Besides both being Duardin they have about as much in common as Lumineth and Sylvaneth.
Bit different. Sylvaneth have their god, and Lumineth have their respective gods. If a faction shares a god or otherwise a warlord to unify disparate groups (like Gordrakk in warclans), then that's definitely more than enough reason to put them in the same tome.

- It kills hope of new kits.
- Either Kharadron or Fyreslayers have their identity ripped out. Probably the only faction in all of the Mortal Realms that were not serving some god or the other.
- Essentially halves the battletome for KO or FS.
Dont agree with any of those points.

Haven't seen anyone complaining about orruk soup with the warclans book. That's one of my favourite battletomes from GW.
Two distinct armylists, if you want to run pure fyreslayers, or pure KO. And maybe a third list under Grungni, if you want to soup.
Its still possible to run your same army that you've always run, I don't get the drama over this. As a fyreslayers player, I ordinarily run a gunhauler anyway as an ally in my hearthguard heavy list.
I think what would be cool is if they release some new units for Grungni's souped list, like automata. Either way, this is exciting for me. More options for list building is a great thing.

I hope Vorgaroth doesn’t go just yet, got to buy mine at the end of the month!
Its a great model, amazing to see on the table. But if FW stops selling it, its rules will go to legends and suddenly you won't be able to use it in most matched play games. Definitely a bit of a gamble.

Am i the only one thats getting more clueless about what the new army looks like after all these rumour engines? I went from gitmob grots to lotr/hobbit orks to swamp monsters to tiki masks to old school orks with warmachines and back to the first one. Now we got some weird shield like thing again after the last one turned out to be a chaos thing. I'm confused now XD.
It looks like this:

The FW line for AOS is a bit depressing, but so many epic large scale models are available from GW it makes up for it.
I wonder if it will get reinvigorated or if The Old World is getting precedence.
Looks like they're gradually phasing everything fantasy out, there's not much left.
Load of stuff went recently, including chaos dorfs. Honestly surprised to see stuff like the rogue idol still knocking around. I imagine it will get replaced with some sort of plastic rock monster equivalent in 3.0 and also go the way of the dodo.

I was on FW and clicked in the AoS region, and SKaarac and Mazarall are no longer available.
Its a shame. Imo skaarac is the best fantasy model they've ever made. It's full of movement and raw power. If they've discontinued it from poor sales they need to look at the reason for that - a consistently subpar warscroll.

Bit of a mixed blessing for beasts players, considering rumours that warscroll battalions are going away in matched play. I guess they'll have about a month to use their shiny new battalions though 🙃

Think the biggest issue with warhammer TV shows is the creative restrictions over the way the protagnoists act.
Space Marines are just dull as ditchwater, they think and talk about honour, loyalty and devotion, and not a lot else. They don't question their place in the universe, or the brutality of their creation. They don't eat, drink, defecate, laugh or ******.
All that means when they talk to each other, it makes me cringe so hard I feel like I could turn inside out. This is already bad in audiobook format and it'll be even worse in a live action format.
AOS has exactly the same problem in its stormcast, who become less human (and therefore less relateable) every time they're reforged.
If w+ is going to be successful, it needs to focus on the humans of both worlds. The freeguild infantryman fighting alongside a stormcast host, or the captain of a space marine battlebarge (think lotara sarrin). Otherwise its just going to be unwatchable cheese.

I'm really surprised about the lack of excitement regarding Warhammer+. I thought that for Warhammer geeks like us it is like a Christmas gift we always wanted. And the animations look really good.
Have you ever seen the 2010 film called Ultramarine? Not even a cast featuring John Hurt or Sean Pertwee could polish that ******.

The skinny Orruk in the trailer seems to be wearing a antler headdress, which fits with the ‘they worship Kragnos theme.
Aos 3.0 is going to be the 'silly hat edition'

I just find it weird they've launched an entire streaming platform for what will probably be initially no more than a couple of hours of content.
Why not allow it to be hosted on prime or netflix? That would be a far better way imo in bringing new people to the hobby. This w+ platform seems to be something that would appeal to those who are already fans, and even then only a minority.

Yeah was just going to say that. Looks a lot like kraggy's shield

I love the more realistic, grizzled look they've been giving female warriors recently
When you think about it, war is incredibly violent. I always would have thought male warriors would look like rugby players with more scars. There's no reason to believe female warriors would look any different.
Totally side note, but I was really interested in a viking-themed game a while ago, but it was being developed by a Korean studio. While all the men looked like hard-bitten viking veterans, all the female (supposedly shield maiden) characters looked like glamour models. I found it utterly jarring.
Female warriors should look tough enough to be able to kill a man a lot bigger than them, and hard enough to not give a ****** about it.

Anyone thinking we might get a 3.0 animated trailer (aka 40k 9th edition) this weekend?
These rumour engines seem to be building up to an imminent reveal.
-
As we go into 3.0, one of my biggest question marks is over the future of Cities of Sigmar.
As someone who bought into a heavy phoenix/phoenix guard army soon after the book came out, I'm quite worried the book will get a bit of a shakeup, with half the kits (especially high elf stuff) going to legends. Its honestly quite stressful worrying your army might get squatted at any moment

Time to watch Lotr and Hobbit again ! Visually speaking Hobbit maybe a little bit more modern
They're not wolf riders, they're warg riders!

New faction is going to be called something silly like Morruk Swamplords

I think a more wise strategy from GW is release new army/models with a good/average power and not OP but slowly increase their power with updates and rulebooks so less people are disappointed.
Lumineth are really good but tzeench is a pain to match up..especially if you play SCE
Its not just power level though. Bin books have poor internal balance. Would consider original idoneth a bin book purely because it shoehorns you into a single build.
A sin book is good not only because it does well in the meta, but also because every unit is viable and encourages a range of diverse lists. For example, cities or daughters of khaine, versus mawtribes or fyreslayers.

In my AoS playing group we joke that rules writers should have their name written down on the front page so we could know what kind of power level to expect.
"You bought a battletome from writer A? Ahhh, I can't match that with my battletome from writer B. How about this time you bring your old army with battletome from writer B so we can both have fun?"
Honest Wargamer has suggested there are two rules writers, one is called the 'sin guy' (i.e. lumineth, seraphon, tzeentch) and the other is called 'bin guy' (slaanesh, sons of behemet, sylvaneth).
I like that a lot better than naming the rules writers directly. I remember back in 5th edition 40k where Matt Ward was getting absolutely torn apart by the community. Wasn't pretty.
From what I've seen so far, gravelords looks like a 'bin' writer book

Tyrion please, I know we just got new models so I’m ok to wait a little bit but Tyrion better look better than Teclis.
He'll have some gigantic metal rainbow thing on his hat like his protege. Prepare for epic disappointment.

I'm not sure if this has been posted but I thought it was pretty cool.
‘I know beasts. I have spent my lives – both of them – hunting them, studying them, taking their measure as I run them to the ground and drive my spear into their sorry hides. So listen to me when I tell you of these creatures, and listen well, because it just might save you: whatever it is they want in Ghur, it goes beyond a simple desire for violence. As long as they and their Earthquake God roam free, none of us are safe.’
- Yndrasta, the Celestial SpearUrgh. She sucks. Reminds me of one of those Instagram poachers in Kenya.
I'm rooting for the beasts. Overthrow the oppressors. Four legs good, two legs bad.

Considering we still have rumour engines that are unsolved from a year ago, very much doubt this has anything to do with the 3.0 box.

The Rumour Thread

Got to say, why would they make a second wave of fyreslayers when they're clearly the least popular (aesthetically speaking) faction in the game.
Fyreslayers are more likely to get new units as part of a wider, more popular faction than they are on their own as a niche. Its much less of a business risk to GW if they're pitching new kits at a broader range of players than they are pitching purely at fyreslayers diehards
