I am a bit lost with this Heralds thing. Are the Seraphon and Nurgle part of them?

Stormcast vs Skaven already reveal 

Three heralds that will indicate more stuff for said faction. It a subfaction that we seen very little of previously and i made a list of them a while and @Nighthaunt Noob said two was correct

1. Chaos dwarfs which i got correct
2.  Daughter of khaine (which wasn't in my list but someone else got it right)
3. The last we don't know and the candidates are
   1. Gitmob,
   2. Kurnothi
   3. Order of Azyr

Gitmob was never confirmed only people saying so cause of the army box is coming their way

other warbands are

• A warband that goes raw----> Seraphon 
• A warband that has a potbelly--->Nurgle
• A chaos warband 
• A destruction warband

Then we have:

Order
SCE
DoK
Seraphon

Death
Isn't it surprising the lack of death on the list?

Chaos
Skaven
Nurgle
Hashut
Unknown Chaos

Destruction
Unknown Destro

If I had to pick the third herald, between Order, Order and Destro, I would go for Destro, but it feels weird that all the grand alliances are more or less balanced apart from Death, which is.... death.

So, for Duardin players, Chaos Duardins are our only hope?

[Ejecutor]

Btw, a little but important detail:



This reminds me of all the talks about GW not wanting to drop exact timing on the roadmaps.

Ok. I'm looking back over @Nighthaunt Noob 's hints as they been correct so far. Interestingly they listed 9 warbands and said each hint was  for a different warband. The Potbelly is Nurgle. The rawr is Seraphon. One herald is DoK, one is Chaos Duardin and the last is either gitmob or Kurnothi. 

The last two were chaos and destruction. 

One could be Khorne Deamons, the other is a mystery- hopefully Ogors to tie in with a range refresh. 

Khorne daemons would be awesome. An alternative sculpt for a Bloodmaster and Bloodletters would be very interesting. Maybe they can introduce a new creature for Khorne daemons.

Magnificently disgusting ! @Nighthaunt Noob was right once again.

Can't wait to see what they done with Chorfs and other bands (Ogors ? Azyr ?).

They've officially done it. The flesh gripping the sides of the pot is too much for me. 

 

I'd like to point out I was trained as a medic for war zones. I've seen stuff. But nurgle is too gross even for me some times. (This isn't a complaint. Obviously tastes vary, I just can't look too close at that guy)

I'm surprised we haven't seen the new Red Gobbo yet as I heard that it's coming for pre-order November 2nd. The model is quite cool: Red Gobbo is throwing a snowball grenade, there's a snowman next to him and a little grot santa helper as well 😁

Seems we have one more warband than the current roadmap allows for (assuming one of the destruction/chaos warbands might be the herald). ...do we think we have such far reaching rumours as to hit the latter part of 2025 even '26?

Super curious about that third herald now. Unless I'm mistaken, and Nurgle was both pot belly and herald :).

Awwww geesh, that bloated mite on the back of his neck and all over his staff is actually making me a little anxious. good job GW, mites are a horribly underutilized creature for body horror.

The roadmap just shows the start of '25. Probably all those 9 warbands will be the '24 and '25 releases, considering we have 4/9 for '24. We could even have more for '25.

This one from Nurgle and the branch from the Gobbo 100%. Then we have some of them that could be resolved soon, such as the ones that look like Seraphon.
