I wouldn't mind getting some beasts of destruction - in 40k beasts aren't tied exclusively to chaos anymore either, so I would not mind that much honestly, they could also just want to destroy chaos altogether now, since literally every chaos God turned against them (problem is, they still impersonate chaos itself so that's quite a stretch and a retcon, but hey, it's GW). A herald of the Kurnothi? Belthanos already represents Kurnous and is his herald. Unlikely, but one can dream, right? A herald of Malerion? This would be cool! I am personally not planning to start an Umbraneth army, but would enjoy seeing all the Dark Elves player and everyone else rejoice about finally getting their Dark Elves. But, hey, we're not in 2035.... Or 2050? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ejecutor Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 9 hours ago, Sarouan said: Not really. They can still announce it next week in the "previews to the preview". And if not, that will incite people to go watch it just in case. After all, if you say which game will have news, it's obvious people who aren't interested by these games will simply skip it. GW is constantly adapting depending on what worked and what didn't in their past shows. Yeah, if you don't know what they will show, and they mentioned roadmaps, they will have more audience.

The Lost Sigmarite Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 23 hours ago, Neil Arthur Hotep said: Luminark and Griffin are both looking pretty safe for Cities. The Luminark is not in Old World at all. There are only rules for the War Altar of Sigmar, which exists as a variant/upgrade to the Luminark kit, but has also been its own kit in the past. And if you think this kind of thing matters, both Luminarks and Hurricanums have played a role in the AoS narrative/world building and have been featured in the art. The Griffin recently lost the option to be run as double-headed in TOW. This might indicate that long-term, they are planning to re-release an older Griffin kit and keep Karl Franz and Deathclaw in AoS. More broadly, both of these kits were introduced in 8th ed, which I kind of suspect means they are internally treated as AoS kits. It is certainly the case for other units like Blight Kings, Nagash, the Verminlord etc. We have seen some 8th ed kits leave the AoS range already (e.g. Demigryphs), but I think the fact that the Hurricanum and Griffin have stuck with us for so long through several waves of discontinuation means they are with us for the long haul. Of the leftover empire kits, I personally only see Flagellants and the Steam Tank as due for an update. The Battlemage kit is a maybe. It doesn't really need an update, as the different magical weirdos it can build are definitely a close enough fit for the AoS setting to stick around. This seems weird because the griffin is full of Empire iconography. Same for the luminark. I own an hurricanum and tbf, the horses pulling it look like ponies compared to the new CoS cavaliers horses. I could see them get an upgrade sprue to integrate them further in the CoS range, that would be nice. Seems unlikely but not imossible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think GW are doing upgrade sprues for AoS, so personally I think they will either stay or be replaced. As I said before, I am leaning towards these kits just staying with us for at least the span of 4th ed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrac Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Now, come on, adults are talking: isnt there anyone with a crystal ball that could tell us about the future of Warcry? As anyone following this forum might know, Im excited to see new Eshin infantry that relegates the monkeys to oblivion, but I just realised the current theme being "woods and things" if theres a skaven band kt could also be a "Rat Wolves + packmasters" team. Or perhaps the UW team is composed of rat wolves???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a bit of a shame because the KT upgrade sprues they've done for 40k are imo a great idea. Upgrade sprues in general seem to be liked by everyone. For example, Victrix is starting to do some after massive customer request - I don't see why GW is so shy about it in AoS. They do it all the time in 40k/30k. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it’s could be : New starter set Skaven vs Stormcast ( as usual) Ogre warband ( potbelly) Slaanesh warband ( rawr) Chorfs warband ( evil gimlis) Herald new faction warband (???) Chaos warband Destruction warband So 8 warbands in total 👍 I see the Rawr as a Dinosaur sound or animal sound of some sort. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, who am I kidding. Id buy anyways. But yes, if I had to choose, Id prefer Warcry. Just remember: they make excellent proxies in place of the [x]runners, especially if they're added to legends, no more unit confusion!

GW AoS kits are fantastic, but imo the diversity of command figures is lacking. Certainly if you want to have that unit 2 or more times in your army. If Victrix has the money for it, than GW surely.

The new Skaven clanrats have two completely different sets of command figures with several head options for the leaders. I hope they do this more.

Ejecutor Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 I wonder if all those details from @Nighthaunt Noob are what we are going to see for UWs roadmap. It could fit perfectly. They show us the new dual box and the roadmap containing hints of the different factions and the last two Chaos and Destro without more specification.

I'll be overjoyed if they resemble how they look in that White Dwarf article. They're probably up there alongside Malerions faction as a faction I really want to see come to the game, maybe even more so than Malerions faction because of how unique the Silent People would be. Fingers crossed this second herald warband is for them, failing that I would still be fairly happy if it was something for Malerion. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn’t specifically say that there other herald’s weren’t part of a different warband to other mentioned ones. It could be that the Ogor one or Rawr one is hinting at something new coming to those factions rather than adapting warbands from already known elements Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
