Matrindur

Very likely just for the monopose launch set. These are prime targets for a multipart kit

I kinda want the attendants to be an upgrade. If you don't take them the Reclusians can arrive via lightning but they have some kind of disadvantage like "can only charge the closest enemy" as they lose themself in their reforgings. If you take them you can't deepstrike but don't have the other disadvantages and maybe get a few more wounds through them for the unit. If the "Scions of the Storm" or "Stormkeep" choice is still in you could also include them in that. If your Reclusians are SotS they get deepstrike but no attendants. If they are Stormkeep they get extra wounds and a buff

Is it that odd? After all this is just the army set and as most army sets, its coming first with the individual releases at a later time. Gunnar will likely release together with the individual releases of the army set units and probably DB6.

It could happen but 40k also got a few single reveals first and then showed off the rest together at a preview event. Specifically they showed the Terminators, the Phobos Lieutenant, the Terminator Librarian, the Termagants, the Von Ryan's Leapers and the Winged Tyranid Prime in weekly monday articles with the rest together at Warhammer Fest. The solo articles also got slots in the list of articles like the Liberators and Clanrats. The only difference is that they where in the same list as all the other articles while ours are split between "About the new edition" and "Model reveals" but that could just be for better readability

No idea about his streams but at least in his videos he never said anything about Fimir in Kill Team (Wouldn't make sense anyway) But as far as I remember he did say something about Fimir back when they where removed from FW or even earlier but I can't remember what it was.

This is for sure not from the boxset as it doesn't look like it is push fit. So likely just a single character from the followup releases

Correct the two new heroes are coming in battleforces, but every faction also gets a new Combat Patrol with their book. And since they aren't getting an army set but a battleforce instead everything should drop at the same time. So a Battleforce, Codex and CP each. Which doesn't necessarily mean both Orks and Custodes are getting released at the same time. They where revealed together but they could be released with a few weeks between them

Not sure if this was posted here already? But confirmation that shields or double hammers are just cosmetic without special rules

Do I see Vanguard Hunters on that shelf? They weren't on the list? Maybe they are just going webstore only but who knows

Sure but its also not GWs modus operandi to react fast to such changes. Many Vanguard sets have characters in them that aren't availably outside of it so if you discontinue any of them now the character wouldn't be available temporarily. And with how long it took to get the Adeptus Titanicus titans back after being "temporarily" removed from sale for the Legions Imperialis reboxing I wouldn't be surprised if it took 1-2 months for the Grey seer to come back as a solo release even in the case that he doesn't get replaced by a new model in the launch set

I don't think we'll see new Judicators as the Vigilors are already new Thunderstrike bow Stormcast. But otherwise this looks like a good guess.

Interesting, so like the included standard bearer on the vindictors?

We got a Skaven video (if you open it up on YT you get a teaser with some Warp lightning) up in 19min: For sure something for April 1st but that doesn't mean it won't also be a reveal, thats how Leagues of Votann got announced

Interresting that the new generals handbook will also be in the launch set.

double post

Interesting that the Warbringer and Warmaster are also on here as they weren't in the Sunday article.

In terms of sprues for all 3 launch sets we got the large sprues had two characters and a elite unit for both sides except for the Tyranids where is was two big monsters instead. So the same can be expected again. Stormcast would be Ruination lord on crow, 3 ruination paladins and another hero. Skaven would be mounted Clawlord and maybe 3x rat ogres and a packmaster? The other common ground was that there are 4 small sprues with 2 heroes each per side. (Again except Tyranids as they only had one) These would also be the starter set heroes as the large sprues aren't included in those so at least one should represent an overall leader. (Lord Imperitant, Killaboss, SM Captain, Necron Overlord, Tyranid Prime) For Stormcast maybe we are getting a new Lord Celestant? For Skaven it could be a Grey Seer or just something new entirely. The second character could be anything but is likely either another big leader but in another role (Swampcaller Shaman, Terminator Librarian) or a lower rank assistant to the overall leader (SM Lieutenant, Necron Royal Warden, Knight Arcanum) The rest of the small sprues are likely to be the same as Dominion in that they are 10x Liberators and 20x Clanrats. For the medium sprues one would be the Skaven Ratling gun, one would be the 5x Prosecutors and another would likely be the Jezzails.

We don't really need Judicators since their bow build was soft replaced by Vigilors and their crossbow version is kinda represented by Vanguard Raptors. The only point against them going away I can see is that we have a Knight-Judicator (Which already surprised me back when he was revealed) Out of the AoS 1.0 wave, not looking at characters, we have Liberators which are getting replaced, Judicators which we don't need anymore with Vigilors, the three Paladin flavors which could be getting replaced by the Ruinators and the Prosecutors which are getting replaced. The Dracothian Guard and Stardrakes are the only ones without a replacement. Stormdrake Guard are kinda the spiritual successor to the Dracothian Guard, not the same since different Wargear and flying instead of foot drakes but still. And while they aren't the same at all, Krondys and Karazai at least fulfill the role of big dragon centerpiece model that the Stardrake had before. So while I would of course like actual replacements or at least keeping them I could also see GW discontinuing them.

And I think when 40k got their equivalent CP picture they where also missing some factions so it fit better This was the 40k one: And its also missing three factions with Custodes, Black Templars and World Eaters in addition to Tyranids. And nothing happened to those three.

Everyone (except the three already revealed ones) still has the same sets here so maybe the others won't be replaced?

No models at all is a surprise WarCom articles: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2024/03/21/warhammer-age-of-sigmar-is-reforged-for-an-incredible-new-edition/ https://www.warhammer-community.com/2024/03/21/nine-amazing-moments-from-the-incredible-warhammer-age-of-sigmar-cinematic-trailer/

This perfectly sums up my feelings

Well that was an amazing trailer
