I haven't read much black library stuff or the realmwars so I didn't include them but from what I can gather Ashqy, Shyish and Ghyran seem to show up a lot with Ulgu and Hysh being pretty rare. Please correct me if I'm wrong however.

In the Realmgate War series the most prominent realms are Aqshy (start and few other pieces), Ghur (part of the Godbeast fight), Chamon (quest for Ghal Maraz and godbeast fight) and Ghyran (Alarielle rebirth). Shysh appears quite a bit in some of Josh Reynolds books (Nagash Undying King and Souls War in forefront).

I was mostly focusing on which battletomes expand on which realms indeed. I was going to included Seraphon and Pestilens but I can't remember their books really dealing with the lore of specific realms and more just general stuff.

I guess you could agree that Pestilens helps to expand on the realm of Chaos itself and how it is interacts with other realms, in which case I'd also like to add Everchosen.

You just need to look at the core book; Aqshy and Shyish (late but strong comer) are wonderfully developped; Chamon and Ghyran quite a lot, all other realms very much untouched. Even Ghur, which did have some action (but mostly irrelevant) with IJs release and Ulgu with DoK. Ulgu will be relevant when Malekith comes; Hysh is waiting for T&T. Simple as that.

The collegiate arcane faction has been folded back into the Free Peoples faction on the web store. Does this mean in future I will be able to take Collegiate Arcane in my Freeguild army without needing to use my allies allowance?

The store has no impact on rules, it's the key words you need to look at and since they don't share the faction ones they are considered allies. If in doubt, always assume the warscrolls is how to decide the rules and not any apps, pictures, indirect references or other non-rule set medium.

Edit: just realised you said "in the future" so you weren't thinking the way I was. I think whilst there is definitely a chance of that occuring, none of the store changes have yet led to anything definitive and it could merely be a way of them making it less cluttered. The fact that it came with no fanfare from GW means it's likely they don't out much weight behind those categories.

Note - All the battleforces from Christmas are now listed as "last chance to buy". Furthermore a load of specialst game stuff is last chance too - mostly card based stuff; but a huge chunk of killteam and necromunda cards and associated packs are up for the chop.

Seraphon Battleforce is already gone and several of the 40K ones are gone too. So mayhap to grab them whilst you can. There's also A Flesh Eater Courts set up for last grabs too so good to get if you're interested in them since they are getting a likely update soonish (though considering the cultist reveal today I'm wagering that might be a while off as cultists are going to be at least two or three weeks of releases. 

Haha the Squig Dice lasted long

Rolling Collegiate into Freepeoples makes a lot of sense; that said we really don't know the final fate of anything on the store. I think the christmas sort out was mostly done to make the AoS section much more navigable and easier to use which is has achieved! 

There are still things in there that are not clear. Eg Greenskins are being removed as a faction with all their models barring 1 now gone., despite them having their own tab. Meanwhile Gutbusters and Beastclaw Raiders are listed separately despite the fact that its fairly clear that they will most likely be rolled into one force (though that would be a major release for GW considering how many of the Gutbuster models are currently in resin - almost the entire army! )

Further they've mashed all the remaining Aelves into a single listing - which I'd be surprised at if they followed through with a Battletome. Personally I'd hope for them to do them in 2 blocks - Dark and Light (not just because of the history of the models, but also the designs of them in general - because unless they redesign the appearance of the dark and light are very powerfully different); with the great chance that the old wood elfs will get rolled into the light force.

Bit odd if they’re really binning a load of that Kill Team/Necromunda/Blood Bowl/AM stuff isn’t it? A lot of it only came out just before Christmas, or is it usual for things like card packs  for boxed/specialist games to be a blink and you miss them affair?

They just put on new downloads page on the community site. It would make sense to put the card packs on there if they are not going to print any more.

Genestealer Cults - pretty much going to be the next big thing any week now for at least 2 weeks of releases

Slaanesh - all but confirmed at some point and Wrath and Rapture is out

Khorne - possibly getting an update Battletome - Wrath and Rapture is out

Flesh Eater Courts - possibly getting an update - Duel kit not yet out

Skaven - possibly getting an update - Duel kit not yet out. 

 

That's how I see it, so any future release are going to be well after mid year I would wager. If GW does a major Battletome every month that's taking us into June.

Eh, I am not sure it that clear it could be just as unlikely, if we follow trends, Beastclaw and the Gutbuster have always been stated as different entry when AoS 2.0 came out by GW, unlike BoC and Gloomspite who where lump together to begin with.  Bonesplitterz and Ironjawz are also considered separate army too and I wouldn't want to merge them just because I consider it kind of lazy.

Thanks a lot for this @xking. Last 3 stories are now in Gods&Mortals, the new collection book. It helped me a lot to understand what it contained your description here. Thanks again.

I'm with you on this. I think as of now we will have 5 destruction tomes... BCR, Guts, BS, IJ, Grots... plus whatever new stuff they want to make.
