It's an interesting idea, but what would a faction being cross alliance even mean at this point? Just ally choices? It's not like GAs even have mechanics attached right now.
Yeah, what even are Grand Alliances now anyway?
Apart from categories on the webstore and an indication of which Mega Gargant you can have in your army?

Btw, I have the feeling today we will see a Dawnbringers short that will be a bit spoiling.
What spoiling are you expecting? Sounds intriguing.

the scale is definitely something they struggle with, I think it'd be ok if they didn't always try to do these grand narratives that include every faction. For example over a quarter they could release a few army books and a campaign book that included all of those factions. Instead of having a crazy amount of books over the last 6 months of an edition, spread them out a bit more so the narrative feels more continuous?
Is this related to "Is AoS a setting or a story"?
During an edition it's a setting so not a lot can change. Then in the run up to a new edition they can/need to have loads of narrative to set up the updated setting for the new edition.
Maybe? Who knows? I'm just waffling.

I may be alone in this and I'm hoping they'll grow on me, but I'm not a fan of these new ruination Stormcast.
To me they don't really look like Stormcast.

+++ Mod Hat On +++
If you want to discuss the Coherency rules and how other games do it, can we please have another topic about it?
Thanks
Yes. There is already a 4oS rules topic if people don't fancy starting a specific Coherency one: https://www.tga.community/forums/topic/38680-thoughts-on-40s-new-rules/?page=3#comment-659359

What about daemons like pink horrors or the coloured gods? GW wants to move away from that too? We are talking about marines etc but isnt this the same problem?
I think it would be great to not have daemons locked into a scheme. I know it isnt a rule, but ive never seen anyone move away from the GW scheme.
Pink Horrors and Blue Horrors I think are pretty different sizes and on different sized bases, I think that's how they are told apart rather than necessarily the colour. Despite the name.

However, I dislike whenever GW puts a "if you want to use X rules for Your Dudes, you gotta paint them 'right'" rule in place
Based on responses to a comment I made the other day, I think this was only ever a thing briefly in AoS once and the colour scheme specific rules sillyness is much more a 40k thing.

So we call "ruinators" for the new model monday today !
What it'd love is a reveal of a new Stormcast war machine/artillery model now the Ballista is leaving the range.
But that's just me wishing

Something I always thought was a bit odd about the Chaos Dwarfs is that they're not very chaotic. They were all about industry and organisation. I wonder if that will change...
Lawful Evil for sure.

Ironically enough, the first TT force that had very racially varied units is the Imperium in 40k, despite being the most xenophobic bunch out there with Ogryns, Ratlings and the like (they justified it with these being meta-humans, apparently that's good enough, despite burning you at the stake if you got a 6th digit for fear of it being a Chaos mutation....lulz).
And also squats and beastmen in the early days.

I painted 3 steelhelms for Misthavn, but came to the conlusion that I didn't really like painting the dark blue/greyish colours and that the playstyle wasn't my thing. I jumped to Lethis and than I jumped to Hammerhal Aqsha. But those three painted Misthavn Steelhelms just jumped with me. Even if the colours weren't really correct, I just thought the more steelhelms I paint in the colours of the free city I played, the more they would blend in.
Well don't you know about Sigmar's cross cities Steelhelm exchange program? To foster cooperation across the realms.

I think it's more of a 40k thing, where some (but far from all) tournaments wouldn't allow you to say... run Iron Hands if your army was painted as Ultramarines,
I mean, that seems pretty harsh to me. A generalisation for sure, but AoS folk seem way more chilled than 40K-ers.

How long after 40k 10th releasing did the indexes become available?

I never realised that any rules in AoS where tied to what colour you painted your models.

I just cant comprehend this sudden decision that Ogors may be on the chopping block?
Now we have certainty about Beasts and Splitters we TGAers need a faction to fret about rumoured squatting.
10 minutes ago, KingBrodd said:*Sons of Behemat can be taken by any Alliance.
We don't know what allies rules will be in 4oS yet. Now Megas aren't new and GW not pushing for everyone to buy them they might not be available to everyone anymore.

Is there any lore on if Stormcast have to be killed to be upgraded to Thunderstrike armour? Or can they just take their old armour off and put on new?

The old metal is smaller, but you as a player can choose which treeman you use. The AoS one, or the old metal one. Both base sizes are supported in the TOW rules and both units have basically the same name.
I've a feeling some might turn up as Hunters in my Sylvaneth. Price dependent.

Ha! Do you remember when we were talking about the video and I said something long was a sword? Here they are. Weird swords to me. Just thinking about them as tiny spears would feel... a bit ridiculous.
They definitely hacking, stabbing, jabbing, cutting things!

Just to comment on the Treeman thing, The Old World books use the old sculpts in Wood Elf displays:
They do look very different.
And I can't fully tell but size wise they look a fair bit smaller. Maybe more similar to Kurnoth Hunters than the he newer Treelord/men?

A quick search shows a lot of different flags like this including "United Farm Workers" of America.
Just saying. The worst conclusion isn't always the best to jump to first. 😉
Hopefully we can successfully apply Hanlon's Razor here.

Agreed in that they're a tad too ordinary, I hope to see something more exceptional in the rest of the range. For these as the most basic foot troops it is alright, but I really want to see something that makes Skaven feel like the Realm-Destroying rats they are in lore. I'm sure they'll do something like that, Skaven technology has to have advanced with all the possibilities opened up in the Mortal Realms and all the time they've spent hiding before the Vermindoom.
The Warlock Bombardier is still my favourite Skaven Sculpt by far and a great way to start the AoSification of Skaven, you can see how much fun he's having shooting rockets at his victims. I'm hoping some other new sculpts match his energy.
Didn't the WarCom short story hint at some kind of warpstone powered mech or power-armour? 😍

Quite interesting flag, I don't know if the 'eavy painters painted it the way it is intentionally, but a geometric shape inside a white circle in a red flag ? Cmon they must have known what they were referencing.
Really hope it's an unintentional coincidence.

We know from leaked sprues that Skaven are getting at least 2 new ranged shooty units. It'd be weird if a horde army got the new shooty stuff if it really is being limited and scaled back overall.
