I have some doubt about the Darkoath as well, it doesn’t seem like the kind of thing that would fit in line with what they’ve been doing in new armies.  I suppose the other possibility is they borrowed all the Herald models from future projects, not necessarily from future armies, and the warqueen is from a new specialist/boxed game, like a new Warhammer quest (much like the Darkoth chieftain..)

On the contrary i think its perfectly in line with that they are doing.

The Darkoath are you everyday average joe of the realms who fell to the temptation of chaos. They will be able to expand the story of the average joe and how chaos is a part of their life and how they fall etc etc.

It's strange, some of the SCE kits (mainly 3 bowgun dudes, the artillery piece and the lady on the lion drake) have scenic bases. 

Also four of the Banshee. 

There is a picture of the 3 other lion drake without such scenic base...

Also the new Cairn Wraith have apparently normal and mask+sword option. 

And the Black coach "rider" also has two face options, it seems.

the Setting does need a mortal human presence and I think Darkoath is a good place to start

New Darkoath model has been spotted !

? 

Joke aside, IIRC that was the plan : a faction of Order, common barbarian to represent Sigmar's tribes. 

Now, after the catastrophic end of the Age of Myths and the 500 years of the Age of Chaos, it's only normal to show them as not-really-corrupted-but-already-on-the-dark-side, basic-but-savage humans. 

(We have many Slaanesh rumors but also 40k World Eater with Angron this year (to go along Orks and Space Wolves maybe - so the "pure" AOS Chaos release this year may be Darkoath).

Maybe the top one is a skirmish model.

 

The Nighthaunt seem to have two warbands, and the stormbros do to

Or he is a special character. Somehow I don't see mounts in shadespire, though it would be nice to see mounted warbands

@Kaleb Daark yeah it's strange : 

The Shadespire-like scenic bases SCE are too many to be a Shadespire war band (also they do not look like the card artworks from Adepticon) : 

3 Sacrosanct Judicators, 1 Gryph-Hound, 1 Ballista, 2 servants, and 1 Lady Wizcast on a celestial lion lizard (as shown above the apparently normal 3-models celestial lion lizard SCE do not have scenic bases). 

On the other hand the Nighthaunt seems to only have 4 models with scenic bases (4 Banshees). 

EDIT : oh no I saw 2 more, at least 2 new Wrait on steeds, with Scenic bases. Really intriguing ! 

I guess this will be another, smaller starter kit (a mix of Know Now Fear and Exclusive Plague Brethren maybe ?)

Careful. One of the female stormcast mages was dispalyed twice, one of them had a stormspire esque base and the other didnt.

Are you sure ?

Looking at the pictures on Facebook, War of Sigmar and here, and the WHTV trailer, I'm pretty sure regarding the Lion that only the Lady with some crystal in her hand has a scenic base... (there also is a lady in the 3 models lion drake unit but without the crystal, in a different pose).
