2 different sets of AoS Warscroll sheets for Lord Kroak are making the rounds, as his actual rules are still a mystery.
Warhammer Community recently unveiled one of the strongest mages to ever grace the mortal realms for the upcoming Kragnos Broken Realms book.
While he already has a model, it really needed an update, especially because it is still in Finecast! The new version is definitely much bigger and more imposing on the battlefield. Since the old Slaan kit was almost identical, this could also be a multi-functional kit for both.
Let’s check out the new model!
Revamped Broken Realms Lord Kroak Revealed by GW
The events of the Broken Realms are so cataclysmic that they threaten the Great Plan of the slann, and Lord Kroak is roused from his contemplation to intervene directly. Even after all this time, Kroak only seems to have grown in power. This is represented in your games with a new warscroll – but you’ll have to wait a little longer before we can tell you more than that.
While they don’t give any new rules, at least we know he’ll be getting them. The new model looks great, and finally, one of the most powerful mages of all time will actually have the mini to match! We’ll see how this build goes because there is not a ton of connection points for how big this looks. Let’s just hope it doesn’t turn into another Silent King-type situation!
2 Different Sets of Lord Kroak Warscroll Rules?
Spotted on Imgur, there seem to be two different Lord Kroak datasheets floating around the internet… What could it mean?
The first sheet looks pretty identical to that of the sheet you might see on GW’s website, which does make this at least look official. There are also changes all over this sheet! his base stat line, a new weapon, new abilities… If this were fake, which it could be, there was some serious effort put into it.
The second sheet is printed out and looks like what you would find at the back of the instruction manuals in the larger kits. This one is slightly different in the fact that a lot more of it is shared with the old Kroak sheet. If you are a skeptic, that might add or take away legitimacy.
One thing is for sure one of these is fake, OR one was a sort of “beta” test sheet when they assumably playtested designs in-house before landing on a final choice.
Looking at the old sheet, the second rumored sheet has a lot in common with it. In fact, the only main difference is his wounds, Masters of Order, and the command ability, which is certainly a little odd. Whereas the first sheet has much more changes on it.
If we believe that one was a test run and one is the final sheet, the second one is clearly less”developed” or unique in that regard. Most of the time, major model updates come with sweeping rule changes, not a hand full of minor tweaks.
That being said, if one is real and both don’t just fake, then the first one does look to be more likely on the surface.
UPDATE: One of these warscrolls were obviously off the mark, and now we have the real one that you can check out at this link here.
What do you think about these rumored rules? Are you excited about the official changes when they come?
