I'd be shocked if any of the real expansions are already released models.
I think people are working on the assumption that these models were intended for Cursed City expansions but were released independently when Cursed City hit whatever roadblock it did. There is no evidence that that's the case and, personally, I think it's unlikey for most of them but Radukar the Beast seems like a no-brainer for an expansion. Hopefully with some new minions in tow.

There was a post by ADB somewhere - might've been Reddit or B&C - where I believe he said the only BL books that really sell are about Space Marines and that if BL cared only about sheer profit, they'd never release anything but Horus Heresy and Marine books covering the big three Chapters.
Even Inquisition, Imperial Guard and Chaos books don't seem to shift too well.
With BL being the only arm of GW that's been losing money or barely making a profit, I guess it's not too much of a surprise the focus is overwhelmingly on 40k.
The exception being books by ADB himself - I swear the man could write about the fungal stage of an Ork's life cycle and we'd all buy it.

That looks great. The yellow light, in particular, looks brilliant.
A green-lit Skaven theme sounds awesome - I look forward to seeing it.
-
I'm a sucker for shiny new models. The budget and the shameful pile of unpainted models is the only thing keeping me in check.

That does sound good. Throw in the Silver Tower heroes too - I'd love my Darkoath Warchief to emerge vistorious from the tower and wander straight into the Cursed City.
-
Glad to see it return. I got a copy but there were so many people who were disappointed. Now I just have to finish painting it before the expansions show up.

I'm supposed to be saving money right now but GW are not being cooperative. I might need a big red dragon in my life more than I need to make adult decisions and fiscal responsibility.

What he said^^^^
I certainly think it will be ripe for proxies - Cities of Sigmar is just leftover Empire so I think there is a pretty good chance you will be able to comfortably use some Kislev models in your Cities army etc. Etc.

Rumours seem a little......easy. Like, some fairly safe guesswork that most of us have probably made already. Plus it's on faeit, which has just become clickbait.
I also feel like it's far sooner than GW was pitching. I thought they were floating a 2024 timeframe but I may be misremembering.

Seems like that's their standard box-release model at the moment. Change for the better, in my opinion.

I really wanted them to do a plush squig but this is just too...seasonal. Give me an unadorned version and I will purchase it in a heartbeat, GW.

Sooooo don't sign the NDA.....
You can always buy the stuff and post critical reviews anyway. Not seeing too much of a problem here but I have very little sympathy for people accepting free stuff and being unhappy with the t's and c's. Nobody is being forced to do anything here - saying no is always an option.

Ik we only just got 3e but this basically confirms in my mind that 4e will deal with Slaanesh breaking free.
Some people were certain of that for the 2nd editon launch though. And Broken Realms. And the Hedonites second wave.
I have to agree that an Ulgu setting would follow the pattern though.
-
Not really all that excited by this Kruleboyz warband. I have loved the stuff for them so far but these guys just aren't doing anything for me. Maybe there is a bit too much going on with them....

Its a bummer, but I recall back in the old days, you only had the rules in the books. So I'm not that shocked. I hope the warscrolls on paper last for a long time this edition though!
Yeah, it feels like going back to how things used to be. Disappointing but not surprising.
I'm not a gamer so it doesn't affect me but I buy battletomes on occasion because I generally enjoy them. Guess GW just wants to sell more of them.
Are there warscrolls in the Generals Handbook?

troggoths are all pretty monstrous in my opinion.
They're just misunderstood. And a bit grumpy.
I don't actually play so I had never noticed that. It does seem a little odd but at least it's consistant across Kruleboyz and Gitz. Wonder if the Sloggoth will have the keyword? It's one of the most monstrous things I've seen.

That would be a first time they sneak in an underworld model into promotional material for an AoS army wouldn't it? I have my doubts about this at least, but of course can not deny it is possible.
The Warhammer Community facebook post saying all Kruleboyz models have been shown is the only thing that pushes me towards an Underworlds model. But then a seperate post said there was more to come so who knows!?
In the currently shown stuff there is no way to get a Killboss seperately so that seems very possible too. Just not the most likely to my mind.

Probably from the Underworlds warband?
That seems the likely answer. Here's hoping for a couple more like that in the set.
-
Pretty sure that's the old Chaos Spawn model.

You don’t by any chance work in the bike industry do you ?
Close! Auto but more car than bike. Certainly just one among many industries affected.

Just for AoS though, 40K seems to ship just fine. I don't buy it. "The global situation" has just become a catch all excuse for any company these days whenever they mismanage something or have delays. It has become the "my dog ate my homework" of corporations these days.
The "global situation" is not worse than it was a year ago, at this point delays should be planned for and managed.
Maybe. Certainly not worse but I would argue still not better. And there are always other things going on. At my work, for example, we have just received stock that was on that ship that got stuck in the Suez Canal. And a factory fire in Japan last year means we are still struggling to get stock of products that contain their product. I'm learning a lot about the global supply-chain this year!
There is the genuine possibilty that GW are deliberately prioritising 40K - if it is as large a portion of their sales as popular rumour holds than I can see why they would make sure that arrives first. Shipping containers are limited.
Maybe not popular, maybe not fair, maybe not even close to the truth. Only GW knows and they are not telling, unfortunately. Just means I don't get my Kruleboyz as soon as I thought. I can live with that.

Or it is the physical books holding back the app release.
Makes a lot of sense. The books are printed in China, right?
Delays are the rule with COVID and shipping.

I might actually get all my models painted it before I play it, which is a first for me. My wife and I are very casual board gamers so I am really looking forward to it.

Anyone know of a single post/webpage/etc. compiling the latest AoS rumors, akin to @WarbossKurgan's Rumor Engine page?
I know this thread had a running compilation early on...
I don't think so.
It would be a lot of work compiling all the rumours out there. And then sifting the obvious trolling from the probably trolling from the possible rumous from the speculation. And then all of Whitefang's likes. All of which would then get repeated elsewhere as rumours. Or just post it all and be attacked by the community for lying when things turn out differently.
That might sound a little sarcastic - it is not intended to be. I really think that there is a good reason nobody keeps track of rumours in any systematic way.
Cursed City Expansions?

So I've re-read the Quest book for the first time since release and it talks about corpse-rats as big as horses - I want that!
