elfhead Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 If there is a new edition coming, I hope they don’t push out broken realms books in a rush like they did with psychic awakening for 40k. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there are any symbols on the book, besides the standard AoS 2 'lines' that are found on their 'generic' books like the GHB and CRB. Unless I'm missing something? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Antiguo Guardián Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 I think that the new book will be vampires. Slaanesh had their own sneak peek a month ago, and I think they will be like mechs in PA. Maybe they can have a new book for AoS 3.0. with some rules changes, so they can sell all the new range with this BR release and with their future book (bad rules will change into OP ones, and so). And this Xmas sneak peek are the new LoN/SB full army with lots of new releases. Or even two new books, new DoK vs Slaanesh or Slaanesh and Vampires book! But HoS book is from 2019 and this battletome from february probably was made for being on shops on late 2020 so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(It's on the right hand edge of the book, about 3/4 down for those who can't spot it.) However it looks to me like they're just reusing the Malign Portents graphics for this image so it may not necessarily mean anything for the mystery book's contents. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enoby Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Not to sound harsh on Death/Vampires, but I kind of hope it isn't them *if* this battletome is the only rulebook (including Broken Realms) to come out in the first two months of 2021. It's nothing against Vampires, but as a Slaanesh fan it would suck to have the models teased months in advance only to not have the release for 5+ months while another faction got a massive hype release in between. That long of a wait sucked for Lumineth and Sons of Behemat - imagine how much more it would have sucked for LRL if there had been a big Ironjawz (or whatever) release between their first reveal and their full range being released. Maybe it's selfish, but I've been looking forward to Slaanesh mortals for a long while, and *if* (key word here) it's a choice between them getting a rulebook and release in February or any new faction getting a rulebook and release in February, I'd much rather they finished off the Slaanesh release rather than leaving it out to stagnate and be passed over by the next big thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slaneesh had a battetome not too long ago, i will be VERY mad if they release a battletome for a army that is also top tier while there are some army that are rotting (Bok, sylvaneth, LoN) It would be plain unfair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Souleater Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Agreed. While I am very keen to see new Soulblight models, I would prefer GW to get the poor Hedonites done and dusted. Anticipation is one thing but at a certain point, teasing just becomes annoying. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not releasing Slaanesh models for ages after their tease (didn't work well for LRL) because they're not getting a release in January? And I really doubt GW would have February share two massive AoS releases that would likely cannibalise sales. Vampires are cool, but it's not good practise or predecent for any army to have their models teased and not released for ages, only to have another faction come out in the middle of their tease and release. Imagine if a Soulblight release was teased in March, with all but one or two models revealed. Then, in July, there's a big Seraphon release. Finally in November Soulblight comes out. Wouldn't be great, would it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right about the tease, I was so exited by lumineth and the wait killed me, but for those models I think a narrative book like broken realms (and since they are the morathi’s main antagonist it’s not that far from being real) would do the job idk, a whole battletome just to add like 2/3 units in a already strong and wide army looks wrong to me, while vampires haven’t had a good release since the beginning of aos also I would like to see a death faction that is against nagash, since if you don’t like the big boney douche you can’t find a army in death Edited December 24, 2020 by Yondaime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Under the Mountain Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 I think the Alternative is those models are released along with a Broken Realms book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Slaanesh wasn't getting models, then I would be against them getting a battletome over the more neglected factions - to be honest, these mortals were a massive surprise to me. I was fully expecting the 2019 Daemon release to be the end of Slaanesh releases for 5+ years. As we're getting a load of new stuff and apparently only one AoS rule book in the first two months, to me this is the only chance these Slaanesh models have to be released without them having a LRL style wait. That said, the current Slaanesh battletome is missing 10 non-Forge World warscrolls (or 11 if there's one more release). There are currently 18 non-Forge World Slaanesh warscrolls. They're getting about a 56% increase in the number of models they have. If they had a Broken Realms book, and it was shared with other factions, those other factions are probably going to feel a bit cheesed off as most of the book will be dedicated to Slaanesh rules and warscrolls. In addition, new Slaanesh players will feel cheesed off if they have to buy two books (broken realms and their battletome) to play their shiny new models. To put the numbers into perspective, imagine if Lumineth got added on to Idoneth Deepkin (as in, they became one faction) and they didn't get a new battletome.

Souleater Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Taking the rumours of AoS3 together with the current storyline of She-Who-Thirsts impending escape it could be that GW are or were planning to have a their mortals and a combined tome released at that point. A Hedonites vs (blank) army starter for AoS3. Personally, I would prefer Orruk vs (someone) but I understand a lot of folks want their models updated.

Just from what's been revealed, we have; Slaangors, Archers, Archers on Exalted Steeds, melee unit on Exalted Steeds, Myrmidesh, Twin Souls, Shardspeaker, Sigvald. We know there's at least one more unit coming too. I do agree otherwise, bar Nighthaunt Death have been neglected for a long time. I'm positive their day is coming in 2021.

Raviv Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Have you noticed the alternate-text for each of the advent rumour pictures? Each contains a few letters that might be an acronym for something. For example, some start with with bb which might be blood bowl. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
