That being said no one really question GW quality when it comes to models, they are some of the best miniatures in the industry for being mass produced. there pricing is more because they decided to tied themselves to the UK first and foremost and do internal manufacturing instead of outsourcing. Which has benefits and downsides of course. rather I often feel their competition is rather week or just viving their own niche space in a niche market. Privateer press basically crash down and Star War legions and MCP are basically licensed merchandise from Disney. Everyone else has their own quality problems or only cater to a small market (cough kingdom death)

As long as they don’t overstretch the space marine reveals to make up lost space /s joke aside that amount of Ironjawz models does sound hype

The next event or showcase for this game maybe they reveal the other two armies at that show

It largely depends on if they swap place with HH epic. or if the problem with epic was more of a printing error and recall and not more logistic problem which would affect every release.

Yeah it get a little too much when a named character has been made or buff to a point that any list has them because they are extremely powerful or integral to your army strength. my example would the Silent King when Necrons where a middling army but with him they where one of the best army at that time. I remember a narrative 40K event I was watching and like every Necron army (being a pretty popular army) had a silent king with them. It like wow this planet is being seige by ten silent kings lol. there also some case where some named heroes like Gobsprakk where he the only profile in Kruleboyz for a spellcaster on Vulcha because his alternative build is the melee version or like Avalenor and Sevireth who only build into generic units and not heroes. Even recently with Tahlia being only a unique model that doesn’t dual build into anything. Sometime you wish GW gave you more options to generic heroes in these cases.

All I have is the copium of Whitefang reaction on Portal Trogg for this dream to come true (along with Braggit’s boasting and Fyreslayers warning that it’s comming to Hammerhal)

TBF wanderers (with the exception of the sisters of watch) probably should have been in Sylvaneth in the first place and not in Cities just because they were all wood elves once upon a time. and then they should have either refresh/ replace by a Kurnothi/ wanderer release when the time was right.

Probably because black library is a different division then the AoS team and they may not nessisary be on the same page. sometimes they align when working on certain books like Dominion (new edition promo book) or End of Enlightenment (promoting a new army range ) other time they do their own thing like the Warhammer horror series

FYI the rumor engine article are always written in a 40K tone like it something done by the Adeptus mechanicus they could just be referencing the Genestealer cults (especially as they mention many eyes) of course I believe this RE is most likely AoS but the text are usually just some bored writer on Warcom

More Kruleboyz characters They look like side antagonist for the campaign story interestlingly Ripklaw looks like his armor plate is yellow, maybe he from the Big Yellerz tribe

Since the army not in the TOw (not a core faction) to begin with am guessing there no plans to do anything with Tzaangors in ToW probably no rules either.

Eh the Cathay guys is too much dynasty warriors to me, once they go with random lore character it looses it luster compare to the older dlc

Usually thoose text are added to pad the article but rarely mean anything for the actual model

Welp I guess the Warhammer plus mini are left unrevealed for another day lol

Or at least be wary of the old WHF kits especially in cities as they may not be refresh but more likely replaced in AoS. of course some armies did get luck on their refreshes of older models like slaves to darkness and Soulblight gravelords, who got their older models updated one for one.

Their should be one last article for today if they don’t show it today then who know when it will happen

Well looking at past release for brand new ranges (OBR, LRL, Freeguild) what I think most likely will happen for Malerion release will be. (Or the core units of the release) Malerion centerpiece model (probably is a shadow dragon creature basing on old AoS artwork) basic shadow aelf battleline infantry like Warden or Steelheim (most likely replacing dreadspear/bleakswords) 5 man cavalry unit (similar to cold one riders but AoSify and edgier then other basic cav units) maybe a ten man range unit that probably use something similar to repeater crossbow ( dark shard replacement) A smaller named foot hero like the light of Eltherion (the Shadow of Darkblade?) your assortment of foot heroes including something similar to a dreadlord, sorceress, and assassin equivalent. If they have room for the initial release a mounted aelf hero (on an even edgier creature) like the Marshal or lord regent anything else would be extra like an Artillery piece or new Blackguard looking elite infantry

I think Malerion’s army will get the lumeneath treatment and it be a brand new range. Much like what happen with HE in that situation, the CoS dark aelfs may just simple be replace with his army of spikey shadow aelves. DoK may just be merge with them to keep the battletome count lower or stay independent but who knows

Only Valrek (or valrek reliable source) would know at this point in time as he the one who started the whole Old world rumor

I mean you can proxy, I feel people just want to have officialness when it comes to their miniature. like I have Snarlfangs, I can proxy them as spiderfang but I rather they did something as the Snarlfang warscroll so I don’t bother either way. it really just comes down to it just not the same

The antlers makes me think it’s a Kurnothi like that Waywatcher from Curse city. granted the difference between wanderer and Kurnothi is rather thin and they should just merge or retcon the species to be the same thing Of course with Kurnothi, GW has been pretty blunt that they are part of Sylvaneth as to even make Qulathis the exile as a Sylvaneth hero instead of a cities one even though she basically a wood elf/wanderers waywatcher.

It’s like firstborn, people said they would not remove them but it ended up they where doing it slowly of course AoS and ToW are two different system and teams in the end, what happens in Old world doesn’t have any ties with AoS when talking about AoS. model for the most part going to toW are gone in AoS at least to the AoS design team because it’s not their product any more.

I mean nothing really suggest that the case really, regular humans needed to have their dedicated army and old model will either retire or go into Old world. It could even be that Freeguild just eventually become their own seperate thing too. like GW have done thing their own way without caring about the community I don’t thing CoS diversity screaming is anything different from the YouTube video debacle, squating mini marine, separating HH kits from, squating older fantasy kits, separating old world from AoS, or other common examples. you can have a rosy tinted glasses on their action (maybe people have too much of this in TGa) but you can also see they do things and rarely back down from it.

FEC is not likely comming out until winter (usually for GW it means next year January at the earliest) because that where they put the mystery battletome on the roadmap.
