*Sphinx: Rules and sculpts aren't easy. But, if it happens, it'll take up a Rare slot, have Anti-Magic rules, and be more "defensive" then the Bone Giant.
*Ushabti: Upgrades such as Champs, and weaponary were mentioned...
*Bone Giants: Equipment/weaponary upgrades almost a definite! Sprue suppose to be well "furbished".
*Casket of Souls: No longer will take up a Rare...and optional rule to Target one enemy unit, and roll 3d6 vs their LD! I'm hoping this is incorrect...
*Curse: Killing a King will be more painful then a Prince, and not sure it'll have anything to do with LD tests...
*Tomb Swarms: No longer 0-1 of course...
*Tomb Guard: Optional weapon upgrades, Halberds with hvy Armor? Doesn't quite make sense...but who knows...
*Magical Items: Old style of Banner of the Hidden Dead/Legion will be back! Around 125pts, but will allow you to take any point sized unit (from set units) and have them appear at the START OF THE TURN!!! Thus a Charge will be available to the unit...coupled with Ikon of Rakaph, this is potentially the "one hit wonder". Much better Talismans and Arcane Items, some Weapons, Armor will probably stay much as is.
*Icon Bearer: Will get a "My Will Be Done..." Rule, but only affects Movement I believe...and an increase in his stats! (Wight King?)

Considering GW's leaning towards more monstrous releases I'm sure one of those pics is a part of the Tomb Spynx.

"In the meantime, if you're a Tomb Kings player (or thinking about becoming one) it's time to start building up your Undead hordes in preparation for the new arrivals."
Whilst this makes it sound like no new Skellies will be released, I'm inclined to be cynical and think it's GW trying to tempt people to buy the old ones before they release shiny new ones as they did for VC. I don't think we'll see new Cavalry or Chariots though as these are more recent sculpts and there is a lot more that needs more urgent work in the TK range.

Probable releases then:

Plastic Skeleton Warriors (reduced number as with VC Skellies)
Plastic Tomb Guard
Plastic Bone Giant (with multiple builds)
Plastic Tomb Sphynx (as big as the Arachnarok)
Possibly a Plastic Screaming Skull Catapult w. build variants

New metals could involve some of these new unit types like the Mummies / Embalmed and "Godblooded". Possibly even a giant Roc as a winged mount for characters and a beastie in its own right.

Have at it, y'all.

Lassek kirjoitti:Joo ois kyllä kiva voida pelata muutakin kuin epätoivoista nurkassa känötystä. Siistii oli uusiin sääntöihin totutellessa todeta unitti toisensa perään turhaksi. Tankillekin jos sais tehtyä jotain.

* First Wave no new core skellies, second or third wave you will get them.
* The Screaming Skull is (as I suspected) going to be turned into a huge plastic kit much the same size as the Skaven Catapult.
* Expect a new core (Mummies)
* Chariots remain core. (Obvious but I put it out there anyway.) This puts two good looking core.
* New Tomb Guard (Obvious) Whats not obvious are the large array of options in this kit - There are bare skeleton heads in here which you can use to put on the Tomb Guard to use as core skellies or you can put some of the heads on the current skellies to spiff them up, or mix and match the two kits. Bows, Halbreds, Great weapons are options in this kit as well as HW/S
* New plastic Scorpion, various builds
* New plastic Bone Giant, various builds
* New Metal Blister Characters/Heroes (LOTS of these)
* New Plastic HQ Chariot (On of the pics on GW article shows a portion of this apparently)
* Apparently there is more of a chariot theme going throughout the book, more versions of chariots in rare, special, HQ.
* Some of these may be Wave 2 or 2.5
* I blew off everything that I heard in this post, so questions are pointless if directed at me, sorry.
* (EDIT) Forgot new cavalry models, apparently a way to make them core as well as special.

I got to recheck the models set for release in May -

There are Knights and Stalkers (each with some tombkingesq name) coming out in the one box set, which i presume are Light and Heavy cav.

There are two types of sphynx as well - I'm guessing, but I think one is magic orientated and one combat orientated. One is a warsphinx or something like that, the other a necro-something (something like necromancer) sphinx.

I don't think these are all of the models to be released either, as there were no characters/blisters listed, so probably some extra stuff as well. No skeles are (so far) in the initial release.

sippa kirjoitti:Lolololooo :D:D:D:D
Näin jos skelejen hinnaksi tulee todellakin jotain 2p luokkaa. Noilla pistemmäärillä saisin hädintuskin corea edes täyteen :D

HerraMauno kirjoitti:Olisko mahollista, että skelet tulis nakuina hintaan 3 tai 4 pinnaa ja kehitykset olis 1 pinnan.
