AoS NEW *rumor*

I get the feeling a warcry or underworlds band would be from Fangs of Sotek, at the very least, given they're the faction that fit the whole thing the most and have skinks as their main forces. I don't think saurus would really fit as the main draw for character-focused small scale stuff like those two games, in the way that a band of plucky skinks + their beasts + maybe a token saurus or two would

I think that would run against GW's habit of always putting armies from different Grand Alliances into those boxes.

mwha, they seem to have been moving away from Grand alliances anyway. The only alliance that doesn't constantly have infighting is death. And especially for order they occasionally hint at growing tensions due to stuff like the DoK sacrifices or the Idoneth stealing souls.

For underworld I would expect
- Skink (star)priest as a leader
- 2-3 Minor skink characters for bodies
- 1-2 Saurus to be the big hitters

Possibly a kroxigor instead of the saurus as a big hitter.

For a dedicated warcry band they could pretty much do whatever.

al other similar teases & mentions of Fangs of Sotek pinning the blame for sacrifices on DoK, I wouldn't be surprised if we get a box of DoK versus Seraphon at some point

Mayber, season 4 starter? I know, that DoK get warband in current season, but it is not uncommon to have two band for a single faction.

they're generally a hero + variant, but they come with a few downsides that usually make em underwhelming

- No artifact/traits/etc. for named characters...
- The benefit is usually fairly minor, a +1 to hit on say a starpriest's Venombolt won't exactly change much..
- The basic hero they represent isn't super special.

So meh... much rather would've a warcry band as those seem to be better units in the main game than the underworld warbands.

Not if we get a scroll with a unique spell like some of the others that have wizards among their number, the beastman warband in particular is great in AoS.

Meh, unless we get Kroak levels of power I'd still prefer a unit over a unique character.
 
I don't know, how reliable is the source. The pic was in local warhammer news community. I don't remember the actual source, unfortunately. Razordon as a choice is a bit strange. I would expect a kroxigor too.
