A Lord Commander actually having a model is like, really big lorewise. They lead the ENTIRE Stormhost, so the Hammers having one of them really ups their stock.

Any reason in particular? Did Yndastra kick your granny in the shin or something?

Rumoured Blightkin?? First I’ve heard of them. Mind elaborating?

Oh for Teclis’ sake, this is driving me around the bend! Please, just give me the Swamp Wyvern and Pegasus cavalry so I can stop crying myself to sleep every night over the lack of knowledge! Also, a new chaos Battletome? Could my theory that Slaves to Darkness are next be true after all?

Yeah the WarCom article straight up says that the preview had “Tantalising hints of what’s to come later in the year” I mean, saying that and not actually having that is tantalising I guess...

Man, I like Adam but sometimes the way he talks is like he’s trying to reach the minimum word count on an essay lol

I reckon there’s gonna be a lil slide show of upcoming models, like the 40k preview last year had

Oooooh those are good looking covers. And they look thick too, so hopefully they haven’t been scuppered like the codexes

GORDRAKK??? NEVER HEARD OF HIM I PLEDGE MY ALLEGIANCE TO SWAMPBOSS SKUMDREK

So the new Kruleboyz character is on a Sludgeraker then? Oh, and is there a flying monster coming or no?

CROC CREW WE HAVE WON

I can’t bonk you on the head without getting closer.

I’m not gonna lie, the middle Annihilator looks like Dwayne the Rock Johnson with hair

I find it interesting that now there’s both a Lord and Knight Relictor. Does this mean there’s a Knight and Lord for each Stormcast type?

SO THERE’S AN ACTUAL LORD COMMANDER MINI NOW???? I MEAN, I KNEW THERE WAS GONNA BE A MINI OF ONE EVENTUALLY BUT ACTUALLY SEEING ONE-

Wooooooo preview tiiiiiiime Alright, hopefully the Croc Crew will triumph Also hopefully the flying thing gets shown off

Yeah there’s a lot of (somewhat deserved) anger towards them as a unit. It’s best to just try and scroll past threads like that when possible imo, you’re a rock trying to attack a mountain

Giant enemy scorpion! Preferably for the Daughters of Khaine/Malerions Aelves, make them be semi-ethereal things that lurk in the mists of Ulgu and jump out to take down unsuspecting passerbys. Have them be bedecked in jewels and have runes praising khaine/Malerion carved into their carapace. Boom, insta classic.

I reckon we have a slither of an eighth of a millionth of a chance of being the first post-Dominion BT 😛 But in all seriousness, I reckon there’ll be something similar to what they did with the 40k one, where they show off little glimpses of new models. Whether we’ll be one of them is yet to be seen.

*low chanting* Alli-gator, Alli-gator, Alli-gator...

I mean, they’re kinda already here, cause Celennar is essentially Teclis’ Stand

Honestly dude I kinda want us to get nerfed. At least that way every other rules thread won’t just devolve into “sentinels bad, Lumineth baaaaaaad 😭” which in turn lead to reactionary responses from Loomie players who feel attacked. It’d just make things a whole lot easier lol

Yeah as much as I’d like this to be true it seems to be just them going “this range has a lot of old models so it MUST be up for a new book” and “this faction has an old book so it must be getting a new one soon”. It’s plausible but I wouldn’t take it as gospel truth or fact by any means.

Guys a thought just struck me. So the poster factions for each GA for 3.0 seem to be Stormcast, Orruks, Soulblight, and Slaves to Darkness. The Stormies and Orruks are gonna get Battletomes very soon with the rest of their waves and Soulblight just got one. So therefore, it’d be reasonable to assume that maybe STD are gonna be the first faction to get a Battletome. It could be like how Beasts in 2.0 only got scenery - Slaves get some scenery as well as updated warscrolls and rules for Be’lakor and the like. Then maybe the factions that actually desperately need a release (IDK, Nurgle, Nighthaunt) will come with possibly a new faction in between.

A cool lore snippet related to KO from Soulbound I found on the Soulbound discord. Dunno which book it’s from (probably Steam and Steel), but here: “Most disturbing of all is the fate of Barak-Durmmaz, a sky-port entirely overwhelmed by the Nighthaunt advance. Death has not abated their hunger for aether-gold, and now sky-fleets must contest with undead Duardin in the race for airborne resources” Even the sky-capitalists aren’t immune to becoming spookums it seems.
