AoS NEW *rumor*

Anything, but this. He was always about looking into the future, this is his signature ability.

 

I read on the seraphon subreddit that the upcoming battleforce box might be very limited?

 

I am trying hard to find this guy on the model, but without success thus far...


Will there be coming more Seraphon models...?


Grrr, Imrahil

 

Even more so, I am not able to connect any of the unsolved Rumour Engines 2020 or 2021 to this model...

Grrr, Imrahil

 

wait for the 360 view of kroak. my guess is the lizard is hiding on the back side

 

There’s been nothing to confirm that there will definitely be a Broken Realms Alarielle book.

I certainly hope there won’t be one because Alarielle is one of the worst characters in both Fantasy and AoS ever. She doesn’t deserve one.

 

She may not deserve one but the poor sylvaneth players certainly do

 

Not until us Fyreslayer fans get a Broken Realms: Ungrim, where Ungrim returns atop a huge Magmadroth as High King of the Fyreslayers and heads a big second wave of Fyreslayer units.

 

See now that you put it like that, there is gonna be a huge sylvaneth update.

 

New, rad, art seen in the Belakor article today.

 

That looks like Kroak incoming

 

oh man, im trying not to get hyped, but its really looking like kroak is coming to lay the smack down on belakor.

 

Channelling something into each of the realms? Or just holding gates to each?

I did NOT expect to be this excited for the broken realms narrative! We’re usually so sideline that a mere mention is enough to celebrate.

 

Yeah I mentioned this yesterday during the tidal wave of replies on this thread lol. I think there's a good chance of that rumor engine being another model for us. Or maybe the kroak kit is a dual kit for a normal slann and that lizard is on that somewhere. It wouldn't be that far of a stretch for there to be a second non-mummified slann body, no serpent banner on the top, and not attaching the floating rings to be able to build it as a normal slann

 

Right. I think I missed it in between the overflow of information and enthausiasm. Lol. Great idea! I hope it is true

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Honestly, the normal slann kinda needs a new kit if Kroak is going to be this fancy. Next to the new Kroak the current slann doesn't look any more impressive than a starseer. A small visual update to indicate he's more impressive than the starseer would be very good. And a dual kit would make sense.

 

I'd be surprised if the Slann gets a new model too. Here's why:

1- Usually, double kits, like Carnosaur/Troglodon uses almost all its parts and don't allow, unless you put a lot of greenstuff or cast the parts, for a second model. By the body of Kroak, you see that there should be a second body for a regular Slann, as Kroak is wrapped in vandages.. Since you theorically could build a Slann and print a throne or use bits for build one, I doubt that a 80-130€ box would allow you that. It's a miracle we can converse a Troglodon the way we can.

2. The base for Kroak seems too big than his current one. I'd say it's a 100 or 130mm round base, so the box should include two type of bases. Carnosaur box has this option, for a Oldblood on foot when you build the Trog.

3. Regular Slann should be way less ornated and we return to point one, a single box would let you build two kits.

4. Centerpieces like this (Archaon, Nagash...) are a unique kit.

 

I really feel like that little lizard is on the top of a Slann's head. It looks almost identical to one on the back of the current palanquin.

I also don't think Kroak will be locked behind Starborne, Coalesced or constellation keywords. The lore for Slann specifically mentions they were made by the power of the Old Ones and were therefore not shaped/influenced by realm energies.
