Harpo2

The preview might cover the Stormcast and Orruk Warclan release, the next 40k codexs, contents of the announced 40k box set and the leaked Horus Heresy box set.

40k rhino is already useable in 30k, there is no different stat line for a Mars pattern (GW) or Deimos (FW). The leak 30k spaces marines also look to be different size to the 40k space marines (matching the increase that 40k chaos marines got), so I say the rumour of 40k stuff geting moved into 30k is bunk.

Vandus Hammerhand makes an appearance in the rumour engine article, maybe he going to in another starter set?

I did not know that since I don't play Nighthuant, though that does show that GW is willing to take ideas from battalions and use them else where.

One of the reasons why I like Chaos Dwarfs is the aversion of the standard Dwarf archetype. Dwarves in fantasy media tend to be the samey, so any averison to the archetype always stand out to me even if its just dwarf but evil (which the chaos dwarfs are more then that). Plus the Iron Daemon an evil daemonic train pulling artillery is the kind of silly I love in warhammer. Choo-Choo.

I wonder if Cruel Boyz are related in anyway to Orruk Yoofs, the young Orruks who slunk about hunting in caves before getting big enough to join a Warband.

With the rumour that GW is getting rid of faction battalions, maybe abilities from certain battalions will be transfered to warscrolls. Like Thunderhead Brotherhood letting Liberators boost Judicator defence getting turned into Liberators upping the defence of any unit near them. Just an idea I had when I saw that post.

For Stormcasts, I want more warmachines/artillery, Lord Commander (and Vandus Hammerhand to be made Lord Commander), a more full on melee flying unit (prosecutors feel more like harrasement unit). For general use I would also like to see GW make some endless prays but for specific gods that any faction can use as long as the faction can follow that god. I just think it be neat for the gods to be able interact more in game since they so important in the lore.

Path to Glory is getting a rework to be more like 40k Crusade mode (more narrative driven 40k game mode) Also there is a new website for AoS with a countdown that ends in 19 days (so the 29th of May). https://ageofsigmar.com/?utm_source=WarhammerCommunity&utm_medium=Post&utm_campaign=NextEditionofWarhammerAgeofSigmar10052021&utm_content=NextEditionofWarhammerAgeofSigmar10052021

Be'lekor lore is that he is the first ever daemon prince of chaos and he is also only daemon prince that was created by multiple chaos gods. Since Be'lekor was created by multiple chaos gods, no one chaos god could command him. So Chaos Gods all decided to ignore him (except for Be'lekor job to crown the Everchosen) and focus on making their own daemon princes that they would be able to command themselves learning from Be'lekor that group projects are a terrible idea.

The new deathrattle skeltons have the options to use bows in the Soulbound Beastiary.

Anyone notice he painted his fingernails turquoise. Savage Orruks are the fashionistas of Orruk society. Also is the skull hanging off his neck from something?

I think CA (the game devs) said that there was no plans for Araby (around the time Vampire Coast came out). Cathay I think was spurred on by Total War's large chinese fanbase, appealing to GW wanting to enter the asian market (see the gatcha style 40k releases they did im Japan as an example).

I would not be surpised now if the launch box set for Old World is Plastic Kislev vs Chaos Daemons to tie into Total War Warhammer 3, since Daemons are an easy carry over to Old World and having the core roster of Kislev be in plastic would match how the other more recent specialist game have been (Blood Bowl, Necromunda, Titanicus).

Pestigors for Maggotkin and Khorngors for Blades of Khorne would be nice, both books are in need of a rules update and having all the chaos gods (minus GHR) specific beastmen would be nice. Could then update the Beast of Chaos book to include all the god aligned Beastmen (and make their rules better). Actually mentioning Maggotkin, them and Idoneth don't have endless spells yet. I could see both getting a new rules book with endless spells like DoK.

I think the thing most likely is a bundled box set for each army based around a battalion in the book like in Broken Realm: Morathi.

I like Fyreslayers, I just really dislike the default colour scheme they have. Models that have samey looks and are mostly organic (as in not wearing armour ) I find can benefit a lot from variation in skin tones, and hair colour in making them look more natural and alive. It also does not help that GW selection of oranges is one of their weakest paint ranges.

Chirstmas preview might be for the Slaanesh stuff that was not revealed, though the advent calender could be the lead up to the Chirstmas reveal.

Daughters of Khaine get a coin and Morathi book is released Death Guard are getting a codex in December so the coin lines up for that. Slaanesh coin might be for the underworld release or Slaanesh might get an expansion in January. The coins do appear to be lining up with releases.

Maybe its a character related to the Halloween picture. New vampire Mortarch who is related to Ven Brecht?

I wonder if Slaanesh breaking out or Gorddrak siege on Excelsis/Azyr is going to be the penultimate event for Broken Realms.

I guess Sigmar's make friends with the murder cult plan not working out too well. I am guessing that Morathi has decide that Slaanesh looks more tasty than a dead god heart is going to try become a god by siphoning Slaanesh power.

There is a that quote about free stuff that I always think about when people talk about internet websites and marketing: "If you're not paying for the product you are the product" That quote is from the 1970s and is about TV advertising and it has only gotten more applicable with the rise of the internet. The Warhammer Community site is free but has to pay its money back somehow and I think it does it by being GW mouthpiece for news announcements and also be one of the sources for the companies internet advertising. A general criticism I have with the Community site is that there is no sort feature for articles because the article in the OP would be useful if GW had a filter for articles that helped people get started in the hobby.

Could be a Kurnothi base decoration. Sylvaneth models tend to have bugs and such hanging around them, Kurnothi could be the same.
