New boxed set reveal on Monday and who knows, potentially we may get some more AOS news on New Years Day!! The AOS hype train is refueling and loading its passengers, mind the gap!!
I could see GW doing another Preview teaser like last new year. Which included both AoS and 40K even though the Christmas Preview was AoS only. So hopefully the reverse is true this year too.

I don't play Soulbound but this looks tempting.
Speaking of Soulbound and Cursed City, im really looking forward to the Ulfenkarn Expansion for Soulbound now.
From the Production Update a few weeks ago:
"Ulfenkarn: City at the Edge of Death
Explore the terrifying city of Ulfenkarn, a city ruled by a tyrannical vampire named Radukar the Wolf. Doom grips the city as its people are stalked by nightmarish undead horrors with no hope of escape.
Ulfenkarn: City at the Edge of Death is an in-depth guide to the cursed city of Ulfenkarn. It details the history of the city, and offers GMs advice on playing in different periods of the city’s bleak past. This book offers dozens of locations and adventure hooks, advice for GMs on running horror-themed campaigns, and a horde of new horrific creatures you’ll encounter in Ulfenkarn. As well as that, the book includes new Archetypes built using the Grim and Perilous rules from Soulbound, and gives players the chance to take on roles such as a Vampire Hunter, a Doomsayer of Sigmar, an Aelven Exile, and a Guard Captain of Ulfenkarn.
Ulfenkarn: City at the Edge of Death is expected to release in PDF in Q1 of 2022, and in stores Q2."

Of newer models? From what I have seen the recent releases all seem to go for the other statline.
Lumineth Vanari Dawnrider, Warden and Sentinels all wound on the 4+ and a good chunk also hits on the 4+

My alarith, illiatha, hurakan and mixed variants are all destroyed, but if i make a Teclis syar list seems almost the same for me.
What a damm joke
What did change for your Hurakan list? Sure, Windcharger got a bit more expansive, but the generic fox got only modest increase and the mage stayed the same.
On the other hand, Sevireth is now even more of a beast and the Windmage now got easy access to more of our excelente spells.

People who like the models...?
This ^
A large part of the community doesnt care all that much about competitiveness or rules in general. Not to mention people that dont play at all and only collect.
Also, with 3.0 right around the corner, good and bad units may easily change places in 2-3 months. -
Im a little late, but I finally finished Sevireth! Painting the vortex took me ages, but overall im pretty happy with how he turned out. Im definitely getting a generic Hurakan Spirit too!

It's interesting that this is going to be the final broken realms because that would mean several factions are not getting anything before 3.0. They did say it would affect every army but apparently it seems like half the factions are being ignored
They said every faction will be affected. Not that every faction will get rules. Considering what has happened so far, Id say every faction has been affected from a narrative point so far.

Now that we have more countries to choose from, I want to replicate this with the Lumineth. Outside of the models tied to Ymetrica specifically, which unit would you put where, what do you think would be a good unifying color, and would matching bases still work, considering how different each country is geographically?
Adding to the other comments you got so far, I think a Loreseeker would fit perfectly for Alumnia.
The Loreseekers are the most Tyronic of the Scinari. While their journey across the Realms fits in very well with the adventure spirit of the Alumnia Lumineth.

Whats the speculation on release date? I'm a long term undead fan and highly likely to buy this book and actually play some AOS accordingly.
Hard to say when It will drop.
When know that GW usually starts showing stuff 2-4 months before release, but the current Covid situation may mess with that.
Personally, I think May or June seems likely, considering the rumors of third Edition dropping this summer.

Dagnai Holdenstack: 100 points, Leader and Unique.
Really curious to see his warscrollI hope we get a good look at the Cursed City sprues soon. If GW put all the Heroes on their own small sprues I could see them being sold long after Cursed City is over. Kinda how we still have the Knight-Questor and the Fyreslayer Doomseeker from Silver Tower.

Why can’t a vampire count have ghouls or spirit hosts like the old days? I will be disappointed if the corpse cart and Black Coach aren’t in the book. The coach carries a vampire after all, yet its distinctly nighthaunt, yes? Also, I noticed dire wolves are off the website. New kit or just repackaging you think?
Well, Vampires have access to Ghouls. Its just that nobody else wants to associate with that kind of Vampires. Ghouls in AoS are explicitly linked to the insanity passed down along Ushoran's blood line.
Dire Wolves will probably get a new kit considering how prominently they have featured in the new material.

I see a lot of talking about how the victory was "unearned" and pandering to the Lumineth.
First, the Lumineth campaign in Shyish was repealed, every loss suffered by the Ossiarchs easily replaced and then the lands of the Lumineth get invaded themselfes. Multiple cities razed to the ground as Ossiarchs and Flesh-Eater rampage through Ymetrica.
In the end, Teclis gets gravely wounded and only survives trough the intervention of another god, Alarielle.
Teclis ritual also bound Nagashs body to Mount Avalenor, the sacred peak of Ymetrica (this defilement will have consequences for the surrounding lands).
In the end, Nagash and Arkhan will come back, this is not the first time for either of them. While every Lumineth that dies would stay dead (except Eltharion, but having him die to Arkhan twice would be boring).

Just splashed out on an Arkhan kit as the centre of a new Bonereaper army. Not sure what to do now.
Tempted to just convert the model as a random Bonereaper wizard and run as ‘counts as Arkhan’, bit will the scroll be squatted in AOS 3.0 do you think?
Him being part of a big and expensive multi-part kit together with two more important characters guarantees that he will not be squatted. Miniatures come first for GW, always. So as long as that kit exists, he is save.
They also wouldnt have featured him so prominently in the Ossiarchs Tome if they had planned on getting rid of him.
Like the others said, he will stay playable, but he might be out of action for a bit, from a narrative perspective.
For a quick comparison, the Blood Angels have a playable character that has been "dead" for 6 editions now.-

Yet, even though it wasn't crushing all tournaments, GW nerfed Pertifex into the ground (also hit down Savage Strike). The negative reaction from the community was enough. A similar story happened with Slaanesh (even though they were undoubtedly much MUCH better than OBR ever were).
What can we take from this? An interaction doesn't have to be ruling the top tables for it be NPE, and GW have nerfed these sort of interactions before. Also that "just play around it" is a bull**** excuse/justification.
I dont think thats accurate. Before the Petrifex nerf Ossiarch Bonereapers were a top table army. The Honest Wargamer had them at a 67% winrate in January 2020: https://thehonestwargamer.com/cancon-lvo-stats/
Slaanesh too reached a 66% winrate during the times of the tripple Keeper.-

Creation of a new army is not a win, its an excuse to sell models. I am talking about actual head to heads with other lore characters.
But Skaven doing something to the Pyramide (not to Nagash!) is a loss?
If you only count character interactions, he easily beat Morathi during the Age of Myth. He also ate almost all Death Gods in Shyish (even during the Age of Sigmar as shown in a Malign Portents story). He imprisoned Ushoran and made Katakros surrender to him trough his sheer presence. -

Nagash creates a huge vortex of death energy in the center of Shyish, empowering his forces in the Prime Innerlands (previously one of the safer regions for the living)
raises the dead all over the realms and gifts him a completely new Legion with the NighthauntFrees Katakros from Sigmars prison and releases the Ossiarch Bonereapers, which proceed to build their own empire and completly stomp on many cities of Order
Retakes BOTH sides of the Shyish Arc-Way and establish a permanent base inside the Eight-Points
DEATH got alot out of this era.

Honestly DEEPLY disappointed this is the way they went. GW knows how to write a narrative that isn't 'the bad guys fail at everything everytime'.
Like not a single success. Not a single battle won. Nothing.
And that ending?
Nah. Not for me.
It feels like Death, after finally getting something worthwhile narratively, got shafted so hard to show 'big hat Aelf strong' to the extent that literally everything that could go right for them just goes right for the sake of 'theyre GW's favourites now'
The good guys lost the previous book and Nagash had a whole narrative centered around him and his faction. This just knocks him down a peg and opens up DEATH a bit more since He and Arkhan are out of the picture for a while (nothing permanent, its DEATH afterall).

Really hope the dual temple approach works, Its my favorite part of lumineth!
Any "future insights" on the battleline options? Are blademasters and windchargers under some subfaction/general?
Apparently, we will be able to take 1 unit of Bladelords as battleline option for each *Scinari* in the army. While Helon unlocks Windchargers the same way Ymetrica unlocks Stoneguard.

Add to that the melusainhad a horde breaking mortal wound cloud and it was game over for me.
Horde breaking? Do you mean the Crystal Touch of the Blood Sisters? Just a quick heads-up, its one dice per Melusai, not per model in the target unit. So its better against smaller units.
If you played it like this, forget that I said anything. But thats a common mistake with abilities like this.

I have the question regarding the books.
BR: Teclis and LRL Battletome 2.0 are coming out at the same time, right? So... is there a point to buy both of them, if I'm mostly interested in the updated LRL lore and units? I bought BR: Morathi but, with the new DoK battletome, it seems that what I mostly got out of this book was the story... but paying 20 bucks or so for a story seems a bit excessive, doesn't it?
Well, if you only want the Lumineth rules, the Battletome should be enough. If you also play Cities, Flesh-Eater Courts, Ossiarch Bonereapers or Nurgle the BR would be useful too. I also think, if its anything like BR:Morathi, it would be worth it for the story alone.

Ah thanks, I couldn't remember where har kuron was, and the AoS fandom/Wikia page hasn't been updated so couldn't check it up.
Where would Chamon pop up in your opinion if not with the duardin?
When it comes to Wikis, the Lexicanum is pretty active: https://ageofsigmar.lexicanum.com/wiki/Anvilgard
Chamon could theoretically pop-up where ever. In Morathi we got the Eight-Points, Ulgu and Aqshy, when only Ulgu had a real connection to Morathi. Teclis looks like it will cover Shyish, Hysh and Ghyran.
While the Duardin are linked very strongly to Chamon, we also have the Gloomspite Gits and the Thunder Lizard Seraphon there (and judging from the Underworlds Warband, Thunder Lizards are the poster boy subfaction of the Seraphon). -

Not that bad for Lumineth, some things cheaper than expected (Terrain, Sevireth...), some things as expensive as expected (Bladelords) and some things more expensive than expected (Ballista).
Im really surprised by Sevireth being literally only half the price of Avalenor! Are the Wind Spirits that much smaller? The 5€ extra on the Wind Charger sting a little, but seeing the three smaller heroes all below 30€ is nice.
