    Also, I was thinking...

    I think Krethusa might be a huge idiot. She doesn't trust Morathi's Khaine schtick, fair enough, but we're past the "queen posing as an oracle" phase. Morathi is a literal god now. The only reason Krethusa has any power is because Morathi freed a sliver of divinity from Slaanesh. So she's just mad that Morai-Heg isn't around anymore? I think the time for rebellion was before Morathi deified herself.

    I know it's part of her lore as a renegade or whatever, but it sucks that Krethusa just doesn't play nice with half of the DoK faction. Like why are we deciding to venture further down this road of dividing an already divisively incentivized army? It's dumb.

    OK, guys...

    I can confirm that skavens are on their way : I've just seen a photo of sprue that someone received by mistake.

    This sprue contains some sort of multi-barrelled cannon (6 to be precise), with a single wheel, a pilot, a gunner and at least four ground servants (I assume they're pushing or manipulating something on this engine). There are two spheres, one of which is attached to a large pipe. The chassis of the machine is made of wood.

    The photo isn't accurate enough to make out the date, but the guy said it’s marked 2024 on the sprue. For now, we're waiting for his agreement to publish the photo and a more precise version to get all this information.

    Cheer up, @Skreech Verminking, @Garrac : the wait is coming to an end !

    You want to share that photo good sir?

    "monstrous infantry" being 5W, regular infantry being 2W, and Stormcast infantry being 3W feels like it would work really well. SCE in general feel like they all need +1W for how basic our tome is now.

    For years I've said that Stormcast should be 3W baseline. They're meant to be super elite infantry. It would help differentiate them more from other factions.

    Love that Kroxigors got an extra wound, made no sense them being 4 not 5. Was hoping that Saurus would go down in points, imo they should not be the same cost as Chaos Warriors, who are just way better.

    Next up, 5 wound Trolls! Make it happen!

    I dont think Realms have much to play in the way of releases. 2nd Edition was Death and Shyish focused and we got Lumineth Realm Lords and Sons of Behemat in that time. Only the narrative is really affected.

    We did also get Nighthaunt, Ossiarch Bonereapers, and Soulblight in 2nd edition. I would agree that 2nd ed is not a good baseline though, as it's really where we saw the start of modern AoS in earnest. Everyone was getting battletomes and new factions were popping out of the woodwork.

    I think the choice of realm focus has *some* relevance to what we may see model-wise. During 3rd ed Ghur it was no coincidence that we got Kruelboyz, Kragnos, and an expansion for IJ. But Destruction clearly was not a focus for the entire run.

    I think whatever the next realm is for 4th, there is a significant, model-related reason that we'll see either sooner or later. Does it mean the whole edition will be Shadow factions? Absolutely not. But the reason could be Malerion's rise to power somewhere in the middle or even end of it. New miniature release schedules form what we see in the narrative, not the other way around.

    We got the confirmation of S2D thanks to a react by our lord and saviour, but is it the same case for Khul ?

    "For a moment, as Lakshar looked upon his master, he could see red. Blood wings spread from Khul’s shoulders; a tail edged with a thousand knives lashed from behind him. Eyes as dark and gleaming as fresh-slit veins. 

    Then he blinked, and Khul was mortal once more, ordering his warriors ever forward. 

    Lakshar bent to collect his hammer. From the stump of his pale wrist now stretched a clawed, red-skinned hand. He straightened to his full height, hefting his weapon once more."

    I think Khul's ascendance will be the catalyst for our Vandus resculpt. Or maybe vice versa.

    I always hear from friends that SW is a great TT game. Haven't tried it yet myself but they prefer it over AoS rule-wise. 

    Legion might be the best designed wargame on the market. I would always be up for a game of Legion, and I don't think I could say that about any other game, even AoS. And I'm not even that much of a Star Wars nerd.

    Hot take : DoK feels incomplete because when they release Malerion's shadow elves they're gonna merge them into one big faction of Ulgu elves.

    This is what I'm hoping for. As a DoK player, I think the one-note Khainite worshippers being bamboozled theme has passed its prime. With Morathi becoming a true god, it no longer makes sense that she would hide it, and a combined force of Khainites and Umbral elves would be sick.

    DoK are already basically shadow elves.

    He's just said that he's been told that Chaos Dwarves will be coming in AOS 4, which is why they weren't included with The Old World

    Putting aside the fact that the dude is almost always wrong and/or just trolling his audience...
    What an easy "prediction" to make. So if Chorfs come out anytime in the next 3 years he can claim success.

    I have info too! My uncle at Nintendo told me Malerion is coming back in 4th edition! Be sure to remember I said this in two years or don't if it never happens!

    If I were GW, I would release a series of three or four Fyreslayer units (golems, droth cavalry, valkyries, pyroslayers, etc) that can potentially be played as their own army (like all IJ pigs). And then in 3-5 years redo the original dwarf sculpts.

    Who cares?

    It's amusing to look retrospectively at the year's models and see which ones people enjoyed. Nobody (I hope) actually cares about what wins; it's just for fun. But there's literally no reason they can't separate 40k from AoS in the voting, which would lift up even more great models that deserve to be recognized.
