In the latest White Dwarf (March) someone asks why there are no Seraphon models showcased in the magazine, and the answer was to "watch this space" or something like that, I don't have the actual magazine with me but I'll check when I get a chance. Just adding more fuel to the fire.... I also want to believe!
The person asked about Beasts of Chaos and Seraphon. The response was: "[...]As for the Seraphon, their time will come! Meantime, why not hunt down the Malign Portents story `Dying Star' on our website." Link to Dying Star
I a as excited as the next skink, but I don't know how I feel about our future spawns being almost half mad. They are at the moment beasts with minds. They are obviously scary and beastly on a battlefield, but thats when they can unleash themselves. I don't want to have Necron Flayed Ones that are kept separate from all our forces and just kind of pointed towards our enemy. I want warriors who may not understand the overarching plan of the Slann but they understand why they fight and what theyre fighting against.
I will have to look that up tonight, that is surely proof that we have a release coming, but when ........
The story was a year ago, the article is this month. I've been to Warhammer world a few times and on one occasion I spoke to the manager about Seraphon and he said they work 6 months in advance in the factory so expecting something this year would not be a total surprise.
When I went to my local GW a few weeks back, I questioned when Seraphon will be updated, how it's planned everything will be brought up to date. He only mentioned Grand Alliances, avoiding the Seraphon question. Then not really expecting a hint from store managers. My biggest luck was when AoS first came out, went and saw the box contents at an Expo and I asked about possible individual kits from the set, he hinted it could be a thing, and it happened much later on. They are rather sneaky at their hints, makes you think but can't confirm.
Just reread Dying stars. Confirming Slaans dying and lizards becoming real again with spawning pool. They prepare to war !
So hopefully we get updated in summer We still have the Rumor Engine image too, who knows.... What has been de longer time took to resolve one of these images?
If Slaans die, i quit from AoS for good. No more sigmarine shit for me, i would go back to 8th or try the new T9A.
We might have answer this month, between Gama trade show next week and Adepticon in the end of march, both Having GW team presenation. We would fit well aside the Khorne update. Finger crossed
Lustria Online Members tirelessly work to decipher the omens pointing towards a Seraphon update (-1500IC, colourised)
I can't see the Slann being dropped, they have built our all army around it, I can see us getting a new Kroak but not Slann.
Our Faith tell us the truth. The Plan of the Old Ones will be revealed in all its majestic grandeur. And we will crush our foes.
