I would be happy with just a narrative book and some old model updates. With Warcry, Underworlds and Cursed City (also adding stuff for AoS) we maybe will see more focus on the side-games after the 'confirmed' AoS battletomes and get new stuff in 2023. So much stuff and no money All this stuff comes in cycles. Everyone seems to be forgetting that during the good AoS times last year, from the release of soulblight straight through the 3rd edition relaunch of AOS, all the releases and articles were essentially AoS related and 40K got the shaft. And you know what? During that time the 40K community sounded just like us, with "Wheres my stuff" syndrome. Calm down, take a breath, GW is a multimillion dollar company, they are not going to kill one of their cash cows. There's more AoS stuff coming. Let's see what Adepticon has to say. And judging by the past few years of new army releases, there's at least one unannounced brand spanking new army in the works for 2022 that we haven't seen yet. How's that for a rumor? 🤗 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter if the designers have a chip on their shoulder about not wanting to be Fantasy again; Seraphon and Skaven exist and need proper updates. FEC and FS need to be actual armies. This part really hits home for me. Age of Sigmar is still saddled with a lot of baggage from Warhammer Fantasy and some half-realized ideas from first edition. There are definitely some armies around that need to properly be brought into the mortal realms. Since the game is in 3rd edition now, I think we can't use the excuse that we are in the "just starting out" period anymore. I hope that the recent range refresh of Soulblight Gravelords has done well enough to signal to GW that these kinds of updates are worthwhile and that they don't need to constantly rely on releasing more and more micro-factions to keep profits up. They certainly seem to have been a big hit if online buzz and tournament representation are anything to go by. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's some "classic/generic fantasy" stuff that simply will never go out of style, and vampires and zombies are one. The Lumineth similarly do a lot to hit the "high elf" vibe with their cavalry and foot soldiers while also having some interesting AoS weirdness for those who want it, and I'm hopeful that this indicates we'll get more projects bringing that "traditional" fantasy vibe into AoS without abandoning what makes the Mortal Realms unique as a setting. The Coalition mechanics are likewise a great avenue for GW to explore to expand armies with minimal resources and risk, though it unfortunately seems like they're backing out of that somewhat if the Maggotkin book is any indication. Darn it, GW, let me yeet my Wanderer Wild Riders through my Sylvaneth Wyldwoods! Edited March 22, 2022 by acr0ssth3p0nd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way they did Soulblight Gravelords should be an example of how to proceed with redoing armies. Make some of the old units feel current and replace the heroes of old with awesome new ones and nobody remembers what they lost anymore. This could easily be made into a formula for succes. Redo battleline units, make new leaders, keep some of the models that hold up nicely. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've done rumour engines where they photoshopped out the background before. I think that is the case here. They look like trophies so chaos or destruction are the options. Definitely an AoS rumour, so gw haven't given up on us completely. Edit. Wow did they just mess up or are we seeing a megag argant upgrade like they did with Knights and they just forgot this part was old?

Pariah7echo Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 I can't zoom in enough to know, are the runes on the axe slightly different? If not its gotta be something like the Knight Preceptor. So Shaman Gargant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chikout Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 So it's painted differently. The haft of the axe and the sword are different. I think we are getting a mega gargant upgrade sprue, like we did with the 40k Knights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
