Now i want a Mega gargant assassin ...
With the same pose on a small pillar as the Skaven Deathmaster owwwiii
Completely unrelated apart from Gargants, but I'd KILL to see a Mason-Gargant mini.
Of course, I'm not expecting it to be a part of the CoS range refresh, but I can dream, damn it!Perhaps I'll convert one... Oh... yes...

Let me understand the new Underworlds band for AoS:
SO, dogs with 2 wounds, save 3+ and ward of 5+ and a crossbow that hit like a KO canon. WOW
Also, brand new "Order of Azyr" keyword that will probably be absolutely useless until we get the range refresh (hopefully) next year.

Getting a bit off the "cod" topic
I like where they are going with this (this should have been in my first comment today but I kinda got caught up in the excitement.)
It seems, based on these, the Ven Densts and now Hexbane's Hunters, that they are aiming to keep the roots of the Empire aesthetic, but make it a little tiny bit more practical (not AS puffy sleeves for example), and move the inspiration timeline forward from 16th-17th century Europe to something more akin to 1900s Britain (which is basically Empire x not-quite-Kharadron-levels of Steampunk awesomeness). Also, more armour/advanced weaponry, but that would be agiven for the Mortal Realms I reckon.
It seems I have been both blessed and cursed by Whitefang.
May have gone a bit overboard on my steampunky speculation...-

Perhaps even a picture of a comet with an S on it.
Although enough time might have passed for them to show us a Freeguild Handgunner or something. The new art of that Greywater gunner makes me hopeful. It's a cool look that is recognizably derived from the old empire aesthetic while still being a new thing. If the new Freeguild ends up with a modernized appearance while keeping some iconic design cues such as puffy sleeves, huge hats, ridiculous mustaches and giant codpieces, I will be happy.
Puffy sleevey, huge hat-ed, ridiculously mustachioed Freeguild Handgunner sounds good, but I think I would be just fine if they decided not to have giant codpieces 😛
But just in case, I'm keeping my optimism low for this one, they might just reveal some Lumineth and Tzeentch Battletomes and be done with it... -
Oh, those are nice!
I only hope that the more armoured designs are reserved for more elite units, like Greatswords, and regular soldiery, like Freeguild Guard and Handgunners look more like the Greywater art.
Also, does anyone have any hopes for Nova?
Perhaps a new skull render?-

At last, could we finally be seeing a new snippet of the Cities update?
A few new renders, or even a single mini would be mighty exciting!-

I haven't seen any reason to believe this crusade is inclusive in different species.
I mean, we haven't seen anything to the contrary either.
They even gave a lukewarm answer during the original reveal that there may be other races. -
Still nothing new regarding the army update, but by taking Hexbane's Hunters as a Crimson Court (which was a Soulblight warband released before the Battletome, and shared a lot of visual similarities with the new range), then I think this kit, alongside the Ven Densts, is probably our best guess what the new range will hopefully look like (or at least the Order of Azyr part of it 😛).
I think this fits the bill of being new and AoS-y, while still carrying that WHFB Empire vibe just a tiny bit. Now to see if we get more steampunk-y...
Hopefully we'll get some sort of update on the range refresh during the summer.
Edit: more clarification

What makes you think that? 1st ed. was 2015, 2nd was 2018 and 3rd was 2021. Without evidence to the contrary, I'd assume 4th will be 2024.
I just assumed that we'll get The Old World next year, 40k 10th Edition in 2024, and AoS 4th Edition in 2025, because new AoS editions have always come after 40k editions, and I don't think they'd release TOW alongside 40k 10th Ed. in the same year. (This is also assuming that we'll finally begin to get some more previews for TOW, and that the estimated 3-4 year timescale for release from the initial reveal (2019) is still relevant for it)

Could they be the 4th edition starter army?
I could see them buying time and then hitting against the Dawnbringers/stormcast
What a wonderful thing to imagine lol
4th Edition is still at least 3 years away. I think it's a bit early to start speculating about it, considering that we'll probably be getting the first wave of Dawnbringers early-mid next year (revealed in the same way as World Eaters, who are pretty much confirmed to be coming around end of 2022 early 2023)
-
Made a bit of a recap of what we know so far. I have taken our holy harbringer Whitefang's word as gospel, just because they have been quite reliable thus far.

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.)-

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..
4 minutes ago, RyantheFett said:The focus of the humans also seems wierd since a big draw to cities is having all that diversity.
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 😛
Edit: Correction-

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.

Another look at some of the new terrain
Ohh!
That statue and construction equipment I like!-

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'd agree if it wasn't for the CoS range refresh. They like to tease things in "edition closing books" (e.g.: Votann in Psychic Awakening) that are coming in the future, so I think it's more likely that the Ven Densts were the teaser for the range refresh.
