    Yes I know someone will rain my parade and mention how that style of glove belongs to some Dark Eldar or ties to a rumour of this or that army... but let me have this 😤

    Praise the rumour engine ! Finally something interesting for us to talk. And Ithink the same, that has a strong shadow elf vibe!!

    I don't suppose if anybody has heard if there will be a seperate release for the Krondspire Incarnate of Ghur? 

    I'm in two minds about picking it up off ebay, but I wasn't sure if it will be released on it's own down the line?

     

    Yeah! GW siad that they will box the Incarnate individually later, but we don't know when. And looking at other similar boxed products, it can be a lot of time to be separated sadly :(

    Oh no, the one in the center is one of the new units for STD! Too early for them! Show us more sylvaneth and skaven content!!

  4. Yes, what we can expect for AoS right now is:

    • May: DoK and NH battletomes (mid to end of month)
    • June: Summer BattleBox for the expected Sylvaneth vs Skaven
    • July: New GHB 2022
    • August: Nothing
    • September: Sylvaneth and Skaven battletomes

    So we have the period of October, November where we might have another two battletomes, as the finals of November and all the December is focused in Christmas deals.

    Yeah, let's go out with a bang! The upbeat language just makes this funnier.

    Also, lowkey calling it as an April 1st joke since they could just reveal it and make us feel smart for catching it.

     

    "We've only got one more Rumour Engine left this month, so let's make it a good one"

    So no rumour engine next tuesday?? As it will still be this month.

    Yeah, with people coming back into it now it’s doing quite well despite misgivings(just look at how Dominion did despite people trying to doom and gloom over it before GW confirmed it sold amazingly and all the misery posts faded away).

    Like the main sub-reddit alone keeps growing  by 200 people a day to where it’s now over 145,000 when it was 80,000 before 3rd edition launched and hasn’t slowed down so will have doubled in size very soon(I still remember the sub celebrations when it got to 40,000 subs back in 2019 :) )
     

    like that Kruleboyz example from earlier, a few months in and they already hit 1000 subs when the Ironjawz sub had been at 500 subs for years and now Kruleboyz are over 2000 with their own discords(which I contribute to some slow movement here and other forums, there’s just too many places now to hobby hang out. Like my brother-in-law got into AoS through Instagram and I had to show him things like the Facebook places exist)

    Reddit & Twitter are also just is a funner place to present lore ideas and big conversions like here’s a random Lumineth and Kragnos example that you’d never see here because people like fast-paced traffic:

     

    AoS3 is really booming when you look around. :) 

    Oh sure it is, it’s a bit slower paced now because they want to actually explore the big ramifications of the Broken Realms saga(alliances tested, cities taken, new gods risen, Chamon’s center realmgates busted, Death in upheaval with Nagash recovering, Cursed Skies empowering daemons, Ghyran growing cosmic roots and causing a life flood settlers are taking advantage of, big etc)

    A lot happened so they’re slowly going through the changes like before:

    2015-2016: Realmgate Wars & God-Beast campaign for huge changes.

    2017: Age of Hope & Age of Intrigue to explore the changes of new civilizations rising with the Shadows over Hammerhal & Firestorm campaign showing the new events in Aqshy.

    2018: Malign Portents & Time of Tribulations for huge changes that shake-up the Realms.

    2019: relatively calm period of updates to access all the factions during this time followed by a small shake-up from Forbidden Powers.

    2020: calm period with Lumineth and Sons having key connections between all the events that occurred. 

    2021: Broken Realms and Era of the Beast shake up the setting again.

    2022: calm period with factions collecting themselves in this Era as new events in Aqshy unfold that Broken Realms set-up.

    But progress is happening, both the White Dwarfs* and battletomes note the advancing plot and the changes it’s making.
     

    Edit:*(I noted a summary of changes the Ossiarchs are experiencing from their magazine update in the lore thread here:

    “> -the Lumineth strategy worked; the Ossiarch Empire is rife with insurrection, many monuments are still rubble, and with much strength committed to the Arx Terminus they can't quickly deal with this
    > -the Triptych still hasn't been fully rebuilt
    > -it's suspected Archaon intends to strike at Gothizzar, though nobody knows how that'd be possible
    > -with Nagash gone the OBR legions no longer enjoy his favor as they once did and other undead want to capitalize on that, but OBR are also more autonomous for the time being
    > -Arkhan's secret HQ is rumored to be located in Anadiria, where the Null Myriad hold sway
    > the power vacuum has seen adversaries like Sigvald's Decadent Host and the Tarkan warglutt run wild
    > -Katakros is still paining from being struck down by Archaon, but he's also having strange episodes of visions and whispers that even being picked apart and transferring bodies can't seem to fix, and his thoughts will stray to his mortal home in Ghur
    > -Kragnos had a run-in with the Ivory Host's claim in Bjarl that did a number on them
    > -to replenish and up their game they're experimenting more with realmstone and monster bones with very few but gradually mounting breakthroughs” )

    That’s why both the new Deepkin & Fyreslayer tomes can ally with anyone from the Cities of Sigmar now because of the Dawncrusades having the Order mortals work closer together and the upcoming Arena of Shades plays on how Anvilgard became Har Kuron where Morathi-Khaine is solidifying her rule there with bigger and bolder gladiator events that made the Khainites popular in the free cities while Nagash wants those souls she paid the Deepkin alliance in back that helped her conquer the city.

    For me this has been the best post so far in this threat as I love the lore. I would hope anyone who has more knowloedge about the current lore and wherebaouts could do a new threat!!

    Another small rules rumour.

    Bob on war of sigmar (who has books early and posts opinions / reviews as soon as they go on pre-order) is stating the Idoneth book is strong and should be good in the current meta.

    This chimes with everything I've heard so far from my own sources.

    So while it might be sad we aren't seeing much in terms of new models, not even getting endless spells etc, it sounds like the new book will be very welcomed by the Idoneth community.

    Although it's a relief to know we won't be stuck with a terrible book for 3.0, I'm personally hoping we can see some more build variety especially in the casual scene.

     

     

    In the same blogpost from bob I have read that he says the Chaos summer battletome will be Khorne. First time reading his blog, so it was the first time he said that or there are more placed where I can find further information? Becase I was also leaning more to Skaven vs Sylvaneth.

    I still think that the Ulgu stuff will be the b plot of the edition and then tie into the a plot with the release of Malerion down the line. In general AOS seems to have slightly divided narrative focus with four grand alliances and numerous more armies and subfactions running around. In essence I feel like the Destruction, Stormcast and Duardin narrative will focus heavily on Ghur whereas the Aelven, Slaanesh storyline will continue in Ulgu. 

     

    Do we know the lore in the new Nurgle battletome? When there are no narrative events and only battletomes, it is the way to expand the lore. So anyone knows what happens in that battletome? I know that know Nurgle is more contained in Ghyran and Sylvanteh is expanding, but would be great to know from someone who has read it.

  9. FAQs are near the corner. GW has updated the App with the Nurgle Battletome (which was the last step before the FAQs), the WD rules for Sons, Seraphon and CoS, and some nice improvements in the lists export. So... positives vibes they are coming really soon!

  10. I think that some people are too salty. I still have lots to paint and even more models that I would buy and paint. It is not like the old fantasy days, now we have lots of new factions/minis to paint and the rules are really fine (with issues, ofc, but fine overall). I know this is the rumour section, but I don't feel this bitternes and backlash legit.

    And don't compare us with the 40K people, AoS is still a kid compared with 40K. We had an incredible growth but we are still far from being like them in size.

    Hmmm, I dunno but I felt a couple of things were pretty off about it. From the whole „he‘s a man, he has to die“ (yeah, I know that’s part of it but what a start 😂) intro to the grading (I feel like fantasy does benefit from some more striking color correction, else it looks too mundane/colorful) to the way the spell-casting looks… To the way it‘s written… I haven‘t read the books but I felt embarrassed watching it, dunno, just has a weird vibe to it. No epic feeling like LOTR certainly. I watched a couple of episodes but I feel like this could‘ve been done way better. Seems like they‘re just trying to tick off some boxes instead of trying to make the fantastical work well. Some things they did well enough but other scenes were really insufferable to me. Hoping the other (2 of my friends are huge WoT nuts and they also didn’t like it) WoT fans are happy with it at least

    I have read WoT twice and for me the serie isn't disappointing at all. The WoT isn't the same as LOTR or other similar worlds, when you read the books it's more of a crossadventure from several people and their different points of view. The magic and battles doesn't really appear until the 8th book.

     

    And returning to the main toppic I should say that KO for ever, even if this year I have played a bit more with Sylvanteh, SCE and SBGL.

    I agree. 

    ---------

    What do you think we'll see tonight? 

    Nurgle or dragons? 

    Neither of these. They said that dragons and nurgle are coming on December. So tonight they will announce the batleforce boxes launch (or at least there are my hopes).

    I think the Generals Handbook for 2022 will be set in Ulgu, with Harrowdeep being set in that realm it is normally a precursor for where the narrative of age of Sigmar is heading next.  They did it with Beastgrave and Direchasm and now we are fighting in the realm of Ghur.

    Most likely we will be fighting in Ghur for some years, for the whole 3.0. There is no point on moving so quickly from Ghur as it would be detrimental for the game in the long run. They need to develop teh history here in Ghur and then make another "Broken Realms" to move to a new edition in Ulgu, where we will get new faction focus.

     

    So we will have this season of Underworlds that will last for 1.5 years and then another for the same time span, and then we will move from this realm to Ulgu and Underworlds will move too to the next realm.

    Data updated with the latest events and fixing the issue of one 2nd ed. event in the table.

    Should I use this thread to keep showing the data or is better to start a new one every month?

    I think it would be better to have a thread for every month to keep everything organized and the actual trends not mixing with past trends (I feel we will have a changing meta in these upcoming months).

    Bonereapers could get pretty interesting with just a few new tools. That archer unit, a big monster, a hero that makes Stalkers and Immortis better... Arkhan could get a real Bonereaper body. Maybe throw in chariots for that retro Tomb Kings feeling. In theory, the army could change a lot even with a relatively small amount of new kits. However, I am not sure if GW does small releases anymore. It seems more like the two options are a single new hero and maybe some kind of side game (Underworlds, Warcry) unit or a full 10+ new kits all at once.

    Hopefully we will have a new model for Arkhan and a new wave of units for OBR, but not now. I think they need to develop the actual plot in Ghur, so a new OBR will come with the return of Nagash and his minions, and like Sigmar, unleashing a new ‘chamber’/better constructs. So I would see this in 2023.
