I kind of like the chicken-riders, but that paint job on the hero unit is somewhat lacking.

Hopefully the Vanguard Rangers are Battleline because I kind of want to have a Stormcast hunter force.

I don't think Judicators are getting replaced.  I'd expect these guys to be long range with some sort of move penalty.

Sorry I didn't mean to say they are getting replaced. Just this provides the explanation on why they're sold out on the GW store.

Stormcast Ballista?

Seems the release was bigger than expected.

That release gives hopes for a rerealease with new toys for older battletome armies (C'mon GW, new Ironjawz!).

That explains the sold out Judicators. 

Oh man I would love an expanded Ironjawz army, maybe some kind of ranged unit and another way of speeding them up so it isn't always Ironfist/Destruction Allegiance.

Different paint scheme I wager. Matches bottom right model - wing, bow, strap and cloth identically laid out

I would lean towards that as well. I guess the rumour engine was the Hallowed Knights version.

Taken from Twitter, guessing these are the Gryph-Chargers

There are similarities and the crossbow is the same, but the paint job is different. Maybe an alternative colour scheme or is this the Aether-Wing?

No no, on the release schedule for february, they mention "dwarf giants" and I think that's one of the blood bowl teams.

Aww. Well both things are apparently in the pipeline, good year for the stunties.

Wait say what about dwarf giants?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ages ago during the End Times there was a rumour about a giant chaos knight on a two-headed dragon (turns out it had three heads and was the big old Exalted Marshal of the Apocalypse himself), heavy orc boar riders with really dynamic poses (Gore-Gruntaz) and a giant dwarf golem.

Combine it with one of the older Rumour Engines and I think there is a strong case for a dwarf giant as the big centerpiece for the Steamhead Duardin when they come out.

Hopefully there will be a Tzeentch mortals box a couple of months down the line.

New Warhammer Quest is great though! I wonder if the Cogsmith is foreshadowing the Steamhead/Ironweld book that has been theorized.

I really hope that we don't get Chapter Tactics, but its the Grand Battalions for each stormhost like the cults in the Tzeentch book.  Chapter Tactics will be a huge mistake IMHO, grand battalions might make sense.

I'm surprised that that they didn't arrange it like Slyvaneth/Beastclaw/Bonesplittaz as well. I'm starting to get a little concerned about rules bloat.

If they had wanted to get rid of Slaanesh permanently, they'd have done so. Either during the End Times, or during the Age of Myth. No that hard to write it out if necessary. But Slaanesh is staying. There's a lot of stories with Slaanesh characters, keeps getting mentioned in the backgroud and has a lot of models that weren't phased out.

 

It's more likely that GW knew their own release schedule/model production. They saw that Slaanesh wasn't getting anything new for quite a while, so figured they'd make that into a plotline. Maybe not with a conscious plan or anything. Just an idea that "once we get around to doing Slaanesh again, we'll have a cool story hook".

I can see that. And a lot of the rumours for a Slaanesh removal are centered around how they're creepy-sexy and looking at the Yncarne makes me think GW is still OK with producing models like that.

Am I the only person who is noticing Stormcast Judicators are 'No Longer Available' on the website?

The Dragonfate Dais has been the same way for awhile. Hopefully they're just changing the box somehow.

So no new Aelves any time soon huh?...

I'm still holding out hope for a surprise Shadowkin announcement. But its looking like it will take awhile.

There are two human factions free guild and devoted of sigmar, free guild is the more open option. 

Anyway new image from facebook. PLEASE LET THE RUMOR IMAGE BE DEVOTED OF SIGMAR PLEASE!

 

This is true. I just like the name Order of Azyr ok!

Also I'm loving this drip feed of lore. Hammerhal sounds like it is going to be a central part of the second AoS arc, what with all the mentions it keeps on getting.

Problem is that the order of ayzr is a separate organisation made up of witch hunters only according to nick that's the name of the witch hunter order created by sigmar. The name devoted of sigmar encompasses a broader range you can easily tell hey here is an army of sigmarite zealots. The devoted of sigmar I guess is made up of difference organizations working together.  

True, I guess I was just presuming Devoted of Sigmar was going to become the new name for flagellants. I guess my concern is that Devoted just limits the army to Sigmarite zealots, whilst I kind of hope for a wider human faction.

[The Rumour Thread]

If they expanded the Devoted of Sigmar, I could see them being renamed as the Order of Azyr so it could encompass a broader range of units.

There's a plastic cat on Warhammer TV paint video.

And its on a cavalry base. Seems like the most recent rumour engine is the same model as the tail.
