  1. Unironically, this mess with the battletomes and SCE/KRB releases made me get into Marvel Crisis Protocol... Kinda tilted now about the whole thing - end of 2.0 felt like a true turnaround for AOS and its back to feeling messy
  2. Warcry is the archetype of the new KT release. Which sounds great - though I'm hoping we don't have another Compendium crisis and GW just keeps the old compendiums running. At worst, simply print the WHC rules in a book? As much as I like the idea of Ghur, Beastgrave and now 3rd have covered Ghur now. I'm hoping we get a KT style 'realm a week' system - a nice boxset, some new models and a new campaign setting every couple of months. Can use it as a chance to do what we did with the Eightpoints and flesh out some of the more 'unspoken for' realms - Shadows, Life, Metal etc.
  3. Confirmation on WHC of Octarius offering a 'Made to Order' if it sells out in preorder and hinting it'll be a feature in the future - hinting at the BT launch box. I mean, Dominion overprinted and it really screwed scalpers - lots of FB group whining about not being able to sell box halves for £90+ and rather having to 'only' have £50 for half the models in a box most of us are buying for £90 anyway. Glad GW is finally dealing with the massive scalper problem in the hobby.
  4. In terms of the Getting Started booklet, They also feature some Skaven... but weirdly the Warlock Bombardier and an 1990s Skyre Acolyte... for some reason? With the rumours of Skaven being updated - as well as the BoC rumours - seems weird that these are the factions with the least representation or the very much 'weirdest' representation.
  5. Stormcast quickly became the high fantasy knights that AOS needed in the last few months. Between dragon riders, an angel kicking around and those chariots, SCE just quickly became one of the best armies aesthetically in the game. GW kicked it out the park
  6. Warcry is definitely coming back. I'll bet good money that - following, even by GW's statements in their financials, the massive success of Cursed City and the clear hype for Skirmish considering the new Kill Team finally having some dedicated terrain and killteams - Warcry will become a big player in it's relaunch. Season 1 was clearly big enough for Kill Team to get an entire rework - rules and models - that looks VERY similar. I'd imagine the Shadowstalkers were initally planned as part of this Season 2 - being the only warband not mentioned in the first core book - that got early import to get out Catacombs. If I'm a betting man - based around Death Korp appearing and the clear indication from GW that Kill Team will work to bring in some represenation for the 'forgotten' or 'niche' factions (Squats? Tau Auxilleries?) - I'd call that might import to Warcry. Kurnothi, the Cities 'factions' like the Shyish Crow Worshippers, weird Destruction monsters. I'm VERY excited for Warcry S2.
  7. We know we're in Three Emperors territory at around 2100 thanks to Leon Orcslayer. That's 400 years prior to Franzyboi and WFB's setting. I wouldn't expect any of your old favourite characters popping their heads. Relying how much 'play' then have, we might see baby Teclis and Tyrion in ~2150 - but chances are we're at a point in WFB lore where apart from the gods being worshipped who became much more 'active' in AOS, it'll be much more 'independant' than we're expecting. At best, expect a lot of nods to Sigmar or Grungi
  8. Less replaced - more 'updated with model that is definitely not star drake'. Similar to Vindictors 'definitely not' being updated Liberators or Annihiltors 'definitely not' updated Paladins DW, ya Star Drake is safe
  9. I'm assuming we've got two SC and one KRB left - between the expected Star Drake replacement and 'Dragon riders' for SC and likely the Gnashtoof calvary?
  10. Apparently This Week in Warhammer was posted earlier and taken down AOS starters, magazine and scenary next week
  11. I'd likely call maybe Q1 or Q3 '23? If it is next year, potentially a Christmas release? Relies if GW sees Warcry as getting the premium 'offseason' date or not
  12. Don't know if anyones seen but the new Kill Team reworked datasheets look suprisingly similar to Warcry, Right down to inflated wounds, X/Y damage weapons, battlefield roles GW seems to think the Warcry ruleset is definitely worth it with this overhaul I do wonder though if this means the 'second edition' Warcry rules might be pushed back? If the rulesets have been imported - and with the way the new kits look, the elements of choice within a 'Killteam' look eerily similar to the equipment choices of Warcry warbands - then one can assume it's the same team. Excited to see if my suspicions are true and Killteam does get bespoke 'Killteam' boxes - because if so, I would most certainly call the Warcry 2.0 a likely future release and the 'Warband' box model quite certain to return
  13. Be very surprised to see TOW and AOS cross over kits. The few factions that remain with Fantasy kits are the ones being set up for shakeups between Duardin Soup or Dawnbringer Crusades. The confirmed map means no Lizards - and I'd be surprised if they add BoC or Skaven in also. Not to murder hopes here - but TOW is already fairly confirmed a different beast to Fantasy...
  14. Will probably pick up a Warrior Edition for some extra Gutripperz. Not as intrigued by the new terrain as I originally thought? Hoping the larger selection saves it but that Extremis Edition seems to be awkwardly lacking?
