    Welp the star didn't align and the prophecy was false

    RIP Lizardmen Astrology, better luck next week 

    I blame the skaven, fouling up the portents with their fell magics!! 

    In hindsight, it wasn't going to be next week as it's black library celebration day. Those new releases should rightfully take centre stage. 

    Fingers crossed for next Sunday!

    I have always thought that Iron-Jawz needed a warmachine option or at least a chariot, as I believe even rudimentary technology would help give them a distinctive identity from bonesplitterz. The chariot option would be especially nice if you could put a hero on 

    That's one of the joys of AoS, you think it, make it. Have it count as warboss on mawcrusher. It simply plows through terrain (fly), lots of spikes and blades (destructive bulk), a big horn (the ear shattering bellow).

    And of course paint it red!

  3. I like the way GW handle releases. They are more open with what's coming out and give regular updates and teases.

    I can't see any retailer giving a release schedule for months in the future as things can change and if you know X is coming in 3 months time, you may not buy Y coming out next week, simple business practice.

  4. It's going to be interesting to see what happens once the psychic awakening series of books are complete. Will the each codex get a 1.5 update with the new rules?

    AoS could see something similar with the campaign books.

    Or maybe the general's handbook this year will see armies get a couple of new warscrolls each or updated ones.

  5. If the gargants are coming from the realm of light maybe they have gitmobs coming with them. Rippa snarlfang from beastgrave came from there is memory serves from a tribe who worship the evil sun. 

    Could see the grotbag scuttlers in there as well, using flying ships to talk/fed/worship the gargants.

    well I think February it going to be filled with the Warcry content (monsters, Spire Tyrant, New Army Cards) and the Wraith of the Everchosen Book along with all the unreleased 40k content. Seraphon may honestly be after Pointy Aelves during the summer period

    Edit: Also I don't expect another AoS Boxset coming out so soon in the next few months since Aether wars just cam out and GW tends to space them out I bit across systems

    There is still a week of Jan to go, for tomorrow 'coming next week' article I predict the last of the sisters and the ogre hunter for underworlds.

    Feb will be warcry (one week)

    Next psychic awakening (one week)

    Chaos siege book (one week) 

    Leaves a week for lizardmen

    Just a nudge but can we get back to rumours please?

    Think the next preview is the Las Vegas Open on 24th Jan which hopefully we will hear what other name the Pointy Aelves go by

    My guess is that it will be something to do with Asur. Asuri? Asurions?

    I feel like GW tested the waters on a Gargant army with the skirmish box sets that provided 2 gargants at a big discount (practically 2 for the price of 1 IIRC) and the associated battalion in Godbeasts. My anecdotal observation was that they didn't sell that well. I've often wondered whether we would get a Gargant army if they did sell really well.

    But they all sold so I'm not sure how they didn't sell well.

    At the end of the day if a model is good people will buy it. Yes are those who will only buy the most powerful and optimal units but there are also painters, collectors, narrative and open gamers who will go for rule of cool.

    If they make a giant faction that looks amazing, it will sell.

  9. Things we know about still to be released:

    Rest of the sisters 

    Warcry monsters

    Underworld ogre

    Chaos book

    Dark angel psychic awakening

    Mechnicum flyer

    That's 6-7 weeks worth of releases which could take us to end of Feb. I can easily see a week for lizards battletome, endless spells, terrain and start collecting box fitting in.

    No one pays full price for the kharadron overlords skywardens and gunhaulers, you get a start collecting. This box set is 2 start collecting boxes worth of content and I'm fine with it, I brought the new battlebox but it's not 190 quids worth of stuff.

    Fair point, I forgot about the start collecting set. There is still a discount however.

    In Aether wars, they collected the models I found most overpriced of the two factions. There really isn't that much plastic in the box.

    Assuming the hero's will be £20 the contents are £190. You can get the box for £88 from places like element games. I'm happy with that discount

  12. Wether wars is by far my fave box set they've released so far. Love the idea of everything flying, may even make some terrain for it.

    These box sets are a great idea, discounted models that can be the start of a new army, reinforcements or just a painting project.

    It would be nice to have the exclusive models available separately in a good timeframe  and hopefully we'll start to see last year's one soon.

    Bring on the next one!

    I think it's a new iteration of the lunar crest the Teclis models had on his helmet. That was part of his devotion to the elven moon-goddess Lileath but largely got associated with him. Suggests to me that if that isn't Teclis himself or his avatar, it's some sort of priest-wizard leader dude with great authority in Hysh.

    There's probably potential in the background for something symbolic and interesting about these dudes being an army of the Realm of Light and Teclis sort of being the moon while Tyrion is the sun... and then maybe something further about how despite the moon only shining with the sun's reflected light, Tyrion is blind and can only see through Teclis.

    In the first Gotrek audio drama there is a passing reference to a priest of Teclis so the silhouette could be that because we all know priests have the best hats!

    I personally am suspecting the Hysh army,  although I am unsure what exactly that is going to be.

     

    Also expect them to announce that Sisters will have their wide release in February. 

    They've already said sisters are a January release

    Ok, opinions may differ on whether factions should all get xyz.

    But, on the subject of someone being a good rumor source, did you look up the posting history? Bc it is more than just this one thing Whitefang has gotten correct.

    I've seen only educated guesses and wide net casting. If I were privy to information, I know I wouldn't breathe a word as I wouldn't want to endanger the position.

    But for all I know it's actually Jervis Johnson giving out tidbits lol

    What do Orruks need priests for?  They already have Shaman, who are seen as channelling the power of Gork (or Mork) and their God's message is pretty obvious even to an Orruk.  They had the energy of the Waaagh given proper meaning in the Battletome;  They didn't need the intervention of priests or terrain  or endless spells to generate it for them.

    I meant orruks not having endless spells was a surprise to me. As they have shamans and docs.

    Not fussed they don't, my ironjaws prefer a good scrap than all this magic nonsense!!!

    Just take a moment, and look back through the posting history of Whitefang.  

    I mean I could mention that both Khorne and Fyreslayers got endless 'spells'.  But, that is really not the point.  Just take a look back.  

    Both Khorne and fyreslayers have priests.

    CoS have empowered generic ones which makes sense as they have access to stormcast and sylvaneth ones.

    Orukks not having them was a surprise.
