    Correction: Beasts of chaos were a wild version of chaos in the old world. When AoS started, they were just a line of funky goat-men and their pet monsters, and anything could've been done with them. And I agree that not moving them to destruction has been a missed opportunity.

    Their origin story of being created but abandoned by chaos is good and could have stayed, that's a solid origin story, just make them leave chaos in response and decide to ruin everything for everyone.

    Something I'd love would be if they have both destruction and chaos keywords. It'd be a first for AoS, but I can't see how it would be gamebreaking.

    In terms of their goals (anarchy and overthrowing law and order) they are aligned with both chaos and destruction. 

    There's also an origin myth that they're descended from a 'gorfather', which they might see in kragnos.

    Of course, highly doubtful this would happen. If GW had intended kraggy to be used with boc, they'd have included some beasts in there with the mixed destruction army shot.

  2. I'm sure Legions of Nagash will return at some point, when skeletor inevitably gets reborn. Maybe in a Broken Realms style campaign book a year or so into the next edition, which allows you to take any death keyword unit under a new set of allegiance abilities.

    In a similar vein, I'm wondering if BR: Kragnos has a 'legions of destruction' style list, which would allow you to soup a list from multiple destruction books under his own allegiance abilities. Or if he's purely a mega gargant- type ally that you can just bring into any other destruction army.

  3. I'm definitely going to make a wolfy soulblight army. Might even put the blood knights on thunderwolves to continue the theme.

    The vampire centaurs seem utterly mental to me though. The wings are emerging from its waist. The only way that thing is going to fly is if she's got abs of steel.

    Kragnos is going to be bought and converted into a massive dragon ogor shaggoth. I think its probably the most epic model I've seen so far in AoS

  4. Not a huge fan of wimpy orruks, but then beefy orruks were never really my bag either. Happy for those that are stoked by this though.

    Personally, I'm hoping we get more information on the "knightly stormcast".

    For instance, are they on horseback or not? 

    Or are they not stormcast at all but rather order of azyr?

    The List Labs guy is being a bit mischievous - there's only a very small amount of new rumour info in the video, and it doesn't feel particularly earth-shaking stuff, although he's also thankfully not vague about it. If he has read the rules there's presumably plenty more he could have packed in, but I guess he's intending to parcel it out more slowly to reel in subscribers for the channel. I don't particularly begrudge him that - I'd just like to know more sooner.

    So for those who don't want to watch it, the rumours this time are more info about command abilities:

    • Ranges on generic command abilities increased to 18"/12".
    • Unit champions are also going to be able to use command abilities.
    • There's a new generic command ability that gives +1 to hit.

    Definitely feel its more to do with how the community has reacted toward him passing on what he found out, than him being coy about revealing too much.

    When reacting to stuff, I often feel like people forget that the person you're talking about might actually be reading what you've said about them.

    He might be less willing to put his head above the parapet again, which is honestly a big shame.

    It could just be them hiding the obvious if they said AoS was on Saturday

    Wouldn't be hugely obvious. The fact that there are two days of 40k doesn't mean that one of those days is dedicated to a new edition.

  7. My initial thoughts when I saw this rumour was that they could add new keywords to existing warscrolls, like infantry, cavalry, artillery, monstrous cavalry etc.

    That would make the generic battalions in the core book a bit more diverse (I.e. take two infantry, one cavalry and one artillery etc).

  8. Something I'm really curious about is the future for duardin. I wonder if they'll get a combined dispossed and fyreslayer battletome.

    Fyreslayers will go down radically in power if AoS3 rumours are right (i.e. no lotl or save stacking). I imagine they'll be one of the first new battletomes.

    But I can't really see them getting an expansion to their range, as they're not a hugely popular army (nappy dwarves are a niche interest).

    We've had a few mentions of Grungni in the broken realms books, and a white haired dwarf in the Belakor book.

    Makes me wonder if they'll get the Orruk Warclans treatment.

  9. Dont believe a single thing from that list. Here's another, far more likely:

     

    Soulblight dragon/centrepiece/Aborash

    Soulblight direwolves 

    Soulblight heavy infantry/vampire thralls

    New destruction god - Kragnos

    AoS 3.0 starter set with more elegant looking, knightly stormcast versus a mixed greenskin army

    I think we are missing something- just reread the email from GW and it says "Epic Warhammer fest news" Maybe Saturday is the return of Epic! Or Warmaster! Surprise!😆

    Yeah! Honest Wargamer speculated it'll be something to do with Epic 40k/HH. They have the titans and flyers already from Titanicus and Aeronautica respectively, would make sense to add infantry and tanks too and make it into a broader game.

    Saturday could be Old World or Total War stuff.

    It'd be weird if it was new edition AoS and they didn't just say it was AoS. Then again, they might just want to trick 40k players into watching it too.

    Yeah I thought so too. Surely they would say a second day of AoS if it was 3.0.

    Actually I don't think we'll get a 3.0 announcement at this event. I think Saturday is old world.

    I think the AoS specific announcements will be soulblight stuff. Kragnos might not fit with that, so the big boy could be revealed later too. 

  12. Yeah its honestly pretty weird we haven't seen more gravelords. I feel like there are more kits to come, dire wolves etc. 

    I'm also curious where they fit in with the broken realms releases. Will they be before or after kragnos?

    I imagine they would be before, as the kragnos story could probably flow in better to aos 3.0.

    But if that's so, then kragnos model will probably be the very last thing they reveal from that book.

    Meaning, we've probably got another month or so of speculation over what he might be.

    He's also trying to jump start a YouTube channel for himself, so it might be his hope is by tossing out these 'reliable' rumours he can get a core audience ("don't forget to...") Like and Subscribing enough that drop off when he's found out to be talking out of his rear end doesn't matter much due to the 'cushion' he formed in the time prior.

    If he wanted to just spaff out a load of clickbait rumours to boost his channel, he'd have gone with the line of 'I have a source that has seen the book.'

    That way, if they're later proven wrong he can blame the source and say he is just reporting what he heard. 

    Instead, he's said that he is the one that has seen the book. He is the source. If what he's said proves to be wrong, his credibility would be directly affected. He's put his reputation on the line here by his choice of words, which to me indicates a level of confidence.
