Yes! Look at the bottom left of this picture I found on Spikey Bits. (https://spikeybits.com/2017/11/17-rumor-engine-pics-can-you-identify-them.html)
8th of february 2017. Thats over a year since they have shown us this picture.
#6 Matches up with the Stormcast Lord Commander image in the Army book. Probably ties in with the opening of the new chamber in the storyline

Right, I see now. I didn't notice them before.
After further scrutiny, I believe those are not windows but doorways actually. We'll need to see the kit when it'll be available for preorder, but I have the feeling that the doorway can be either open or condemned with bricks. Maybe we can choose to glue a brickwall inside them. Take a look at the condemned doorways on the bottom pieces of this first picture and compare them with the open doorways on this second picture: the pillars are the same.
Good catch! I hope that's the case, as more LOS blocking terrain is welcome

I am not sure about the ruins. Honestly I find them a little boring. Most of the previous AOS terrain has had oodles of flavor. These seem a little bland. If I wanted this type of stuff I would just go with the Hobbit kit, has more vertical levels.
I agree very disappointing. They look like generic ruins.

Thank you for covering the costs so far! I found the stats to very interesting, thanks for sharing.
I think patreon would be good, maybe a badge for contributing so then everyone will want to be one of the "cool kids" who contribute?

Oh the models and rules are cool and such. I have no issues with the cult that way.
The parts that are souring me are that it is GA Order and that some people are treating it as a new and amazing thing. When it's pretty much the same as the Dark Elves of Old.
The Dark Elves of Old also need their factions merged together again. They are worthless in their current state. Same with the High Elves.
It's only the same if you played WHFB but for a lot of ppl who started with AoS it's new and exciting

Not really. Morathi never cared a lick about Khiane so I was wondering why she suddenly cared now. And the reveal is simply she does not.
Maybe for WHFB old timers, but for somebody who started with AOS it's a nice twist.

That's a really cool twist, how she doesn't want him to return.

GW definitely make no bones about this. Just incase anyone cares, here's the passage from way back in The Realmgate Wars: Quest for Ghal Maraz explicitly spelling out that duardin are dwarfs (or at least directly descended from them
):
Descended from yes... Like domesticated dogs are descended from wolves...but in this case it's the other way around

I wish they would stop this new era of bringing WHFB characters back.

I'm hoping for all new characters and not ones from WHFB.

Maybe we'll get a non-khorne castle at a reasonable price (re-release the mighty fortress please)

I hope it comes with a helmet option. I buy stormcast but not if they don't have a helmet option

One of the familiars fim Silvertower also holds a SE helmet in its hands.
Well GW isn't known for being very consistent...

What they have on them stays and what they drop goes back? I havent read the battletome, just the black library books but that doesnt sound right.
Sorry bad wording, I meant everything goes back with them that (armor weapons)

It seems like they can leave some equipment behind, say they drop a sword and fight on with just their hammer, the sword doesnt go with them. But whatever they have on them when they die goes back with them.
Thats what i've gathered from the books anyway.
I think that's the opposite of what is in the battletome, but I'm at work and don't have it to reference.

If they do got the Death Stormcast route, I'm also hoping they do something to make them uniquely death and not the CSM route which are basically Space Marines with horns. I can't remember, but in the lore when Stormcast dies, does their whole body, armor and all get taken back to heaven to be reforged, or just the soul? I guess if it's the whole thing, we're more like to get Stormcasts, but with more bones. We'll see. Maybe its all a big misdirection and we're getting new Nighthaunt models instead. It could happen. Right? Please?
The armor and weapons go back.

Why would having a name interfere with his abilities?
You can't take artifacts with them, so it makes them less useful as a general.

Also looks like the plume on the top of some of the stormcast helmets! More stormcast!

Cape for the Stormcast Lord Commander ? We already got their chest plate a while back.

I don't know how there can be so much knickers-in-a-twist drama when I bet no one has their paint backlog cleared.
5 models left

They can dress it up a lot more in the finacial reports, and hide the lack of new models behind other stats. AKA with the pile of new 40K codex's hitting shelves I dont think they will be making any less profit, which is the bottom line. By just talking about it without explaining the whole plan to keep parting us with our money, the stock takes a hit.
In the short term, but I know locally many AOS players are leaving and finding other games. They should do something. Silence is not the answer

By telling the retail staff they basicly have! any more open they risk the stock price.
In the short term maybe, long term they risk more damage to their brand by not being open and transparent. Regardless when the financial reports come out (since they are public) the truth will come out.

I think it cannot be understated about the size of production problems facing GW. I have had a number of sources tell me that retail teams have been brifed on it and to expect a slow down in the release schedule for new plastics. Major work has to be completed in the factory. As such we basically can expect one thing, More products being made in China. So Books and Scenery Kits. Which is basically what we have been getting the last 6 months. And the fact retail teams have been brifed makes me think we could have another 6 months of wait before the work is finished!
Still what we get now is a avalanche of products compared to 2000..
Stuff happens! They should just be open and say so if that's the case. Get out ahead of rumors

I don't have the book with me, but on the page they talk about the Lord Commander at the top of the page is that exact image.
