New Info about Races in GH 2017

[SaJeel]

New post from GW shows alot of new stuff but, im gonna talk about what isn't shown. 

It looks like we are going to have a consolidation of several factions, based off the table of contents. Several current factions are missing like Iron weld and I think they've been rolled in to other factions.

Factions like the Collegiate, Daughters, Ironweld, Eldritch, Warherds, are gone, probably rolled into other factions,

Something very curious is the seeming lack of the aelves, we only have Darkling Covens, and Wanderers, maybe some new is on the horizon, or are they just rolling everything into those two?

Also curious is the absence of Nurgle, there's only Skaven Pestilens and I can't imagine them rolling all of nurlge into that, maybe a new tome is on the horizon for them? 

Notice anything else interesting?

As per the other thread, Nurgle are all but confirmed thanks to Dark Imperium.

I don't think those smaller factions are gone, just that they won't have their own Allegiance Abilities. They're likely to be swept up in the 'Allies' section, although that is pure speculation.

Honestly many of these races needed to be reconsolidated. When Stormcast Extremis was rolled into regular SC, I was hopeful that process would begin for other armies.

The factions that arn't listed just won't have any unique faction abilities like Free Peoples, Slaneesh ect. They'll just have their points values like in the current General's Handbook.

The fact no Nurgle makes me sad (I was seriously thinking of a Nurgle Path to Glory warband to expand out), but hopeful it means a new Battletome soon.
