  1. On the subject of "generic humans", I'd like to see a faction of "Free Resistance" or "Loyalists of Sigmar" or something, basically scrappy veterans who lived under Chaos Rule and formed a united militia against Chaos. Basically like a cross between Free Peoples and Skaven where all their steam tanks and monsters are battle scarred and bolted together haphazardly, with generals and priests wearing imitation Stormcast armour or something.

    It should be noted its far from that - armies like Tyranids have massive models and huge diverse range - indeed many 40K armies are reaching a point where they are pretty well rounded out! 

    But it's been many years since 40k had a Tyranid release, with multiple space marine releases per year. I think that's the situation people would like to avoid with AoS, though arguably we're already at that point.

  3. I like the idea of a proud noble race that has gradually descended into savagery. They still see themselves as paragons and act in ways that hint at their glorious past, but are monsters who others fear.

    Also they're dinosaurs and they wear the skulls of other dinosaurs and that's just the dopest thing ever.

    One of my local game store just confirmed the price increase on Facebook. They say it will take effect on the 8th of July. I'm in Canada, so the increase is not only for the US.

    Didn't the CSM stuff just release? Or is it oIder? I honestly can't believe the nerve it takes to increase the price on items less than six months after they've hit shelves.

    I hope (delicate word for hardcore wish-listing) that wanderers focus on the Wild Rider Aesthetic. Its the strongest kit in the wanderer range and would be great as a centre unit. Add in some other hunter types, lord on a big gnarly Elk, maybe a shapeshifter or two (bear size and Wolf size thank you) and of course Orion/Kurnoth/Green Man etc with two dope hounds. Some summoned animals as spells (hounds, falcons and maybe ferret) and lastly a Hunters outpost for terrain, Think Treehouse with falcon eyrie and a handy bow and spear.

     

    If they have time for Pop marines then they bloody have time for wood elves 😂

    An animal focused Wanderers would be a wonderful new faction and very distinct from Sylvaneth.

    I'm very hopeful for the Wanderers range, as it is the most supported of the old elf ranges. 

    I think the other elven kits will be consolidated with whatever shadow/light elves come out or dropped.

  6. I'm inclined to believe (like some others have mentioned) that the Sylvaneth delay is having a domino affect with other similar battletome/scenery/spells releases being pushed back as well (I assume they're all manufactured or shipped by the same company). GW's breakneck release schedule is likely starting to give. 

    I think the lion is part of a united Aelves warband that is hopefully called literally anything other than "Aelves".

    I mean Ironjawz just need a real release, if they do get new models, then problem solve, they are not far off from the amount of unit Fyreslayer and FEC has

    I would say that Bonesplitterz are at least in Fyreslayer tier of popularity or above, so they might as well get their own release as well

    But it's easier for Games Workshop to increase sales by combining them rather than investing in a full release.

    My theory on the nature of the Stormvaults is that they hold all of Sigmar's failed ideas, every attempt to create an army to retake the mortals realms. Like that possessed (possessing?) sword from the WD short story; an army where you can't destroy the chain of command, kill the general, and the guy next to him picks up the sword and becomes him. Shame it's crazy...

    It would be interesting if it was an expansion that added units to a handful of different armies, depending on what escapes from the vault and which armies they happen to join. Like SC units for different races or light monsters that are tamed by different factions.
