But I don't think it is probable. Between Skaven and Beasts of Chaos, I think Skaven are more likely. They're more out-there and eye-catching than BoC tend to be. They've got this great combination of broader appeal and closer, clearer ties to the Warhammer universe and IP, which makes them great for a beginner-focused product that wants to draw in new players while getting them quickly attached to Warhammer as a specific IP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lost Sigmarite Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 (edited) I agree. Skaven are "quintessentially Warhammer". They're an absolutely iconic part of the franchise, unlike all the other armies with kits from the 2000s like Ogres and BoC (they're known, just not as big as Skaven). That's why they'll get a range refresh (I think they will some day... it's not in GW's plans to let Skaven minis from the 90s and 00s be an integral part of the AoS range forever.). Given their need of new minis and their iconic status, if I were GW I'd keep a Skaven range refresh for the launch of a new edition. New Skaven sculpts with all the hype a new edition generates ? It would sell like hotcakes. (Not counting the fact the Old World players could still buy the rats, just put them on square bases).

It might be likely we get Harbingers and Seraphon given we only have 2 release dates left before the supposed 10th pre-order. I personally want both, despite what my selfish wallet might think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were arguably the most original aspect of Warhammer Fantasy. Everything else was taken from other media and given a GW spin, but World War 1 ratmen trying to take over the world (and only failing due to their own infighting) was pretty much unique to GW. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would sell like hotcakes. (Not counting the fact the Old World players could still buy the rats, just put them on square bases). I figure Skaven taking so long is down to their update being a really big one and it’s clear they’ll be part pf something big. While I think that BoC are just as integral to Warhammer, that might just be down to me having been introduced to them back when Chaos had all three forces (beasts, mortals and daemons) in the same box/book - something that might not work like that anymore due to the split but if they gave Khorne and Nurgle their variants and folded vanilla BoC into Slaves, it could be just as fine to me (I‘m sure many new BoC players would hate that idea….) Skaven are such a different beast, they‘ll always be their own thing though. Anyways, they really should‘ve put aside the many cultists/ogroids and instead gave us more beasts in the vanilla Chaos book IMO (might‘ve helped WarCry too). I‘m still not sure a faction for everything is the right move but it‘s totally understandable that now people don‘t want to go back to armies consisting of different things. I‘ll always love the mixed armies though, especially when it‘s chaos! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only Age of Sigmar releases this summer is the lizards, harbingers and the new generals handbook. That's 3 releases over 3 months. With lizards announced today, I doubt we'll see harbingers until after 40k. Next week will most likely be Underworlds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't get any dice/cards this week we will probably not get any but the Vanguard not releasing now makes it pretty likely it consists mostly of new models. This way they can sell the new units on their own for a while before the discount box. Still not sure if it will just be the army set or some other combination (Aggradons?)

For new factions they are waiting one week (Astra Militarum) or a few months (World Eaters) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
