    I wonder about beasts. They seem to be doing everything they can to avoid duplication between old world and aos. It's funny, when they redesigned ardboyz, I expected them to look like the underworlds warband, which were like more dynamic versions of the old design. Instead, the design is a massive departure, drawing a clear line between the old black orcs and the new ironjawz range. It's clear a lot of this must have been due to a conscious decision to ensure the models can't be purchased to be used in both game systems. We also have pictures of the old metal treeman rather than the sylvaneth version for old world, which is a pretty mad choice. We know beasts of chaos are one of the starter factions in old world, so it would be weird for them to be used in both game systems. I wonder if they'll get squatted eventually from aos?

    We know we're getting ushoran at some point, and I guess this would have to come around the same time as new FEC battletome (which is set for 'winter 2023'). So book 3 ushoran seems a safe bet. But at the same time, they've teased some narrative that involves valkia. So it could be that she becomes the posterchild of the next dawnbringers, particularly if she gets a big new centrepiece model, and ushoran gets pushed back.

    Are there any rumours about what there might be for gargants? I saw there's a bit of narrative about your namesake leading a stomp. Wonder if there are new rules

    Man that's super interesting, thanks! I wonder how a big pig list compares to a stonehorn BCR list.

    It's a Saturday, so hopefully it's when the actual release is!

    Not long to wait...
  7. Jagged Red Lines
    Agreed. In terms of design, ironjawz and KB look too different to share a battletome

    Might be just my misplaced faith in Grimnir, but I feel like Fyreslayers might get something in the preview. Could be just underworlds/warcry, or something in dawnbringer. But my beardsense is tingling.
  9. Jagged Red Lines
    I saw it.
  10. Jagged Red Lines
    No archers. Super lame launch box.

    I mean, there were rumours that beasts of chaos were getting squatted too at one point - but then they got a new book. Maybe they still will once the old world comes out, especially as beasts are an old world starter faction. GW seem to be doing whatever they can to avoid people using miniatures in both games.
  12. Jagged Red Lines
    Yeah before I saw it was WH+ I thought it might be Tyrion. Hopefully soon
  13. Jagged Red Lines
    Anything for ogors or sons?

    Got a whitefang like. Buckle up for a celestant prime remake. BRING ME THANOS

    It's because they're portrayed like the norse einherjar, sent from valhalla and wreathed in elemental lightning as they fight. Instead what we get is a standard warrior in immaculate, generic-looking fantasy armour. Part of the problem is because GW is drawing on their experience with space marines. With SM, they're deliberately offered up as a blank canvas, in order to appeal to the widest audience. You can have viking marines, roman marines, mongolian marines etc. Because stormcast are the poster faction in AoS, in the initial design philosophy you can see they were also deliberately trying to keep them quite bland. Then, perhaps realising the base kits weren't quite as customisable, they later offered robed wizard stormcast, then more savage-looking stormcast, to provide more flavours for different players. With the move to thunderstrike, you can see they're trying to standardise the theme again but perhaps this time giving them more character. It's my hope they lean into that. Make them look more like this. Let's go full Thor Ragnarok with them.

    Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I think GW doesn't do justice in their sculpts to how cool stormcast actually are as a concept. Look at this art and imagine a model like this. Something like the c'tan void dragon, leaping into the air carried up in the lightning. Instead they just look like a bunch of LARPers milling around. I hope they at least do justice to the celestant prime in this respect when they come to redesign it.

    THWG said November as far as I remember
  18. Jagged Red Lines
    Has there been a rumour I missed on this?
  19. Jagged Red Lines
    Would love to see an AoS equivalent of dark eldar mandrakes. One of the coolest concepts in 40k imo.

    How do you feel about Ironskull's Boyz? These would probably be what new ardboyz would look like? I can see how they're a lot better than the existing sculpts. But personally, I still don't like them as much as the other ironjawz stuff. I don't know whether it's the legs, or what. I'd just much prefer they redesigned them.

    Basically, the points only come directly from GW, so they can't leak in the same way as the GHB or battletome. If we get rumours about specific points adjustments, then the only possible source is GW itself. Considering that amounts to someone putting their jobs at risk, I think those rumours are highly questionable. Hopefully we should get the balance update today though.

    I guess aside from cities launch box, the only other AoS from this weekend will probably be the new scenery. I doubt they'll show us any more on Dawnbringers 2. It's not until Autumn that it's out? By GW's logic, that could be as late as November

    Wonder when they'll release an audiobook of Yndrasta. I'm desperately keen to read it, but don't want to pay through the nose for it on ebay.
