Rumours are pointing to Empire and Chaos. I’m not at all opposed to this. Empire warrior priests need some minor adjustments to bring them in-line with 8th ed magic and their infantry could use a few tweaks.

Chaos needs a bit of a fix. They pay quite a bit for their lords…but at the end of the day they are just slightly too hard to kill when given the right combination of wargear and marks. A smaller war-gear pool and a slight point adjustment to Marauders would be nice (they cost the same as V.C. skeletons). I’d also like to see Dragon Ogres and Trolls be made more attractive.

Lizardmen do well enough in this edition, not too worried about them. Wood Elves and Bretonians will be MIA for a while I’m afraid.

Thing is though, I’m pretty sure Bretonians could be playable in the right hands. I felt that they were slightly overpowered in 7th ed. You moved forward and armies crumbled. The nerf going into 8th was huge and people reacted to that by selling off all their Bretonian stuff…but I think they still work. Not a brainless slog forward anymore, but an army that can still hit hard.

Yeah, we can probably discount any Chaos rumours at this point too…. I think most of them came from a recently “discredited” source.

You can’t really go on what is weakest as being the only indication though, being the weakest often means GW might leave them for a bit to make money on one that will sell better as it has people playing it currently, as well as people coming back to it. A better indication is what/how many rumours there are for the army. There are actually some on warriors of chaos which seems odd considering they dont play badly.
