I almost played devils advocate on this (not intentionally I assure you), but it has shifted to a faster moving meta, especially with how fast the meta is figured out with easier global communication, digital formats to play in, and gameplay becoming stale rapidly for the players who get games in daily. I am not the biggest fan of Contest of Generals because I do like a shake-up every now and then, and I do like the distortion to gameplay priotlrities that comes with some of the seasons of war rule packs, But... I don't get many games in these days and I have friends who play even less than me, and we feel a bit out of touch with the current pace of it.
Maybe with a new battletome, but without that, I wouldn't hold my breath. I am still going to sculpt one though!
On one hand, he is probably the killiest foot hero we have. On the other hand, that really isn't saying a lot at all. Come to think of it, outside of named characters are there any foot heroes from any faction that have an impactful combat profile? Besides maybe an Ironjawz Megaboss I can't think of much.
https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/12/28/whats-in-store-for-warhammer-age-of-sigmar-in-2023/ Praise the Old Ones. I can spot teases for a new Slann, Saurus Warrior and Cold Ones models.
There was a couple more but wasnt obviously to which faction they belong but these 2 if not seraphon I would be mind blown!!
The saurus looks like the others so maybe a hero or new unit/saurus. The bigger one looks like a raptor or terror bird sort of thing. Maybe a new cavalry unit to replace cold ones without getting rid of them? Not sure
murs a possibility but looking at the Kroak sprue I would be very surprised since it’s got bits all over the 3 sprue to make his body ….. unlike new sprue lately that are easy to use for multiple models… that would mean either a froth sprue with just the slann extra bits or a need kit all together?!? Possible i guess that much love our way?!! Also possible i guess time will tell!!! I guess a new battletome this summer too !!! It could be ours !!
Ok so new saurus, hopefully regular warriors and not just a hero. New slann. But culchans? aw I just wanted new cold ones.
Big ol pinch of salt on it. Not a cup mind you, but I'm going to hold out until we see something official. I have been bumping into a lot of variants of leak point/rule shifts for 40k and sigmar this last week and I don't know which to trust
That tracks! There was mention of a new sculpt for saurus warriors and a new magic based dino riding hero. Curious to see what it ends up being for the Dino Rider, but I am pretty confident that this is a new line of warriors for us! (Now, if only that romour of kroxigor resculpt would come true too!)
Looks like these rumour engine images are from that dinosaur riding hero. Good chance the ferns and spear come from it too, but that's just speculating.
