Yeah, and I understand your thoughts, but GHB is supposed to be the "competitive" side of the game and six month season helps to not feel the game stalled for people that plays those 10 games in a pair of weeks.
Most competitive players I know hated 6 month seasons here in the US. I’d agree that adding battleplans to make 18 battleplans at the 6 month mark is the way to go. Heard this idea on Warhammer Weekly.

All things considered, I don't think Dawnbringers 4 and FEC will go up for pre-order before then, so it makes sense that GW is not in a rush with AoS previews. At this point all we're missing is any remaining models that come with Dawnbringers 4 (if any) the next Warcry Box, and the graverobber guys for Underworlds. I don't think any of it will go up for pre-order before Feb or maybe late Jan.
After that we've got the probable announcement of Dawnbringers 5 and everything that comes with that, and anything else that needs to release before 4E.
Assuming they keep two week preorders, and that they follow the Dawnbringers book drops every 2 months pattern, I’d expect the preview for preorders to drop on January 14th. We’ll see.

I misunderstood your original post. Still, AoS is in a lot better shape than WHFB was for most of its life with updates. 8th/End Times was awesome in hindsight, but it was not the norm for WHFB. It was also 5 years as opposed to 3.
I feel for IDK players and hope GW addresses some of these factions sooner than later.

All of them, except Bretonnia got new 8th edition armybooks + mini's during warhammer 8th edition. So I don't think there is a real difference between some AoS armies and Warhammer armies.
Now I looked it up. 😉 All armies, except the poor Bretonnians received mini's and a new armybook during the 5 year lifespan of Warhammer 8th edition. The list below was alone for your armies and your friend only had bad luck with his Bretonnians. Which is fixed thanks to TOW ;-). Infact during 8th edition was not worse or better than what AoS is getting now. The huge difference is that a decade has past technology wise.
- Lizardmen - Kroq-Gar/Carnosaur/Troglodon + Saurus Scar-Veteran/Oldblood
- Lizardmen - Terradon Riders/Ripperdactyl Riders/Tiktaq'to
- Lizardmen - Bastiladon
- Lizardmen - Skink High Priest
- Lizardmen - Gor-Rok
- Lizardmen - Tetto'eko
- Lizardmen - Saurus Oldblood
- Dwarfs - Hammerers/Longbeards
- Dwarfs - Dragon Slayer
- Dwarfs - Belegar Ironhammer
- Dwarfs - Ironbreakers/Irondrakes
- Dwarfs - Gyrocopter/Gyrobomber
- Dwarfs - Runelord
- Dwarfs - Grimm Burloksson
- Vampire Counts - Coven Throne/Mortis Engine
- Vampire Counts - Black Knights/Hexwraiths
- Vampire Counts - Vargheists/Crypt Horrors
- Vampire Counts - Wight King
- Vampire Counts - Krell
- Vampire Counts - Isabella von Carstein
- Wood Elves - Treeman/Treeman Ancient/Durthu
- Wood Elves - Araloth
- Wood Elves - Wild Riders/Sisters of the Thorn
- Wood Elves - Eternal Guard/Wildwood Rangers
8th was one edition and the one I never really played due to college/being a young professional. What about 5th, 6th, and 7th?

No, I don't think so. I am going by memory ;-), but I think all Warhammer armies except Bretonnia received a hardcover 8th edition armybook book, which all had a couple of new mini's.
Warhammer 8th edition was released in 2010 and End Times started in 2015?
Again, I could be wrong, but afaik every army that existed in 7th edition, except Bretonnia received new mini's during warhammer 8th.
I started end of 5th edition. In that time I played Lizardmen, Vampires, Dwarfs, and Wood Elves. My friends played Orcs & Goblins, Skaven, Tomb Kings, Dark Elves, High Elves, Bretonnia, and Chaos.
Some of those armies straight up didn’t get books in 6th and/or 7th. Model releases were very rare.
GW is in a much better place for updating times right now.

True, but that was also the case for Warhammer armies except Bretonnia, How long did Ironjawz wait for a proper update? 6, 7 or 8 years? Seems quite similar as it was before AoS.
No, this is completely false. A lot of WHFB armies waited multiple editions to get a new book. And even getting a single new hero would be unheard of.

Nothing reminding Skavens which is weird regarding their rumored presence in the next starter.
Not really. They wouldn’t hint at that yet.

I really hope tomorrow is an AoS reveal and not something Old World. We're the main fantasy game, we deserve to go first.
The launch of a new game system is probably more important than auxiliary models for a campaign/narrative book…
I want to see AoS stuff too, but let’s be realistic.

BY LONG LOST NEHEKHARA LET IT BE A TOMB KINGS REVEAL FOR THE OLD WORLD!!!!
I’d guess the new mummy unit and then the two starting boxes.

I have the feeling this is some sort of Horror that has 2 arms next to each other. Like 2 left arms and on the right side we would have this:
Obviously, it could be all because of the way the image is pictured.
Sadly just one advent calendar imagPretty sure that’s an upside down left arm. And you can see a sleeve - do horrors wear clothes?

Advent Engine is up (despite not appearing anywhere).
Thinking this has to do with the Nighthaunt(?) hand pouring something and maybe the chemistry set. Maybe a strangely clean Nurgle thing to go with the book I guess.
That skull looks like a Bladegheist Revenant helmet/head.

Do we have any rumours for when the next Dawnbringers book will drop? I need that vampire and that snake in my life 😍
Apart from what @Elarinsaid, they’ve dropped every two months. The last one came out in November, so the next one should come out in Jan if that pattern holds.

Possible, but still raises the question of why now? I don't think anything they are showing now is for the 4E launch box and Dawnbringers has already given SC Ionus and the Blacktalons, I don't see some random generic foot hero showing up for Book 4 or 5.
Yeah, no idea.

Why not just a Knight-Vigilor?

Y’all - are we sure that AoS is not part of the Warhammer Fantasy Universe? It’s literally the sequel to Warhammer Fantasy just like The Old World is a prequel to it.
Either way, even as someone who enjoys playing AoS more than I did WHFB, I still think WHFB is more adaptable.

Same. I feel like OBR need new minis more than Nighthaunt right now.
Agree with that. However, as someone who collects NH and Sylvaneth and is basing both to be a haunted forest theme, a Warcry box of them both would be amazing.

There will have a Battlescroll today ??
I’ve heard January and the one FAQ to Cities accidentally said January 13th. Maybe that is when it’s supposed to drop.

They are investigating what's going on. I could be wrong, but they appeared in 2 if not the 3 books released so far.
I don’t remember them in Book 2 or 3. Meanwhile, the Ghyran hero has been in all 3.

No Callis and Toll, now that I think about them. Do you think we would see them as part of the Dawnbringer releases? Or would they be saved for later?
I’d be shocked if they’re part of Dawnbringers now. They have not been in that narrative at all. If Cities gets something, it’ll be the hero leading the Ghyran crusade IMO.

I have heard similar things before and it's why I think the AoS design studio would do well to really explore and define the realms further. The 8 realms should matter a lot more than they currently do. Rather than have an edition focused on a singular realm, it would be cool if an edition spent around 4 months "in" each realm releasing factions, battle tomes, books, scenery and narratives appropriate for each.
4 months is too quick. But each GHB could focus on a different realm, instead of a different part of the same realm for each edition. At that rate we’ll never learn about the different realms.

Does anyone know how popular Necromunda is? I have never met anyone that plays it, but that could just be the local scene.
It’s probably the main game at my local shop.

Yeah, because they skipped one short story this week and they normal release the book once 3 short stories are out.
No - those were just the two stories after The Long Hunt. Each book has had 5 stories.

Maybe this confirms a delay on book 4 and we end the 2 months schedule?
A delay? Seems likely it would release with the full range of FEC later this winter - just like Cities did with The Long Hunt.

We’ll see if this rumor pans out, but:
Dawnbringers + FEC release on Feb 3rd - got delayed. No new models besides the FEC range and one vamp.
