Pretty sure it’s all coming at once.

This is who Alarielle put in charge to keep the spirit of Kurnoth alive. Of course she chose a Kurnot Hunter and not a Kurnothi aelf she lost touch with eons ago due to Nurgle. I do not think this closes any doors.

That’s a good guess…

They did this with the wolves for Gloomspite, so not impossible.

FEC might get their limited edition box previewed, but I could also see that waiting to November. It’s pretty clear the next Dawnbringers isn’t them. I don’t expect Cities to be in the preview, but I do expect previewed stuff to release with Cities or at least before the next preview show. So it’s a limited window with one already massive AoS release.

There’s a few logical reasons for this preview to be small for AoS: There’s another preview in a month. The Cities of Sigmar full range will be releasing soon and will take up a lot of oxygen. There’s been no leaks/rumors of any range expansion for an army. I’m expecting 4 medium sized heroes. It seems like Sylvaneth, Stormcast, and Darkoath/Slaves to Darkness have been confirmed. Based solely on the harbingers, I’d guess Fyreslayers or Nurgle as the fourth.

I’ll be pleasantly surprised if Sylvaneth get anything more than medium sized hero and an Army of Renown for it.

Why not both?

I love the army and dislike the bugs - moreso that it’s only bugs and not other forest friends.

4 Factions? Sylvaneth and Stormcast I’m pretty sure. Maybe Fyreslayers and… Idoneth?

I don't follow game systems other than AoS, but my guess is: Dawnbringers Book 3 + 2-3 new miniatures. (My guess is that Book 3 is Order based and will release the same day as the rest of the Cities of Sigmar range, which would lend to there not being many models with the book). Some kind of preview for FEC.

My very WIP attempt as well.

There’s 3 Kurnoth Hunter units. Arch-Rev is Kurnoth aligned. So that’s already a hero and 3 units. Wouldn’t be surprised to see some other current units in such an army. Honestly they could do it without any releases - see Sons of Behemat and Kharadron Overlords. I think Sylvaneth will get at least one model though.

Based on rumors of Kurnothi, I think a Kurnoth Army of Renown is more likely than a Drycha one.

I’m guessing Dawnbringers book 3 releases in conjunction with Cities, is Order focused, and only has a few models. Guessing it’ll be times supporting the crusade. That’ll be Sylvaneth based on the lore in book 2, Stormcast due to that’s what Stormcast does and we’ve seen the Blacktalon models, and maybe Fyreslayers since they had a herald. I’m only expecting 2-3 models we haven’t seen with the new book.

I’d guess if there’s a new faction at the end of 3rd, it’s Chaos Dwarfs. They’ve been mentioned more often this edition. If it moves to shadow next edition, I’d guess Malerion appears at the end of that edition.

I’d be really happy to see new Stormcast as long as they replace units. I think the OG Stormcast were a miss at large whereas the new design has a much larger appeal. This is anecdotal, but I know of 4 people who have gotten into them since their redesign that wouldn’t have touched them before. And 2 were new to AoS. That’s what you want out of a starter faction. I do think there’s design space for the Vermintide box (just what I’d call the Dominon style box) to be CoS vs Skaven while the true starter boxes are Stormcast vs Skaven - but I doubt they’d try that. The bottom line is until proven differently, Stormcast will always be the starter faction for Order.

Khorne, Nighthaunt, and Kruleboyz. One has been around forever, one was a massive range expansion for 4 units, and one was a weird sub-army. I wouldn’t say there’s a pattern of new edition, new army in the starters.

This story was very meh.

I’m guessing there will be a short for Ironjawz and KO yet.

If you’re going Spite Revs, you really ought to go Dreadwood IMO.

Nah, just for this one thing.

Don’t think this has been posted here yet, but the non-hero big pigs can be battleline.
