Stormcast are not allowed to ride horse π
I think Stormcast have already anykind of mount : dracoth, stormdrake, tauralon, gryph charger, dracoline, stardrake !!!
We hope for something fancier !
My take on Stormcast :
Lord-Ruinator on Azyrite steed
Knight-Ruination
Knight Vexillor with banner of ruin
10 new liberators in thunderstrike armour
3 new Retributors in thunderstrike armour
3 new prosecutors in thunderstrike armour
5 brand new Ruinators π
Let's do 4th edition box bingo ! π
I think it will be big as Leviathan too : so roughly 25 Stormcast and 47 Skaven !
I really hope Stormcast contain at least a ruination chamber unit and not "just boring" refresh of liberators/retributors/prosecutors in thunderstrike armour.
Sigmar lied ! π
There is no Warhammer fest as physical event but it could be possible to have a Warhammer fest online as it was in 2021 due to covid/pandemia and where they revealed AOS 3.0 : 9 of the Biggest Reveals from Warhammer Fest Online - Warhammer Community (warhammer-community.com)
At the Adepticon they could just show a short teaser about 4.0 .... because we want to see finally the Lady of Ruin ! π

From the rumors I heard (Hastings) the game will develop with narrative books/campaign after the 2 year factions release : from year 2276 in border princes wars heading slowly towards year 2301 with siege of Praag (great war against chaos)
(Current) ToW design manager is Rob Alderman which is Middlearth design manager as well: so I would expect same support and development.
We can not really compare ToW to HH.
Yes but consider that it will take 2 years to release the 9 focused factions ( one every 3 months with 3 waves). Then the support will be more or less what Middlearth got : campaigns books with new FW resins kits.
And yes, BoC seem to be moved into ToW.
He received already a couple of " like" from Whitefang the original.
Every body was guessing about bretonnian/halflings team but he made a " word game" about genomes=gnomes.
He has definitely some good source
Whitefang liked this SG Warhound's post too! πͺππ
maybe "warpvolt obliterators" are the "Skaven new invention" that can "destroy" Stormcasts' souls ??
Refresh of clan rats, stormvermin ,grey seer and warlord are pretty much confirmed by Whitefang and they are listed in SG Warhound rumors.
I think we are all looking for "a Tyranids refresh treamentent" for Skaven 4.0 πππ
I think even earlier : "Things are going from bad to worse in the Mortal Realms, and yet more depredations are to come in Dawnbringers Book V: The Shadow of the Crone, which is coming to a pre-order near you very soon⦠"
Probably preorder 2nd of March
They deliberately reclyced TTW3 artworks for TOW. For the first 2 years and an half after the announcement they published only maps.
They probably start working on the project in June 2022 when Hastings reported the rumours about Bretonnia and Tomb kings kits back in production for " fancy painting for the new book".
Don't expect more than the 9 focused factions and Middlearth style support.
