Does anyone think that saturday could be a significantly longer reveal show than the previous ones we’ve gotten? If they are revealing AOS 3 (which is what it looks like due to the banners) shouldn’t they give it the attention it deserves?
-
Definitely painting all my vamps armor in purple after seeing this mini! Might test it on Prince Duvalle...
-
Looks like a cool centerpiece though, still hoping for a dragon😉
-
Yeah looks like a halberd or something like that.
-
Think those rumors are a little outdated? We’ve already seen Lumineth units, witch hunters and zombies so we’ll probably see the rest.

Do what all vampires do and chill until the witching hour.
Or gather some tasty snacks😬😂

Quick question, when’s the new white dwarf come out? I was hoping to pick it up for the fallen rules for 40k on top of the battle reports and stuff.
-
Anyone think this is Kragnos’ face?

Graveguard are on Soulbound bestiary, but also skeleton archers... so I'm betting for new graveguard models.
btw full list on the bestiary is: necromancer, deadwalker zombie, dire wolfs, fell bats, grave guard, deathrattle skeleton, wight king, vampire lord
Any art for the skeleton archers by any chance?

Agree with most of the list, but not this.
Kharadron need no gods.
A special ability that ups the difficulty of prayers near Kharadron heroes would be a lot more welcome than yet another god army. Let them stand out among the religious.
I could see that! Just thought he might be the centerpiece as he was in the belakor book.

Alright going through each faction
Order
Stormcast: Hoping the Brettonian themed stormcast rumor is true, if not more specific characters would be cool!
Cities of Sigmar: New knights and order of azure like in the cursed city box. New free guild units would be good too.
Daughters of Khaine: Personally have no idea. A monster would be really cool, maybe a giant viper.
Fyreslayers: Grimmir. Hope that the fyreslayers get him as their centerpiece model.
Idoneth Deepkin: Crab riders, kraken as a centerpiece and maybe fish familiars that have a function in the army.
Kharadon Overlords: Grungi as their centerpiece. Also war walkers maybe.
Lumineth Realm Lords: Tyrion and phonies dragons.

Maggotkin of Nurgle: New harbringer of decay and Epedimus.
Hedonites of Slaneesh: Pleasure palaquin? While I’m writing this two new named keepers have been announced.
Death
Flesh Eater Courts: Royal court and knights, also court mage maybe.
Soulblight Gravelords: Skeleton Archers, new centerpiece, new corpse cart and new winged vamp infantry unit.
Nighthaunt: New Hexwraith Calvary kit.

Skeleton archers would make sense, SBGL don’t have any ranged options and even if it’s crappy shooting it’s still some shooting.

that would sure be nice but i still have hope for abhorash
I agree, for the hedonites battletome glutos was hidden on the cover and I think it’s the same case with this named vampire lord (Vhordai, Aborash, Etc.) on a dragon. Dire wolves are basically confirmed and I think more is in store, probably winged vamp infantry like the one in underworlds set.

Will the River Temple wizard be a water bending Bruce Lee?
Now that you mention that I will be very disappointed if it’s not😂.

Cool! That new rune of drakes is pretty cool. Hoping for the classic sun, moon and star dragons.

Do we have any new lore sections on the new battletome? Hints at the river warriors and temple? Rumors of what Tyrion is doing? Haven’t bought it yet and was just curious.
-
Anybody think we will get a dirge engine unit? Maybe a ballista on a new corpse cart?
-
Do we think we are getting a new corpse cart? It’s currently sold out on GW’s website and it needs an update.
-
I’m hoping blood knights are Varanguard level . I hope they hit like trucks and just shred things. Also I’m hoping for foot vamps, the savage vamp in the underworlds warband would be a great candidate, and they could go through animals. We already have half wolf in cursed city so it would make sense if they did a couple more.

Quick thought, what if Kragnos leads the kurnothi but they are destruction? They are basically wild aelves and the whole centaur vibe is really cool.
-
Are there any rumors of a new vamp lord on zombie dragon? The kit needs updating but if there isn’t I’ll just convert one.
-
I was wondering how Blademasters would look in the base scheme if the blue was replaced by red. I’m super bad at photo shop and can’t seem to get it right, but I think it would really nice.

Oh speculation! I really love that, always interesting, and in the end GW does something unexpected (like dropping 11 warscrolls on us after 9(?) months 😅).
My take would be this:
Tyrion/Sun Spirit/Phoenix Temple: The Sun Spirit will almost certainly be a phoenix or phoenix-dragon like creature. We have seen so many hints about the sun spirit being a phoenix now, I can't imagine this won't be the case. The latest one on the Bannerblade again, where it's absolutely clear: Opposite of Celennar and its symbol right be low it. How this will tie in (or not) with Phoenix Temple is really interesting. The Ur-Pheonix and Tyrion share the same symbol. GW really takes these symbols serious in the Lumineth range so I can't imagine that's just a coincidence. The Phoenix Temple also would fit in so well with aelementiri temples. If the Anointed was a mage, it would be 100%. As they are wholly warriors this might be Tyrion's sole martial order. On the other hand I have my doubts that they'll blow up CoS in this way, so there might be just some kind of background/lore connection between them (they act as Tyrion's eyes and ears in the other Realms, and revere Tyrion in form of the Ur-Phoenix, or something like that). How Legions of Nagash and the new Soulbight will be handled could give us a hint about which direction CoS are going.
We have two more interesting hints about the Sun Spirit and eventual phoenix-dragons. We have 6 Warden chest-armors. The High Warden shows a phoenix, the wardens have one sun and one moon symbol, and Celennar on them.
And then these two here:
The first one could easily be a weird mask for the sun spirit (although the phoenix's face on the banner and wherever we see it looks more like a normal bird/beast) , and the second one looks very much like the faces of dragons/phoenixes shown on the first pages of our Battletome.
Now the question is how they would be released. The Sun Spirit is easy, It'll come together with Tyrion, either same model or as a separate identity. Concerning the phoenx/dragons, I think we'll see something like a "New Caledor" (in the same way Zaitrec is "New Saphery") in one of the Tyrionic nations. But one difference between the Lumineth and the High Elves is, that Lumineth do not really have special units tied to the Great Nations (Ymetrica is more a Great Nation tied to a Temple) in the same form the HE had. So the dragons might be just another form of Vanari Elite in the end. I think we'll see heavy cavalry with Tyrion so they could take that function.
Temples: The River temple could just come out on it's on at some point or with Tyrion. It likely will consist of three units again and seems the most martial focused one. They likely have two sword-like weapons or something like a glaive, maybe double bladed. The temples are more Teclian aligned, but they do have their warriors, which are the more Tyrionic aspect within the temples. The devs again shows this on the models: The Stoneguard have little sun amulets on their belts, and the new Windcharger warriors also have sun symbols on them. I don't think we'll see 4 Tyrionic martial orders, although that'd be awesome. The Vanari are more Tyrionic aligned, but again have some Teclian elements in them (Dawnriders being very much on the Tyrionic side, Bladelords almost Teclian). So there is a balance. None is 100% either side.
I doubt we'll see the Zenith temple in the same way as the rest. They haven't mentioned any zenith warriors, it's all about the mages, and in the Battletome it says somewhere that a zenith mages is (almost) as powerful as an aelementor. I also wonder which spirits of light there are besides the Sun and Moon Spirit. There are other moons of course, and they could come up with something, but I have my doubts there. Maybe they have several different Light of Eltharion-like models?
Release schedule: I don't think we'll see another bigger release (eg Tyrion) anytime within this or next year (earliest end of next year maybe). The river temple might come out at some point if they don't want to tie it to the Tyrionic release. If the Severith is a Wind Spirit from Ymetrica, I have the feeling the River Temple will come out separately from Tyrion and be located along the Great Daixo River in Ymetrica (which they called Great Daiko River in the WD article).
There are so many other direction they can go and factions they have to support, and Tyrion seems to be likely taken up when the Slaanesh story will continue which also should take a while. And with all the new stuff, if most of the new models don't have bad rules, this should keep us occupied for a long long time.
Love this and can agree and see all this as likely. Maybe the zenith alementor is one the dragons as zenith is just light. Also I hope the river warriors will be armed with glaives, we know they are armed with a sort of blade and glaives would make the most sense now that we have sword masters.

Kinda thinking swamp goblins or a swarm type race by the trailer.
