Next Race?

[Monkey Man]

What race do y'all think could be the next to grace our lovely game of SOVL?

I love all the warhammer adjacent races we have so far; but I think we need a new race to set things apart. Maybe like a fishman or insect race that's unique to SOVL, what do you lot think?

[Monkey Man]

Personally I'd love a monkey race with chimpanzee infantry and gorilla trolls, big monkey man orangutan as the special unit, but hey that's just me. Would love to hear y'alls thoughts.

wouldn't it be loosely based upon a race that is present in oldschool warhammer tabletop? pretty sure all the current races are

The races aren't really 'Warhammer adjacent'. It's not an original series with races inspired by Warhammer, they are explicitly Oldhammer races/rosters with different names. I don't expect any 'new' content.

As such, the races I'd expect we might get, in rough order of likelihood:

'Undead Egyptians'
'Knights'
'Abyssal Dwarfs'
'Ogres (My Lord)'
'Demons'
'Mercenaries'


I feel like the game leans more towards 4th/5th so Brets and Chaos Dwarfs seem pretty likely. But Tomb Kings are a fan favourite so I think they leap frog them. Ogres is easy but maybe not a priority.

Daemons of Chaos is in a weird place (surprise) because of the changes to Chaos lists over time. There's 'all together' Chaos of 4th/5th, 'Mortals but can take Daemons' of 6th, and the more modern take where Mortals and Daemons are separated. We've got 6th Ed Beastmen, so we could get 6th Edition Daemons, but I don't think SOVL has any cross faction units at this point, which they'd need to do. I can kind of see them just getting skipped over.

Mercenaries seem really unlikely, but who knows?

Per has said in the Discord that most likely demon race next one.

Nah.

Id buy the Undead Sand People

Ogres: wound heavy with traits that are taken from other races.

Gnomes: weak front line that relies on constructs. traits enable summoned mechanical units that die after the battle ends

hope this helps

bretonnia will be nice. but for that, maybe will need a new battleline unit restriction. there will be loads of cavs.

I'll be happy as long as I can field foot knights!
