    The guy at the front middle doesn't look like one of the hammer guys? The haft looks much longer than previously seen pictures and it might just be the picture but he doesn't appear to have a cow motiff on his head

    its just the picture angle, if you look closely you can see the horns. still just goes to show how long some of these hafts are.

    Here's some "fun" speculation - predict the dual kits! Or just wish-list.

     

    I'm really hoping that Dawnriders have an archer variant.

    Also hoping that the Stoneguard have a Swordmaster variant with big plumes and whopping great sun-swords.

     

    Not so outlandish when you consider who many dual-kits the brand new AOS factions contain, and the only one confirmed for the Lumineth so far is the battle cattle.

     

    Considering that stone guard have 2 weapon options already shown, making them dual kit as well seems odd as the sheer number of parts on the sprue would be massive.

    I really hate GW, if a video game company hyped up a game as much and delivered so little there would be uproar. They are basically the Peter molyneux of the tabletop world and need to learn better marketing in my opinion. I love the mountain aspect but if it's all we are getting they should have deep dived the mountain lore more instead of going on about everything else and Tyrion for months. 

    Is this not the whole purpose of E3 and most of EA's marketing tactics. watchdogs springs to mind. 😄

     

    also with everything happening regarding covid-19 here in the UK I fully understand GW's actions on this as slowing down previeiws is one of the only things they can do or they would run out of news.

    Remember all of this was supposed to be the Adepticon preview and that the army may have already been out now if not for Corona.

    For GW it was a choice between dragging on this preview for a while or drop all the info and go dark for months.

    I agree, I'm not as bitter about this as my comment may have made it sound as I do adore the range so far.

    Tassels don't look like they are blowing in the wind enough to fit the Lumineth.

    I agree, but if the rumor engine has taught me anything it's that the image shown will not necessary be at the real angle. Still it's a link that seems just a touch to alike with the other lumineth imo.

    You may be right, but we don't have a clear picture of a whole weapon.  So I looked at the two parts of each weapon from the two models, which give us a look at a front half and a back half both of which consist of spikes.  Unless one of them is holding it the wrong way round, this implies to me a pick-axe shape.

    It takes some zooming but if you look next to the leg of the cow and just behind the horn of his fellow you can see a hammerhead. esque shape with the spike sticking out the back. just my 2p.

     

    I suspect he is holding it revered to puncture armour, hence why it has the spike.

    It looks to me as though the Stoneguard in the picture are wielding  pick-axes (probably another grudge on the way).  The one on the left has a spike on the back and the one on the right has a spike on the front.

    I suspect it is supposed to emulate a Bec-de-corbin hammer from the middle-ages

    It may also include Xintil or Haixiah, but 4 is not unprecedented (Seraphon most recently only have 4 IIRC). 8+ subfactions would be.

    I'm not holding out hope for Tyrion this release, but I wouldn't be surprised by one more elementari temple.

    I suspect there will be 5 subfactions, the 4 outer teclian nations plus the centre nation but other than that I would agree with what you say here.

    If this is all that comes out, I am fine with it as a range. Anything else is going to be a bonus for me. But all this teasing from GW is killing me. On the one hand, they seem to be saving something up for a last big reveal. On the other hand we've seen the battletome artwork, the photos inside the battletome. the concept art, the studio shots etc. and no hint of any additional models in there. I alternate between "that's it, man, get over it" and "ZENITH EAGLE RIDERS TYRION YAAAAAS" every 10 minutes. 

    I am sort of the same, whilst I love everything they have showed so far and will happly settle for it, I do keep thinking to myself, "Just one more, you can show just one more unit. Please."
