    Any word on if Dawnbringers will come with new models and armies of renown, outside of FEC, by any chance?

    The book preview says rules for all Death factions. I’d guess an AoR for the three others and warscroll rules for FEC. As for new models… don’t know. If it drops in Jan, maybe one or two other ones. If it drops in December, probably not.

  2. I have the same info that @Nezzhilhas that the FEC box is pre-order on December 2nd. 
     

    I’m also not sure on when Dawnbringers Book 4 and the full release of FEC is. Based on priors, Dawnbringers have been every 2 months which would be January. And there’s been 2 months IIRC between special boxes and full releases, which would put full FEC range in Feb. Then Dawnbringers 5 in March would make sense - an AoS release each month. That’s just speculation by me though.

    There are 5 Dawnbringer short for the firsts two Dawnbringer books. So if the pattern holds, we’ll have 2 more The Long Hunt shorts. I don’t think we will see Dawnbringer IV before 2024.

    Good shout. Don’t know why I had it otherwise in my head. This makes sense as each Dawnbringer book has released 2 months from the other.

    Major releases tend to skip one week. Just my guess.

    I don’t think these are major releases in that way. Plus we had a new Dawnbringers short… if the pattern with the previous 3 books holds that means Nov. 25th will be a Dawnbringers preorder.

    So the release schedule, according to rumours would be:

    18/11 - BFs.
    02/12 - 40 Codex
    16/12 - Imperialis

    Always considering that they don't change this 2 weeks preorder thingy and that December doesn't have some sort of weird hiccup.

    Why are you skipping dates?

    Would be a relalistic move to release them as the end of edition faction? Something similar to Sons of Behemat, with a few chunky models?

    No. They’re a seed to be revisited potentially down the road. No confirmation they’re legit still around. You’ll have to read to book or listen to/watch spoilers.

    So when do we think the 4 from the next book would start?

    Well the books have released every 2 months so far: July-Sept-Nov. January and March (if there’s 5) would make sense. So sometime in December I’d guess you’d see new Dawnbringers lore articles.

    In terms of going back to the rumours. Do we expect to have a new dawnbringer story for today? The index with all the list of episodes it not showing anything new, but I will refresh a from time to time in case something appears earlier.

    No. The pattern is 4 for each book with the last one dropping the day before pre-order.

    Worried about how GW are gonna treat the concept of two different games when Spiderfang/Bonesplitterz and a few other units are still roaming with the Greenskins Old World revamp coming on 2024 :(

    I honestly don’t think you need to worry about Bonesplitterz. They’ve made a warband for them, and haven’t moved any army to legends fully that had received some support. I could see them getting a refresh in 4th like IJ just did.

    The new Blacktalons video has a piece of art I haven't seen before - Krondys fighting Kragnos

    image.png

    Can anyone place where this is from?

    If it hasn't been used before... is Kragnos supposed to show up in Dawnbringers campaign soon?

    This is definitely set for The Long Hunt. All of this happens there.

  11. I’m thinking FEC is a bit of a red herring. They’re appearing, but it’s not going to be what sinks a crusade. I believe in one book it was mentioned that there’s been something going on underground… I think it’ll be a vermintide that ruins one of the campaigns leading into Stormcast vs Skaven.

    95 in the end. Prices this week has been quite high in some stuff. I am specially shocked with Blacktalon, Tahlia and Ionus.

    Funny, my group in the US is talking about how good a deal the Ionus box is.

    I don't consider two dragons 75. I consider them 3 Stormbringer issues, which is half that.

    We don't have that in the US AFAIK.

    To me it is like a hidden overcosted DLC. Yes the rules are free, yes there's no obligation to play that way, It is optionnal and very cool. 

    BUT to play this new free content, you have to buy at least the new box and more dragons if you don't have enough. I relate it to the last Total war Warhammer DLC which crate a shitstorm against Creative Assembly because of the price. Yes it is an additionnal content and you don't need it to play the game, but this does not justify the price to pay to play it. 

    I guess people with many dragons will be happy to play this army of renown but those who have too few won't buy 2-3 boxes more to play it imo. Bit sad when you see how many warscrolls we have in the BT.

    Once more we don't know if dracoth will be added to the army of renown yet (in which case my contrariety will be eased). 

    -> the argument that GW needs to make money is not receivable to me, it have been use too much to justify things that are not justifiable. They do make profit, they are in a oligopolistic market and they probably have more than 50% of its shares. They set up their own prices and people follow because no one on the market can carry their jockstrap. 

    Anyways sorry for the digression, just a SCE player desperately in need for new rules and sad to can't play them when they are finally here... 😢 

    I'd wait until we see it - but it's just meant to be fun. Stormcast are actually in a decent spot right now after the last battlescroll, are getting two new units in this book, and are getting new units in June and a new book in August/September next year.

    I think people get hung up on what system models get released for. Whether they’re released for whfb, aos, warcry or underworlds, they’re just warhammer models. 

    It’s pretty obvious that the end times models in particular were designed with the knowledge that AoS was coming. Archaon and Nagash are ‘AoS’ models released during the final month or year or whatever of WHFB. This ‘replace whfb’ battle models or ‘whfb characters should be retired’ stuff doesn’t make any sense. Older kits will get replaced because that’s what GW does (in the main - waiting for skaven and boc players to tell me I’m wrong. Besides, for me, it was always eldar, IG and tyranids that needing replacing the most urgently…)

    Archaon, Be’lakor, Nagash, kroak and Teclis are far more interesting than Bastian, Tahlia and Kragnos imho. 

    I hear ya, but once you mentioned Bastian I can’t agree. Dude’s swagger alone is more interesting than Archaon, Nagash, and Teclis.

    Lowkey one or the best AoS models ever.

    Also, recently we had all the talk about Book 3 being release X week or Y week. Aren't we missing today's story and another one before having it in preorders?

    image.png.af0009eace47e294b3fdb89403e9889e.png

    This actually makes it more likely it’s this Sunday’s preview and then goes for pre-order next Saturday.
