You all love this arguments cause it makes you hope of a wave of miniatures release. All rumours point the fact it will be a "battletome only" release. Don't bend the reality to make it fit to your dreams or you'll be disapointed.  

at least i'll be excited until that time ;)

So are we expecting CoS and Warclans this weekend or the next one? 

At this point it could be whenever, I was expecting them to already have been released, but now I am starting to think they might be vastly delayed to later in the year. It could happen next week though, but GW seems to focus on upcoming space marine chapters and the psychic expansion, so after beastgrave this week, I would expect something 40k revealed as the next preorder on sunday, unfortunately...

GW considers both underworlds and warcry releases as "AoS" so we have been without any cool new stuff for a long long time for those of us who do not care at all about these side games.

Gw has said they are doing the next phoenix rising preview next Monday so we won't see that until at least two weeks after beastgrave. It is possible that we will see the next marines release but gw seems to want to space them out. I am about 95% certain that cities of sigmar, orruk warclans or both will be the next release.

Do you have a source for this rumour?? Don't want any "my uncle works for GW" stuff either!

 

😋

In one of the recent GW news posts on the community website they specifically said that Orruks and Cities of Sigmar were coming before Bonereapers. We also know that Bonereapers are set for an October release. Now that might mean pre-orders in the last week of October at the latest for Bonereapers. The Saturdays (pre-order days) from October are the:

5 12 19 26

So if Bonereapers appeared on the LAST week for pre-order that would be the 26th, which would mean the other two Battletomes could go on pre-order at the latest on the 19th of that month. 

 

Now this is all worst-case situation assuming GW remains on target with their marketing that Bonereapers comes in October. Now considering that the 26th is the last weekend in October its more likely that Bonereapers will go on sale that day at the latest (even if its only the first wave). So that gets a week better and could have the two new battletomes on sale on the 19th (pre order on the 12th)

 

 

Basically any time in the next 4 weeks or so.

So what do we think of this? Hints towards magic so possibly something to do with the psychic awakening but I’m hoping this is Aelves

Hard to say, doesn't really match anything I've seen. It looks vaguely Aelvish, but I will point out that elf gems are usually round rather than square, for whatever that's worth.

Warp entities != chaos gods. Chaos gods are a very specific set of warp entities that follow a bit different rules than other warp entities.

Ooh, do you have any more information on the distinction? I'd been under the impression that it was mainly how they were perceived by their worshipers, and how they behaved with regards cooperating with other powers which divided things like the Elven/Eldar gods from the Ruinous powers?

Ogors as one of the next WHU Warbands?

Artwork in the game is typically representative of the Warbands. Beastgrave contains artwork for a Hunter and Frost Sabre.

Nice find!

I'd say that definitely confirms the rumored Ogor Hunter/Kitty warband.

Which means the rumor so far has been...fairly accurate?

Quote

I did hear some time back there were maybe 10 warbands this season (although I think 2 are from dreadfane as they were SE & NH), the others were (IIRC) DoK, Ogrurrrs (specifically 1 hunter and 1 or 2 animals), Wanderers, FeC (or might have been free peoples I can't remember), Seraphon, Slaanesh, Nurgle and another skaven. I myself would have liked Idoneth but this is a pretty nice mix of stuff, and at least no more Khorne or excessive SE.

So from the rumor (which was a little before Beastgrave was announced)

Dreadfane Stormcast/NH

Wanderers (Kurnothi)

FEC (Accurate)

Seraphon

DOK

Beastclaw hunter (Accurate)

Nurgle (Accurate)

Slaanesh

Skaven

Actual so far:

Kurnothi

Beast of Chaos

Gitmob

Beastclaw Raiders

Orruks

Nurgle

Flesh Eater Courts

That leaves just one unrevealed warband, assuming the usual 8+Dreadfane.  I'm going to guess one more Order warband, hopefully Seraphon to go with the overall Beast theme but who knows really.

From the art of the cards:

-Kurnothi

-Beast of Chaos

-Gitmob

-Beastclaw Raiders (hunter)

-Orruks (Ironjawz)

-Nurgle (if the big woman with horns is a nurgle shaman/wizzard/whatever)

-Flesh Eater Courts

-DoK (SoS).

( 8 bands, No seraphon....)

Unless it's a gem from the Realm of Light, where the artwork has lots of crystals.....  Last Aelvish Faction inbound?

Well there are a couple artworks that made me go hmm.

There are a few of Grots running around on foot, specifically one dropping Caltrops. I'm wondering if that goes with the Ogor Hunter.

This one is different to the Wolf Rider ones in that it doesn't have body armour.

There's also some really interesting large beast silhouettes. I'm assuming these are just general flavour for the realm of beasts29-BG-ENG.png.abf2bd7b0914bcda0a92596b6a335a59.png

I'm still leaning towards an elder exodite release. The dino tail from the other unsolved rumour engine. I also believe we will see the announcement for battletomes on Sunday.

That would leave for the rest of the year: bonereapers, sisters, psychic awakening (which looks to be a staggered release), the chaos battletome and there is still more to come from specialist games like the lizardman blood bowl team,  more aeronautia and shadepspire. And the normal Xmas bundles. 

Seems the rest of 2019 is shaping up nicely!!
