The Rumour Thread


Recommended Posts

Okay, so in the Skaventide book, there is a character that is called Clawlord Reekbite. He is a heavily armoured Skaven warlord with one green eye who goes into battle on a palanquin carried by Rat Ogors. He's treated like he's an important deal and a point is made that he didn't die so I'm wandering if he's supposed to be the named Clawlord character we've heard rumors about. 

So it’s time to update the list of upcoming Skaven second wave according to SGWarhound:

1) Master Moulder.
2) Arch Warlock.
3) New Warlock (Galvaneer with warpvolt obliterators) (Leaked one).
4) Stormvermin.
5) Weaponteams.
6) Skyre Acolytes (former globadiers).
7) New Verminlord ( Vizzik ).
8 ) New Behemoth (Moulder monstrosity)= Brood Terror.
9) Wolfrats.

10) Clawlord on palanquin carried by rat ogors 🐁 🐀

I just saw that my LFGS had a copy of Skaventide split up on their webshop.

25 Euro for the Core Book and General's Handbook cards is probably the best deal I've ever gotten for anything Warhammer related :D

Wow. Same price as many second-hand sellers over here. Even less than in some cases.

I paid a little more than probably needed due to shipping, but by Sigmar are the corebook and F&J some of the most impressive books I've bought yet

I know nothing is confirmed as of yet, but the priority on the verminlords should be doing variants for Skyrre and Moulder. Vizzik isn't that much of a spetial deal, he's a regular Verminlord Warpseer.

If Left Claw was really Vizzik there also wouldn't be any point on hiding him. I mean, GW did reveal the new tyranid monsters on the lore before the actual mini release, so why hide it? Because it's a new mini, and a new character to the AoS lore.

Btw, just had a play of spearhead yesterday! Lost 12-15 but had a lot of fun. Really, the game feels very good to play. And there's a narrative campaign on my LGS, so, it looks like, to my surprise, and until GW fixes how utterly boring are the rats on TOW, Im hooked to 4th.

It's this at all confirmed, or is it just rumours? To be clear it looks great, so I'm going it's true. I'm particularly I'd love a new Verminlord as I don't like the existing sculpts (they're of that era of over the top sculpts from the end of WHFB that I just don't like), but I do like the idea of them.

Also new Arch Warlock! Yes please.

Most of this comes from the posts that @SG Warhound gave us. He has proven himself to be a proper rumour monger, so this would be mostly accurate 100%.

Nice. That's a decent chunk of Skaven stuff coming. Shame that there aren't any Pestilens or Eshin releases, but I guess that makes them obvious shoe-ins for future releases.

I think it is more than decent : 10 new kits in addition to the ones of Skaventide is massive ! 😉
 

Clan pestilens and eshin for now have two very cool underworlds war bands plus new assassin from 3th edition bt.

 

So there is not “ no AoS preview” this weekend ? 😉

So a more general preview with all game systems will be at Nova around 28th of August.

GenCon's historically been the skirmish/Specialist Games, though I believe they've skipped some years.

The current Underworlds season hasn't had anything since Wintermaw at the end of March right? May just be that something's gone awry behind the scenes, but I know people have been cynical about Underworld's chances for a while.

Briar & Bone is still lost in the the Warp, though it's never stopped them revealing new stuff for games before. 

The Darktide Board Game just released and those don't tend to happen often.

There's not been any rumours of another Warhammer Quest iirc. 

I guess that would have just left Kill Team '24?

The initial Helcrown results are in and... it's not looking good for us Order folks.

Quote

Matters are indeed dire, the Skaven have been prowling the slime-coated shacks of the Scabs in search of a grotesque prize: corpses of mutated Parch Whales whose innards are aglow with the sickly light of warpstone.

In the Gilder District, high society has rapidly converted to worshipping a new deity known as Good King Gnaw. In service to their new patron, the cult has undermined the Stormcast Eternals, though the screeching horde pays little respect to their treachery.

Outside the city, the forces of Ruin are in the ascendent, as the unclean energies emanating from the Gnaw expand the Lands Anathema. The Skaven scuttle ships and devastate ports, cutting the city off from seaborne support.

I really really really wish they did not tie such a big lore competition to seeing the winner's models first. Narratively it would be far more fun for Hel Crown to stay Order, but obviously fans are going to want to see all the new Skaven models before the posterfaction.

Even when we already know most of them, have some of them leaked and meanwhile we are blind at Stormcasts... but I think the lore could be resolved as rather than loosing the city, just get it destroyed or not, but order still ruling over it.

I don’t even think it’s model related, I think people are voting for Skaven as a de facto way to troll stormcast. “A vote for order is a vote for the faction that already gets more previews and releases than anyone else.”
