Reminder that Dreadfane block basically confirmed to be part of Beastgrave block.

This set marks the introduction of two new warbands – Ironsoul’s Condemnors and Lady Harrow’s Mournflight – in a special debut release. They will be available to the rest of the world a bit down the line (...)

So we have thus far:

• Grasknak's Despoilers
• Skaeth's Wild Hunt
• Ironsoul's Condemnors
• Lady Harrow's Mournflight

There seems to be 50/50 odds on whether the Dreadfane pair are going to be part of the "official" release schedule or if they'd be some kind of "extra", but at the very least, we know they're going to be "officially" released at some point.

[What setting would you like for future WHQ releases?]

An anti-Order version of Warhammer Quest: breaking into Azyr. A skaven gnawhole? A small band of ne'er-do-wells somehow accessing an Azyr realmgate? Several Order citizens going where they shouldn't and earning Sigmar's ire?  Whatever the case, a harrowing journey fighting off Azyrite star-beasts, Devoted of Sigmar defenders, and as-yet-undisclosed Stormcast Eternals who guard precious secrets... definitely a fresh take on the formula.

Good news about the fluff (and the very expected Great Parch focus), but I sure darn hope we'll have ARTWORKS and MAPS of all the Realms (I fear I'm repeating myself here but... including Azyr!), and more details on the Great Parch than what we have in the Core Book as of now (which is already very good ; I just want to know more about Hammerhal Aqsha, based on the excellent WHQ Shadows Over Hammerhal "novel").

I'm the opposite reaction. Aqshy AGAIN? Can't GW spend a bit of time fleshing out somewhere else for a change? Maybe a bit of Chamon? Exploring what a Ghurish village based on a giant worm's back would be like? How about the other side of Hammerhal - Ghyra - get at least a LITTLE elaboration?

Part of me understands that it's explicitly because Aqshy is the most expounded upon that makes it the ideal basis for an RPG... but regardless, it feels like anything beyond Aqshy (and to a lesser extent, Shyish) gets glossed over. Much like how all the named models are specifically from the Hammers of Sigmar stormhost instead of characterizing any of the other stormhosts...

TBH, I was this close to making this topic myself.

It seems the faction is something of an oxymoron - a faction with a focus on range that is encourage to make aggressive rushes into enemy territory. Originally, I felt positive about this twist on the formula, but those early impressions have faded. Haven't looked at their specific cards too closely as of yet, as I've mostly been focusing on Magore's Fiends (much like everyone else, it seems).

[Let's chat: Magore's Fiends]

Mildly amused that their warscroll includes rules for Magore's stomach maw. We've had models of Blood Warriors with tummy-mouths before, but it looks like Magore is the only one who thinks to, well, USE it.
