So Forgeworld went back to classify units into Grand alliances. i am going to go on a limb and say that everything in the AoS range (even Gloomspite units and greater daemons) is going to be purge really really soon.
probably the best time to get any model is now

The battletome is an age away hence all the well meaning but not very helpful white-dwarf articles. BR is also probably a good 5-6 months away as they only just announced Teclis (if the next BR is even destruction related but the few stories may be a positive indicator).
Well they just release a DOK battletome just now, not sure what your bone in this fight anyway, if you can’t enjoy playing gitz and Just complain in the forum all the time get you no where. Get a better army then.

Don’t think Malarion or Tyrion are getting BR books, the cycle indicate existing character with reusable artwork, are the ones getting the books. That means only Allerialle can get a book at this point in time.
also BR would just be boring being all Aelves anyway and a failure when most people did get the memo anyway

I've been hyped for new gitmob since we saw the warcry warband, definitely feels like they're teasing it to some extent. Not sure if they belong in gloomspite but I'll be happy as long as we get them in some form.
you mean underworld?
i hope either a BR book or a new battletomes come out soon for Gitz really

Slaanesh: preorder next week, out by first week of February maybe with Dark angels
mid February: Drukhari/sister of battle with battlebox, Warhammer underworld Chaos band

Broken Realms : Tome I announced the Hedonites battletome, so Tome II could announce Battletome : Soulblight Gravelords.
EDIT : if the 3rd (and last ?) BR book is indeed about Alarielle, then it could announce BT : Maggotkin (a very old one) just before Starter Set for 3rd edition and DESTRUCTION HEGEMONY / FALL OF EXCELSIS
that make sense, since those theoretical three book would sort of update all the 1.5 battletomes (DoK, IDK, Nurgle, and maybe LoN)

THAT MAP IS NEW.
Btw those lines are more or less similar to the Shyish energy lines in the Ossiarch Empires.
So probably a map from Shyish from the next Broken Realm book ??
could be related to Arkhan and his Null myriad bonereaper being in conflict with the Thunder lizard constellation that they mention in the battletome (though i think they were in Chamon)

I actual like the 300 Spartan look Fyreslayer have going, on, maybe pants and capes can improve them, but i think the core design of shirtless berzerker dwarfs has its appeal. when people are drawn to collect this army it that certain that fiery slayer aesthetics
like other have said they are definitely held back by lack of unit, lack of variety and being very samey,
Vulkites look like they where design to be rank and file infantry in WHF to Karak Kardrin before the end time happen, Hearthguards look to similar Vulkites, their plefera of foot heroes don't really stand out amongst the army either.
i also think they are not that fun to play as either, they don't really have any flashy mechanics or that many different ways to play them. Magnadroth have always been that 200pt range monster and have never risen to anything stronger then that

I mean what other purpose would there be to keep the kits around at all? Forgeworld makes a ton of wierd decisions, but squatting half a line, and keeping the other half makes no sense at all unless you are planning on doing something with it. They would just squat the whole line.
well they probably are squating the whole Legion of Aezorh line but the stuff that are still left are just wait to be sold out of stock until it all gone forever
at least that how Forgeword have done it in the past as they stop making a product from the store, wait until existing stuff is sold out and then put a No longer available sticker on it until it is completely removed from the webstore

No that was 100% new.
Also isn't this the poll we're talking about?
FEC are next to the Lumineth & Hedonites which you can't tell me don't do well.
Yeah I really dislike these simplistic polls. Way too easy to point to the graph and spin a false narrative of why something isn't doing well while ignoring that half the NO guys aren't actually against it but had no better choice.
Also no Fyreslayers flair? They should get a say with their favorite army I should think.
i guess we are talking about different polls
the one i was referring to was this one , i don't see this particular table on this video

They at least got the arch revenant in AoS right? Or was that a reused sculpt?
well, he only counted armies that got full range releases during AoS lifespan and didn't count one off heroes releases so armies like Ogor mawtribes, Skaven, FEC, and BoC where not counted in his poll.
the poll was to see if people enjoy the AoS design and Aesthetics and which one people like and played/own the most.
i recall that Ironjawz, Gloomspite, and Nighthaunt, where both the most played main army and most liked design wise (stormcast may have had the biggest playerbase but aesthetic votes was way lower) while Fyreslayers was at the bottom in both category and even their own playerbase didn't like their design

Despite people pointing to that one poll graph(which is silly since they're right next to the still extremely loved DoK & FEC) Fyreslayers Are popular. On Facebook they came close to Kharadron in votes and are a common sight in both tourneys and on forums with people getting into AoS and loving their fiery design.
FEC (because they never actually got a new model release in AoS) wasn't on the Warhammer weekly poll if i recall correctly

And yet, Teclis was one of the few AoS figures in the top 10 of GW's Model of the Year. Unless all those people were just trolling, I just don't understand.
i mean without looking at the result i think you can't really say how accurate GW is relating the info, there could be a steep drop off from 3rd to 5th, (13000 to 100 votes) and i think they like combining votes from their ranges into the centerpiece models (putting Eltherion vote into Teclis)

The lumineth are strange, many wanted the "high elves of old" to return, many got excited by the pointy aelves teasers, then they were released and the very people the hype and marketing catered to, did en masse not really like, or outright disliked, a "large" portion of the small release.
It seems a majority finds the Eltharion and the dawnriders to be the best part of the release, followed by the wardens and Cathelar and sentinels. The mountain cow part really divides the waters though and turned many people off, including people I know in my gaming area, who were hyped and completely quit on them after seeing what was supposed to be the elite infantry and behemoth. They wanted "white lions 2.0" or "swordmasters 2.0" instead they got strange hammer aelves with pinatas on their heads. They wanted sleet dragons, eagles and chariots, yet got a big ol Bojack Cowman.
In my local stores and most used webshops getting the bonereapers was somewhat hard and things got sold out fast, yet the lumineth just sat there, plenty in stock long after release and still are.
I think the major problem was they either went too far or not far enough, attracting neither the old guard nor the new AoS fans who enjoy the more crazy armies. Perhaps going with an even stronger theme would have helped the lumineth, perhaps we will see it in a wave 2 with cloud surfers and camel riders. Putting more distance to the old high elves will at least reduce the comparisons to them over time.
i think what really started the downward spiral was Teclis's model being a big let down or had mixed/negative reaction, while Morathi and the Everqueen (along with other big character centerpiece models) are consider to be some of the Best models that GW have ever produced, I think Teclis clearly didn't garner the universal appraisal for such a hyped up character returning. after that people where more critical of the model range being reveal and that they felt GW had some iffy design choices coming in to this army.
