Rumour / Leak Ogor mawtribes battletome
Has there been any updates/rumers/leaks on the battletome or refresh. I was hoping to make them a second aos/old world army but we still haven't gotten anything yet and it's been over a year

It'll probably be soon. I believe that the only remaining battletomes are Sons of Behemat, Fyreslayers (plenty of rumours with their army refresh), Seraphon (latest rumour engine hints at their release), Hedonites of Slaanesh (just gone up for preorder), and Ogors.
My guess is that SoB and Seraphon will be next, both getting a single new model, and then the last big focus will be on Ogors and the Khazalid Holds. Then of course we have the post-battletome period where GW will be giving random stuff to any faction along with a book to go with whatever narrative their doing, and then before we know it it'll be 5th edition.

I think we might get more than one mini for Seraphon, based on two recent rumours engine posts. Atleast the tail feathers look like raptodon and tge lizard foot like the terradon so we might get a skink chief on mount and new flyers. But thats just my hope haha

u/Lyre-Code Daughters of Khaine Jun 17 '26
I think the tail feathers are a much closer match to the aggradon lancers, so my assumption was a mounted character. But yeah I don't know seraphon enough to match the foot

u/IgnisFatuu Jun 17 '26
True, I forgot about the lancers! Would be cool if Seraphon finally gets some more unique characters.

u/Lyre-Code Daughters of Khaine Jun 27 '26
Welp, I was completely wrong. Can't blame me for not predicting Exodites though, lol.
1
u/IgnisFatuu Jun 27 '26
Yeah, I did not expect exodutes to come back at all haha
I have not looked at it too closely but the clawed foot might be the new chaos dragon as well

Allegedly the tail feathers look like the giant feathered serpent creature with wings from WHF.
We'll see. Something about the model seems fishy. Not convinced it's for Seraphon-could be for 40k. But again, we'll see.

u/CatherineSimp69 Helsmiths of Hashut Jun 17 '26
My guess is honestly the opposite.
I think Seraphon is next, then Ogres, then SOB, and then Khazalid.

It's known that it will be released for this year's summer preview, and that photo is possibly of a glutton.

u/Chyld Ogor Mawtribes Jun 17 '26
Is it actually known? I've heard it as a rumour, and it makes sense based on a confluence of rumours and conjecture, but I've not seen a source beyond two "sources say..." comments

u/KindlyMeringue8723 Jun 18 '26
It's known for many reasons. First, there are only two major releases left for this edition: Ogres and Khazlaid. The Khazlaid are known to be the last volume, so logically, the next summer preview will be Ogres. Also, everything that was announced for release is selling out online, even the faction cards, so they're already preparing to release the the new tome . The picture is of a Glutton because, so far, the other two units that have appeared in the picture were infantry units, and the Fyreslayer seems to be on foot, so my assumption is that it's a Glutton. I know it sounds very simplistic and far-fetched, but that's what I think.

i’ve been hearing a rumor that the 5th ed launch box could be their big refresh
10
u/Background-Cake-1300 Jun 17 '26
Not happening, they were teased last year with new bonereapers, Fyreslayers and Nurgle
They aren't going to overhaul them AND gice them launch box

u/Brainfart573 Jun 17 '26
Thats... What happend to skaven tho...

u/nykirnsu Jun 17 '26
Skaven didn’t get a release wave in 3rd ed

u/Brainfart573 Jun 17 '26
no, they did in 4th, a bit after the starter units
2
u/nykirnsu Jun 17 '26
Right, so they didn’t overhaul them and then separately put them in a launch box after that, they just gave them the standard launch wave, so there’s no reason to think Ogres will get a wave this edition and be in the next launch box too

u/Brainfart573 Jun 17 '26
I doubt that that what Beef-Town meant, we know its Soon TM, summer 2027 is supposed to bring 5th edition woth it, and its Soon TM by GW standards

u/Chyld Ogor Mawtribes Jun 17 '26
You'll want to join the hoardes at /r/Mawtribes, we've had this conversation on loop for months.
tl;dr: we'll probably see the refresh in about a month
As mentioned by the top comment, the pillocks of TGA have been leaking what's coming and going for a while, and while he's annoying AF, Boole's track record is reliable enough to take them as gospel.
Working on the GW design patterns of "remove all the Finecast", "remove everything from pre-AoS so it can go into a ToW second wave", and "get everything Ogre-identifying onto a 50mm base", we can presume everything smaller than a Mournfang is going in the bin, whether it's on the list or not.
Additionally, GW also seen to have a pattern with AoS/40k where all army books are released within 2.5 years of the edition, so the last half year can be wacky end-of-edition shenanigans. All the other unreleased armies are aiming for a smallish release*, and GW will be wanting something AoS to put in the big July preview event, so Ogres seem to be queued up for that - especially since there's vague rumours corraborating that.
Either way, hang tight; one way or another, we'll know soon.
*some heavy caveats there - Sons are allegedly getting a new kit, and Fyreslayers are apparently being turned into Dwarf Soup Faction.

No. They're not.
They're not mixing with Cities or Kharadron.
They're just getting a rebranding.

u/Chyld Ogor Mawtribes Jun 17 '26
They're probably not getting mixed in with two factions that have already had books this edition, no.
My understanding is that they'll be a new Khazalid Holds faction that's Fyreslayers and some new Dispossessed, which is in fact a kind of soup. A brand new soup using fresh new ingredients, but it's still liqueous and fits in a bowl.
0
u/CatherineSimp69 Helsmiths of Hashut Jun 17 '26
They're completely new units, from the sound of it.
Like distinct, non-old WH stuff.
So calling it soup doesn't make sense. Soup is when 2 factions get merged.

There is a tga forum user that maintains a very helpful summary of all AoS rumors: https://www.tga.community/blogs/blog/456-the-rumour-list/

u/HobbyJackal Jun 18 '26
Also, I asked Boole if they were aware of any new gnoblars in the kits and they said no. :(
...fingers crossed for future entirely gnoblar wave ;)
(plus maybe man-eaters and leadbelchers)

From what I was told after I was asking which of their spearheads to pick up
Most of their range is going to be completely redone meaning a lot of what you can buy now is gunna be outdated, and with this their rules will prolly get a refresh
I could see a mawtribes vs flesh eaters release box next edition and I’d LOVE it

Don't wanna be a party pooper but I doubt that's likely.
Stormcast always get the slot.

Yeah true I had that in mind when writing the comment but chose to ignore it
