Dwarves Rumor Roundup

[wulfen777]

Hmmm... I should be looking forward to new Dwarf stuff but there also is the fear that they really mess it up. I hope the "big stuff" for the Dwarfs (every army seems to get that nowadays) won't be too ridiculous...

[Lord-Boofhead]

Just throwing this out there as something I noticed. But of you go to the GW webpage and the first of four news slides shows a Dwarf machine throwing iron heads covered in snow, for the "find a perfect present" ad. Could be nothing but a cool machine they wanted to just put up or possibly an idea of what the Orc crusher will look like, just an observation.

Given there is also a picture of Night Gobbos using a catapult to return fire with squigs covered in snow in the snowball fight I don't think so...

[Karath]

So no new news... Would this seem to show that a Dwarf update is less likely?

[Mr Mystery]

I think it's more that it's a while off.

December WD is Tyranids, with many expecting it to a a two month release ala Dark Elves, meaning the earliest we'll see the next release is February/March.

Anyone know why there's so little info? My stuntys want shiny things

[Chronowraith]

I think Mr Mystery nailed it. It's just a time thing. Dwarfs aren't rumored until February at the earliest and possibly not until March.

[Karath]

Meh, I heard January, February and March for release dates...

Not shiny enough.

[Mysterion]

While Dwarfs are outdated they still have a few nasty combos. I'll never forget running into a horde of Hammerers with a Thane and a grudge stone. It wasn't a pleasant experience... Some of their models really do need plastic kits though.

[Mr Mystery]

What I hope we don't see is any big monstery kit. That would be about as Dwarven as giving them Cavalry.

Honking bit artillery? Absolutely. But ideally geared toward smooshing up units. Dwarfs typically have a pretty good time against Monsters as is, thanks to their numerous cannon and bolt throwers!
