Dawnmane

Is it correct that we know part 3 of the Gathering Storm goes on preorder next week, but that we have zero hints at what comes the week after that? I think that's pretty exciting.

And the list of heroes I think it could possibly be: Fatemaster Warrior Priest (old one) Witch Hunter Gunmaster The Witch Hunter as Hanniver Toll from City of Secrets could be really, really cool.

could also one of the heroes from the Spire of Dawn set. Or Slambo. Oh God it's Slambo. (I'm heading for their web store to make a list now).

I was just about to post this! I'm not sure there's really any existing hero (with a base size that fits) they haven't done a hero card for yet, so it MUST be from a new release....right? Unless it's the Lord-Veritant - that would be great as I am looking for an excuse to buy and paint it.

I think what I love most about this, even though I don't think I'm going to buy the game, is that they're moving a ton of things around in the lore without connecting it to the release of new models or armies. They're using a low-cost approach that gives new narrative context to models people might already own. Everyone talks about how they're gonna phase out all the old stuff and so on and so on, but it looks like they're just having fun fitting the Old World into the Mortal Realms in creative ways. Still not going to buy the game, but I like where the lore is going.

New Rumour Engine!: https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/02/15/rumour-engine-february-15th-2017/ - some sort of Death scenery?

if it's legit, I really think it looks like a misstep for the WQ franchise. They could have spent the development time on a rulebook for incorporating all sorts of already existing miniatures into the game instead - no need to repack a bunch of miniatures. And the fact that these heroes already have rules for the original ST is a development decision i just cannot understand. A big part of the appeal of ST was the setting and the preview of things to come.

his write-up also says that it is compatible with the old ST - then why have a bunch of Acolytes in both boxes? I think I'll wait for something official.

Also: The text consistently misspells Hammerhal, which is usually a good sign of a leak being fake.

do we have any indication of how legit this is? Having 10 of an adversary group wouldn't make a lot of sense in regards to the way the Silver Tower version of the game works, and that looks like VERY little variety in enemies. Only 3 types and a boss? ST had 9.

I am glad to see I'm not alone in thinking that! It kinda looks like it belongs in another decade.

I hope it's from the same kit as this one, that would be so cool:

Which book is this?

It sure isn't. BUT the Vanguard wasn't on the front page either. Hopefully a leak will clarify soon enough. If the duardin are in there the poster probably can't help but reveal it.

A user on War of Sigmar just pointed out that this is probably the same creature hinted at with the picture of the striped tail in December. https://war-of-sigmar.herokuapp.com/bloggings/1592

oh, right. Thanks for clearing that up. I'm not a Stormcast player, but I have the Questor from the Silver Tower box (which, I can see now, has the crescent as well)

Is the crescent in the middle something anyone recognizes? Is it Aelven? Will we have gun-slinging Aelf flying cowboys?!

This week's Rumour Mill. It's got to be Stormcast or something like that with those letters engraved into the pistol, right? They remind me on the letters on the scrolls of Liberators, for example.
