Stuff like that seems to be happening a lot lately

Looking forward to seeing the darkling covens new abilities, my sorceress may leave her tower to lead an army! I would love them to combine a few fractured armies into one, like putting the shadowblades into the darkling covers, would make the army a bit more playable

Which warscrolls aren't available? I just looked all of them up on the app.

What faction is it? We don't know what's in the GHB yet and which factions will get stuff. Also were only half way throughout the year and had 6 battletomes so far, with sylvaneth coming and at least 4 more to come. Compared to the release rate of any edition to warhammer this is awesome. It sucks if your chosen army isn't one of those 11 but you will get your time. I'm a huge dark elf fan, I've a massive army waiting to come out of retirement, along with a high elf, wood elf and slaves to darkness army but everyone's time will come, its just about being patient

I think the new GW does care about us plebs, the designers, artists, rulemakers are also hobbyists and you only have to talk to them at events to see they are passionate about what they do. Yes GW is a business and its goal is to make money but it's a far cry from the GW of 5-6 years ago. Leading on from that I'll say their profits are an indicator to how well the game is doing and I think they are doing quite well. Shops on British high streets are suffering, yet GW is bucking that trend. I would also say threads on forums only represent a small % of gamers, with the majority not posting or even members of forums.

I mis spoke when I said doesn't fit in AoS, as its been stated and I agree with, anything can fit in AoS. I just think it would be cooler to have something new and fresh. The next evolution of the tomb kings so to speak

That's a fair point and I do agree with what others have said, anything can fit in the mortal realms, its one of the biggest strengths of AoS. I think it's more I want new stuff! Regardless I'm looking forward to what comes out

That's true and you're right about the sculpts, I've always liked the snakes and queen kalidia is a awesome model. Regardless of what comes out, I'm excited to see it!

It's only really Egyptian feel because of the colour scheme shown and the statutes are gryph chargers not jackals. And pyramids aren't just Egyptian. A lot of the old warhammer armies drew on our history and stories: Arthurian knights, ancient Egypt, Aztecs etc. The mortal realms don't, they have a favour of their own. It seems GW even want to stay away from the standard fantasy troupe of elves, dwarfs and human, which I think is a good thing. Give a nod to the old tomb kings but give us something new.

If tomb kings are coming back I hope it is all new models. The Egyptian theme doesn't fit the mortal realms and we've got ghost, skeletons and zombies already, let's have a construct army with troops made of stuff cobbled together. I'm hoping if anything the background hints at the origin being from khemri, like the flesh eaters hint at being bretonnians, but that's it.

There is also chaos knights, apocalypse and the ad mech transport to be released, so with contrast, GH and warcry that's 6 out of 7 Saturdays for June July starting with the 15th June and contrast release

Which would defo lead to confusion you stated as not everyone buys digital copies. Also they don't have the endless spells or terrain to release with the book.

They can't make it available if they don't physically have it

As they've just announced the underworld grand clash at warhammer world on the 6th/7th July I agree with you. Also lets not forget they released two army books at once with ghouls and skaven so we could get a situation like that again

Except Gotrek didn't die in the End times, the Bretonnians and tomb kings did however. There are way more new characters than one's who survived the End Times. One of the best things about the mortal realms is there infinite scope, if you can imagine it, it can happen and like I said I do think GW is striking a good balance of history and new stuff

GW can't win here however, some express opinions like yourself, while others want the return on tomb kings and bretonnians. I think they are striking a pretty good balance of nods to the rich history of warhammer while giving a AoS spin on it. One thing I really enjoyed about realmslayer was seeing the mortal realms through the eyes of someone newly arrived there, just like we are.

Tomorrow is black library live so will be all book related. I want every war cry war band so far, don't care if the game is good or not, as painting projects they are fantastic

We don't know that they are all going, its second hand knowledge that doesn't have the full information. My guess and its only a guess is that they will be repacked into larger pots. I would also guess that cermite white is being replaced Edit* cerimite white is replaced with corax white, everything apart from the glazes is going to larger pots and the glazes are going so if you want them, I would stock up

Thank you!

Cheers! And absolutely! I love painting armies and there is so much choice in AoS.

Finished my 2k Skryre army done, been fun doing a skaven army with only 30 models! Will get the gnawholes and endless spells next. All C&C welcome.

Big thing in June is contrast and big thing in July is Warcry. Both have been marketed heavily.

My guess is contrast paints, Generals handbook and hopefully sylvaneth stuff in the first few weeks of June. 40k stuff for the last part of June, beginning of July followed by Warcry to kick off a great summer

Wonder if this means we'll see preorders next week then

I could only see the old one
