For sure, but I wonder if there could be Skyfarers in various factions, leading to those models having specific ways of functioning, like 40k flyers, leaving the battlefield only to return from a table edge. Likewise, maybe some abilities might target them specifically, say a lightning storm or something. Just conjecture, but I think it could be interesting.

They mention Grotbag Scuttlers a couple of times, pllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease let there be goblin pirates pleeeeaaaaaaaaaaaassse.

Also sad to say that artwork with the tentacles grabbing the Kharadron ships, they may just be tentacles of a Skykraken that they also keep mentioning. One of the ships also has limpets and barnacles on it.

Makes me hope one day we get a 'Storm of Magic' esque release with various beasties of the realms that we can dominate for our forces.

Also the fluff states the Ironclad is only the biggest machine that can be carried by one endrin. Apart from the sky-ports, the Kharadron have various inventions even bigger than the Ironclad and there are bound to be many secret patterns.
So who reckons there will be an eventual apocalypse expansion. Imagine seeing a Kharadron 'Khrundal-class battleship' or a Parasite Engine for the Skaven?

It certainly could. This is why I like the keyword system.

They just seem to be a common enemy for the Kharadron, not much else just snippets that they have to fight them off sometimes.

Skyfarer specifically refers to anything which can fly of its own accord. As we've seen they're the things which don't count as taking up transport space on the big flyers.

That, or to distinguish infantry from frigates. Though I'm hoping the former!

On the expected pricing- I'm guessing the infantry will be reasonable- £22.50-£25 for :
10 Arkanauts, 5 Grunstock thunderers and 3 Skyriggers.

The ships I think could be pricey- not really sure about price points for larger models but-
Gunboat- £30-35?
Frigate- £40-45?
Ironclad- £70-80?

Characters £14-18 with Brock at £25?
Depends how many they want to sell- I think they will go like hotcakes if the ships are cheaper and the infantry are at the Tzeentch release type price.

The 22,50 bracket for Arkanauts is what I hopw for. The small ships being that much would suck. At the 28£ level the gyrocopter has I'd rather get a discounted SC for a bit more - it's simply unreasonable, IMO. I can get a box of monstrous cav or infantry that are each just as big or bigger. And given how many you'd need to run themed as scouts or escorts for a bigger ship, ehhh

Regarding Skaven - my first army - while I have more Skyre and Pestilens stuff it's only because they refuse to satisfy my thirst for Moulder goodies. I love all things rotten and flamethrowers are always good (and a Warpfire Thrower was one of my first conversions, adding toxic sludge to the barrel mouth): Decent Rat Ogres and giant rats, a captured monster or two, maybe a few new gribblies like flying rats and I'd be over the moon. Especially with the way too sophisticated look new Skyre tech has. Especially armour.

PS: Goblin skypirates, imagine if they'd expand the Scuttlings before releasing those. That'd be like...like releasing Fyrslyrz before Overlords (that I always read as "Khadoran").

Now, don't you think we are starting to figure out a SC! for Kharadron Overlords too soon?

While its true every AoS big release got a SC!, we have still to see the full rules for them.

Also, I'm still waiting to see if there will be an Arcanite SC!.

Unless they combine the scuttlings with the pirates. Being part spider would do wonders with climbing around ship riggings and wielding multiple weapons. (since it's a chaos mutation then it would also let them survive some of the dangerous magic in the skies)

I'm wondering if the preorder is the 1st, doesn't White Dwarf hit stores the same day? In which case it wouldn't have the release dates in the magazine. The other alternative seems to be cards released weeks before the rest...

If I had one gripe with the background of AoS though, it was GW bringing the horned rat into the chaos pantheon. I always thought that the horned rat was nurgle in disguise. I'm probably wrong on that though.

But yeah, Kharadron Overlords! Remember that pic of a steampunky looking dwarf thing that we all thought would be a golem or something? Now we know it was a balloon!

When I get mine I'm doing it properly, and that includes giving the ships khazalid names. What's Khazalid for Queen Anne's Revenge?


GHR was a greater daemon of nurgle who rebelled, IIRC.

Also, it's worth of note that ONLY skaven view the GHR as one of The Four. The rest of chaos still considers slaanesh the fourth god, hence why the varanguard are still trained in the rites of slaanesh and why archaon bears the sigil of slaansh in his shield and not the GHR's.

The only info I could find was mostly conjecture about how Tzeentch created the guise of the Horned Rat, which manifested itself or some such. Later, Nurgle assumed a similar role in convincing Clan Pestilence that Nurgly-ways were what the GHR is all about.

But there is no solid evidence about his origins other than they are tied to the Skaven.

Well its hard to tell looking at similar kits as GW pricing is all over the place- it looks to be of a similar size to the gyro bomber, bigger than a land speeder, but the burning chariot of Tzeentch is £25 which might be equivalent. They might price them at £25 to sell more- it looks like they see them as being quite numerous in the force, like escorts. its just pretty hard to tell as GW pricing is all over the place in terms of size of kits but seems to be kept lower if they expect people to buy a lot.

Unfortunately, the mere fact of give information away to share opinions and create speculation about events to come is science at its most fundamental level.

Also, is just a link to see pics, its not like suddenly Lady Atia leaked some info on Klingon and I just posted the link without trying to give a translated idea.

I love science, it's truly interesting, and I enjoy browsing random scientific articles to learn new things. I know what science is. This is a forum thread that has the goal of collecting leaked images and information about future releases, not a thread that's trying to create something new in any way. It is a library, not a laboratory. Libraries carry books, not just links to where you can find books.

I do not like following links to get pics. It takes a tiny amount of time or effort to embed images on this thread, and standard procedure should be copy/pasting the article and images, along with a link to the source at the top or bottom. A random link is very easy to miss for the casual reader. For example, I scroll through these rumor threads looking for images and large quotes, because more often than not those contain useful information. Links are much easier to miss than copied articles.

I just a thought of nurgle and tzeentch having joint custody of the skaven. Think about it; the ratmen have qualities admired by both. With the dynamic that the two gods can't stand each other.
