Bigger and better? Seraphon have been mentioned as getting a re-launch for Age of Sigmar 2.0! Check out what could be on the way for this age-old faction!

An Industry Insider mentioned the Seraphon which has sparked a new batch of rumors. But that’s not all we’ve got. We’ve started noticing a trend in the latest rumor engines that look like they could be for the Seraphon.

Since these models are painted, regardless of what they are, chances are they will appear on store shelves soon the later…

AoS Rumors: Seraphon Faction Overhaul in Late Summer

Rumors From an Industry Insider: 

Lizards are coming back late summer for a bigger release than Sylvaneth.

The only “lizard” faction we know about is Seraphon and while the Sylvaneth are still being held up, they’ve definitely gotten a lot of support. That makes us wonder exactly what kind of help the Seraphon could be getting this summer. Most overhauled factions at the very least get their own set of Endless Spells, however, Seraphon have a lot of older models too. Maybe we could see some minis transferred over to plastic or even get reworked.

While these rumors are still fairly new, we’ve got some rumor engines that could be pointing us in the direction of Seraphon as well.

Rumor Engines Could Be Seraphon

This rumor engine looks like it could be the tail of something like a Bastiladon. No matter what it is, it’s definitely got scales and gives off a dinosaur vibe.

As for this rumor engine, the case could be made that this is actually the harness on the underbelly of a giant Lizard. You can see obvious leather straps and some rough-looking skin beneath it.

The community is going to have to keep watch at this point. According to the rumors, we should see the Seraphon in a new way by the end of Summer. If September rolls around and there hasn’t been a single Lizard spotted, we will know if the rumors were true or not. In the meantime, let us know what you think about this batch of rumors and previewed bits in the comments of our Facebook Hobby Group.
