Another week with 40k. Are they serious?! It’s been two month with nothing but two new heroes no one needed. I cannot understand how any company can consider it a good market strategy to focus entirely one one product at a time. IMO it would make so much more sense to switch focus every week or so, or even have a little bit of both main games every week. Say models for 40k and rumours for AOS in the same week. Next week it’s models for AOS and rumours for 40K.
Im seriously frustrated about this. January is boring enough without this…
well there's literally no unrevealed AOS stuff right now so there won't be any AOS preorders until we're actually shown something first!

I thought I recalled originally seeing something earlier but right now Amazon is saying the paperback for Cursed City returns May 10th.

Witchhunters, Skaven, Zombies, and Shadow Aelves, IIRC. There is a bit of a problem with that though, in that the Roadmap for current season only shows three warbands coming-one standone alone and two in a box set for a total of six.
OTOH, the Harrowdeep novel which releases in a few days has stories starring Stormcasts, "Feuding Pirates" and a "Pair of Priests" for whatever that's worth.
Nah the Roadmap just didn't show Q3 and Q4 when the next 2 warbands would come out. The Q2 boxset is part of a new season. According to GW, an Underworlds season now consists of 1 core set + 2 expansions for a total of 4 warbands per season, 8 in 1 year.

This season of Underworlds probably has the coolest "not gonna happen background army" yet.

I’m surprised the Underworlds warbands haven’t gone up after the drastic price jump of the starter.
In fairness it wasn't actually an increase if you factor in the MSRP of the significant increase in cards in that starter compared to the previous. Now I'm certainly not saying that GW's pricing for card packs is reasonable, but if you already take GW pricing as a given, it was really just a case of bundling more stuff in the starter than previous seasons.

I wonder if it'll be another 'part of a model' teaser video like they did last time.
Honestly I thought that teaser video was great last year. Generated a lot of great speculation.

Teeny tiny rumour, a friend on the inside implied something Skaven was coming soon but wouldnt be drawn on what system the git
Ofc with all the delays that might still be 2025 
Well the rumor that seems like it could be panning out so far on the Underworlds teams suggested an Eshin team (which would make sense for a lot of reasons).

Yeah I know the theme of the advent engine doesn't give much hope but that image looks extremely AoS death.

The boxed / specialist games product pipe seems to be a bit quicker than 40K and AOS. I assume this is as much around product development in terms of points, rules and balance in the big multi-tied games as it is actual model design and tooling.
Or perhaps the specialist stuff has all been sitting in warehouses ready to go because 40k and AOS gets priority for schedule, and these things have been kicked back to keep the big systems on track as much as possible. Warcry, for example, went almost a full year without any releases, so I wouldn't be surprised if the initial plan was to release Red Harvest much sooner.

Before some people get too excited over ogre release, remember that Warhammer underworlds is already rumoured to have ogre maneater leading a warband with parrot and monkey. It wouldn't surprise me if the ogre in the middle is that said underworld ogre.
I think the left one is most likely warcry model. I'm not expecting huge Aos faction revamp (or new aos faction) in the preview day. That Khorne rumour honestly sounds kinda likely since Khorne is one of those more or less "complete" factions, which makes it easy "here's your new btome with new hero, now scram"-release.Especially because Underworlds is listed as part of the reveal and the next release on their roadmap is said pirate warband.

I fully expect this to be unveiled for a November release at the end of the month at Warhammerfest. I believe we will have the Chaos Tome and any new minis for that Faction Previewed alongside the upcoming Underworlds warbands.
In recent history GW has not revealed more than 1 Underworlds warband at at time. I'd temper expectations a bit.

That was my impression as well, but after looking up the dates of announcements they have actually been shockingly consistent, mostly within a four-day window in the middle of November! Looks like we have a month before we know what's coming.
2016 – November 15th
2017 – November 19th
2018 – November 5th (Two were teased on Warcom on Oct 28)
2019 – November 15th
2020 – November 16th
And I'd honestly not be shocked if they skipped them this year given how much stuff they seem to have backlogged and the state of the supply chain. Of course, that's what I thought last year in the midst of the early part of the pandemic so who knows
Makes sense they're pretty consistent to try to time with when people start thinking about holiday shopping.

Hello, again me
What is coming next to WU?
Yes Pirate ogre/maneater is coming with his parrot and monkey
Next warband will be Necromancer and zombies (they have interesting link to lighting bolts :D)
New starter will include Malerion aelves
Human warband=Witch hunters
And yes we are still getting 8 warbands this season.If this is true I might just have to buy every warband this year...good thing I play Underworlds too!
Also a Frankenstein-esque zombie would make perfect sense as the nature of underworlds warbands is that there always needs to be a "bruiser" in more of a "horde" warband.

It's like this company just does not want to sell their own product sometimes...
Preorder day expectations is mostly just a lot of frustration and disappointment at this point, although I would love to be proven wrong.
Just the opposite. They do want to sell their own product. What they don't want is for 3rd party retailers to sell much of it because GW makes more money if you buy direct from GW.

Sprues and Brews has a Dominion unboxing up as well as all the warscroll cards.

Yeah, they should continue making models for them until they manage to create one that isn't a ridiculous buffoon. 😎
If that was the barometer they could have stopped with the launch box. Light of Eltharion is their best model and it isn't even close. It is sorta sad that he doesn't fit that well with any of the other 2 dozen units.

Interestingly it didn't look like any of the models have sculpted bases so we probably won't be seeing Underworlds repackaging for any of the models like we did with Dreadfane and the new Underworlds Starter set.

2+ save. I wonder with some of the limitations to modifiers in this edition (rumored) if we'll being seeing more 2+s (Kragnos too).

3 out of 4 dentists agree this is a glib argument. There are so many factors that can introduce bias at every level of sampling that you are completely ignoring.
Errors are inevitable, but is 5% error is acceptable? What's the standard deviation you are willing to accept? What confidence level are you willing to accept?
What topic are you polling on and how do you minimize bias on that subject? Which people are selected? Are you taking a random sample? Are geographic and cultural differences adding bias? How do you account for those factors?
1000 people selecting which army they play on warhammer weekly is not definitive proof of anything except the warhammer weeklys audience that is also willing to answer the poll (and assuming they're not lying). I'm not going to derail the rumour thread any further with this topic
Expecting such miniscule levels of error is not common practice in polling. Since we're talking about polling for hobby preferences all the more so :). Even general election polls in the USA tend to be ~500-1000 respondents.

If you think 500 respondents is inherently a representative sample of 300mil+ then you should consider taking a statistic analysis course

These polls are of a significant sample size such that they could be considered representative of global popularity...?
Even if it somehow were the case, GW cares about revenue and not popularity (however you define that nebulous term).
A handful of people voting in a forum is in no way indicative of any current faction not selling enough to justify being removed from the range.
Absolutely. If I recall, the Warhammer Weekly poll had over 1000 respondents. If you were trying to poll the entire population of the USA, you'd only need ~500 respondents to be considered representative.
And to your point on Revenue, Fireslayers actually ranked at the bottom of 2 of their polls. The 1st was on aesthetics, and the 2nd was on "which armies do you play." If you're at the bottom on both those aspects, there's no way they're selling models.
Ofc with all the delays that might still be 2025

Yeah very surprising that the next UW Warband won't be previewed since I think most people are assuming it is an April release. Waiting til Adepticon at the end of March seems odd and what are the odds there's another reveal between now and then?
