I'm hoping like hell that we can.... but I feel the chances of it happening are incredibly slim.

Then I might not play 4th to be honest. I sound like a sourpuss, I know, but it‘s GW‘s fault. 😋 I could use them as Tzaangor or Enlightrned on foot proxies, but that‘s kinda lame too. Is it so much to ask to mix demons, birds and armored warriors plus mutated spawns? 😚

There a passage talking about how Sigmar force the Dragon ogres out Azyr into Ghur

Dragon Ogre - Warhammer - The Old World - Lexicanum

New plastics for Dragon Ogres would be cool. I am certain they could improve the older plastics a lot, but for which army? BoC are gone, There will certainly not be a new plastic Dragon Ogres set for TOW, as they have the old plastic ones.

Is this new artwork? Looks so good! Always thought the current ones were quite poor.

Presumably they'd join Slaves to Darkness.

In theory all the old models should be safe for now. It is when the book drops for Cities when we should all get worried.

Right now for 40k every book drop for a faction sees a lot of models get removed. Figure the same will happen with 4.0 with a lot of the older stuff being sent back to Old World.

Only funny thing is that they have to get rid of everything right lol? There is no way that GW only takes away one of the remaining races and leave the other two....................... unless they think we are that stupid.

Hell they already set up Dark Elves getting kicked out in the last book in the most ham-fisted way possible lol

Excited, you mean? Out of all the factions I am most looking forward to seeing what they do with Cities. I think it is pretty clear that we will see the remaining Duardin kits move to ToW. Rumours point to potential Fannatics/Cogfort? Will the Dispossessed remain a part of Cities?

I agree with worried rather than excited. If we see multiracial kits for CoS won't be this edition, I would say. So worried because it will take years until we see them back, if we see them back.

I say this time and time again i don't care for Disspossed or Darkling covens as a subfaction model faction but I do want is dwarfs and elves in CoS

A cogsmith dwarf handling the steam tank/Cogfort like the short story, a elevn mage of the College arcanum that sort of thing. Make it unique then just Imperial guard flintlock edition

I screenshotted the most important part of Sprues and Brews video covering the core book.

Agreed 100%. I would like to see the Dwarf and Dark elf kits removed and replaced with new Human/Duardin and Aelve kits in the Cities aesthetic.

I was just watching the flip-through of the new Core Book, and something from the Cities section caught my eye (and got me too excited/hopeful again):

Quote

stuff about Freeguild and Devoted The Dispossessed reinforce the armies with clanking, piston legged cogforts and impenetrable shieldwalls, their natural ability in architecture vital for ensuring new strongpoints weather the unforgiving landscape. stuff about aelves

There is no mention of Ironweld anywhere in on the 2 pages Cities got. I'm 100% biased here, but I'm thinking this means Dispossessed will be where we get heavy infantry (instead of a unit of Arch-Knights) and the cogfort, and they'll probably shift from "regular dwarf warriors" to "regular dwarf engineers" (lower tech than Kharadron, less refined medieval/renaissance steampunk vs almost sci-fi airships).
And they finally have an official, written down reason to go on Dawnbringer Crusades, with them building the strongpoints when they reach their destination (probably in the Dawnbringers books already but I still don't have them :D)

Privateers and Darkling get the usual mention of making up the fleets of the cities (I don't think Darkling were ever mentioned as being part of the fleets before), so I still stand by my theory that if aelves stay in cities they'll be nautically themed.

Yeah this looks like it's shaping up to be less of a humans/dwarfs/elves divide and more of a "regular military and cults" (humans), "big war machines" (dwarfs) and "navy" (elves).

Would be a really nice throwback to really old Warhammer (like, 80s WFB, 1st to 3rd edition) where "sea elves" were a thing you could find all over the Old World. I'd really like a refresher of the CoS elves and dwarfs so they can stop being WFB leftovers but I think we'll have to wait a while before they finish the human part of Cities.

Whitefang Jr. did mention the cogfort, and now with it being tied to dwarfs (and them disappearing into TOW), I wouldn't think their time is too far away.

****** it, here comes CoS wishlist 5.0;

Spoiler
  1. Dispossessed Cogfort
  2. Dispossessed Steam-Walker (Steam Tank replacement in terms of size)*
  3. Dispossessed Heavy Infantry
  4. Dispossessed Engineer
  5. Devoted Priest
  6. Devoted Flagellants
  7. Devoted Fanatics
  8. Freeguild Marshal on Big Mount
  9. Freeguild Bombardier-Major
  10. Collegiate Fire Mage
  11. Collegiate Life Mage

BONUS: Terrain and Endless Spells

*: I really want new Gyrocraft as a reference to Khazalid flying machines that were the precursor to Kharadron vehicles, but I'm not sure if GW want to have flying dwarfs in two factions.

All Ironweld units cut, Ironweld Great Cannon keeps the name but gains Freeguild Keyword, all Fantasy dwarfs removed. Luminark/Hurricanum stays.

Dark Elves stay until Malerion and get refreshed after that with a more unique nautical aesthetic (Dispossessed = Kharadron Lite, Cities Aelves = Idoneth Lite?).

As an StD player I don't think more units are really needed for StD. I would personally prefer to see an updated Manticore and chariot.

What I would love to see is that the expand the Alchemite Warforger more. Like more specialist wizards from the different realms.

There are already heavy armoured dwarf warriors with CoS. So that concept is already taken. What they could do is make new mini's for them when the older ones go TOW. But I don't know if that is very likely.

Most of dispossessed are already gone / repacking for TOW only

Bonesplitterz and Beastmen seem will have some “ concluding” lore in digital battletomes after Skaventide release.

 

Best tease is for sure for Chorfs !

GW said we would get an ironweld themed battle formation in the faction pack, and since they probably copyrighted the name "ironweld", I don't see it going anywhere. My opinion is that going forward dispossessed = ironweld, and you get your cogfort, great cannons crewed by humans and dwarfen shield walls fighting together. I prefer it that way, I like it when CoS lists allow for racemixing.
