Not really all the warscrolls, just here's your army rule, some stratagems and a few units. Here's an example how the 10th edition 40k faction focuses turned out: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2023/05/25/warhammer-40000-faction-focus-thousand-sons-2/ These happened between the reveal of the launch box and the week before the start of the preorders. After that, in the week before and after the preorder, we got the core rules and fulldatasheets for all the factions and in the second preorder week going up to the launch date we got points and Combat Patrol datasheets Edited April 30 by Matrindur 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I confused the actual indexes with the focuses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if you check each warehouse you will see different Spearhead/vanguards and a few sold out vanguards waiting to be removed from the store because they are Sold Out.

IronVIke Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 With the prosecutors coming in a group of 3 this starts framing up some more speculation surrounding the contents of the launch box on the Stormcast side. Dominion ---------------- New Launch Box 10x Vindictors - 10x Liberators 3x Annihilators - 3x Reclusians 3x Praetors - 3x Prosecutors Left unmatched compared to what we think may be coming Yndrasta - Hammer Hero From Artwork Leaks Lord-Imperatant - Raven Mounted Leader Knight Arcanum - I am going to guess a Knight ranked cater of some kind Knight Vexillor - I am going to guess a Knight Azyros What do you think would round out this box?

I would say the Yndastra equivalent will be the Lord-Vigilant on Gryph-Stalker, so maybe the cover hero won't be in the box.

Maybe the Reclusians count for 5 models (because of the human squires) and that's it, or at least they count for 1 SCE-sized model, so we'd only get some sort of Knight caster as you mention -which is kind of needed anyway after losing all the Sacrosanct wizards.

Maybe we have that caster/ wizard spot covered with the Knight Arcanun? We had a few of them during the 3rd edition. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still remember that the old Orcs&Goblins had rules, even featured in the second campaign (with fun rules, I miss the option to put set terrain on fire) and a Start Collecting box,. A few months later, they were removed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's called "Thingamabob" Do I find it weird? A little bit. It seems the media to drum up excitement has stalled or changed. I'm not too sure why but it implies something has happened in the background. This could be something like the release date to somebody who was dealing with this is off ill or has left. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we didn't know that the Celestant Prime is not being renewed I would say new Celestant Prime, but as Nezhil said, I would go for the new generic Endless Spells (which I just figured out that if this is a thing it has to be revealed shortly after the box as it would be needed from day one).

Well, this is assuming this is even for AoS and not something Psychic for Agents of the Imperium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandlemad Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 I think it could be pretty much any "psychic lightning ripping up the ground around the caster" swirly effect, 40k or AoS. Could be something new for skaven, even. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
