Seems really weird, why would GW make an exception now? Even warriors of chaos are going to take 2 weeks, and half of their stuff was on the webstore not long ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyrus Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 WHAT IF : the upcoming mysterious narrative book will be placed in Ghur , exploring the aftermath of the end of the era of the beast , in the same manner Pariah Nexus was back to " 9th edition" narrative settings ? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on when it is launched it could be tied to Warclans rather than S2D... so it is feasible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally i wouldn't want to go back to a prior edition story arc as the starting campaign for the new edition. That like something you do for like book 2 or 4 to give it a proper ending. 40k currently is just jumble runt of narrative due them throwing the "apocalyptic imperium ending" fourth tyrannic war then just back to the Pariah nexus again beacuse they never finished that storyline and had a bunch of reused assets to promote, then sideline the whole necron plot to reintroduce Vashtorr and now it all about this backwater sector dealing with vespids and orks. They lost the plot and there not connections nor impact in the tyrannic war One thing also understand the reason for 40k runt in the lore progression is due to not having a head narrative director or whatever the name of that position.

No way. A game as big as 40k doesn't have a narrative lead but AoS does? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year it has been: -Sunday preview -Preorders start one week later, saturday -Actual release date two weeks later, saturday So the skaven release should fall on the 21rst of september.

To be honest, I haven't brought a new release from GW for ages (I'm just waiting until Chorfs come out) so I completely forgot about it.

Eldarion79 Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 (edited) Season of War - Thondia were introduced as a Narrative book. I don't expect more than the same thing. Edited September 3 by Eldarion79 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not the first one we had in AoS either. The main difference between the one coming and Season of War Thondia is that Thondai was part of a trilogy and the upcoming one is supposed to be stand-alone.

The Rumour Engine – 3rd of September - Warhammer Community (warhammer-community.com) And hobgrot handband thing! Maybe this confirms that hobgrots will be multi-faction units? Or we are getting separate Chorf hobgrots with the same aesthetics. Or these are for Warclans. I'm hoping for option 1.

Chikout Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Hobgrots is a possibility but the serrated edge is different from the ones we currently have. I feel like I've seen that exact kind of sword before. The wristband is similar to the hobgrots ones but it looks rougher. Finally shading on the flesh looks human rather than grot, though that might just be the black and white effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
