    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.

    Broken Realms: Morathi - SPOILER Discussion + Lore Summary

    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

    Lore what happened to the Sisters of Twilight

    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.

    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

    I hope Teclis does show up and has a book but I'm also hoping the next book is Destruction based, show us Gordrakk planning his assault!! I would love it if all these events were playing out at the same time thus Sigmar having to divide the Stormcast more than he already is.

    It looks like the next one is going to be Slaaneshi focus given that there has to be a rule supplement of some kind when they released them. There doesn’t look like there going to be a BR book in December either.

    Yep a big Black Library one :)

    It's focused on the books and lore so might be a nice time to hear about the next book after Morathi; as well as new novels, artbooks and all the other fancy things that BL produces 

    Ah yeah Black library weekender

    they probably have to reveal that Dark Eldar model that they teased a while ago to since they just announce the codex.

    On terms of that mystery sorcerer, wouldn't be surprised if it's a part of the Warcry/Shadespire teaser.

    Possibly part of a new release of the Mercs + Monsters for the Catacombs era or more likely part of the Beastgrave warband teasers

    well there is no Warcry for this preview

    I don't understand the argument that Bonereapers are meant to be the "new" Tomb Kings. Other than being undead there aren't any similarities between them at all. Has GW ever stated that's what they were meant to be? As far as I can tell it's an idea only purported by the fanbase.

    I don't think we're ever getting new Tomb Kings (outside of the Old World, and even that's an If), but saying Bonereapers are their successor is like saying Deepkin are the High Elf successors because they're both elves that interact with water.

    their spiritual successor, Bonereapers have some of the same elements and themes to make them similar to their predecessor but they are not a direct continuation of them. GW language and design of them was clearly using homage to the old army.

    i am guessing the Bonereaper release didn't quell the Tomb King need, even though they where clearly spiritual successors to them.

    Wait a minute have we not seen this sword in one those ‘clearly a Soulblight’ Rumour Engines revealed recently?

    the bracer, arm positioning and shoulder guard don't match. it possible they are from the same unit but this sword look like it has a snake hilt where the RE one had a vine and thorn design.
