The Treelord kit is also from end times right? I think that one is staying for a while too.

If it is interesting I used this forum that is super complete (as well as other sources) to look for the kits for sale in the store: Games Workshop Fantasy Releases Timeline | The Eighth Edition For Life (EEFL) Warhammer Forum (freeforums.net)

Talking about daemon releases, I wonder if we would see any new types of Daemons. As far as I can see, there have been very few new types of daemons released since the very start, 30+ years ago. 

 

Realm of Chaos: Slaves to Darkness describes the servants of Khorne/Slaanesh:

The Bloodthirsters, Greater Daemons of Khorne.

The Bloodletters, Lesser Daemons of Khorne

The Fleshhounds, Creatures of Khorne

The Juggernauts, Steeds of Khorne

The Keepers of Secrets, Greater Daemons of Slaanesh

The Daemonettes, Lesser Daemons of Slaanesh

The Fiends, Creatures of Slaanesh

The Mounts of Slaanesh, Steeds of Slaanesh

 

Realm of Chaos: The Lost and the Damned describes the servants of Nurgle/Tzeentch:

The Great Unclean Ones, Greater Daemons of Nurgle

Plaguebearers, Lesser Daemons of Nurgle. 

Nurglings, Daemonic Servants of Nurgle

Beasts, Creatures of Nurgle

The Lords of Change, Greater Daemons of Tzeentch

The Pink Horrors/Blue Horrors, Lesser Daemons of Tzeentch

Flamers, Creatures of Tzeentch

Discs, Steeds of Tzeentch

 

Outside of these, I can think of

 

Screamers of Tzeentch (unmounted discs?)

Brimstone Horrors of Tzeentch

Plague Toads (FW), creatures/steeds of Nurgle.

Rot Fly, steeds of Nurgle. 

Furies - Unaligned

Daemon Brutes (FW) - Unaligned?

The interesting thing is that the memorians and the cover star confirm that there are models in the box which weren't in the video. We're definitely getting some more heroes for each side. The big question is whether we're getting another unit for Skaven. I'm pretty confident there won't be 40 clan rats. Recent boxes have aimed for variety. It wouldn't surprise me if we see a unit of stormvermin or acolytes. The other option is a larger rat ogre unit with pack masters similar to the reclusians.

This could throw away the theory about a box with scenery on it. Unless they go wild with the launch box.

Interesting insight.
Would you consider chucking it on sheets and sharing so that we can do some different analyses and what not?

Yeah. That was the initial plan, but I finished it right before going to bed yesterday. Here it is: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MciOc6Sfgwe17zICxG3DSAnIgHMKy6KeGM5egSuFCCI/edit?usp=sharing

Bear in mind some years could not be 100% accurate, as I noticed some years in the sprue say the year before the announcement, but for the purpose that I had in mind, it is doing its job.

Yeah Im pretty sure there is only the Tyrant, Bloodpelt Hunter, Gorgers and Mawpot.

Unless we are counting Underworlds Warbands as well. 

3 Editions of AOS and Ogors have had 2 Hero models and a Terrain piece for mainline AOS. 

Everything that is for sale in the store under the Ogors category. Made it easier for me.

Very eager to see if today's sunday preview will feature kroot and a skaven reference for tomorrow's Monday Reveal.

With the lack of DB short I doubt we will get DB 6, especially as we got AoS last week.

Perhaps, but we just got AoS last week and the 40k meta-thint with all the new points is due in a few days

I don‘t think a range extension for daemons is likely, they are pretty complete overall, especially because each God has to have basic troops and specialists so there is little room for more. Doesn‘t mean that there won‘t be anything new but I think that‘s more along the lines of a unit here or there. 
 

The only way they would really introduce a bunch of kits would be by making more unaligned daemons and while we saw some of those in HH, I‘m not sure they gonna go in that direction on a bigger scale. Unaligned daemons would be the most „standard“ cookie cutter daemons and since GW wants to make their IP more unique than less unique, I doubt such a move. Perhaps the Malerion faction will get something daemon-like, they‘re said to lean into shadow-daemon/draconic themes. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Biggest error I see is that a bunch of Khorne Bloodbound from early AoS launch are listed as Fantasy Kits. Of those, only Skarr Bloodwrath, the Skullreaper/Wrathmonger dual kit and the Bloodthirsters were released in Warhammer Fantasy End Times.

If you can specify the names I will sort it. Khorne is the one I had more problems finding the dates.

I guess they have to be in this bracket:

I got the dates form the sprue straight from the GW pics.

Oh my goodness, I completely forgot there will be new Stormvermin!! After the Clanrats, I'm sure they're going to look menacing!

Wonder if they going to do the same thing as did with Clanrats and with the customization make some of them appear like their from a different clan 

GW reveals new Age of Sigmar Skaven clanrats, yes-yes!

As they are supposed to be more armoured, I bet it is not that obvious.

Interesting. I still wouldnt count the Warbands but I did forget the new Mawpit.

Kragnos I also dont count as he was a Hero for the Alliance, its like saying why is everyone complaining Fyreslayers didnt get a new unit they can take a Mega Gargant.

What can we expect for the preorder announce today ?

Is it too soon for the Lady of ruin? other?

I was convinced DB 6 and Abraxia were coming last week, but the lack of shorts and the fact that we got already AoS make me think it will be pushed to the next week.
