Another throwaway account, another list...
Seems a bit similar to the last one, but damn would this be good.Cities list sounds plausible, although the Excelsior Warpriest might not fit into the more "grimdark medieval" style they got going on (might just be the bright studio paintjob though).
Also, War Wagon? Like, wagon with guns? Swordsmen? Cannons?And OoA (Order of Azyr?) Warriors mixing flagellants and priests in aesthetic (maybe more armoured fanatics?) would be amazing!Cannons?

Adepticon should be rest of Seraphon and some SG stuff warbands
Warhammer Fest will be split into 3 days (Main game system + SGs):
HH with first non-compendium book
AoS with FEC, new Warcry season and the first full CoS miniature
40k with the full 10th revealMonthly TOW articles will start ramping up soon with some miniature teasers, aim is to have everything ready for a release in the next 12-18 months (all that's left is mainly production for the initial wave)
Apart from the Spring wave Tomes (Khorne, Hedonites, Soulbight, Ossiarch) the release order should be Seraphon, Flesh Eaters, Cities, and then the new book series in Q4/Q1 with another sizeable wave for DestructionFEC with Sylvaneth sized release
Now for the main thing you askedCities will follow previous new army releases with 10-14 kits
General/Named General
Wizard
Excelsior Warpriest rerelease
Witch Hunter
Veterans/Greatswords
Guards
Gunners/Arbalists
OoA infantry (Flagellants x Warrior Priests)
Ogor Elite/Maneaters
War Altar/War Wagon
Bombard

Ironweld Upgrades (Kind of like the Cadian one, included in Steam Tank kit to update crew + available separate)Battletome Cities
Hammerhal
Phoenicium
Misthavn
Greywater Fastness
Tempest's Eye
ExcelsisSubfactions
Freeguild
Ironweld
Dispossessed
"Aelf Underworld" (Privateers + Darkling remains)
Phoenix TempleDispossessed and some aelf stuff planned for the future, Privateers mainly staying to not immediately invalidate last edition's SCs/Dark Rider's precarious position of having to stay in production for DoK Warlocks without having another army to slot into for now.
Another throwaway account, another list...
Seems a bit similar to the last one, but damn would this be good.-

It would be a great niche to fill, without encroaching on the future Dawnbringer's range : a kind of rehearsal before the great fireworks !
Also, with it having been 62 days since the last Dawnbringer Preview, unless we get something at Adepticon somehow, I think we should be due a new one this week (or at least, this month).
Anyone have any ideas what new Rumour Engine-esque renders we'll see this time 😛? (Ngl, atleast a new piece of less-spoilery art or a full mini would be great, although that will mostly likely be for either Warhammer Fest, or if we are getting an Army Set in October-December, the NOVA Open in August/September.)-

Ooh, nice catch ! I don't want to put too much hope in it but actually they released cards only with Underworld's fighters known until now. We also remember artwork with COS explorers lost in the jungle in Gnarlwood rulebook...
Sure, there were Hexbane's Hunters not too long ago, but I figure there's room for another human warband. Other than Tzeentch and Nurgle, I feel like every other AoS army has been served fairly since Underworlds has existed (ok from memory, Ossiarchs, Idoneth or Fyreslayers only had one warband too)
I swear if we get another Witch Hunter before the range refresh is out 😛 (probably with a multi-part Witch Hunter)...
But (speculating based on the card art) a more armoured "Freeguild Expeditioner Veterans" Warband would be really cool!-

AoS gets some love on Wh+ :
Interesting Free Guild soldier style in this teaser... Slightly different from the conquistador look. Can we imagine that is a hint to the future Dawnbringer Crusade ?
There's a chance
The overall style looks close(ish) to the renders we've had so far.-

It doesn't even have to be a FOMO mini, a pot of paint for like 50 sprues would probably already be more than enough.
This would be the biggest issue for me too if it came to my country. The GW official store in my city closed, so I'd have to travel a couple cities over just to recycle plastic. I don't know if the recycling weighs up to the travel emissions.
Wait, you guys have GW stores?

Third one will be HH on Thursday
Also, Cities articles (if I remember correctly), haven't been highlighted in any Sunday Previews thus far as "coming next week", they just sorta pop out every two months.

I would have said the opposite : Cities around September/October and The Old World for November/December.
I'd have to agree, although I don't think we'll see the whole refresh released this year (like Sisters getting an Army box in October-November and getting their main release in January/the new S2D and Imperial Guard).
It'll be interesting to see if TOW does materialise this year, as I think it's a bit interesting that they have switched from "an article when we feel like it" to seemingly monthly ones.
Also, if they keep the roughly bimonthly interval for Cities articles (the last 3 since the initial reveal have all been separated by between 52-57 days), then I think we should be getting both a TOW and Cities refresh one the coming week.-

I am very much looking forward to seeing how GW handles the rules for Khorne and Slaanesh. Both of these books have the potential to be a huge win, they just have to stick the landing.
I'm a little surprised that they revealed those two times so soon. Perhaps the rapid push-out of the first 3 Spring battletomes bodes well for at least one of the death tomes coming with additional/updated models.
There's been a number of tumor engines that are speculated to be FEC. Much as I'd love more OBR as well, I feel like this is less likely, and they'll probably just get the solo foot hero treatment.
We've already seen both reboxed Soulblight and Ossiarchs, so the speed is probably just so that they can get:
-40k 10th Edition out in the Summer
-(Supposedly, although I'd consider Valrak a pretty reliable source) The Old World by the end of the year
-And probably the Cities refresh in Fall-December -
Just now, Ogregut said:
Hexbane's Hunters warscrolls haven't dissappeared, they freely available on the app.
I know, they just haven't been put back up on WHC or put into the CoS roster on Warscroll Builder, probably because they just don't want to bother updating it until the range refresh is out.

At this point I've just abandoned all hope of seeing the Hexbane's Hunters Warscrolls again on WHC until the BT comes out...
Also, bit weird that Gryselle isn't a Gladiatrix with her followers as a separate Warscroll, although it's cool to see a Warband that's not for a faction's main subfaction (Har Kuron/Anvilgard).-

have to disagree as this would mean hamstringing AOS Seraphon design in order to "fit them" into WHF... Seraphon having more Old Ones magitek and sleeker armor/weapons/designs is awesome. Show us the full might of these celestial daemon-ish beasts! It doesn't have to be ridiculous, but I want to see more usage of magitek than what WHF/TWW got.
Good lore reason for that could be that the Lizardmen didn't have access to the more advanced tech because their Temple Ships were dormant, and now that the Seraphon have fully activated ones more tech has become available in hidden storages/workstations/really advanced spawning pools.

Hmmm...
I still live in the hope that the second one is a Dawnbringer, although the BSF Beastmen have similar bandaged arms.
-
A new reveal event, a new chance to not see Dawnbringers 😛
Jokes aside, I think we are most likely getting some event minis, or if we are lucky some Spring BT reveals.-

Not much in terms of an update, but I wanted to get some lore flowing.
LOREThe forming of the 32nd Greywater Expeditionary Force was, at least officially, an unremarkable event; another Dawnbringer Crusade sent forth to expand the city's outermost defensive perimeter further into the Ghoul Mere in hopes of the city limits eventually growing to meet the Festermere Realmgate. Digging into the Order of Azyr's records, however, shines a different, and altogether more concerning light on it's founding.
Shortly after Kragnos' awakening and rampage at Excelsis, a series of disappearances rocked the upper echelons of the city. From agrichamber managers and local civic leaders to eventually even a member of the Grand Conclave. At the height of the crisis, a member of Gorring Ivarsson's advisory, the High Arbiter Ivon Honburg, herself a controversial reformer, petitioned Azyrheim for aid.
Receiving word of the unfolding events, Andrass von Grenspire, a Provost-General of the Order in Azyrheim and famed Witch Hunter, together with his entourage, arrived to investigate.
He was joined by Josukai ven Besh, a celebrated warrior and Captain of a company of Greywater Sappers, and several local agents. Ven Besh told the Provost-General of the rumours circulating around the Freeguilds less loyal to the Council of the Forge, which claimed that the Ironweld masters of the city themselves were behind these disappearances, and that some sinister force related to these events could be lurking in the vast sewer and canal network of the city.Taking his agents and a select group of the most experienced of the Sappers, Grenspire, together with Josukai, ventured into the Southern Merecanal, an infamously derelict and abandoned branch of the city's sewers. Shortly after their investigation began, they knew something was wrong. The air smelled of wet fur and psychedelics. What they found farther in the tunnels, none would say. The only account given of the events was made by Grenspire himself, describing a vicious underground battlefield of grots and ratmen, along with the remains of Isabel Hernshire and her bodyguards, seemingly solving the mystery of the missing Councilor. How she ended up there, or what events led to it, none could say.
The formation of the 32nd Greywater Expeditionary Force was thus decreed by the Lord Audacious (of course, with some "persuasion" from the Provost-General), with their first stop being the canton of Grimshallow...
STATE OF THE ARMYNot much has changed since the last update, except for the assembly of some of the backlog. I'm aiming to get these painted up by the end of March at the latest.
Spoiler
Second Steam Tank fresh off the factory line. I'm thinking about more ways to show that on the mini (weld lines?). Also, I tried putting on the top panel reversed as it has a more industrial look, but haven't glued it since I'm still not sure if I like the look. Any ideas?
Spoiler
First of a trio of Helblasters/Helvolleys (hope to get the rest before the range refresh probably wipes them from the army). Left the cannon/rockets themselves unglued so I will be able to swap them. Crew will most likely be replaced with new ones once we get some new minis, and are thus relegated to practice mini status 😛
Spoiler
Last, but certainly not least, the Runelord for the War Machines! I've still yet to come up with a name for him.

They used to be, but I think we are past that era of the game. Dawnbringer Crusades seem to be happening just a few years after Broken Realms. Plus, they can always come up with some magical plot device that makes some humans have exceptionally long life spans.
Perhaps we may see some Soulbound (untethered from binding) as big name characters?
Or some other blessing from their gods? Or just really expensive Ghyranite life elixir?-

Timeline predictions y'all!
We know that 10th edition is on it's way and almost assuredly coming on June 24th. Multiple sources have hinted at this... including the UK Post Office. With that we have a pretty tight timeline leading up to that release and considering the next month + will be devoted to 40k releases. If the release is on the 24th it will have a minimum 2 week announcement period.
Assuming we're getting 7 new kits in total for Seraphon based off of what we can gleam from the plaques and emjois the Old One Whitefang has left us. If they do one a week and then announce an army box
The Seraphon Army box should be announced the 5th of March for pre-order with a release of March 18th 2023.
Products that still need to release -
Arks of Omen - Vashtorr
-Boxset Dark Angels vs. Vashtorr

-Boxset(?) with Farsight vs. Snikrot
Arks of Omen - The Lion
-Leonard Johnson release
Boxset Spacemarine missile launchers
Boarding Patrols

-New HoS mini
Battletome: Ossiarch Bone-Reapers

June 4th - 40k 10th two week pre-order announced. No new AoS or any other release until the wave of 40k stuff is done
June 24th - 40k 10th edition launch
Just some thoughts trying to plot out the rest of Winter/Spring releases.Although my heart still yearns for the days where a pre-Summer Cities release was thought to be feasible, this seems pretty much to be on point imo.

Also indicates that there is no big model release between now and Seraphon. If FEC get a sizable update like Whitefang suggested, then that means they are probably not among these 5 tomes. So the Death tomes would be OBR and Soulblight.
Didn't some webstore already update some of their pictures for Ossiarchs and Soulblight to the 3rd edition box ones? That would pretty much confirm it.

The fact we are already getting another Seraphon kit revealed makes me think there might be even more new kits than we thought
Or maybe another we are getting some Cities at Warhammer Fest 😛
But really, what other AoS stuff do they have for that? Seraphon are being revealed, and (afaik) all that's left for Spring are single-mini BTs.-

Also known as "Asbestress' mediocre Cities army project thread made solely to motivate her to actually finish something"
LORE
Greywater Fastness. The industrial heart of Sigmar's Empire. A smoke-wreathed city stretching from horizon to horizon. Amidst the Era of the Beast, it's expansion continues apace, while the tenuous peace made with the sylvaneth of Dreadwood strains ever closer to it's breaking point.
On the One Road, a new Dawbringer Crusade sets out, eager to found a new canton which, eventually, will be subsumed by the city itself.
I have some more stuff in terms of lore, but that will have to come with time.
Parts of the army
Not content on settling for one army to collect, this army will be made up of three different "sub-forces"32nd Greywater Expeditionary Force
Making up the bulk of the army (and the minis currently done), the Expeditionary Force consists of the Freeguild, Ironweld, Dispossessed and other forces of the Fastness. From Handgunners to Steam Tanks, almost all can be found here.
(Mainly Greywater coloured minis)Canton Devoted
Coming from the canton of Grimmshallow, the Canton Devoted are the religious arm of the Crusade. Ranging from Sigmarite Warrior Priests and their Flagellant throngs to the ill-trusted priests of Alarielle, the priests of many gods of Order can be found amongst them.
(Darker purples and golds/Greywater colours)Azyrite Inspectorate
Growing weary of the unstable situation in the Ghoul Mere, the 32nd Expeditionary Force is being accompanied by a cadre of Celestial Battlemages from Azyrheim, sent by the Lords of the Heavenfall themselves. Their duty is the ensure the peace is kept between the sylvaneth and the Crusade. Each Wing of the Expeditionary Force is accompanied by at least one Mage and their Celestial Hurricanum, who are themselves followed by contingents of Azyrheim Greatswords and, where deemed worthy, even Stormcast Eternals.
Fearing the Great Plan has become imperiled by the same dire situation in the area, the Inspectorate has been joined by several skinks of an unknown Starhost. Their current leader, a Skink Priest known only by the title of "Restorer of Harmony", has been rumoured to have been behind the death of several industrial magnates and even members of the Council of the Forge.
(Mainly "Azyrite colours", rich cyans and purples, with golden accents for Cities units, and "galaxy" style patterns on purple with cyan accents for Seraphon)
STATE OF THE ARMY
Right now I only have a few units and characters painted (see below), but I'm hoping to finish off my backlog (another Steam Tank, a Runelord, a Helstorm/Helblaster and a Xintil War-magi box), and complete my dream of a 3 Steam Tank squadron, and probably add some new Seraphon and a SC Greywater Fastness before the range refresh arrives (probably around mid-late Fall), so that I can actually begin getting some infantry and start building an actually sensible list.
As always, C&C is appreciated!
P.S.: Apologies for the bad photography, I aim to improve as this thread continues 😛

You might actually need to get used to it. 😁The Slave-1 is now officially called „Boba Fett‘s Ship“, looks like slave is a bad word in any context.
Waiting for the Expiration Star now. 😇
I mean, putting Boba Fett's Starship on the box of a toy doesn't really change the name of the ship in-universe (like putting Republic Fighter Tank instead of TX-130 Saber).
Also, new Troggoths is intriguing.
New Character/unit for Kruleboyz?
New faction?
New sub-faction for Orruk Wartribes?-

Real quick and dirty mock-up of my idea for it (based on it being similar-ish in base size to the Mortek Crawler).
Base decorations like crates of gunpowder and cannonballs, sandbags (they were used during sieges to protect advancing sappers) and other stuff like the 40k Heavy Ordnance Battery.
Spoiler
Maybe it could even have a (not enslaved and happily living in the city) ogor as a loader/pusher?
Edit: Also, the bombard from our gracious Whitefang's post is called Mons Meg, and is from the UK (Scotland, to be more precise.)-

Wait until you know the engine size... Maybe it's as big as a gargant and you'll end up with an SOB army disguised as big guns 😛
Infantry, cavalry, artillery, altars and weird and grimdark critters... We're definitely heading for a wide and varied release. The more time passes, the harder it is to wait !
My army is already mostly just Steam Tanks and Luminarks with some required Battleline Dispossessed and Handgunners, so I think they will fit just right in at any size.
And yeah, I really hope we start seeing at least some full mini renders during the Spring/Summer. The wait for Fall(?) is already killing me!-

The Rumour Thread
in Age of Sigmar Discussions
Posted
While I have to agree that this seems a bit too plausible and based on preexisting info, coming up with unit names like "Collegiate Arcanist", "Freeguild Steelguard Veterans" or "Freeguild High-Generaltor" requires basically the same amount of effort as just using generic names if we are talking about faking rumours.
