The warqueen is so good

Not entirely sold on the Warqueen model - I love the lore about her and what's in the videos but the sculpt doesn't really click for me. Apart from the axe, that is. That axe is amazing.

So, anyone placing bets on how long before we see full Fungoid and Darkoath factions?

I wouldn't be surprised to see a full Darkoath faction broken out from StD, but I wouldn't expect to see a separate fungoid faction. Mushrooms are already a part of the Moonclan  theme, and this new guy just turns it up to 11. So while I wouldn't expect him to be the harbinger of a new fungoid faction, he could mean that mushrooms are going to be even more at the forefront of any future Moonclan in the same way that tentacles have become a much more prominent Nurgle feature in recent years.

My AOS app has updated recently and it looks like the main update is to add a Malign Portents tab. However, under the battlescrolls tab the faction drop down button has 'aelf' appear twice and when you click on it, it crashes out.

 

Dunno if this is a straight up bug or an unintended hint at another faction on its way.

 

Edit: Scrap that - the update has made the app screwy - don't think there is anything to read into.

Do we know when the characters will be up for pre-order ans can see their rules?

It all depends on what we get tomorrow afternoon on the Sunday's 18pm "Next Week" preview.

In case WH40K TS Codex is announced for 27/01 pre-order, I wouldn't be surprized that we'll get a Shadespire release the week after.

Which would lead to a possible pre-order of Malin Portent Heralds on 10/02.. or may be one weeks later..

Its a bug, every faction has a least five seperate dropdowns for me now. Hard crashout. :/

Month two of the Malign Portents painting competition begins on 13/02/18 and is to paint the Harbinger for your chosen faction, so 10th, possibly even the week before seems about right.

Yeah ! I'd say 3rd or 10th ; next week end is second half Custodes - maybe with Thousand Codex (because no new mini with this one). 

We'll see with the pre-pre order this evening.

The TS codex doesn’t come with new minis, but the Tzaangor stuff will probably be reboxed with AoS and 40k on, and the Mutalith is coming back out properly with it, so it’ll probably get it’s own slot.

BTW the release schedule we were discussing on page 362 seems now quite invalidated :

1) The data coming from Haechi on Advanced Tau Tactia are still right (at least for the January - February Custodes).

2) The little snippets about Warhammer Underworlds were already known (I guess Bloodbowl and Necromunda too ?).

3) The true Codex release seems to be : everything stated until June, then (see the pic attached) : 

- August = Space Wolves, and ;

- December = Orks.

.... It seems that all the non Heachi-coming rumors / non already-known Specialist Games rumors were false.

So if the new rumors are right, it means : 

May : no Space Wolves, so.... no "Boxed Games" ?

June : no Orks, so.... no 40k campaign ?

Space Wolves were initially planned for last December as I hear it (GW have apparantly been having some real production issues).

The Nurgle stuff we just got was also initially due for last year (probably around the time Blightwar came out).

The rumoured boxed game *might* be an AoS box set, in a similar fashion to Blightwar (Mostly an educated guess based on something I got told).

Next Week's pre-order trailer is up on WH Community..

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2018/01/21/next-weeks-pre-orders-ever-changing-ever-vigilant/

WH40K Custodes 2nd wave + Thousands Sons Codex

Let's hope 03/02 pre-oders will be Shadespire or Malign Portens..

Good ! As expected, the Thousand Sons Codex comes with the second AC wave.

So yeah it's indeed time for some Shadespire AND some Harbingers to show up !

Guess we'll know Thursday at the LVO seminar....

Has it been discussed already, that in the new WD guide to death, there are little story snippets from most of the existing units and about vampire thralls that are made by the lords as their liking. Sounds like a quite sure new unit.

We can only hope!

I'm guessing Legions of Nagash come out before the Harbingers, I would expect legion on the 3rd, harbingers on the 10s and the 27th to be a 'deadzone' week.

On page 75, there are pics of a vampire lord, a blood knight, three blood dragonesque thralls and three female vampires.

Yeah that's a possibility ! As they teased Custrodes-Thousand Sons-Legions Of Nagash together. I'd be fine with that. 

I just fear that the Knight Of Shrouds won't be in the Battletome...

I don't think any of the Heralds will feature in a Battletome, they'll be in the Malign Portents book and each box contains the warscroll for them.
