My idea: Warhammer quest game where a crazy vampire lord kidnaps mortal heroes and warriors amd forces them to fight his undead minions. One of the heroes is the witch hunter who got caught on purpose as it let's him get to the vampire

I'm probably wrong but it's fun to speculate

So no Warcry reveals, but I guess that the "mistery box" is going to be the Warhammer Quest game?

I think You all are missing the obvious thing here:

The hidden logo is 'critters and keys'

[The Rumour Thread]

Just to further cement  what everyone's saying, I want to point out the font of the word 'dead' is made of blood and the 'divine' font is kinda blocky, fitting for imperium

*Happy serphon fan noises*

Honestly, they're perfect, even I wasn't hoping for this many skinks (which are glorious)

If we are getting new zombies, I highly suspect it will be these bird house guys:

Hmmm I used to think the pirate idea is more possible, but looking at this (which surely is part of that faction) I shift more to the nordic/draugr idea. Ravens, which appear both here and one of the critters and keys are also another argument for that. And honestly, once again, I would throw so much money at GW. I am currently living through my viking hype phase, so it would be a bullseye shot right through my wallet

[The Rumour Thread]

At first I only looked at the article without watching the video, and was like 'awesome palanquin but hoped for more', but damn that video has me so HYPED

Literally all of the models shown for AoS have me interested. I loved the basic lumineth and bought their box, but didn't really like the mountain dudes. But wow, the wind temple looks exactly like what I wanted from them. The vampire hunter is so good (from what we've seen, of course) and even better if he's a part of a bigger, grimdarker faction of humans. The dead thing is absolutely, awesomely terrifying, not sure if he'll be part of FEC or a new faction (which I'd prefer).

Sorry if I sounded like an overly excited teenager who's about to be even more broke, but that's precisely what I am

[The Rumour Thread]

I remember that before it was even announced, as a teaser GW posted on fb a picture of a square base with text saying: 'everything comes around. Even squares'. I used to think it means rank and file with square bases, though thinking about it now it seems like the opposite. Unfortunately I can't find that post and my memory is cloudy, so take it with a grain of salt.

Personally I'd obviously prefer  round bases allowing to use OW models in AoS and vice versa. Also, I hope so much they'll make new Tomb Kings. Would be an insta buy from me

[The Rumour Thread]

That is, most likely, a hand which holds a stick. But not sure, don't quote me on that.

Well in the end i'm keen for both Slaanesh and Vampires, i'll be somewhat disappointed if the vamp stuff is just for a side game. Got nothing against them but it's disheartening to see something you hoped for be relegated to underworlds.

*Cries in seraphon*

Also, a wild guess - what if the main AoS release was full Slaneesh release, but then, at the very end of the preview they showed off the model that was teased on the johann image, or just anything from the supposed death range. Like, even without any commentary, just show off another sillhouette with some scary music and a big 'rising from the grave this spring' text at the end. Idk, just think it's a possibility

Undead? Skaven? 

Being a banner, I'm more inclined to say its for AoS rather than warcry or Underworlds. 

I don't know if anyone mentioned it as I didn't read everything, but this banner kinda looks like it's made out of skin. Like  there is even a vein looking thing on the left. That would also explain why there is no iconography/image on it AND fit deadwalkers/vampires very nicely

So, got my hands on direchasm, the rulebook has a few pages of lore, the seraphon warband is predominantly a skink one with a saurus in it. And the orb is literal bomb that will cause the mountain to eat itself, again, references to the silent people who sleep in the amber, the necroquake messed with their sleeping cycle and they are now have awakened early due to it. They're insectoid in terms of appearance.

Awesome. Considering I won't probably buy the core set and you say you have it, could you please answer those questions for me:

1. How many members would you say the serphon warband has and what other skinks (i.e. what weapons they have etc.) are there?

2. What other warbands are there? I mean, the cards always shown as other warbands, at least partially

I woulds also like to see Seraphon drive the plot fowards. They have so much potential but are an effective 0 when it comes to moving the plot.

On the topic of classic rivalries and skaven, them and seraphon in a 3.0 starter set would be perfection. I would literally die from happiness. So many updated sculpts they could do. Just realised how much I'd love it

[The Rumour Thread]

At first I thought all those crude wood and steel rumour engines are maybe for some warband or an update for FEC

But now, there's more and more of them, which makes me think it's an entirely new army. I'd love deadwalkers, but they'd probably be combined with vampires, which somehow feels to 'generic' for AoS

Now that I think about it, they do seem kinda skaven-y, which woulde be the best

Disciples of Tzeentch box sold out on the webstore after some thirty minutes. I guess we can expect to see a lot more boys in blue on the tables soon.

Ok now I'm sad. Didn't even realise you can already order them and they're gone. And obviously it's the one I wanted. There is still some hope in independent retailers or local stores, but I kind of feel like my dream is dying. Very dissapointed GW once again failed to deliver enough to meet demand

I really think they will go the 2 warbands route for seraphon like with Ironjawz meaning this will be a Skink only warband and a saurus one will be coming in a later season. For this one I expect another normal skink and maybe a Terradon/Ripperdactyl? Has there been another medium sized model like them before in another Warband, except Mollog?

Honestly that would make me even happier, more warbands, more models

Although I don't think a flying creature would be logical in cave environments. Kroxigors are kind of feel a connectio with skinks, but now that I think about it, salamanders and razordons also dorely need a new model and are connected with skinks, but that eould probably make for a warband with too much of an emphasis on shooting. So in the end I'm still believing (and frankly, hoping) for a kroxigor and a normal skink or two

Warning, heavy seraphon fanboying ahead

OH MY GOOOOOOD! New seraphon models and by Sotek, they're glorious. I loved the chameleon but the priest is even better. I also feel like he's a callback to the old tehenhauin model and I love it. Interesting how they pointed out that his orb/pokeball will have "major implications" for direchasm, I hope it means they'll develop underworlds lore more. I hope that the rest of the warband consists of a kroxigor, a saurus (both of which I really want to see reimagined with modern sculpts) and maybe an additional skink. It's honestly kind funny that this warband makes me more excited than the battletome or realmshaper engine.

As for the rest of the warbands I'd guess Vampires, ogres (as much as I'd love it to be some form of insects, somehow I can't see it happen), and obviously ossiarch and idoneth. So basically rip wallet (for the hundredth  time)

I find this really interesting. It doesn't seem to fit rest of the vampirate rumour engines. Other hand seemed skinny or pale, whereas this seems like a rather healthy, human hand. Don't think it's aelven either, weapon isn't fancy enough. I don't know what to make out of those lines, could be bite marks as someone mentioned, or maybe warpaint or just general scars, albeit weirdly placed. So I'd say either the speculated vampirates have living servants, or it's a CoS model (which I find more possible, though for Underworlds or a future warhammer quest game)

Funny the way Alarielle and Nagash seem to have little beef / history

Didn't necroquake make sylvaneth unable to hear the spirit song?

Seems like a pretty good reason to fight, whether to restore it or just take revenge. Although so far they haven't fought much if at all as you say, which I also consider strange, especially with life and death being opposites and all. Fighting undead would be a cool change from nurgle for sylvaneth

[The Rumour Thread]

So in the end we come to conclusion that visual tastes and opinions are fully imdividual, be it lumineth, twinsouls or anything else. What a revolutionary idea indeed

[The Rumour Thread]

Btw, KiriothTV on yt said he received info that battleforces will cost 140 £ if I remember correctly. I could be remembering wrong though, considering I watched this video a while ago.

Just that artwork makes me wonder why I hesitated if I should buy the tzeentch battleforce. It's so awesome

[The Rumour Thread]

So I only recently joined this community and I'm here to share my opinions nobody asked for! 😅

Just as I decide to start collecting tzeentch (btw my 8th army, only one being above 1k points) those gorgeous slaneesh models get released. Why. I'm already poor enough. The myrmidesh guys look so amazing, might be my favourite infantry models released in a long time. The twinsouls aren't as good, but cool too. Kinda surprised they're made from the same kit, considering recent monopose trend and also just how different they look. Would probably leave you with quite some extra bits, which is always good. I don't mind the twinsouls' faces, they kinda creep me out, as they are meant to do. One thing I don't necesarrily like is the horns on Sigvald, not everything chaos needs those to show how evil it is. Would probably cut them of if I were to buy him. As for the rest of the range, I'd guess it'll be archers/spearmen dual kit based on whu warband, slaangors, magician hero and maybe a big centerpiece, tho I somehow doubt that as we had new keeper of secrets not that long ago. 

S2D warband also looks awesome and the sorcerer continues the great trend of giving nice alternatives for not-so-great older models. Still, was hoping they'll show more of Seraphon warband, but I guess this preview was mostly chaos oriented.

Overall, please GW, focus on more space marine codexes so I can stop spending money and reduce my backlog

[The Rumour Thread]

Well it looks like I'm collecting tzeentch now
