The 'S' in AoS actually stands for Seraphon

Well, it took less than 24hours for GW to prove me wrong. Correlation?!?!? *Tinfoil hat is on* Damn it looks nice, gorgeously ornate and sci-fi macuahuitl is ace

I doubt we are going to get anything notable shown for AoS until adepticon next month, and I would almost bet on that they will reveal the next 2 battletome that are scheduled to come out before the Seraphon, and the accompanying models (pls no more foot hero). Warhammer fest will be the place they reveal the rest of the Seraphon range and the roadmap for the rest of the year. Until then, we must take solace in those rumor engines we are given.

Thinking back on the reveal stream of the new seraphon, the show runner said that we had seen less than half of the range, and that means that we will get at least 8 kits in total. I will make the bold statement and say that we have 3 of the remaining units confirmed to be in as well. Kroxigor 'confirmed' by the rumor engine, and saurus guard and knights. The saurus warriors would make the older saurus kits look very dated in comparison, so their upgrade is needed to be in line. Now we have 3 unsolved rumor engines that i am certain are seraphon releated Nr. 1: Spear. Downright a seraphon weapon. Looks too ornate for a simple warrior, but could be used by knights. Nr. 2: engine. Shares seraphon design cues and glyphs, but what could it be? Nr. 3: Geometric spear. Now this one i am unsure of myself, but it looks to me like the geometric shapes spear is attached to a shaft, which makes me believe that this one isn't for 40k. Studying the StD release, a number of the generic failcast heroes got replaced, so i would wager that the scar vet on cold one get's a new model too, and it's weapon would be nr. 3. This leaves the "final" unit to be nr. 2, and i hope that it is some new large dino beast that carries the engine with it.

Anybody else think that the Seraphon army box will consist of a Slaan, 10 saurus and 10 raptodon hunters/chargers? Would mirror the StD army box closely and cover the initial reveals.

Waaagh?

I will make a guess and say that the next starter box will be Darkoath vs Cities of Sigmar. Chaos is going to be the next bad guy faction for the starter box, and Darkoath is in a weird spot now, decent amount of lore and hero models but nothing else to show. A good time to finally update marauders and expand on them. Cities were announced before WE, and we know next to nothing about them, a teaser once in a blue moon is all. This slow pace would align with a major release, since the Seraphon took the release spot many thought would be for CoS. A more human perspective has been requested for long, and a major box would fly off the shelves.

Wild guess. They will be modeled after snapping turtles. Fits the theme of aquatic and terrestrial creature that are known for their bites and sudden bursts of Speed.

Also worth noting, the GW social media team are leaving comments under the people that are guessing Kroxigors, but not the ones that are guessing for Sunblood. Perhaps it is a red hearing all of it?

I wonder what the new Kroxigors will look like. Forgeworld made an "updated" model for bloodbowl that looks like an updated version of the older kit, and a named kroxigor, Glotl Stop that looks a bit more like a crocodile. I hope they make them more crocodile like, to help differentiate them from saurus, since the original design is basically a bigger saurus.

No offense taken, we are all victims of corporate marketing techniques from time to time

Also, i guess i am waiting for the Seraphon to get their release this summer. Their lore and style has always endeared me, but the outdated nature of the sculptures has always held me from collecting them. If they update the Saurus knights and give us a sauropod like dinosaur i will collect little else but them. I even had plans on starting a Gloomspite force, but the motivation has been completely redirected.

Bit odd they still haven't released the combat patrols for either the Guard or World munchers. Suppose they are just too good of a deal.

What a show, all games are celebrating their new releases, maybe not as much the underworlds players, except 40k fans. They're up in arms against the new SM missile unit. Truly this show was one of the best ones they've ever done

Well, the show is one hour and there are six different games being showcased. Seraphon is guaranteed now, warcry will be the full reveal for bloodhunt. Underworlds Is the next warband. KT is the arbites vs drykhari. HH is an unknown quantity, maybe some new plastic vehicles and a character. 40k, i want to say Farsight and Snik get officially revelead, but GW used space marine iconography for their teaser.

I am quite happy that the Gitz maintain some of their random elements, the faction works well as a rather comedic and chaotic force. A little flavor is worth more than hard crunch If you ask me

Looks like it has less than seven eyes

I wonder how the reception from the old guard fanbase affects GW's decisions regarding TOW. The response to this new article seems to be overwhelmingly negative, and the new fanbase aren't exactly the type to invest in a TTG. The way GW is going about it seems to just make nobody happy.

Dear, GW corporate spy who is assigned to monitor warhammer forums, i've just come back from watching the new avatar movie, it was pretty decent. It has a big whale in it that is cool. You know what else has whales and sea creatures? Idoneth does. As recent box office numbers show, the world desires more whale content and RIGHT NOW would be an impeccable moment to deliver that goodness, for once strike while the iron is glowing hot. Please give...

The Lion of the dark angels is coming back to the setting, so is the soul of Sanguinius of the blood angels. And they will have the largest spacemarine release ever following them.

13 battleforces for 40k now, not even 1 is a xenos box. And if the rumors are to be believed about the future of 40k, then it starting to look more and more like Horus Heresy 2.0 more than anything.

My hope is that most of those beautiful resin minatures will be reborn in plastic at a later date, but the reality of the situation is that Forgeworld is now the Horus heresy subdivision of GW, with some special characters springled in for other game systems. Marines have such an extreme market pull they can essentially replace everything that isn't one in the blink of an eye. And concerning the return of WHFB, i don't believe it. Atleast not in it's totality. Not even 40k is able to get the same level of support as GW have aluded too for the Old World with all races being in and getting updated. I predict that only something like 4 races will be in and get genuine support and the rest will be put in an index, that won't be updated after the initial launch or be given models at all. Lizard might be shown at LVO at the end of the month, but who knows with GW release schedules?

The model has big magistus Amon vibes and his toothpaste cloak Forgeworld doesn't really do flowing textures well

Oh no, i just realized that GW can fill a box with nothing but Tzaangors and sell it as both AoS and 40k
