My guess is, at best, they'll go the way of the Freeguild stuff and 'original' units with an aesthetic aligned with the new human stuff. The same way Fusiliers and Cavaliers are both different enough to Handgunners and Demigryphs to pretty much necessitate buying the new version.
I think if they'd repainted the existing Dwarf/Dark Elf models to more closely align with the new box scheme I'd be less cynical about their chances.
On the topic of repainted old models...
I'm still waiting for a good look at the new red Hammerhal Aqsha Steam Tank from the background of that one Irondrake/Alchemite focused picture from the Battletome. It even has the same basing as all the other new stuff. Hopefully it'll replace the current Steam Tank as a photo model on the webstore (although the warscroll still uses the Fantasy one for some reason)

It's clearly a hoverboard and they are about to drop in on a space half-pipe and shred some gnarly air!
Absolutely incredible model. Really hope it's like the Sisters of Battle special minis and it's not limited. I'm not a fan of FOMO, but this mini would have me seriously considering an unplanned purchase (and the fact that this is just imho a much better pose for the Champion in general).
I've toyed around with the idea of getting into LoV for a while now (even getting some Necromunda Squats before release to test some schemes), but painting white got me off that idea pretty quick.
I've got a trip lined up for this weekend to a place which just so happens to have a Warhammer store (I know lfgs would be cheaper), so I might finally bite the bullet and get a character to see if I really would want to do a full force in a more manageable scheme. Or maybe just a Kill Team.-

Someone metioned there's one left every month. One of them being the Warhammer day.
It's usually Warhammer Day towards the end of October, sometimes a bigger preview in November (last year we had Arks of Omen + a bunch of other stuff in November after a themed preview for Warhammer Day), and then a Black Library preview in December.
My personal guesses would be:
Warhammer Day: Anniversary Edition- Harry The Hammer
- Old World
- Nostalgia themed new stuff for 40k and AoS (Grombrindal?)
- Dawnbringers Book 3?
November Event Preview
- FeC reveal, maybe tease earlier
- Dawnbringers Book 3/4
- Bunch of 40k
- Misc. Old World, Necromunda etc.
December Black Library
- Siege of Terra finale
- Callis and Toll minis
- 40k/HH BL mini

I like several Cities a lot:
Hammerhall(s), Lethis and Misthavn.
can you make the poll multiple choice?
Making it single choice might have been a bit of a bad idea in hindsight.
Can't edit it sadly, only way to make a multiple choice one would be making a new topic.

Having looked at some of the available snippets, I really hope all this "Great Wheel" zealotry doesn't mean there is a bullet point in Nottingham in "Cities_of_Sigmar_Design_Doc.docx" saying "Don't use wheels on new Cities minis. Ever. Except if they aren't being used."
I might still really want a new War Wagon/Big War Altar/Ironweld Vehicle 😛

I'm definitely stealing that Sergeant helmet idea. Great little conversions all around!

Since most of us who ordered the Cities army box should have hopefully received it by now, I thought it would be interesting to know which City is (at least from TGA’s sample size) the most liked in terms of lore and hobby, disregarding current, past or future hopes for rules.
- What colour scheme catches your eye the most?
- Which City has the most modelling potential?
- What are your favourite snippets of lore from them (Greywater Rattletraps, Tempest’s Eye transportation, Living City in general)?
- Which factions would be fun allies to bring in variety to your collection while remaining cohesive in theming?
(Also, this has absolutely nothing to do with me being indecisive in deciding what City I should go with.)-

Plenty of places still have it for sale in the UK. Might be the case where you are too?
Oh, I already have my copy on the way
But yeah, some places probably still have it in stock (both in terms of GW webstore regions and LFGS-s) that may justify the update.

360 views of the models for the Cities box are (partially) up (rest of the files will probably be uploaded to their servers later 😛).
A while after it sold out, but I'm glad we still have them.-

My solution to second shooting block is via allies. 3 Starshard Balistas (Lumineth) are individually very strong, and taking multiple you are getting the 36" range buff. Combined with the reliable profile and low cost at 120 you can easily bring 3 and let them have a go at lonesome priority targets turn 1 without even needing to move. Since they dont require any buffs and even offer a single turn debuff, I believe you should be able to get your points worth back.
For those planning to run Greywater this might be a serious pick to consider since our own cannon is overpriced, short ranged and really not that impressive.
Aelves? In my Greywater? What are we, Settler's Gain?

And here starts my new hobby journey with CoS (the box arrived today).
Gonna fine tune the colour scheme while assembling the minis, gonna go for a sea green and blue scheme.
Just got notified by my LFGS that they are handing over my order for delivery tomorrow. Hopefully it arrives early next week so I can get started on these miserable swamp-lads too.

Just thought about something for the (presumably) Valkia/Khorne themed upcoming Dawnbringers book.
SpoilerSince the Twin-Tailed Crusade's path has been outlined in Dawnbringers I, we know that the Aqshyan half is probably going towards the mountains (with maybe Chorfs, more likely source of Gloomspite forces), and the Ghyranite half is heading North towards the edge Verdia to the coast and close to Greywater Fastness.
That reminded me of this image from Warcom. Khorne vs Greywater, which does not appear in the Battletome.
Spoiler
Since Greywater seems have had almost as much attention in terms of studio armies as the posterfaction of Hammerhal Aqsha, I really hope it means we get some good narrative content for the city alongside the (most likely) Khorne focused 3rd/4th book.

I really want the 4th ed. antogonist to be Chaos Dwarves. Only, you know, cool-looking this time.

Iirc Skaven are already pretty much confirmed to be the big bad faction. I still really really hope Chorfs will be released like Lumineth wave 2 or Soulblight though.

My Drakespawn knights are converted Sisters of the Thorn, so I converted a Drakespawn Chariot accordingly
Feels like we are halfway to someone making a full AoS Kislev City. The deer would go really well with an ice sled. And red and blue is a surprisingly nice colour combo.

Da Orruks have PSYHIC WEAPONS AGAIN!!! TIME TO WAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHH!!!!
10 hours ago, Clan's Cynic said:Oh wow. Even as somebody who loved the old Black Orcs/Ardboys, I'm really surprised how great these are.
Oh no, now I want to add an Ironjawz contingent to my small Warclans army to go with/against my Cities.
But should they be yellow? Greywater is yellow, my Kruleboyz are yellow, my Gitz are black with yellow, maybe I should finally consider another main colour...

So had a listen, she returns to Hammerhal ghyra because of a large khornate invasion.
Bit weird that the First Marshal of Hammerhal Aqsha has to help out Hammerhal Ghyra, considering that it probably should have a First Marshal of it's own. Colour me intrigued.

What's everyone thoughts for the preview. We've got FEC and Ironjawz incoming . 40k will bespace marines I bet ( I don't mind the release of the poster boys for a new edition but I can't be doing with the host gushing over them and the wet knickers. Didn't want it taking up 50% of the overall time!) But what else is there. What did the Warcry and underworlds timelines hint at?
Here we go again:
40k
- Full Space Marine range, maybe Admech and Necron single minis
AoS
- Big Ironjawz reveals, Troggoth, maybe FeC tease?
Underworlds
- Cities vs Orruks (100% baseless guesswork, please GW let my constant tip of a CoS Warband happen at one of these previews)
Warcry
- Those 2 ogor REs, guessing plastic Maneaters (if they don't come with Dawnbringers)
Horus Heresy
- Big box with Mark III, Dreadnought, new generic Characters
The Old World
- Plastic Bretonnian Pegasus and plastic TK equivalent character, maybe the rumoured SC/Vanguard style boxes
Blood Bowl
- High Elves or Chaos Dwarfs (please) / Surprise Amazons/Norsca style team (Kislev? Tomb Kings? Cathay?)

For 40k they'll be Spacecast Eternals for sure.
But I'm also hoping for Kroot. There's a few Kroot rumour engines to be resolved, and they had a recentish Kill Team so that means new stuff is more likely to be main 40k.
(Yes, I know I'm being unrealistic, but allow me hope)
T'au Codex is coming next Spring after a (reportedly) large Dark Angels release.
If (I'm 100% sure we will be getting at least a 2-3 kit Kroot release) we are getting both DA and Kroot, I could see DA coming early Spring and Kroot at the end just before CSM.

As I've said before, us Space Dwarf fans have been waiting for the definite Votann second wave since forever*, so don't go holding your breath.
(*just hope it doesn't take as long as the wait for the first wave)
I've always assumed that a Votann second wave would come with tthe 10th edition codex.

Don't you have something with that kind of discounts in your country? I am surprised by the messages here how many people people buys straight from the GW site. I bought a couple for 199,12 € (including a 35,84 voucher I got with loyalty points), when its GW price in euros is 155. And normally you get those boxes earlier than the ones from GW.
I got it from a local store for (converted from local currency) around 115-120 €.
Delivery times have been pretty rough recently (Harbringers came 2 weeks after release for the local distributor from the Britain, end of July releases are still not in the country etc.), so that's why I mentioned the UK.

They'd look really cool in an Ironweld focused army, like elite, top-of-the-line engineer-handgunners.
