AoS NEW *rumor*

I live off disappointment :D as someone who is a fan of stuff that is requiring many years to get an update (off-topic: Looking at you Golden Sun game by Nintendo)
I can easily accept a book update with maybe some spells, the book is very needed. As brainxigor said, the amount of papers required to play the army is crazy.
The new models would be just the extra wishes for the army, we have a wide range. Just would be nice to get some more Skink heroes, updated models or a Kroxigor Hero.

Would love the skink chief to return, the old metal one with the helmet is one of my favorites

There are a few miniatures I'd like to have, missed a few when I left the hobby for a few years.

A metal Sunblood, Eternity Warden, that Skink Chief just to name a few and of course 3 of the newer Kroxigor.

Time to hunt on Ebay!

That is interesting that both Seraphon and Sons of Behemat warscrolls have been identified.

I’m pretty sure then that Sons of Behemat are going to be High Elves 2.0, and that they and Seraphon will be teased together.

The sons of Behemat are not high elves. Currently ingame it is a DESTRUCTION giant battallion. So this is a giant faction.

Well, given that GW explicitly said that High Elves 2.0 will be teased at the Las Vegas Open, and I don't think they've ever teased two major faction releases together in the past because it would take such a long time for both to be released, the most likely case I can see is that High Elves 2.0 will arrive at the Las Vegas Open and Seraphon will be shunted back to appear with Sons of Behemat at a later event.

models are made in the uk books and cards are china

Right, but the terrain and spells are made in China as well right, like Aginor said. I remmber seeing the sheet for slaves to darkness.

So this might mean a) no Seraphon endless spells. b) they are going to be shipped later.
 
Been looking around at the discussions about Sons of Behemat, many think it's going to be the approach of one large giant and then a possible two unit smaller giants, all being multi-part kits. Similar to Imperial Knights.

I just hope they don't break the game like Imperial Knights do for 40K, or AoS will be screwed big time.

What did they do to 40k?

They are big, shoot everything off the table and are hard to kill. So it seems you need to tailor your list to deal with them or you are screwed. Never dealt with them, in my 40k group we tend to not to play with super heavies, or in my case I flat out refuse to play against such things.

They could do what the ogors have, where each model counts as multiple.
Just give the Gargent keyword and I'll be happy

I didn't know about that, I've never played against them. Makes sense. Do they count the number of wounds or something like that? Is an alligeance ability? Or works also for Grand Alliance Destruction?

regular ogors count as 2 models. Monsters count as 10. It's an allegiance ability called might makes right.

Imho, it wouldn't work very well for giants as they'd only have monsters. And having basicly every model in your army count as 10 would make holding objectives super swingy. Unless of course we get midget-giants or something to fullfill the same role as regular ogors do in the mawtribes. But since midget-giants are basicly ogors that'd be weird...

Sounds fun (Destruction haven’t had a new army release since Gloomspite Gitz last year, so about time) but how do you know Sons of Behemat isn’t going to be the name for High Elves 2.0?

GW definitely confirmed High Elves 2.0 will be previewed at the Las Vegas Open here, and it’s very unlikely that they would preview two new armies together as they’ll both be big releases.

Look up Behemat for AoS. He I known as the Star Gargant, and was slain during the Realmgate wars. Its already been said, but he has a very apparent connection to Giants and a packet of Warscroll Cards named after him implies an army.

They were the catalyst for turning 40K into a game of 'whoever has the biggest Lord-of-War wins' after the Wraithknight started it back in 6th Edition.

Completely false. Knights are actually terrible as a single army, and we're only oppressive when the Knight Castellan was super meta. It was undercoated and strategems allowed for it to be too durable. As of now, you see multiple knights in lists, but they are neither oppressive, nor are they that good for most objective game-play.

To be perfectly honest, most lords of war are trash tier or 'meh' in their respective armies. The only ones that are built around are Magnus, Mortarion, Guilliman, and the Baneblade variants. And even then, investing so many points into such a big Target will get it blown off the board by the opposite army before it gets to act more often than not.

Sounds like you need this https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/KV128-Stormsurge


As for AoS hopefully big creatures won’t dominate, especially as they take wounds pretty poorly
