I don't see any real hopes of Kurnothi after this, at least not the wood elf variety. They made a treeman the Avatar of Kurnoth, leading kurnoth hunters and tree-revenants with wild rider helmets. It's all trees all the way down. If the wood elf remnants can't even get an Avatar of their God that fits with their aesthetic they are doomed as a concept, IMO.
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.

Seconded. i wonder if the Regiment / Army of Renown for SCE is more Drake related. Thats clearly where the Tome (in whatever state its in) points to now, i could see a Dragon based Regiment/ Army of Renown
That’s a good guess…

Yeah maybe but I'm kind of over the random hero release. This has been the trend since the end of first edition. It's time for the random unit. Grave guard for soulblight, Temple guard for Seraphon, Man-eaters for Ogors, Minotaurs for BoC, Gholems for all the Duardin, a big mob of creepers for sons of Behemat etc etc. Ironjawz have set the standard for surprise end of edition updates and I don't want to go back.
They did this with the wolves for Gloomspite, so not impossible.

Why would Cities be previewed when they have already revealed the whole range?
Have you not seen the Flesheater Courts leaks and rumours?
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.

So, looks like flora rather than fauna for Sylvaneth?
Shame, I was looking forward to beasts, but new trees could also be good.
Why not both?

Who said Kurnothi were forbidden from having pet Sylvaneth bugs ? Every unit in the Sylvaneth BT has the right to have bugs. Bugs are awesome. They make the army distinct. More bugs please !
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 find weird no one did this yet! It is guessing time
40k: Codex codex everywhere. We will have a quick peek at the Mechanicus and Necrons codex and new units. 2-3 of each as max.
Kill Team: A new box fully showed. Space Marines Scouts vs Eldar Striking Scorpions.
Age of Sigmar: Dawnbringers book 3 and alll its miniatures. Callis & Toll, 1 Silvaneth hero and 1 unit multikit, Khorne hero and StD hero.
The Old World: The leaked plastic pegasus and its Tomb Kings equivalent + 2-3 resin miniatures for each faction. We could even see one outside of the two classic ones from last previews.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.

A Kurnoth army of renown means a lots of new kits right? Like at least one battleline, one central hero and 2-3 other units and 1-2 side heroes. Is it something possible as we already have a big ironjaw wave and and the cos release, as we are also waiting for a big FeC release in few months?
Maybe I am missing something but creating an army of renown when you only have one UW unit existing now means too much releases at the same time regarding what we already had and what we are wainting for (but I would love sucha big release of course)
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.

Maybe an army of renown for SCE (Gardus), cities (Thalia or Zenestra) and sylvaneths (drycha)
What do you think?
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.

Given that rumors mention an overhaul of the Skaven range and a potential introduction into the shadow realm, is this enough to say that Malerion and his Aelves may release late 3rd edition or perhaps current of 4th edition or are we crossing our fingers too much on this subject ?
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.

We've been talking recently about Skavens and SCE renovation assuming that both would be in the new edition box, but what about that 'new edition new army in the launching box' pattern we had so far? I think we've missed it in the recent days speculation.
Maybe a new outstanding army would be the real mindblowing, and SCE vs Malerion would be Order vs Order, to finish the cycle.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.

Has anyone ever had any success using an army that consists of mostly revenants? I don't play enough (or with people who know their own rules well enough) to know if it's even viable.
For example, could this list do anything meaningful?

Anything else you could share? Any idea of profile/rules or just vaguely how hitty they are?
On 9/3/2023 at 2:36 AM, Ekrund Oath Splitters said:Yeaaaaah I doubt they'll be 180. Monsters are always overpriced, ghorgons, cygors, soul grinders, stegadons of all types. Its most likely in the 200 range. It won't be priced like a man crusher or slaughterbrute.

I think they'll be some pretty big differences, the speed and damage might be the same but ogres will have the capture weight of 10 and maw-gruntas will most likely be 5 unless they have a stegadon/warparty rule. Defensively I imagine the stonehorns still take it and I think the pigs will be around about 240 each (not the character version)

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