Compiled Empire Rumours

[brotheryorei]

I'm confused about the double headed griffon. Since when has Deathclaw had 2 heads? And surely two heads would indicate a Chaos mutated griffon? Hardly the sort of thing the Emperor should be riding round on.

it is a combo kit. i would hope the two head option is for wizards and there is a different head the emperors griffon? i havent seen the pics yet so....

I reallt want to see pictures now and I'm not a WHFB player and do not like the Empire
Well we'll just wait until someone receives his WD subscription (mine almost always arrived after it was in stores so I cancelled it

All I can say looking at that is that the "Luminark of Hish" had better be fricking awesome to live down that name!

Looking forward to seeing pics for this lot.

No War Wagons? No Kislev models? Sadness...

[Brakkart]

Think Kislev is planned to be covered in the rumoured Warhammer Allies supplement that will likely be next year sometime, basically 5 of the smaller nations of the Warhammer world like Kislev and Araby.

[Faultie]

I thought it was found out that the guy circulating that rumour was making the whole thing up.

[Wildeybeast]

Witch Hunters!? Amber Wizards!? I can hardly contain my excitement, I really hope there is a wich hunter hero type, that will be amazing. Need pictures NOW.

"On release all units and options will be available from the release date."

Am I correct in thinking this means that everything in the book will be out in the first wave? No more hanging around for years for a second one? That would be a turn up for the books.

It certainly sounds that way, but then most of the Empire range is already pretty good, so with these additional releases I can well see them having a complete range. About time one of their armies did I say!

Also Teaser Trailer, which is pretty cool:
