The hardback edition of the anthology also includes three power cards to use in your games, each an alternative-art version of a card in the Core Set featuring Black Library-themed imagery.
ah that what it is
-
well reading the text it looks like the armor is turning Karthaen against his own warband.
quarry and hunter must be new mechanics for this season, maybe there stuff that turns warband members against each other
-
Zombies?
Edit: nope looks like Cthulu armor upgrades but weirdly not on the equipment cards, really don't know what to make of it

forgot that once Direchasm is release, you can tell what the remaining warbands are and what some of them may look like once the card comes out.
so the maybe Vampire and Bonesplitterz/ Spiderfang ones are probably going to be confirm once the box hits.
-
i thought they did release the kits separate, just not packed with the cards like they did for Sureheart and Garrek in S1

Too be fair the grotbag scuttles have also appeared in the Gloomspite Gitz book, and a few other books, so those are less of a meme and more of a tease.
yeah i would put more stock on Grotbag Scuttler since it both an actual name drop by GW and they constantly mention in the fluff.
things like grot who decided to live in the oceans, steam golem automatons, chaos worshipping duradin, armored chaos gargants. i would put less stocks on

Well we have seen lots of ramshackle weapons on some of the rumor engines (one that even looked identical to a weapon used by an old orc chariot).....maybe we could see a new faction of orruks?
its a possibility
it just that symbol doesn't really scream Orruk to me. the style feels a bit different
we are all kind of assuming its for Destruction since they always tend have at least one warband for every GA in each season.
it could be the silent people for all i know
-
hmm most people say that the April Warband symbol belong to bonesplitterz, but looking at the symbol again i can see it being Spiderfang too since it look more fang-like then beast boned oriented

I really think they will go the 2 warbands route for seraphon like with Ironjawz meaning this will be a Skink only warband and a saurus one will be coming in a later season. For this one I expect another normal skink and maybe a Terradon/Ripperdactyl? Has there been another medium sized model like them before in another Warband, except Mollog?
well judging by the roadmap, its probably not going to happen this season.
i think this Skink warband is going to be similar to Zarbag and other horde warband, where it most a lot of little dudes.

WIP only Krakeneater, slowly painting him up

Sounds like a fun party
I guess it’s related to Cinderfall
not sure if rebirthday is related to Sigvald but that tag line does sound like a Slaaneshi tag

The statement that GW made about all Major Factions being present in Broken Realms makes me think that perhaps the Sons as a Faction wont be. My guess would be that a few Mega Gargants show up as Mercs or alternatively perhaps a Stomp overhears the clangour of battle and dives right in!!
Rule wise or lorewise?
i don’t see how they going to drag more mercenary rules without another mega variant. Easy thing would just making any battalions since Sons have literally zero at the moment.
-
they like mixing cultural stuff lately, Bonereapers had some elements of Samurai armor and Egyptian aesthetics, Realmlords where kind of a lot stuff ( Spartan/ High elf/ eastern Asian/ Tibetan feel)
guesses would be that Vampire has some classic Transylvania/ Count dracula vibes but also traits from other culture.

Well, if they are not nautical, why do they need the sailor outfits?
to go into japanese school system, they are very strict on their uniform code.

I think already in the next book is likely. It doesn't look like Sigmar is the Newborn, but maybe the leader who organizes his followers. Of course the next book could be something totally different. Then, whenever they shift the focus back to Slaanesh and the Newborn. I think though this will be pretty soon.
I'd be interested in what people who are mainly playing a Duardin faction think how they (for example KO) could become involved in the Broken Realms story line, and what they'd like to get most.
Sigmar as newborn? Plot twist
it hard to see any dwarf army getting the title card in BR at the moment without any major develop characters in either army.
I think since they have traditionally been in conflict against Orc, goblins, and Skaven in the past, the BR books with those army will have the dwarf armies in them
Ironjawz attacking a free city, Fyreslayer mercenaries are hire to fight them
Gloomspite or Skaven causing trouble and attack a KO sky port

Source on this?
from Bolter and Chainsword
actually the Gitz box is a bit cheaper then the other 3, which make sense since they have less retail price in the box.

But some of those are throw aways. Josh Reynolds wrote an short audio drama for Dechala to come back and be killed in that story. no models, no design. That was a one-off.
We've had a good hint with Kurnothi. Well better than a hint. We have a WArband that shows Wood Elves will be half creature, have some friends (lion or whatever, hopefully beastmasters come back) and there is lore hinted in the core rulebook. I expect they conceptualized how they wanted the army back, akin to how they did in 2003 for the 2005 release, then they designed kits and such.
One thing GW has done well is build an idea of what they want armies to be like, feed it in slowly and build upon it. HEdonites of Slaanesh is one army GW planned in advance well. Rules and lore didn't change drastically from AoS 1.5 to AoS 2.0 for them.
i agree that Kurnothi will happen eventually just because of the Beastgrave warband, but resurrecting the sisters of twilight as a part of the Kurnothi release is another thing that base entirely on what the model designer and AoS team want to do. like a Kurnothi god model could be Orion , hinted to be Orion by the AoS writers, or a completely a different new character like Katakros again based on the writers.
Not saying they don't have a chance, is just i think GW are slightly more selective of who they bring back

I'll explain it again for you.
No, It doesn't at all go down to what you've said here.
Lore writers are literally the last people who are coming up with stuff.
i guess it depends on how you want them to come back,
if it like Balthazar Gelt or Settra it mainly from BL or the writers who do the books and stuff
if it kits it basically what GW plans with the AoS wood elves and do the Kit designers feel the need to bring them back. hell the plan could be that Kurnothi is the future for Wood elves and the character they decided to bring back is Araloth/Orion or they make a new character that not even related to the old world.

Battleforce prices have been posted
£125, €160, $210 for all 4 AoS boxes
higher prices this time around but the discount is the same for the larger amount of models in these boxes this year.

So, maybe a bit conspiracy theory-ish, but I do wonder why the Slaanesh release was split up. I remember back when the first wave came, we were all a bit disappointed at a lack of mortals. I wonder if the first wave was a test of popularity, a way to get people wanting mortals, they just didn't have the mortal side ready but wanted a release to make sure Slaanesh had something, they wanted to coincide it with the narrative, or something else?
Slaanesh never struck me as one of the more popular armies, so it seems strange (though good for me and other fans) that they will have had a release of new models four years in a row assuming the new release is 2021.
(Wrath and Rapture Dec 2018, Hedonites 2019, Shadow and Pain 2020, probably Sigvald and friends 2021)
most likely a timing issue, they could not get that part of the range done and out of the public for the Hedonite books so they had to launch the daemon side and delay the mortals until now, another theory would be that Emperor Childrens is on the horizon and they wanted to coincide the Slaangors for that release.
if people believe that Lumineath are getting more models so soon after their BT then it probably also because they couldn't fit them in the initial release due to time constraints.
EDIT: it not really 4 years in the row though, since i think those boxset are related to the slaanesh model releases

a while back there was some talk of possibly teases when it comes to some of the skulls on model.
i present to you possibility of an Ur-grub model that mention in Beastgrave a couple of time
