yeah me too [although I was hoping Squats..] .. checked Dakka and its another Imperial ... dwarf fans will have to wait.. although I reckon these rumours are just for the first quarter of 2021- looks like Slaanesh, vampire war band for Underworlds, inquisition, Drukhari and ?

Yep- with the others looks like maybe an Inquisitor and retinue - maybe Killteam/Quest?

Yeah- could be scenery pieces rather than basing? Thinking this looks like releases for the first quarter of 2021 ..

I think Cities of Sigmar [humans] vs Destruction [Orcs] would be excellent and most interesting, Stormcast could eb there as an elite choice and they could explore the more out-there elements of a Cities force with new humans/Devoted. On the opposition sid they could do new orcs with a smattering of others like trolls/gobbos/fimir. I'm not into either faction but I think it would be a cool take on an old rivalry and would add to the setting a lot.. Destruction I think is being set up as the major antagonist for the next chapter of AoS -especially with the first Broken Realms story setting up a new Waaagh. Its a good system where they cycle through Chaos/Death/Destruction with each edition.

Maybe goes with that big club and the prodder... destruction maybe?

It hasn't got that bad!😁 Thinking back what were the AoS releases this year- Lumineth and ?? Kharadron got two characters [including Bugmansson there], Slaves got a new start collecting of new sculpts.. this year was mostly 40k marines and Necrons wasn't it??

I think thats the vibe they are putting into Kurnothi- the war dancers, wild riders -be interesting to see if Warhawk riders or the old beast masters return in some form.

Don't we all! I keep hoping for a Kurnothi hint in the rumour engines.. but alas nothing.. keeping myself occupied by converting up my own. With Direchasm out maybe the Underworlds war band will be available on its own soon.

Yeah I was thinking that- at this point we only have an idea that Slaanesh mortals are next but nothing beyond that- they'd probably want to preview any more developments with miniature or broken realms previews rather than novels.

Zoats might fit in with the Kurnothi... ? They look ace- I love the new models [both the 40k and BB ones]. Funny how they are so sinister in 40k and aligned with "order" in AoS.

I think Malerion elves are another year away- they are the mirror of Lumineth and I think GW will give them a bit of distance from the lumineth and start dropping more Malerion references in the build up. I actually expect/hope Kurnothi come first- they see to be a bit more established in name drops, I think they'll be. smaller faction twinned with Sylvaneth, Malerion Elves will be a larger faction they will give serious time to. No idea about the possibility of new dwarfs/Grungni.. But hopefully Broken Realms will show us were they are going, its looking pretty exciting either way! I love how the Broken Realm books already seem to be adding much to the setting and I'm betting the Aelven hero spirits released [Aenarion] will play an important part.. [thats my guess to the return of Kurnoth..] Funny how there are pretty much no rumours now bar what comes form GW...

THIS!!!!

Yeah I get the sense (and maybe I’m being overly optimistic here) that the6 are trying to freshen up 40k. The new Necrons look really interesting, but then as he mentions , the new Banshees( whilst beautifully designed) are essentially the same models I collected 20 + years ago when they first came out. Part of that is the fan base not wanting change- I argued with other players about new weapon variants but they were dead against it. I find eldar pretty dull now, still love my Nids as there is more scope I think for conversions and kit bashes. AoS seems so fresh (because it’s new) I love my flying dwarfs and I’ve collected dwarfs for years and the Kurnothi have really grabbed my attention too were in converting my own additions to the war band . Even the factions I don’t collect make the setting look so fun and interesting. Of the course the drawback is the model ranges don’t have as much depth as the 40k or old fantasy ranges did, but if/when they do that might make AoS a bit more design fixed..

Could be a hound variant rather than a mount, exodites use different sizes of "dragons " for different things.

I think its Eldar Exodites- that looks like armour over the top of its head /nose- maybe a rune across the top?

Yeah I felt quite Christmas-y while I watched it.. Of course the damn Skaven are hovering around the edges of joy... Today's rumour engine definitely looks Hobbit-like to me- short arms and big hands.. maybe a ratling for 40k ?

Thanks for that! The sled looks epic! love the glowing porthole and fantastic wolves !

Yep looks like vampire lady sword masters... daughters of Abhorash maybe? These look very interesting.. I based my WFB VC around martial female vamps, be interesting to see their lore.

These are brilliant! You'rereally going to town on them! Love the sled! What head is that on Lara?

When did he say this and I what context? Really hoping for Kurnothi. Love the idea of using the BB tree an and Treebeard too they are cracking models.

Those weapons look very classic- almost to the point of me thinking they are WFB, to me it either is Cities or a Vampire faction in the cities/modelled on the cities, it doesn't scream Realm of Death to me, could be the martial prowess of Blood dragons, the infiltration of Neferata and the classic nobility of Vlad. But it might well be a human force.

Definitely think its female -either CoS or Vamps [maybe lady duelists as a twist on Blood Knights?]. Might be. a Warcry war band rather than full faction.

I have very old models [some from3rd ed WFB] and they have a lot of history but I happily stripped them and I'm going to repaint them to give them a refresh . Think of it as fresh uniforms.

Duardin I think could be pulled in by something being uncovered/returned - Optimally Grungni either sets to restore the old empire or/and finds/returns Valaya. But thats pretty major, not sure if Duardin will feature as heavily. I do think either a relic or a hold is uncovered or a Skyport/lodge is attacked. I like the idea of a reclamation expedition, but anything thing that adds to Duardin culture in the Realms ... model wise- female KO? Maybe a CC marine/explorer unit? Can't speak for Fyreslayers though [ they need more units] and I don't think the dispossessed will reclaim their homelands just yet. I doubt Duadin will get anything of significance from the series -seems to be pretty aelf driven. Maybe a rangers war band though Warcry.

I was hoping for new dwarfs... not quite what I had in mind!😁
