But, yeah, generally it sounds to be Nurgle now, Ogors somewhere at the end, and Duardin, Gargants, Cogforts, Cities, Daughters of Khaine, Ossiarch good stuff all wedged in the middle :). The non darkwater-thing could be anything! Not to mention the Eshin-featuring spearhead box!

I'm assuming it's all of Darkwater and then some more Nurgle, but... They've spoilt us at some of the larger previews, so I wouldn't be shocked to see something completely different, and there's probably even a load of battletomes just getting a hero we're not even hearing rumours about :).

That graphic is excellent! I forgot just how much finecast there still was...

Could well be. I'm hopefully they get a bit of love this edition. I did see some folks suggesting that just a revamp of 3-4 kits would jazz them up significantly e.g. Gluttons, Leadbelchers, Ironguts & Butcher/Slaughter master (dual kit). Allowing that two of the first three could even be dual

I'm bringing the following evidence to the maggotkin speculation: First, a glossed over part of the post whitefang had liked guessing what might be coming for nurgle. Second, a comparison between yesterdays rumour engine image and details found on the Harbinger of Decay and Blightkings.

Oooooh... SOLD!!

Hobby Jackal @hobbyjackal.bsky.social · 18/07/2025
Yep!! Although somewhat uncertain whether they'll be a whole unit or dotted about the kits, but according to Whitefang they're definitely in there :)

Could well be! I really do hope they maybe get another human-focused expansion out of the way, and then maybe an edition or two in the future, revisit the multicultural aspects :)

Me too! Risky sharing rumours 36hrs before they could be proven absolutely wrong... But also fun :D

Absolutely! I didn't really expect Pestigors to make a return at all. Let's hope most of this pans out :) 🤞

Some folk are theorising that the four armies that got the recent random spearhead updates might be coming late edition (and these were to tide us over), but nothing more than speculation (that's Ogors, Cities of Sigmar, Ossiarch Bonereapers and Seraphon) :)

Hobby Jackal @hobbyjackal.bsky.social · 17/07/2025
I am so eager for an Ogor update! I mean, I've been after a plastic butcher since they launched in WHFB :D. That said, in terms of solid rumours we have zilch.

Haha, definitely! This snotling is probably not long for this world, if I'm honest. I built him about five years ago (the banner was a late addition) before I appreciated strong joins/pinning and those little metal feet are just super glued to that rock and base 😁

I love these old minis :). Also, handily, as squigs have pretty much always stayed as "balls with teeth", I'm pretty sure I can cram a bunch of different era squigs into a herd and it'll look fine :D

Could well be! The Trademarking would remain a bit of a mystery, but it sounds like a visually different setting for a WHQ game :)

Hobby Jackal @hobbyjackal.bsky.social · 07/04/2025
It certainly sounds like an Underworlds season! Biggest curiosity is that they trademarked it, and they've not trademarked a Warcry, Underworlds or Kill Team season before, but *do* trademark larger games and core factions. Could be a change in how they do things, or... Could be something new :)

Thank you! Yes - it really does have Underworlds vibes. Just.. so unusual that they would trademark in. Super curious!

Hobby Jackal @hobbyjackal.bsky.social · 06/04/2025
Latest effort! Most exciting bit is Games Workshop Trademarking an obscure part of Ghyran (AOS Realm of Life). This is usually reserved for core games & factions :). 👉 youtu.be/4tJNiLUrhGw #warhammer #aos #mosscairn #warcry #chaosdwarfs #fyreslayers

Yeah, I'm imaging some kind of shift. Yet, Soulblight and Seraphon could've walked straight out of Warhammer Fantasy Battles for their latest revamps, so I guess it could go either way :).

Unclear future as the whole game's gone 'Online Only', but it's a great, swift ruleset. ...and all the rules/stats for using nearly any AOS mini are free online :)

Hobby Jackal @hobbyjackal.bsky.social · 31/03/2025
Then we have WarCom's own teaser image. Which, when zoomed in, has a little Hashut symbol near the left eye. ...I wonder if the eyes will be angry cow critter-like. Like the lamasu or summink? :) ...BlueSky spamming over... #hashut #chaosduardin #warhammer #chaosdwarfs

Hobby Jackal @hobbyjackal.bsky.social · 31/03/2025
In terms of hints, you're totally right! Kruleboyz/Orruk Warclans lore gave them a central role with the Hobgrots, forging their weapons & armour. AOS core book has a Hashut box-out. ...and there is talk of growing unease towards the mountains & what's going on there.
