    9th was announced at the end of May, whilst the final PA book (Phariah) released at the end of June.

    They did have a very jampacked schedule playing catchup with PA books for a few weeks due to Covid and I'd go out on a limb and guess the same thing happened with the five month gap between Morathi and Teclis compared to the relatively close release of Be'lakor when it came to Broken Realms.

    Thanks for the clarification. That does put a AoS3e preview saturday back in the realm of possibilities.

    Something just occurred to me. 

    What's funny is that we'll likely have the coven throne in the book. Which is carried by a host of spirits. Ghosts. But we apparently won't get any ghosts in the book. 

    Like ah yes, the vampires can afford to pay the desolate spirits for their manual labour but they're a bit too skint to pay them to fight xD

    Love it. 

    The Nighthaunt unionized for better working conditions, which didn't amuse the aristocratic vampires.

    Yeah you are right, maybe a teaser in today's stream for boxed games? Will Old World be considered a boxed product?

    I don't think its a boxed product, but not sure.

    There are a bunch of options for the various Boxed Products, so I don't think we will see the Old World.

    For example:

    Underworlds - Idoneth Warband.

    Warcry - new Warband? We have some unknown sigils.

    Necromunda - Probably some more Redemptionists

    Blood Bowl - Enough teams to toss in there.

    Kill Team - Rules update?

    Aeronautica - It exists, wasn't there some expansion announced a while ago?

    Titanicus  - Another titan variant. Not like that well will ever run dry.

    So we already have 7 options, pick 3 from the list and you have a solid preview already.

    What about the The Old World, maybe we see something about that on Saturday?

    Possible, but I don't think we will see much until we get close to a release. And I think that the Old World is a big enough launch to take up the Summer Release Slot, which is at odds with the suspected AoS3e release.

    Baseless speculation, but what if the new starter is Cities of Sigmar/Order of Azyr with 1/4 Stormcast? Rules allow it, and would make represent a Siege defendant force, if the Siege of Excelsis is the thing that kicks off 3e.

    You’re aware that Stormcast haven’t had anything in 3-4 years right?

    While LRL and Slaanesh just got two waves within 12 months. 

    Hey now, they got a named character a few weeks ago. :D

    Guesses then.

    Monday: Soulblight remaining reveals. Big vampire mostrosity, foot vampires, dire wolves, bats, and spells. Also the reveal of BR: Kragnos cover, with Kragnos himself. Rumour forums melt in anger as we get Kragnos' grand alliance revealed.

    Tuesday: Sisters of Battle. Codex reveal + some additional sisters. Beastsnaggas.

    Wednesday: New books, Horus Heresy, some AoS, some 40k, etc. Rampant speculation on the AoS tie-in novel.

    Thursday: More on the House of Faith, Idoneth Warband, new Blood Bowl Team for chaos dwarves, Warcry voodoo chaos goblins.

    Friday: Previews for the next 3 codex cycle, including Eldar who are finally getting more plastic aspect warriors and the exodite subfaction.

    Saturday: Warhammer 40.000 Live Action movie about Rogue Traders.

    Here is my thoughts:

    monday: something with skaven

    Tuesday till Friday: unnecessary stuff

    Saturday: reveal of the new edition, the rise of the horned rat, a boxset with skaven vs not stormcast, new skaven models, new skaven tome, and to end it all the name-change of the gamesystem to age of the great horned rat

    I like your optimism and dedication.

    I agree on no spooks - but I'm hoping they'll make an exception for the coach. It traditionally has a reviving vampire in it and all. Plus it's an iconic Vampire Counts unit, almost as iconic as blood knights. 

    I'll trade it for the Mortis Engine. ;)

    More likely it will remain anchored in the Nighthaunt though.

    Incredibly excited too. I hope they'll reveal more vampiric units and I really, really hope we get to have the Black Coach in the book just as in Vampire Counts. 


    Worst case scenario right now for me would be GW stripping LoN of all ghosts, mainly just redoing sculpts for units, adding very few new units in and the only new vampires we're getting would be named characters, that's it. 

     

    It's difficult not to have high expectations having been waiting for a successor to Vampire Counts since the start of AoS. LoN tickled that itch a little bit but it felt a lot more like "Undead - the army" as opposed to "Vampire Counts". 

    I think its safe to prepare for no ghosts in Gravelords, including the Black Coach. At best there is going to be a Bloodline with 1/4 Nighthaunt units, but that will be it.

    Also, they claim that all the Stormcast and wolfrider models in the new boxed set are new, and that the box will contain both Stormcast and new faction battletomes (or, well, they just say 'books', but the strong implication is battletomes).

    Chances of new Battletomes in the boxed set are lower than the return of Tomb Kings. More likely are Core rules and rules booklets that contain the warscrolls and background of the new units. (Like Shadow & Pain has)

    I still don't get how kragnos fits into this new greenskin army. 

    He's either leader of destruction soup or like some sort of orruk centaur. Both of which seem weird to me

    If Kragnos is destruction, I don't think he is a greenskin, but more a generic Destruction Godbeast-being.

    Next weekend preorder predictions? I am going with WU warbands as they are meant to be released in may. Maybe both at same week

     

    20210502_094853.jpg

    Necromunda starter was announced. Maybe we also get the AdMech codex as well, considering that one is announced and we have some articles for it.

    We haven't seen much of Kenan's reapers yet so they're out until we get a 2nd preview for them. And with the current hiccups it makes sense to me that they're trying to release both Underworlds bands at the same time.

    For everything else we have next weeks previews from Warhammer Fest, so nothing until we get those done.

    Oooh, is that some new Soulblight stuff against freeguild? Or rather Lumineth?

    Looks like gold-painted Lumineth to me. You can see the banners of the blademasters.

    To the right you can see the new mounted Wight King, so I assume the big vampire thing is also new. I can't tell if its a vampire mounted on some kind of monster, or if the vampire is some mutated centaur monstrosity.
