spiderfang vs chaos box. 

    Plastic spider big boss to replace the finecast one. 

    Goblin hunters 

    Goblin/spider mutants 

    Plastic chosen on foot 

    More iron golems 

    Varaguard on foot

    So looking forward to it!! 

    Well I'd love to see those ! 

    But people (including me) may think of Chaos Dwarfs because : 

    • they exist in Warcry already.
    • they are mentioned in the existing lore ; notably they have bases and forges around the Varanspire - attacked by Katakros during Wrath of the Everchosen -  and under the crust of the Eightpoints. 
    • the lava pumping machines from the trailer looks very Chaos-dwary (to me at least).
    • (Spider) Grots (if any) and (Chaos) Dwarfs / Duardin are traditional ennemies.
    • they get increasingly mentioned in the new lore too (Warclans tome).

    This was the announcement I was most looking forward to and it’s f******* spiders. Why did it have to be spiders?

    Well well disappointing BUT at least there are apparently new scenery coming with that Red Harvest thing ; those kind of lava pumping devices that are apparently modular...

    for the factions I can't see Varanguard on foot and Spiderfangs grots, but maybe. 

    I'm leaning for chaos mutants worshipping spiders vs furnace kings Chaos Dwarfs

    Don't think any of the other boxes have had any personnel on the front that wernt in the box?

    It's just an artwork from the new article, it is not on the boxe itself as far as I can see. 

    Maybe it's from a wider picture inside the new rulebook ? In the same artwork (in the right corner) a kind of Zombie arm sprouting from the ground... So a new SBGL warband with Necromancer and Zombies ?

    Makes me wonder if there's some teeth to the rumor of beasts getting souped into S2D.

    We'll know quite soon I guess, as there is an S2D update in the next White Dwarf, and Bob from War Of Sigmar implied that the October Chaos Battletome would be Beast Of Chaos. And yet I still hope it's Nurgle....

    (Either that or it will get FAQed when the SCE tome is released OR the Beasts of Chaos faction becomes - against all lore and logic - Destruction :P).

    It also makes sense to give something called a Warpsmith an actual hammer, hm. If the rumors are true, Chaos Space Marines are going to have one of the best model ranges out there...!

     

    1 hour ago, SunStorm said:

    The recent rumours that detailed the Black Templars did mention a plastic Warpsmith as part of of a wave of new CSM kits with the date of after Jan 2022. That would be the closest fit I would guess. 

    I'm sure that's the new Warpsmith. Exciting times ahead anyway :D

    Speaking of the Beard Jaws, I really hope Fyreslayers get a Warband this Season. 

    Another one ?

    Well, maybe as in intro to a new unit then, that could be interesting !

    19 minutes ago, Clan's Cynic said:

    I hope it's for Underworlds. As a Fyreslayers player who's been eyeing up getting into Kruelboyz, having a billion Heroes compared to few units is very boring. 

    I's hard to see but the rim of the base doesn't appears to be black like the recent underworld warbands, so...

    Maybe a White Dwarf or event exclusive Hero for KruleboyZ ?

    So, someone on a ToW FB group posted the following, claiming it was also covered by a French youtuber. The source was allegedly a store owner in Switzerland who's good friends with some of the ToW designing team members. Looks promising, perhaps bordering on the "too good to be true" territory, but I choose to believe 😁

    Screenshot_20210805_133750_com.facebook.katana.jpg

    Everything here looks very plausible...

    Except the date (as early as 2022 ?) and the "core game" nature.

    But if by core game they mean things like LOTR or HH (i.e. huge battle systems handled by FW/GW, but aren't Specialist Games per se like BB or Necromunda), then okay.

    20 minutes ago, Noserenda said:

    I cant imagine they are mad enough to push another core game in their less popular genre with a huge buy in and no crossover potential, though the way they treat HH does foreshadow that i guess.

     

    But as you say, a concurrent in terms of "flagshipness" and ressources, like AOS and 40k ? nah. 

    EDIT : 

    If the box is Kislev vs DAEMONS OF CHAOS ....

    .... I will be the happiest man on earth. Really.

    They aren't small. In fact I'd say they're pretty enormous. Screenshot_20210727-001839.png.9acd173ab1f1b31a8cb670ffe7df671b.png

    They are clearly smaller and leaner than the current Star drakes, so no they aren't enormous. 

    For the big boss of their races (Star drakes are only cousin I know), that's ridiculously small...

    • Confused 3
  17. Well... Aren't they a bit small ? And no riders ? I guess that's a bit sad, or strange ?

    Also, the Hexfire box confirms most of those 4chan rumors were - again - false... But then Grimdark live tends to back some of it (the BOC range update) ?? 

    I'm really confused by those two news I confess :P

    I certainly hope it's not a giant, wierd Sigmar face. I'm already carving all of them off my dominion units as it is.

    You're carving off WHAT ? ...

    Please remain at your current location, the Order of Azyr is on its way for a few.... hobby questions...
