Like train conductors?

I was thinking more Victorian Postman.

Most of the glimpses of Cities of Sigmar we’ve seen have looked very much like old Warhammer Empire but with the da Vinci Punk vibes dialled up to 11.

I would expect them to be compatible with the Empire aesthetic so they can serve double duty in TOW, but there's a good deal of wiggle room there and I wouldn't be surprised if GW goes in a totally different direction.

Dat art looks cool though!

Why would you expect that? There are any number of new AoS factions that could be reasonably expected to "pull double duty" as something in TOW (Lumineth as High Elves, for example), yet they all have a fairly distinct aesthetic separate from what we have seen previewed with regards to Kislev, etc. via Total War. Based on what little artwork and fluff we have of Cities of Sigmar/Dawnbringer Crusades, theres no reason to believe that there will be any sort of compatibility between them and anything TOW based. I certainly wouldn't expect to see Cogforts in TOW, and given thats a thing it seems likely that AoS humans will take a decidedly more steampunk angle than TOW Empire did. The Soulbound artwork looks spot-on like what I would expect a faction that builds and fights with Cogforts to look like - so I'm pretty sure thats a preview of what you're gonna get.

And I'm loving it. I'm getting a nice mix of victorian and vinci in that getup. Its giving me ACW and mid/late 19th century vibes even though the cut and style of the costume is decidedly more renaissance era than that, its a really good basically seamless mish-mash of aesthetics.

sorry but what is TOW?

love the art... hope to see more soon.
kind of gives off a dystopian wars from spartan games feel too.

TOW = The Old World. WHFB reboot game.

It's not a bad look. Her face makes her look like a female Steve Martin.

It might just be temporary but all Gargant minis are missing from the online store - in both the Sons and Gitz sections

Strange, but when you've a model range that only has 2 actual kits in it there's every chance that a glitch or relisting with new box art or such can get them pulled from the site.

Yeah not expecting battletome. Makes zero sense for them to get one now leaving either gits or ogors without any aos3 update until next year as only faction in game.

When has good sense ever been a factor in gw decisions? Sons of Behemat are almost definitely getting a new book this autumn with a King Brodd model. The model will probably be an upgrade frame for the existing Mega Gargant kit. A while ago gw accidentally put up a rumour engine from the current mega Gargant kit but with a different paint scheme. That rumour engine is probably from this kit.
According to a well known rumour monger over on TGA, the kit will also feature the small creatures we have seen in a couple of rumour engines.

In interesting news

This kit looks almost perfect for AoS to the point where I'm surprised its not duel designed. About the only things on them that aren't perfect fantasy are the ammo clip pouches and honestly they are just rectangular pouches easily excused in a fantasy setting.

Brodd was a regular gargant, not a mega if memory serves.

Except gw has bebn very consistent in putting out updates. Everything but 1 would get update by fall yet 1 randomly left until next year?

Yea not buying it. Rumour engine pic could easily be for next year. Much more likely than gits or ogors being singled out as only faction without aos3 update.

Not to mention gits vs ogors been one of the most consistent rumours since aos3 was launched.

Also was told some boc has gone and we know for sure no book for them.

It's not impossible that there's been some sort of disaster for a particular book, meaning delays

(or even out right cancellation and back to the drawing board if the next viable release slot would be after an edition change)

Eh why people keep thinking gw changes things in a fly...this fall release schedule was decided last year. And if git/ogor was delayed there would be 1 destruction book. Sob from next year wouldn't be coming instead. Leadtimes. It's been explained million times yet people think gw just changes things on the fly...

...and forget gw is all about profit and doing such emmergency changes requiring　private jet flights for prodults costs profit.

He was regular sized, but him and his followers were also a bit more than regular gargants. They came from a battalion called "Sons of Behemat" that gave them extra capabilities. Given the way they were described in the fluff it would make more sense for him to have grown into a mega following the catalyst of Behemat's death than not.

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but it looks like we're catching up in terms of delayed releases. Arcane Cataclysm's points were "as of June 2022".

That's good to know.

Fyreslayer vs idk box in january was also marked january.

Sure, but Echoes of Doom was marked May.

So the release schedule was SUPPOSED to have Echoes of Doom in May...and then Arcane Cataclysm in heckin' June.

Yes. So just because one product came on time doesn't mean schedule is on track.

So it looks like Sons are all but confirmed.
As I said before we are probably going to see a King Brodd model with mini helpers.

That would be cruel from gw. First make aos3 so gits will be worst, then single out them as only faction to not get aos3 update in timely manner.

Isn't this what they did to Daemons and Guard in 40k 9E?

Gits got quite a big upgrade with the latest battlescroll. Ogors are the only faction that has got absolutely nothing this edition which is why they will probably be the other book alongside the Sons.

There are two destruction tomes due, dude.

That isn't aos3 update. Where's battle tactics, gs, ptg stuff? You know? The aos3 updates...

I still think that the rumor engines with the tiny imps are for mega gargants. It would explain the massive hair/beard

Maybe they'll just roll the giants and ogres into one book, and have the big boys all together.
