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.

They did tease a new species called a Supharbreath Troggoth in a white dwarf one time. while I don’t know what to expect for Gitz in 4th, they do have a lot of room to expand upon despite being a pretty big range already. Update Spiderfang, more Moonclan grot knight like Grimkrak’s court, plastic version of their old forgeworld kits like the Hag and Squig Gobbla, or expand Gitmob.

I think the problems is that GW won’t rewrite army rules or warscrolls to an extent that would boost an underperforming army (See past examples of NH, Gitz, and Kruleboyz). They can only do things like adding minor things in like Battle tactics, rewording stuff a bit or supplements like AoR its really the flaw of there written rules in book format but it profitable and they are willing to stick with it for the foreseeable future.

I rather they simplify Path to glory especially the amount of post game book keeping and power buffs. but I would like if they where consistent in supporting Narrative play with new battleplans and releases through out a whole edition because it felt like 3rd edition we where stuck with the same 6 battle plans in the core book. Dawnbringer came in to late and the content was all over the place.

I can see a kroot style release for Gitz but I wouldn’t hazard a guess if it would focus on either Gitmob or Spiderfang. Gitmob getting the Snarlfang unit out of the blue can be taken account as a teaser for more of them, but Spiderfang loosing a resin hero and feeling that this is the best time to update them when they could have retire them already is also an argument for them as well. hels it can even be to flesh out the Troggoth side a bit more.

Eh it was from Dana Howl TBF

Did we every get that rumor about Warhammer underworld was being retire because of low sells? and that Warcry was also not performing as well so they are rebranding it next year with a mordheim esque setting with skaven vs city of sigmar?

Amazon sort of need that success because they been having problems with Ring of Power especially since it seems they are cutting marketing and promotion for it. (And they spent a billion on this project)

Well yeah that was the biggest bummer both codexes came out the same time and the quality between the OrK and Custodes was so stark. Granted this is pretty common with GW and it’s where the meme “Bin or Sin books” comes from

TBF for Custodes player their Codex release has been pan as one of the worst written one so far in 10th editions. So anger is everywhere

I just assume we fail to curb Global warming by then

Well also the global market in general is going down because of fear of the Middle East escalation and UK market in general hasn’t been great. Selling now is probably the best time if you see the stock price going down

I guess it depends if they want to keep the Native American like aesthetic of the forest goblins that the spiderfang units still have or go a completely different direction with them
