Tyrion may not be a behemoth sized model. There are several references to Tyrion and horses. He could be a medium sized dual kit riding a horse like the Liege Kavalos kit.
i think I would genuinely prefer that to be honest, just give him a badass fiery version of malhandir

Just out of curiosity, as I'm quite new to AoS and know very little about 'Adepticon'.....
When it 'has' been on, how big have GW's reveals been, historically speaking......?
I'm just trying to get a gauge on how likely it is that Games Workshop could have something 'huge' still to reveal next Saturday ..... Or not....?
I would say there is quite a bit more to go, there is likely also the sons of bahumet for aos and they barely touched on 40k this week, I wouldn't be surprised to see a primarch return or some sort of big primaris wave tbh.

I’m really in two minds about this.
On the one hand, they even in the last reveal used idioms like “scratched the surface”, “just dipped toe in the water”. They also have been going on about Teclian and Tyrionic elements the sun spirit and all kind things in almost every lowdown (if you look at the Dawnrider and Exemplars articles specifically it’s almost impossible to think Tyrion isn’t part of this release). I also would find it strange if they don’t have something up the sleeve at the end of the reveal circle. Some people also mentioned that this would be a really big faction.
On the other hand, every rumour engine, detailed story piece, art, and the terrain sculpts we have seen were all about the mountain faction. Even the ones where we spotted stuff they didn’t want us to see, like the hammer unit. And they have now for months slowly released units from this faction. So it could easily be that’s basically it. We only get another hero or two, a conversion we haven’t seen yet and maybe a war machine.
I hope that we get one more element at least. Even if they incorporate the Phoenix Temple, which from their background fit perfectly with the Lumineth. The veiled lady with the brazier could even fit with them. They often depicted a brazier brazier together with a Phoenix and her closed eyes could be a reference to Tyrion (and we have Frostheart Phoenixes soceven the blue wouldn’t be too off). I just think after all the teases about Tyrion and Phoenixes, flying creatures in Hysh etc., it would be really strange if the Lumineth range would not include him and don’t even have a flying non-hero unit.
But if they don’t even give a hint about something like that in the next preview, then I guess we won’t see it this time at least.
I strongly think scratch the surface and toe in the water imply we are getting river, honestly river being sort of..chargey movey guys to the mountains immovable object would be cool. Tyrion coming later with wind and zenith makes me think that perhaps he will bring aerial units and stuff which would be a great expansion.

I don't get this pushback about Elves and hammers either to be honest..if it was good enough for Tolkien and middle earth then why is it not fitting enough for Age of Sigmar?
Also they can presumably control rock so why would they use a weapon that wasnt effectively a large rock on a stick?

I think if I don't like the hammer helmets when I see them from all angles IL either turn them into back banners or make the horns smaller and put them on the shoulder pad and add fur to the cape to increase the white lion vibe,

Yeah but he was their Smith God. There has never been an iteration of elves going to war with two handed hammers
.
There is an entire house of Elves who use battle hammers in Gondolin...Elves with hammers is not an unheard of thing in fantasy. .Bit of a tinfoil hat theory but considering our preview got split in two does anyone else think that may be because we are going to have part of our stuff revealed when sons of bahumet are? two army box incoming? I did always think Eltharion, the spearmen and the cavalry looked suspiciously like half a battle box but I'd love a renegade style thing with a mountain spirit vs a giant

I think I will enjoy these mountain spirits a lot more when I see them painted like they are made entirely of stone and animated by a mountain spirit instead of big fleshy bulls in armour

I love them and I'd be fine if this was the full release however I strongly think we are going to get a river elite unit and behemoth to go with the veiled lady, probably dual kits with hammers and cow men. I can't see us getting four elements or Tyrion now but atleast we know we have a huge update to look forwards to if that's the case
Edit : as i look again I still can't tell if the veiled lady is river or wind so could be wind units
-
As sad as it makes me, I'm starting to think Tyrion isn't coming. To be honest I think it would make more sense if he arrived when Malerion does as part of a story where Slaanesh either gets out or nearly gets out considering they are both in charge of guarding his prison...I want him now though

I'm seeing a lot of talk about certain units representing the elements, however I dont believe this will be the case, the release isnt likely to be big enough to get enough representation in to theme an army with elemental units.While some units may have runes that favour one over another, I think the elemental side of things will definitely be the subfactions/enclaves for the book, with army wide bonuses that represent the elements.
I can't see us getting every element but they have already shown us a hero devoted to the mountain path and a unit banner implying similar, how many of the paths are to be left and fleshed out in the future remains to be seen but I don't think it's purely an army bonus, probably somewhere in the middle

Call my a cynic but I really don’t think Tyrion is going to be a model. I really hope I’m wrong but no other faction has had 2 God’s in one army before, it’s always just 1 big epic leader guy or gal.
Yeah, honestly I massively prefer Tyrion to Teclis but I can see this release being Teclis, generic troops, mountain and river or wind and Tyrion and the other geomantic castes coming later. Really hope I am wrong though
-
If our ' aspect warriors' turn out to be two dual boxes what are you all expecting? I can kinda see wind and zenith being some sort of flying unit and mountain and river being elite infantry?
I'm actually really hoping there are mountain Hammerers now, especially if they can cast rock spells as well as hammering things..really hope the aspect warriors are like Jedi that have some magic and martial prowess
-
I honestly can't see every geomantic aspect being fleshed out this release, it would be an insanely large launch. I do think Lumineth have the most potential for later expansion out of all the aos armies so far though

I really hope this ....knuckle duster tuning fork sword thing is not lumineth as that looks absolutely terrible and not even slightly functional
Edit: Just realised that could be some sort of super insane monster killing bow I guess :')
