Are we sure that its only one  week release?

Preview says we have seen most of the models but there is "one we've been holding back" and it is the alt build for the KoS.

😂😂😂 not sure why people keep saying this - gw confirmed at the seminar that not all the models were shown in the reveals vid/pics. Far from guarantees mortals or slaangors however, could just be referring to a named kos and herald for example. 

Want to add something? 

I was expecting that. Slaanesh treated as a second-quality chaos god as always. IMHO Khorne, Tzeentch and Nurgle had way better releases.

I'm kind of surprised at the lack of dice, but then GW has always been a bit hit and miss on those (Tyranids didn't get any Dice either ages ago). Though they've been giving most AoS factions their own dice so its a bit of a surprise unless its just not in this preview.

 

The model front is exactly what I expected; no additional models and instead an alternate build on the Greater Demon and a photo (highlighting) the terrain feature. A bit of a shame, but then I think GW wanted Slaanesh out in one week not two, and adding mortals and others would likely have pushed it to a two week release

I am surprise though that if this is the whole release that didn't included many new fieldable units (just a lot of heroes, with some are re-sculpted)

the only unit models they got where the Fiends but they existed beforehand and maybe Mirror Twins if that thing turn out to be not a hero unit.

Don't forget from GW's point of view hero models are actually more of a gamble to rescast into plastic than regular units, because each of those heroes will sell only 1 time per player (expected sales at best); whilst troops (esp core troops) might see 3 or 4 times or even more to individual players. 

 

It's a good sized release, don't forget the new Keeper is a huge model and a big release for the faction; new fiends are a big improvement over the originals and we've got several new heroes in plastic (many factions are crying out for heroes in plastic instead of finecast). This basically updates all of slaanesh to a fully modern army except possibly the herald on foot, but we've no idea if that's lurking around (eg if the prince and herald is a duel kit)

Im slowly starting to think that maybe this year is about catching up on forgotten/late factions and updating old battletomes. So next year might be focused on adding models for existing factions. 

- That would explain why warscroll cards run out of print so fast.

Also, it looks like a quite a few factions could use a few more unit options.

Slaanesh mortals, Fyreslayers, FEC, Skavens (need new models), Ironjawz. Nighthaunt and Stormcast also seem to lack a scenery piece. 

So they could easily advance the story a bit while focussing on trimming recently updated factions in the year 2020. 

Just pure speculations though..

It's been confirmed, no new mortals. RIIIIIIP this release. 

Right update on the mortal front. No new mortals. 

User: Warhammer Age of Sigmar will there be mortal followers to go along with the daemons ? 

Warhammer Age of Sigmar: User there won't be any new mortal followers this week, but a whole game that follows the fortunes of six new tribes of chaos followers is on the way: https://ageofsigmar.com/warcry/
