  1. To be expected, honestly. AoS has been sorely missing a proper human faction since its inception, and it is not surprising that GW is focusing on the humans. There is much evidence proving that a great many players will gravitate towards the faction they can identify with the most. The writing has been on the wall for quite some time, and with the imminent relaunch of the Old World the non-human parts of CoS have their days numbered.
  2. Totally. My reasoning is that I need to start CoS so I don't have to feel bad about all my unfinished Lumineth, Sylvaneth and Kharadron stuff lying about. They can join too! 😅
  3. I would be surprised too see a release in september, which I think is too late. I think there is a good chance of preorder announcement this sunday even. GW want the hype machine free from AoS and running in good order for the dual 40k Mahreen/Tyranid release, which will be massive.
  4. Full agreement. It's what happened with Lumineth and Slaanesh. Expect an updated battletome in about a year.
  5. The word you are looking for is probably "t-shirt launchers".
  6. The wolf-like creature in the new Warcry set looks like it's sprung from a japanese yokai painting. It's so awesome!
  7. Gobsprakk preview is up, including pictures of generic Killaboss on Vulcha. Not seen before, methinks? https://www.warhammer-community.com/2021/09/14/take-a-detailed-look-at-gobsprakks-model-which-is-absolutely-dangling-with-detritus/
  8. Oh, is it 10am now? Apologies, been a while since I participated in the Great Preorder Race(tm).
  9. A steady finger on your confirmed functioning F5 key. It hinges on when your supplier of plastic toys and whatnot makes their preorders available, but for GW's own webstore it reliably hovers at saturday 11:00AM in your local time.
  10. Looks quite demonic. Companions for Be'lakor to push around, mayhaps? 😛
  11. The good folks over at Goonhammer did a re-evaluation of the battletome, two weeks later. It's a good read. Evaluating the new Hedonites of Slaanesh Battletome – Is the Army Any Good Now?
  12. Well, I hope you are right. There has indeed been a long period of SCE being absent from the hype schedule, might be building up for some big news come AoS 3.0? Time will tell.
  13. That formula has worked wonders for GW in 40k (financially, that is) so there is a good chance the heroic SCE narrative will be pushed even further in AoS, unfortunate as it is. Marinehammer 40k lieutenants is what drove me away from that game, I would hate to see it happen here as well.
  14. That is true, but what I wanted to express was that fluff as written is a poor metric to gauge how the army will perform at the tabletop. The writers at GW will write all kinds of heroic/horrific nonsense to build hype, but very little of that fluff survives contact with a competitive environment. To expect otherwise is to set oneself up for perpetual disappointment.
  15. Well, if each and every army matched their fluff everyone would be invincible, right? There need to be some semblance of gameplay balance first and foremost. Granted, some units are probably overcosted even when considering the summoning powers, but let's see how they perform over a few games first. There is already some valuable information given in this discussion by people playing, so progress is being made!
