The Rumour Thread

I did notice that some of the models rumoured to leave CoS are included in the old world. Could the Aelves be returning to Sylvaneth within a Kurnoth subfaction?

Some of the "wanderers" kits are the same age as some Sylvaneth kits like the Treeman. I would feel weird for GW to scrap them now. I think a return to the OW is pretty likely, and I feel like some of the most fantastical units of that range, like the wild riders/sisters of the thorn could make their way into Sylvaneths. What backs this imo is that some Sylvaneth minis (I think arch revenant and one of the dragonfly cavalries) have helmets that looks just like those of wild riders. Hence why I think those particular minis could be recycled with no problem into Sylvaneth.

As for all the other surviving wood elves kits, I have no clue. But they look less "Sylvaneth compatible".

I miss Whitefang, its been a while since we had a good rumour.

The thing i want to know most of all is if we are getting another army or complete rework of an older army at the end of this edition or not. Mostly because we already got seraphon and CoS is up next and those are some huge releases already.

We know something Kurnoth is brewing somewhere and some mentions of Chorfs and Malerion have been thrown around. Its just hard to tell nowadays if a runour is AoS, Underworlds or Warcry (or old world).

I'm honestly quite impressed there's not loads of Tyranid rumours doing the rounds. Everything feels very quiet on the rumour front in general right now.

Good point on the wild riders. I always thought they looked somewhat similar to revenants. I do wonder how they would fix that lore wise. They would have to leave CoS and Wanderers would be squated and somehow some units would cross over to Sylvaneth.

Wild riders were a big part of the wild hunt led by Orion so if Kurnoth returns then it wouldn't be a big step yo move them across to Kurnothi and the wild hunter, in particular those aelves that worship Kurnoth. Although I'm hoping we get reimaged wild riders on bigger bulkier stags if that was the case.

As a fan of weird spooky fey, I maintain that the fact that Wild Riders aren't Sylvaneth is a crime.

I am just excited at the prospect of a new Cities reveal tomorrow... Oh how badly I want it to be a city Duardin or Aelf. I know the rumours are not in favour of either but if it is a canon with a Duardin crew member or a new one off Aelven hero I could feel more assured that we will see Cities keep an integrated approach to their forces.
Extra excited if it were to be the rumoured City Ogors that work for Maneaters!

New Underworlds starter and Headsman's Curse next week, no Harbingers yet. 

Oh and Yndrasta's special edition book.

I didn't realize that Noah Van Nguyen wrote Yndrasta. I will definitely pick it up now if it comes to Audio Book. 

[Matrindur]

No Harbringers is sad but expected but also no mention of a reveal tomorrow which makes me think it will just be bloodbowl or necromunda again if they even show something

I'm thinking Cities reveals will follow a similar pattern to Squats last year, with them putting out a reveal every 2 weeks/other specific span of time leading up to a reveal show to show off the Army Set/rest of the kits.

Also, this is the most hyped I've been for a release in forever. Every mini they've shown so far has been absolutely amazing, and I can't wait to see what else we'll be getting. Especially excited for the potential center-piece big artillery and war altar!

I could be remembering wrong, but I think they occasionally just dropped some of the Votann reveals on Mondays without specifying they/40k would be getting one.

Seraphon also got their reveals every two weeks so pretty likely

I never realised that the Votann, and Seraphon, reveals were released every two weeks (whereas I spend my time trying to guess future release dates by scrutinising old ones 😆). Many thanks to both of you for the info : i'm suddenly looking forward to 5 June !

I am getting more and more excited for them, I have never been a fan of the common soldier thing in Fantasy but their armour and aesthetic are so on point and I have always wanted to make a Nighthaunt/City army and I am falling in love with these models. I also just completed my Stormcast army so I feel like I have a leg up in starting a Cities army through the use of Coalition units. Of course I stupidly let my friend convince me to get into 40k with the upcoming of 10th edition and feel like I am at model saturation point haha

I had a feeling it was him when I read the book summary that it’s focused on a Ghur mobile city that rides around on a giant sled to escape monsters like the giant kraken that’s chasing it.

The man is quick becoming a pseudo-Josh Reynolds on how much he embraces the glorious weirdness of the Mortal Realms and wants to play around with them(like in a podcast starring him he said how even when there’s a sentient mountain that teleports to different realms on a whim of it’s own that should just be a another average Tuesday for the people that run into it)

Very much loving his works! 🤩

Godeater's Son was also fantastic. Yndrasta favourite stormcast character, so pretty excited about this one.

Not too surprised to see a lack of substance in next week's preorders. Getting the Plague Marine heroes set is nice, and the new Underworlds Starter set isn't bad, along with the Nighthaunt crew. 

Basically, from here, preorder of 10th is likely to be, well, ironically, on June 10th, with a 2 week preorder period. We MAY get something small on the 17th, but traditionally the in-between week is empty with extra encouragement to order the big box (which is always hilariously frustrating when GW sells out of said box).

At long last, release of 10th and Leviathan will be the 24th, with much hype about the rules and indexes online.

THEN we might see Harbingers and/or the next General's Handbook preorder on either that 24th (unlikely as it would distract from 10th launch, where many stores will have boxes to sell day-of) or the 1st of July, to give space between the massive focus on 40k over the entire month of June.

Then, through July GW will be pushing the Combat Patrols, possibly revealing the 10th ed starter sets (3 different sizes as they have done with the past editions) and teasing upcoming new models for Space Marines and Tyranids as their Codexes will likely drop mid to late July. 

Could always be surprised by how they reveal or release things over the next month, but I wouldn't hold your breath. You'll be mighty blue in the face by the tine the end of June comes around. It's always possible GW will tease or release things for other game systems, but GW NEEDS this Leviathan box to sell out. Whether it happens in 5 minutes, 5 hours, or 5 days doesn't really matter. Long story short, don't expect much else this coming month. Build your models, paint your models, plan your armies, play some games.

The space marine and Tyranids codex are coming in the autumn. 

I don't think there is any fear of Leviathan not selling out, let's just hope they've learnt from Imdomnus (not enough) and Dominion (to many) and strike the balance where its available for a month or so before selling out.

Thanks! I love to maintain the list.

If anyone want to know, the kits that could be launch this summer are:

- Seraphon Vanguard

If they stick with form they will also do three smaller starter sets for 40k and a stop gap summer release of a few marine and Nid kits. For AoS we got the Stormcast chariot and the Mirbrute Troggoth in that window.
