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 

You're right. I may have been too keen to see different warbands for each clue.

Time will tell (or if @Nighthaunt Noob can tell us more).

Back with more rumors from the underworlds. I'm not good with emojis so I'll provide some verbal teasers instead.

- already previously shared that of course rats and the golden boys will be facing off

- a character will be lugging his "potbelly" around

- rawr

- evil gimlis aren't the only "herald" of something new we'll see; in fact there is a "herald" tie in with two other coming warbands

There's a couple other things in the pipeline - 1 chaos, 1 destruction

my assumptions 

  • already previously shared that of course rats and the golden boys will be facing off
    • Stormcast--->Veritant warband? unless they're another hero model they expand upon like a lord terminos or maybe a legends one; Knight Herlador but that high unlikely so going with Veritant warband
    • Skaven---> Packmaster and his rat companion with one in his mini-doomwheel
      • Skaven Packmaster by Shivani11 on DeviantArt

 

  • a character will be lugging his "potbelly" around
    • Ogres-->Butcher warband or could be Son of Behemat---->single fat hill gargant subspecies and maybe a pet or two like Mollgog
      • Hill Giants | GM Binder

 

  • rawr
    • Seraphon?? Quetzl skinks with razordon?
    • the thing is that they usually circulate alliance and coming how we got Order i think it could also be Death in which i might be either a Ossiach construct warband (similar to the warcry) or Avengorii vampire warband

 

  • evil gimlis aren't the only "herald" of something new we'll see; in fact there is a "herald" tie in with two other coming warbands
    • So they're will be two warbands that will preview something to come. Interesting so Underworlds can actually be use for speculation for what exactly is being heralds and exactly is the herald. Could be like a city dwarf in a Cos Warband or Gitmob grot in a chaos dwarf warband

The packmaster makes sense. They fill another unit and will be released soon enough for WF Jr to know them. My question is... are they changing the UW format? Because if you release a Skavens unit that wasn't there in the main refresh, but then you cannot use it in AoS... it would be weird.

As happy as I am about “Evil Gimli” rumors for Underworlds, I’m gonna have to hold off on rumor-mongering today. My reason? I’m finally graduating from college. I’d like to thank all of you here on The Grand Alliance Community for offering me an escape when things got too crazy, and BY LONG LOST NEHEKHARA!!! I wish everyone here good fortune today.image.jpg.e3f1cc83ea419be45776536d831bbfdd.jpg

Now I'm hoping that the Brethren of The Bolt are actually heralds of new Devoted stuff.

I hoping for the usual stuff 

  • Kurnothi
  • Man eaters like Blackpowder’s Buccaneers
  • DOK design go more Morgwaeth’s Blade Coven then Gryselle’s Arenai
  • Clan Eshin
  • Von Cartine infantry
  • Grave guard

Don't they usually release rules for AOS whenever they reveal a UW warband regardless of when their battletome is realse?

So, Im going to guess the skaven warband can be either of these two things:

-Skryrre guys with the leader riding over the mini-doomwheel. Rest of the guys are rat-robots

-Moulder, 1-3 packmasters with rat wolves around. The packmasters using whips missing from the master moulder model

Also, worth considering Warcry with:

-A much well-beloved new Eshin infantry thing

-A Pestilens infantry kit (with censer bearers)

-Packmasters+rat wolves

All UW warbands are now legends. They will have AoS rules, yeah, but I was talking from a non legends POV.

Given the old UW warbands all got Legends'd, but the Skaven Warcom reveal article mentioned Thanquol and the 'Plague Pack' getting new releases - possibly meaning Skabbik's Plaguepack are getting repurposed into a generic Skaven Pestilens unit - I wonder if we might see the new UW warbands aimed at being added to AoS the same way Warcry has shifted its releases, moving from super-unique and specific groups into warbands who'll be able to translate over into a generic AoS unit instead.

Gitmob did get stuff for Underworlds at some point, and I seem to recall Whitefang talking about those?

At any rate, I hope GW won't pull another Horns of Hashut on us. I need to finally see my evil Dwarfs. 😭

Apart form that we have...

Doesn't anyone find it weird that keeping the game showing up in NOVA vague? like only announcing the game that presumably are getting roadmaps

i do think it's weird, i feel like they usually always tell us the games that will be present

heralds of Kurnoth andddd... Silent People?

New starter set Skaven vs Stormcast ( as usual)

no I think they mean both second waves of these faction releases since they aren't out yet? forgot about underworlds context sorry

They're separate clues. There are two warbands that have a connection to "herald" both literally and in terms of theme.

Herald of Hashut 

Herald of Malerion 

Solved ! 😉👍
