From Ogor refreshes to armored Nurgle warriors and a towering Cogfort, the latest AoS rumors point to sweeping faction shakeups on the horizon.
When the rumor mill starts churning for Warhammer Age of Sigmar, it tends to grind loud enough for every hobbyist to hear. The latest batch comes from a source who nailed the Chaos Dwarfs’ whispers before they became reality.
That doesn’t guarantee accuracy, but it’s enough to make the new claims worth a second look.
So grab your salt shaker, because this one’s stacked with potential shakeups for Ogors, Cities of Sigmar, Skaven, Nurgle, and even Warhammer Quest.
Ogors: A Huge Refresh on the Horizon
The Ogor Mawtribes might be next in line for a sweeping range refresh, and the word “huge” doesn’t just apply to their waistlines. If these leaks hold true, Games Workshop is lining up a feast of new models:
- Unique Tyrant – a monster-sized character tied to Globb Glittermaw.
- Unique Butcher – reimagined as a war machine centerpiece.
- Unique Maneater – leading the charge with female Maneaters, potentially as a Warmaster.
- New Hunters, Mournfangs, Butchers, Tyrant, Gluttons, and Ironguts.
- And yes, more big guys are possible.
The flip side? A big retirement/Legends list. Say goodbye to the Icebrow Hunter, Frost Sabres, Firebelly, Icefall Yhetees, Leadbelchers, Great Mawpot, and even the 2019 Tyrant sculpt. Games Workshop has been trimming old kits across the range, and Ogors look next in line for the chop.
Cities of Sigmar: Knights, Priests, and Giant Cogforts
The newest Cities range already shook things up with plastic replacements, but there’s more rumored to be marching out of the gates:
- A Unique Marshal, potentially with a grudge against Daughters of Khaine.
- A Warpriest, which feels overdue.
- Arch-Knights as a battleline unit, giving humans a knightly core.
- And the big one: the Cogfort. Rumors describe it as a towering construct built to protect the Cities, a walking fortress somewhere between a mega steam tank and a small titan.
If that single piece of art is any clue, the Cogfort could become the iconic centerpiece kit that Cities players have been waiting for.
Skaven: Enter Crixxit
A favorite backstabbing ratmen might get their own splash too, with Crixxit the Assassin stepping into the spotlight. Skaven thrive on sneaky characters, so a named assassin could slot neatly into both narrative and matched play.
Nurgle vs. Cities of Sigmar?
This is where things get juicy. A rumored “Vs” box set featuring Maggotkin of Nurgle against Cities of Sigmar could be in the works. The Nurgle side supposedly includes a major refresh:
- Festus reimagined as a massive monster.
- A Unique Nurgle Daemon Prince.
- Pestigor Shaman and a Nurgle-flavored Realmgore Ritualist.
- Classic units reimagined in the rot: Pestigors, Bloodreavers, Blood Warriors, Skullcrushers, and even Rockgut Troggoths in Nurgle style.
- Putrid Blightkings are getting a new kit.
The kicker? Heavy armor. These warriors are rumored to wear plate armor thicker than Chaos Chosen, which could give Nurgle a whole new battlefield aesthetic, more iron and rot than slime and sores.
Warhammer Quest: A Nurgle Campaign in Ghyran?
Another big talking point is a Warhammer Quest set themed around Nurgle, possibly set in Ghyran. The leaked title “Mosscairn” has popped up, and the setting could pull in Kurnothi, Sylvaneth, or other order-aligned factions as a counterbalance. If true, this would give narrative players a new cooperative crawl with a fresh spin on rot versus life.
A New Order Faction: Duardin Rumors
One of the stranger whispers is about a brand-new Order faction of Duardin. With Kharadron Overlords already in the mix and classic dwarfs kept for The Old World, this rumor feels thin, but it keeps resurfacing. If true, it could mean another layer of dwarven identity in AoS, though it risks overlap with existing armies.
The Old World Connection
Finally, the same sources hint at more for Warhammer: The Old World. That includes new Chaos Marauders, a Chaos Mammoth, and even a Chaos Dragon. While not strictly AoS, the overlap of sculpting resources means these kits could bleed across systems, or at least inspire cross-use for hobbyists.
Final Thoughts On New AoS Rumors
Are these AoS rumors guaranteed? Not at all. But they’re consistent with Games Workshop’s recent push to retire old resin and Finecast kits in favor of fresh plastic, big centerpiece models, and boxed set releases that tie factions together.
Ogors might be eating well with an all-new roster. Cities could be marching forward behind a Cogfort. Nurgle looks ready to throw on a suit of plate and stomp into the spotlight. And somewhere, Skaven are sharpening daggers in the dark.
If even half of this turns out to be true, the next year of Age of Sigmar is going to be anything but quiet.
