Looks like warhammerfest will give a release date! Come on 2023!!
Guess it's 2023 then. Interested to see what comes out for it with 40k 10th also coming soon.

The attached is from soulbound rpg book and with the rite of life sweeping across the mortal realms its the perfect opportunity for Kurnoth to return My only concern is the lack of rumour engine pics that point to kurnothi models but who knows we may get some soon.
I mean, we also don't have basically any Cities and very few non-Warcry FEC looking REs, even though we know they are coming.

No big suprise, but looks like the 40k launch box is being revealed at Warhammerfest
"And that isn’t all – you’ll get to see all the new miniatures available in the massive new launch box in person."
What does this do to our reckoning and guesswork of timescales for upcoming AoS releases?
I'm guessing:
- Gallet book with Incarnate and that leaked "constructed Dawnbringer settlement" terrain (maybe they are saving that for a potential Dawnbringer campaign book in the Fall?)
- Warcry FEC vs SCE box (+ terrain?)
- 4th Cities mini (probably something a bit bigger i.e.: Hero, Ogor, cavalry)
- BONUS: Surprise teaser for new faction coming 2024/next significant story event (Dawnbringer campaign book?)

All these fluff articles mentioning how factions are destroying Dawnbringer Crusades does make a Dawnbringer themed Wrath of the Everchosen style book more possible in my min

Oh my Sigmarrrr it's amazing!
But also, this is actually imo the best artwork we've gotten of a City of Sigmar (apart from that one Azyrheim and Hammerhal one)
Hope to see many more this late-Summer/Fall 😛-

I just realized something about COS release.
Like Seraphons, we know they're going to have an army set (from Chapter Valrak, confirmed by @Whitefang) . And like the lizards (or any army that got this treatment), there should normally be 2 months between army set and full army release. But if COS comes out in fall (official), let's say november, we should therefore have the army set in... september ! With the official announcement at Nova Open reveals. Of course, GW will have already revealed some new minis in previous months.
Reminds me of a brand new army release last year... hmm... repeat Leagues of Votann ? (First announcement at the beginning of april, next at WarFest, then gradually in june and july, army set revealed at Nova Open, released in september and final and complete release at the beginning of november)
I may be getting too far ahead, but I bet we've got the COS roadmap : i can't wait for April 29 even more !
Next reveal at Warhammer Fest and then a biweekly article series during Summer seems likely.
Heck, even LoV were shown on the then current 40k roadmap as an Autumn release 😛
I know it's way too early to speculate on army box contents, but I might as well do something with my hype.
So, based off the Votann/Imperial Guard launch sets, I propose:
-Freeguild Leader
-Warrior Priest/Collegiate Mage
-20 Freeguild Guard (the ones we've seen already)
-3-5 Ogors
+Bombard (if on the smaller side)/a 5 man cavalry unit?-

Imo if this is really a Lumineth style reimagining of the current human range I'd say the basic troops being comparatively bland (though detailed) is a strength rather than a weakness (even the standard Lumineth infantry aren't far removed from bog standard generic "high elf pikeman"), and I think it will be the more elite units that make or break this refresh in terms of fresh aesthetics (like the Cow Golem or Cow Helmets or Flying Cloud Mage or Literally a Suit of Armour for Lumineth).
Imagine these relatively bland troops flanking an enormous extravangantly decorated Steam-driven War Altar! Or supporting a realm-stone shell shooting massive bombard! Or surrounding a squad of elite Greatswords whose armour is covered head to toe in finely detailed Azyrite markings (maybe with gargoyle covered shoulderpads?)!

And Blood Bowl?
I'm guessing it's way too early for more Cities or 40k 10th model reveals.
On the contrary, I think we will be seeing quite a few minis from the 10th ed. launch box over the coming weeks.
Not expecting more Cities until Warhammerfest, although since they don't really have any other AoS news to drop until September-October when CoS are expected to drop (barring a potential FEC release beforehand), I really hope the range refresh has the weight to be able to be stretched out until then.

RUMORS
Sorry if that's already been discussed ; the new Blades Of Khorne battletome has a picture (page 3) containing apparently new scenery for SCE/Cities/Dawnbringers : at long last INTACT Azyrite building (on the left, two levels building with stairs, and on the right with battlements).
I know GW sometimes 3d print scenery (like that Ossiarch Castle) but this looks new and plastic (kit) to me. Will it look good next to the grittier Cities infantry design ?
WOW
I didn't think I'd actually be able to make a not-in-construction Dawnbringer settlement to go with my Cities army.
I really like how that looks!
They also used the under construction variants of these for the background in the Freeguild reveal video, so maybe this will tie-in to the Dawnbringer Campaign Book/Cities release?-

When is the 40 year anniversary of Fantasy supposed to be? I have it in my head it was to coincide with Warhammer Fest but I could be completely wrong.
Either way, I certainly feel an Old World reveal next month!
It's gonna be hard to top Adepticon but if we had Old World, full 10th edition box and more CoS, that would be pretty darn close for me.
40th anniversary is in July.
I'd wager we'll be getting three days of reveal shows (like the last two Warhammer Fests), one for each of the main games and their respective Specialist Games/a day for both 40k and AoS and one for everything else
So, something like this:
AoS day: FeC vs Stormcast Warcry, first signs of main game FeC (probably the other Summer BT), Gallet (and hopefully the next CoS mini 😛)
Specialist Games/HH day: Necromunda, Horus Heresy, HH Epic teaser?, Blood Bowl
40K day: full 10th box, various other 10th shenanigans
And maybe a TOW tease

If a lot of non-humans are squatted, do we even know if we'll have all those cities as subfactions? What if they, Sigmar forbid, simply use them as different colour schemes?
As long as we see official studio minis for Greywater, no more grudges shall be added to the book.

Collegiate Arcane should be safe by now.
So Hurricanum stays, but Steam Tanks and Gyros are out?
Bit miffed to be honest, although those will probably come back for TOW, as the Steam Tanks had already been made by then. Not sure about the Gyros.

OK so if we go by the new leaks we got and just assume all human stuff gone we got:
Being cut: 34
- Wanderer- 6
- Freeguild- 9
- Ironweld Arsenal- 7
- Collegiate Arcane- 6
- Phoneix Temple- 6
Staying: 24
- Darling Coven- 7
- Dispossessed- 6
- Shadowblades- 3
- Pirates- 4
- Order Serpentis- 4
That would leave the current army roster (with assuming that Collegiate also gets cut and that all Delf units remain) at:

Or, more concisely:

Or even more concisely:

Curious to see if these become permanent fixtures in the future (i.e.: with updated Dispossessed Labour Clans and Aelf Underworld minis), or disappear at an instant when Malerion and Gholemkind come out eventually

The loss of Ironweld will hurt my current collection's playability quite a lot, but as long as we get some usable Legends rules I'll be content.
I really like the aesthetic of (what I assume is) the new Freeguild Guard + Sergeant. Can't wait to see what some of the bigger minis look like!I'm also relieved that it seems like Greywater is present on the artwork, otherwise I might have had to run my army as Hammerhal 😛
-
Having waited to watch the show after getting home, my god this is exciting!
Cities infantry looks great! I don't have a particular problem with any design choices (I especially like the fancy-but-worn helmets), and seeing those shields painted completely resolves any issues I might have had with them. I also like the cloth padding giving us some space for City colours.
The potential axing of the Steam Tank does worry me a bit, but everything else imo was expected. Going to have to get that last Steam Tank and two artillery pieces sooner rather than later. But the presence of Greywater Fastness on the artwork does soothe me a little.
The release date is also further out than I had hoped, but I'm just glad we are getting them this year 😛
Hopefully this reveal means the era of CAD models has ended. Next minis at Warhammer Fest? Or maybe they are starting another series of articles that shows 1-3 minis every month or two until October-November?Seraphon are nice to see, might have to get some Kroxigors!
Other things are also quite exciting, although having Stormcast for Underworlds instead of Cities is a bit disappointing (although predictable), but I like that we have some alternate poses for Knights-Arcanum at least.

It could also be Seraphon, Soulblight, Ossiarchs, and a new season of war. I am hoping it'll be a first look at Cities of Sigmar though, the main thing giving me pause is that the Cities update was announced at Warhammer Fest last year and so it feels more fitting to have them be revealed there as part of a "1 year later here's where we are thing"
Even if we get a first look here, I think the main reveal (i.e.: more than 1-2 minis), will be saved for Warhammer Fest.
Also, didn't the Khorne and Slaanesh heroes share a video for the Open Day reveals iirc? Could be a similar thing for the two Death factions. -

So just having a look at the Youtube playlists, the ones for the games getting announcements tonight have the following unavailable videos:
Horus Heresy: 2 videos
Kill Team: 1 video
Underworlds: 1 video
AoS: 4 videos
This is usually what they do when they have late night previews, upload videos to YouTube set to go live after a certain time to save more than the streaming team having to stay up till the small hours. So looks like we could be getting a few reveals for AoS tonight
4 AoS Videos???
Maybe all these wild speculations about us getting more for Cities than the Underworlds Warband will turn out to be true?

Honestly with Nagash currently being Down for The Count lore wise, I wouldn't mind seeing some "upstart" death-gods expand their power through the realms in order to claim his spot. Some would call this a cliche, others divine justice, I'd call it something interesting.
A Priest of Morrda would be lovely for Cities. Maybe surrounded by a sizeable murder of crows 😛

I agree with @KingBrodd, @Asbestress and @Clan's Cynic but wouldn't that be substantially more than last year ?
(Pro memoria :
I'd say it's (with just some stretches 😛)
Ash Wastes = Kill Team
Underworlds Warband = Underworlds Box
Knights = Ossiarchs + Soulblight
Norse Team = Horus Heresy Squad + Book
Thondia + Incarnate = Gallet + Incarnate
Nighthaunt mini = Kroxigors/Seraphon/CoS
Chaos Teaser = Lion/Lion book
Hours Heresy Trailer = 40k Trailer
Horus Heresy mini = Terminator/Tyranid
This year we have less small/Specialist Games to cover, so I think it's possible we might see more for the main games.-

As Adepticon approaches, what are your peeps' wishlists?
Here's mine (both with some "safer" options, and some wilder speculation 😛, roughly adhering to last year's amount of reveals)
Spoiler40K
-Beginning of show and finale (10th at the end, Lion first)
-Lion El'Jonson + Arks of Omen Lion
-Terminator and Tyranid
-Animated Trailer
AoS
-Gallet Book + Terrain and Bone Spider
-Soulblight + Ossiarchs BTs
-Seraphon Army Set
-First CoS anything
Underworlds
-Gnarlwood Season 2 Box with Cities vs Tzeentch
40K Kill Team
-Votann vs Beastmen
Horus Heresy
-Plastic Squad/Tank, first Campaign Book37 minutes ago, KingBrodd said:Im keeping my hype on lockdown.
Seasons of War II with Incarnate.
Seraphon.
Tzeentch Warband.
Thats it. Everything else is multiple layers of icing on a cherry flavoured cake.
Nice line-up, but I still hope that semi-confirmation of Cities pays off!

If this is a teaser for Underworlds, does that mean yesterday's Cities teaser is potentially main line AoS?
If we actually do get something more than just an Underworlds Warband I'm gonna cry tears of joy!
A mainline CoS reveal would also serve as a nice transition to Underworlds and vice-versa in the show, although I would have expected Cities to be the AoS thing for Warhammer Fest (which is still most likely to happen. Start building hype a month before with a single squad/mini, then do the big reveal)

Another Relictor?
Not that I'm complaining... (I love the look and think they fit really well as Cities auxiliaries, and this also somehow looks more character-y than the Knight-Relictor 😛)

Something Destruction? Reminds me of the Ogre maces.
BY SIGMAR
I was not expecting that (basically) confirmation for Cities! Underworlds or main game, now I'm 100% more hyped for this show than I've been for any the past 6 months!
Also, if this follows the pattern of us getting REs that get revealed the week they are shown (Warhammer World Open, New Years iirc), then we may actually be getting more than just an Underworlds Warband (first mini reveal, but a Maneater instead of the expected basic infantry/character?)

Probably because of the Questing Knight looking CAD renders they showed off in the last article.
