Sent my inside source an e-mail a few days ago, he sent me this information back. Looks like BoC will be getting a new monster in the BoC army book. He told me every new play testing list, has this new monster in it. He told me that GW is pushing it down the play tester's throats. That there is even a model for it, so he says it's going to happen 100%.
It's: M8 WS5 S5 T5 W5 I3 5A on a chariot base. armour piercing, S4 or S5 breath weapon [depends on what play testing list] it's either stubborn or unbreakable [depends on what play testing list] It can also be given diffrent marks: Slaanesh: always strike first Nurgle: extra wound or posion attacks [depends on what list] Khorne: S6 and frenzy Tzeentch: 5+ ward save At last I was able to give out some good news on BoC, remember I broke this news first!

This sounds like it is the rumoured Gorgon, a fire breathing monster bull... This is the first I've seen on anything more than a name, so a big thanks for that.  -------------------- 668 the Neighbour of the Beast

He said it has armour piecing claws, think more like like Slaanesh Daemons then a bull! [but could be wrong]

ah! you refer to the new Scorpigor? It does look interesting. Does anyone know how to get hold of the current designers? I want them to give raiders a new rule to demonstrate the intimidating charge of a beast herd. Any unit that is charged by a raiders unit that doesn't make a flee reaction must reform and assume a formation with no more than 4 files ride. It would be the sweetest revenge  But seriously, if this creature is going to be included in the new book I'm very excited to see the model and fluff. It sounds kind of like a giant fiend of slaanesh at the moment (the one with the claws and tail!) -------------------- Daftgor (the friendly neighbourhood troll)

I have a distinct impression that this is going to be in place of a shaggoth. If you take that one step further that means we lose the dragon ogres too. I would give it about a 90/10 split that we lose all things dragon ogre in the new book, because there are no forest in the mountains.

In addition to a new monster, which I now know BoC are getting, I'd like to see gargoyles! A cool flying unit to replace furies.

Sounds interesting. The tzeentch mark makes it l;ooke like the ward save is a certanty for us.

Hey, GoC, me old mucker, mate!
Could you ask your informant if it looks like centigor will be getting fast cav and if they'll still have ranged options? Cheers! and thanks for the rumours! -------------------- Daftgor (the friendly neighbourhood troll)

That was the first thing that I thought too. I've got my fingers crossed though that the marks for units and characters stays pretty much the same and that this will just be that effect of marks on this paricular monster.  |

I seriously hope it gets an armor save, otherwise it'll be extremely easy to kill.

Sounds fun.
Looks like a good start for the 7th ed beasts. The breath weapon makes it plausible that this is the Gorgon. I guess we'll know more when the first pictures of minis start leaking. -------------------- As happy as a Nurgling in a bucket of poo

I hope it's not simply some sort of bull mutant. BOOORRRRIIINNNGGG. WE already have those. Would much rather prefer a Chimera or Jabberwock, or at least a Gorgon that looks a lot different to a raging bull...

What changes/additions would you like to see in the new, updated Army Book?
