    If this is what they have in mind as Nurgle release, i am ****** mad.

    No mortals, no battletome, no allegiance? Are u joking?

    Patience, my friend, patience...

    Nurgle is definitely getting a Battletome - this preview combined with the fact that they don't have any section in the GH17 confirms it.

    And, in typical GW fashion, when they release a teaser, they don't show all the good stuff... this Horticulus might actually be the daemon on a slug shown in the preview, or could be an additional character... But if GW is making this a focal point of their AoS marketing / story, you can be pretty sure that they will be including new models to make sure that they can maximize their sales  - I would expect a similar approach to their Tzeentch launch

    SCE & Nurgle characters?

    Let's hope. There is definitely a new Stormcast hero - the model at 0:38 is new and seems to be female, as noted  before. She has no helmet, seems to have the Stormcast Halo reserved to heroes, and she appears on the painting at the end (on the painting it would also appear that she is female).

    Can't wait to see the Battletome and hopefully a bunch of new Nurgle models - a few units and a few heroes?

    Oh yeah, but it just hit me that we should expect one soon. No better time to do it than witha rules update 

    Indeed, it would make sense fro GW to release both the GH17 and FAQ at the same time, and make sure that one doesn't contradict the other.

    If they do show stormcasts at gencon I will swim all the way through the ocean, find a man responsible and put a stardrake in his ass. 

    Made me laugh out loud in the office - if there was a post of the day, yours would get my vote :P

    We need a giant vanguard turkey , stardrake style.
     

    Indeed we do - I am actually looking into converting a General on Griffon to put a Stormcast on top (with the Allies rules, that would work - and from a narrative standpoint, how cool would it be to have 3 different sizes of turkeys running around?)

     

    I think we all want other factions to get some love (aelfs, Nurgle and Death, amongst others...), but I am not against getting a few poster boy models in between...

    Ben Johnson confirmed on Twitter that some Stormcast Eternals will have point adjustments in GH17. 

    I'm sure it will be for the best, but I am a bit surprised given the recent release of the new Stormcast battletome.

    i wonder which unit(s) will see their points changed...

    I am really looking forward to seeing the Skirmish rules.

    I am not bothered about new models not being released; but as @someone2040 said, it would have been a great opportunity for GW to offer value pack of less popular factions. The Shadespire model packs should also work as good Skrimish packs.

    I am really excited about the 4x4 mat and will most probably be getting it.

    I actually suspect that we are going to have a core rules update as well.  The indicator of this (to me) is actually the battletome dropping this week:  The Kharadron Overlords battletome does not have the four pages of core rules that every AOS product and resource has had over the past two years.  I suspect that this product is the last one to roll out before the new core rules.  I don't suspect they will be very much (if any longer) than the current core ruleset, but they will likely clear up things that the FAQ has had to and possibly integrate aspects of the past (or what we thought were future rules of 1) into the core rules.  I wouldn't be surprised if this is where we see that same named abilities no longer stack.  This is my hunch. 

    makes sense...

    For what it's worth, the "Big News Tomorrow" announcement was posted directly on the Warhammer TV and Warhammer Age of Sigmar Facebook pages; Warhammer 40k only shared the link...

    This would seem to suggest that the news is related mainly to AoS (in addition to the valid timing comment previously made  - not having 40k steal the thunder of AoS)...

    However, Warhammer 40k did not share the release of the KO (which was quite significant news) on their Facebook page - so if they are sharing this post, then it has to be a MAJOR announcement...

    He's the Celestant Prime Alpha :)

    Actually, despite all of his attacks, he is not as powerful as the Celestant-Prime.

    Assuming that the Prime drops in the 2nd turn and his cometstrike hits 2 units he will generate on average 10.67 wounds in his turn. That figure jumps to 16.0 if he drops on the 3rd turn and his cometstrike hits 3 units.

    Brokk's missile and melee attacks will generate on average 6.42 wounds per turn, or 11.85 if he's 'super-charged' and fighting a monster of hero (see calculations below)

    Both models have the same wound and save characteristics - if the Celestant-Prime is a glass canon, then so is this guy. The Prime's range attack is longer than Brokk's (24" vs. 18", 18" and 9").

    Doing back-of-the-envelope calculations, for Brokk to offer similar level of offensive and defensive efficiency, he should be priced at 240 points (we should know soon enough how right/wrong I am:ph34r:)

    My cohost for Warhammer Weekly will be at the Adepticon event this evening and we'll do our weekly show immediately after he gets out of the event.  I doubt they'll allow cameras but I've told him to take copious notes.

    Looking forward to the live report...

    I am very excited about the new pic - very Cthulhu-ish... I really hope that this will be an Aelves+Death release.

    I am not a Khorne player but nonetheless am VERY happy with the new battletome release. For me, this shows how reactive & nimble GW can be. Writing books and a few new abilities/spells/artefacts is a lot faster than producing models. GW has seen the feedback to the new battletomes (DoT and SEs) and is giving the people what they want...

     

    Everybody and their grandma are asking for new models for their armies. Let's remember that GW has limited resources, and can only move so fast; the development cycle for new models must be longer than we would think (I would not be surprised to hear that it is 12-18 months).

    Nonetheless, I have faith in GW and I am sure that their product roadmap includes releases for the most factions most in need. We've just had the duardins, we're expecting aelves and I am confident that Death is in the pipeline.

    And im am a death player so i do know how it feels. honestly am happy to just wait our turn.

     

    That's the right attitude^_^

    In my opinion death works better as a grand alliance than single dedicated factions.

    I 100% agree with this.

    Therefore I would expect GW to be releasing this year a Battletome for Death. If not, then maybe it means that they are waiting for the release of upcoming(?) models to release all at once.

    I suspect that we'll see a Nurgle combined tome later this year which rolls Clan Pestilens into a three-part Children of Nurgle force: Mortals, Daemons, and Clan Pestilens.  The plague priests will likely get Nurgle Prayers.  This fits right in line with their current design trajectory and remakes one of those prior tomes. 

    With or without new models, that would be pretty sweet...

    I think we all know it's coming, but another tidbit of info supporting the upcoming release of new Duardins: both games on Warhammer TV tomorrow involve Duardins and Fyreslayers, in line with WH TV's strategy to showcase upcoming release to garner interest.
