    Probably something to do with how sailing ships' rigging, especially ratlines, have a distinctive spider web appearance to the uninitiated.

    Something tells me we can expect nets of some kind.

    I thought that thing was supposed to be a pirate until I noticed the tiny spiders on his cloak... how small are those things that is going to be hard to paint!

    again no solutions to any of the Rumour Engines still open.
    Although I feel like some are connected to this Warband.

    Grrr, Imrahil

    eh really? That's a common association people have with ships' rigging?

    Thinking of one of the recent rumor engines that could be Nighthaunts, what about Ghost Pirates for this season of Underworlds? That might be a fun nod to things like classic ghost tales and even Pirates of the Caribbean.

    Or, maybe a multi-faction pirate warband, with the "rag-tag group of misfits" kind of feel? GW could even spoof Guardians of the Galaxy (for a relatively current reference); Human captain, elf/dark elf/vampire duelist, ork fighter, skaven engineer, syvlaneth bruiser. ;)

    Not really, but it's also not hard to see how someone could come to make that association. Alternatively, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if someone decided to run with the idea.
    I can just hear some Kharadron Overlord look them over and go, "What a bunch of A-holes..." :D

    On the other hand, that'd make for one hell of a Soulbound or WFRP campaign too.

    But the fact they are kept alive in Blood Bowl gives a spark of hope for new or updated units in AoS or ToW.

    Grrr, Imrahil

    In just about half a day we are going to get what's going to possibly be the last batch of big reveals for the year from our tyrant overlords at GW.

    Here you have some timezones, so you can watch it live via Twitch and Warhammer-Community.com
