Talhoffer would be proud.

My friends in Sigmar, For a while now, we have had a lot of hopium and copium about BS and BoC. This is understandable. Nobody likes losing their army or faction. Several of our reliable leakers have guided us to the conclusion that these factions would disappear. This sucks and my heart goes out to you. BS probably should have been cut at the start of 3.0. Kruelboyz seem to be the direction GW wanted to go in, but they didn't rip the band-aid off. BoC were hinted at "going away, but being back in a different way." Kragnos is the most logical rebirth. Two beastly factions in different grand alliances does not visually translate well. The Adepticon preview/interviews suggested the future of AOS is sprinkled across the Dawnbringers narrative in little crumbs. Kragnos is searching for his people. I suggest holding onto your armies a while longer. You may get lucky and have a new home for some of the units. We'll see.

Since Chorfs are coming this edition, I have a feeling the Skaven have accidentally revealed them. They did this with a gnawhole draining an ocean and revealing the existence of the Deepkin to Nagash. I also appreciate that the game is going to allow for more reactive play. It's going to be an interesting time this summer!

Meanwhile... The troll in me wants to cause Skaven-style chaos on Facebook with this "leak". https://youtu.be/zJbRURK3zWo?si=hZgOsQT7HZL3xmiS

I wonder if the new Skaven sigil is for a unified clan. Vince did storytime for Dawnbringers 5, and it sounded like the Skaven clans are being forced to work together to bring about the Master Plan. With rumors about GW stores having narrative campaigns leading into 4th edition, I can't help but wonder if we are getting a narrative arc AFTER Dawnbringers 6.

She did try to seduce Nagash... So there's that.

After Morathi took over Anvilgard, ascended to godhood at the permanent expense of Stormcast and was just an absolute menace, Sigmar started training his troops to kill her people. The Celestant Prime and Morathi almost came to blows at the end of Broken Realms.

Echt cool! Kann ich auch Französisch! I think in the Stormcast book, it talks about Malerion spying on their training in the Gladitorium and he "watches and prepares for the inevitable day the Pantheon fails." In Broken Realms, he and Morathi spoke, and Sigmar is SUPER pissed with her. The Stormcast were training to kill Daughters of Khaine. I think this is also when he hints at the future. I have no information, I'm just guessing at how lore could develop if GW follows the rules for writing of leading to the surprising, but inevitable conclusion.

There have been lore tidbits that he is planning to the day the Pantheon shatters. Maybe this edition is about fracturing Order into camps?

I have a feeling that the Ruination Chamber will lead to the Covenant Chamber. Did Sigmar lie about Azyr being secure, or even lied about the extent of issues with reforging? The Covenant Chamber might be a way of patching broken trust/promises. I personally hope Sigmar "lied" about Azyr being secure. That sounds more interesting to me.

I've read through a lot of chatter about 4th edition. We assumed we would be in Ulgu, but now it's sounding like Aqshy, but Dawnbringers is taking place in Ghyran as well. Do we think this might me a multi-realm edition? Ghur has barely played any role in the narrative. I do wonder if it even matters.

I had a German friend study abroad in college, and she wanted to take a day trip to the other end of our state to an island. I laughed and had to explain it was a long weekend trip at the very least. Other German kids wanted to drive to New York City, which is STATES away from us. Most Europeans don't get it, but I also don't blame them. They have amazing public transit and their countries are packed together like New England states.

Intelligence suggests this is the way. GW is not always intelligent. They have done duplicate reveals of the same thing before, if memory serves.

I've suspected this for a while. He spies on Sigmar's training of his troops and is plotting for when the Grand Alliance of Order breaks apart. I sometimes fear I won't live to see my boy get his day on the tabletop. Chorfs being solidly confirmed before him is a slap in the face to everyone who has been waiting since 2016 for his arrival.

I wouldn't rule out Votann. We have seen rumor engines for AOS that turned out to be for Squats.
