On one hand. No Ogre tome in the next few months means I can finish my 5k points of fat boys and have a fully painted army On the other, I really want no Ogre rules. They need some tricks or flavor

I do wonder if these supply chain issues, especially with the books, might push GW into a new format for releasing battletomes and codex. If the rumors of Warhammer+ not doing well are to be believed, perhaps they would see an opportunity to switch the narrative and tie those releases into warhammer+ in the app.

With yeah, but even Im a little disappointed and I was pretty conservative xD. Really would have liked to see a tome teaser if anything, or a bit of narrative stuff even if small. Solid box for Nighthaunt though! Will be very popular for sure

New Nighthaunt book with fresh, interesting rules would be a big hit I feel. Ghosts are a sleeper hit, and I imagine you'll see an explosion of them in hobby groups if they get flavorful and useful rules. Personal expectations are to see IDK and Fyrslayer books (leaning on a combined dwarf release to build off the end of BR:Belikor), Nighthaunt Battletome announcement and that's it. Anything more I'll take as a bonus, but I feel thats a pretty conservative expectation. I think we're in for a good few months of heavy 40k focus.

Absolute shame, yeah.

Id be happy to see a souped dwarf book. Just so long as each army keeps there uniqueness and viability. If only because the lore of that book will be suuuuper juicy

Heres hoping we get a good roadmap then! Hoping for more then IDK and FS tomes. Maybe an additonal two coming tombs, hints at future lore, and maybe a look at the next big release for AoS. Even if its a teaser

Great to see it confirmed. Really, really needed a reveal show to jazz up my hobby mojo

Anymore more of them rumors for hogoblins or chaos dwarves?

LVO is on January 28th, so we will have a reveal there. So no worries about waiting 3 months!

Dying for a reveal stream or something. I need something to jazz up my hobby grind lol

Honestly, cities and the people of the realms becoming the centrepiece is a dream scenario. We need more grassroots stories in the mortal realms, not just gods clashing

Oh? My money is on Lumineth if thats the case. Since there are supposedly even more kits coming eventually with Tyrion and the other temples

For me its the heads. The details are much more crisp for sure, but holding the heads of the old kit up to the new one... big change

Its really crazy how that name has infiltrated the rumors since that fake. In general i'd absolutely put money on Dark elves being something turned up to 11 if Lumineth are anything to go on. Lots of cloaks, shadows and mist effects galore.

Could be a DOK character in a cursed city expansion.

Im still of the mind that an Ogre refresh isn't super in the cards. They've aged pretty well, and most of the whole range is in plastic. New Butcher and characters is what I really want to see for them in the short/ to medium run for them.

Calling it. Its going to be a new Fyreslayer and Idoneth Character in a battlebox

I'd say expect not, and be pleasantly surprised! Next big release is 40k for sure, with whatever this eldar and chaos box is going to be!

No complaints here. Eldar might be 40k, but those poor folks need the attention xD.

Honestly I hope this is the big reveal leadup to an eldar 40k release. Well I'm always hungry for more AoS news, those guys have been sold way down the river for too long. Here's hoping it's everything they want!

It's Croc-A'clock! With the Krul boyz being orruks instead of grots and goblins i'm giving them a pass for now. Being responsible and actually finishing an army with my ogres even if I'm going to shoot myself in the foot if sculpts end up getting replaced after all this work xD. But god nothing goes better with swamps then crocodiles.

Don't mind waiting for the Dominion preorder honestly. I have enough to work on before heaping on a box of plastic even if I plan to sell the stormcast half. But I would greatly appreciate some lore information for these new Orruks. Aesthetics wise they are banging on all cylinders, but I am anxious to see their character in the story. How does this change the orc hierarchy between clans/ factions, considering how different these are aesthetically and anatomically from the orc design we've been conditioned too expect. Not to mention the glaring, weird case of Kragnos. Who well I agree can slot into destruction, certainly is an oddity at first, naked glance. I dunno, I want the deets! No need to spoil all the rules bits, just give us some real cool Warhammer community releases introducing us to the faction in the lore.

I think the only thing that could dissuade me from these guys is the lore at this point. Still confused about Kragnos, and the synopsis of his broken realms book which I won't delve into for spoilers. I just don't at all get why he is a central god to this army. Very underwhelmed by him as a deity at the moment, but will see I suppose. My other army being Ogres, i'm still wary of their new sculpts having derpy faces vs. these guys who are just perfection. More Warmachines and wolf riders is a beautiful thing though!

Hoping they leave the squigs to the other greenskins myself. Gloomspite and even Ironjawz would do it far better, and I'd much prefer to see more creatures like the warboss' mount over squigs! Kragnos is... absolutely weird as a patron. He seems like the opposite of everything these guys represent at a glance. I'm interested to see how they've justified it writing wise... but at the same time, am hoping their lore is not Kragnos centric as a deity. Would much prefer them godless. Just fighting for self advancement and to cause pain for their amusement and self indulgence.
