Are we at least getting that boat as terrain? Id be cool with that as well

If nothing else, does this mean you can use GW miniatures as aquarium decorations now?

You haven't been?

My Beta fish loves swimming around his sunken Alpha Legion Rhino.

I confess my first reaction to the video was "man-o-war remake in the AoS setting"

Fishmen actually become a thing after 20+ years of rumour and wishing?

I can hear the lamenting of SoB players even now

....did GW just troll the gak out of me?

Dreadfleet 2 confirmed!

I kinda wish it's Fishmen just to laugh at how absurd that would be xD

Appreciate it, red. I'm thinking this'll be the aquatic aelves, complete with some shipwreck terrain.

Could be seeing an expansion on the scourge privateers. I doubt we're seeing undead pirates when they just released Legions of Nagash but I suppose it's possible.

I'm thinking you're right on the money about this. Scourge Privateers are apparently now known for capturing rare and exotic beasts, rather than being slavers.

I think you got it, but still that vid had me laughing and scratching my head.

Scourge Privateers also have the advantage of already having several kits similar to the the other expanded factions. 3 units and a character. Add in that you could pretty easily shift the Hydra back to them and incorporate dark riders if they aren't put in DoK and the excellent potential for bolt throwers to be shifted back in and you've got a solid faction out of existing models that you can expand with 2-3 kits, 2-3 blister characters, and a monster of some sort.

You mean to tell me im getting Greek themed Aelves for my Greek Free-guild BUT NOW you tellin me I might get underwater monsters to use for my Kvaldir force?!

GW what are you doing to my wallet, I should literally set up a direct transfer from my payslip to GW now, they are relentless with these releases now.

Dread it.......Run from it.......The plastic still arrives.

I wouldn't be surprised at this point to see the Shadowblades get shifted into Scourge Privateers. The Dark Riders synergize so damn well with them.

They do have Bolt Throwers by the way, since they get the Scourgerunner Chariots.

We already have great fishmen...

They're just in DeepWars from Antimatter games.

If GW want to join in on the underwater action, I'm more than happy to let them join in the aquarium terrain- themed fun!

Temoulon, the guy that told us about custodes and TS in november and forewarned us about DoK, has this to say:

This is an actual piece of scenery GW is going to sell, and that will have its own rules like the Sylvaneth Wyldwood. It's part of the entire Sea Aelves new range, which are absolutely stunning visually, will have tons of sea creatures to ride, one of which is MASSIVE, and unique high cost heroes with crazy design. Also forget about the Cthullu look, their design is closer to bad-ass Atlantean Spartans.

I actually believe that is a scenery piece, the sculpting on it looks so. From the little twin tailed comets to what looks like mold lines. But why would a wrecked ship like that be planted on non underwater tables, not to mention sea monsters functioning out of water? Seems fishy to me...

Mon-keigh Island: The Board Game - Nasty Elfses Edition.

Can't be anything else.

That is some seriously interesting news. I love underwater nasties. Even more so when they're plastic kits!

Heh.

We see what you did there...

Any pics/screen caps for the workblocked?

Oh boy I'm glad no one has pics of the puzzled look that must have been all over my face when the Goldfish swam on

The wreck could work for a coastal or river themed board, and sea monsters crawling or wriggling onto dry land to attack land lubbers is not a new idea. The alternative would be to have them magically flying through the air as if it was water. Which could be either the stupidest or most amazing thing GW have done with AoS so far

Can someone explain to me this undead pirates. I don't know the Warhammer lore so not sure why people are excited.

All I can see is a Johnny Depp mini coming out.

In Fantasy there was a Vampire Count named Luthor Harkon who was shipwrecked in Lustria, he formed some Undead Pirates and sailed from an area of Lustria called the Vampire Coast.

I still have some doubt that the guys is a credible rumour monger, but that sounds ace

They're fishing for likes with these sort of videos.

Thank you very much. This sounds interesting. Looking forward to more.

I just hope GW wasn't trolling us since it's almost an ad on how it's cheaper to go to the pet store to buy our scenery than going through GW.

If this sea elves rumor does pan out, then they don't sound like the same faction(or factions) that the two Silver tower elves belong to. Looks like AoS is not going to be short of choice for fans of the pointy ears.

If they develop all the sub factions and add new content, that'd be amazing. Who knows, maybe they'll do just that.

Do you know what fish tank ornaments cost? They're often crazy expensive.

In addition to wait Victor said, during the Firestorm campaign, there was a Community article that gave Death armies the ability to deploy units from off-board (ala Deep Strike) that mentioned a spectral ship.
