Considering that Sigvald has a price with 69 in it I wonder if sometimes GW just has a dart board and throws darts at it for prices.

That said 5 flayed ones for £30 at least makes me feel better about 10 Witch Aelves for £30......

I'm going to keep it simple and go with Gnoblars.

Thats my final answer Alex.

Accodring to the "Grimdark Live!" channel:

-Dominion is the name of the box set.

-Destruction army is 100% not fimir, its a goblinoid army.

-Half-orc half-goblin very spindly type of body, kind of messed up looking. Smaller than orcs, larger than goblins.

-They are closely resembling the lotr type of orcs.

-Name that has been given to them is "The Cruel Boyz".

-There is a warboss riding some type of wolf-squig-pig type of creature (that is accurate, crazy looking creature).

-There is a unit called hobgobs (metallurgists, they trade with chaos dwarves).

-There is a shaman with a cauldron and a snotling (small grot) that's strirring it.

-AoS 3.0 is going to drop in July.

-Relative heavy activity (they don't know exactly what) between the dates June 19th and July 3rd, then July 17th and August 7th.

Interesting. I'll take hobgoblins (regardless of the AoS name) over fimir any day.

Depending on the look and the fluff, I'm intrigued.

Meh? We have various orcs, we have various goblins, let's make hybrids because we don't have enough greenskins yet. Sounds boring to me.

Some of it sounds plausible (july drop, shaman with a cauldron, army of greenskins) and some sounds either silly (cruel boyz) or unlikely (just calling them hobgobs when GW stopped calling any goblin "goblin" and goes by "grots" now)

Yeah I don't buy the names but they seem very sure on their source and it's possible names have been altered to protect that source. I'm not sure I find LoTR style orcs all that interesting in an AoS setting why go that route.

Goblin Sky Pirates
Skaven Sky Pirates
Vampire Pirates

All sound much more interesting than some half orcs but maybe they will look great.

here is a warboss riding some type of wolf-squig-pig type of creature (that is accurate, crazy looking creature)

Sounds like the new 40k orks to me

I like Hobgoblins but I'll love them if the get us Chaos Dwarves in plastic, as a full range, finally.

Even if the are called Hashut SmokeBelchers or some such...

I sooooo want this to be true.

If true, I hope "Cruel Boyz" is the name of the warband in the box, as opposed to the name of the entire race.

Still disappointed that it's not a more original idea than skinny grots.

More likely with total War/ The Old World project I think - but I guess its not impossible that they do some that would work in both AOS and the Old World

I dunno, it doesn't feel true, if only because 40k is getting an Ork update at the same time.

They can't be Orruk related, that image shows toenails and the Warcry unit doesn't have any toenails.

I honestly don't see how a faction being called Cruel boys(or more likely Krule Boyz) is any more improbable than a faction being called Gloomspite Gitz? And lets not forget some of the extremely on the nose unit names in that Battletome

Well I don't really mind if it is "hob"goblins as long those are cool.


Although I am not going to be happy if it just taller Night Goblins which ropes barely cover their legs.

It doesn't follow the holy adjectivenoun+noun format. it's just adjective+noun, clearly fake.

That sounds extremely plausible.

Huh. I mean, I guess it's better than half goblin half wolf things...?

Finally Plastic hobs! I hope its true, I've never been able to get any of the old models as they are always the ones that cost $$$ online.

Wonder what kind of units they'll have

Oh you KNOW it is

If it isn't I'd be shocked

Roll on Imperium part work. I can wait. I know how to wait.

Alas them being box of 5 was pretty obvious from kill team. Just surprised wasn't 32.5...

This is why i was amused when people went nuts over kill team price and said they wait for solo release. If you can't get at least one set cheaper with discount box then why you expect non-discount version be cheaper?

Oh you KNOW it is

I’m confused, where does Sigvald’s price have a 69 in it?

Maybe in some FLGS. Not un australia, new zealand, japan, canada, sweden, UK or any euro price that I checked.

Sigvald is £34.50 two Sigvalds are £69

He's £34.50. If you buy two of him, that's £69. Which is also what would inevitably happen if there were two of him and they met.

EDIT: Stupid sexy ninjas...

D’oh. I looked through a whole bunch of currencies as well

So... they put the new Wight King behind a paywall.

That was nice of 'em.
