Most of the symbols are explained by previous Warcry/Underworlds books, even the Spider one is explained and It is an empty location. The two new factions must be new without relation to previous symbols.
This makes me sad for most of these factions, though on the other hand it might make a slaanesh warband more likely. If so, I'd imagine them in a box with idoneth or DoK?

Oh dang! Maybe we will see Clans Shrykt in AoS4 afterall as the new “Kruleboyz”?
Maybe they'd fit more as a warcry warband?

I'm pretty sure Whitefang mentioned Death **Pro**tagonists, not antagonists

Steam Tanks do not share the size of Cogforts. IMO if we end up having Cogforts it would be something like Imperial Knights.
Yeah that would be great 👍 perhaps have an intermediary "Cog-Keep" like:
- steam tank (gun hauler size)
- cog-keep (frigate size)
- cog-fort (Ironclad size)

I'm worried that might be too big to be made as a model in the game, but it looks awesome. Could perhaps be made as a dual-kit Cogfort/Steamtank, with mention of the cogfort being favoured by the Cult of the wheel or something?

Silent people warband is possible, atp I'm inclined to believe they were just a random piece of fluff that's been forgotten by now though

Another Dawnbringer Chronicle, this time, Skaven.
Maybe a heavily armoured Warlock model will be coming with Dawnbringers?
"Then a thud echoed. Katchrikk’s glee choked. Another heavy impact saw the smoke ripple. A hulking shape stomped into view at the lip of the spire’s savaged gash – a figure entombed in a walking, gun-studded coffin of green-tinged metal.
"A keening, whirring din rang out. Ignoring Zzzit’s scream, Katchrikk raced to arm the spare warhead, as the generator mounted to Queelum’s armour roared – providing him the strength needed for the other Warlock to heft a ratling gun single-handedly, its barrels whirring and keening to life."
Sounds really fun - Skryre/Gaskitt style Army of Renown inbound with a rokkit warlock, some bombardiers and that Dreadgnaw-t warlock perhaps?

You just seemed adamant that it would be S2D, which I don't think it would be, I think it'll be GSG
5 hours ago, Pizzaprez said:It would be an extremely fun way to put a nail in the "spiderfang and savage orruks are on the chopping block!" speculation by putting out a big new character
Actually, with how identical that looks to the Arachanok, I almost wonder if they couldnt make an add-on sprue like King Brodd for a big new Spiderfang character?That would be cool yeah - or just as cool would be a sentient Arachnarok with some cool gubbins. Like shelob, but gitzy

Here are spider, and ossiarch rumour
True, and I was also expecting to the see the morghast with the most recently revealed warcry boxset or dawnbringers 4, but that didn't happen, and we got another death faction instead. For the current season, it seems unlikely to me to get two death factions in a row, as we've had 3 order factions, I'd expect a 4th for the final box this season.
There is indeed a Spider rumour engine, but considering how close that is to an arachnarok head, I'd be surprised if it turned up in S2D rather than GSG.
Even given that data, it seems unlikely to happen in dawnbringers 6, as opposed to the characters already in that narrative. Certainly not impossible, but weird and disappointing

- My bet on Dawnbringer VI at the end of February: Slaves Spider King vs Slaanesh Champion vs Nurlge
- Model from Novel: Godeater's Son
- Warcry: Ossiarch vs Tzeentch
- Skaven: ??, we wont have skaven untill 4.0
1. There have been no hints about Slaanesh or a Spider King in the previous dawnbringer books, I think you're allowing your wishlist into your predictions - and this is despite me wanting more Slaanesh stuff just as much as me.
I don't think we've seem anything about Nurgle since book 1, but it would make sense following their harbinger
But the Lady of Ruin and the Khorne character have been far more prominent throughout the story, so they will probably be released with Db6.
2. That'd be cool, but with Neave's crew and Callis and Toll, AoS has probably already seen its complement of BL characters for this year
3. Tzeentch had their warcry warband last season. Ossiarch remains possible, but that would be bucking the trend of an order faction against another GA of this season.
4. I still believe (and hope) the last dawnbringers book will have a skaven centrepiece character, but no more than one
7 hours ago, Public Universal Duardin said:If we'll ever get Grungni's Duardin, it'll be like the Lumineth were for High Elves - making sense why Dispossessed/old Dawi kits are in TOW (ie, they'll get phased out from AoS). I'm personally fine with that, keep AoS weird and wild. I also foresee Chorfs being wildly different than we remember them, but I personally hope they'll still retain the big hats! I could never live knowing Lumineth would have mightier hats than my beloved Chorfs 😭
See, I actually think that Chaos Dwarves with their babylonian aesthetics, blunderbusses and big hats are fairly unique already, whereas Dispossessed could be mixed up with Tolkien dwarves, so the latter would be more likely to change imo

Personal speculation about how I'd imagine a Chaos Dwarf release going, assuming about 9 kits (akin to the Lumineth release).
*Monster Kit that can be built as a Great Taurus or a Lamassu, with options for Sorcerer Prophet mount.
*Daemonsmith hero.
*Chaos Dwarf melee hero.
*Generic Chaos Dwarf infantry.
*Chaos Dwarf gunners.
*Bull Centaurs.
*Hellcannon.
*K'daai Fireborn.
*Elite Chaos Dwarf infantry (Immortals, Infernal Guard, whatever).
So about 13 warscrolls, assuming that Horns of Hashut and Hobgrot Slittas will be able to be taken in this army.
1. I agree some kind of gigantic bull based monster is necessary - if it could be a dual-build that would be even better, but I think the Lammasu would be the minimum weird-factor for AoS. In a comparison with Tahlia Vedra or Teclis, I think a great Taurus may be too tame.
2. Daemonsmith I think would work best with some kind of slave retinue - more of an engineer who directs his work in the midst of battle than one who does the hammering
3. Some kind of melee foot hero is probably a given. Whether a captain or berserker style remains to be seen.
4+5. I think the gunners with fireglaives/axe bayonets on blunder uses would be the basic infantry. Slow and steady, but well armoured and versatile (melee/shooting) would be a good contrast with the other duardin armies. This could perhaps be a dual-build with the big hat style and the Infernal Guard style?
6. I like Bull Centaurs conceptually, but I fear there'd be too much overlap with Kragnos, centigors + centaurian Marshal, potential Kurnothi, etc. Plus, if they're to lean into the slave/mercenary races (which they should imo), cavalry is the kind of role they could fill while setting them apart from the Duardin Zharr proper - so yeah, I actually hope for hob/grot cavalry of some kind
7. Some kind of daemon artillery seems a given, and fairly unique in the context of AoS. Prior to the CoS cannon I'd have liked it to be big enough to be a centrepiece in its own right, but now I'm not so sure?
8. K'daii, not sure they'd make the cut in their current form - perhaps if they were to become more mechanical, getting closer to the same aesthetics as the updated Hellcannon
9. For the elites, perhaps some kind of gunslingers?

It hasnt changed that much, but from the beginning we have seen the eater pits and the wyrdlights. The Ven Talax story and a few others. The last box could also just be under our nose the whole time.
This one is from Hunter and Hunted. Centigor stampede also sounds promising.
Have we seen spinecrawler webs and/or great stinkhorn? I can't remember all the different warcry warbands that have come out during 2e, but don't think there were any Gitz ones?

Skryre vs kurnothi would make more sense to me, nature fighting back against rampant industrialisation. Maybe engineers/acolytes and weapon teams/jezzails folded into a single unit
That definitely would make sense (and might _force_ me to get it) - however, I think Eshin fits better with the warcry skirmish format, and the leak from a couple of days ago excluded Eshin from the main Skaven release, and I want to believe the monkey-rats will be replaced sooner than later

Does anyone know if Krethusa has anything to do with CoS Lethis at all? Im brewing some raven themed Order thing.
Apparently not, considering Whitefang's sad face. I think she's just Daughters of Khaine, but in opposition to Morathi - where she could be entering the story seems confusing though

Whatever the next warcry band is: please let it be fighting against skavens.
I want rats, what can I say.
Honestly, there's a pretty decent chance imo - if the season's pattern is followed, the next box will be Order vs Chaos. Of the main chaos factions, all but 3 have had their warcry bands already. And of those three, Slaanesh and BoC don't seem to be in the spotlight ATM.
Now of course, the previous season's last boxset bucked the train of a god-chosen chaos warband vs X, so you'd be right to keep your hopes in check.
Personally, I'm going to hope for Eshin Skaven vs Kurnothi Sylvaneth - though I couldn't for the life of me predict the theme. Poison and Venom perhaps?

Hey there I don't know how much effort it would be, but could there be a filter for RE resolved during an event (or specific dates specifically)?

Because as I told Ejecutor earlier I dont want named plague monks, gutter runner or clanrat spetial character warbands, I want new plague monks, new gutter runners or new clanrats that could have been made instead of units that work like a specific knive and are harder to get on non AoS/UW games because of the diferent base sizes.
Also, cool that Warcry has taken notes then. I think it's the best for both games.
I get your negativity towards Underworlds for these stated reasons, I really do. However, I think you should see the skaven underworlds releases just like the developers do apparently: these are prototypes for the main release, the effort was always going to be spent creating them anyway, but by releasing them before the main release, it allows you to get a cool couple of models to tide you over and practice your new painting recipes on, and for them to test out the design and molding process for different details, and potentially to get feedback on what works or doesn't.
For instance, Slaanesh daemonettes never really grabbed my fancy, but as soon as I saw the first slaanesh underworlds warband I was hooked. You can see they were still experimenting with those models, and you can see how the full release is better for it.
1 hour ago, Ejecutor said:Yeah, after seeing all the guesses that everyone made and the lack of countdown images seems it is going to be a quick and quiet preview.
The only notable addition to me is that it seems we would get roadmaps, which is fuel for the Rumour Thread.I think it'll be a quiet preview for the mainline games, it'll be the Skirmish and HH games that get the big stuff imo
1 hour ago, Garrac said:Really Im not that familiarised with AoS setting and all, but one thing I find weird is, if the AoS 4th is coming in summer, GW will just do 2 dawnbringer books for 5-6 months? Is there anything else rumoured for AoS during that time?
I'd rather they don't release any big armybook updates in that timeslot, a lot of Astra Militarum and World Eater players felt really burnt by having to buy a new expensive codex which was then invalidated barely 4 months later

I do hope there's more for us than just a Morghast character and a teaser of book 5. Seems very light tbf. Also, expecting to see Kroots more than Custodes and Orks.
There's been a rumour about plastic Mandrakes ?
I'm preferring to err on the side of caution. Someone mentioned Armies of Renown though, which I could definitely see coming too.
-
OK, trying to think of my predictions for this:
- 40k: Ork and Custodes characters
- AoS: Morghast character, teaser trailer for Dawnbringers 5 with some silhouettes for the models to come. New roadmap
- HH: Solar Auxilia army box, plus a centrepiece model to be released alongside it. New Roadmap
- Warcry: Lumineth river temple vs Nighthaunt poisoners. The nighthaunt poisoners will be pulling double duty in dawnbringers 4, like the fyreslayers and gorgers warbands appeared in the AoR. New roadmap
- WHU: not sure we've seen much in terms of rumours? I'm going to guess Death as there haven't been any so far in DEATHgorge - if that would be the case, OBR or FEC, as those both only have 1 whu warband, whereas SBGL and NH both have 3+. New roadmap
Kill team: Mandrakes, perhaps a teaser for the next box (the current Kill Team season seems to have been delayed, and I'm expecting them to release a new edition towards August or September). Names for the following boxsets in the (shortened) roadmap.

Didn't include things like the "Lady of Ruin" character they keep hinting at, since we have so far too few evidence about it to qualify as a true rumour.
Thanks for the recap - iirc Whitefang liked a post describing the chaos Spear Rumour Engine as the Lady of Ruin's?

Yeah, I am not following 30k/40k that much. Just a personal opinion. I guess, seeing the feedback to my idea, that Space Marines users are happy buying the same armour sculpt over and over.
Well, they aren't the same armour sculpt over and over, they have quite a few details that differ, between unit types and chapters, and also between eras (40k and 30k). And the creation of the Primaris waves are exactly what you've been arguing for, what you are asking for is something that GW has been doing for the last 7 years. Whole new scale, whole new armour variants (all mkX: tacticus, gravis, phobos, omnis), whole new philosophy in how the codex is organised (from 5 or 6 basic unit types with many options, to ... lots of very specialised units with very few options).
You seem to be under the impression space marines are still the same old faction they were 10 years ago, but the Primaris have actually had profound effects already, and they still haven't fully replaced the old range. And they are also, still, profoundly divisive - many space marine players still refuse to acknowledge them so many years later.

For 40k, chaos needs their reveals too, which are meant for spring (ie before the redacted codex). Perhaps the next campaign book?
I think warcry also deserve their last box of the season to be revealed
I wouldn't be surprised about the next LI campaign book too.
Hopefully roadmaps this time?
I really feel for you - combined arms Eldar are a thing again if you still have those models. I'm also personally hoping they expand the corsair part of the list.
Joy Toy Grombrindal and mini Grombrindal co-release?
