    None of which prevents my speculation from being possible. If they'd captured slaanesh before she reappeared you might have a point.

    So...Morathi is locked up with Slaanesh inside her, and they just never noticed the Morathi part? The hard truth is your speculation is one of the few things in setting that AREN'T possible.

    It doesn't make sens for simple reason, 

    Such faction would be folded into BT Death with new minis to support BT it doesn't make sense to release BT Death and then few months later to release new Death faction especially with BT having abilities,artefacts etc for mixed Death armies. 

    It makes perfect sense. Why would they be folded into Legions of Nagash, if they aren't technically a legion of Nagash, but an allied cohort? And even then, they had books for every grand alliance at one point and those are ALL being broken up into new books. The contents of legions of Nagash don't automatically discount a new faction the same way Grand Alliance: Order didn't stop Kharadron from coming out.

    Aelf Cult of Nagash ? 

    That would be quite bad :P

    I could see it. Morathi is probably pretty pissed at Slaanesh for...eating her and Nagash ALSO hates Slaanesh for stealing Aelven souls. I could see a mutually beneficial partnership there.

    Seems legit. There's no way a new account registered 3 days ago could tell lies on the internet

    There's another much more well known rumor monger saying the same thing on atia's site. You can see the screenshot in this thread actually.

    I'm not quite understanding of how the 2 new Aelf factions would have anything to do with the Realm of Shadows or Light.

    From the rumours I got the impression the aelves reside in the realm of death. 

    When they get to Malekith and Tyrion I would expect realms of shadow and light aelves

     

    Because the aelves live in the realms of light and shadows and have since the death of the old worlds? I'm not super up on my lore but I'm pretty sure we haven't had much in the way of aelf sightings outside of warhammer quest.

    It may be a coincidence but there seems to be alot of witch elves being painted and used lately.. 

    #justsaying ;)

    Which is a crying shame considering that kit is every single thing thing that was wrong with Kirby GW .

    60$ for 10 25mm models you need at least 60 of to be useful? Check.

    Dual kit to both trick people into thinking the price is more reasonable than it is while also forcing you to buy even MORE? Check.

    No options outside of musician/banner/Champion? Check.

    ONLY 5 DIFFERENT SCULPTS IN A 60 BOX OF 25 MM INFANTRY? Check.

     

    The only way it could be more Kirby is if it claimed it was a model model and not rules model and bragged about never doing any market research.

    Well the new site is online and from what I can tell it is mostly a narrative book they are releasing. Hopefully it also has a bit of impact on all the underdog armies with some new rules for matched play as well.

    I know we've been spoiled with the GHB so far but GW does NOT have a good record with releasing Matched play style content in supplement books. I'd rather they focus 100% on narrative than accidentally destroy the game like they did in 7th ed 40k.

    That autumn prince book shadespire is a pretty big thing as well IMO. Possibly a wood elves shadespire warband? 

    Also the extract seems to be Skaven battling them, so I'm quite confident to assume that Wood Elves will be the 2nd warband to go along with Skaven.

    They've already teased what the next 4 warbands are; Skaven, new khorne, new Stormcast, fyreslayers.

    GW sent us a survey near the beginning of the year asking how well the Battleforce boxes did and if we thought they should do something similar this year. But aside from that, there's been nothing on that front.

    Considering how ridiculously well they all sold (especially sylvaneth) I'd be surprised to see something similar not return. I mean...for a few weeks after they released even element games and frontline couldn't get 2 to rub together.

    Exactly, and with the models being so fragile the last thing you'd want is to snap your skeleton's stink-bone.

    Via Urban Dictionary; Stink Bone: The medical term used by white trash when referring to the pelvis. 

    You learn something new everyday.

    Ok, I'm with you. It was the coupling of the word "race" with "gender" that threw me - sounded like he was talking about actual races and genders, not made up ones...

    Technically you can tell gender too but...that seems like an excessive amount of effort for a 28mm model.

    Yeeess ***** finally!! I wonder if its gonna be like blight war but centered around death instead

    With this much lead up, it looks like it will be quite a bit bigger than Blightwar, especially since every GA is getting at least 1 new hero.

    The mobility and the mortal wound saves for your ships is hard to beat.

    I just really hate the color scheme.

    You don't actually have to paint them that color. The idea that your pretty outfit determines your rules on the table is asinine and has no place in warhammer of any variety.

    See, you say that, but I can tell you that when I got a box of five real Liberators (which is to say, with all the options instead of the starter kit dudes) it was a revelation. I'd be willing to bet a lot of people find the starter box dudes mildly underwhelming, but give them some grand weapons and that can change in a hurry! I think these releases are a great idea to draw Stormcast players into allied armies or vice versa. 

    It's not just that. Unless you spend a good 20-25 minutes sanding and greenstuffing, the starter set libbys are VISIBLY worse than the multiparters. Honestly was thinking of picking up that box and just tossing the old pushfits.

    Apparently £60 in the UK which is "only" $73 according to the price rumour link that was posted here?

     

    We actually have seen the prices in USD. Don't try to use conversion rates with GW. Also, Bloodletters didn't need to be cheaper, god I hate daemons.

    Don't forget that the Cauldron doubles as a Bloodwrack Shrine, which is also in faction and also rather affordably priced for the army.  Four of these boxes would get someone 40 Witch Elves/Sisters, 2 Cauldrons of Blood with Hag, 2 Bloodwrack Shrines with Medusa, 2 Hags on Foot and 2 Medusa on foot.  That is a fantastic start to this army and you'd only need to fill in with a couple boxes of Witches/Sisters, Warlocks, or allies to be set.

    See, you say that like that's not 460$ minimum when you can build a deathlords army for 100$ less and still have some skeletons and hexwraiths left over, or a full beastclaw army for less than half that, or fyreslayers for 100$ cheaper, or ironjawz for 50$ less.

     

    Don't get me wrong, it's great that they did the box, but if they could drop the 170$ Magmadroth+vulkites down to 85 then getting the Daughters box down to 70-80 shouldn't be unreasonable.

     

    As an aside, when I first saw the daughter box I went 'aw cool! I'd love to start that army! if it's like 40-50$ I'd totally buy it! And it should be right? The infantry should be like 35 and the shrine should be 50ish so with a decent discount...' then I looked up what those boxes actually cost and was full of sads.
