A whole week for Aeronautica Imperialis ?

Well, as expected, this week has been almost exclusively 40K focused, so I hope that the next is definitely the pure-Lumineth (with, perhaps, an article or two about 9th edition, which is their main product, in the end) week. I really hope that we get a nice look at minis, alternative color schemes, more detailed rules than those in the WD and...why not keeping the flame of hope alive and seeing that non-named character and another elite unit?

From the looks of it, I think it's going to be Engine War/the Zoat and Aeronautica Imperialis stuff (that is what was previewed in the banner with the announcement of the re-start of the factory). The battle-box will probably hit the shelves by the 13th of June, but it would be fantastic to be wrong!

I hope so too! But i'm a bit worried, seeing that the banner of the article shows the Zoat, new AdMech and Aeronautica Imperialis...Worsdt case, I guess we will get the box on the 13th ^^

Well, I guess that (again) it's mostly wishful thinking, but given that the Endless spells where nowhere to be seen in previous photos (Or, at least, I don't recall any image where they were visible), and that with 10 warscrolls it would be a smaller release than Ossiarchs/Idoneth, I think it is very plausible that they have kept hidden a couple of units to show when they are finally available to pre-order.

I love the twinstones, but not really a fan of the design of the other two, tbh. Glad to see that there might be other things that we haven't seen in the release, though.

I love the "Tectonic force" ability idea. Such a nice way of representing the strength + connection with the mountains of the Stoneguard. They are going to be a fantastic unit to sit on objectives.

Same. My hope/wishful thinking is that they were using these two weeks to replenish stock in as many LGS as they could and now, with a possible re-opening on the factory in the horizon (depending on what Johnson says today), they are going to start releasing the new things that they had in the warehouse (AKA the new miniatures of the Mechanicus and the Battlebox of the Lumineth). Let's see what WH Community says today ^^

What a beast! Beautiful miniature with fantastic rules. What more could we ask from a character?

Back when I started playing Warhammer Fantasy I loved Tyrion (and I thought that his miniature was one of the most stunning of all of the range). However, I think that Teclis is a far more interesting character, both in the previous setting and in this one (Although it is true that Tyrion hasn't had a chance to develop). However, I don't think that GW doesn't have a plan for him, as it would be weird for one of the most well-known characters of one of their best-known factions. I think that the lack of mentions of Tyrion in this release is due to two reasons: 1) They do not want to put all eggs on the same basket. If they release both Tyrion and Teclis now, the Lumineth won't have any "big new shiny thing" to look for in the future. Similar to what happens in 40K with Primarchs. If everybody gets their Lords of War at the beginning, then it is difficult to maintain that state of constant hype. 2) As someone has mentioned before, it is very plausible that 2021 sees a campaign related to Slaanesh. AoS 2.0 is, more or less, in the state of 40k one year ago, with all codexes released, so it wouldn't surprise me if GW decides to go "Psychic Awakening" with AoS to release updates for battletomes in need of renovation (Idoneth or Stormcast, for instance) through campaign books, which would come with some miniatures. Fall of Excelsis and "Slaanesh released" come to mind. Tyrion/New units for Lumineth and Idoneth could come with this format.

"White Dwarf 454 (the one we’re previewing below) is 160 pages and will go on sale in the last week of June." A bit disappointed by this, but let's see how the situation in the UK develops and if they can safely re-open the factory throughout May, so we get some rules previews soon.

Also, the WD comes with a Lumineth battle report! How do you think they are going to handle this? Either the re-opening of the factory is sooner than expected, they have battleboxes in the warehouse or they are going to release the online battletome first, perhaps? (Sorry for doble post, if it is not allowed, i will edit previous one)

Soooo, it looks like we are having a peek at Eltharion's rules this week? I think that showing a couple of abilities/spells/Warscrolls would do wonders to re-spark hype.

I really love the Hammerhal Herald

This. It would be very weird that we would only get 10 warscrolls, with the Lumineth been the "spiritual successor" of one of the most beloved WHFB armies + the long teasing campaign. I would say that there will be a Scinari hero and a Scinari "Ellyrion Reavers". 12 warscrolls, terrain, endless spell and the possibility of allying with other elvish factions such as the Phoenix Temple. Obviously, if the release ends up being only this, I will be disappointed, but I am waiting till we actually get the date of the release to criticize if that is the case. Although I agree with GW handling poorly the communication regarding this army, or even stretching too much the reveal period, I understand that Covid-19 has created a disruption which is very difficult to manage properly (By governments, business or even ourselves in our personal lives). So, let's hope that GW can safely re-start their production soon and see if we get anything else.

I think that it would be weird to mention the Tyrionic states and not having any of them as subfactions, but it's true that there are precedents of less than 6 subfactions. This article has sparked my interest in the preview of the 18th, though

So it seems that the different subfactions of the army are going to be the nations in the Ten Paradises. In the video of the battllebox we only saw glimpses of Teclian ones, but only 4 subfactions would be weird. If we get all 8 I think that a Tyrion release is not impossible.

I love the range but that photo is gorgeous. They look amazing on the battlefield.

Also, in this image of Teclis, the guy with the helmet just under him has a...dragon? serpent? On it. Does it correspond with any unit that we have seen before?

I was also a bit disappointed with nothing else but the battlebox today, but we have to understand how difficult it must be to readjust the schedule of releases while keeping the hype with everything in lockdown and no signs of re-opening of their factories and shops in, at least, two weeks. I hope that, following the reveal of one of our allegiance abilities, they will start revealing some warscrolls or spells, with a couple more models, at least, on the preview of the 18th April. So looking forward to having this army!

Aren't those riders with bows on the right? And isn't there another character just between Teclis and the archers?

I had lost hope, but that shadow...Please, Gw.

Didn't see it posted before. I guess that we are getting the pre-orders right after "Non-Adepticon" reveals ^^

I was about to ask about this. A shame, but necessary right now. Glad to see that they are taking measures and I hope that this goes away soon.

He is definitely not Tyrion, I stand corrected. When they first released the article they only showed the lower half and I got carried away by the excitement, but given the moon symbolism he seems to be more clearly affiliated with the "Teclian" side of Lumineth. I'm also curious about the veiled miniature, because it gives me very strong Bretonnia vibes...
