I see that the Whitefangs and the Singapore Hound have been noticeably absent of late…
GW saw how badly it went for WotC when they hired the Pinkertons to bully a leaker into giving back the card packs, and they decided to play it safe and just hire some anonymous assassins from the Darkweb.

Yes there's a rumour... coming out of a random 4chan post... Which ends with "my father works at Nintendo". It says a lot about the level of the debate really.
The past few days made me feel so happy that AoS, for all it's flaws, is not saddled with with the "boys club" lore.
It is the most forced moral outrage campaign I've ever seen regarding popular culture.
Oh no, a slight retcon in a sea of various and massive changes to established canon? Won't somebody think of the children.
Why did every media "critic" on YouTube make a video on the subject even though they have never even referenced Warhammer before?
Why did the Daily Mail write an article about GW going Woke by making lady Custodes and use pictures of Stormcast in said article?
Why did every vocal Holocaust denier on twitter begin talking about how sacred the lore of Warhammer is even though they couldn't tell you the slightest thing about it?
It is a grift, nothing more and nothing less. Just ignore it, in a month they will be gone once their culture war Shepard have taken them to a different pasture to yell at rainbows

Coherency is now half an inch. It’s going to be so friggin annoying moving models with bits that overhand bases now, boingrot bounders and all of the Night haunt are going to be a nightmare.

They look great, wonderfully grim and positively dark. Now they've shown a remake for the stormcast and Skaven, and today a new unit for the lightning fellas, so next week we might see either official model reveal of the Ratling canon.
But I am left wondering what niche these Reclusians will fill, for at a glance I am not so sure what they will be able to do that the Praetors and Annihilators can't already do. The lore snippet makes them sound tanky and immune to most inhospitable effects, but can GW make them standout enough though?

We only need to wait. All will be clear.
The way you write these messages kinda reminds me of Q-Anon.

Packing slip contains two line items btw. Image is too low res to get the item names though.
GW might have corporate spies here. Let's not do too much of the dirty work for them.

Btw, I could swear the poll page had BoC as an option and they just deleted it?
GW, pay a proper salary to the poor intern, please
The BoC vanguard box is also in the picture in the bottom left corner...

I just had a thought, what if all these cullings are GW's way of preparing for AoS: Old Realms?
In 10 years a new game system will come out, a spinoff of AoS that allows players to use all their old miniatures that were a part of the first 10 years of AoS, and play them using round bases (in AoS 6.0 they switch to hexagon bases).

Sounds like the Detachments in 10th. EG you no longer pick Imperial Fists as your Space Marine sub-faction, now it's a 'defensive ranged tactics' set of rules instead. There's been some controversy around it, but I actually think it's a much better system.
So for example, the Magmadroth-heavy sub-faction would no longer specifically be Lofnir Lodge.
That is the smartest thing to do in my opinion too, the previous method of tying rules to a subfaction soft-railroaded people into painting their armies a certain way.
I've had conversations with a person who were worried that people wouldn't play with them if their flamer-heavy SM army wasn't painted like the salamanders.
Or another person who thought they couldn't play their Seraphon army like the coalesced if they did a starborne color scheme.
Usually, newer people have this worry, and the only people whom I've ever interacted with who were strongly in favor of the previous system are all hardcore spacemarine players anyway.

Good to have official confirmation that all of these parts of the game will stay, no need to act like 4.0 will be just like the latest edition of 40k.
And the manifestation lore sounds to me like the lore of endless spells and incarnates.

Warcry tomorrow announced for pre order right guys? Right guys...?

Warcry preorder announced, but they're skipping pyre and flood and going straight to the next box instead.

Guess GW don't want to put too much effort into the marketing of the new and revamped rules before Dawnbringers 6 launches.
Launching a rulebook supplement while you're showcasing a new rules set might cause a bit of whiplash from a consumer perspective.

Am i the only one that likes delfs in CoS? Give me more shadowblades and scourge privateers please!
I like them and hope they stay and get expanded upon, but GW's previous actions regarding CoS seem to imply that their inclusion is on borrowed time. I think that the only reason the Privateers weren't cut from the latest tome is that the Malarion Aelves are still quite far away from a release day, but as we come closer to it, the remaining Aelves will disappear from the CoS army.

Sounds difficult to balance. perhaps they changed the rules to something along the lines of each player only being allowed one Endless spell per game.

I have a problem with that one. It is the one I looked at the most but just simply because I don't get what's going on on the lower side.
It's a false mirror. The diorama invokes the sense of a water reflection, but the entire diorama has just been rebuilt upside down.

Definitely one of the greatest Slayer-Sword winning pieces I've ever seen, at least in my top 5. Amazing idea and fantastic execution.

Where is this helmet from ? It completely fixes the only part of the model I hate!
It's from the Chaos Lord on steed miniature

Fun Adepticon fact:
Some cursed knowledge has been bestowed upon me.
If any of you play Killteam at Adepticon this year, you will be doing so in the exact spot where the Dashcon ball pit stood

Okay, so about the fate of Khul and Vandus in the last Dawnbringers book.
SpoilerDuring the preview, the announcer said that we will also see an end to Khul's journey for the last skull he needs, namely Vandus', to ascend to Deamonhood. But he also said that their battle would end in an unexpected way, which leads me to believe that Vandus will kill Khul in the end.
But how have you come to this conclusion you might think, well here is my logic.
Khul has been on the path to Deamonhood for quite a while now. His tactical knowledge far outstrips that of even the most seasoned generals, he even had a Dawnbringers story about himself and the visions his chief shaman has, where he sees Khul with wings and a tail, typical Deamon stuff.
Vandus has also been losing his mind in the narrative, to the point where he has to be locked up in a basement when he isn't leading the hammers of Sigmar, also he has become obsessed with finding Khul and righting a wrong generations in the making.
Now, many of us thought that an Ascended Khul model would be coming with the last installment in the Dawnbringer narrative, but we are only getting Abraxia, kinda weird to be missing one of the more prominent chaos characters during a book all about chaos where they are also featured, right?
Now all of this information makes it seem like the deck is stacked against poor Vandus as if he is fated to fall and be little less than the sacrificial lamb for whom Khul can use for his triumph, but what if a certain someone were to interfere? "wink wink" nudge nudge"
So I guess that GW is pulling a fast one on us and making it look like Khul will win, but somehow Vandus triumphs in the end, Khul is killed and his model will be renamed to Mighty lord of Khorne for good and Vandus will get a shiny new Ruination chamber model.
Or maybe GW simply thinks that the audience by default thinks that the Stormcast will win, but Khul actually wins and gets a new model when BT: Blades of Khorne releases.

Do you think the model mondays will be reserved for the new starter set? Full reveal of the box will probably happen 1 month from now, so 4 weeks of lesser reveals from starter box seems like some good teasers to keep us interested.

Please, can someone tell me what the hell is this?
EDIT: We would solve the Ninja Turtle RE with this one, I think.
Those stylised lightning bolts look awfully familiar...

I liked melee weapons range, but it was just like armor facing values in earlier editions of 40k. Too clunky to be of any real value most of the time, so a streamlined approach seems like the right move.

A great many thanks to the Chinese and Japanese AoS fans who took the fall for Singapore Warhound, so that they may continue bringing us some nice and blurry pictures to hype ourselves over.

The Rumour Thread
in Age of Sigmar Discussions
Posted
On April 15th GW filled a trademark for the phrase "MossCairn". While there is no information regarding what it will be used for, I will guess that it is the name of the next Underworlds expansion since it follows the usual naming convention for that game.
