This is artwork from the old KO battletome, they could have had SoB planned way back then (although I doubt they did) but I really think this is just the artist taking some artistic license with the aleguzzler. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back when the show originally came out I painted - or at least attempted to - a WHFB Giant/Aleguzzler Gargant into the Colossal Titan of the show. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutton Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I think there must be some element of the Sons of Behamut release we're not seeing. While I wouldn't be surprised if the army was simply Bragg and the aleguzzler kits, it doesn't seem...feasible as a whole faction. 1) There'd be zero diversity or ways to play the thing, aside from potential mini-faction rules, which, even in themselves would be highly limited with so few warscrolls. 2) They're selling us warscrolls for the army. So are they going to sell us 2 cards and maybe one sheet of tokens? Seems like a stretch. Although GW's greed knows no bounds, so who can say? 3) It feels unlikely anyone would be able to convince John Businessman that they could release an entirely new army (warscroll cards, tome, and all) with only two models in the range. It's not enough to build up marketing hype. So my guess is that there are going to be more models than we can anticipate (or multikits), OR the whole Sons of Behamut thing isn't a full army, but rather some kind of mercenary sub-faction for Destruction.

This makes sense to me. I do think it's a new proper faction because there were warscroll cards, but the models could act like a mercenary faction and therefore the tome includes all the different rules for other mixing with other factions. Maybe? Dunno on that one. Seems most likely that more units surely have to be coming, as you said. Then again, GW are GW and they're not exactly against releasing small armies with limited kits. Flesh Eater Courts are an example. There are a total of 4 kits? Can't quite remember. Not to mention Archaon and the Varanguard are considered a viable way to play by GW. So maybe they view each gargant model as having their own rules, plus a multipart new hero that is massive like Archaon, terrain and endless spells, and they make up the lack of extra units by having some allying/mercenary capacity? I'm not saying I think that's a good idea. Just that seeing the Warscroll Cards shipped this far in advance makes me think it's somewhere in the nearish future rather than ages away, and I can't see them doing a proper expanded new army so close to Lumineth. Just a gut feeling, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they did, but like all warscroll cards it would be one shipment and once out of stock GW doesn't seem to order more. Dice have been left out of one or two factions here and there (eg Slaanesh didn't get any faction dice); however warscroll cards I believe have been released for every single faction so far with a 2.0 Battletome. If you worship Nurgle you gotta expect some dribbling...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Imperial Knights army literally launched with one kit, and that’s all they had for like 3 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucentia Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 If I remember correctly the Knights didn't get a codex of their own until the other kits were released though, right? They were just available to imperial factions as a stand-alone piece before that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jymmy Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Knights got two codexes with a single kit (maybe two if we count the warden variant) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novakai Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Their where also the Armigers, if I recall correctly, they where release first in the Forgebane box, but where release separately when IK codex came out with the other variant they released the Castellan/ Valiant was a new kit and Canis Rex came out a bit later after the codex drop Warden/Gallant/Crusader kit existed before the codex.

Chikout Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I am very curious to see if they keep the current kit. If they keep it there could be at least two warscrolls from that kit. A new bigger kit could build a couple of elite options and then we could have a hero kit with options for warrior, mage and special character. Personally I hope they take a step away from the potbellied drunkard aesthetic towards something more menacing but that might be an unpopular opinion.

Have the proper ones with their stones and clubs and glimmer of menacing intellect, and then have their, um, "remote cousins" who are visiting from the boonies. Have a rule called "Aww No, Who Invited Them" that does something to reflect embarrassment over the trashy relatives.

Yes they did 17 cards and 2 token sheets to be fair, I would struggle to see that amount from one or two kits... FEC is also 5 kits including the Varghulf Courtier. Also how can a 2 units faction have endless spells? All wizards? The King is a wizard and the spells can be used only by him? I doubt If they sell cards it means there’s a decent amount available cause otherwise you can just use the Battletome open to that page...

sandlemad Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) The knights had a sort of slow-grow situation, starting from a codex with one kit and two units/warscrolls/datasheets, moving to an updated kit with five warscrolls in a new codex, and now have a codex with 3-4 kits and ten warscolls. And a sizeable chaos equivalent with an additional kit and two more builds. In that, they followed GW's changing feelings about the viability of a faction built around big guys, from initial caution (a bunch of the model options were left on the table and according to Jes Goodwin then put into development literally weeks after the first IK release, when they saw how good the sales numbers were) to making it a fairly fully fledged faction. Sons of Behemat would not necessarily be starting from a standing position of one kit. To a degree imperial knights have set out the path and proven that big dude armies of a handful of units can work. I wouldn't go in expecting loads of new boxes and I doubt they'd have the same appeal as knights do in 40k but maybe two new kits with multiple builds and a battletome of 5-6 warscrolls . Doesn't seem too much to expect. Edited February 2, 2020 by sandlemad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not AoS related, but as someone that was glacially slow building a Genestealer Cult army, I am pretty disappointed the Start Collecting has the Ridge Runner and not the Goliath Truck included. I was counting on the Start Collecting featuring the truck to finally finish my army. Now, I don't know if I ever will finish it.

The sad thing about collecting Genestealer Cults is that the individual models aren't the worst in terms of pricing, but the super low points costs of everything means you need absurd numbers of them. Such a cool army with an insanely high price of entry I'm hoping the Lumineth strike a good balance between elite and good prices; after Bonereapers, my expectations are actually pretty high that they won't break the bank.

GeneralZero Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Whatever you do, those armies are set to cost you around 350 to 500 eur. This is the GW business plan. Some are a bit more (or way more). Some are a bit less (and -rarely- way less). If you want a new army on sprue with a lower cost, the only way is big boxes (dual armies box, start collecting and battleforce). Even with that you fall into the 350/500€. But sometimes, it is worth it: my last example: karadron army: bough 3 aether war sold 3 DoT halves (cost= 153€), sold 2 enrrimaster with balloon and 2 gunhaulers (got back 105€) then bough 2 SC and a Ironclad (and the warband with khermist). Total cost 240€ for: 1 enrimaste balloon + 8 * 3 balloon guys + 3 gunhaulers + 10 thunderers + Ironclad + 2 enrimasters + warband with khermist. (I plan to sell 2*3 balloon guys to get for free the remaining HQ). (total is more than 2500pts) So, if you are not in a hurry, you can build armies at reasonable cost.
