If you just go by € value its actually pretty close. Average for AoS over the 4 boxes is 269,37€ and for 40k its 279,92€ over their 6 boxes

Battleforce discount calculations: (Prices assumed for a ~35% discount as that is about the average we got last year) Seraphon: 1x Slann Starmaster - £52.50 - 67,5€ - $85 1x Saurus Warriors - £37.50 - 50€ - $60 1x Kroxigors - £37.50 - 50€ - $60 1x Aggradon Lancers - £37.50 - 50€ - $60 1x Hunters of Huanchi - £37.50 - 50€ - $60 Total: £202.50 - 267,5€ - $325 -> Assumed prices: £130 - 170€ - $210 Ossiarch Bonereapers: 1x Arch-Kavalos Zandtos - £35 - 45€ - $60 1x Mortek Guard - £37.50 - 50€ - $60 1x Gothizzar Harvester - £35 - 45€ - $60 1x Kavalos Deathriders - £37.50 - 50€ - $60 2x Morghast Archai - £85 - 110€ - $140 Total: £230 - 300€ - $380 -> Assumed prices: £150 - 195€ - $250 Slaves to Darkness: 1x Eternus, Blade of The First Prince - £37.5 - 50€ - $60 1x Ogroid Theridons - £40 - 55€ - $65 1x Chaos Knights - £40 - 55€ - $65 1x Chaos Chosen - £37.50 - 50€ - $60 1x Chaos Warriors - £37.50 - 50€ - $60 Total: £192,5 - 260€ - $310 -> Assumed prices: £125 - 170€ - $200 Soulblight Gravelords: 1x Vengorian Lord - £42,5 - 55€ - $70 1x Blood Knights - £42,5 - 55€ - $70 1x Deathrattle Skeletons - £37,5 - 50€ - $60 1x Dire Wolves - £35 - 45€ - $60 1x Fell Bats - £35 - 45€ - $60 Total: £192,5 - 250€ - $320 -> Assumed prices: £125 - 165€ - $210 Again the prices are only assumed so the discount is close to 35% as that is the average we got last year. But that is just an average and there were boxes with higher and lower discounts so the actual prices this year will be different. This is just an estimate

Looking quite nice will do a discount calculation quickly

The two missing heroes are both the ones who where available in the army set. For 40k it has happened before that the army set contents turned out to be the Combat Patrol and since the heroes in most Vanguard sets aren't available on their own but only in those sets I would say its likely thats the case here. Maybe slightly changed contents but I'm at least pretty sure the Alchemite Warforger and Freeguild Marshal are part of the Vanguard and thats the reason they aren't available on their own

Apparently giant entities living in the void between the realms, beings older than even the dark gods according to Lexicanum. But those are obviously not going to appear in model form and there aren't any rumours about other void things as far as I know. Its just lele who keeps talking about them

With this preorder there is nothing unreleased left for AoS so I'm very much anticipating the November preview show. I have a doc where I note down every release sorted by faction and the faction with the longest timespan since they got something new is currently Sons of Behemat with King Brodd on 08.10.22 That means every single faction got at least one release during the last year which is quite nice. (Next would be Lumineth with the Scinari Enlightener on 20.11.22, everything else was during 2023)

It all makes sense now, Stormcast are just the 40k of AoS. First they have been Space Marines now they are Necrons next they will build giant golden robots and become Tau

The day after the fourth story was the preorder for book 1 the day after the eight was book 2 and next weeks Saturday would be the day after the 12th story so if it keeps the pattern up we should be getting a preorder announcement on Sunday

Kroak was rumoured a while ago exactly because they focused on big named characters last year. They are still doing big centerpiece kits this year for nearly all the 40k boxes (Norn Emissary, Rogal Dorn, Angron, Hekaton Land Fortress, Kill Rig) but not just single use named characters. Also since the Belakor themed box doesn't seem to include Belakor himself but Eternatus instead its not guaranteed to be a big model just likely.

While that is true a squad can be sold multiple times to the same person while a foot hero will only be sold once most of the time

Correct for most boxes he didn't say specific numbers, thats why I assumed/tried to guess the numbers based on the likely price and discount but I also assumed all boxes will be the same price. If they do different prices which they did do in the past it could again be different quantities than I wrote in that screenshotted post. So don't take those numbers for granted, just see them as a approximation

Thats what they did last year. AoS Battleforces went up for preorder on the 26th November together with Warcry stuff and two foot heroes. 40k Battleforces went up a week later together with a 40k character and a cursed city expansion

The interesting part is that he said there would be a Bretonia Vs Tomb Kings starter while Valrak who is also pretty reliable said each faction would get their own starter boxes. Will be interesting to see which turns out true

Rumours have been saying Epic took over The Old Worlds november slot with that moved back to early next year and as that was confirmed in the stream I would expect epic in the next weeks. Personally I think Cities will be next maybe together with the Dawnbringers 3 stuff and Epic in the week after that

"The official Warhammer: The Old World website will also be going live on Monday, so keep an eye out there for more information on the lore and landscapes of the Old World as we get closer to release."

Confirmed we get another preview in mid November

Those two kits are nice but seeing all the old ones does put a damper on the hype

Correct, this one

Better than just two foot heroes

Fyreslayers, Idoneth, Khorne, Stormcast, Sylvaneth, Ogors and Cities in that video

So its called The Long Hunt

some details

Again part of a boxset

Also he is part of a boxset for Dawnbringers 3
