Funnily enough, for me its the complete opposite. The new stormcast feel extremely generic, bog standard dark fantasy to me. While they are new, I feel like I have seen them twenty times before.
Well, you can say that from every Stormcast or Space Marine.

I have to say, I'm absolutely blown away by the glow up the Lord-Veritant got. It went from one of the most generic and forgettable models in the range to an incredible, haunting execution of the "witch hunter Stormcast" concept.
There are a lot of great models in the box, but I think that one's my favourite.
It is also curious that she is part of the Ruination. Did Veritants die that many times pursuing the chaotic taint?

Blades of Khorne are also up there between the Slaanesh and Ossiarch sets.
Also funnily they did the same type I always do with Slaanesh and called it Slannesh here so if even GW can't remember how its written its fine if I don't right? 😁
Lol. True. I am blind. That's even better, it reduces the list into one more feasible roadmap for the early 4th edition.

start to think about what center piece will be when new tome come out for Skaven and SCE
1. Lord-commander from Hallowed Knight?
2.thunderstrike celestant prime? (maybe not, old model exist...Celestant Prime won't be renewed. Otherwise it would have been in THE LIST.

Isn't the silver tower Questor still going to be around? I thought this one is replacing this questor?
The Veritant is possibly one the best model of the reveals with only the Terminos beating it just for the helm (just personal preference). It definitely the best sculted with the Sigmar-reaper shield, flaming sword, the hellhound skull pauldrons
Don't know if this was discuss and/or confirmed but the Ratling warp blaster is not the Ratling gunner replacement? It the new artillery that SG warhound mention separate from the weapon team complete reamake?
Yeah. I think it is the new artillery.

Btw, I don't know if someone pointed it out yet, but there's a new banner on twitter's acount
Soon will be uploaded to the resources site: Resources - Retailers' Network (games-workshop.com)
An interesting note, I was looking at it in case it was ready to be downloaded and I found out they have over there pics of 12 Spearheads!
They are:
- DOK.
- SOB.
- KO.
- Nurgle.
- Silvaneth.
- HoS.
- Khorne.
- OBR.
- SG.
- GG.
- Ogors.
- ID.
If we sum up to that those that we know already have one (SCE, Skavens, CoS and FEC) we have 16 factions and we can have a pretty solid idea of the early released factions for 4th, maybe?
So:
- FS.
- LRL.
- Seraphon.
- Nightaunt.
- Tzeentch.
- S2D.
- Warclans.-

It's kind of a bummer reading some of these comments simply because my own hype is pretty much through the roof. It's early days still but I'm starting to think this might become my favourite box GW have ever made. Let me explain my feelings about this.
Firstly the models. The Stormcast side is spectacular. I've always loved the art of Stormcast with human priests or servants accompanying them, so the memorians is a massive win for me. There's a lot of talk about grimdark but what we can really see in these models is character. There's something about a model carrying a sword and a torch that just speaks to me. I loved the old silver tower model but the new version is a much better representation of a lone hero exploring ancient ruins looking for treasure or heading into the depths of a Skaven infested ruin.
The blind Veritant with her guide wolf is just an awesome concept. And a truth seeker being blindfolded is surely a reference to Lady Justice.
The executioner who is also a mercy killer is pretty dark but somehow still comes across as a compassionate version of a commisar.
The lord vigilant is an improved version of the second edition model that doesn't have the massive unsculpted section that rather ruined that model.
The liberators we've talked about before. The only heads I actually dislike is the leader. There's something about the plume that is odd. Fortunately there are plenty of awesome looking bare heads in the set.
The more I see of the prosecutors, the more I like them. The have real presence. Even in the poorly videoed live stream, they stood out.
Now for the Skaven side. The big debate seems to be about the clan rats. I was definitely on the side of hoping for 20 clan rats and 10 stormvermin but seeing the full clan rat kit has changed my mind somewhat. Firstly there are two completely different command squads and most importantly two completely different banners. This is a bit of a pet peeve of mine. The steelhelms only have one banner for each unit and they really stand out in a bad way. The Skaven box is much better. It looks like you can build 20 regular clan rats with six of the models having options to turn them into command models. That makes for a total of 26 different poses which isn't bad. The rats themselves are full of character with some obviously having visual nods to particular clans. The comment Sergie made in the video about the different heights if models representing the way a horde of rats move really does come across.
Finally some rat Ogors that live up to my imagination. Just an awesome kit and I'm really curious to see the customisation that was mentioned. I'm guessing head and weapon options?? The jezzails are a great update and I love the option for the double barrelled gun.
Tubes, pipes, gears and dials. A ramshackle collection of advanced but poorly made tech, pushed along by Skaven because that's easier than building an engine. The ratling warpblaster pushes all my buttons. Very excited to see more Skyre tech in the future.
We've already talked about the engineer. It's a cool sculpt but I think I prefer the wackier look of the leaked one.
As others have said the grey seer is a fantastic concept perfected. Just a great sculpt all round and the tactical bell is a fun addition.
Finally we have the warlord. I understand that some people were hoping for a bulkier beast but the emaciated frame with the fur hanging off is just horrific in the best way. It sells the horror of the faction really well. It also makes a nice contrast with the well armoured and equipped rider. I love both the weapons. The gun loaned from Skyre that looks more advanced than any cities weaponry and the warpstore blade on the glove looks suitably nasty.
I'll save the rest of the box for another post as this is getting long but in terms of minis, this box is a very solid win. The only thing dislike is a single helmet which is easily changeable. Compared to Dominion (not a fan of the hobgrots especially the helmets) , Soul wars (a great box let down by odd unit sizes and too many repeated sculpts) and First edition (don't like the bloodreavers or the khorgorath) it's definitely my favourite set so far.
You can like it or not. That's subjective, but one thing is clear. GW launches box after launch box always trying to improve. Both in the sculpts and variety, and the number of minis.

I don't think Victrix does the production inhouse, but they definitively do their manufacturing in Great Britain as on the their plastic set headers is a big flag Union Jack flag with Made in Great Britian on.
About prices: It's 43,95 euro (without discount) for 36 mini's of this quality and variety. The only thing that is stopping GW to make huge plastic sets with 30-40 mini's(new State troops, Gors and ...) for 50 euro is greed. Those Victrix mini's have a lot more customization than i.e CoS Steelhelms. I own i.e the Steelhems and lots of Victrix sets. For the same price as those early Saxons, I get 10 steelhelms with very limited customization options.
Precisely looking at your example I don't think Steelhelms are less customisable than those, but I get your point. Steelhelms is probably one of the most customisable kits they've released recently, and both can be mixed in the same way. Heads, hands, shield... even with Steelhelms you can customise more the body. I think they can charge more for two reasons. 1: Their IP placement, and 2: Their sculpts is ages above the Victrix one.

We moved from Era of into Hour of.

So it is just one sprue of terrain:
Do you expect more terrain on the Start Here boxes? They tend to go a bit bigger than that for the scenery, and it should be AoS focused rather than Spearhead focused. -

Noticed Blades of Khorne and Maggotkin of Nurgle Vanguards missing from the store. The next armies in for an update with a new Spearhead box?
What other armies boxes are missing from the store?
Or maybe the other way around. The ones getting a new packaging as they are the ones that will be waiting longer to get a replacement.

With the clan rats being just 2 parts minis, how many sprues do we expect for the 20 of them? Maybe 2?

Some tidbits about the ruination seems to imply there's more.
Other than "thunderstrike paladins" what could we expect for the stormcasts other than the box new minis?
Skaven seems already known by the rumor already posted and proved "right" about what's to come but i feel difficult to imagine what stormcasts could get ?
Considering the various squatting of their ranges other than thunderstrike old units i can't see much.
Hoping for some "extreme" ideas for "un-reforgable" stormcasts like lightning geists\dreddy styled golems.Judicators for sure. Maybe a replacement for Paladins. I think with that all/ most of the removed stuff from 1st editions is covered. So the rest will be new stuff.

3 hours sleep to watch the Preview. 100% WORTH IT

Models : I did NOT expect that much models in the box. Every one of them is great. If it is 160£ / 210 euros indeed, I'll get it no problemo (including 3 books and a mat!) :
- For Stormcast, the mix between new (Lord-Terminos and Mortisans), upgraded (Knight-Questor) and/or ruination-ized (Lord-Vertitant and Gryph-crow) units is very well done.
- Didn't think it was possible to have a cooler Skaven Starer Set than Island of Blood. Yet the Studio did it.
- Too bad for the 1. ruined and 2. skavenized scenery not being intact Azyrite buildings, but it's still cool looking and thematic while not taking too much space in the box.
-
Lore : the expandable map of the Realms is really nice (even if I prefer the Star Charts design of AOS2). Having the points of view of Mortals to present the Realms is a great idea, I guess inspired from the quite flavorful WHQ : Shadow Over Hammerhal booklet (cf. also the recent Callis and Toll video) :
- Speaking of little details, the inside of the Dawnbringers walls bears small nods to its inhabitant like the door keys or a jar. Very nice.
A few precisions : SoB having a 3 Mancrushers Spearhead is great. The old Lord-Veritant had a 40mm base Gryph-hound (only the Lord-Imperatant has a 32mm one and the Excelsior Warpriest from Silver Tower a 25mm one), so 1:1 proxy is 100% possible. Looking forward for the faction focus and more Dawnbringer stories next week ! (While waiting for a roadmap and more informations on the future SCE and Skaven ranges updates).
One last cool things about Skaventide : the few options on the models. Clanrats have different commands, apparently Rat Ogors have variants, and in the 35min Mortal realms reforged video between 29:37-30:08 you can see the Stormcast in traditional HAMMERS OF SIGMARS colors with a bar head option on the Lord-Vigilant
3 Books? Which one is the 3rd Book? Core, Fire and Jade, and?

Btw, what is the consensus? Do we follow here tomorrows' preview (30 and 40k) just because it is a preview and could solve REs?
Yay or nay? -

The Goonhammer Spearhead article indicates there are rules for a Sons of Behemat Spearhead (it's 3 Mancrushers!).
Yeah. This was mentioned earlier in one of the #NewAoS posts.

They say in the article there are 25 spearheads : “ You get the 144-page hardback Spearhead: Fire and Jade book, which contains the rules for 25 separate Spearhead boxes“
Boc vanguard/spearhead is no longer available/sold out .
Sons of Behemat has not currently a vanguard/spearhead
Stormcast and Orruk warclans have already one .
SoB Spearhead is the box with the 3 small giants.

Yeah. The formatting has seen some improvements (Having more images on screen whilst the designers talk) but the presentation still feels very stilted and corporate. I know they want to spread out their hype and marketing, but I can't help but feel like the entire show would have been so much more impactful if it had started with the Cinematic for the first time, and then led into a full reveal of the box.
The sitting on the sofa format just feels off.
Tomorrow's preview will also be a recorded one? I don't think so. I think it will be a good ol preview.

@Dragon-knight77 Just realised your game would have to wait a bit to be solved... 😅
