  1. REACT :

    - 40k & HH : lovely kits (cool Kroots and human infantry), interesting variations. Next.

    - KT : 😡 Not only is the Mandrakes an uninventive plastic copy-paste, but they even stole Khainite Shadow Stalker assets AND TZEENTCH DAEMON HAND FIRE RUMOR ENGINE 😡 

    - WHU : After the Electric Zombie, the Beast Bones Zombie ! Lovely team.

    - Warcry : FANTASTIC, the River Harlequins are cool, not too over the top yet distinctive, great helmets. And old bit of lore from AOS 1 made into plastic with the Fire Ghosts, nice. The Slaan Statue will be a fine addition to my collection *cough*

    - AOS : unexpected but very nice. The Crow Lady, cool, but the Cinderfalls Saviors, REALLY cool : mostly the Stormcast Key Guy and the Cat Spy Lady : she is the winner of the show for me.

    Only disappointment : no Chaos, no Darkoath...

    I would imagine that they’re comfortable using this older wyvern for promo shots one way or another.

    Yeah and GW in their Ruelbooks do not tease all the upcoming reveals, only the new models of the two "launch" armies...

    New 4th edition rumours

    Spoiler


    DANGER:

    Plague Censer

    Rat Swarms

    Giant Rats

    Gutter Runners

     

    Refresh:

    seerwarlockmoulder

    clanratsstormvermin

    ALL WEAPONTEAMS

    JezzailsGlobadiers

    Rat Ogors

     

    NEW:

    new warlock

    new warlord

    new verminlord

    new artillery

    new behemoth

    new wolfrats

     

    +++ MOD EDIT +++ Removed inappropriate language from post

     

    So this rumor is credible, going by who did like it.

    I'm fine with canned Plague Censer and Gutter Runners (as in the current Metal models) but ... No updated kits seems very weird for the two oldest plastic kit of the faction. 

    They need, like the Underworld Warband, a NEW plastic kit that makes both Plague Monks and Plague Censers Bearers, and a NEW plastic kit that makes both Gutter / Shadow Runners (this one maybe for Warcry) ASAP.

    "We'll be shining the lights of Las Vegas into the darkest of shadows! What do you think we'll be revealing at our next online preview?"

    Seems to refer to both the Warcry Lumineth and the Kill Team Mandrakes with this one. 

    For the picture, I don't think it is THAT ZOOMED IN, i.e. the pointy bits aren't elf ears...

    Announcement on Sunday for next Saturday Pre-Order seems likely?

    Dawnbringers Chronicles returning, So incredible !

    Last time, wasn't there like 4 stories, one per week, leading up to the preorder ? That would make it quite late, right ?

  6. I'm glad my expectations where confirmed by the Fang, but as said by THW : "Chorfs in 4th Ed." =/= in 2024.

    This year we have FEC & Death, then the end of Dawnbringers (Chaos "Maraudeurs", lady of Ruin, etc) & Warcry (LRL vs Nighthaunt), then Skaven and Stormcast. It's PACKED enough !

  7. I'm absolutely sure Chaos Dwarfs will come in AOS4, maybe not in 2024, but soonish : we have, like Kharadron Overlords since the first AOS rulebook in 2015, too many hints in the background and models like Warcry or Hobgrots.

    Regarding Beasts of Chaos, they do 100% belong in TOW (both the WFB setting and the current TOW narrative), that's for sure.

    For AOS, the God-ification would be an elegant solution (PESTIGORS, GW), instead of pure squatting (well I also think Bonespliterz are prime candidates to go back to TOW but with COS, GW showed the squatting could be quite erratic, with then squatted kits reappearing in TOW).

    But with pure AOS models (Endless Spells, Faction Scenery, Underworlds*, new Heroes, Warcry appearances, etc.) being released for BoC, I don't see them squatted anyway. 

    * Like Gitmob and Bonespliterz you could say ...

    ChaosHounds.jpg.d3e3e71060a55aee87266fab3333cd83.jpgThey did in a really distant past

    I'm strangely fascinated by this kit I was not aware of (I started WFB in 2003).

    And instead of redoing the whole kit in plastic for Warriors of Chaos, GW could just release a FW resin Chaos Beast Handler on 30x30 base, I guess...

    BTW I love the fact that TOW, like HH, publishes rules for non-existant models, encouraging the implied use of (100% GW-made) Proxy and Conversations ! (I don't think the Chaos Beast Handler will fall into that category BTW, as it apparently belongs to the Grand Army List...)

    @Garrac TOW is currently also published in French and German, but man I DREAD to read the awful French translation I just ordered (for the Lore sections ; in terms of rules it is generally okay, but the background.... Back in 2000's when we had a French White Dwarf the quality was quite good - at least that's what I thought as a youngling).

    Does this means the new plastic kit for Chaos Warriors is going to be Chaos Hounds with Handlers ? Curious. 

    BTW, no Mutalith / Big Red monster for Woc lists, nor Chaos Warshrine ??

    The Rumour Engines site is done for the moment. I hope it helps us to navigate between the ton of content released during the years: https://rumour-engines.netlify.app/

    Any feedback is welcome.

    Absolutely glorious @Ejecutor ! Thank you.

    Two ideas :

    • Could we maybe have a button to go directly to the bottom of your site, next to the one leading back to the top ?
    • I don't know nothing about website making but could we also have a kind of "Recap pane" of some sort with all the unresolved RE (so we don't need to scroll) ?

    Anyway great work !

    Last Valrak rumors was O&G vs Dwarfs but he did not mention the time of release

     

    O&G vs Empre in summer was a Hastings' rumors 

    Well, that "Hastings" over there at War of Sigmar probably isn't the same guy from Warseer time, as he is usually quite wrong.

    On the other hand, Valrak Rumors + Dwarfen Dice = I trust the next TOW release is Orcs & Goblins vs Dwarfen Kingdoms next in 2024.

    I'm also taking from the last TOW Lore article that we could see Chaos Warriors before they got to the Siege of Praag (which is "not anytime soon" and got me worried for my black armored barbarians) ...

  12. 62.50 for 20 Tomb Guards is very high, too high for me TBF...

    Then if we look at an old-but-modern WFB range still available : Dark Elves

    • 10 Corsaire : 25 euros
    • 10 Dreadspers : 32.50 euros. 
    • 10 Black Guards : 45 euros.

    Tomb Guards would be the equivalent of Black Guards, and yet GW did not just apply the "elite price" (doubling it)... At least that.

  13. That Store Anniversary Auric Runesmiter and the Vulkyn Flameseekers for Warcry do convince me the range is in for a resculpt in 4th ed. @Chikout

    BTW, happy New Years everyone. I'm really happy to see the return of the Old World (but the prices...), but with @KingBrodd let's take a moment to think about how good AOS state is right now : Dawnbringers, Cities of Sigmar, Flesh-eater Courts, Warcry and Underworlds, and soon Skavens with 4th edition : 2024 is going to be a great year for everything "Fantasy" in the Warhammer-verse :D

    Yes, but I will buy them, as I want more TOW releases. 😉 They stopped providing ePub battletomes for AoS, probably because of this. So it seems they don't care that it will happen with the TOW books.

    for AOS you get a code in the printed book to get access to it in the App (yeah, that's no ePub proper but still digital content)

    But yeah, same as you !

    My money on Lady of Ruin's mount.

    Absolutely, a S2D Heroes with the Chaos Spear Rumor engine. The LoR is related in some way to Archaon and the Varanguard. 

    But yeah, that mouth is also a bit Kruleboyz- or Squig-y... (I'd hoped for plastic Plague Toads, but not enough diseased, and armor looks Chaos Undivided-y). 

    BTW, the rules for TOW are SO promising, and that new Vampire Lady is gorgeous. Great Warhammd Monday !

    Shoot the messenger if you want, I don't mind. Just don't do it on my poor right knee xD

    Imo all kind of rumour/data is wellcome and always lead to interesting conversations. From now on, as this guy mentions are always bringing debate I will try to stop the video while I listen to it so I can point to the source/ quote him better.

    Yes please by all means continue to share those rumors ! 

    As I said I'm not even criticizing the source itself, just not liking GW's potential decisions in what I'm reading ... because Chaos 😈.

    (BTW we should continue this conversation in the Old World Thread)

    What they were saying is that this is all that they have prepared/planned. If it sells well they would go with more. Also heard them saying that the whole team working on this left and the current one has been working for quite a small time. Like 6 months only.

    That would explain the changing plans regarding plastic Kislev and Cathay. 

    BTW I'm not shooting the messenger, I just :

    1. love Chaos ;

    2. think it is weird they have plans for the quite limited amount of "TOW Core Factions" BUT the two Chaos ones ... (I mean, they aren't including all the old WFB factions in TOW, yet even the few they keep aren't all going to be covered by Bretonian-like medium releases ? MADNESS :P)
