So I'm guessing Dawncaller Crusades is either going to be some kind of narrative supplement, or the Dawncaller Crusaders are a brand new human faction right?

Most likely, you can buy all the other warbands on their respective faction pages. Though they don't come with the cards for them (and are in grey plastic).

I'm guessing March is vampires, April is something orruky (Bonesplitterz?), May is obviously Ossiarch Boneyboys and June is probably Idoneth?

I'd love the CoS to get new sculpts, give them some Stormcast design cues to show they're an Azyrite faction. Make them kitbashable as well so people can add on realm allegiance stuff with other kits.

I don't remember her resurrection in the RGW books, maybe it was in the Sylvaneth battletome? I don't own it so that might be why I missed out on that bit of lore.

I had to read up on the lore of Kurnoth because I just sort of presumed he was still around normally, but yeah. I'd like Kurnoth to return though I don't know if Aenarion really fits the bill. I guess he was the Phoenix King and Alarielle is the Everqueen. But yeah having an excuse to expand the Kurnothi were good. Honestly they have a lot of directions to go for Slyvaneth - expand the Outcasts under Drycha, resurrect the Lady of Vines and expand the dryads or bring Kurnoth to prominence and add all the goat-aelves. That's three more expansions, about as much as the Lumineth are slated to have! Yeah, Order is taking a battering right now. I think Sigmar will have to respond to the threat of Morathi just to keep up his strength, whether it is sacking all her temples in the rest of the CoS or even one of her temple-cities. Whoever saved the Lord Veritant might be trying to stir up conflict between the two maybe? (And it has to be Malerion right? I swear the crimson eyes thing has been attributed to him before...)

I reread the Ritual passage and it doesn't seem like Aenarion escaped Slaanesh's stomach? Like he carves her in two and then Slaanesh's gurgles and spits out a protean being that chases after Morathi. Which seems more likely to be the Newborn than Aenarion right? Or is Aenarion the Newborn and he becomes an Ynnead equivalent?

I think, but could be wrong, Lileath's original intention was that Araloth would become the Asuryan of the new setting and his daughter with her the new Lileath. But that never made it through. It could well be he is the Ur-Phoenix now, or maybe instead of taking up the mantle of Asuryan he became Kurnoth. Or the plot thread was kind of forgotten and the writer of Hedonites of Slaanesh threw it a plot bone without getting into specifics.

The Slaanesh book reveals what happened to Araloth: the elves that did survive into the Mortal Realms were his descendants.

I think they've added already revealed the fate of Araloth's people. The Slaanesh battletome mentions the few untainted elves in the Mortal Realms were from some hidden sub-realm created by the old elven gods. But it would be cool nonetheless to have Brets back, even if it was just a way to style the Cities of Sigmar.

Ever since the first General's Handbook, or even the inception of AoS, GW has been trying to get people to play more narratively (and 'open play' I guess) and Crusade really looks like their biggest attempt. It was enough to make me even briefly consider collecting 40k again!

Well, I'd like them to cool it until 2022 at least. I can't imagine the Coronavirus has made it easy to test a new edition. And I'd prefer they do a lot of testing to make sure it's fine. I guess a simple one would be to revamp Path to Glory to match something like the Crusade system, also throw in Anvil of Apotheosis features into it. Maybe something like the War Cry quests as well. Given how they're going all in on Narrative focus, I think this is pretty likely. As for more rules based stuff, maybe for predatory endless spells instead of control being based off turn order, the caster owns the spell but the other side can cast a spell to take control of it? The idea of two wizards fighting for control over a purple sounds very Warhammer to me. Could also be if no wizard controls it for whatever reason, the spell goes wild and it alternates or just reverts to a simple set of actions governing it.

I mean, technically Hallowheart is part of Aqshy even if it apparently looks very much like something in the realm of Life!

I'm trying to find it, but I remember reading a reference to Pestigors recently that had them capitalized and everything. Which backs up this rumour hopefully. That said I hope they add AoS Poxwalkers. With all these new cities about, it seems like a great time for Nurgle to spread some of his gifts...

At the very least ard boys should be.
