But it would not makes sense talkjing about new "mortal realms free people" and the just making kits straight out of the old world....i really hope they'll make some design differences..

My guess would be these units will go really well with Old World. Would explain a lot.
I honestly think they'll really go all out with the "macabre, zealous devotion to Sigmar", and make Empire but really over the top decorated and gribbly and cool and AoS-y with Greatgreatsword Wieldanetors and Ironweld Enginseerians and Freeguild Repentant Greathalberds and Cogforts.
And what if they bring back that Excelsior Warpriest? Will we get new Devoted? A Cogfort the size of a Baneblade? Combat Steam-Mechs? Actual modular, good city terrain? By Sigmarrrrrr! The possiblities are endless, and even most all the things I listed are already in the lore! Which they said will have a good impact on the development of the faction. Oh my, could we actually get a Cogfort? Freeguild Land-Trains (also in the lore)?
Did I mention the Cogfort?
I'm sorry, I'm literally drowning in my own hype. Sigmar end me if it's JUST Empire but updated.-

They said several times the focus would be very much on humans.
That sounds to me like a "brace yourselves, Dispossessed and Wanderers collectors."
I mean "focus being very much on humans" doesn't have to mean "there'll be no Duardin or Elves".
Best case scenario, what we already have stays/even gets updated.
Worst case scenario, the other races will be relegated to unit variety roles (e.g.: weapon/vehicle crews, mixed into mostly human units, etc.), and the already existing units get Legended-ed (can't say Squatted anymore, eh?)
Also, for me at least, this CoS revamp announcement is the biggest thing in this entire Warhammer Fest reveal week.
My favorite faction getting totally revamped? Sisters of Battle style? CAD renders look amazing already? I'm scared I won't even care about Horus Heresy by Saturday!-

Inspect Elemented the banner from the front-page, a bit easier to zoom in on it in browser. Definitely Sylvaneth and Skaven.

Some image analysis with colour coding 😛

Based on the fact that the "Horns of Hashut", "Chaos Legionnares" and "Centaurion Marshal" are all in the middle of Warcry bits, I think most of these will be for the Warcry reveals, with Sylvaneth and the Ogroid, Daemon Prince and Chosen/Foot Varanguard on Tuesday.

I really love what they are doing with the objectives and (hopefully) the new terrain.
From the looks of it, and the objectives' description, they seem to be based on Dawnbringer Crusade settlements, so basically work in progress buildings and repurposed ruins by the looks of it! -
Possible unit allocation in Starter Sets down the line I thought of while rewatching the stream.
Not really sure on Gutrippaz, as we didn't get a clear look at their sprue as far as I know..png.b9e8c9260728a2e0ef2ccf23bda61978.png)

Random question but, has anyone made any model scale comparisons to get an indication for how big/small the models are in the Dominion set? I’m curious if the Stormcast have gotten even taller or stayed the same, and I’m wondering how large the orruks are as well. Hobgrots seem potentially a little smaller than, if not the same size as, human scale models.
I made one a while ago for Reddit. Might try making one with the Kruleboyz later if someone else doesn't do it before me.

One thing I really hope they do is show the „smaller“ versions of the launch box as well. Leaving those out of the preview would disappoint many and stress out others who can‘t guarantee getting the limited box while stocks last.
On another note, I also hope the full Core Book is included in the set, like with Soul Wars.
Sadly I think they won't be shown. Either they will have their dedicated live show, be featured in one focusing on the new faction and SC, or revealed in an article.

What i'd like to know is about GHB2021. What do they do in a new edition year? It sounds like there are going to be widespread point changes, would they try to have it released around the same time as the new edition?
It'll probably be like what they did for 40k, so it should probably drop the same day as Dominion/the Core Book.

I can’t remember the last time I was this intrigued to see a new reveal!
On a related note, I'm actually really glad they are doing a reveal with substance.
Some of the recent previews have been a bit underwhelming, so I'm really excited that they are revealing the full contents of the box and, judging from "Join us as we unveil the whole box – there may even be a few extra surprises too.", I think it's safe to say that some "Starter set companion" kits (Easy to build, paint set, etc.), as I like to call them, will be revealed, and maybe the Battletomes for the new factions.
But hey, I'm just wishlisting here
I'm just glad we are seeing the whole box.

I am just now realising how weirdly "lucky" I have been with limited edition things.
(At least on the Rest of EU section of the site) I have been able to order or get to the product page of any limited thing I wanted to buy/look at how long it'll last.
My strategy is just getting on the site around 10 minutes before pre-orders go up (usually around 11 here), get the URL from the Australian section, changing the "AU" from the URL to "EU", and then start refreshing like a madlass.
Works every time XD-

They might have been making the decision on how many books one year ago, hm... One year ago, I wonder what event from a year ago we are probably seeing the consequences of in action.
OR, they just wanted one short story per day leading up to the preview, and decided to just reuse some art from the Realmgate Wars...

Anyone know if those 5 books are going to be in physical form? Or digital only?
Based on what is in the article, it seems to be digital only.

This Dominion box I keep hearing of -
Will it be available to the Everyday-Joe Collector like me? Or will it be advertised and hyped up by the GW gang with weeks of articles and preview events but make the production run limited?
I like the look of these Goblins if they look like the video, but I feel GW’d out as of late.
It will probably be like Indomitus (e.g.: it sells out in like 15 minutes)
IF they will make it Made to Order, I'm not sure. It is a possibility, and a highly probable one at that, but we'll have to wait.
Imo it will probably depend on how popular it is, so it will probably go Made to Order.-

The "mortals redesign" Discussion
in Age of Sigmar Discussions
Posted · Edited by Asbestress
A thing to keep in mind imo is that releases are almost always complete years in advance. E.g.: the newly teased World Eaters are probably already fully ready for production/already produced. The Castellan Crowe studio mini was painted around 5 years before release. Snazzgar Stinkmullett (the Malign Portents Gloomspite Shaman) was probably made together with the full range that released around a year after him.
This could mean that our best guess at the refresh's aesthetics could be the Ven Densts released last year, as, perhaps, they were done either as a "testing ground" for the redesign's style, or together with it, and released as "harbringers" before the 3rd edition, as they like to tease the "big releases" of upcoming editions in the book series (Malign Portents, Psychic Awakening (Squats!), Broken Realms), and the minis released alongside them (e.g.: Knight of Shrouds, Gloomspite Shaman, Kragnos, that Lord-Ordinator, etc.)
