Those darkoath looks great, and solve lots of rumor engine pics.
I wonder if they scale up to the warcry guys. They look pretty big and these special edition can be strange sizes.

Darkoath reveal - another Warhammer+ set - not a new range (yet)

These look so good! I REALLY need them to redo the marauders now.

Sexy. More convinced than ever Darkoath need to be their own faction

How come the female goons in the warcry Darkoath have more muscle than the "Warqueen", i guess she got the title through nepotism.

You don't need to be more muscular to be a better fighter. Or have a more dominating personality.

I'm looking forward to the inevitable Warcry cards for these guys!

Leader and shaman are the best IMO.

Same. These are definitely a warband I will be nabbing.

So is this an Underworlds warband that doesn't come with any cards or what?

It's a unit of characters.

I guess it’s like the Blacktalon and Callis and Toll sets. So yeah, I guess.

Ah well they're pretty cool sculpts, I hope they can be used (and not be terrible) somewhere.

There are pictures floating around AoS Slaves to Darkness Facebook of more reveals. More horsemen, a spiky not-werewolf type thing, and maybe more infantry and a mounted character/champion.

I didn’t watch the reveal stream, but its photo snapshots of what looks like a GW preview video.

Here are those pics

Good man! I was in process of posting, ty

And there’s my 4th edition army selected!

Gw accidentally uploaded the wrong Darkoath video to Bilibili (the Chinese YouTube). The video's still there if you want to watch it.

Holy damn, so are they actually becoming a full army??

Do you have a link?

Found it

well that solves two recent rumor engines! i really like the guy with the horns and the guy on the horse. are these supposed to be another warcry warband or something? probably like the stormcast thing they did recently? pretty motley mix, and five standalone characters would be a lot for a range refresh

Darkoath getting a range refresh does feel, to me, like evidence that the warcry stuff and stuff of a similar aesthetic is going to get split off into its own codex distinct from Slaves to Darkness, tho. it's getting too big and too bloated, and there's an obvious dividing line between them

Or it's just evidence of the Marauders being retired from AoS and Darkoath replacing them.

oh, wow. definitely getting to be its own army with all this stuff

possibly? but the range is bloated as is and introducing all these models feels like an appropriate time to split it up, if ever

For the most part, it looks like the basic warriors and Calvary are being replaced, plus some new monsters and heroes. Nothing too crazy unless all the warcry models ends up filling out a separate battle tome

The range is bloated due to the warcry warbands being shoehorned in as units, if you removed then it's worryingly sparse.

yeah i agree! which is why my idea is to give the warcry units plus the associated units their own codex

I have no use at all for this Warhammer+ Darkoath warband but I want them!

or it's just a subfaction, like how Troggoths are in Gloomspite Gitz.

Also the number of Underworlds warbands; bumping both Leaders and Units by 3.

Looks like its gone now?

I watched it once, at least!

One of the best models ever imo.

Yep, gone. But from what i saw there was new cavalry, hero's and at least one new unit.
