I don’t often do to much on the rumours department, but as an avid Warhammer Underworlds player (yes, we do exist) I have this titbit of hopefull information.
This friday the “influencers” will receive the new warband for release, which is called Kamandora’s Blades. Now, the name sounds pretty Khorne-ish to me (that and a new rivals deck will come alongside them, which by the name also is in the aggro department), and it is often whispered that for the Age of Sigmar lore purpose our beloved Hashut has become an aspect of Khorne.
It has always been said that they would first be tested in Underworlds, so my guess is they will be coming and that it will be a Hobgrot centered warband.
Should I be able to pry out more info, I’ll of course be coming back here…
As a [1st edition] Underworlds player too, I was always super hopeful for a Chaos Dwarf Underworlds warband. Personally I think it would be a shame if it would be Hobgrot themed, but let’s see first.
Very interesting rumour, I’m excited.
I will of course not dignify Hashut being under the Khorne umbrella with a response.
So glad I’m not the only one regarding these as decidedly sub-standard and ugly models. Yikes. Does the studio ever reject anything at this point or are they just greenlighting everything to his their near-weekly new release schedule?
I’m glad it wasn’t a Chaos Dwarf related release at this level of disappointment!
It used to be the Khorne was represented by dogs and Slaanesh by bulls, but they kind of shifted the bull-ness to Khorne around 6th edition and left Slaanesh without any representative animal. An oil pump is a curious thing for fantasy though.
Well, not for AoS. Wasn’t the Zharr Vyxa lore we had so far something about the Chaos Duardin using souls in an oil-like manner and quite literally “pumping” them from shyish or so?
It’s not anything new though. Warcry Red Harvest came with that terrain piece (the Varanite Mines) and it was later sold separately (in two different sets: Warcry Ravaged Lands: Varanite Syphon Camp and Warcry Ravaged Lands: Pit Dredger Camp). So maybe not a clue… just a chaotic backdrop??
If this turns out to be Chorfs I will explode from joy. I got into it after GW stopped making (noot counting FW), and have been waiting for all that time.
