Scandinavian here, this was my first thought as well.
Also, a TLDR from this month's White Dwarf:
Hrunspuul the Hound of the Cairns is a Godbeast and the progenitor, or so legends claim, of the Vyrkos Vampires. It's lair is hidden somewhere in Shyish.
Never thought I'd be excited for a Death release but my god I want wolf-vampires

they already got endless spells, have seen some saying that it could be the fox spirit for the wind temple
Wow I completely forgot these released... maybe someone else's Endless then, I can't see how this would fit with a model

Did anyone suggest that this rumor might mean Endless Spells for Lumineth? Was looking over other articles after the "leaked" article today and realized this pic must be for LRL if the Wind Temple is their next release:

Welp if they put werewolves into a vampire army, I guess I'll have no choice but to buy a Death box.... Sigmar forgive me.
I get why they'd put the 'monsters' together but with vampires and werewolves usually at odds in most fiction it still feels weird.

Also cogforts need to be a thing like asap
I was talking about this with some friends last week, the concept is amazing & Soulbound even has a story mission based around riding one and helping the crew, but the sheer scale of them means I doubt we'll see them on tabletop. Maybe a mobile weapons platform or a much smaller fort. "Cogpost" is right there for a cog-mobile outpost.

A cheap airbrush absolutely changed the hobby for me because of this.
Priming is now quicker, easier, cheaper and then you have all the the normal benefits of having an airbrush on top of that.
you still do it outside right? I'm with @Beastmaster so I just wait until Spring to prime everything I've built in fall/winter. especially with pets, I don't ever want aerosolized paint in my house

Our Endless spells are good, especially the Comet.
Stormcast have a huge variety of builds but their effectiveness is... yeah. If you aren't a highly competitive tourney player then you can focus on the units you like instead of purely optimal builds. And even with that you'll find overlap: Vanguard Raptors are one of my favorite units by aesthetic, and also one of our most consistently powerful

It's Nobledark, this glorious inbetween because unlike the other two settings those people can still be saved and redeemed instead of "their souls are tainted, killing them is the only option!". That's the case of many "Reclaimed" in the setting as former chaos tribes or those who had to live in their lands are reintegrated into society and the cleansing powers of realm magic & the demigod armies can purify their souls.
That's certainly a freeguild unit they could make too. Former chaos marauders that bear the symbols of Order to protect their new homes. Heavy Aqshy, Ghyran & Chamon focus would be most lore appropriate for the advances there. Stuff like the mixed tribesmen having details like fire weapons, Ghyran spite famaliars or clockwork weaponry from the realm of metal would be ace.
never heard that term before but I already like it! Love the idea of "reclaimed" humans coming back to Order too, is this from a book?? That would be amazing to see a ragtag/irregular unit of ex-chaos humans in Cities

my models keep breaking in transport, enough said.
have you looked into magnetized cases? I haven't made one yet but they look simple enough to do

To get things back on topic, I would love a model of the Ur-grub and hopefully the Silent People. I mean look how cool this art is.
The Silent People are definitely #1 on my new factions list (even if only an UW warband), and I do hope they turn out to be insectoid beings as I think they're a criminally underused fantasy faction. They could even be "silent" to humanoids but speak in tones or melodies only they can hear! I'm thinking sonic weapons like the Geonosians in Star Wars have

Silly question but is Blood Bowl a fun game even if you don't follow American Football?
I am really tempted to get the Ogre team to run as Maneaters but I would also really want to check out the game proper while I was at it.well I can tell you one thing at least: you'll be watching more of a football game than the NFL airs on TV

Yeah, all I see are a bunch of people that have no idea what women look like apparently. Are you white-knighting
you're really going to come in here and call us white knights because we think that a fantasy tabletop game can include hulking warriors that are ladies? If you've never met or even seen a woman who is taller and/or broader than you, either you're The Mountain in real life or you don't know what women look like yourself.

And to be honest, I personally started playing WHF grimdark style, where you best not be female around a bunch of Slaneesh Chaos Warriors... but AoS seems to try its best for noblebright, there is that.
Gates of Azyr, the first AOS book released, opens with Aqyshy refugees being hunted by members of their own tribe who were converted into raving cannibals by Khornates. Then you find out they were converted by being forced to choose between death or eating other captives to receive Khorne's Gifts. AOS is certainly grimdark; having more 'good people' than 40k doesn't change that.

Wait. You built the whole SCE half of Soul Wars in 3 hours? Seriously, how did you do that? It'd take me 3 hours just to cut all the parts from the sprues... Then, another a few hours to wash them. And probably 3 to 6 hours to assemble everything... Not to mention, I'm wary of cutting parts for too many models at the same time, as I'm worried I'll end up mixing them up. Overall, it seems like something that would take me at least a few days, if I pushed myself to really assemble all of these models together.
to be fair, they are all Easy to Build so i'm sure that cut off a couple hours
but once I got into the groove of it, they went pretty quick regardless. I didn't glue the pegs in to make painting easier, same with shields and some weapons. After assembling guardsmen back in 5th ed this was a cakewalk lol

10 hours ago, Nighthaunt Noob said:There was no resin in the early years of LotR so I don't think that was it, although it is entirely possible I'm just misremembering.
we haven't been recommended to wash sprues since resin/metal (mostly) went away. LOTR had (has?) a bunch of metal so that's probably what it was

it's interesting reading through this because I have the same problem of being slow (or skipping hobbying in favor of Total War or Vermintide), but I've not had much of a problem buying too much. I have some extras I'd rather not have sitting around, and two Underworlds starters still sitting at a friend's house after trying to coax some buddies into it.
It took me about 2 months to actually crack open Soul Wars properly to build the Stormcast, but when I did I got their whole half done in 2-3 hours. If you can at least focus on finishing one box at a time, should give you some more dents in your pile.
I do want to echo the others' saying you should prioritize what you truly want to paint and play--I love so many models in the AOS range but I know my purchasing needs to be limited to Stormcast (chosen tabletop army) and a few Underworld Warbands I can't take my eyes off of for painting (and possible UW games). Spreading yourself too thin means you'll always have the nagging thought of "I need to do the next one!" and I can't imagine that makes things enjoyable to do.
If for nothing else, selling off what you're not as interested in means more room for new releases. Right now I've got Stormcast to enjoy, and curbing my spending now means if Seraphon get updated models I have room/money for them

Off topic so I'll be brief, I have a feeling the next starter will feature m/f liberators and judicators with some new goodies thrown on top. Just a hunch really.
Without scrapping those two kits, (wouldn't mind as SCE design had shifted ever so slightly) this seems like the only logical way to bring this popular requested change or make a warcry band. ✊
A Warcryband seems most likely at this point unfortunately, unless GW decides to do a parallel kit that allows you to drop ladycast in among your existing libs/judis. My assumption for the Warcry specific Stormcast is a mixture of chambers within the warband, which would be sick, but may not look right among their own chambers depending on the poses.
-
Off the top of my head:
1- More mixed gender Stormcast units in existing chambers. The cover of AOS 2.0 is a lady liberator, but you can only get one by buying Steelheart's Champions... There's so much lore precedent in the books, artwork, and Soulbound that I'd rather have this than a new chamber in AOS 3.0
2- Mixed race (& possibly gender) units for Cities. Give me a shieldwall of aelf, human, and duardin comrades standing side by side! Let aelves use guns! Move past the elf-dwarf grudging of WHF! Cities could be such an amazing, diverse range without needing to be over the top in design. GW should lean into this hard.
3- Realm specific Cities units, whether full boxed kits or upgrade kits, and especially for the main Cities given rules and/or boxes in the Battletome. The Realms are so unique when compared to one another, GW cannot tell us every Free City would use the same Holy Roman Empire look for its troops that the WHF Empire did.

In other words, Age of Sigmar's sales is not concentrated into one faction like Space Marines for 40k, which in my mind is a good thing. Overall I do think both factions didn't do bad in terms of sales considering they're bought up.
this for sure, when i checked the 40k "new releases" about 2 weeks ago 19 out of the 25 items were Space Marine or Imperium related--that's absurd for a game which supposedly spans the entire Milky Way galaxy. If GW wants to keep AOS as the game that pushes boundaries on design and style, I'm all here for it, but I hope they realize 40k needs it too. The SM favoritism is why I won't be going back to 40k outside of painting some Tau.

The sad moment is becouse I picked SCE because I finally wanted to have army that was loved by GW. ( I played csm in 40k so...) HOW WRONG I WAS...
on the one hand I'm glad AOS doesn't have the Marines/Imperium problem 40k has, on the other Stormcast really...really... have not been able to keep up with 2.0's power creep. While the aesthetic, lore, and models are why I settled on Stormcast, a little rules favoritism would be nice 😅

oke but to advice playing a whole other battalion with a lot of differant units in it is a bit wierd. Its like playing another army because none of the poster his units are on the skyborne slayers format. And i dont believe skyborne slayers would beat giants that easy. Dok can be done but is not easy.
yeah that's definitely a huge problem with Stormcast; too many units means you'll inevitably end up in one corner without much wiggle room unless you can shell out $$. and its something that requires waiting on a new book to even try fixing
but idk like... people share tournament stories and it turns into tactics discussion because this is the forum for exactly that. it's just unfortunate that the army we picked is the one that has the largest amount of substitutions and allies to take from.

So does the Soulbound news (https://www.cubicle7games.com/warhammer-production-update-2021/) mean I should wait on all the new stuff before buying the corebook? Or will these additions specifically be their own supplemental pdf/books? I can't find a product page for the "Starter Set" advertised in the article, but from the corebook's page it does include a Bestiary section--am I right in concluding that this update means a reprint is coming?

Yea, just take totally difren't army. Thank you for your input... 🙄🙄🙄🙄
skyborne slayers is another battalion Stormcast have, and taking allies (Gunhaulers) is also viable substitution. he was offering you other advice on replacements in your existing army, not saying to play Kharadron. you posted a basic Sacrosanct list that no longer works well because of power creep and changing meta--so you were given advice based on these things for tournament play.

Hell id like to see actual named stormcast heroes that arent Hammers of Sigmar. Astreia would have been soooo good in Anvils.
i'll forever be confused that Neave wasn't Astral Templars... if they're going to do Stormcast heroes this much they should certainly use more Stormhosts

big mood, and with Stormkeeps becoming A Thing in lore how can they miss an opportunity to give Stormcast the eternally superior spear?

how many warscrolls in an army?

If I could be slightly different-
I voted 11-15 but I think that number shouldn't include heroes, or at least not named characters (which I think deserve any amount of space to grow)
10-15 unit choices with an additional 4-6 heroes seems like a good army spot to me, it gives you the ability for different themed armies (elite or horde, cav or behemoths, etc) but not too much like Stormcast where one bad Battletome can put half your range out of commission until the next BT.
