Auspicious Aspiring Champion of Chaos






Thus far, all three champions have been from faction who previously existed, but haven't received a battletome. Death is a Nighthaunt, Chaos is a Slave to Darkness, and now we know Destruction is a Moonclan Grot. Based on this, would assume the Order champion will likely be from Free Peoples, Wanderers, Dispossessed, Darkling Covens, or Swifthawk Agents.

Of those, I would say the most likely would be one of the Elf factions since they haven't gotten a release yet, we have someone on tg (who was right about the grot) saying so, and this would be a good opportunity to entice some Elf players back to the game. If we also assume that the teaser at the bottom of the article is the order champion (that's really just speculation, but it makes sense to me), then I feel confident that it will be a new Wanderers hero.

Goblin looks cool. Maybe all my Fighting Fungi can come hang out with him?

Present first made me think Orc, not really sure why either- maybe its their love of sticking horns on helmets and whatnot, but Nurgle is probably the better choice.

I like that it’s fungoid, just wish it wasn’t also a goblin, the nose and chin really kill it for me.

Tomorrow is most likely more nurgle
The upside if it is nurgle, hopefully this means they can finally “wrap” up their releases and move on to another chaos faction ffs, enough is enough already

The horns on that wrapped-up thing just scream 'Nurgle' to me. Probably a reveal for the coming Nurgle release that has been rumoured about for a while.

Fungoid shaman is cool. Presebt definitely looks Nurgle to me, the horns are a Nurgle style and the figure is very thick, much more so than almost any other faction would be.

Awesome!

I’ve got a ton of Moon Clan mini’s including the full spread of FW Monsters/Characters that I never did anything with in 8th edition WHFB. Might have to get that project back up in running.

Unless the forthcoming Champ is Nurgle, in which case, my large Rotbringer force is going to get some touching up and I’ll focus on them again.

Interesting - that bug on the staff looks very much like a Sylvaneth Bittergrub - very interesting. IN fact with the Sycthe its very much like a goblin Branchwych

If anything it shows that they lack creativity to come up with other things. The threshers are a common and over used element, I agree.

Y'know, a fungoid- focused grot subfaction that could ally with the Sylvaneth would be kinda neat.

Big squigs, squig swarms, squig cavalry, mushroom infested grot corpses...

Heck, goblins have always been pretty in tune with nature, haven't they?

Gathering the Informations.

The thing on the Fungoid is dead and has larger eyes than the Sylvaneth's.

The Sylvaneth's bug is also supposed to be a Spite-ish spirit creature rather than a physical creature.

That good for nothing geedubs... Back in my day we had creativity. Now that there are two scythes on the models released with a two year gap, it's safe to say: creativity is dead.


As an all gobbo FB player, I love the mini.
I will use him as my general.. Will have to derank the Avatars of War gobbo, sadly.

By the way, did this solve any puzzles?

A scythe isn't a sickle! The blade is totally different!

Try google, straight or curved they are shown to be synonymous.

The video is glorious. And the models are ace too... Personally I'm most interested in the Blight Tree thingy... I wonder whether this is scenery or a new monster type.
