I’m really surprised the flagelants stayed. With the preview article about the religious cults (cult of the wheel) I was sure we would get a new kit. Maybe it will just be a centerpiece model. i feel the current flagelants are a nice kits, but they are to buff. I saw someone convert the new zombies into flagelants, they looked amazing with their skinny arms and legs and shambling poses.

I would like to see some of the new equivalent of flagelants. I always really liked the crazy religious aspect of the empire. I think they were mentioned in one of the previews, something like ‘cult of the wheel’.

Maybe the new saurus are a dual kit with tempel guard? Would make sense.

Something like this?

The MTO archaon is very tempting indeed. Might also get the Slaanesh hero. These are models from the days I played warhammer the most. But These days I have a lot more funds😛

It took me way too long to realize this was not a preview for new cities of sigmar…

Over on war of sigmar, Hastings ( one of the most well known rumour sources) stated in the comments that old bretonnia, tomb king and orc kits have been taken back in production and are probably getting new paintjobs for ‘the old world’ rulebook…

Is there any reason to believe Ogors will get more then just a new hero, the bloodiest hunter? Was there mention of more new models?

There is also the old lady vampire with the wolves that could be in the next expansion.

Loving this discussion about the lore, good points are made in both sides. I really really loved the world of WFB, but I do whine it would be fair to point out that the lore didn’t progress much, if at all. There was a lot of backstory but there weren’t many events that really changed anything and the main characters almost never died.

🤦‍♂️

the new 40k daemon prince seems to have a similar pose to the new AoS one, they might be compatible kits. Really like the Slaanesh head. the new character unit is pretty sweet, can see myself grabbing those for conversions.

Was there an email about the 40k rotation, before it was announced on warhammer community? It seems weird they would announce the 40k rotations on the site, but not for AoS.

A lot has already been pointed out. But for me a very important improvement was starting to work with a wet palette. It makes blending easier and simply not having my paint dry every other minute was a big improvement. black lining was something that was pointed out to me and it makes models look so much more crisp and clean.

There’s an axe and helmetless option visible in the earlier leaked pics.

During second edition death got a lot of focus at the start (malign portents) and the end of the edition (soulblight). Underworlds moved to Ulgu during the ‘death’ edition. I don’t think there’s any reason for concern about destruction not getting enough attention this edition (yet).

I don't care for rules and such, because I'm only into the hobby/painting side of the hobby. I don't have a lot of time or space for all of my stuff, so I don't start a new project lightly. I don't want to start a new army unless I have a good and fun idea for an army. I need a good background story that drives me to create new units and do a lot of conversions. for a new project, a hedonites army, I also know I want to paint a really colorful and vibrant army. Using a colorscheme I have never done before also makes me motivated to start on this new force. Currently I'm also considering creating an army as a commission, so I can do a nice project but it doesn't end up just sitting on a shelf. With all the new eldar stuff coming up I might even start doing a 40k army for the first time ever.

Spot on, this must be it. Let’s move on.

Eldar are getting exactly what I would have wanted for my beloved classic high elves, a rework of the old kits but staying very close to the original look and feel. I think a lot of people would love this for their favorite army. Having the core troops as a new kit is also a big deal. To me, the core troops are the most important part of an army and they need to look good.

I thought some of the lore snippets suggested something ‘terrible and majestic’. I’d say malerion’s troops will incorporate a lot of monsters/daemons/creatures. also, there was another elf in the silver tower set that everyone seems to forget about…

I was thinking dark eldar first, but the bottom part on the handle of the whip looks very similar to a DoK whip, so she might be AoS after all.

I saw it on Insta and there were like 200 responses asking why GW was releasing yet another primaris instead of anything else. It seems a lot of people are fed up with the constant stream of space marines.

Cool thread:) There are some projects I'd love to do If I had all the time and money in the world. and also more space on my shelves... I'm just in it the hobby and painting part of the hobby, so I don't really care if a project would be useable on the table. I'd love to do a giant war altar using the skaven screaming bell as a base, with lots of crazed devotees pulling it. It could be based in the realm of light, a giant war alter spreading light on the battlefield. It could tie in with the lore about the human city in Hysh (settlers gain?) where it seems the lumineth might be brainwashing the more difficult humans. It could even be a entire army of human scholars and devotees, controlled by elves. A lumineth model could be present in most units to represent this control. Another idea I have is to create a nurgle force, combining 40k and Aos models. I've also toyed around with the idea to create a Nurgly take on the fungal 'clickers' from the Last of us video game. But the first new project will be another Slaanesh force. This time it'll be a really vibrant and colorfull army.

I can’t see silent people as an actual army. To me they aren’t more than some background for underworlds. And underworlds moved on to another realm too.

Do we know what the boxes will cost?
