May be we can receive news spearhead box for Warhammer World.

True. It is a good point. Showcasing new Spearheads and even hinting its game mode rules and/or dropping a date to put for sale the ones they announced already.

Go GW, give me my drug. It is Dawnbringers' short day.

I don't think we got one last week. That might mean no more until they are building up to the next book? 😔

Yeah, but how much can you delay them? We would end up overlapping with the 4th ed box content if they don't speed up.

I wouldn't put too many hopes or hypes on Warhammer World, tho. Yes, as I said, they revealed O'Shovah and Arks of Omen IV last year, but remember: that was it. There were only two reveals more with the new 2 miniatures and AoS factions for 2nd.

I'm now expecting just the mecha ork, a Blood Bowl team, and perhaps a new mini for Dawnbringers V, and that's it.

Have to safe the bigger guns for Adepticon!

They usually announce Dawnbringer shorts in the Sunday preview at the very end. 
 

I’d imagine they begin next week, however they could break the cycle of 5 with each.

I mean is the death protagonist not Krethusa the Croneseer? She worships/is the avatar of/is maybe actually, Morai-Heg. who is an Elven death/fate god, an purportedly helps the good guys out. The cult of aelves that splinter off from DOK, that worship Morai-Heg, would essentially be Death Elves.

what if Krethusa became an Aelf leader for Cities of Sigmar (so 1st named  character for aleves in Cos). she is an outcast.

evidence of Zenestra being somehow aligned with Death has been there since she was announced.

and unless there's been other breadcrumbs elsewhere DB 3/4 seems to heavily suggest the Skaven are gnawing their way into Shyish en masse--to the point where Nagash's forces have to pull back offensives AND put aside infighting. Even if Skaven attack a different realm, there is no way they won't be in Shyish too.

Death being put on the backfoot by Skaven could open up another alliance with Order, whether through Zenestra or not.

Wouldn't it be interesting if GW went with the narrative that Nagash's defeat has weaken his grip over the death faction as a whole, allowing them to assert more individuality and deviate from his overpowering will?

Imagine Bonereapers who no longer hold any particular enmity with the living? Cunning and duplicitous vampires who nevertheless see an alliance with Order to be in their best interests? Nighthaunt no longer trapped by the vindictive judgment of Nagash, able to embody more of their former personalities? 

No need to change FEC, their lore is already perfect.

I doubt GW would really go for it, but what a fun narrative twist it would be! Made all the more tragic by Nagash's inevitable return to power, when he would reassert dominance and strip the individuality and independence away from them again. (Though perhaps he never regains total control? Much more interesting that way.)

Of course this would be much, much better for the setting and all the factions involved. "All Death factions under Nagash" is an extremely limiting and dull concept. As much as I despise the current iteration of Teclis, I am also very happy that he removed Nagash, even if only temporarily.

@Ejecutor : A unique case in the rumour engines' history : the one nobody had seen for months !

An eagle-eyed chap pointed it out to Warboss Kurgan, another RO specialist (it come from an objective marker from Killzone : Bheta-Decima) :

Thanks! Coincidently a couple of days ago I added a bunch of new data into my data source and I was checking it all and I looked at this one for a bit because apart from the rumored Spider Incarnate one it was the other pending RE from 2022.

Updating it now!

After updating it... it gives more credibility to the rumour of the lost incarnate, IMO. Such a big gap between that RE and the next ones:

I find it does make it trickier to come up with a compelling narrative for your death army when they all shill Nagash. Soulblight does have a bit more freedom imo though.

If you are just talking about you own dudes, they can always be the exception. There are a lot of "natural" undead in the mortal realms, your guys don't have to be huge Nagash fans.

For the official lore, though, I'd like to see canon examples of anti-Nagash undead as well, though. I think that is a pretty likely direction for the development of 4th edition, as well. We have been hearing a lot about other death gods recently.

Bit of both. I like freedom to do what you like narratively but it's nice to have some in world examples as well, a bit like DoK with not everyone vibing with Morathi and that getting representation on the tabletop now with Krethusa is great.

Even the Bonereapers aren’t perfectly loyal to Nagash, such as the Crematorians- They’re more interested in stopping themselves from having a lifespan measured in weeks per body than carrying out his orders as intended.

Same goes for Morrda i guess?

Combo this with Zenestra. Krethusa looking like a Raven priestess and the Lethis event mini makes me think there is going to be more to this Morrda/ Morai Heg story. I could also be seeing things, again XD. Hope this is a segway to CoS aelves.

(excuse to post awesome minis)

how do we know which shorts are for which books? is it 5 each? 7?

I think it is normally 5, but I based myself on the narratives. This one occurs 100% after the 4th book, Kretusha's one could depend, but I assumed it was from book 5 as well.
