    Far as I can tell these are the stories which are as yet not currently in one of the Five Omnibus editions

    City of the Damned 
    Golgfag’s Revenge
    Gotrek & Felix: Myths and Legends (Death and Glory!, Lord of Undeath, The Lost Kinsmen)

    End Times stories
    1 Kinslayer
    Rememberers (short story)
    2 Slayer

     

    So there's potential for 2 more Omnibus. One that includes the last two stories and then the myths and legends stories of the original tales and then a final "End Times" collected Omnibus. 

    Thanks for pointing this, City of the Damned was actually reprinted in 2019 as part of Reader's Choice 2018, hence the confusion.

    Golgfag's Revenge, are you sure contains Gotrek? Black Library does not mention anything.

    Death and Glory! is in Omnibus 1 and Lord of Undeath is in Omnibus 2.

    So a new Doom of Gutrek Gurnisson omnibus containing the remaining short stories could be possible and lo and behold, Omnibus 6 is actually a reality! In Amazon is scheduled for 8th June 2021.

    For who is interested Inferno volume 6 is scheduled for April 2021.

    ALSO in other good news the new Gotrek and Felix Omnibus 5 goes on sale with all these stories inside it Road of Skulls, The Serpent Queen, Charnel Congress, Marriage of Moment, Berthold’s Beard, The Reckoning, The Contest, Into the Valley of Death, Curse of the Everliving. 

    And the Kindle ebook version is (at least on the UK amazon) on sale right now, so if you want all those stories to read a week in advance of the book going live for sale next weekend - get it now!

    The Lost Kinsmen is now the only short story about Gotrek from Myth and Legends never to have been republished. All other stories from the main story arc, Myth and Legends and Lost Stories are in a new omnibus.

    Yeah, but not all priests of Sigmar need to be be soul powered war machines. Some could still be alive.

    Ah yeah hence you have a separate army. But thematically I would see them taking advantage of merging with SCE or COS. Of course all depends from rules, but in the fiction a group of humans protected by Sigmar is nowhere on the same power strength as a stormhost...

    If this becomes the future for Stormcasts I would actually enjoy the aesthetic more as I find them a tad plain with only the super holy warriors theme they got going for them now. Breaking up that mono theme with "regular" humans/dwarfs/elves would act as a real nice contrast to them and could make certain aspects of a force easier to distinguish due to them being more unique.

    That reminds me that if we will ever have a Devoted of Sigmar army, would be nice to have a 1 in 4 stormcast heroes to lead it and 1 in 4 Cities to complement it... that would be amazing as no one Devoted army would look like another and they would not even need too many new models...

    Interesting decision for the battle forces, disappointed OBR are not there but for once my wallet is happy as DoK are grabbing my attention this month. The Gitz would have interested me but I’m almost done with my Jaws of Mork and needed actually a Mangler Squig not a Dankhold...

    Forgot to say Tzeentch looks amazing, pity I gave up my Chaos ambitions for now...

    Also blood of the old world (the sequel) is on last chance to buy. Pity they never really sold the transcript of the sequel, the first one is a beautiful book.

    Amongst the "character cloths" that GW is selling for Christmas there is one for Neferata. Unless there has been something related to her that I am not aware of, could this be a further nod to a vampire army next year?

    Neferata has a line of books dedicated to her from David Annandale while Mannfred does not appear since Realm Wars apart a brief mention in Soul Wars with the other mortarchs... difficult to say with BL but maybe her line of books is popular enough to deserve some merchandising?

    If we are listing old armies getting updates even the Morghasts, contenders of the best model with worst rules, got a brand new army around them (Ossiarchs).
    Personally I think Legions is destined to be superseded one day but Cities is much behind Legions on this side. You would need many more updates on existing ranges to be able to safely put to rest Cities, but it’s a so cool idea and so easy to keep adding that I don’t see logical just squatting them. Different topic if we wonder if they will get new plastic stuff. Possibly via Warcry or WU, but in AoS that’s a less safe bet...

    Added one book

    Rules aside the tidbits they released so far are super exciting, I’m looking forward to see the book and read it all!!

    If factions will drastically change because of this would be super interesting but Anvilgard to change rules need to change name as otherwise there’s no other space in the book (from the summary). Could it be renamed Har Kuron?

    Regarding BL novels this year has seen few already being published but consider also Covid. Inferno volume 5 for example was released in UK only recently but I had it from amazon months earlier, so clearly distribution was somehow affected.

    Court of the Blind King was released in December, since then proper novels AoS we had the Profit’s Ruin, Lady of Sorrows, Lumineth, Sons of Behemat (audio), Warcry Catacombs and now Covens of Blood and Bonereapers. But there are have been also few new Collections...

    Well maybe canon is not the right word if you consider the literally English meaning “a collection of books recognised as genuine”. Surely it’s official, but I meant to say is that we can’t grasp any info of new army from a BL novel, we have better chances from the GW tomes. 
    In Reynolds novel he described really well the Sacrosant chamber and the Nighthaunt plus the relationship between the different mortarchs and in one piece he described an army of Sylvaneth working for Nagash. The Antagonist of the book however never got a miniature or model to represent him. 
    To have a dread wood type of army would be wonderful but give me a LoN expansion with zombies and vampires all day before that.

    How is an official novel not canon?

    Black library authors have “poetic license”, basically they can add anything they want, does not mean GW will make miniatures out of it. Also usually they don’t know about new releases much before us and that book is now 2 years old...

    As written on the Website: "Combine this set with the rules found in Broken Realm: Morathi, and you can use the various Warscroll Battalions for your army" which to me sound like bundles which include all models you would need to play one of the Battalions

    I'm with you, also calculating the costs of those models they look all suspiciously similar and doable in a Start Collecting type of deal:
    Idoneth is £85, Slaves is £75, SCE is £85 and Cities is £79.5.
    Now at a £55 price those would be a good 35% discount that is not to be disparaged considering the recent price hike, Slaves would need to be priced £50 to have the same type of discount. Obviously they could be priced £60 for a more expensive SC, but still 25-30% discount...

    I ended up selling all my Nighthaunt bundled together as an "army lot". I think the biggest selling point was the 50 chainrasp :D

    Lol, I kept all of them, but I have already 16 Glaivewraiths painted, so no need for 8 more, but I'll keep them on eBay, you never know if Leviadons and Allopexes become strong with a new Broken Realms book, then there's hope also for Glaivewraiths, between the most underrated mini in the range!
    Super excited by these changes, normally these warscrolls are valid also for Matched Play right? Wrath of the Everchosen ones were valid...

    Oh I know but I doubt my 8yo nephew would be impressed if I gave him a set and told him not to open it and keep it safe for a few years! 😂😂

    Hell, I don't think I'll be able to stop from opening it either. Toys are meant to be played with, makes my heart ache when I see people with huge collections of unopened GW box sets, so many armies not being painted! 

    Totally agree :) and I have my shame of unopened GW boxes! Ah the good times when we could afford hoarding... Now I have to be more considerate in my decisions. Anyway, as long as you tell your nephew to not lose any piece, you keep the box and instructions safe, you are good for when he becomes 18 and can sell it at least at double the price (depending on what it is).
