The Rumour Thread

[cyrus]

For comparison and reference to “ big pretenders “ those were the 40K release after new edition starter armies ( Marines and Tyranids)

Adeptus Mechanicus : 1 hero 

Necrons : 1 hero 

Dark angels : 1 hero + 1 unit

Orks : 1 hero

Tau empire : Kroot armyset+ individual release

Chaos marines: 2 heroes

 

So 1 hero + codex is still a common release in 40K and it will be also in AoS : no matter the production capacity. 

[HorticulusTGA]

I still have, use and love my Mordheim starter set scenery (and the house in the WFB 6th ed. starer set), but in this day and age, GW should really stay away from cardboard and MDF* terrain : they have set the bar too high with plastic kits since Cities of Death in 40k (4th ed.) and the Imperial Manor etc. in WFB (7th ed.).

* What do those letters exactly stand for, btw ?

Necrons were 3 hero

Edit: Dark Angels were 2 Hero + 2 unit + upgrade sprue

Medium-density fibreboard, its, like, reconstituted wood pulp, basically.

As someone whose club space is mostly stuck using a bunch of MDF terrain, I can't say I'm a big fan at all, unless you're looking to very quickly throw together a bunch of L-shaped ruins for a 40k tournament or something.  Unless you're willing to put in a bunch of additional work with texturing and cutting, you mostly wind up stuck with a bunch of low detail, identical structures.  The main advantage is it can make for good-sized sturdy pieces (and obviously it's cheaper than sculpted plastic alternatives) but it's not something I'd ever really want to fill my board with if possible.

I still think that high-quality, high-density, coloured printed card scenery kits would be an amazing avenue for GW to explore. https://battlesystems.co.uk/ does some great kits. 

Erm... seems pretty clear what I was talking about.

You said some of MDF terrain is great but gave an example of cardboard terrain. People who don't see the difference could be mislead.

Not if they read my post. 

Anyways.... 

I think for GW the best option would be for them to go for combo kits. Printed card with plastic similar to the OG Necromunda Terrain.

[LeisureCanid]

Given Whitefang's laugh suggests we maybe won't see a chariot, maybe this is a chunky Gitmob for Underworlds?

I think Necrons got three heroes? It was something more than one hero definitely.

Isn't there any cheap, good quality fantasy terrain from 3rd party companies made of plastic instead of cardboard or MDF?

The closest thing I know is Rampart. I remember when their Kickstarter came around it was like, "Wow. So much plastic for that little price?":







Their modular system is cool, and they have different aesthetics. My only problem is that there's not a fantasy set that suits what I would like. 

We have something Seraphon like:



Right now the boxes above are 49 pounds or 61 €, and they come from Poland.

Looks more like cardboard, something more in line to the old WHFB boxes or what they put inside the kids' kits for schools:

Same with the Mordheim box set and expansion terrain box. They were great entry point terrain (especially when younger).

@Aeryenn Those are made by Archon who also have Dungeons & Lasers line, which is stuff made for DnD. Some of the terrain sets can also be used for wargaming, like the Elven Forest one.

I am ashamed that I learn from a foreign forum that my countrymen are making such cool terrain pieces. Thanks!

However, the offer is quite modest for now.

True. In Dungeons and Lasers they have more stuff with fantasy aesthetic:





They even has a new KS with a boat:

Dungeons & Lasers VII: Porthaven by Archon Studio - Gamefound



It could work, but it is noticeable it is aimed for D&D. That's why I prefer Rampart.

@LoisirsCanidé signifie peut-être qu'il n'y a pas de char dans l'ensemble de l'armée uniquement.

There seems to be quite a lot of Polish people making stuff for wargames these days! The local tabletop scene here in Wroclaw seems pretty active across a lot of different games.

I have my eye on Porthaven from now on. Really original and interesting project other than more ruins or strongholds of sorts.

It might be cool to have an "Other Manufacturers" thread for scenery and proxies from places that could be used for AoS, but aren't from Games workshop. Especially when it comes to scenery, 3d printing etc

They send over the EU without a problem at all. I don't know outside, but Black Magic Craft (from Canada) made a video when the KS was active or just ended.

Left hand side of the silhouette has a branch arm/hand and the drawing of the snowman shows it as young pine or juniper needles which it kinda looks like. Also seems to have a cold tone paint wise.

Excellent catch mate!!

As much as we’ve all hyped up Ogors on this thread, and it’s clear we want them real bad, the lack of a rumor monger endorsement has definitely kept me from getting too excited. I do wish we could get a more reliable wink-nudge than “HWG/Rob says it makes sense”, to add them to this list.

Unrelated to AoS- are the mechanicum knights a new independent rumor or a leftover from that wishlist/fake set last year that got really popular?

I really hope we get some solid rumours soon. They are the last range that has 95% of their models be holdovers from WHFB now that SBGL, COS, Seraphon and Skaven have been updated, my only fear isnt that they wont be refreshed rather when. I really dont want to wait another 3-6 years.

Yep. I tend to follow those 3D sculptors that I find out about and make stuff inspired by the AoS universe.

My top 3 are dark fantastic mills, 3dhexes and tiredworldstudio:

Dark Fantastic Mills — Kickstarter

3DHexes — Kickstarter

Tired World Studio — Kickstarter

I'm using some pieces form tabletop world altburg range and the quality Is very High for a reasonable price

https://tabletop-world.com/product-category/altburg-28-32mm-scale/

Maybe a bit low to the ground medieval/fantasy for AOS but they are very good on the right tablet

They have a kick starter ongoing with a farmstead, I'wondering how It would look with some squig in the chicken scoop
