Stormfiends

[KaBandha]

Can we expect them realistically in the new dlc? Skaven are my favorite race but units like wolf-rats or giant rats don't seem interesting at all tbh. Maybe some Moulder mechanic to create stormfiends would be dope.

[(((Samurai)))]

Reasonable expectation.

Stormfiends showed up in the end times in the lore, but CA has bent the lore before to give us cool things, so maybe!

[Garatgh Deloi]

They have added a few end times units already. So yea its a possibility.

Other intriguing possibilities are Verminlords (basically Skaven deamons) & brood horrors (possibly as mounts).

(that is not to say that they are the only options, only that they are the most intriguing options in my humble opinion).

[𝒦.ℒ.ℬ.]

hope so but hoping they don't just look like the usual rat ogre mounts but with metal heads..

[JediMasterDraco]

I would think that they'd save Stormfiends as an extra selling point for when Thanquol is added as DLC for Game Three. Especially since the final Boneripper was a specially augmented Stormfiend.

stormfield, doubt it. those modified rat ogres could be in there though.

Also I think Verminlords are for game 3 with thanquol. Brood horrors have a pretty good chance I'd guess.

[Zoie Shales]

Packmasters, Giant Rats, Wolf Rats, Brood Horrors, Great Pox Rat, Stormfiends, Flayerkin, maybe Verminlords if they want to do extra.

There are enough missing moulder units to fill a dlc, and CA can always use the ones from White Dwarf or make their own up, that is the glory of Moulder, they can stitch anything to anything else and poke it into battle.

Yeah, but they have to leave something for when Thanquol gets added in Game Three.

Well, likely Thanquol will Include himself, and obviously Boneripper as a mount, I assume it will be like what Repanse de Lyonesse was.

He doesn't have to come out with additional units.

I think they will save verminlords for Thanquol in wh3

[Kaaz]

Thanquol is likely to be FLC (im thinking white dwarf promo again)

They did say a while ago (way before saying he would not be in wh2) that he would not be a FLC though.

Yeah, both Verminlords and Stormfiends are reasonable options to add with Thanquol, but Verminlords seem more apropriate to add with Thanquol generaly than to add them with any other Skaven clan. So hopefuly we get stormfiends in this dlc.

Well, I'm looking at a post from a year ago they sound like they are saying he wouldn't be FLC for one of Warhammer II's dlc, not that he wouldn't be a FLC period.

Giant rats are "cool", too. They were the first scave I ever met back in 2011, playing Warhammer: mark of chaos. Wolfrats could be RoR unit. Technically, more slender and retextured wolves (obviously, with rat head) could become giant rats. Giant female worm-like rats, stromfiends (flamethrower variant and ratling-guners as RoR variant), giant rats and wolfrats are the ones I would like to see in scaven DLC, and they must be in-game at least in game 3 for immersion and lore.
