What about Admech from HH?
Could fit their aesthetic, number of fingers is correct too. Of course this has less details than the RE which looks more like a bigger model but maybe?

I think the reclusions are brilliant brilliant models and they've sparked my interest in this wave of SCE after all but the thing that sticks out for me is they're all facing the same way with very subtle variations and I would have liked to have seen more variety in the poses. That's to take nothing away from the models, and I presume there's a multi-part kit coming as well, but it just sticks out for me.

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

You know, I'm a little torn on the attendants. The idea behind them is great, and they're nice models in and of themselves.
I'm just not sure I like the image of a handful of ordinary humans in an otherwise all SCE army. I like how Stormcast armies look as a force of mighty warriors. I like how mixed armies of Stormcast and ordinary mortals look, too.
The idea of a full SCE army with just two or three ordinary humans tagging along, though? I can't help but think they'll look a bit out of place.
Maybe the Ruination Chamber will have more attendants in the rest of the range, who knows. In any case, the Reclusians are wonderful!
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

As others have pointed out it's very odd that Gunnar and chums isn't appearing here at the same time unless their announcement timings were entirely coincidental 🤔
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's possible we're getting all the starter box reveals thru Monday reveals instead of a big preview (would be stupid to make a whole section with only 5 articles or inserting a big article there when there's already an index on the tab, but who knows with the "go to the bin goats" enterprise)
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

Valrak was talking about Fimirs on his stream recently, but he said for Kill Team? He himself seemed unfamiliar with Fimirs - I personally can’t see them return, but then 10 years ago if you told Me Nagash would get a big plastic kit and the Primarchs would be returning to 40k I’d have poured all the Salt out of my cupboard to have that conversation.
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

Normally those heroes come with a battleforce rather than combat patrols, but it could be a possibility, yes.
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

FOMO-ing an arbitrarily removed range leaves a sour taste.
Do I see Vanguard Hunters on that shelf? They weren't on the list?
Maybe they are just going webstore only but who knows

That would be the regular GW modus operandi... if it weren't he case that the Vanguard box is sold out online. And not "temporarily sold out". Just "sold out".
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

After doing a bit of renewal bingo for the removed SCE I think this is the list that would get something new either with Thunderstrike or as part of the Ruination Chamber:
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.

Add that the unit they could have standard bearer now and it is a must buy for everyone that don't want to kitbash
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.

Monday prices as always! UW maintains the price of the previous boxes.
Interesting that the Warbringer and Warmaster are also on here as they weren't in the Sunday article.

Weird contents speculation time! 🔔🌩️
Let the wild speculation commence!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.

Anyone care to speculate on new/reforged Stormcast units?
Looks like we'll have updated Liberators and Prosecutors, in addition to the new "Ruinators". Then there's the Ruinator on bird-gryph.
I'm wondering if they will update Judicators as well. Ruinators feel like they fit the Paladin-class, so doubt we'll see updated Retributors.
With Prosecutors getting redone, I can't help but wonder if we'll see a new Celestant-Prime? Could even have it be a new character and/or a one-his-last-reforging version. "How the mighty have fallen."
In terms of pure speculation, I would love to see more artillery, chariots, altars - anything "artificial" that breaks up the monotony of armored dudes & dudettes. Would love an easy-to-build Knight-Draconis or even a Lord-Draconis on a majestic new dragon. Not that we really need another big dragon model, but I think we're automatically past talking about *need* when we're discussing Stormcast...
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.-

Just in case it's not obvious for everyone. We have currently 24 battletomed factions. You can neither do a 5x5, nor 5x4 grid to show them all and/or not have gaps. Just won't work layout wise.
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:
Spoiler
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?

The Rumour Thread
in Age of Sigmar Discussions
Posted · Edited by Matrindur
Catching up on the thread and this reminded me of a Valrak rumour a while back that GW would enter the MDF terrain market.
When I heard that rumour it sounded very strange since why would GW enter the MDF market where there are already quite a few manufacturers and give up their sprue terrain for that? But pre-painted MDF terrain would actually kinda make sense.
From what I can see via a quick google search while there are prepainted MDF manufacturers it doesn't seem like there are a lot of them and it should also be way easier than prepainted plastic terrain while still not looking too cheap. Which is important as GW would for sure not sell it cheap.
I still don't think that rumour is true and the idea about it being prepainted is just from me and not from the rumour but would still be an interesting path
