Next week is Endless spells/invocations and Spearhead (Along with a SCE model review probably). Does not sound like faction focus start next week

I be more interested to see how the power of the double turn affect scoring and BT. Since taking the double turn mean your not worried about completing your battle tactic for that turn but it seems more beneficial to keep the turn order as is.

Some GW stores also build a local community and host events throughout the year. I know every Saturday my store has a line for Preorders and delivery pickups. so I am surprise some people never seen customers actually buying from GW

Each GA gets two Battle tactics, so it depends if both cover enough ground for each of their army.

Oh Roving clans! on a side note, silent people should look like the Necrophage from that game.

Chariots and wagon could be like all the Ork Buggie, so many different versions and flavors of them

If I had to predict a Gitmob release they probably dive into their Mongolian aesthetic. Iconic units like the wolf chariots and pump wagons variants are probably the bulk of the plastic units being released. From the limited lore we know about Gitmob, we probably have a Gitlord hero at minimum. since its been theorized that they sort of the opposite of Gloomspite Gitz and worship the Evil Sunz as sort of the counterpart to Da Bad Moon. Knowing the design teams like having some 40K design cues, they probably homaging stuff from Ork Speed Freaks and White Scars but for Grots lol

I am guessing instead of weapon and strategem spotlight they replace it with spell lore/prayer and/or command abilities

Some armies can’t avoid it like LRL where I believe every hero is a spell caster of some sort in fact of the 2 armies that have spearhead boxes, the one for FEC has an Abhorrent ghoul king which is currently still a spellcaster.

having an actual model kit (and a full Plastic unit) release for Gitmob gives more creedence to the speculation. It isn’t the same as the speculation for something like Silent people where most people are basing them on fluff and some pictures from Underworlds. it also because the Snarlfang rider was a pretty surprising and odd release for Gitz. A stand-alone unit that didn’t have much similarity or synergy with the rest of Gitz (bar a few of the universal Gitz buffs). So it does make it interesting to speculate on why GW release them as they did since it rare for them to do such an an isolated unit release.

the theory is that they tend to make new models for an army in bulks and not one off (unless it’s the obligatory foot heroes) and models release during the end of editions narrative supplements are sometimes teasing the future. if it hold true it be FS, Nurgle, Gitz (well they got 2 releases), SCE (well duh), Sylvaneth, Soulblight, and DoK. i guess for their sake we can count the Gorger release for Ogors to be in there even if Ogors didn’t officially get a Dawnbringer release. IJ, FEC, and Slaves are questionable since they got full or big releases during Dawnbringers. of course they maybe smaller releases like NH and Sylvaneth from last edition but just more then one hero (honestly I think NH stuff where actually Soul wars leftovers)

Honestly I am surprise that Tzeentch is that low. well if we are going by age of last big release for all the low kit armies it would be Ogors, FS, Tzeentch, and KO. And then it be DoK and Deepkin.

Or Crab units

Frankly I alway though it was because the underworld warband was super popular or something (I know during the Beastgrave era they where consider one of the strongest warband for Underworlds thaw game) that they made them into an actual unit for AoS and Gitz was the only place for them.
