<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Tomb Kings: Rumors?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/6.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Tomb Kings: Rumors?
This is all that I have heard
1. It's going to be the next WHFB codex released now that Beastmen are done
2. There is going to be a plastic Bone Giants who will have various game options
3. There are going to be a number of differant ways of taking priests including upgrading a tomb scorpion
4. Skeleton warriors and tomb guard are going to be re-done with skeletons being cheaper
5. There will be a sphinx unit
6. Kings and princes will have a deadlier curse as well as more mount options including a construct like creature and a roc (giant carrion bird)
7. Ushabti will have differant weapon options and a hero class character type
8. Priests will be able to be entered in a construct as a mount type thing.
9. Skull Catapults will have even more ammo types

Thats all I've been able to find. Some of it sounds plausible to me, and since the trend is remaking 4 units I'm pretty sure skeletons and Tomb Guard will be 2 of those and I think the others that could be getting new models are Bone Giants, Ushabti and the cataplut.

What do you guys think?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/309844/1814475.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/309844/1814475.page GMT Tomb Kings: Rumors? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/309844/1814518.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/309844/1814518.page GMT Tomb Kings: Rumors? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/309844/1814578.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/309844/1814578.page GMT Tomb Kings: Rumors?

Tomb Kings are certainly on the rumor radar for 'soon', whatever 'soon' end up meaning in this case.

O&G seem to have jumped them in the queue recently, though...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/309844/1814641.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/309844/1814641.page GMT Tomb Kings: Rumors? GW as I've not been to happy with them lately

TK in the new addition so far.

If using the Skaven/Beastmen and new rule book as an example I would expect cheaper units across the board.

All that being said, a lot of what OP was talking about sounded familiar rumor-wise. Nice to see the roc got out. Frankly I am hoping for more solid, capable rules rather than continued codex creep but I dont hold a hell of a lot of hope for that. I'm looking for more flanking units myself, but when you have as many light chariots in oyur inventory as I do, you would wouldnt you? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/309844/1814940.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/309844/1814940.page GMT Tomb Kings: Rumors?
When I first started WHFB it was a toss up between Lizardmen and Tomb Kings for my first army and Lizardmen won but I've always had an interest in the Tomb Kings.

I haven't read the new rules yet but I've heard that TKs have an advantage now as far as magic goes since everything they do is automatically caste as bound spells and all that but I also have heard that this loses its advantage because of how dated the codex and spells are.

Oh and by the way, I had Thai food ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/309844/1815180.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/309844/1815180.page GMT Tomb Kings: Rumors?

All those website telling you about a Warhammer Fantasy CODEX should not be trusted.
O&G being next almost confirmed. Khemri in October got shot down.
There are rumours floating around, but release is still 8-15 months away. But the TK fluff text in the rulebook may contain hints (big statues, flying ships). And Sphinx being standard terrain now, a model sounds plausible.

It is my understanding that final play testing of the Tomb Kings army book is done.

TK were on my posible-new-army-if-a-new-codex-comes-out list. And im starting HE as well! Grrrr! I think i can wait for a while after it comes out though, when/if it does. Those new updates sound pretty awesome, plastic bone giant sounds really good, as do the sphinx unit. I think they'll be interesting in the new edition (big units of utashibi).

I wouldn't mind a new O&G release, though they have just had new models and i can see what people say about it being more popular etc.

1) My models are still valid
2) We get more units.

I love running chariots and Kings. Settra and Khalida are nice characters - but since TK release I think the deficiencies are pretty glaring vs. other armies.

I do enjoy the 8th ed magic phase though. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/309844/1816024.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/309844/1816024.page GMT Tomb Kings: Rumors?

I'm leaning towards TK's being the next army for WHFB, if only because we actually have rumors for them at the moment. Sure, a lot of it is "Redshirt said [x]" or "I heard on this one forum [y]", but compared to what we've heard from O&G this implies either GW has sealed practically every leak, is feeding false info to make the release a bigger surprise, or it actually will be TK's.
