I'm confused. the rumour was that you will get armies and those will be available to purchase only for a limited time basically forced scarcity - that idea would have to begin in GW in like 2013-14 so honestly I can see it.

That's a good update on its own. There's a few conceivable slots they could have filled (vampire non-character infantry, some sort of cavalry vampire lord) but that's a very decent release, much more than was expected a few months ago. New bat swarms too got previewed in the faith and damnation online preview back in march, New mounted Wight King too. This is a pretty large single release. Looks particularly solid since the SGL are carrying over kits from legions of nagash like the corpse cart.

Basically when AoS was being leaked months before it was an announced thing, one of the bits of information was that all AoS armies would be smaller, limited time releases, in an effort to appeal to the New Army Syndrome impulse buyers (you know how every new army reveal has the slue of "OMG RIP MY WALLET!" and "I wasn't going to start an X army but now I want to!" reactions?) Whilst GW has seemingly moved away from this plan, the initial releases of Fyreslayers and mini-Chamber releases for Stormcast seem to support it. Basically Fyreslayers haven't had anything since because GW didn't ever plan on them being around for more than a year or two, at least initially. So even if GW changed tactics very early, it would still be a very long wait for anything Fyreslayer (and maybe Ironjawz/Idoneth) because we know there's around a four-year design-to-release cycle and they had no plans to make new stuff for them.

Indecisive Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I think those might be Cursed City expansion models that will be released later as just Soulblight things. They look too unique to be anything else and have quite decorative basing stuff that you'd expect from something not rank-and-file fodder.

Could even be no new faction specific tomes and just story arcs with rule updates like Broken Realms had. Wooo, goblins/small orcs with more elaborate armor would be fantastic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a thing, but because the design cycle is around four years from planning to release the wait for new Fyreslayer stuff was always going to be a very long one and might be why a lot of AoS-only 1.0 armies don't tend to see new release waves (Fyreslayers, Idoneth, Ironjawz, Kharadrons, Stormcast who aren't from brand new Chambers/one-off characters) Presumably Endless Spells/Terrain is excluded from this because they're literally Made In China, although the Dirigable Squit Edrinrigger might prove this is nonsense, but there was a three year gap between AoS release and the Kharadrons so maybe not given the lack of FS/Ironjawz/Idoneth.

One of most horrible models I ever saw, just plain ugly. Rumors are true, I guess, PP can not afford good sculpt artists anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamsesIII Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I agree with others that Soulblight Gravelords aren't in a position that's comparable to the one Lumineth Realm Lords were in. We've actually got a fairly big amount of new models (I think the issue might be that their reveal has been too spread out?) and they have a solid foundation of existing ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
