Well, if you look at 40k, new heroes are being kidnapped in a 180€ box for months
Yes because I think that format replace the dual VS boxes and AoS probably will go the same path.
Example: if your getting a single foot hero you get a battletome release, a FOMO battleforce with your new foot hero, and a new spearhead.
if you have a decent model release you get a Fomo army box set with a early access battletome, and then a month later you get to buy the stuff individually.

Whilst I agree with you, I do see how "Head Office" might see significant overlap. It'll be interesting to see how Spearhead is supported once AoS 4th drops. I could see a world in which new Units are released in Faction spearhead boxes.
I mean new units would just be release by themselves individually like always?
combat patrols release have all been relatively the same

They mention at the end of the video that in the long-term they plan to continue balance updates and adding new stuff, good to know.
Mainly because they been slow and bad about updating the game this edition until now

So no sneak peaks for Age of Darkness anymore? I miss Heresy Thursdays, much nicer than Price Rise Tuesdays.
They said they taking a break but the 40K preview on Saturday is suppose to have the next big release for 30K

No i think they WILL get big attention
Just they're not going to redo them from scratch like Hight elf--> lumineth or Cities of sigmar--> empire
They get more a Slaves to darkness, Skaven, Soulblight or Serpahon redo where they stick with the faithful of the old Ogre Kingdom but with extra flair. The OK aren't a core race in ToW so there no need to be "visually distinct" to put it when it come to the Mawtribes
They may simple do it if the design studio don’t like the current aesthetics of the Ogors though.
simply put i don’t think they will manage to replace all resin models if a refresh happens. There units like Yhetees and Firebellies that seem too far out from the design from the Gutbuster that they not important enough to get new models.
Minimally they could just give Ogors a plastic Butcher, Maneaters from Warcry, discontinued all resin models when the next battletome comes out and that it until 5th edition.

Likewise I can see maneaters, firebelly, slaughtermaster and yhetees being canned.
Frost sabres could potentially be in that list too, but there's a cat in one of the underworlds warbands, so that could be a sign they're being revamped.
I'm not sure if they'll update gluttons/leadbelchers/ironguts either.
If they do, and the new designs look closer to the bloodpelt hunter, then they'd potentially have to redo the beastclaw stuff too, as the riders are quite similar to current gutbusters.
Hence why GW are probably not done canning models this edition, and it can still happen when one armies Battletome comes out.

I agree, I also think there is a good chance of a "new" army in Spring/Summer of 2025 such as Chaos Duardin or Malerion Elves. They seem to like to use the "middle year" of the edition to launch something new, but the timing varies based on what they are releasing for other systems.
Generally they like releasing a new army in October/November but they have been doing these year long teasing of new armies before they release. Example would be Votann and CoS. (Edit: also Bonereapers)
that said it sounds like 2025 will be Emperor Children’s if Valrek new rumor is true (barring any internal problems)

I mean
- Frost Sabre
- Icebrow Hunter
- Icefall Yhetee
- Firebelly
- Butcher
- Slaughtermaster
- Maneater
just 7 resin kits the thing with Ogres is that they have a bunch of aged infantry models like the Gluttons and Irongut. If we're being generous something like Maneater or Firebelly can just slotted for a Warband like Gorgers were while Icebrow Hunter is kind of redundant with the bloodpelt hunter
Ogre definitely will be getting that Slaves/Seraphon update at one point in 4th edition it like 1 of 3/4 armies that requires a "refresh" level update
Well we shouldn’t be banking that they will get a refresh this edition either way. But it already a big task just to redo Gluttons, Leadbelcher, and Ironguts while also having room to redo every single resin unit (especially since most of them are on the BCR side)
there also a possibility they sunset the whole range and reimagined them into a new range like what happen to Freeguild , High elves to LRL, or TK to OBR.
-
Cutting the last units when a new Battletome comes out seems more of a possibility than not.
of course I am expecting that every resin model be cut in this edition regardless if they are replace with a new version or not. (Looking at Ogors)
Edit: the argument that they finish cutting models already until next edition feels false as there are ranges like Ogors, Spiderfangs, or ranges with lingering resin heroes that are still endanger this edition.

Crazy how they're not working to put out a roadmap for the game that is getting a new edition this summer when they're trying to build hype by... talking about cutting armies and ramping up costs again
I mean any possible Roadmap was not going to be release until after the New edition physically launches in June/July. It’s possible that the reason why this news cycle seems lacking compare to Leviathan is probably because Warhammer Fest didn’t happen this year since last year around this time in May, Leviathan was already fully revealed and they went into faction focus already.

As messed up as they have the production right now I doubt we will see a roadmap to avoid getting forced into any commitment.
Eh they manage to get one for 40K last year and it has largely gone by without a hitch.
they be force to get Battletomes out regardless of issues.

wouldn't mind someone leaking the next year or so of AoS at all, tbh! Otherwise it's going to be a hot minute before I'm anticipating much of anything out of GW! Won't be picking up the 4th edition box unless my friend is extremely enthusiastic about the Skaven in it, and I'm not planning to finish the Dawnbringers series anymore
They probably release a roadmap during the later part of this year.
it could just be very battletome release heavy like what happen infamously to AoS in 2022 with few to no big releases.
-
I mean didn’t the leaker listed all the new models coming out?
like there not much else to spoils as this probably the last big AoS release for the year and thing like faction focus and rules are generally things that aren’t leaked by people

This is about the same time last year that the 40k rules were leaked. Potato pics of the core book can show up any day now...
depends if anyone is willing to leak anything. Happens in 40K but less in Sigmar

There are many people out there who can afford it and others who do some juggling to be able to, like selling painting commissions or second-hand minis, but it is clear that if they get more profit year by year there's no lack of customers.
People who can afford are generally not vocal on the internet about it either. Or they actually have lives.
and Warhammer as a hobby, while is pricy, there are other hobbies out there that are more expensive. Or even somewhat comperable like going into hardcore Lego building.

There's a reason they suddenly pulled out this news right before revealing their edition launch box. People will instantly forget about price hikes and crave the new FOMO plastic. It's psychological manipulation.
Must be why they announce the Squating of armies last month.
like the outrage of BoC and Sacrosant getting discontinued has largely died down now. It probably still sting but people move on in the end.

My iffiness on a potential Ogor release is that they have not really tease or shown anything that would imply they would get a refresh this edition (unlike Seraphon with Kroak, or Freeguild with all the witch hunters and narrative stories)
outside the new Gorgers (which is a warcry warband of a previously niche unit) and them attacking the crusade, they are not really spotlighted in the lore that much either.
of course it could be a case that they are like FEC and are the last release of 4th edition during 2027 (geez)

Lumineath was probably an outlier I feel, the initial release was probably suppose to be release much earlier (maybe closer to 2018/2019) and then also got hit by Covid delays. The timing from the first and second wave and battletome was probably more reasonable.
still Wave 1 and 2 where probably all design at the same time.

Would be really nice for 4th Ed for armies that aren't getting a sizable wave to have a single kit rather than another foot hero.
Temple guard, grave guard, dryads all could do with a glow up as could the 4 demon foot troops arguably.
My general sense is if 40K isn’t doing it then AoS is following in its track and not diverging to far, and so far it been single foot heroes though I guess you can be like Necrons and get 3 heroes instead.

It don't make much sense having rules as the driving force. I really can't imagine the rules team being like "oh we created a warscroll for a flying model that buff witch aelves, please create a model for this".
Sure with the models it make sense, narrative not so much. Idoneth, Beasts and KO were important in the narrative of broken realms and didn't got much. With the broken realms happening around the covid time I wonder how much of that were just releasing of thing they already got ready but had to separate or postpone the releases. Eventually getting new models need to not signal new models in the future, otherwise we will be mostly the same ranges that are getting new things. If we take danwbringers as a example we would expect:
- Fyreslayers, Gitz (x2), FeC, Nurgle, Ironjawz, Sylvaneth, Stormcast, Khaine, Soulblight, Slaves.
FeC and ironjawz alredy got their release within the series, so we could drop them. Gitz, Sylvaneth and Slaves already got waves last edition, so I imagine we could drop them as well. That would leave Fyreslayers, Nurgle, Khaine and Soulblight. Two factions with small ranges and two with some pretty old models. I really hope this is the case, because we don't need another big wave of releases for Gitz, Slaves and Sylvaneth.
I feel like they will do both as some popular armies will always get more stuff but some desperate army will get an update (FS and Ogors).
it wouldn’t really surprise me if Sylvaneth and Gitz where to get more stuff this edition (if the Broken realm/ Dawnbringer theory holds true) but I would also think a few of the smaller armies (but not all of them) would get an update as well.
there going to be losers every editions like Adeptus Custodes, Ad mech, and maybe Grey knights and GSC, but then you get Tau with a much needed update.

A Old blood/scar veteran on foot I imagine. The actual one still comes with a square base (outside of the one you can make if you build the troglodon). Probably the foot hero for when the 4e Seraphon time drops.
Realistically about 2/3 of the army (not taking Sons of Behemat into account) are probably getting only foot heroes this edition

Um, I thought at this point GW would have already put a countdown on warcom's page, mostly now that we know we'll see way more new minis than at Adepticon. Again, GW, do you or not want to sell this???
I think they usually do countdown on the week when the preview is happening. Then again putting it during a weekday is pretty eh to begin with, like Adepticon really mess up by revealing 4th during a Wednesday and expecting people to watch the show live.
I bet more people will tune in to the 40K show on Sunday then the Sigmar show on Thursday/Friday TBH

Except they be in FOMO boxes not spearhead vanguard box (unless it a completely new army like Cities) usually.
