WrathOfTheLion

They did 40k 10E at Adepticon last year, and HH the year before. So I think Adepticon is a solid guess for Age of Sigmar 4E.

Well I guess Rob was right. It is Monday and they are now out Definitely need to give the Skaven one a read. I have a battleforce box from a year or two ago that is waiting to be a Skaven force, although from a skim I don't see Stormfiends, so those may end up in some AoS Skaven later.

He might've just heard it at the Open Day, not sure. It's Honest Wargamer's WFB channel.

Rob from Square Based mentioned they should be coming out Monday, but we'll have to see. I don't know where he has that information from, but we don't exactly have to wait very long to see if it's correct.

I think there's new versions of everything there, at least on the Bretonnian side. It can be a pretty nice way to get an alternative sculpt though. I'll probably pick up a few of them, they do look pretty nice still, and may as well have some fun doing some older stuff.

There's some really fantastic army shots in those as well. I've been constantly referring to the Teclis book for their pretty awesome Zaitrec showcases in there.

River Temple Lumineth look fantastic, definitely picking that up. Skaven or Chaos Dwarves for this reveal are completely unrealistic, not sure why anyone would think they'd see them here. They're not going to release Chaos Dwarves/any new faction this late in the edition with 4E coming, and the 4E stuff won't be shown off until Adepticon if we follow 40k/etc.

Warcry doesn't normally do fully sculpted bases, and the cat is on one, so I think it'll end up being on the Underworlds side of things.

They do rebox sprues, although probably not to constitute a box set from singular kits. The GW store managers do have to unbox the frames and put them in envelopes for reboxing now, when they send kits back. So they do take those sprues back in at the warehouse, such as when reboxing to new box art or when a box set gets broken up and sent back.

I think Tyrion will end up being next edition sometime. I wouldn't be surprised to see it coincide with Malekithe in some way.

I'm glad to hear the PDF factions have effort put into them. I have a Skaven Christmas box from last year I think that will go to being an Old World army, if the rules aren't absolutely terrible. Which it sounds like they have attention to them, so they should be good enough. It's a bit sad to see they're not 'supported', but I suspect that's some sort of conflict with the mainline studio, which I think is where the source of it is. It used to be FW did the Imperial Armour/FW datasheets, then mainline takes them over, then mainline decides they're legends for use in 40k. So I suspect it's mainly driven from mainline's side, or possibly by someone higher up than either. As Square Based has mentioned, nobody has to listen to that 'statement', so events can just allow those armies if they want.

Definitely looks like an Eye of Horus on the standard in the rumor engine, so I'm thinking it'll end up being a FW model for 30k.

It's the bug's face on Belthanos' model.

I think the old Bretonnian knights will look a lot better if you swap in the arms and heads from the new foot knights, that should add a bit of dynamism to the older models. The new Ionus model is very nice for Stormcast. I think they mentioned he could be used in any Stormcast army, which would certainly be nice if you don't play Hammers of Sigmar.

I think they've been toying with this idea with Galletian Champions. Once I saw that characters could join units again in 10E, I could conclude that a similar change is likely on the AoS team's radar with the current season. As for other mechanics, USRs are fairly obvious. Certain mechanics, like 6s to hit become mortals, etc. are straightforward mechanics to be changed to a USR. OC as a stat also makes a lot of sense. AoS has the same issues/rules interactions that 40k had there, with Giants counting as <X> models on an objective, etc. Handling that in an OC stat would be a straightforward simplification.
