Old Post:
New rumours on Warriors of Chaos by Harry over at Warseer:

NEW RUMOURS:

Release Date:
Coming in a number of waves.
First wave without the book. (WD update)
First wave (as predicted) November.
Next wave February/March.

Models:
Warshrine
Skull crushers
Hellstriders.
2 Finecast characters
One new one and one old favorite.

Too early to call bobbins on everything below ... lots of what has been rumoured could still appear in the book and in later waves.

Skullcrushers being something like Knights of Khorne riding Juggernaughts, Throgg not being in the first wave.

Added 4th October:

Hope Dark Angels can coincide with this.

Haha, same but funny that the first post about a fantasy update is about us 40k stuff.

Also hoping that Dark Angels don't get enough new models to fill a whole month

Hear, hear lol

At least the books not coming on the back of the CSm one for me, funds and all that

**H.B.M.C.**

Any idea if the Lord on Jugger is going Finecost?

Why wouldn't he? I'm sure it's a fairly popular model, as it's one of GW's best.

So if this is true then Tastytaste was right about Stickmonkey being wrong. No surprise there

I'm looking forward to seeing the new models though; skullcrushers sound cool if they're basically Juggernauts with WoC on them.

**4oursword**

I second the new crushers. Mortals on giant evil mech-bulls sounds good to me.

**silent25**

Hope the riders and mounts for both plastic kits are new. Will be poor on GW's part if the kits are just riders from the Chaos Knight kit mixed with Blood Crusher mounts. Same goes for the Slaanesh Steed Riders. Hoping for some unique Slaanesh flavored marauders.

**Janthkin**

WAY off-topic posts deleted, and various warnings issued. If you can't stay on-topic, you don't need to post.

**catharsix**

Also excited about the Skullcrushers. And interested in the Warshrine - is it going to be like the Empire warshrine-thingy that was released recently? (Or do we even know anything about that yet?)

So soon on the heels of an underwhelming release for CSM, I'm hoping this stuff makes for good conversion fodder. I've always liked using the WoC stuff for that purpose.

Yes, it'll be exactly the same kit, but with an additional sprue of spiky parts

Pretre - do not add to rumour tracking

**thenoobbomb**

Awsome.
And it sucks too.
I need to buy wavy to many stuff :(

Lol. I love that this is the new post-script to silly remarks.

@ Harry, I'm just about to grass you up for your false nurgle specific big daemon kit.... soulgrinder indeed FALSE! Lol

Harry wrote:Noooooo !

They may hate you on Warseer, pretre, but it works anyway

Oh, and H.B.M.C.: Does this wave answer your question about the rumour of GW not making waves anymore?

**Alpharius**

They hate Pretre on Warseer?

Really?

**RiTides**

I think that's a reference to his rumor accuracy tracking thread. Accountability is a good thing, imo, although I know a lot of these rumor mongerers don't always have specifics. But it helps to weed out the fake rumorers!

Generic Chaos Lord (Plastic) (wounder if he is mounted?)

Not mounted (does that count as a seperate rumour?)

Harry wrote:No

Don't get too excited for the dragon ogres, I hear they're not great, an older sculpt that wasn't released last time round so I'm told.
Rules aren't my thing so I couldn't comment, actuall book (and more models) not out till next year.

On Dragon Ogres:

75hastings69 wrote:They're in the unoriginal rearing on back legs pose that is by numbers for GW, IIRC Alex Hedstrom did them.
I'm disliking stuff more often as the quality & imagination of recent releases has been more and more lacking.

I wonder if the sculpting department was made aware that ogres and dragon-ogres are unrelated. I guess we can find out soon.

I don't think so, almost armoured ogre torso with centauriod dragon lower half, nothing like the wonderful shaggoth.
they are indeed plastic........ and not very good.

Freenut wrote:A bit of news. U.S. Thrown of Skulls is in Memephis. Tn. this weekend. On Fri. there was a tour of the production facilities. Serveral people reported seeing boxes of chaos knight mounted on juggernughts. 3 to a box.

It shouldn't be that much of a surprise.... I did say they were coming
(...)
yes there are models coming out that cheer me up...... pretty much all the models coming out for hell dorado (especially Ashoka)

.... as for GW....

...the plastic demonic nurgle flies with plagubearers riding them are nice too ....... They're not out for a while yet though

**The Shadow**

So, GW is releasing more of these WD-codexes. Not sure what I think about this, one the one hand it's an excuse for GW not to release codexes/army books as quickly, which they surely need to do but then one could argue that this would mean GW can at least do updates more often, even if they're smaller. Hmm...

The Skullcrusher things sound awesome as well. I won't be buying any (finances and all) but it's nice to know there'll be more cool stuff in the world

**Alpharius**

MIGHTLY upset at the rumor that the plastic Dragon Ogres are sub-par.

It will never cease to amaze me what passes for QC/Artistic Signoffs at GW.

You know, if this is true...

Yes, it would be a shame. All they had to do was pull off a mini-Shaggoth. Will wait and see though...

Not a full army book. I expect one February or March with another WoC wave.

**Erasoketa**

I am pleased with the idea of plastic Dragon Ogres (and a plastic chariot and plastic Warriors riding Juggers too), I hope they won't be that ugly.

**Daston**

All I ask for is better looking marauders and possibly a god specific champion sprew with the warriors

**Vermillion**

Really not liking the WD update stuff. Years ago (1998 and before) sure could have stomached shelling out for it. Now however... Plus they want paid for digital copies and insist you have an apple product. No thanks...

If they did this stuff as a free booklet and there will be a PDF of it on their site to tide people over who frankly have the sense not to buy the advertisment then I'd say they were heading in the correct direction.

Saddened the Dragon ogres are rumouredd to look bad, hoping they are good enough, and looking forward to a warshrine/chariot kit with any luck.

Anyone dropped clues about any rules being changed in the update (eg: Marks) or another just units tweaked/nerfed/added thing?

**Sasori**

Oh, and H.B.M.C.: Does this wave answer your question about the rumour of GW not making waves anymore?

It looks to me what they are doing now, is releasing a WD "Wave" ahead of the Codex release, so that when they release the codex they can hit it with the rest of the models. This makes a lot of sense, as it gets two separate waves out there, and cuts out the gap that we are used to seeing, so that 3rd parties could make things like the Tervigon kit.
