AoS NEW *rumor*

Maybe they have more to show us?

 

if they are just stalling because they are working on our stuff then i will retract all of my previous statements and give a public apology on every relevant thread. if not then GW deserves every bit of scorn we can throw at them

 

I'm still expecting plastic Kroxigors

 

What did we say about the hype guys? I love the unrelenting optimism!

 

They either announce us this week, or Seraphon in February rumours are fake!

 

... sigh... here's to another 6ish days till we MAYBE get something.

...I see they have another 40k: PA release upcoming. How many armies are left?! Remember watching GMG back when PA was first teased and how he [Ash] thought it was going to be an equivalent of endless spells in 40k. Boy was he off lol

they have at least 2 more books already announced: "saga of da beast" and "engine war" and there must be at least a bit more because stuff like necrons wouldn't be touched by them

 

I've stopped having expectations as i've been disappointed too many times. If it's not this week it will be the next, or maybe next month, who knows.

 

Saga of the Beast will undoubtedly be Space Wolves VS Orks, as Space Wolves love their Sagas

Which leaves Custodes, Death Guard, Harlequins, Inquisition and Necrons.

I've noticed that in the most recent White Dwarf there's an article of fluff concerning the possible return of Szarekh the Silent King (the Necrons' long-lost ruler), which will probably be the subject of the next Psychic Awakening supplement after Saga of the Beast and Machine War. It would be great if they did actually give him a miniature, and if they weren't going to bring him back, why would they dedicate the time to putting that article into White Dwarf?

Given that there are number of Inquisitor holomessages featured in that article, I wouldn't be surprised if the opposing side in that supplement was the Inquisition, as Inquisitors are sent to gather intel on this latest development and try to stop the Silent King before he unites the Necron race to eradicate all would-be usurpers!

That would then leave Custodes, Harlequins and Death Guard to enjoy a 3-way punch-up a-la The Greater Good, which might well give Harlequins a much-needed second release for some variety.

 

in any case they're going to drag this borefest for the rest of the year

 

I still think that febuary seems likely, as lumineth seem to be going up in spring. My guess is that we will see stuff this Sunday

 

Edit:

Others got to it before me

2 have been officially announced, Saga of the Beast with Orks and Wolves, and The demon/Knight one.

Assuming there will be a third with Necrons + the rest.

 

Lumineth got their moment again. I think we will be just a shadow update, sadly.

 

meh, some of their nonsense can be entertaining at times. Especially if you can avoid the vilest bits.

The models look neat but I can see them being a pain in the ass with those long spears.

Still hoping for some Seraphon love, but I'm curious if they'll be getting a deeper update later (like, 2-3 weeks later). Maybe coincide with another factions release?

 

I have to ask why you think so little of the Warcry-specific warbands.

I specifically ask because of my own experience as a Corvus Cabal player. Whilst they're a warband not at all suited to win a stand-up fight with most other warbands, and god forbid I play on another arena set-up with them, those aren't circumstances they should be in anyway. On top of that, they have among the best spear-wielding minions in Warcry (4 attacks at 2" range is more significant than most people realize, even at S3), and their abilities lend themselves well to playing a lot more vertically than most other warbands.

I've also seen scary things come out of Cypher Lords, who also excel at being a very mobile warband, albeit of the wuxia "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" variety.

It really comes down to how well the warband fits your playstyle. Corvus Cabal and Cypher Lords are both warbands that require a lot of finesse to be used effectively, in contrast to the brutes of the Iron Golems or the poison-loving Splintered Fang.

 

I'm personally just waiting to get paid before picking up the ogor cards. And depending on how the Seraphon ones are, I might just get them aswell.

 

I think I'll get the Seraphon cards just to show support. I might play with them, might not, but I don't mind having them.
