Also have there been any rumors for Idoneth?

Sadly nothing, they still have the oldest tome in order grand alliance and 1 of one of the oldest from whole. It is still working quite good for them tho but it would be nice to see some more models from them not only Underworlds warband. As it is beast season they could maybe get something big, or I just hope they will :D. Also nothing on rumor engine pics indicate something coming from them :(

I am increasingly convinced that my initial guess was correct, and that “available to order in August” literally meant August 28th and release September 4th.

We’ve got 40k this weekend, and surely followed by Kill Team as they are pushing out articles for that every day now. There’s also more 40k orks and underworlds was announced as an August preorder too.

So I assume 40k, Kill Team, Underworlds (to break it up), 40k again, then finally AoS. It’s a damn long wait from May, when some of these models were first previewed (14 weeks).

Do you think Underworlds will release before the new Tomes? Its name has yet to even be announced.

Swear to god GW needs to do a preview ASAP! We're going mad and going over old info and speculation in the hope someone has something that resembles concrete.

In fairness we go mad on such things about 5 mins after GW does a preview anyway ;)

True, but that madness has some focus to it! We go mad trying to figure out the rules and moaning about our poor wallets, not due to the fact that Lumineth players are salty we like to rip their faction a new one.

I can't wait for new beasts of chaos! I should buy shaggoth and dragon ogors, but since the rumor says they are coming in October, I will be patient. 

I wish new rumors about beast of chaos..

I wish for new rumors about Chaos Dwarfs, the teasing GW has done has made me even more certain that they're gonna be the newest faction to come out. I'm also counting the days till September, when CA will reveal Cathay(hopefully with a Sun Wukong(Monkey King) Beastman character).

You mean I'm like an aelf? Oh my God, thank you for the identity crisis! 😱. Untold hours with the shrink down the drain, great. 😎👍

Okay, I'll get right off your back, sorry. I just think the whole Lumineth (and Slaanesh, although they've waited an eternity) phase in 2.0 has been vastly out of proportion in terms of release size and timing compared to all other factions in the game (outside of SC, Nighthaunt and Khorne), especially when so many other factions got terrible minis in their range or not enough kits to feel like a proper army.

To be fair, this is not the player's fault but until GW finally releases all the other factions, I'll be pretty negative to all huge out-of-order releases. Compare Lumineth to say FS, IJ, DOK, Sylvaneth, etc. and it feels like favoritism. Hell, I'll even argue against a huge Tzeentch wave (the only faction in AoS I truly care about) as long as we got no Skaven, BoC, Cities of Sigmar, Seraphon, more Dwarves, Malerion first...

 

Hey, thanks for getting off that thing ;). And it's fine. Let's just try to keep things friendly and civil. :)

And I do get the frustration. What I really love about Age of Sigmar is the colorful and imaginative diversity of it all. And I wish all factions would grow equally. But it's not fair towards fans of Lumineth to let it out on us if we happen to be lucky and get new toys earlier. 

Of course you're welcome to voice your feelings, but maybe try to direct the salt at our evil overlords from Nottingham instead of your brethren from the realm of light. ;)

Beasts of Chaos and Ogors are what I'm most excited about this Edition.

ACTUAL RUMOUR TIME:

According to Glass half dead the number one Kill Team Youtuber, that game will go up for pre-order on August 14th for £125. Not only that but it will be a two week pre-order like Dominion was. 

Unfortunately that means the battletomes will be on the 28th with a release in September. 

The good news is that there's still time to show some Kruleboyz cavalry.

Even if it pops up the 14th with 2 weeks preorder that does not rule out an AoS preorder for the 21st. So far it seems to only really be major 40k and AoS releases that exclude on another from the same preorder window, not the specialist games-

Considering they have already previewed battletome rules and dragged this on for weeks, most likely also being a staggered 2 week release, it seems very late if the first wave is not for preorder before the 28th.

Just came across this on facebook, probably just coincidence but what a coincidence if BoC have been rumoured to be next and they're not shown in the 'getting started' booklet. I want to believe.

While I'd love new BoC models, I also wouldn't be surprised if GW just forgot about BoC on these pages :(

Two weeks for kill team are you kidding me GW.

This is almost as bad as the dragged out LRL release but at least that had Covid as an excuse. This is a deliberate marketing strategy.

This has given me high hopes for the Beasts!! After all this Edition is Era of the Beast, if they dont give the Beasts of Chaos at least a few new units, if not a full range refresh then I dont know what to think!!

Nice at least we'll be seeing it soon. I'll be saving up ready for when Kriegsmen drop separately and the Templars alongside, but really nice for everyone looking to get the Kill Team box. 

If there's a stop gap in those 2 weeks, perhaps we'll get another preview then?

Sounds like a perfect time for a Preview to me!!

Yes it is a deliberate marketing strategy, from a company who exist to make money, what are the chances

In other, less predictable, news, WH + is 25th August according to the article on the new Masterclass
