Bit late (and I already made a prediction), but considering yesterday's
100% CitiesRumour Engine, I'm proposing a new release order for 4.0 (mostly based on currently unsolved REs):- SCE + Skaven (full big releases) (August-September)
- Nighthaunt (Alchemist ghost) (November-December)
- Idoneth (Character(s) / Mini wave (1-3 kits) + Endless Spells) (November-December)
- Gloomspite (Mini wave (3-5 kits)) (January-February)
- Cities (2nd Wave (6-8 kits)) (April-May)
*Size and date of Gloomspite and Cities releases interchangeable
Also based on 40k release order:
- Space Marines + Tyranids
- Necrons (Small mini wave (3 characters))
- Admech (Character)
- Dark Angels (2 Kits, 2 Characters, Upgrade Kit)
- Kroot (4 Kits, 4 Characters)

I'm not so sure... For an edition that's supposed to reign in the rend creep, every model in todays storm cast preview (and the chariot posted the other day) had a rend of at least 1, including the foot hero wizard!!
Rules do feel very much like 40K 10th edition. Though I wish they had kept the same terminology for similar things between games (like 6's to hit granting sustained hits or lethal hits).
At least to me it's kinda understandable for now. A 2-3 metre tall demigod in Sigmarite armour would probably hit hard enough to do some armour piercing even with a plastic fork

Don't forget they sometimes re-use CAD files ; )
Yeah, but would someone go into "AoS/Order/CoS/Refresh23/Gunline/Acc2/TotallyNotGalensTorch.CAD" to use it almost entirely unchanged for a non-Cities mini?

Seems a bit crude. More in line with the CoS humans' stuff.
The base of the metal cage is the exact same as the Fusilier's torch, and the cage is 100% Cities.
Not to celebrate too early, but

The little storm cast helper dudes dying on any 1 to save for the unit is brutal! Poor lil guys.
"Hi! I'm your great-great-great grandkid here to strengthen your link to your mortali---" gets beheaded by a Chaos warrior
Really good for the Stormcast's mental health

@Dragon-knight77 Just realised your game would have to wait a bit to be solved... 😅
Well, since we didn't get a roadmap, might as well make some guesses:
- Nighthaunt (Surgeon Character (from REs))
- Seraphon (Saurus Old Blood (RE) + Endless Spells?)
- Idoneth (Character(s) + Endless Spells? or mini wave (from REs))
- Tzeentch (Character(s) + terrain?)
- S2D (Character(s))
Would have put Warclans in here too but I'm still not sure what they are planning with them.
Also hoping we start getting Endless Spells and faction terrain again after the new focus on them in 4th.Also putting in my guess for a Cities release in late 2025, because why not.

So looking at the community page it looks like Genestealers and Ad-Mech are on the table for tomorrow.
Mechanicus for Heresy, Genestealers for Necromunda, the thing on the left for 40k? Or thing for Necromunda and GSC for 40k.

Great box, although the quantity of ruins is a bit disappointing.
Probably not gonna buy it, but most of these (especially the Reclusians and Lord-Terminos with their little squires) will make some great Stormcast auxiliaries for my Cities, if they get a reasonable separate release. Absolutely lovely models.
And the Lord-Veritant is sooo good! Blindfold is kinda weird, but otherwise probably my favourite mini revealed today (alongside the Gryph-stalker and this little crow dog).

DOOOOOOOOOONG!
Three hours now, and around 16 until I get to actually watch it. May all you non-existent ratmen see all the deranged Skryre tech and Grey Seers you want and need.

Our seer Whitefang laughed about Cathay rumors !
IIRC, they've said laugh means they are (most likely) "not sure" but kinda positive/we shouldn't be looking THAT much into their reactions.

If I remember my Necromunda lore correctly, the hive city is next to another abandon city that was taken over by GSG and they had to nuke that city. But recently that city still lives and are planning to invade Necromunda.

IIRC they also mentioned that they had plans to visit this location a few years back during an open day alongside the Ash Wastes.

Those that mean that Verdigris ends up being the city that survives ? Would be crazy if that’s the case.

Order
CoS - Flagellants, Character and Cogfort. (Would love a Duaradin and Aelve infantry and character kit in a CoS aesthetic and for the current Dwarf and DE kits to be removed/moved) I'd also like to see a light cavalry kit with similar design notes as the Wildcorp Hunters kit.
Seraphon - Sauras Guard and Character. New Skinks and Character (A new plastic version of the skink holding the sickle in one hand and a heart in the other). Big Brachiosaurus-style centerpiece model.
Sylvaneth - I know it is unlikely but I would love to see more "Wood Elf" style minis in AoS. I like Sylvaneth but I'm a sucker for Woodies, I want AoSied Legolas! Not just Treekin. A couple of units in a similar vein to other awesome Cursed City Kurnothi Character please!
For Cities, this would be a good start, but as it stands (and as Ejecutor has said) the AoS only range right now is pretty small (especially in terms of characters).
I've already made far too many wishlists, but one thing that I've recently found myself really wanting are more city ogors. Give me an infantry squad! Give me ogors carrying a platform with fusiliers (like the Chaos Warshrine crossed with the Fusil-Major's crow's nest)! I really love units that are "infantry, but big" (Eldar Wraithguard, Necropolis Stalkers) and finally seeing the Warhulk next to Steelhelms has me wanting more.

Conquistador freeguild
This one feels even more weird, because we have these Freeguild guard that look nothing like the minis, with the Hammerhal Aqsha transfer behind them that only appears on said minis.
Imho they were probably not given any proper Cities designs to work with (apart from Callis and Toll and city iconography) and probably just based these conquistadors on either earlier concept art or Callis (his equipment is kinda similar).

Cities won't be full walkers. There are several references to wheel-powered vehicles, but we also have Zenestra... so who knows.
Zenestra is just an extremist "maybe surviving god of death (not capital Death, that's Nagash)" that has an irrational hatred of wheels. And since the great cannon has wheels, I don't see why we couldn't get more wheeled (or even walking) vehicles.

@Asbestress Great job!
Do you by chance have the ability to do a side by side size comparison of the warhulk ogor to any existing ogors?
I know roughly the size but would love a side by side.
Sure. Not the best pic, but it should get the point across. Old one is around chest height of the Warhulk.

A month (ouch) after completing the Fusil-Major, here's the Warhulk.
I'll probably do some more touch-ups (ogor teeth, text on scrolls?) with my next batch of Steelhelms.

Another price hike is really pushing it now. I'll be holding off on growing my Cities backlog (apart from a Spearhead when I'm done with what I have) until we maybe get a christmas Battleforce and/or new army set.
But on the topic of Cities, I've been reading Lexicanum maybe a bit too much, and have come up with another wishlist.
SpoilerSlightly more „realistic” / informed Cities wave 2 wishlist:
Leaders
- Bombardier-Major / Fusil-Major on foot
- Freeguild Sub-Marshal / Captain
- Freeguild Marshal on Griffon / other big creature
- Devoted Priest
- Mage
Units
- Freeguild Knights (heavy infantry)
- Flagellants
- Ogor Warhulks (unit of 3-5 ogor infantry)
- Wildercorps Outriders (scout/crossbow cavalry)
-
Steam-Wagon with crew options
- Wildercorps Arbalesters
- Fusiliers
- Fusil-Major / Bombardier-Major
Behemoths
- Cogfort
Explanation
Spoiler- Bombardier Major: mentioned in Dawnbringers
- Sub-Marshal: mentioned in Dawnbringers
- Freeguild Marshal on Griffon: Fantasy Empire kit that stuck around
- Devoted Priest: Devoted still only have Zenestra and Flagellants (and now an Underworlds band)
- Mage: Empire Battlemage kit is still around (maybe Hurricanum/Luminark replacement with Steam-Wagon/Cogfort options?)
- Freeguild Knights: Arch-Knights have to come from somewhere/filling in a gap in specializations
- Flagellants: Fantasy Empire kit that stuck around
- Ogor Warhulks: Fusil-Major descriptions give me the vibe that a Warhulk is a separate type of thing and not only a mount option
- Wildercorps Outriders: filling in a gap in specializations
- Steam-Wagon: mentioned in Dawnbringers and Warcry Wildercorps background as being extremely common military vehicles
- Cogfort: Whitefang back me up
Wave 2 is dead and I'm killing it.

I am sure about something. Lore was the last thing, which feels super weird as for me it has to be the first step.
But it could just be my head playing Tzentchian games with me.I'd say it's:
General faction/subfaction lore/concept art based on lore and vice versa -> Models -> Model/unit lore -> Rules

I think Temple Guard would be much better for the line than a single foot hero. Let's hope....
Hey! I need that for Cogfort fuel for Cities wave 2!

This reminds me of something I saw recently. It wuldn't surprise me if it is something small, like this:
Remembered this because it was in the background of today's armies on parade Warcom post.
Does someone have the source for this? I'd kill for more images. -

If you talk about a Mordheimized setting for Warcry 3rd edition in summer 2025, well I don't see it either. We already have "ruined city" theme in Warcry 1 (and a whole range). They tried the whole Old-Worldy style with Cursed City (it was quite nice for sure). And, again, now they are differenciating their IP's.
Warcry 1 was more like old Age of Myth Allpoints ruins, while a theoretical ruined city setting for Warcry 3 would more likely be based on a (relatively) newly established City of Sigmar, maybe sharing design elements with the current Dawnbringer terrain and Cities army.
-
OHH, I really like these. The helmets and shields finally bring back that bit of greek/roman god feel that I really love in Stormcast. Might use some of the heads for allied Tempest Lords Reclusians if we get fully enclosed variants.
And, at least I know what basing extras I'll give to my centrepiece Cities units
Really hope the scenery in the box will also be ruined 3rd edition Dawnbringer structures. Maybe I'll finally have enough structures to make a competent besieged city table
