Not sure why they'd even showcase models for a single codex that is being released in November. It logically would be something Age of Sigmar related, unless there happen to be new units for Codex Orks we haven't heard of.

Considering the newness of the Sons of Behemat, this is likely the only way they'd have gotten a 3e update for awhile. I do think the use of White Dwarf as a way to provide "patches" to armies is probably a fair way to do it. I wonder if Lumineth or DoK may be next. Perhaps SBGL. I figured faction-specific core battalions, grand strategies, and battle tactics were inevitable honestly. And to be frank, I still think core battalions will never reach the stage of absurdity and abuse that battletome ones did. This is still a more fair system.

I like it, but I'd like it more if we had more than three artifacts and command traits available as well as an actual spell lore.

I really hope there is some update for Forge World.

Wonder if Legion of Azgorh will get any forms of changes because of how lorewise and mechanically we're so tied to the Realm of Fire.

I think we'll realistically see a revisit of Nurgle and Slaanesh before we get a new Chaos army, but I do think a Vampire army is likely. That said, I think Neferata should run it. For Destruction, I think they could do a Creatures of Chaos style army covering various new monsters who worship or embody various aspects of Gorkamorka, or an army of Elementals inspired on the old Incarnate Elementals from FW, the concept being primordial beings of the Realms aligning with Destruction to remove the unnatural (in their eyes) influence of Grand Alliances Death, Chaos, and Order.

So my only issue is that Chaos Duardin already exist as a faction in my eyes, as the LoA. I'd rather GW and FW support their only Age of Sigmar Forgeworld army than put out a Chaos Duardin army.

Legion of Azgorh player. All I want is an update. New artifacts, command traits, a spell lore, etc. Don't leave LoA feeling like it's stuck in AoS 1.0.

I'll admit I've had a great deal of anxiety over Legion of Azgorh and their future. I love the army, but it feels almost like playing AoS 1.0 sometimes with how basic are Allegiance Abilities are. We have no spell lore, no unique terrain, no endless spells or equivalents, and barely any current lore. I'm afraid that they'll end up like getting more and more models gradually cut. There have been more Azgorh units lost than gained since Age of Sigmar released.

To be fair I'd completely forgotten the FEC battletome.

What are the possibility of "do-over" battletomes? Where they go and rewrite, revise, etc some of the older books and AoS factions that haven't held up as well as newer factions.

What if WH: Underworlds gets a mercenary system akin to Necromunda?

Conspiracy theory: Slaanesh indirectly influenced the Grots to become Mushrook addicts to provide extra power to her/him.

Honestly they probably can't say much more because they have to promote the Orks and Beasts of Chaos. Announcing Grots/Slaanesh/Darkoath would only shoot themselves in the foot.

They said it will be part of an upcoming warband.

I love how anatomically ridiculous it is. This is the kind of squigy goodness we need.

I wouldn't be surprised if they somehow sneak another release before the end of 2018.

I can see that, it'd be a Warriors of Chaos style battletome and have various rules for each God, rules for playing Undivided, and Darkoath is a pretty nice name for the unified Chaos forces. Of course, the biggest takeaway is the bigger implication of an Aelves and/or Free Cities battletome as well. And if we move further from that, every factions that got a focus is guaranteed to stay and probably get a battletome, like Gutbusters.

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2018/05/31/31st-may-faction-focus-the-beasts-of-chaosgw-homepage-post-3/ If we look back at the Faction Focus, Brayherds, Warherds, Thunderscorn, and Monsters are all included. That's a decently sized faction, and really helps consolidate subfactions left over.

Out of curiosity, does anyone else think the troggoth model represents that the Moonclan faction may not be just Grots, but an array of Destruction races all with the Moonclan keyword?

I saw someone somewhere mention how the head resembles the existing Warherd models. I feel that it is generic enough to where it could easily be Beastmen or Darkoath.

What subreddit?

I have two 120x92 bases(I believe that's the size at least), and that size works reasonably well for artillery. Magma Cannon fits well, but the Deathshrieker is a bit small on it.

My Deathshrieker and Magma didn't ship with bases.
