Nah, don't expect rage.

Lately GW greatly improved their previews. It seems they are listening and what really pays off are previous tantrums as you call it. If everyone was ok with poor previews GW wouldn't feel the need to improve.

There will be rage at the lack of Primaris Lieutenants, as usual.

My prediction for next week:

Tears.

Complaints.

Possible full-blown tantrums laying on the floor kicking and screaming.

How are the rest of you planning on reacting?

My reaction plan involves popcorn and reading other people's reactions.

This rumours are perhaps about Warhammee Underworlds. Everything except for "Empire hero" really fits in WU format.

I doubt we will see a new WU season being announced before the current one is finished. We're still missing the Idoneth for the current season.

I’m hesitant to believe that schedule simply due to the inclusion of “new Lumineth model”. I can confidently say that there is no way in all the realms that they would be getting anything this soon. If they do, I will eat my (exceptionally pointy) hat!

For me its the Shadow Elves. We kinda know that AOS3e is coming, and getting another new faction annoucement before that? That seems unlikely.

I hope that keep kragnos until the book is actually released. Call me crazy, but I like to have something to look forward to. 

And the strange mad speculation is fun from time to time.

*rubs hands together* alright: Goblins, Stormcast and Idoneth.

They will all be merged into a single army: Reforged Stormgoblins riding Fishsquigs.

Now is this rumour or ?

S/T addition is a wishlist/rumour that pops up from time to time. While possible, the logistics and rules impact of such a change are massive. Every warscroll has to be rewritten. Every ability/spell/effect that gives +1/-1 to wound has to be rechecked if it would give +1/-1 to strength or toughness instead.

As both players and GW generally consider AoS to be in a good spot, I doubt we will see such large overhauls.

40k style strength and toughness rumours. Wonder if these have any truth in them. Would mean bigger edition change than expected if true.

Strength and Toughness would require an instant rewrite of all current books. (As no warscrolls has any Strength & Toughness) That would seem very unlikely to me.

[The Rumour Thread]

While the rules have often been a hit and miss, I like the sense of theme that various Battalions provided. I doubt a generic monster Detachments will give the same feel as the Royal Menagerie.

Back in the days of Tolkien, goblins and orcs were described as the same kind of creatures.

As far as I can tell (don't have the army builder unlocked on Azyr), it's kind of hard to make sense of why some units are in the Gravelords allgiance and others are out.

All units from Cursed City with the SOULBLIGHT keyword are in. And it seems like some established units with the SOULBLIGHT keyword are in, as well (but not all). Best I can tell it's all SOULBLIGHT from Cursed City, plus all non-hero SOULBLIGHT otherwise.

Strange that the regular Soulblight heroes aren't in, otherwise I would say it just filters on 'SOULBLIGHT'.

So I had a look myself, and in the 'Battleline' section you have the vargheists and Blood Knights, and the leader section you have all vampires currently available. Iiiinteresting if both blood knights and vargheists can be battleline, could lead to being somewhat elite?

Vargheists and Blood Knights are currently Soulblight allegiance Battleline, so this could just be a temporary porting over.

So does the old Blanche art, the stuff he did for WHFB Vampire Counts 7th ed. is some of his best.

Holdup. Is that a Kharadron Weapon Team?

The one in the middle? That one looks like the Quest Knight to me.

Yeah the cruciator is just rough. Expensive, competes with an already clogged hero lineup, decent shooting for a conditional +1 to FnP... 

Feels like he needed something more. Some sort of synergy with chainghasts maybe

I feel the same. The Curciator is not bad, as decent reliable shooting and improving toughness of Nighthaunt is something we lack, Still it feels like something is missing there.

Guys and gals, can you take the"Ruler of the Spirit hosts" Command trait in Reikenor's Condemned, As technically the subfaction does not have an associated command trait you are forced to take?

You can.

Why does everyone keep saying "indominus style" box? Was there something different or more to it that made it not just a "starter" kit for a new edition?

Not poking fun, I'm just thrown off here.

The Indominus box was a limited box. It wasn't coined as a starter box, those currently are the Recruit/Elite/Command editions for 40k.
