Named Marshal (hates DoK)

Ooh, with that level of specificity *if true* I wonder/hope if a) there is a DoK hero to play as, and b) there are interparty relationships (at a generic faction-level, of course, to allow for additions down the line) which have a mechanical impact of level of support, assistance, or downright party abilities able to be offered between the characters... which could make for some really interesting situations!

Helsmith lore just dropped on WarCom. Do we think the pre-order will be announced this weekend?

Maybe this weekend or the next, is my guess.

#HashutDidNothingWrong

Oh, the glimpse of what looks to be a Fyreslayer is a welcome surprise. A long overdue wave 2 for them would be ideal, but it'll probably be another hero on foot

I guess I can ease some of my cynicism from the previous pages leaks from TGA.

Also, I'm sure there's no one-sided propaganda or any events missing important context in that Hashut Lore article! Why would Hashut lie?!

I don't think they need a wave two as such, but they do need their base troops to be redone to be more in line with the Warcry warband. Which this teaser seems to imply thankfully.

Weird, i thought what you guys are saying is OBR was dark aelf

Also Nurgle isn't in a bad spot right now - it would be a tiny bit of a surprise to see GW go for them. At the same time though Nurgle clearly must sell well cause in 40K and AoS they generally do well wtih releases

GW loves Nurgle best - it shows in the rules.

Same poster on TGA that posted the above Ogor rumors also posted:

Festus(Monster, so fxxking huge)

Not sure I’m buying any of it, but I’m cynical of any rumor that doesn’t include pics.

I'm honestly astounded this hadn't happened yet. Festus ascended during the End Times.

The Hashut background was excellent but still would have loved it more in TOW.

yeah, after looking forward to CD in AoS for so long, I find myself strangely disappointed by whats coming, and would rather they had given me Legion of Azgorh in TOW.

I feel the same about the beastmen. Shame they got relegated back there to suffer.

I'm afraid I missed something, are they making Hashut and Ogors for WarCry?

Ogors had the Gorgers for Warcry, will get an updated generic list, and Hashut has been confirmed as getting WarCry rules when they're released.

Lammasu just got hinted at in the latest Helsmith article on WarCom:

Stranger things still are whispered of in the shadows – transformations and mutations beyond those seen in the lower echelons, sorcerous beasts with the heads of duardin elders scheming in the shadows of Hashut’s temples.

They always love to future-proof hints like that. They did it with the DoK when they hinted at future monster-girl units still unrevealed.

Heck one early book had artillery units whilst shadowbeasts are part of the lore since the very first appearance of Morathi

Remember guys: These aren't Chaos Dwarfs. They just have the broad aesthetics, background, pantheon, and nostalgia units of Chaos Dwarfs.

It was totally worth killing Fantasy!

I mean, they've literally called them chaos dwarves. So not sure what point you're trying to make here, despite the signature sarcasm.

It's 10 years since the Death of Old World and a yearish since its rebirth - its time to bury the hate and embrace what is.

Wow. It took me 10 years to buy into AoS (WarCry)?

I'm not sure what that says about me or GW.

Literally Chaos duardin, akshully...

I waited over 25+ years for this army to be released per my old signature. I really don't care what game it's for or what the game designers call it.

He's has 4chan energy, no point being made, just baiting people and being loudly aggrieved by anything, everything, and everyone. See the previous page's failed bait about women playing Ogres.

Thanks!

Little bit of a rules dump for our stunted chaos lad:

*Insert Colbert Gif* Give it to me!

Lol, this reminds me of the feeling I had when I read the teaser for Skorne just prior to Hordes releasing years ago.

If GW give me a baby elephant to kick for free candy, I will give them all the money.

Just watched the latest Ninjon video and he has the Helsmiths box.

If it's up for pre-order this month, then infulencers would have had it at least a month ago. Got to give them time to build and paint and such.

While the influencers probably have the boxes if it's due soon Jon was given some HoH minis to paint at Nova - he mentions it in another video (WHW) so the mini he's basing in this weeks video is likely the mini he painted at Nova.

EDIT: Nevermind just checked WHW and he confirmed it's from the box he was sent and that he took to Nova to paint and show off as GW didn't have any HoH at Nova.

I guess I have to get to the shop this weekend for the pre-order then.

And it comes next week:

Also the much delayed Deathratte and Gitz spearheads.
