They confirmed one week preorder so my info on two weeks turned out to be nonsense...
Also personal opinion is that the Shadowspear box is a bit of a con. Easy to build monopose models, fixed weapon options (bad ones), questions around whether the unit sizes will be viable in matched play (obliterators) and no hardback rulebook. For £105 that seems like a bad deal.
If I were interested I'd wait for the inevitable multipart kits for CSM.

Rumour time.
Two week preorder for Shadowspear starts on 9th. Khorne may also pre order during that window but if not will be on sale before April.
Large CSM release to follow.

Yep. The sea along the Charwind Coast near Anvilgard is quite an interesting spot. There's plenty of others too. The Mordacious Sound has a heap of Idoneth
My army is a Fuethan enclave from the Moradacious sound, even featuring a tiger stripped Allopex

Last year Deepkin were shown on LVO IIRC anyone recall what was the time from seminar to release?
They came out over four weeks I think, between March and April. The full range was previewed in March white dwarf.

Yesterday on twitch BoK were used. They mentioned that they couldn't use new book so far from release. Make of it what you will.
They normally only showcase a new book on WHTV after the pre order has been announced. So doesn't mean that much.

Are there any areas of ocean in the book setting?

It just looks so incredibly bland.

Ha I knew they were for Warhammer Underworlds.
Stormvault looks ******.

That leak seems fairly accurate for what to expect. That said, it isn't anything that couldn't easily be made up based on already existing information.
TG is a pretty good place to hang out and skim for rumours. You get a bit of offensive language but it's nothing serious.

Hi all guys, i do not play this army but one of my friends does and we have a doubt.
The Akhelian King command ability "Lord of Tides" can be used more then once per turn? If it does, can be used on the same unit?
Thanks for help!
Yes and yes.

Check out this interview with David Guymer on his Hamilcar novel https://www.trackofwords.com/2019/02/09/rapid-fire-david-guymer-talks-hamilcar-champion-of-the-gods/
Hamilcar is one AoS's best original characters.
I read the bear eater story in last year's black library celebration, it was probably one of the worst things I've ever read. Genuinely, I've read work by creative writing students of a quality far beyond that "professionally written" story. Even the basics, like scene setting, personal descriptions etc were awful.

Less than 24 hours til flamethrower only storm fiends go the way of the dodo. Enjoy having to use the weapons that come in the actual box skaven players.

On the basis of one new model for each faction, endless spells, a scenery piece and rules updates then I feel new books even for recent factions are worth their money.

I don't mind FEC getting that horse spell. What I do mind is LoN getting that horse spell. Nagash was already too strong.

Am I reading the evil ghoul horse spell right? Guaranteed 5 mortals vs 1 wound models plus the chance at d3 per roll?

People who think khorne don't need a new tome are wrong.
1} there is a lot of errata not in the book including their entire summoning mechanic.
2) a lot of waracrolls have changed in wrath and rapture.
3) the entire army is balanced on the assumption you have a bloodsecrator giving +1 attack.
It's also easy to make a new battletome for an army with loads of existing art and lore.

A lot of recent armies that have areas of weakness, such as KO, would benefit from revisions to the rules. Nothing dramatic that would require a 3rd edition but...
A rule which lets behemoth / monster models count as multiple models for objectives.
Battleplans that allow a more defensive style of play.
I also think GW were really scared of shooting being too powerful when in fact most ranged units in AoS are worse than melee options in their respective armies. As such I think almost all ranged units should get fairly significant points reductions.
I also think a few of the AoS 1 armies have areas of weakness due to how the rules used to work. So for example balancing saves on the assumption it was fairly easy to get a +1 to save from mystic shield or immunity to battleshock from inspiring presence. Idoneth Deepkin are an example of this. Of course Morrsarr Spam is viable, but outside of those lists there are a lot of new kits that aren't viable. Namarti in particular would be a lot more viable if you could dump an old style mystic shield on them.

Can we live under the sea? Can we go under the sea? Are there rules for being in the sea?

They're beautiful all painted up, such a shame. At least he can play them in Open/Narrative.
Swordmasters, the sad face resin ones, are still sold so should be safe. The archmage is also sold in a plastic kit and is a relatively popular choice for an ally in some lists. Both are safe for now.
High warden and spireguard are in trouble, but they are only likely to go if 1) we get a new aelf soup book or 2) in GH19.
If 1) just proxy them for something (dragon lord and phoenix guard maybe?) plus be happy you got a new book. 2) you still have until June at the earliest which is plenty of time to enjoy the army and think about your next painting project.
So should be OK.

My biggest concern about AoS is that they won't release models for factions after their initial launch. That it would be more profitable to release a new army than revisit one for new kits.
I am really hoping we see some models for aos launch factions just to disprove that.

I don't think we will ever see Island of Blood sculpts again to be honest. Dark Vengeance for 40k had an excellent chaos lord, cultists and marines as well as a load of Dark Angels sculpts that have never been released. If you want chaos cultists in 40k you currently have to buy them in a box of 5 with all the same monopose, even though DV came with loads of options.
Basically anything with shared sprues is dead.

Can we play as Idoneth Deepkin and if so is our Soul stat going to be an issue?

The Dream
New boxed game ala carrion empire.
Blood in the Water
Deepkin v DoK
New heroes
Ishrann Embailor 100 points
Command ability: in the hero phase pick one unit of akhelian allopexes or akhelian leviadon wholly within 12" of this model. That unit can immediately pile in and attack with its jaws and fins.
Spell - dominate beast. Casting value 7 pick one enemy monster wholly within 12". That unit fights after all other units in the combat phase.
Only one weapon the pain staff
1 attack 3+ 3+ - d3
Against monsters has a rend of - 2 and d6 damage. Makes allopex battleline as general.
Melusai Bloodhunteress 140 points
Command Ability: in your movement phase pick one unit of Melusai wholly within 9" of this model and remove both them and this unit from play. At the start of the next movement phase (friend or foe) place both units wholly within 6' of a table edge and at least 9' from the enemy.
First of the Scathborn: get the mortal wound on ranged attacks from bloodstalkers and the stare mortals from the melee snakes for this hero.
Trueborn of Morathi: unmodified hits of 6 for bloodstalkers wholly within 12' of this unit inflict 2 mortal wounds instead of 1. Melee snakes wholly within 12" do d3 mortals on 6s for their stares.
3 attacks 24 range 3+ 3+ - 1 dmg does 2 mortals on hit of 6.
1 attack melee 4+ is a mortal 6 is d3.
You get some snakes and sharks plus some other bits.
That's my weirdly specific wish for LVO.

The theory goes that zombies are the serfs, ghouls are men at arms and so on.
Based on the art for the fence spell it seems plausible.
As mandzak said though the zombies are pretty bad sculpts.

Definitely deepkin, as others have said it's pretty much a perfect match for the gloomtide and the eidolon base. You also get pots with the same style in the akhelian guard and allopex kit.
I have to go with the only logical conclusion and suggest its for deepkin endless spells. Too soon for more than that, though underworlds season 3 is on the table too.
