ArcLight Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 It'll be interesting to see what the Weirdbrute Wrekkaz are - 3-man 50mm base infantry to fill that niche within the army? Just alternative Brutes? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rachmani Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 I would imagine them to be troll sized single units. Like mutated monstrosities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandlemad Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 With a name like Weirdbrute Wrekkas, what I’m hoping for is brutes who the power of the waaaagh has made go full super-saiyan. Stripped of their armour to the waist, glowing eyes, flame-wreathed fists that can punch through a fortification. No need for siege weapons, just get these muscle-wizards riled up and have them brute force their way through in classic ironjaws fashion. 8 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lost Sigmarite Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Weirdbrute Wrekkaz, I think will have some magical connection at play, just like the Weirdnob Shaman we already have. Weird indicates Waaagh! magic is in play. It's an interesting way to take IJ and I love it. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzarFreymann Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 So excited, escpecially for an Ardboy hero and the Weirdbrute ! So, the anvilsmaha will be a Megaboss on foot or a Character on Troggoth ? Not sure to understand... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucentia Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Weirdbrute Wrekkaz as a name kinda gives me warcry squad vibes, for what it's worth. But the 'wrekkaz' part also makes me think they could wind up being the Ironjawz equivalent of a seige engine, some sort of wizard unit that's so angry about castle walls and fortifications that they can make them explode with their minds? But some sort of self-buffing wizard melee unit is probably the right call. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrekkaz is plural so it's definitely a unit and not a hero. I'm guessing an elite unit, hopefully with a dual build. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of the upcoming Cities release and the way they revealed the new Wildecorps guys, it might not always be so cut and dry going forwards - particularly when warbands aren't tied to big dual boxes there's no reason they couldn't release the upcoming warbands as part of army updates. I'm inclined to think they are a specific AoS unit as well personally, but I don't think Warcry can necessarily be dismissed as a possibility out of hand. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A siege engine pulled by the pigs, defended by the "Wrekkaz" and with the Weirdbrute on top shooting spells. But since we already got the maw grunta probably not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be dismissed because it would say warcry on the listing like this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes also think based on the gnarlwood loremasters show that the next destruction warband for warcry will be ogors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentSentinel Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 I'm really keen to see what the Wrekkaz look like, some sort of unit of brutes being buffed/amplified by a ton of waaagh energy sounds like a cool concept. Will be interesting to see what weapons they might have or whether they just punch stuff with waaagh infused punches (which would be a very Ironjawz thing to do). I'm also keen to see how much of a glowup Ardboyz have received. All this Ironjawz hype has made me dig out the Ironjawz models I bought years ago, time to finally make that angry red-skinned Ironjawz colour scheme idea a reality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draznak Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Is Wrekkaz weirdboy a unit or a character? I can't decide but I'd say the second option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First the entire CoS codex, now the upcoming Orruk releases and a whole FEC model! Wouldn’t be surprised if we learn about all the upcoming releases for the next two years at this point. Firing the playtesters sure did a lot of good to stop the leaks didn't it! 8 hours ago, Matrindur said: What the hell happened to those sprues that they ended up at a car boot sale for £1 Going theory seems to be somebody took them out of GW's waste disposal.

Vasshpit Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 Perhaps weirdbrute wrekkaz and Anvilsmasha are bonesplitterz kits? Awesome news to wake up to!! I am most curious to see what route the Ardboyz took in design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nezzhil Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 (edited) Weirdbrute Wrekkaz resembles an anti-magic unit to me. Mork usually is more related to be an antiwizard god that punish weak wizards of other races Edited August 13, 2023 by Nezzhil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
