It is torturing that they are giving us some awesome short stories and lore stipites, but nothing regarding rule teasers! I feel the hype building speed; the Slaanesh release is so exciting that it feels like a holiday. Everyone is seems to be on the edge of their seat and very positive, and I am on the same boat; hopefully sometime this weekend they give us a rule tease.
If memory serves, rule previews usually comes after the first preorder announcement (ie next week if the first preorder announcement comes this sunday).

New WarCom article about the history of Beastmen. Maybe the Slaangor picture is previously unseen?

I like the army, I’m just getting flashbacks to before the OBR release.
Ugh, that was horrible. Nostalgia really is onehelluva drug.

New Boxed Game 'Bladeborn'.
My guess is that GW didn't sell enough of the Godsworn Hunt, so they try to piggyback them with Khagra's Ravagers to get rid of them. (see the Shadow & Pain box set for another example).

Berber duardin? Oh crud, yet another army I didn't know I needed up until now. 😛

I mean lets be real here we know who the true immortals are:
Vampires ≈ Immortal
Chaos Champions = Get Head caved in by troll and come back more magnificent then ever.
Guess troll ****** does wonders for the skin, amirite? 😛

this is what i thought as well... I guess they mean Slaanesh's influence? Which still reached the Mortal Realms while they're chained up, as we have Hedonites and daemons running around.
Schrödinger's Slaanesh. Chained and free at the same time. Typical GW. 😛

GW don't make false promises, that is true. But they certainly don't provide customers with all the information they might want to make informed purchasing decisions either. They definitely keep their plans for future expansions secret. And those plans might well impact the perceived value of a GW product for customers if they knew about them (as we indeed see with BR: Morathi and the battletome).
This is my biggest grievance with the GW marketing strategy as well. There is no roadmap or equivalent to look at regarding future plans for your favourite factions, and that has made me more wary of purchasing new stuff. It hurts my enjoyment of the game, and it hurts GW financially.
Compare with this, for just an example how competitors are handling it better.

I feel vindicated for all those times I have been telling people that called him a witch hunter that stakes means vampires.
The stakes are high in this discussion, but it's a fine point!

Huh, a Cursed City preview with the witch hunter fellow went up briefly on WarCom, then disappeared again. Anyone managed to catch it? Something about silver bullets and stakes burning the undead "alive", as far as I saw.

Underworld's Vampire:
Definitely feeling the paint job on this one a lot more. The armour being broken up by the cloth and the more defined hair really makes it pop.
Now THAT is what I call a vampiress! No doubts about the gender anymore, eh? 😛

Any thoughts?
Looking pretty solid to me. Still funny that the Vampire Lord wasn't in any Rumour Engine, but still spoiled in its entirety just before the presentation. Sucks to be GW sometimes. 😛

In the article footnote, they call the model a "he."
Pfft. Warhammer Community, what do they know?

Eh, I disagree. That body looks plenty female to me.

Rumour:
Indeed Vampires are coming. Part of their army will consist of current zombie and/or skeleton models. They are not the usual gothic, noble vampires. Expect a twist to them like some other armies received. Legions of Nagash will be transformed into something new, some models will be torn out from it. Shouldn't say where have I heard it.
Sounds likely considering quite a few of the rumour engines have been vampire-ish, and financially sound for GW as well. It will be nice to see what we can sink our teeth into this year (please let it be vampirates!)

The twinsouls faces are just deep enough into the uncanny valley where we usually find celebrities that has gone too far with their plastic surgery and whatnot. Perfectly Slaanesh, I will be getting a lot of them when they come around.

Would be nice, but do you think GW would see updaing the three year old Judicator kit as a good move when *guestures broadly at Seraphon*?
The same GW that updates Space Marines on a yearly basis whilst other armies languish with models 20+ years old? Yeah, that GW. 😛

New Rumour Engine is up! Looks pretty Stormcast-ish to me.

I think this book needs to be thought of as a supplement for casual play. The new temple introduces another way to play the army. It isnt a consideration for serious competitive play. That sucks, because it feels like a loss, but remember that we were, and still are, in a strong position. This arms race we are seeing with the drastic increases in power with the newer tomes isnt healthy. Id rather pass on being the next step up if it means a game where more than 2 or 3 armies have a chance of going 5-0 at an event.
This is pretty much how GW operates. They are not (completely) the bumbling fools they are sometimes thought to be, they are acutely aware of the competitive meta and they don't want to rock that boat. Everything GW does rules-wise makes much more sense if you look at the models used in the competitive scene as a smaller subset of the whole range. That's why the competitive Hagg Nar army lists are largely unchanged since the Battletome release, all else is for casual play. The Morathi book is a bone thrown at the casual players, nothing more.

Really excited to get my hands on this box, it looks fantastic!
What do you guys think to the chances of seeing a Tyrion model for the Lumineth to accompany Teclis? On the artwork of the Lumineth box there is artwork for Teclis and then another character behind him, could that be Tyrion and GW just haven’t shown us the model yet, or do you think there could be another elf release at some point in the future with Tyrion as the figurehead?
I think that is very likely, especially since Tyrion is explicitly mentioned in the community article describing the realm of Hysh.
QuoteThe centre of the Hysh is an island known as Xintil. It was here that Teclis awoke during the Age of Myth, and where the majority of the Sigmar-worshipping mortals to inhabit the realm dwell. Xintil is ringed by 8 vast islands, each making up a part of the ancient Lumineth Empire. Four of these – Syar, Iliatha, Ymetrica and Zaitrec are known as the Teclian nations, and primarily base their culture on the teachings of Teclis, while Oultrai, Aurathrai, Helon and Alumnia are heavily militarised states who primarily seek to emulate Tyrion.
