I am not that fully sure we will see muskets again. It was pointed out that gunpowder is quite scarce. So maybe we are moving away from that as well.
We have some guns at least. Maybe if wave 2 has some Ironweld stuff we'll see more of them.

they probably just kept it generic in the meantime? it's hard to say; i once took those as a hint for the designs going forward but now it seems like the opposite. aka, (somewhat) generic human soldiery used as a stand-in because we have 0 clue what the next thing will look like and corporate won't let us see.
One of the Cities design articles mentioned that they worked on an aesthetic for Cities they was too "high concept" and that it looked like they came from "some place warm, like they had happy lives"
Maybe this conquistadore look is back from that phase of design?

I like how the only way you can tell that the Stormcast on the far right is a woman is the shape of the breastplate. And the fact that the Age of Sigmar community is cool enough to be completely fine with having female super soldiers.
I just realised all 3 Reclusian bodies are unique.
Why did they decide to pose the two regulars identically?

Let's join the two biggest order factions together! What could go wrong?
Full on "everything goes" soup would be pretty bloat-y and a nightmare to balance.
A less restricted way to include Cities units in SCE and Stormcast in CoS that isn't just the base Allies system, with thematic rules? Still interesting in terms of balance, but it would be pretty cool.

Yeah the april fools icon of Hel Crown @Ejecutor right
A warcry setting of a former Khorne bastion turn free city in the admist of Vermindoom would be a good setting. Check off all the mordheim vibes
If we get some of the surviving citizens trying to fight for their slowly crumbling city (on terrain based off that) to go with that, I'm a 100% in.
And any setting at this point will be better than Gnarlwood for the 1000th time

He has been wrong several times in the past. As far as I'm concerned, his "trusted sources" are none working at GW and it's basically guys on the internet using their brain and logic to predict what GW could release in the future. These "Old World rumors" really look like they were taken from a Total War Warhammer channel, honestly.
Enjoy his videos, sure, but never believe what he says - it's just entertainment. It's not because he's "right" a few times that he actually has reliable sources. People working at GW have better things to do than risking their job for a youtuber's need for views.I don't actually remember the last time he was 100% wrong about something.
Has he gotten details wrong? Yeah, absolutely, like the Black Templar Ancient.Straight up fake stuff? Only if we count the times he just lists of stuff he read online/states that he doesn't 100% trust his source.
Having watched the video, I'm pretty confident Cathay could be coming, although I might be a bit biased

I agree. Those attendants look like they walked out of the Ecclissarchy.
Imho they fit in perfectly with Cities humans, especially Zenestra's palanquin carriers. A bit more ornate, but that's fitting for Stormcast guidance counselors.

Uhh, 100% new Cities minis by technicality of sharing aesthetics and being human?!
These will be really good for Devoted stuff/alternate Steelhelm priests.

I do think the Darkoath box is slightly overpriced. The CoS box was £120. Equivalent to €155 boxes nowadays is £125. When CoS came out it was a limited edition battletome but for Darkoath it is just a supplement that isn't valid in a couple of months.
It has a bit more plastic than Cities though (mounted general vs on foot, big monster vs mage), so maybe it's that.

So after this small third O&G release, where does that leave Dwarfs? I've seen people say they'll be removed from CoS once CoS receive their battletome for 4th, so Dwarfs won't be released for 3-5 months?
CoS wave 2 won't be until at least early next year (and most likely around mid-late 4th unless we get any more hints as to when the COGFORT drops, still hoping for a short wait like Lumineth had between releases (less than a year)), but Dwarfs are 100% coming either this month or May.

Didn't even know these, uhh, beautiful Night Goblins existed.
Guess we won't be saying goodbye to the current Moonclan Grots for a while still.
Makes me kinda scared for Dispossessed, since TOW dwarfs use the plastic Ironbreakers/Longbeards/Runelord/Warden King kits.-

It's on the AoS index when you click the tab, here
You can see the "reveals" section scrolling downwards
I presume the unpaid intern didnt update it for the rest of the articles
Why is it even a separate element?
If they are going to paste the same footer into every AoS article they might as well have put it into a single one with a divider or something.
And the two parts use exactly the same template down to the class names.Bit off topic, but the inefficiency of this imho is pretty weird. Unless they only want the model reveals section in just the index article.
Anyway, how many legs do we think a new Cogfort could have?

The Paladins and "Custodes" are most likely separate, but regarding the two lightning-wranglers, hear me out;
Stormcast character/monster with human auxiliary aides/handlers?
Whitefang react?!
I really hope it's not just the Paladin bit...

Does that mean we're looking at (least) two different "paladin" style units? The units in the trailer looked plenty big as is, but then we also got Praetorians alongside Annihilators last time around.
Also, anyone care to speculate on the "Behemoth" Skaven model? A huuuge Moulder monster? A massive warp cannon? The biggest bell the Mortal Realms has seen so far? All of the above?

The Lord Vigilant on Gryph-Stalker?
Ah, our daily "Whitefang back me up tease".
Maybe the Lord-Vigilant watches over the others in the Ruination chamber in case their flaws start getting out of hand?

Warscroll anatomy/breakdown for 4.0. Like the list building there's a fair bit of meat on the article.
Well, at least the rules seem to be better than 40k 10th so far. At least I can still decypher these warscrolls

Why don't they mention the Cogfort?
The
THE COGFORT?
THE COGFORT????
Please let this be the next correct thing to add to your track record.
Also I'm just going to cherry-pick what I want from that and say that Dispossessed will stay 🥲

Early warning of what's going away in 4.0. It's official, Beasts of Chaos and Bonesplitters are off to the great Old World in the sky, at least for competitive play.
And so it is the end of an era of the beast
Really sorry for BoC and Bonesplitters fans.But also, why are Dispossessed staying? Are they too stubborn to leave before a new Battletome? Are we, cough, getting new Cities/Lumineth style duardin this edition?

Finally
Surprisingly decent. Feel like less chunky Annihilators, which is a good thing imo.

You forgot Silent People and Malerion always being right around the corner guys trust me I have an inside source at GW
There also some long term plans by me to add a Cities wave 2 that will totally have a Cogfort, a generic priest and new Dispossessed to that list if sufficient time passes. And also Warcry Flagellants. It's only a matter of a few timespans now.

Will this be the look of the new model?
Seems like the artwork is based off of a slightly de-hoboified TWW Grombrindal
Although there doesn't seem to be a single 1:1 perfect match for a design that's the same as on the new cover.
Really hope we get a Gotrek style mini for him.

Also, that's a cool looking Malleus coin:
The Emberg(u)ard in the article is just used as an example city name.
Nice to see that I won't miss out on a new Coin Malleus,. as it appears to be the same coin they gave away with Dominion in boxes of six.
