And I don't remember Warcry monsters getting teased on the roadmap. But I'd love to see a warband of a few monstruous fighters. Like a trio of trolls or ogors, with little critters going around. It'll feel very new. It may not fit the other destruction factions other than Kruleboyz and Gitz, but this is something I really hope they give us now that they moved way from duel boxes. A standalone troll + some other kind of woods monsters would be really cool and give a nice variety for those armys. Kruleboyz in particular have a whole monster subfaction that would really like to get something like a formoroid or a sphirax! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lost Sigmarite Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Yeah I was also thinking of Kurnothi as the Order warband, falling under the umbrella of Sylvaneth. As for Destro, the article teases something big, so I'm either guessing Ogors or GSG Troggs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucentia Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 The warcry mini-monsters are some of the best sculpts in the range, nice size for a 'big unit' in a skirmish game (where things like the AoS sized monsters I feel be just too big for the recommend board a lot of the time), and just the right sort of detail for some of the tricker painting techniques, I'm surprised we haven't seen more of them really. I guess there was the four armed centaur marshall, but I certainly wouldn't say no to another triple release of interesting monster designs (ideally for non-chaos warbands!) which are free to explore design spaces that don't get hit by the main AoS factions. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skreech Verminking Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 2 hours ago, HorticulusTGA said: Wonderful models ! Fitting both "city" and "dark woods" themes. I was debating either getting some Freeguild Steelhelm or the WHU Witch Hunters for Warcry ; this is the perfect blend (with added boschian creatures, very nice). Also, article hinting at either big (Ogor/Demi-Mancrusher ?!) or monstrous thingies for the next team... Honestly I wasn't sharing the enthusiasm of many on here about getting so much more units for CoS after last reveal, but now I can really see 1. Artillery (confirmed), 2. Elite infantry (hopefully not looking like SCE) and 3. another character (Priest of some sorts)... HYPE What makes me really intrigued, is basically the fact that units like the empire hunters or bugman rangers could really fit well as one of those units Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah for all the warbands it gets the Gnarlwood surprinsingly gets less monsters than the Eightpoints, despite being, you know, in the literal Realm of Beasts. I'd be cool to see the monsters that roam the place.

A box of monsters/creatures that can ally into certain armies/alliances would have been amazing for ghur.

MacWarhammer Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Do you guys think they’ll also bring back old terrain kits for TOW? I liked the empire building kits much better than any of the AOS terrain. I’m looking for years now to get a reasonably priced manor kit with no luck. Or the chapel or the watchtower… 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snarff Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I'm still expecting one of the Warcry bands to be FS. A Magmadroth-hunting warband with some juvenile droths and a new priest would fit the beast tracking/slaying theme perfectly. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Grimm Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 So what do you guys expect from the new TOW army lines? As I main Bretonnia I'll share my thoughts: Returning models: - Men'at'Arms (plastic); - Bowmen (plastic); - Knights Errant / Knights of the Realm (plastic); - Battle Pilgrims (resin or metal); - Reliquary (resin or metal); - Mounted Yeomen (resin or metal); - Trebuchet (resin or metal); Updated models for the initial wave of TOW: - Paladin Battle Standard Bearer (resin); - Paladin on Foot (resin); - Damsel on Foot (resin); - Damsel on Warhorse (resin); - The Fey Enchantress (resin) (possibly dual box with Mounted Damsel); - The Green Knight (resin); - Louen the Orcslayer (plastic or resin); - Questing Knights / Grail Knights (plastic) (dual box); - Knights on Foot (plastic) (hinted); Hope to be getting even more than this, but I think these models would/should get an update in order to bring Bretonnia to the 8ed WHFB model quality standard that GW are obviously aiming for.

I'm a human enjoyer, but I do love my short kings. However, if classic dwarfs are to be redone, I hope it's after FS and KO get something to push their range beyond what they are now. And I'm talking about real units and beefy kits, not another foot hero. After KO and FS get the fleshing out and range expansion they deserve, and after Chaos Dwarfs make their return in AoS, will I be happy with another dwarf faction that's more classic in appearance. In the meanwhile, the remaining Dwarfs from WFB can hang out in CoS. They are fairly good kits that hold up very well today (I had a blast assembling my gyrocopter) and they blend in super well with both SCE and the new freeguild humans. I have 0 problems with them remaining long term. I would love for a unit of dwarves or two to expand on the cities book next time around. Same goes for elves. Both of those could be closer to classical fantasy - but with a cities twist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warboss Gorbolg Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Love the Wildercorps Hunters. Immediate reaction was “the perfect Mordheim warband”. First new human unit that will be a definite buy for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
