Is there anything else than what's in the article? It looks like they're releasing everything in a single week, showing once again that GW's release schedule for the next few months is packed to the brim!

There's a new vehicle that they showed off last week, the medical unit and his assistant and also the models from the previous duel release (wolves and cultists). So there's enough for 2 solid weeks of releases for them, Personally I think if GW can ensure at least 1 new Battletome per month for the year we'll be in a really strong position for AoS come the end. 2 a month every so often would be great and there's certainly some that could be updated without releasing many if any new models.

Captain Marius Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Well the last three years have had no battletomes in the last 4 months of the year, and last year saw 7 books released so with gitz out id expect only 5 or 6 more. GW are pretty good at doing the unexpected tho so heres hoping for more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if he was one of the souls imprisoned in the Great Oubliette. If so, then he could return as character in AoS. Also at the end of the dread solstice campaign the "Anvils of the Heldenhammer" were specifically called out as being hugely expanded. With with heroes trapped since before the Age of Myth and the there is the last part "None can say what fate the Mortal Realms will face in the dark days to come, and all attempts to unseat Nagash have failed, but at least the forces of Order, Destruction and Chaos alike will face the looming darkness with their greatest heroes restored to them." We could see some new Anvils of the Heldenhammer named characters this year. Let‘s hope so! Edited January 27, 2019 by JackStreicher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to display AoS books and 40k books together, I like the genres separate but with the odd numbers (I didn't want to buy all 10) on the spine they will look out of place if placed apart on the shelf. I ran out of space ages ago and some of my 40k books sit next to my AoS rulebooks now and it makes me mad just looking at it! Can't wait to get some new shelf space in the summer and rearrange everything back to it's own shelves! Sing it! I'm so with you. Everything in its place, especially books. Heck, I have four distinct game rooms to keep the streams from crossing. One each for 40K/Epic/Kill Team, AoS, Arcadia Quest/Zombicide/Massive Darkness, and "board-ish" games like Blood Bowl/Underworlds/Monsterpocalypse. No mixing! Good luck with your new shelves. 😁 Edited January 27, 2019 by Sleboda 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got the "Deeper Shade" https://www.blacklibrary.com/warhammer-age-of-sigmar/featured/advent-2018-5-a-deeper-shade-eshort.html "The learning" https://www.blacklibrary.com/new-titles/warhammer-age-of-sigmar/eshort-the-learning.html "From the deep" https://www.blacklibrary.com/new-titles/exclusives/eshort-aos-from-the-deep.html "The sea taketh" https://www.blacklibrary.com/new-titles/warhammer-age-of-sigmar/the-sea-taketh-eshort.html They're all short stories however. So "From the Deep" and "The Deeper Shade" do not feature deepkin at all. "The Sea Taketh" is great. A kharadron steals something from the lost city of Aighmar and the deepkin pursue him. Generally very creepy. My criticism would be some of the description is rushed or vague, particularly of the city at the end. Also the deepkin lose a bit of mystery when there is a sky chase between a gun hauler and a turtle that came off as silly. Probably a solid 3.8/5 "The Learning" I didn't like at all. Lots of lore inconsistencies. It says that deepkin can't tame beasts without breaking their spirits, but in the battletome it says they can build bonds with intelligent beasts. It also said the cythai were silver helms and dragon knights, which makes no sense. Generally not that great setting. 2/5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they focus on some other factions, and pepper in a few hero's for stormcast instead. Maybe some that buff the less desirable units, spread the list diversity around well allowing for some cool narrative mixed with solid rules.

I was crazy disappointed in that one given how awesome David Guymer did writing TST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghark Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Not really a rumour here, but while browsing artstation to get awesome AoS & 40k themed wallpaper, I ran into the full Carrion Empire cover which was already shown in a video, but this time in bigger resolution here.

Bradipo322 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 For those who are unaware the "Tome Celestial" contained in the White Dwarf of february has 4 Stormcast battallions. 4 really bad battallions. One battallion is a mega-battallion (it looks cute for narrative battles and nothing else), one battallion can't be played at 2000 points (it requires too many heroes) and the other two are on the bad side of battallions. I haven't seen the point cost of those battallions, there may be none, so for most of us is useless stuff. And please stop wining about new Stormcast stuff, it feels really bad to be "hated" so much. Seeing the trend I fully expect GW to develop Stormcast into Space Marines (something like different stormhosts as opposed to differet chapters). It will happen, it's not a matter of if but when. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
