So shed loads of Tzeentch stuff is still coming but it's not going to dominate 2016 as much as we thought. If it's all a way off still, it could explain why the Lord of Change has gone quiet in the rumours. It could be well into 2017 before we see that one.

I thought we were nailed on for a release this year but it seems to be fading more and more from the rumours.

Never mind the Keeper of Secrets, where is the Lord of Change?

Sounds like a plan @Dangermouse425. I'll get some done later in the week, if/when I get time. Feel free to post some in the meantime if you get an opportunity first.

Almost certainly. I think the debate over which high elf factions will be expanded may be pointless. It's new aelfs a-go-go.

Yep. Almost certainly a dual kit. It'd be interesting if one build had the Sylvaneth keyword and the other had the Wanderer keyword.

Those tree aelfs look great! Looks like they're going all the way with sylvaneth aelfs being feral/nasty.

I love that table. Where is the gaming mat from?

Oh, I know. I just want stuff for me. ?

I get that. I'd just rather be able to buy £20 worth of minis than have to buy £10 worth twice by spliting two sets with a friend. I suppose the more entry points, the better though.

Not a big fan of the idea of mixed boxes. What are the chances it'll be two armies you collect? At least there'll be a glut on eBay.

Weird thing about beastmen in AoS. You'd expect them to play as a brutal, mindless charge across the battlefield, and they sort of do. Only, there's so many buffs to keep track of they're one of the more complex AoS forces I'm yet to play.

Can't wait to join the tournament scene. Gutted I'm missing all of these events. Gotta get painting!

As requested, here's a pinned list of all of all abilities which effect the keyword Order. In other words, the abilities which aren't faction dependant but can be used across all of Grand Alliance Order. Alarielle Boon of Life Archmage Shield of Saphery Archmage on Dragon Drain Magic Battlemage Light of Battle : Immune To Battleshock within 18”; +1 Bravery to units within 6” of target unit. Cast on a 4 so easy to get off. Wyldform: Unit within 18” +1 to Wound. Obvious usage though I’ve never had cause to choose this lore with SE mostly wounding on 3’s. Cast on a 6+. Lifebloom: Unit within 18” heals D3 wounds and gains +6 ward. Never used it, obvious usage. Cast on a 5+. Beastmaster on Manticore Spiteful dominance (keyword- MONSTER) Celestial Hurricanum Portents of Battle: +1 to hit bubble Excelsior Warpriest Light of Sigmar Gryph Hound Warning Cry: Friendly Units with D6 can make a shooting attack against teleporting/tunnelling/parachuting enemies arriving with 10” of said hound. Useful deterrent against other SE and tunnelling Warlocks, though unlikely to need applying to other Order forces due to Judicator spam. Knight Azyros Illuminator of the lost: Rerolls 1 to Hit for shooting against enemies within 10” of him. Always handy with Judicators around though would be useful as a laser guide for gunlines. Move 12” means he’s likely getting there… hopefully long enough to open his little lattern. More fun against Chaos where he can be teleported for D3+D6 MW against units 6/8” away. Loremaster of Hoeth Hand of Glory Lord Kroak Impeccable Foresight Luminark of Hysh Aura of Protection Protectors Storm shield Sisters of the Thorn Shield of Thorns: Unit within 18”reroll failed saves. Cast on 6+. In addition successful close combat save rolls of 6+ dish out 1 MW each. Obviously useful for teleporting Retributors or Dracothians either with natural or buffed saves. Low rend opponents are not going to want anything to do with this, and will likely resist piling in for fear of damage. Pretty nasty when combo-ed with a Castellants Bathing Light. Skink Starseer Curse of Fates: Alter a single dice by +/- 1 in each phase. Sounds pretty crappy on first read but I’ve cast it on teleporting Retributors with good effect. Never get stuck on Mystic Terrain. Never fail the 3” charge, 5 to 6 to hit? 2MW. Bounce off that 1 enemy hit, save that one 3W dude from hightailing it.. It’s actually rather good and at its maximum it’s effecting 18 dice rolls. Cosmic Herald: Start of turn put a dice under a cup and unless your opponent guesses the number you get that many rerolls before your next Hero Phase. If they guess – they get the rerolls. This is simply amazing – especially in early game when you have a rigid mechanic that HAS to work (like summoning a Bastiladon). Always choose a 6 because opponents never think you’re ballsy enough (first turn they always say 4 or 5). They always never say 3 either, so if you don’t need to be greedy on turn 1 this is a good option. This has so many fantastic uses you don’t need me to spell it out to you. Not bad for a 2/8 pool choice Wizard. Stardrakes Arcane Lineage (keyword- WIZARD) Volkmar the Grim Battle Prayers Formations Fyreslayers Forge Brethren: +1 to save rolls on any unit within 15'' of Auric Hearthguard

Yep. After how good the new aelfs look, I can't wait to see some duardin. However, even though I've been a dwarf player for many years, my wallet might have to wait for Tzeentch.

Khorne is for kids.
