More clues have arrived from Games Workshop for the new Age of Sigmar Malign Portents. Come check out Part VI: The Asylum.

Age of Sigmar is going to be getting really dark with the release of Malign Portents coming next year. Today we’re getting another mysterious teaser from Games Workshop. With only 10 days left in the countdown let’s see what they had to show us this time.

Part VI: The Asylum

The Asylum is giving us a preview of a guy sitting in the corner of a room with scribbles all over the wall in the fetal position. What does this have to do with the grimdark future of Age of Sigmar? To be honest we’re really not sure…

Part V: The Village

The Village is giving us another convoluted look into the grim dark future of Age of Sigmar. The people in this village are floating off the ground with glowing eyes, not really revealing much…

Part IV: The Falling Star

 

Part IV: The Falling Star is definitely a puzzling one. Who could possibly be represented by the falling star? What could the mean for the future of Age of Sigmar in this much darker time?

Part III: The Icon

Malign Portents The IconWe almost didn’t catch this one at first. In part three we got a look at a statue, but for a brief second, when the lightning strikes, you see the statue become a skeleton. So what are these shadows gathering in Sigmar’s kingdoms?

Part II: The ShipMalign Portents

We got a preview of a dock with a big ship at the end of it, and it has some extremely battered sails giving it an extremely dark look.

Part I: The Field Malign Portents The Field

Here we got a look at a mysterious field outside of a structure, and very quickly you see a skull in the moon flash in the moon.

Are these teasers revealing anything to you? Can you make sense of what’s to come?

Last week Games Workshop dropped this teaser showing us three things this means for AoS.

The age of hope is dead and GW is making sure we know it with the AoS logo getting all little more dark and gloomy. We’re also going to be seeing the rise of the Knight of Shrouds, a new Nighthaunt hero, and the Chaos Gods have appointed a new champion, Darkoath Warqueen.

We got the announcement of Malign Portents back in August when they dropped this teaser video on us.

That’s also when we got our first look at the Knight of Shrouds.

And Darkoath Warqueen, the newly appointed Chaos champion.

If you remember the Darkoath Chieftain from Warhammer Quest Silver Tower, this warrior woman is his boss – although unlike standard bosses, she’s more likely to deal with sub-par performance by ripping someone’s throat out with her teeth instead of giving them a 5 point list of actions to improve on (unless those actions are “tear the hearts from your enemies” and “despoil the realms in the name of the dark gods” and so on).

So far this is everything we’ve seen and know about the Malign Portents, and we can’t wait to find out more. Just how dark will Age of Sigmar be getting? You’ll have to check back in with us to find out, we’ll be putting out updates as soon as we get them.

What do you think about Malign Portents? Are you looking forward to AoS becoming a little more grim? Let us know in the comments below.
