There is also the option of a slight pronunciation difference that seems to be all too common in GWs games. So instead of pronouncing the "i" as in "pig" pronounce it with an "e" sound as in "leg".

That's not going to matter to a whole boat load of idiot players out there. I knew a guy once who insisted that Wyches were pronounced with a long I sound, regardless of my having had many discussions about them with a friend who worked in the studio and who, in particular, worked with the development of Dark Eldar back when 3rd first hit the scene. GW can pronounce it as if it were "Negmos" all they want, if they spell it with an I, a lot of slack-jaws are going to pronounce it that way.

As for whether it's a "troll", you're new here, right?

Trolling us with fake rumors is a 'fine' tradition. Pretty much anyone with no history who posts is probably trolling us at this point.

Yeah I'm calling total bs on 2 levels.

First I think the wall of text is a liar pure and simple, or at best, has been lied to.



We can probably find a better way to express this alright ? Reds8n

He's the rumor tracker Dakka Dakka deserves, but not the one it needs right now.

So we'll hunt him.

Because he can take it.

Because he's not our rumor tracker.

He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector.

A dark knight.

There will be no Nigmos in my Warhamer Fan... er... Age of Sigmar games. I will refer to them as Orcs and "these guys over here."

Oh, please. This is a company that literally sells "Spear Chuckers" and Zulu parody models - having greenskins stand in as black Africans:



GW is a race-deaf company, has always been this way.


Yes, those are official GW Pygmy models there. You could paint them up and field them at any GW event, 100% legal.

Remember that time this thread was on topic?

Pepperidge Farm remembers...

I'm not calling bull, because I completely believe GW will change the force selection to allow for Unbound Fantasy armies. Of that I believe he his 100% correct.

I will say this is real, because otherwise I don't want to think of one person that is obviously a lunatic walking free through the streets.* Because that is what it would take to make up something like that, it goes way beyond 'troll'.


* Unless people in white-padded cells now have access to a laptop and wi-fi

Well, if 40k pancake edition has taught me anything, it's that people will go to *any* level to troll others, even by making rule sets superior to GW's!

However, I do have a sneaking suspicion that this will be closer to the reality of the game.

As for alienating WHFB veterans, why should GW care? It's the vets' faults they didn't sustain the game well enough, they weren't buying before so GW will make sure they buy NOW! That'll teach 'em.


At least I assume this is their mindset.

Just like making up a whole new ruleset and claiming it was 6th, just like that yeah, then some other magical people claiming it was a "test" set the design wanted to do "honest", people will go to any length to piss others off if they think it's funny.

My mind can't take in those rumours.. salt poisoning levels.. but if more female models did turn up.. especially Orcs, I'd be very willing to give it a try.

I want female turtle orcs laying mushroom eggs in triangular bases now!

I heard the new ed will be the same as 40k rules, everything moves 6.1 inches and the new world will have 6 factions all released exclusively and only 2 copies sold only on the Isle of Man, 1 per customer sadly, also the magic phase is replaced by rhw "pray and roll" phase on a d99 chart, using exclusive d15's made only by gw and again only 230000 available, in Australia only, for $450 each.

That's the level I hold the current rumours at.

In general so would I, the only reason I am giving it more than a second of my time is due to Hastings apparent comments.

Although he has noted a number of times he no longer has a vested interest in GW lines, so even with his comment, I still look at all and think, nah, no way.. GW can't be that desperate, that would obviously be a play for WoW and D&D fans.

Yeah, hastings has been getting more and more vague.

Hastings on Warseer:

"Quite a bit of that actually ties in to what I've heard, I wouldn't be so quick to poopoo it.

I find some of it a bit self conflicting - i.e. only skaven and exdwarves have guns - but then later on mentions goblins do too?

I wouldn't be too surprised to see a lot of this come to pass."

Oh man, I totally missed that Hastings hinted at a lot of it being true. Sounds even more likely, then... not sure if I'm excited or terrified

He was referring to SinaLeibniz's post here, right? Full url below:

Seriously dudes, it reads a lot like 'Of Gods and Mortals' combined with LotR and a little Fantasy. If he's making it up, it's not totally from scratch. And if this is how 9E is going to roll, then GeeDub isn't pulling these completely out of nowhere either - thankfully by all accounts OGAM is good fun?

So basically if 40k sales continue to drop, we are one marketing decision (because who needs the design studio) away from something like this.

Which honestly makes this sound more like a hostage situation than anything else. The End Times and the Age of Sigmar was just GW showing they were serious.

I was with you up until the point where Austrailia got exclusives.....besides price hikes that is.

Thought it odd that a Warhammer World layout mirroring our own was still being used in the new setting.

Edit. Made a mess of my first go.

It is odd that they would go back to using our planet as the model. The current (or old?) fantasy world is modeled of Earth as well.

Thanks for injecting a bit of perspective, Salvage! Very curious to see your take (and Red_Zeke's if he resurfaces for the new edition!) on the ruleset once it's more fully spoilered.

RiTides.. I just checked.. and yes, Hastings was responding to these rumours.

Scream of joy, or run for the hills.. only time (3ish wks) will decide.

What do you think Naggaroth was? Seriously, look at the maps, and it's clearly a distorted version of North America, just like you could look at the the rest of the WHFB map and see that they'd taken a map of the world and fiddled with it a bit.

I'm cynical enough to not find it remotely odd that they are low on supplies of originality.

When have they ever been original?

These new rumours have me a little anxious. I have an Empire army and if my Empire army can no longer use gunpowder weapons or state troopers I guess that leaves me with my huntsmen, wizards and Knights :/

I have a little pool of money and GW vouchers set aside for AoS, and I do want to get into it because I chose WHFB to be the game I play in GWs and I have had lots of fun doing just that with my Empire dudes.

I will be very sad if my army is shelved. I thought Humans were the safest bet...

Darnok has pretty much said that these rumours are fake. Thsnks god
