Monster grots!

**Geifer**

Yeah, I think Sigmarines and Kruleboyz are getting the same marketing strategy here. Launch box miniatures as an easy buy in to get a core for the armies into people's hands, impressive monsters and war machines as eye catchers to add to that and then the model release around the battletome to fill in any gaps and round off the factions (for now). I think it's a bit premature to judge the appearance of the starter box armies until their battletomes are out.

**NAVARRO**

Im expecting a massive feline creature to go with my Dracoline army!

I’m hoping for some new Ironjawz in the new Orruk Warclans book!

I would prefer this

. Right now I have plenty of points of Brutes, Ironjawz and some printed idols of Gork. While I just bought Dominion, I’m not a fan of the Kruleboyz, so if I can trade/sell them off to get some Ironjawz who have learned how to do some ranged attacks on their own, I would be really happy.

I hope any Dragon species that gets released look more intimidating thN the Stormcast Stardrake McDonalds toy.

A human Empire with dragons could be cool though

If it’s mostly an aesthetic thing, one could always convert up Ardboyz to be equivalent units. Same stats, same rough dimensions, just a different aesthetic.

'Stunning New Warhammer Age of Sigmar Scenery Captures the Dangers of the Dawnbringer Crusades' on Warhammer Community:

As often as not, Dawnbringer Crusades are missions of reclamation rather than discovery. Sites of ancient strongholds from the Age of Myth lay strewn across the Mortal Realms, and powerful geomantic forces converge at these ruins. This is where the foundations of new Dawnbringer settlements are laid.

You can see evidence of these ancient cities in the scenery itself – the pillars on which the nexus syphon stands have been built to different heights to accommodate the ruins upon which the artefact is perched.

**DaveC**

At least the Syphon will be available in other sets from the wording. I still expect a Vertigus type set and that might have a unique terrain piece.

**Overread**

AoS 1.0/2.0 ruins
AoS 3.0 rebuilt ruins
AoS 4.0 - we might actually get some buildings that aren't a ruin!

It's kinda crazy to think that Old World had a lot of build structures, but we've lost pretty much all of them in favour of ruins over the course of AoS. It would be neat to have some solid structures that aren't crumbling or half crumbling.

You know what? You're right. AoS is already a saturday morning cartoon compared to 40K and so they might as well give us a Castle Grayskull for our Stormcasts and Snake Mountain for Kruleboyz.

**Cronch**

No game with Abbadon should compare other settings with saturday morning cartoons.

**ListenToMeWarriors**

True, apart from the Chaos Fortress have they released many whole buildings for AOS? I have no idea how well that sold either, but SamusDrake has me wanting a Kruleboyz Snake Mountain now!

So...a revamped Mighty Fortress and a AOS version of the Ork stockage from GorkaMorka.

I would be interested in a Stormcast (or Slaanesh) fortress...

**Da Boss**

Saturday morning cartoons are awesome.

AoS1 had that gigantic Chaos castle though right? The Dreadhold? It's only the good guy's stuff that's ruined.

I find most of the AoS terrain pretty awful though. The stuff like the Lizardman temple when compared to the old plastic houses really disappoint.

That would cost a bloody fortune and then some.

I want hammer throwers. Not like carpentry hammers, but the iron balls on chains you whirl around and throw. That kind of hefty show of strength would be fitting for them I think.

**H.B.M.C.**

Looking at the Syphon... it's not easily identifiable as a race-specific piece of terrain. It's not covered in twin-tailed comets. Yeah... a couple of those dirtied up and covered in this stuff will work perfectly on my Eldar/Death World terrain.

Let us hope so.

Or a fast option of throwing Grots/Squigs at the opponent, One of those Mantic KoW ideas that is just fun. Ties up the opponent trying not to get eaten while the rest of the army advances to smash people into paste.

That sounds like the Squig Gobba from Forge World.

Yeah, look AOS is defiantly very super hero-y. No argument. But 40K is so laughable these days that I can't even bring myself to care about 40K lore in general.

"In the grim darkness of the 41st....Abbadon has destroyed Cadia....but all is not as it seems. Instead of fear, Cadia's destruction has made the IOM stronger than it was before, united in Hatred of Abbadon! Take that you Traitor!"

Or, y'know, a Doom Diver. Greenskins having themselves lobbed at the enemy has been a Warhammer thing way longer than Knock Off King Mantic has existed.

**Manfred von Drakken**

I remember writing rules for putting a Doom Diver on a trukk for Gorkamorka. If the grot was fired at a vehicle and survived the landing, he counted as charging.

Greenskins are fun.

**streetsamurai**

Agreed with the others that it seems to be lacking some regulars orcs. Would have like to see some cavalry instead of one of these monsters

**CMLR**

Did anyone else noted that Gobsprakk has his own Pot Grot in the back of the seat?

The hand on his staff makes me wonder if its from a troll or something else, because they only have four fingers per hand...

It's from a Lord of Change

So great is Gobsprakk’s magical might that the crotchety shaman has bested many sorcerers in the past, including a great Lord of Change.

Castle Greyskull you say?

Oh wait, there is already one. Just not for AoS. It's funny how every time people complain about AoS, 9 out of 10 times it's wrong but it applies to WHF 10x more

The Skullvane Manse was slightly reworked and released for Age of Sigmar as the Warscryer Citadel during the Malign Portents event.
