I think they’re likely to do Heresy today since it’s Thursday, I can’t remember but I think they said there’d be a reveal too

 

Edit: They said nothing of the sort! Ignore my false info

Thursday will likely be HH but today is still Wednesday so good chance for AoS ^^

Btw, in between the line of the rumours and the off-topic, but I am working on an improved version of the Warboss Kurdan Rumour Engines site as I think the visual and the REs navigation could be improved and more information added.

Link to the awesome blog in case you didn't know it!

This is how it looks so far:



It is built following a timeline approach and includes, what I think it is, handy info like the mini name and a link to the mini on the store, the link to the RE post itself, after how many time it was resolved, and some tags.

The tags are there as I would include filters by those tags, resolved date, published date and resolved/ unresolved.

Is there anything else you would add to quickly/ easily navigate between those sweet RE?

Fantastic!

On added info, is there any way - where it becomes known - to add info about sculptors. It seems a really interesting piece of info that nobody seems to track or try to find out about.

Challenge with that, is GW don’t tell us the sculptors nowadays very often, and when they do it’s normally just a first name, and that’s only on big projects like FW Fulgrim and they told us Sam which is a nickname for Simon Egan

Old World Almanack

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2023/12/27/old-world-almanack-discover-bretonnia-a-land-of-chivalry-and-honour/

So the second TOW video will likely be the Tomb Kings equivalent which means no 2024 video for them

So we have two AoS videos and one HH video left

It would be a bit tricky to collect, as GW is not providing them anymore, but could be a nice addition indeed.

AoS today ?

Seems like we are back on the hourly(ish) WarCom articles since it's no longer Christmas, so hopefully yes.

[Matrindur]

I'm pretty sure we are getting something AoS today, but whether its the 2024 video or the second video is the other questions

That Old World update!! So hyped. Have you checked out the website? It has an interactive map now with lore on all the kingdoms and factions. Time to pour over it all!

And they update their map as well with more faction points

Okay, so not every faction has a text blurb, but interestingly, most Border Prince factions do! Have they always had their descriptions?

IMO it is new overall. We had flavoured texts here and there, but never collected all together like that.

Besides, rulers and principalities of Border Princes change very often and this is ~250 years before old WFB

From the article that shows that map, that region has been thought of as a canvas for us to create our own armies/ realms. So it wouldn't surprise me if those are not that much canon and more kind of a placeholder.

The article mentions Settra's invasion of the Border Princes and specifically brings up Cecil Gastonne, who is on the map.

 

Also something I've noted is that the map includes a Border Prince named Karolina Aquilena, who is stated to be a daughter of an infamous Bretonnian exile named Baron Carrard who went on a crusade into the Land of the Dead and earned the ire of Settra. Now Lords of the Lance, the novel they're releasing, is about a Bretonnian Duke Cyricus Carrard who goes into the Land of the Dead as a favour to Lothar Aquilena. Possible link? I guess the book will end with Carrard somehow becoming an exile and replacing Lothar as Baron of Aquilena so his daughter can inherit the title by the time The Old World starts.

In that event though, does his family still rule their land for Leofric to pass it down to his own son a few hundred years later? Maybe the family splits or the exile half of the family regains their honor and title down the road.

Age of Sigmar "What's Coming?"

 

Edited December 27, 2023 by Clan's Cynic

Definitely Callis and Toll in there.

Clearly a Nighthaunt. Warcry warband maybe?

The Chaos 'Knight' from the Advent Calendar. Lady of Ruin people theorised, was it? 

Edited December 27, 2023 by Clan's Cynic

[Lucentia]

I see Nighthaunt in there, obviously, but it doesn't look like a hero model particularly, so perhaps another new unit on the way?

There's some sort of flippy elfy acrobat figure too, but it does not look like DoK to me, potentially Lumineth I guess, they are wearing a helm/plume with some sort of animal head design.

And a cavalry model, fingers crossed for marauder/darkoath horses, perhaps?

[Chikout]

I'm seeing Callis and Toll, a DoK hero, a Nighthaunt hero and Darkoath cavalry. 

[lele]

I believe this is nighthaunt
