What's the source on that one?

Same person on tga who correctly guessed the contents, release date and price of the kill team starter set. They also correctly predicted several other release dates.

Neat. New Seraphon one will be cool and a team in the style of Horticulux would be neat.

I can see lots of unsolved rumor engine pics fit in to nurgle garden daemons and also seraphon.

Thank god

The new article shows the Soms of Velmorn so I assume that’s GW acknowledging they’re a popular demand

I need them for the Cursed City Nemesis expansion (Wight king and grave guard) - they're some really good looking models.

Part of the upcoming Seraphon warband:

Wow! Looks pretty good, I like it.
Does the shield look like a new design, axe too?

Wonder what spawning this one is.

Well he looks great. Looks almost like a stealth redo of, what was his name, Gor-rok?

That is Gor-Rok in every way except the name (well we don't know the name yet)

It has the scarred eye, the club weapon, the shield with two talons at the end and is even painted like him.

Who was Gor-Rok?

And was he spawned alongside Gor-Roll?

Yes sir, I like it!

Down at the local spawning pool...

I dont think its any different than them making Vilitch a generic character and his updated model mirroring his old one

Using Underworlds to redesign/re-release resin characters in plastic seems like a great way to fold the units into AoS without requiring a new unit entry. I much prefer them being treated as alternate models for existing units than trying to shoehorn them in a team.

Except the Sunblood (which was the unit entry the Gor-Rok model was used for in AoS) was already cut in 3rd so would need a new unit entry now. It does however make it likely this warband could get AoS rules in the same way the Plaguepack and Stormcoven got.

Of course you can just use him as an Oldblood if thats what you meant

So that's why he's just called Curseling now? I was trying to find him on the store last night and Vilitch didn't come up. I don't play AOS, but wanted him for my Oldhammer army.

Oh so the rumoured pot belly was literal!

That book is a damn old rumour if memory serves. Looks cool though.

Im all for Underworlds providing whimsical and weird models, but this kind of anatomy is just disturbing. I cant wait to see him from behind.

Must be a potent brew - even the Nurgling is disgusted.

Freaky!

Seems like the rumours guy knew what he was talking about.
Hopefully he was also right about the Chaos Dwarves and Crone Witch Elves sets.

Sudden adendum about the cards

That's actually great. A rare GW win where cards are involved.

Could it be the first sign of GW perhaps moving toward longer term card support!

Community article on the new warbands. Even the saurus get cute pets!

The two saurus warriors are a bit underwhelming, though the dynamic pose of one is decent. The venomites(?) are fun though

I've got mixed feelings on the nurgle warband too. One-eyed, Potbelly, and the guy spreading maggot seeds is fun, and I do like nurgle fly daemons, but the sword bearer on the stump is just so plain

There’s something not quite right about the Plaguebearers. And I’m not sure if it’s a good “not quite right”.
