    Votann and World eater got released at the same time

    Tyrion and the lumineth are a already establish faction having Lumineth wave of models in the new edition during there tome cycle or a subfaction wave  is not out te realm of possibility as shown with Slaves to darkness. It not like the Tyrion side require a complete wave

    Like what exactly is in the pipeline

    Ogre refresh

    Beast of Chaos

    Cities of Sigmar part II

    Fyreslayer 

    Bonesplitterz?

    The rest of the faction that "need stuff" doesn't need a complete refresh just a couple models to buff out the battscrolls in the same vain as sylvaneth

    Like 3 edition we got Kruleboyz (basically an entire new army), Cities of sigmar, Slaves of Darkness & Darkoath, Seraphon, Flesh eater & Sylvaneth

    4th got enough space

    Reallistically, I only see Ogors and CoS 2 as big refreshes, fs idk, dok, tzeentch or obr, as armies that feel uncompleted just need an expansion like ironjawz and popular armies such lumineth or soublight could be nice with the Sylvaneth/nh treatment with 3-4 boxes. 

    Two new armies could fit.

    Reminds me of the whole WarCom oopsie with the Umbraneth wording that they promptly removed from the shadowstalkers article way back when.

    Have we ever had them use that wording since? Is this supposed to be the catch all for "dark elves" à la Morathi and Malerion's aelves united as a faction in the future, or just for her aelves per the articles original intent... or just not even canon and a total goof'em up by WarCom?

    I don't recall ever getting any clarity on that.

    I think that "umbraneth" stuff was a hoax, the only word that we have about the elves in Ulgu is Ulgurothis in the last DoK book.

    Mistweaver Saih has a lot stylistically in common with the Khainite Shadowstalkers so I think it's safer to say she's more a proto Daughter of Khaine than any of Malerion's followers.

    That said Malerion will almost certainly happen at some point, he's too big a plot point to not. But the Chorfs will come first

    In the hachette collection she is described as a Malerion aelf, at least in the spanish version.

    Idk how canon is that.

    Honestly, I haven't gone around counting every individual mention but I'm pretty sure that the Chaos Duardin have been teased a bunch more than Malerion's faction. From the top of my head:

    Chorf mentions:

    • Appear in 2E Vostarg White Dwarf article where its implied one of the old Runesons of the Vostarg fell to worship of Hashut.
    • Forge Anathema on Great Parch map.
    • Zharr-Vyxa on Prime Innerlands map.
    • Sons of Behemat 2E Battletome featuring Kraken-Eaters vs Chaos Siege Gargants at Zharr-Vyxa.
    • Anguzkul-Grend in the Wrath of the Everchosen book.
    • Horns of Hashut in Warcry.
    • Trade with Hobgrots in Orruk Warclans battletome.

    Malerion Aelves mentions:

    • Lumineth Battletome where a Zenith Aelementari gets captured by Shadow Daemons working for Malerion.
    • Malign Portents short story where its implied Malerion is scheming against Sigmar.
    • Broken Realms short story where Malerion and Tyrion are implied to be at odds.
    • A few mentions of Malerion creating his own Aelves in Daughters of Khaine and Lumineth battletomes.

    Hm… no.

    We have one mini (the shadow aelf from silver tower), a short story in broken realms with morathi, a mention as part of the aelven pantheon in a warcom article, mentioned in the hachette magazine Mortal Realms and in the Slaanesh book.

    Apart from that, Malerion is an integral part of the story of AoS since it’s conception.

    But I think this is not a competition about how many times time talk about who, actually chorfs have been confirmed by wf and Ulgorothis are missing from any hint, so I don’t expect them at all.

    - No more book battle tactics. Generic and GA ones
    - No more shooting into combat
    - changes to unleash hell
    - generic counter charge ability
    - new way of choosing Spells when list building
    - weapon ranges gone
    - If you take the double you cannot score BT that round
    - Index edition

    Supposedly, those leaks came before Adepticon, and most of them are being confirmed now by the Adepticon preview (index, weapon ranges), today's video (counter charges) and wf jr (spell lore, double turn changes)

    Wasnt some stuff from those og leaks quoted on the Adepticon interview?

    I really have Whitefang Jr on a bottle of salt until Whitefang backs them up

    I think even the original poster of those leaks came there and said they were just his wishlist

    Theres not that much left to leak about 4th anyway. Just the contents of the starter box, and more precision on the skaven wave.

    Im willing to wait for the april-may oficial reveals, tho.

    Model-wise no, but I'm just interested in rules

    Malekith had scars all over his body, he can now transform into a lizard with wings and he told his mother that he was going to teach the twins a lesson. If his mother conquered a city of Sigmar, why not him?

    Tbh I don’t expect Malerion coming to the game anytime at this point.

    No he went in broke one of the chains but got word a certain Bone general has hit his Varanspire and rush back

    Archaon is like me when I'm about to paint my minis but suddenly I hear the calling from my lgs and end with 5 more boxes.

    My main issue is the discrepancies that AoS has, everything needs to be designed within the same structure. And I hope that we don't lose any flavour in the process.

    That is actually the only thing about the new edition that worries me.

    Quoting this so new normal not-american people are able to read it.

    I'll cope at 60% for 1A) tbh. Not wholeheatedly because leakers still havent said anything about the concrete contents of the starter box, but Im gonna expect one more rat ogre at the very least.

    (And for my case I have as proof the leaked blurry Rat ogre! If It was a rat ogre...)

    We need several heroes for the box that are missing there. Heroes are the most profitable minis they make, so expect at least 2 or 3 more for each side.

    It's only obvious to no-lives like us who hang out on forums. A person walking into a shop and buying a vanguard box of beasts of chaos, wouldn't dream that in three months time that their £70 investment will be invalidated. 

    That's an absolutely despicable business practice. 

    Oh gw loves to do those tricks, the guy in my LGS is forced to receive stuff that everybody knows is going to be discontinued. A complete shame.

    AoS really, really needs to decide what model ranges it wants to move forwards with and stick to it. This kind of uncertainty around units and armies being removed isn't healthy for the game.

    I think we all know wich minis are going to leave (dispossesed, bones, dark elves, boc, old ogres, old skavens, fatcasts, metal/resin…)

    The problem is they can’t announce it because that would cost sales and people lives in denial about it and when happens they get frustrated.

    That's my biggest issue with it. Battle tactics are too detached from the actual battle. It's random errants that don't make any sense. Imagine you are fighting a tight battle suddenly your general orders you to do the floss dance INSIDE enemy territory because it grants points. - What? To me the game is no longer a battle but a "do random stuff to win" fest.

    I think the problem there is a narrative vs balance one. 

    If your tactics revolve around actually playing the game (ghb 1 tactics), killy armies are going to reign rampant in the tables. The scope of final ghb is more about playing outside the main mission, so if you want to kill me, you gotta go to akward positions or make moves that go against your main plan.

    This ghb is pretty more balanced that the first one (even with cracked stuff like primals and blizzard), so I think that the team went the balanced route.
