    I just hope the Lumineth will be fully revealed on the first event, and be available for preorder from the following day. 

    We have been drip-fed for along time, and dragging this further on doesn’t make much sense. 

    If GW doesn’t release them soon likely they won’t be able to ship anything out anymore. Might be too late already. 

    They could focus on something else for AoS on the second event. 

    I would say that they're ready to go with the Lumineth,  though with the global pandemic I could see later releases postponed so perhaps other things they were going to unveil will be kept hidden as to keep the masses banging on the door.

    Aos

    First reveal: Lumineth, 40k 8.5 Edition 

    second reveal: Umbraleth (Malerion’s Aelves)

     

    Malerions Aelves I would wager has at most a mention of something later on, with the Sons all but confirmed I doubt they would announce 2 brand new armies, maybe at Warhammer Fest.

    Tyrion and the full lumineth models. Then first SoB video teaser... and maybe lumineth vs other in a new box (I will say ironjaws or savage orruks).

    On the 40k side... next PA and the new Necron lord.

    Savage Orruks would be perfect for a battle box.

  4. I really hope that next weekend is a mix of AOS and 40K, if not I'd rather it be AOS opening, another weeks wait would be a pain considering it would be almost 2 weeks after the original date. I know with the global situation going on I shouldn't be complaining, it's just a great time to be a gamer.

    Here you go:

    "Well, they didn't show those miniatures some internet guy said they will release,  even when there was no hints about them. Oh, and there is nothing new for that faction that they released last week, clearly they forgot about it and it soon will be squated. And they didn't release that faction from my homebrew lore. That was such a letdown! Warhammer is ruined!"

    This is TOO real.

  6. I'm just hoping for something from the Sons of Behemat. I'd love a full reveal but I could see why GW wouldnt as they'd prefer to focus on Lumineth so noone holds out on buying them.

    Personally I'd love 3 kits for the Gargants, a Scenery Piece (Which doesnt seem too unlikely as realistically we may only get 2 new kits in total so it would help) and the Battletome. 2 kits could be Armoured, Ranged, Shaman, Standard Gargant variants and the 3rd could be a Leader kit with the ability to build King Brodd.

    True.  I suppose it's only fair we let him speak for himself, I'll edit a disclaimer into my original post.  Regardless, it is weird seeing Duncan already doing tutorials for non-GW minis though, at least to my brain 😨.

    I really enjoy it. I think I just love his tutorials regardless, though my brain always takes a second when he mentions a different branded paint.

    I will tell you all that I am aware of (I'm not sure if anything has changed since then), but feel free to make up your own mind:

    Very shortly before he announced he was leaving, it was stated by others that Duncan was quitting shortly due to negative issues with GW the company.  Duncan then went on twitter to confirm the rumor that he was leaving, and specifically did not say anything positive regarding GW or deny any of the hostility.  He only had positive things to say about loving what he did and the community.

    In addition, consider that he is straight back to painting minis on youtube representing himself - it's safe enough to say that he did not lose interest in the job...  Considering he's doing the exact same thing that he already was doing, if GW had treated him and the company well enough.....

    I guess until he or GW confirms why we'll never know. It could've been down to him wanting to start his own Channel and GW not liking the idea so I could see that. Either way I look forward to Two Thin Coats.

    Duncan left Games Workshop due to GW being a poor workplace... after Ossiarch launched.  My guess is that Duncan was originally going to be the one responsible for painting Ossiarch, but got delayed during the transition of him leaving.

    Has he officially stated why he left? Or is this all hearsay and high school rumours?

    Yeah, I also think it would be weird for GW to make the updated Skaven CAD files necessary for the Underworld Warband and Skaven bombardier then decide not to use them to update anything else in that range. Though who knows? I don't think we've seen any skaveny rumor engines lately.

    True but doesnt Chinese New Year extend into February? We've almost 11 months for something to come out and were definitely receiving the Sons and Lumineth in that time. I wouldn't be expecting a 3rd army this year so the only thing left to do is Update models really or add to Warbands.

    Since safe bets are boring I'm gonna go out on a limb and predict a new battletome for one or more of Stormcast/Nighthaunt/Nurgle/Daughters though most likely Stormcast or Nighthaunt.

    My 2nd risky bet will be a new unit kit or two for skaven, probably acolytes.

    Skaven desperately need updated sculpts. It's the year of the Rat so one or two wouldnt be unlikely.

    If the Size of the new Gargants is matching, and there is a ranged version, you could easily convert a falconer with the giant eagles from LotR SbG

    I'm hoping itll be inbetween the Bonegrinder and Ghorgon in size.

    Maybe! To be honest, I'd really hope the Gargants aren't super specialised - ideally they'll (all) be able to at least participate in each of the active phases of the turn, i.e. all having some sort of command ability, spell, or prayer, as well as a ranged attack and a melee attack. Having some be more focused on range or melee would obviously be fine.

    Wishlist: I want to see an action hero Gargant firing a Great Cannon in each hand. I want a hunter/falconer-type with a siege bow and a massive bird of prey (a Roc?) that they set on people. I want a brawler that's wielding a carriage in one hand and a team of screaming horses in the other. I want a giant priest, hunched over, carrying an entire uprooted church and steeple on his back and swinging a huge censer.

    Man, there are so many cool things that could be done with Gargants. I expect to be a little disappointed in whatever actually gets released, because the limits of practicality are always a downer compared to imagination.

    I too want a Siege Gargant with a bow. A surge Ballistae torn from a war machine that he just uses as a standard bow like it were nothing.

    But ****** that Steeple Gargant sounds bloody amazing and perfect for AOS. Credit where credit is due mate that's an incredible idea.

    I'd love to see a living scenery piece. A massive pack mule that isnt a mule but a Mammoth. Festooned on it's back are barrels of ale, weapons, armour, ammo. In gameplay it could make attacks and have high wounds but low saves but it gives a buff to Gargants near it.

    Aren't Sons of Behemats from chaos? destruction? what else? (not trolling, I dunno)

    The Alliance itself hasnt been confirmed but theres a good bet that itll be Destruction and rightly so. Nothing says Destruction like Gargants and Destruction is the most empty Alliance.

    A lot of speculation is Giants, as there is an older warscroll for Giants which is Behemats.

    I am swinging more towards Chaos Dwarfs. They are a legal army for AOS but all models are very old or forgeworld. Maybe they have made them in plastic and releasing an updated book and new options to purchase.

    Looking fowards to seeing new stuff either way

    Its 100% Gargants. The Old World announcement teased something Giant Coming to the Mortal Realms. And theres been a few Rumour Engines that definitely look Giant in scale. Not to mention the Sons are already established as literally being Gargants and children of the World Titan Behemat.

    But you don't have to have greenskins in 2 of them, ogres and trolls.

    A huge strength of AoS is the variety of army builds you can make, I love seeing fully themed and wacky armies on the table.

    Of course you can choose to not field them but Gnoblars are still with Ogors.

     

    I love themed and wacky armies as well but I think we should also have individual armies.

    I'm all for them being a faction, the models would be amazing.

    I still think we'll see some sort of goblins with the Sons. Thinking about it, the idea of goblins flying ships to talk/worship/feed the giants really appeals to me 😂

    Personally I hope we dont get any Gits with the Sons. That would mean every Faction in Destruction would have Greenskinz.

    Yeah, this is a really interesting question, and I think it's going to be key to the success of the Behemat line. Organic creatures have to be more varied and dynamic than war engines in order to be "satisfying" - people will notice pose similarities much more acutely than with robots. I'm looking forward to seeing how GW addresses this, because they've proven their ability to be very innovative in model design but this is a big challenge.

    This will be interesting to see.

    Thats the imperial knight model, and it was very very successful.  Started out as just a 1 kit army. That same kit was the foundation for 2 other kit variants for 7 different units..then they added a smaller model (which we already have with the current gargant!) And eventually added 2 more new kits (with a common sprue). 

    The tricky thing is that those are robots.. it's fairly easy to pose them in a lot of different ways.   For an organic crearure, how do you enable different poses without a lot of wasted bits?  GW has already moved almost completely away from posability with most of their range, which has caused me to turn to a "only 1 of each kit" rule (which means my armies are not very good!) Because especially for gargants, I will not pay for or field a force where 2 Giants have the same pose. 

    This is why I'm wondering if they will drop the Sons with 2 brand new kits and the Aleguzzlar will work the same as the Armiger in the Imperial Knights.

    But more Online Previews scheduled ! At least that.

    Between March and May we'll at least 4 of them which is a bit of a consolation for the cancellations.....

    I feel for GW at the moment, not financially but more of the PR and Marketing building the hype for these events and showcases. That being said I commend GW for how they're handling the situation.

    I'm with you, honestly. In general, I find the process of finding someone who wants the other half of the box, and then negotiating over how much each half is worth, to be entirely too much work. I don't like box-exclusive models, so I don't buy those boxes and just wait for the model to be released separately, or buy it second-hand.

    Who knows, maybe the Sons of Behemat will all be built from one or two multi-part kits with a bunch of different build options included - if so, that's awesome. I'm just not holding my breath. ;)

    Haha that's what I'm banking on with the Sons!! 2 kits with a variety of options and then perhaps a separate Leader kit, again with options.
